Chapter 187 2 Eyes 1 Open and Fight
"That's great, boss. How much do you sell this mortar for?"
"On weekdays I charge 250 coins per head. Today you bought the mill and helped us do such a big business, so I'll charge you 200 coins per head. How about that?"
Two hundred and five?
The two of them almost laughed out loud. They really wanted to thank the boss for not letting them go back with three idiots.
"Okay, okay, let's charge two hundred each." Fearing that the boss would change his mind and charge them two hundred and fifty, the two of them hurriedly agreed.
Surprised at how happy the two were, Boss Shi couldn't help but smile. What he earned that day was more than what he usually earned in the past six months.
"Okay, it's settled. Sister, which village do you live in? I'll have my two sons deliver it to you tomorrow morning when it's ready."
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were still figuring out how to pull Zhao Youwang's ox cart, but they didn't expect there was such a thing as door-to-door delivery service.
"You can deliver it to our door, that's great. We live in Laohuaiqing, has Boss Shi ever heard of it?"
"Laohuaiqing? Is there a Sun Wanshan living there?" Boss Shi pondered for a moment and asked the two people.
"Boss Shi knows Uncle Sun?" The three of them were a little surprised.
"I guess he knows, but he may not remember me. When he built his house, he ordered a lot of things from me, such as stone tables and stone steps. I went to your village quite often back then."
So that's how it is. He also said he was afraid he had met some relative.
Duan Minmin thought of the stone table in the Sun family's courtyard at that time: "That's right, I went to their house before, and the stone table in the courtyard was indeed very exquisitely made. It turned out to be your work."
"It was exactly what I did, so it should still be in good condition now." Boss Shi was a little proud.
"It's really good."
"That's it, we'll deliver it to your village tomorrow morning when we're done. But once we get to the entrance of the village, how are we going to find your house?"
"My home is at the entrance of the village. I guessed I was busy in the fields when you came. I came to inform them when I saw you. If I am busy and don't see you, you can just shout 'Zhao Youwang' towards the entrance of the village." Zhao Youwang took the initiative to speak.
"Okay! Brother Zhao."
"Thank you for your help, boss. But how much money do we need to pay first today?" Zheng Yuan asked.
Of course, it was impossible to pay the full amount for the goods just like that. After all, it was just the first day they met. Although the boss said he knew Sun Wanshan, the two of them were not so careless as to pay the full amount before receiving the goods.
"Just give me the money for the mortar first, and you can pay the rest tomorrow when we deliver it."
The boss was quite generous and trusted them very much, so Zheng Yuan readily took out six hundred coins and handed them over.
Come to think of it, this thing is in his hand. If the two people don't pay for it, he can take it back. He won't lose the six hundred coins.
"Then please help me, Boss Shi, hold on tighter. We will go back first."
After settling the matter, the two planned to go back home. There was a lot to do that day.
"I said let's have a quick meal here. Your sister-in-law just went back to cook, and it should be almost ready by now." Boss Shi invited the three of them.
"No, no, the kids are waiting for me at home. Come back another day, come back another day."
The two of them were not so shameless as to go to someone's house for dinner when they met for the first time.
Besides, this was naturally just a polite remark. His wife didn't know they were coming, so why would she prepare extra food? The three of them went there happily, which was just causing trouble for others.
"That's fine. I won't keep you here. Be careful on the road. Don't worry, sister. I'll deliver it tomorrow."
Boss Shi followed them out and sent the three people to the ox cart. He watched the ox cart go away before returning to the backyard.
"Hurry up and find the stone materials that can be used to make mortars. We have to get them out before tomorrow morning."
As soon as he returned to the backyard, Boss Shi hurriedly found the tools and asked the two brothers to find stones. The three of them, father and son, started chiseling in the backyard.
This big stone mill has been sold. I think it should be enough for this year's consumption. We must treat the things that people ask for well.
Boss Shi's wife prepared dinner and waited at home but the father and his two sons did not come back. So she went upstairs and saw that they were still working hard at chiseling stones.
Boss Shi's wife's eyes almost popped out of her head. The father and his two sons were doing physical work. On normal days, they wouldn't even be asked to work a little longer at mealtime. Why were they working so hard today?
After asking the father and his two sons, she learned that her husband's precious stone lump had finally been sold. Boss Shi's wife was extremely happy and picked up her tools to join the father and his two sons.
When Zheng Yuan and the other two returned to the village, it was already dark. After paying Zhao Youwang for the taxi, the two of them hurried home as they could not keep the children waiting anxiously.
Today, Zhao Youwang was paid 40 cents for the car rental. After all, he was tired after a whole day and had accompanied the two of them on a trip. The two were already very grateful.
When they got home, the children were indeed getting impatient. When the two of them walked in, Dashu and Erhe were just about to go to the village entrance to wait for them.
The children were relieved to see them come back.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin told the children what had just happened when they went to order the stone mill and mortar, and walked towards the kitchen. They were so hungry after running around all day.
Taoer prepared a sumptuous dinner today. After eating, both of them were exhausted and went straight to bed after washing up.
Sleep all night until dawn.
Hearing the sound of the children getting up in the yard, the two struggled to get up.
They really have to fight as soon as they open their eyes. It feels like they are back to the time when they were working as office workers. There are endless things to do every day and not enough sleep.
After breakfast, the children went to the village chief's house, and then the two of them and Mr. Jiang went to the toothbrush factory as usual. The factory was already busy.
After telling Chang'an yesterday to put the toothbrush in the sun, he is now carrying the toothbrush outside.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin looked through it carefully and found no problems.
There is no mold and the toothbrushes are made almost the same as those produced in factories. If you don't compare them carefully, you can't tell the difference.
After the villagers' hard work over the past few days, the toothbrushes have filled four large boxes, and it is roughly estimated that there are five or six thousand toothbrushes.
The two people in Kunzhou Prefecture thought that at most 20,000 swords would be a lot. Firstly, this thing had never been seen before. Secondly, although they had been building up momentum in the early stages, it was still unknown whether ordinary people would be willing to pay for it.
According to the situation in Queensland, a reasonable amount would be close to 20,000 by the 25th.
After inspecting the factory, they found no problems and Jiang Fangyuan's family did not come to cause trouble last night. The two of them took Mr. Jiang and Jiang Shui to the mill.
The foundation of the mill has taken shape. Now the old man is leading five or six strong men working hard. I have to say that their efficiency is really high.
Seeing them coming, these people did not stop, but just greeted the four people.
It seems that the foundation pit was dug yesterday, and today they are reinforcing the foundation with stones. Seeing this, the two of them felt relieved, because the foundation built in this way is very stable and will definitely not collapse.
"Dad, how far can we achieve today?" Zheng Yuan stopped Grandpa Chen who was hammering the stone foundation.
Old Master Chen put down the hammer in his hand and took a breath.
"I think the wooden floor underneath can be laid. Your eldest brother has already taken others to the mountains to cut wood. Your mill is small, so you won't need much wood. He will be back at one in the afternoon. Then we can lay the wooden planks on top and it will be straight."
