Time is like water in a sponge, but it will still be squeezed, but people's stomachs are different. Once you are full, you are full, and it is difficult to drink more water. Under Zhu Wuyi's various refusals, Wang Busheng also put away this very wasteful idea.
After returning to his shop, all the finishing work has been completed. The decorator is sitting on the ground and resting. He is happy to see Wang Busheng back. After all, this is the person who gave the money.
The middle-aged man who was probably the leader of the group stood up, walked over, clasped his fists and bowed, and said cheerfully, "The boss has made a fortune. This store has been renovated. Take a look and see if there is anything you're not satisfied with. Let's try again." Change it for you.”
"Look at the service attitude, how kind it is." Wang Bushit was very satisfied, picked up a wooden stick and started tapping the floor repeatedly. Don't think it's bad to check other people's work in front of them. This is recognition of others and responsibility for yourself.
The simple people of Songjiang Prefecture are still very honest, and they are very dedicated to their work. The work standards are acceptable, and Wang Busheng is also very satisfied.
After carefully checking it a few more times and finding no holes in the middle, Wang Busheng was satisfied. There was no pattern on the floor, and there was no spelling error.
"Boss, how are you? Are you satisfied?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Fortunately, your work is not bad." Wang Bushit nodded and replied. He chose the floor himself and bought the decoration materials himself, so there was no need to cut corners.
"That's right, we are all professionals in decoration. We are responsible for our customers and we are responsible for ourselves. The boss can ask around. We have the best decoration skills in Songjiang Prefecture. We decorate dozens of houses a year, and there is no negative comment. ", the middle-aged man said proudly, while giving himself a publicity.
Reputation is very important in any industry. It is the basis for a prosperous business. If your skills are good, but your reputation is too bad, you will naturally have no customers coming to your door.
"Hahaha, I would like to congratulate you for continuing to have a prosperous business," Wang Bushit said with a smile.
"Same joy, same joy." The middle-aged man clasped his fists and bowed, and then continued, "Boss, look, our work has been done. Is it time for our wages to be paid?"
"Uh, ah. What's the salary?"
The decoration masters, Shihua, encountered a boss who didn't pay their wages again.
"Ah haha, it's true. I'm the kind of person who doesn't pay my wages. You guys, you don't have any sense of humor, so you can't joke." Then Wang Bushit looked at his wife awkwardly and said, "Sister Leng, please lend me some more money." .
Asking women for money, Wang Busheng, who has no macho ideas, is quite stress-free. After all, once you get used to it, you will get used to it. Men and women are equal, and there is no shame in eating soft food.
He was so cold that he didn't act coy or deliberately embarrass Wang Busheng. All his income was due to his father-in-law. Moreover, I have no place to spend money. My husband takes care of food and housing, and some daily necessities are guaranteed, so I have very few places to spend money. Now that my husband is in need, it is time for me to repay the favor.
Leng Bingbing stood up and asked, "How much money is there in total?" Leng Bingbing's behavior will definitely put to shame those daughters-in-law who secretly use their husband's hard-earned money to subsidize their parents' families without telling their husbands. Does this count as turning the elbow inward?
"Miss, we are a total of five workers, each one has one tael a day, and we have worked for eight days in total. Let me do the math." It is probably because education has not been popularized in the Ming Empire, so everyone's arithmetic level It's not all bad, the middle-aged man couldn't figure it out clearly even after picking at it for a long time.
Zhu Wuji, who was standing aside, couldn't bear it anymore and said, "No need to forget it, the total is forty taels."
Zhu Wuyi was with Wang Bushi. Naturally, the middle-aged man still had doubts about Zhu Wuyi. He ignored Zhu Wuyi. The middle-aged man took out a pen and paper and started using the simplest addition calculations.
Looking at Zhu Wuyi curiously, Wang Bushit asked, "Xiao Zhu, you have also learned arithmetic, including multiplication."
You must know that the development of education in the Ming Empire is still very slow. It is still the most primitive Four Books and Five Classics. With the concept of half of the Analects governing the world, it continues to study the classics left by its predecessors and write tens of millions of words for their words. In other words, although the origin of arithmetic in our country is relatively early, there are very few people who study arithmetic. After all, if you want to be an official, arithmetic is useless. Only those in business can use arithmetic, and businessmen are very unpopular as a profession. , as the young owner of the largest dog meat chain in the country, Zhu Wuyi has learned arithmetic and is not surprised. After all, it is necessary. Just this multiplication, Zhu Wuyi can tell the correct answer in one breath. Wang Budie was still surprised. People are not all trash, they also have uses. Even the stones from the cesspool can be used to fill the cesspool.
"My father hired a math teacher for me, and I also learned arithmetic. I also dabbled in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. One by one, I got one. I also memorized nine, nine and eighty-eight."
Zhu Wuyi proudly replied that he could be considered an intellectual.
"Uh, Xiao Zhu, master, let me remind you, ninety-nine should be eighty-one."
"Well, Master, you have also learned it"
"Never learned"
"Then how do you know?"
"I was born with it."
While the two were talking, the middle-aged man finally calculated his wages and came forward cheerfully, "Boss, the total is forty taels. Do you think it's cash or a banknote?"
"Nima, is there a difference between cash and banknotes? They are both currencies in circulation." Looking at Leng Bingbing, Wang Bushi licked his face and asked, "Sister Leng, do you want cash or a banknote?"
He picked up his wallet and handed it to Wang Busheng, "If you have cash or banknotes, you can do it yourself."
This is similar to the wealthy people in the 21st century who carry both cash and cards, mobile phones and tens of thousands of pocket money. Wang Bushit was very envious. Wang Bushit wouldn't mind hugging her with such thighs.
"Master, please wait a moment," Zhu Xiluo, the little master of arithmetic, spoke again. He looked at several decoration masters and said, "There seems to be some problem with the prices of these masters."
"There's a problem. How could there be a problem? We all have a good reputation in the decoration industry in Songjiang Prefecture. Our skills are superb and we are fair and honest." The middle-aged man explained hurriedly, and of course the other masters sitting on the ground No words were spoken, just eyelids twitching.
Zhu Wuyi sneered, "Exquisite skills, not necessarily so. Master is kind-hearted and doesn't want to argue with you, but you can't push for an inch and bully honest people. You can see the floor for yourself. First of all, the flatness. You can feel it with your hands." Look, the joints of each tile will have a very obvious sense of layering. This is the result of the floor not being paved. And if you look at the corners, the layers are uneven and the fit with the wall is too poor. This is also called exquisite craftsmanship."
The decoration masters were speechless. After all, what Zhu Wuyu said was true.
Seeing Zhu Wuyi's performance, Wang Busui was also shocked. This was the plate-licking person he knew. The first time he met him was in the Tianci Mountain Prison. He was engaged in art, and he even forgot to eat and sleep. The second time he met him, he was doing art. She became a foodie after meeting him for the first time, and he also knew a lot about decoration. Could it be that Xiao Zhu went to the construction site to experience life during the breakup.
Leng Bingbing, who had always had a calm expression and was indifferent even when Wang Bushit asked her for money, also had a strange color on her face. This kid's house probably didn't sell dog meat, but seemed to be engaged in decoration.
"Let's continue. You said your prices are conscientious. Well, let's do the math again. Just now you said each of you is one tael of silver a day, right? Your prices are very unreasonable. As far as I know, the craftsmen in the palace are , their skills are definitely better than yours, but their wages for private work are less than one tael a day, while each of you only needs one tael a day. Moreover, it is the Imperial City, consumption is higher, and wages are generally higher. ".
Zhu Wuyu's words were like a sword thrust into the middle-aged man's heart. I originally thought that the other party was a young man who didn't know much about the field of decoration, so he deliberately raised the price. He never thought that he would meet him today. To such a professional person, could it be that the almanac says that today is not a good day to lie?
Just listen to Zhu Wuyi continue to say, "Also, craftsmen are divided into big workers and small workers, and the prices are also different. Small workers are also handymen, and the wages are at most 80% of that of big workers. And you actually said that they are all one or two, tell me what you are doing The price is reasonable.”
"Okay, I hate people who cheat me of my money the most," Wang Busheng said angrily. If it weren't for Xiao Zhu, he would have become the bully. The injustice is acceptable. Who would be willing to take over the bully? After all, he is ugly. .
"Oh, boss, don't be angry. Business cannot be done without righteousness. Everything can be discussed." The middle-aged man hurriedly advised, "In this way, I have a fate with the boss. How about a 20% discount on the basis of forty taels? The boss is in such a bad weather. Hot, what we earn is all hard-earned money, we really can’t get any less.”
Twenty percent off means thirty-two taels. Wang Bushit looked at Zhu Wuyi. Zhu Wuyi thought for a while and nodded. Thirty-two taels. After careful calculation, one person only earns less than one tael of silver per day. As a skilled worker, this price is It's quite reasonable. It has to be said that as long as the industries related to real estate are high-income, ordinary people will not earn a tael of silver even if they carry a big bag for ten days, but they can make just one day of decoration. This shows how important it is to master a technology.
"You mean thirty-two taels"
After counting for a long time, the middle-aged man nodded, "Yes, boss, thirty-two taels."
"I don't like this number. I like eight, twenty-eight taels, no more, no less. The price is very suitable."
"Well, boss, there are eight out of thirty-eight taels."
"It's only twenty-eight taels. If you agree, I'll give you the money immediately. If you don't agree, I'll keep the account first and pay you at the end of the year."
"Well, I'll give it to you at the end of the year. It's still early at the end of the year. It's better to keep the money in your own hands and feel at ease. Twenty-eight is twenty-eight, and you can make a profit." The middle-aged man thought in his mind, "Okay, I'll see The boss is a cheerful person, so I won’t be coy and just treat it as a friend. Twenty-eight taels is twenty-eight taels.”
"Actually, I quite like Liu, too."
"Oh, boss, please give me a way to survive. The child has not eaten meat for more than half a year."
"Well, eating meat is bad, being vegetarian is healthier."
Zhu Wuji's head was full of black lines. Master's bargaining skills were not bad. He used so many excuses, gave examples and presented facts, and only lowered the price by eight taels. In the end, the master saved four taels just because of his hobbies. . The devil is as high as the Tao, and there is no limit to the shameless people.
The cold look on his face was very bad. Bargaining is normal, and it is also a necessary means to be diligent and thrifty, but it is shameful for you to act rogue. People, you can't have a bottom line. He took his wallet, counted out twenty-eight taels and handed it to the middle-aged man. people.
People who work rigorously are always full of hope for society and full of confidence in life. After the middle-aged man counted it six or seven times, he carefully stuffed the banknote into his pocket, made a bow, and took a few My colleagues fled like the plague.
"Hey, why are you running so fast, as if someone is trying to steal your money?"
Due to financial problems, everything in the backyard was kept as it was, and Liu Yujing did not shamelessly tear down the doors and windows. Naturally, the house that was more than ten years old was not good enough to be taken away, but it was okay to make do with it.
Looking at the perfect shop, Wang Busheng couldn't help but feel happy, and unconsciously put his hand on Leng Bing's shoulder, "We will have a home in the future."
Unexpectedly, I struggled for most of my life to buy a house in the 21st century, and became a homeowner in just a few months in the Ming Empire. And it's still a shop, so I really should celebrate.
Leng Bingbing unconsciously leaned on Wang Bu's shoulder. A wandering person would never have a home. Until he met Wang Bu's death, he would have a home, and he would have a home.
"Yes, we have a home", just like all the young men and women who bought a house with full payment and got the real estate certificate. The joy in my heart could not be greater.
Of course, warmth is short-lived. It comes and goes quickly. Zhu Wuyu said, "Master, your home is a bit too broken."
