There was no farewell or goodbye, and Liu Jinyan didn't seem to appear in Liang Chuan's life. The only trace was that the two IOUs that Liang Chuan only dared to collect and never dared to come to withdraw cash. Although the two IOUs were too attractive, Liang Chuan was making up for them. The wall was hollowed out behind the cabinet to hide the IOU, which should never be used.
As luck would have it, Liangchuan caused a lot of commotion over fishing. Now the entire Qingyuan County and even several surrounding counties. Anyway, the Wanda Cargo Store in Quanzhou Prefecture has become quite famous. There are not many people who can go to the state prison and come back intact. It is said that the Wu family and the Pu family were severely beaten after entering.
However, there is also a bright side to this farce. Wanda Commercial Bank's owners and products have made a name for themselves.
Nowadays, everyone knows that the fish hooks and fishing gear in the store are useful, and many shops in the city also come to wholesale. In the past, the goods were stored in the store and sold slowly, but now they make orders. Before He Baozheng's ox cart arrived, the goods were sold out. It was booked out first.
No one was too surprised by this phenomenon or couldn't accept it for a while. The lives of everyone in Liangchuan have undergone earth-shaking changes. It is normal for the days to change. If it remains the same, then they really can't accept it.
Liang Chuan also calmed down a lot after this accident. He learned a lot from the pain in those days in prison. Although he also thought that as long as he could survive, he would no longer be involved in the world and return to Fengshan to live a peaceful life.
As soon as my thoughts came out, I immediately changed my mind. I thought about it and I still need to have a stronger foundation. Otherwise, I will not be able to resist the crises that I will face in the future. The social resources controlled by the powerful people in this era are too terrible, and the lives of the poor are like Damn it, it's not a pity to die.
It is difficult to have power, so you can only make money desperately. Even wealthy children like Sun Houpu who have countless wealth are worried about money, let alone ordinary people like me.
The boy Zhaodi seems to be different recently. In the past, he always looked dull. Except when he was eating, he was always looking forward with dull eyes. I don't know what he was thinking in his mind.
Now Zhaodi seems to have endless things to do every day. Before, when he was injured, he had to spend a lot of time and effort, cooking medicine, carrying heavy objects, etc. He didn't need to be called to get there on his own. After he was able to get off the ground, the boy was still busy, but he was more energetic than before and his body was much stronger. Liang Chuan took a closer look and saw that there were a lot of calluses on Zhaodi's palms.
In fact, there is nothing in the store that requires the help of a younger brother. Aunt Zhao can take care of five younger brothers by cleaning, setting up fires, and cooking. If not, there is Shen Yuzhen, and Su Wei is there for inventory, accounting, and everything can be arranged appropriately. . Zhaodi sometimes feels more like a redundant person in the store.
After lunch, Zhaodi met Liang Chuan and said, "Third brother, I'm going out for a while."
Even before Shen Yuzhen had put away the dishes and chopsticks neatly at the table, this boy was running out again. He had not taken care of this boy a few days ago, but now he has gone wild and is nowhere to be found all day long.
Liang Chuan coughed and asked, "Everyone is eating now, where are you going?"
Zhaodi smiled honestly and said, "No, her family has eaten early and has finished their work long ago."
Liang Chuan knew this and asked, "Whose family is it?"
Zhaodi's face turned red as he brushed the floor, and he replied: "Third brother, you know all about it but you still ask me, except... who else is there besides Miss Fang's family?"
"You run to other people's houses every day and eat a lot of their food. Be careful if they get tired of it and kick you out and won't let you go!"
Zhaodi was an honest man after all, and he immediately confessed: "There's no point in getting free money. I'm working as an apprentice for Uncle Fang every day now. Look!" Zhaodi raised his hand and shook the callus on his hand towards Liang Chuan. shake.
"Look, this is all made by swinging a sledgehammer and pulling a bellows. It's enough for several meals!"
Liang Chuan hated that iron could not become steel, so he raised his hand and hit Zhaodi on the head: "I asked you to go to his house to do some work. I asked you to kidnap his daughter back! I beat the iron man every day until he was stunned!"
Zhaodi hurriedly hid for a moment and just stood there laughing non-stop.
"Actually... Actually, I have already... grabbed Miss Fang's hand." Zhao Di was like a victorious general showing off his unparalleled martial arts, and he said it with a proud look.
When Liang Chuan heard this, he became even more angry and kicked him: "Still holding hands, grandma, a normal person will have a baby now, and the baby can help you two!"
Zhaodi said: "That's not that fast, it's faster, Third Brother!"
"I haven't been to Lao Fang for a few days, so I'll go with you today." As the actual owner of Fang's blacksmith shop, I haven't visited it in a few days, and I don't know how it is running now.
"By the way, I ate Wu Xiangzhai's Bingsu Pancake a few days ago. It tasted very good. The little girl will definitely like it. You go and buy some. We can't go there empty-handed." Liang Chuan said casually.
Unexpectedly, Zhaodi retorted: "I often buy her food from that place, she's tired of it!"
Not to mention it was okay, but when Liang Chuan was mentioned, he felt an indescribable sense of betrayal. He looked at Zhaodi with hatred. In the past, if this boy had any good things, he would always think of himself and Yi Niang first. Now, the new guy is better than the old one, and he When she was sick, Yuzhen bought some for herself to try. Oh my God, both of these guys were tired of it!
When Brother Zhao saw that Liang Chuan's face was as dark as ink, he knew that he had irritated his sensitive nerves again, so he ran away quickly.
It turns out that the two fathers and daughters of the Fang family earned their own money through hard work. After a serious illness, the shop almost fell into the hands of others. After arriving, Liang Chuan paid for the Fang family's father and daughter to sell the shop. They agreed on a 50-50 split. It seemed that the Fang family and his daughter would work for Liang Chuan from now on. However, after a few months of careful calculation, besides himself, It turns out that the knives, scissors, hoes, and iron hooks and needles designed by Liang Chuan are really in hot demand.
The shop now has three apprentices, and the apprentices often come over to help. They can make nearly nine hundred needles a day. Regardless of whether a needle is sold or not, Wanda Store will pay according to the quantity. Calculating the net profit of fifty cents, if you divide it half and half, you can get a bonus of nearly seventy cents at the end of each month. Seventy knives, just this little needle and hook, the old man has never made money so happily in his whole life.
Of course, plus the money spent on making other iron tools, Liang Chuan, a small shop, can make hundreds of dollars a month without doing anything.
Back then, the thirty guan of medicine money had to be borrowed from loan sharks, and it became 300 guan if we couldn't pay it back with interest. It almost killed me and Wan'er. Now, I can almost reach this amount after saving up. . You can really sell these needles and hooks as much as you have. If the business is so good, even if it is a 50% bonus, Wanda Cargo Store will give it to me every month when the accounts are settled. I feel blushing even if I accept the money. Why? It's a shame. This craftsmanship was mainly provided by Liang Chuan. He is fully capable of doing it himself, so do he still need to give himself such money?
Liang Chuan came to the door with a pot of rice wine and a roast goose. The yard was empty. As soon as he entered the house, a wave of heat hit his face. The air was a little blurry with mist, and the light was a little distorted. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the temperature in the blacksmith shop was getting higher and higher. Before I sat down, my face was flushed, and after a while, fine beads of sweat started to appear.
"Sanlang, are you okay?" Fang Tianding watched Liang Chuan being beaten several times a few days ago, and he didn't dare to look directly at him. This kind of inhuman crime can kill people if beaten hard.
"Very good, Miss Fang, please clean up this goose, and your father and I will have a drink." Liang Chuan handed the things over.
"Tietou, look at the fire, Tiedan, keep the fire going. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, although I am your master, this is the owner of our shop. Come on, say hello. !" Fang Tianding lectured to his two disciples.
"Hello, boss!" The two of them shouted to Liang Chuan in unison.
"You guys keep doing it, don't be lazy!" After saying that, he smiled at Liang Chuan: "There is also a young apprentice. I ordered him to buy some iron materials. Thanks to the way you gave me, Sanlang, it was easy to walk. I took two more steps, thinking This scale can be larger, but by chance, these apprentices’ families were in a poor situation and they didn’t have enough to eat, so they came to me and wanted to learn a craft to make a living.”
Fang Wan chopped up the roast goose and brought it up, and then withdrew in a tacit understanding, saying, "Dad, I will go outside to see if there are any vegetables and pick some more, and fry another plate for you."
There was no food down there, so I asked my younger brother, a stunned young man, to have it. Liang Chuan and Fang Tianding had a tacit understanding, looked at each other with a helpless smile, and started eating with their chopsticks.
"These three apprentices are honest and hard-working. Those who are not honest and hard-working in our industry cannot survive a day!" Fang Tianding sighed with relief.
Liang Chuan poured two more bowls of wine and said loudly: "Brothers, come over and have a bowl to quench your thirst."
The two apprentices' throats were hunched, not daring to be presumptuous. They glanced at Fang Tianding, who scolded: "My boss invited you to drink and you gave me back?"
After Fang Tianding's words, the two people immediately got up, laughed and rushed over to drink a bowl each.
In the past, wine was a rare item, even rarer than drinking Maotai. People who did a lot of strenuous work preferred to drink a little wine to relieve fatigue.
While the two were drinking, the door suddenly opened, and a little old man walked in. He looked similar to Fang Tianding. His hands were also covered with calluses, his beard and hair were all white, and his face was so folded that he could draw a map.
Liang Chuan actually knew this old man. He was the owner of Lu Yi Carpentry Shop and the master carpenter Lu Gu. Most of the Ziban boards and wood that Bi Zhaosheng wanted were bought from him. Later, Liang Chuan got in touch with Lu Gu. The small horse traps used for fishing were made by them, and he only made a profit from the dealer's price difference.
"What brought you here, Lao Lutou?" Fang Tianding joked as he was an old acquaintance.
