Su Yu did not go to the shop the next day and asked Wang Guan to go with Cao Zhi and Wu Lang.
"Uncle Wang, a big customer is coming to the shop and it's too late to move the goods. Don't worry about money. Find a couple of laborers on the street to help."
"Yes, girl."
If you encounter someone coming to the shop to cause trouble, just say that this is Yu Zheng's property and ask them to go talk to Yu Zheng.
"Yes, girl."
Although he put aside the marriage proposal, Su Yu still resented Yu Zheng in his heart. He would blame Yu Zheng for everything, but Su Yu had no psychological burden at all.
After Wang Kuan was told, Su Yu looked at Wu Lang who was standing aside. Although he and Yin Jian had been at Su's house for a long time, they talked very little. At home, they only practiced martial arts and worked. When talking to others, Su Yu felt that people who practiced martial arts were a bit aloof, but that was understandable.
"Wu Lang, when you are not busy at the shop today, go and find out what happened to Mrs. Huang that Li Mu mentioned. There is no rush in this matter, just take your time and check it out."
"Yes, girl."
After the explanation, the three of them got on the carriage and went to the shop, while Su Yu went to the workshop. Since there was a lot of lard now, there was also a lot of soap at home. When he first opened the business, he was thinking about business. It must be very busy, so Soap thought about waiting for two days before putting it in the shop for sale. Soap is a consumable item, and no matter how many Su Yus there are, it is not afraid of not being able to sell it. At worst, it will be like wholesale like in Xinglin Town.
Su Lao Er went to discuss with two butchers about adding five pigs every day. Both families were happy and worried. The worry was that the Su family wanted a large quantity. Where could they get so many pigs? The pigs in the nearby villages were as long as The two of them had collected everything they could kill, and if there were more, they would search further afield. However, thinking of the money they earned from the Su family, they gritted their teeth and agreed. At worst, they would go back and find people they knew well in the village. Go to far away places to collect pigs.
The existing workers in the workshop are all familiar with the work, so Su Yu doesn't need to worry about it. She plans to make molds with patterns, try to add some spices to improve the quality, and make soaps to sell. There are a lot of rich and famous people in Kyoto. If the formula is slightly changed, the price of the soap will be doubled several times. Su Yu thinks this business is a good deal.
After seeing it, Su Yu went home. As soon as he returned, he saw his father chopping firewood in the backyard.
"Dad, don't chop the firewood yet. I have something I need your help with."
His daughter needed his help. Su Laoer was so affectionate that he quickly put down the ax in his hand and wiped his sweat with the towel around his neck. After he came to Kyoto City, he found that his daughter seemed to need him less and less. Su Laoer would not be happy if he needed his help now.
"Daughter, what do you want to do?"
"Dad, I want some molds. See if you can make them."
Su Yu said and handed over the paper in his hand. Su Laoer took it and took a look. On it were several new molds for making soap, some were round and oval, and the last three had patterns printed on them.
"Daughter, I can do the first three without any flowers. I'm afraid I can't do the ones with patterns on the back."
Su Yu thought about it. This was a bit too difficult for her father. Her father was a bamboo craftsman. He could do simple wood work, but his father had never learned anything too complicated.
"I'll go find Uncle Qianzhang and ask him to help."
"Dad, let's go to the pig farm with you."
The father and daughter went out together and first went to Jin Qianzhang's house. At this time, Jin Qianzhang was planing wood at home. Seeing the father and daughter coming together, they were still a little confused. Why did they come here together?
"Brother Qianzhang, I'm busy."
"What are you busy with? If you are not messing around, why are Mr. Su and Miss Su here?"
"Uncle Qianzhang, I have something here that I would like you to make for me. See if you can do it."
Su Yu handed over the drawings.
Jin Qianzhang took it and saw that they were all small items.
"Yes, yes, when will Miss Su want it?"
"You can make a hundred of each of the first six for me, and you can make me the last one when you have time. I will give you as many as I want."
Jin Qianzhang was shocked when he heard that he wanted so much. How much would it take?
"The first three without any tricks are easy to make. I will give you five cents for each. The last three with tricks will give you ten cents each. The latter one is even simpler. I will give you two cents for each. Uncle Qianzhang thinks feasible?"
He didn't quote Su Yu's price randomly. He set it after inquiring about the price of carpenters in Kyoto City.
Jin Qianzhang used to help the villagers make two stools for this family and a table for that family. When he was young, he only served as an apprentice for two years, and he did not learn the craftsmanship. Therefore, the life of the people in Jinjia Village was just like before. You have to be tight, and you would only ask him to do it if you don’t have any extra money. People in other villages don’t want to ask him to do it. After hearing Su Yu’s words, it’s okay. Money or not is one thing. This is why Miss Su asked him to do it. If you think highly of him, he will definitely take care of this matter.
"Okay, why not? Just pay this price. Don't worry, Miss Su. I will make one of each and send it to you to see. I will take over the job after it is completed. Don't delay your business. Is there anything wrong with the materials? Fastidious?"
"The first six items don't matter, any wood will do. It's best to use the same kind of wood for the last six items. You can use any kind of wood."
After discussing the price, Su Yu took out two taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Jin Qianzhang.
"Uncle Qianzhang, take it first. This is the deposit. I believe in your craftsmanship."
Jin Qianzhang was not polite and took the silver and put it directly into his arms.
After the negotiation was settled, the father and daughter went to the pig farm. They hadn't been to the pig farm for a while, and the piglets in the pig farm had grown up a lot.
"Master Su, Miss Su."
"You two should be busy, but if you are too busy, I will ask the village chief to recruit someone."
"Don't worry, Miss Su, the two of us can still handle this little work."
"Okay, if you are too busy, remember to tell me, or the village chief for the same thing."
The two of them thought that with such a small job, how could they be too busy? Each person would pay one tael of silver every month. If they hired another person, would they share some of their monthly money with that person?
If we were to raise pigs in the past, going to the mountains to collect pig grass, plus feeding and cleaning, we would be very tired. But Su Yuyu's design is reasonable. There is a pig feed cart, so you don't need to use much force to push the pigs. At the entrance of the pen, the water for washing the pens is also discharged directly to each pig pen through bamboo pipes, and it does not take much time to clean it. The truck that cleans manure is the same as the truck that pulls pig food. It doesn't require much force. This job is much easier than carrying big bags at the dock. Old Jin also went to the dock to carry big bags when he was young. It's so useful. It's all exhaustion, that's what it means to be really tired.
When the father and daughter returned to the pig farm, Wu's voice came from outside.
"Master, girl, we have a guest at home!"
