Chapter 166 The girl is a bridge
Hundreds of people whispered to each other, and the entire meeting hall was like a giant beehive, buzzing non-stop.

The seven or eight people sitting on the stage watched calmly, letting them complain without stopping.

A sturdy young man in a brown padded jacket stood up and raised his right hand, bowed his head and said a few words to the young daughter-in-law next to him. Seeing her encouragement smile, he stood up straight and waved vigorously to the people on the stage with an excited expression.

Shu Yingtong's eyes fell on him, Zheng Dachun who was working in a brick kiln.

He grabbed the wooden paperweight and patted it on the table a few times. When the crowd gradually quieted down, he raised his hand to signal that he could speak.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes glanced over, Zheng Dachun was a little flustered, collected himself, and mustered up the courage to ask loudly: "Girl, I want to ask what is the contract?"

Zheng Dachun has grandparents, and younger brothers and sisters, and he has just been married for a little over a year.

Each household in the village is only divided into one big room, which cannot be opened at all.After discussing with the family, he separated from his wife and brought his grandparents to live with his wife.

The family is not separated, and the family asks the young couple to come here to discuss matters.

He learned the skill of burning bricks with Wu Xingfa in the brick kiln, and he was very excited when he heard the news just now.I told my daughter-in-law that the brick kiln has a bright future, and there will always be hundreds of households in the village who want to build yards.

As for money, everyone is very poor, the girl must have thought about it, otherwise she wouldn't have brought it up.

Shu Yingtong motioned for him to sit down, and tapped on the table to remind everyone to be quiet.

"For example, brick kiln, you can burn bricks for business, but you have no right to sell the brick kiln to others. The contract is signed for five years, and it can be renewed or discarded after it expires. The first phase of the contract can be in arrears, and the owed money should be settled before the twelfth lunar month of next year. "

There are many people working in brick kilns, but few want to contract them.Now everyone can’t hear the sound of two copper plates at home. Who has the money to build a brick house?

Besides, there are houses to live in for the time being, and there is no profit in brick kilns. It is better to open up two acres of land and grow some crops that are not picky.

"Girl, my family wants to contract a brick kiln! How much is it a year? I owe it!" Zheng Dachun saw that no one was robbing him, so he specifically asked his master Wu Xingfa, and was overjoyed to see him waving his hand away.

Wu Xing has had a kiln fever for more than ten years, and he is a worker for other people, so he knows the way inside very well.

Among other things, the owner changed five or six.There are those who are squeezed by their peers because they are doing their jobs, and there are also those who offend the foreman and turn the brick kiln into yellow.

He was very apprehensive about doing business, thinking that now that he had his own land, and Wu Dachun could revive the kiln, he would go to work for him.

"Bidding system, the base price is one tael per year. Since no one is bidding with you, go and sign the contract." Shu Yingtong pointed to Wei Dafu's position.

Wei Dafu studied village school for two years when he was young, but later his family couldn't afford to learn bamboo craftsman's work, and he worked as a farmer for most of his life.

Because of his strong organizational skills and sophisticated handling of affairs, he was promoted by Shu Yingtong as the second in command.He came forward to organize and dispatch many things in the village, and the more reason was that Shu Yingtong deliberately threw out his work.

I don't have so much free time to deal with the household chores that the villagers keep talking about.

After Wei Dafu came to Huanshan Village, he picked up reading and calligraphy again. He was talented in reading drawings, but he couldn't read all the annotations, so he had to continue learning.

"Big spring~ Wei Shuchou said ahead, this brick kiln is counting on the village, and there is no hope for a while~ The contract can't be changed after the fingerprint is pressed. No matter whether you earn money or not, the debt of five taels of silver can be repaid. up..."

Wei Dafu spoke loudly on purpose, and many villagers down there began to worry about Zheng Dachun when they heard the five taels of silver.There are also those who are waiting to see the good show. Anyway, it is not their own family that owes the debt, and it is right for others to have a bad life.

"Uncle, it's all right." Zheng Dachun grinned, "I'll go out for a run when spring starts. If I run to the foreman's house more, I can always get some work."

Shu Yingtong quickly wrote a letter after he said he wanted to contract the brick kiln, dried the ink, folded it and handed it to Zheng Dachun.

"You don't need to wait for spring, find time to go to the county government office and deliver the letter to Mr. An. His subordinates know the whole Yuan County better than you, so I will save you trouble by making a list."

"Okay, thank you girl!" Zheng Dachun was so happy that he didn't know what to say, he kept saying thank you.

I am not familiar with the place here, let alone ask how long it will take for the foremen to live.Even if he was asked, it was still a question of whether people would let him in.

Originally, I planned to be cheeky enough to catch up with one or the other, but now a letter from the girl has become much easier to handle.

Not only do you not need to waste time to inquire, but you can also borrow Mr. An's name when you visit the door.
"Next, porcelain kiln." Shu Yingtong patted the paperweight.

"Me! One tael!" Song Jiaming raised his hand and shouted the price.

"One tael, one penny!" A woman in a flowered jacket stood up and shouted the price. Seeing everyone laughing at her, she glared sharply, "Why! A penny is not money!"

Shu Yingtong pinched the center of her brows with a headache, forgot about it, and stretched out her palm, "Add five hundred cash."

You give me a piece of paper, shouting until dawn.

The woman in the flower jacket giggled, "Five hundred Wen is only five hundred Wen, I will give you one or two half!"

"Guan Liuniang, why do you want that porcelain kiln? You are not as skilled as Uncle Song."

Someone made a fuss, and she immediately lowered her face, "Go~ Who can say it's not as good, I'm a master chef, my man is very skilled!"

I have nothing else to be proud of, but I have a good ear. Just now she heard it for real. The brick kiln can't get work, and the girl has built a bridge!

"Do you know how to do business? Just put your arms around your upper body, and you can't even count with your fingers. At that time, you will have to run the shop by yourself. Do you have that spare time?"

Guan Liuniang's mouth is Liai, who takes advantage of small things and is stingy. Many women in the village don't deal with her, and no one wants her to take over the porcelain kiln.

An enemy's enemy is a friend. Compared with her, the four members of the Song family are much more pleasing to the eye.

"Two taels!" Song Jiaming stood up, quoted the price loudly, and then sat down, taking a peek at Dani's face.

The two came early, so I deliberately chose the seat next to her.They worked together during the day and never went through the door at night, so it would be nice to stay a little longer.

"There are so many people, look what I am doing..." Dani pinched her fingers, her head drooping.

Song Jiaming laughed happily, and obediently turned his head to look ahead.

Guan Liuniang clenched her lower lip and frowned. What others said was not unreasonable.But the new porcelain from that porcelain kiln is so beautiful, it should be easy to sell...

Seeing the hesitant expression of his man, and thinking of the girl helping Zheng Dachun, he was so upset that he made a bet!

"Two two five!"

Now it was Song Jiaming's turn to be in trouble, and if he shouted again, he would have to pay two or three times.Even if we don't hire workers, next year we will have to repay 15 taels just for the contract, not to mention that we have to buy the porcelain clay from the village and various consumables.

When he grew up, his family didn't even save ten taels, so he had to earn dozens of taels this year...

Dani looked at the back of Zhu Yu's head in front of her, and she came here to raise her mouth before she came.The girl asked her to give Mrs. An a set of tea sets. Wouldn't it attract people's attention when inviting people to drink tea?

The meaning is very clear, good things don't worry about word of mouth, and business will automatically come to your door.

He stretched out his hand and secretly pulled Song Jiaming's sleeve, waiting for him to look at her hand, silently raised three fingers.

Song Jiaming hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and got up, "I'll pay you two or three, and I don't need any more!"

Before Guan Liuniang could figure out why, her man tugged at her sleeve, and said in a low voice with a sad face, "Liu Niang, don't hold back, our family...can't bear this debt..."
