Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 149 "Exposed"

The days rolled forward like tumbleweeds, and in a blink of an eye it was the end of the month.

Nearly half of the city's large and small businesses are public-private joint ventures, and the results are gratifying.

Xu Deyong did not take Xu Huizhen back to her parents' home. Firstly, the tavern was busy, and secondly, because the tavern was a pilot project and there were many seminars.

In the courtyard, Xu Deyong was busy, surrounded by young spectators.

The briquettes at home were about the same, so Xu Deyong used a cart to bring the pulverized coal and yellow mud, mixed them in a ratio of 8:2-7:3, then added water and stirred evenly.

Then take out the briquette mold you bought earlier. After compacting the coal, press down lightly with your thumbs.

"Wave."

A formed wet briquette fell to the ground.

"Wow……."

"So this is how briquettes are made...!"

"Brother Deyong is so awesome!"

……

Seeing this, all the young men in the courtyard exclaimed and worshiped one after another.

Xu Deyong couldn't help but touch his nose. It's so strange to see such a simple thing... Why are you still a little proud?

Ahem, don’t get lost, work hard.

Xiaobangge ran over curiously, stuck out his little butt and poked the freshly baked briquettes with his little finger.

Qin Huairu on the side also saw the eyes full of light, and when she saw this, she quickly said: "Banggan, don't move."

Then he couldn't help but said: "Deyong, can it be burned like this?"

Xu Deyong kept working in his hands and smiled and said: "Well, it can be burned after it is dried."

Jia Dongxu sat on the side and squinted in the sun and said with a hint of envy: "Deyong, you know a lot of things."

Xu Deyong said: "Ask more and read more. Coal shops occasionally make briquettes, but not much."

Jia Dongxu thought so. Xu Deyong didn't create it. Did he learn from others?

Aunts and aunts from the courtyard also came to watch the fun, and even those who had never seen it before were amazed.

The third aunt blinked her eyes and calculated: "Hey, making briquettes by yourself can save money, and burning it can also save coal. That's quite cost-effective. No, when Lao Yan comes back, I have to let him make a briquette stove."

Others also did the math, and indeed, many people were tempted by the fact that they could save money on the stove in just a few months.

The third aunt smiled and said: "Deyong, Lao Yan will make the stove later, but you have to lend me this mold for home use first."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Sure, just use it."

The third aunt smiled with satisfaction and said: "Jiefang, Jie Kuang, please learn more from your brother Yong."

Yan Jiecheng Fangzao saw that his heart was itching, and he immediately said: "Brother Deyong, let me give it a try too."

"Brother Deyong, let me come." Liu Guangfu also said.

"Brother Deyong, I'll come, I'll come."

……

A group of boys regarded it as something fun and participated enthusiastically.

The second aunt also smiled and said: "Guangtian and Guangfu are easy to follow. When the weekend comes, let your dad buy coal powder and yellow mud to make briquettes. We can also borrow the molds when the time comes."

It’s normal for one mold to be used by the entire hospital, so it’s worth saving a little!

In the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong both burned briquettes and said they were good, and other families were also excited.

Today, Xu Deyong demonstrates homemade briquettes on the spot and takes action directly from his heart.

Save yourself the trouble and save money, of course choose wisely!

Several people on the spot said they would borrow it later.

Xu Deyong could only agree to them all, but if he refused anyone, he would be stabbed in the spine...

……

In the tavern, the end-of-month inventory was being carried out. Accountant Zhao Yali and cashier Kong Yuqin did the calculations and found out that the tavern was still losing money after excluding dividends and employee wages.

Fan Jinyou frowned and said, "Isn't it possible? Did you make a mistake in your calculation?"

Zhao Yali said angrily: "The calculation is correct. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."

Fan Jinyou rolled his eyes and said: "Xu Huizhen can't pay her full salary. Look at how many days she has been late and early and left this month. We are a public-private partnership and have to follow the rules."

Zhao Yali looked at it and said, "According to this calculation, Xu Huizhen won't get a penny of salary, and she will still be owed."

Fan Jin said with a businesslike look: "Then just follow the rules. Without rules, there would be nothing."

At this time, Xu Huizhen came in. She didn't hear what she just said and said with a smile: "I'm thinking that it's somewhat inappropriate for Chef Ma to do all the purchasing and shipping by himself..."

Fan Jinyou blinked and interrupted her: "Don't talk about him first, let's talk about yours first. You have been late and left too many early this month. Even if your salary is fully deducted, it won't be enough." Xu Huizhen's smile faded. Xingyan narrowed slightly and said: "You mean to deduct my dividends!"

"It should be!" Fan Jin nodded a little, and then took out a small notebook, which contained various questions he remembered about Xu Huizhen, "Why do customers charge more for breaking plates? Niulanshan drinks and earns the difference..." ”, in short, it’s just a bunch of fault-finding looking for trouble.

Xu Huizhen said speechlessly: "I don't work to get dividends. Not only do I get no wages but I also deduct dividends? Okay, you have a reason to deduct wages this month. I will quit next month. If I miss a cent of dividends, you all will give it to me." Get lost."

After that, he threw away the rag and walked away angrily.

"Hey, you still dare to hit me, what's your attitude?" Fan Jin said with a serious expression.

Then he thought about it and said to Zhao Yali: "Well... everyone's salary still needs to be paid, her dividends... Give her an advance first, don't let her go to the streets to cause trouble and make people laugh."

As he said that, he stood up and said: "We have been running so late this month. If we keep going like this these days, not only can we pay full wages, but we can also turn over profits. It is not impossible to get a longer salary."

Zhao Yali said: "This is the right way. Xu Hui is really a capitalist. We are the working class. We cannot be at her mercy."

Kong Yuqin grinned and said, "We...are we trying to burn bridges by crossing the river?"

Fan Jinyou glared and said: "Why, you want to join in the same trap with Xu Huizhen. She has not only financial problems now, but also style problems. We must not tolerate it."

After saying that, he sat down and showed off his contentment.

He has learned the business methods, and he can still manage without Xu Huizhen. As long as the business is good, the street will definitely support him, and Xu Huizhen will have to surrender to him.

Zhao Yali and Kong Yuqin lowered their heads and gossiped about what happened that day...

……

The next day, Xu Deyong came to He Gangzi's "maintenance base", and Jin Gangzi was also there.

"Master Yong, you are here." Gangzi said with a shiny face.

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "It seems that you are doing well recently!"

Gangzi smiled and said, "Thank you."

"Did you get the stuff?" Xu Deyong nodded.

"I got it." Gangzi said.

Next to him, Zhang San took two bearings made of thick steel bars and four small wheels the size of volleyballs.

Xu Deyong took it and installed it under the finished bamboo cart, which is a complete baby bamboo stroller.

Seeing this, Gangzi admired him and said: "Master Yong, your craftsmanship is really incredible. A brand new bamboo cart like this in the store costs 20 yuan, which means the bearings and wheels are not easy to fix. Otherwise, how many times would we make it in a year?" Ten of them, a few dollars less each, is enough for us to eat and drink."

Xu Deyong said: "Don't think about that. This thing is not as easy to sell as you think. Just make one or two occasionally to get some pocket money. I also made two over there. You can figure it out yourself."

Gangzi nodded and said, "Okay, leave it to me, and I'll look for it through other channels."

Xu Deyong nodded, put the bamboo cart in the car and left.

He rode to Xu Huizhen Courtyard and knocked on the door. After a while, Xu Huizhen opened the door and saw the bamboo cart in his hand, and said in surprise: "It's done!"

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Well, look, it's not worse than what's sold in the store."

Xu Huizhen pushed it and said happily: "It's really good. It's better than the ones sold in stores. In a month or two, Xiaoli'er can sit in it and push it out."

Seeing Xu Deyong still looking at her with a smile, she pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, come in and sit down, I'll get you money."

Xu Deyong said: "What I do is not for money."

Xu Huizhen twisted her waist and turned around and said, "You have to give even if you don't do it."

Xu Deyong smiled and walked into the yard to sit down. After taking a look, he found that there seemed to be two bamboo deck chairs missing. It seemed that he would take the time to make a few more when he went back.

Xu Huizhen came out of the room, and handed the money to him with Bai Shengsheng's little hand, and said kindly: "It's only fifteen, not more!"

Xu Deyong didn't refuse, and accepted it generously: "Oh, I've made a lot of money today. I don't have to work anymore. Let's go home and rest."

"Hey!" Xu Huizhen called him, "Take us two back to Niulan Mountain tomorrow."

Xu Deyong raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you free?"

Xu Huizhen sat down, holding her chin and looking at the carefree little Li'er in the small wooden bed. She sighed and said, "Fan Jinyou wants to deduct my salary and dividends. I'm angry and quit."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Stop pretending, it's all under your control. You have a way to get food stamps, but Fan Jin doesn't."

"Hehe." Xu Hui smiled in a rare girlish way and said: "Me neither, it's all because of my brother. Anyway, I will go back to my parents' house tomorrow no matter what. You can look after me for a while, and I'll ride you." I want to thank my brother properly when I go shopping, but it’s a pity that I can’t drink yet, otherwise I will drink you all down.”

Xu Deyong raised his hand and said, "I surrender. You grew up in a wine cellar and are known as 'drinking all the time'."

"Haha..." Xu Huizhen said with a smile: "You all know this, my brother told you, right? I'm leaving, we will set off tomorrow morning..."

"My bike is a bit big, can you ride it?"

"Who are you looking down on? I ride so well..."
