Chapter 138

Seeing Pei Yaoqing, Li Yisi was not surprised, and smiled and asked, “Ming Mansion?”

“Brother Yi, don’t come here unharmed.” Pei Yaoqing gave an answer.

Li Yi understood, he didn’t need to do business, and said, “Brother Pei has free time today, it just happens to be near noon, let’s eat and talk.”

“Good!” Pei Yaoqing smiled and nodded, and introduced his colleagues sideways: “This is Fan Xiancheng.”

“It was actually Fan Shao’s mansion who came to the door, so he was a little negligent.” Li Yi cupped fist.

Fan Ai was still thinking about a series of things that had just happened, and he was stunned before he reacted, “It’s really a teenager.”

“Shaofu praised it.” Li Yi was humble.

He didn’t know what Pei Yaoqing meant when he brought a county prime minister.

I’ve heard of Fan Ai’s name. The shopkeeper Yu was looking for Fan Ai to play in Pingkangfang that day, and then a group of people left the shopkeeper Yu and ran away.

As a result, the shopkeeper fell down early the next morning and was sent to Zhuangzi for rescue.

Fan Ai saw this legendary young proprietor for the first time, thinking about each story, and could not help but look carefully.

This boy looks more delicate, but he doesn’t feel weak.

There was a sense of indifference in the clear eyes, and there was nothing to make him confused.

“Brother Yi, what are you eating today?” Pei Yaoqing didn’t want to stand all the time.

“Kill pig dishes!” Li Yi said three words.

It was indeed a pig dish, entertained the workers, and killed a few extra pigs.

Then there were more blood sausages, and it happened that the people from the yamen helped to eat.

A group of people went to the cafeteria, and the officials were familiar with it. They heard that there were pig-killing vegetables to eat, and they found a place after smelling it.

A few people in a small pot, get a little garlic sauce, relax and eat.

“Brother Yi, if it wasn’t for my brother to come here today, I don’t know that you have made a new object again. If you have something useful in the future, you have to take the initiative to take it out.” Pei Yaoqing complained.

Li Yi thought for a while and nodded: “It is true that more people should know what prevents slippery shoes, but the iron used in ice drilling tools is better, and I am afraid it cannot be promoted.”

“Don’t be afraid, I will have ice lanterns next year, not to mention that the wealthy households have stored a lot of ice this year, and they will feel comfortable next summer, and they will definitely need to store more in winter.”

Pei Yaoqing views the problem from a development perspective.

Fan Ai was a little anxious next to him. He waited for someone to come over to ask the craftsman, how did he get involved in making things?

He coughed next to him, reminding Pei Yaoqing to talk about the key issue.

So Pei Yaoqing continued to complain: “Brother Yi, you are recruiting beforehand, but you can make me feel bad as a brother!”

Li Yi blinked and seemed to be asking: What are you talking about? I’m looking for someone to have a relationship with you?

“This is the case with Li Dongzhu.” Fan Ai explained: “Changan recruits workers at various levels.

With a word of him, Li Yi understood, that’s how it was.

However, the wages of the excellent ones you gave were too low, and only five feet of silk was given to them for a day of ice sculpture.

The tune in Zuyong tune is to let people work for free.

When hiring people on weekdays, take these three feet as a day’s wages.

In the winter, find someone to carve ice, five-foot silk, how can you negotiate the price?

If I give ten feet, I will snatch your people? I still serve food.

I think so, but things have to be resolved.

“Shaofu, but the good craftsmen are leaving, and the worse ones are waiting?” Li Yi asked.

“Yes, several have already come to you.” Fan Ai was helpless.

“Easy to handle, raise the price.” Li Yi said casually.

He picked up a blood sausage, dipped it in garlic sauce and stuffed it in his mouth.

Pei Yaoqing said: “The price is high this year, wouldn’t it be impossible to lower it next year?”

“Why do you want to go down? The ice sculptures and ice lanterns were successful this year, and those who sponsored the money found the benefits. Next year, more people will have to pay.”

Li Yi gave another set of reasons, the ice lantern is so beautiful, and there is no curfew.

This is called promoting economic development, but it is a pity that business taxes are confiscated, otherwise you can earn more.

However, it is not bad for the rich to pay and the workers to make money.

In the winter, people go out for a stroll and look at the beautiful ice lanterns, which can ease their emotions.

Pei Yaoqing and Fan Ai looked at each other and found it reasonable, but…

“Brother Yi, pay more money, the expert will come to you, the city is too late for work.” Pei Yaoqing said the key to the problem.

“The craftsman in my Zhuangzi has already led his apprentice. When doing carpentry work, the apprentice will do the first processing, and then the craftsman will start it.”

Li Yi gave a solution at will.

“Yeah, Huanzhi, let the craftsmen who were eliminated before do the work in front of the ice sculpture and be able to do fine work.”



Fan Ai’s mood improved instantly. It was simple, and he would handle it as soon as he went back.

Li Yi also found it simple, and went on to say: “This way, more ice sculptures can be made, deliberately rough, and lower the price to those who were hesitant to pay before.”

Fan Ai listened, stopped his chopsticks, looked at Li Yi again, secretly said: This boy is bad, how did your pure eyes pretend to be?

Seeing that you are so good to others and willing to spend money, I thought you were a good person.

You don’t even think that you have a lot of ways to cheat people, and you deliberately make it rough and cheap.

“Good!” Pei Yaoqing was tempted.

Li Yi continued to add: “In fact, there is no need to force people to pay. There are merchants on the street that make money, and they are unwilling to buy ice sculptures and give them away.”

“Send for nothing?” Pei Yaoqing asked.

“Yes, it’s free. The ice sculptures don’t pick out the position of the lights. It looks good during the day.

If they have the ability to cut out the place to install the lights, we don’t have to worry about it. Our lights are made in large quantities and the price is cheap.

And candles are better than oil lamps. The tallow candles made by Zhuangzi basically don’t emit black smoke. ”

After Li Yi said this, Pei Yaoqing’s eyes brightened and Fan Ai trembled.

Fan Ai quickly sipped the soup in the pig dish, giving himself a touch of warmth.

“Brother Yi, last time I said that it is not good to use silk, etc. for the candle as a lamp core. What exactly do you use?” Pei Yaoqing wanted to know.

“I can’t keep the secret anyway. The candle is for you. You can tell when you break it. In fact, it is made of reeds and silk.” Li Yi told the secret.

But what he didn’t say was that the reed chose a straight one, and then dipped the melted oil layer by layer.

Instead of putting a utensil there, the oil melted and poured into it and then inserted the core and cooled.

The process is cumbersome, so the candle does not drip down when it burns.

His paraffin wax didn’t drip oil at the time, that was because there was a layer of plastic on the outside, and it still dripped without plastic.

Pei Yaoqing didn’t know the doorway inside. He gave Fan Ai a look: Did you see it? Li Yi is so kind, and asks everything.

Fan Ai was a little confused, he always felt that Li Yi couldn’t see through.

Stretch out the chopsticks to pick up a piece of trembling pork belly, dip it in soy sauce, and eat it with a satisfying look, delicious, not greasy at all.

He smiled and asked Li Yi: “Does Li Dongzhu want to buy a few ice sculptures next to the city avenue?”

Li Yi raised his head to look at him, then smiled: “Okay, Shaofu can help introduce a few places.”

“Joke.” Fan Ai quickly refused. He always felt that if he really sold the position, something would happen and it would be a big trouble.

“I really want to buy it.” Li Yi looked sincere.

“Really not for sale.” Fan Ai’s tone was determined.
