Chapter 176 Chapter 160 Where the seven blessings come, Wuji and others go into business again ([-])
As soon as Chai Changsheng heard that it was a whip on the horse's buttocks, the horse immediately started to run, and Duan Wuji and the others hurriedly beat the horse and chased after seeing it.

Fortunately, they are familiar with the road now, Duan Wuji and the others arrived at the door of the cloth shop not too long ago, and saw Duan Changqing and Chai Shao sitting at the door of the cloth shop drinking water, when they saw Duan Wuji and the others coming, they quickly stood up and said hello.

"Brothers, you came here so fast! Come on, come on, sit down and have a sip of tea first. Let's go to the porcelain shop and pay the silver in a while."

Several people sat down and drank tea, Duan Wuji asked Chai Shao, "Brother Chai, have you paid the money for this cloth shop? This time we ordered 6000 taels of cloth."

Chai Shao laughed and said: "The money for this cloth shop has been paid off long ago, hey, brother, when are we going to load this goods into the truck?"

"When will the truck be loaded? I think we should load the truck now. We have all the goods ready today, so we can get on the road tomorrow!"

Chai Shao laughed and said, "Brother, you are really in a hurry, you are really in a hurry!

Well, let's load the goods into the car today, and save trouble tomorrow.I'll send for the wagons I've hired, and let them come and load. "

Chai Shao smiled and said to the owner of the cloth shop: "Boss, do you have a pen and paper? I'll write you a note, and you can take it to my house and ask someone to go. arranged.

Maybe they are waiting at the gate now. "

The owner of the cloth shop brought a pen and paper, and Chai Shao held the pen in his hand, and wrote a note to the owner of the cloth shop.

"Take it, we have other things to do, so don't waste time here, boss, you have to figure it out for me!"

"Young Master Chai, don't worry, you don't need to worry about this matter, I will definitely handle it well for you, and I will be responsible for any mistakes in this matter."

Chai Shao stood up and said to everyone: "Brothers, go, come with me to install porcelain."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Wait a minute, I still have something to do."

Duan Wuji said to his elder brother: "Brother, we have 5000 taels of silver, you can count out 1000 taels of silver for me, and give the rest of the silver to the owner of the tea shop. After paying the silver, you can go home went."

Duan Wuji walked to his horse, took out 20 taels of silver and handed it to Duan Changsheng.

"Brother, take it and buy something for them by the way, how can you do it with two empty hands?"

Duan Changsheng took the silver and said with a smile: "Brother, you are really thoughtful!

good!That's what we did. "

Duan Wuji turned around and said to Chai Shao: "Brother Chai, when we send out the cars later, let's send the cars from the tea shop as well."

Chai Shao listened and nodded.

"Well, that's fine. Brother, why didn't you say this earlier? You see, I just wrote this note. I have to pay for it."

"Brother Chai, what are you bothering about? Isn't it just a matter of writing another note? Isn't there no owner of the cloth shop now?

I think you even want five carriages for pulling porcelain, so we can save trouble. "

Chai Shao laughed and said: "That's right, let's do it this way. Since the owner of the cloth shop hasn't left yet, I don't need to write any more notes. I'll ask the owner of the cloth shop to send me a message." .”

Chai Shao called the owner of the cloth shop and whispered a few words, and then said with a smile: "I've settled this matter, and the carriage will be here in a while."

Duan Wuji walked over to take the 1000 taels of silver handed over by his brother, and said to everyone: "Let's go, let's go pick up the porcelain now. By the way, let's take a look at the manufacturing process of this porcelain. We are really good at this thing." I haven't been in touch yet.

Hey, brother, you can go there, it's getting late, let's contact you if you need anything. "

Duan Changsheng laughed and said, "What's the matter? Alright, brother, I'm going."

After speaking, Duan Changsheng drove the carriage away.

Chai Shao saw it and said with a smile: "There's nothing else going on here, let's go, follow me to the place where porcelain is produced.

By the way, let you open your eyes and gain a long view. "

Several people got on their horses, and under the leadership of Chai Shao, they went straight to the outskirts of the southeast corner of the city and ran down. There was a small village fifteen or six miles away from the city. In the northeast corner of the village was a kiln for firing porcelain. .

Now there are two kilns smoking, and five or six workers are making porcelain clay tires in the yard.

There are all kinds of utensils, ranging from small teapots and bowls to large tea trays and vases. All kinds of utensils are quite complete.

Chai Shao saw the people who were working and shouted loudly: "Hey! Where's your boss? Tell him to come out.

Just say we're coming. "

A young man who was working immediately ran in after hearing this, and after a while an old man in his 50s followed the young man and ran out.

Duan Wuji took a look and saw that the boss was wearing a blue cloth shirt and a pair of homemade shoes on his feet, looking very shabby.

The boss saw that a few people were walking around with big horses and gorgeous clothes, so he quickly said with a smile: "Bosses, I am looking forward to you coming today. If you don't want these five carts of goods, we will indeed be poor soon." It’s closed, we really can’t continue this business.”

Zishao laughed and said, "Boss, don't make trouble with us, and we won't give you a tael of silver. We can do what we say."

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "What is the boss's name?"

The old man at the mouth of the porcelain kiln laughed and said, "Little old man, my surname is Huang, and my name is Huang Qiusheng. You can just call me Old Huangtou."

"Boss Huang, show me one of the things you made. Let me see how the porcelain you made is like?"

After hearing this, Boss Huang hurriedly ordered the two young men to get it. After a while, the two young men took out more than a dozen pieces of fired porcelain and placed them in front of Duan Wuji.

Duan Wuji picked it up and looked at it carefully, not to mention, this porcelain is really well made, there is not even a single flaw left.

Duan Wuji looked at it for a long time and said with a smile: "Old man, your porcelain is not bad, do you know why your products are not easy to sell?"

"How would I know this? If I knew it, I would have improved a long time ago, so why bother with this half-dead man!

Hey, I'm almost worried to death now, why do you say we don't do this!But it's not a good thing to do this, and such a good thing can't be sold. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Boss, look at your porcelain. Although it is well-made, there is no flower pattern on it. Who would want to want this thing you made?"

"Paint patterns on porcelain? Oh, boss, you don't know, do you know how difficult it is to paint patterns on this porcelain?
The paint alone costs hundreds of taels of silver, plus hiring the painter is a considerable expense. If the finished product cannot be sold, then we will have to hang ourselves. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Boss, how about I invest in you. Let's run this porcelain kiln together. What do you think?"

"That's great, if we can rely on rich people like you, at least we people won't have to worry about food anymore.

Boss, you can keep your word!Are you kidding me? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Boss, do you think I'm joking? Boss, tell me! How much is your asset worth?"

After hearing this, Boss Huang summed it up and said: "Well, it's worth 4000 taels of silver, even if you take into account this family fortune."

"Okay, let's say 4000 taels, I'll invest 3000 taels for you, we cooperate, you are the major shareholder, and I am the second shareholder.

You have four shares and I have three shares. At that time, we will pay dividends according to the shares. Do you think this is good? "

"Great, let's make a deal like this. Hey, little brother, how respectful is your name?"

Duan Tianji laughed and said, "My surname is Duan, and my name is Duan Wuji.

Hey, Brother Chai, can you lend me 3000 taels of silver?I will pay you back when I come back from selling horses. "

Chai Shao laughed and said, "Brother, I'll send someone to deliver it for you this afternoon, isn't it just 3000 taels of silver? It's easy to talk about."

Tieniu smiled and said, "Brother, can you give me 1000 taels equally? Let me count it too."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Okay, brother, let's say you have 1000 taels, and you can be the three shareholders."

Duan Wuji looked at the old man in the kiln and said, "Boss Huang, the 3000 taels are enough to buy paints and hire painters."

"Enough, enough, how can I use up so much money! Now my business has become more active again.

Boss Duan, thank you very much.Now you have saved us! "
