Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

The old man was stunned for a moment, but he was not too anxious. While pouring tea, he asked, "Why, have you heard anything? Don't worry too much. After all, our family doesn't dominate this business. Others want to get involved when they see how much money they are making." Let’s make peace, we can’t stop it!”

Manager Min didn't expect the old man to be so open-minded, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just in time, Zhuzhu and Sesame Ball ran in from the door, and Zhuzhu hugged his thigh directly, "Uncle Min, Zhuzhu misses you! Why did you come to see Zhuzhu?"

Manager Min was coaxed to smile by the fat girl, he hugged her and sat on his lap and said, "Uncle is busy today, but now he comes to see Zhuzhu, the most well-behaved one in our family. Are your mother relieved if you come with grandpa? I won't let you." Can Chunhong or Erya come to help?"

"Sister Erya is here!" Zhuzhu pointed to the door. The door of the stove in the yard was open, and steam was faintly coming out. It was Erya who was cooking dinner.

Manager Min said, "It's okay. Erya is here, so you don't have to worry about having no one to take care of your meals. After a while, when Erya is free, ask her to take you to the shop to get snacks. You can get whatever you like!"

"Okay, thank you Uncle Min!" Zhuzhu was waiting for this sentence, her big eyes were bent into crescent moons with joy, and the white and tender little breasts on her face were trembling!

Sesame Ball also swung its tail a few times and barked twice. Zhuzhu immediately jumped to the ground, and then climbed onto Sesame Ball's back.

"Grandpa, Uncle Min, Sesame Ball said to take me to get some snacks!" After that, one person and one dog ran away in a hurry.

The old man and Manager Min didn't stop him. The dim sum shop was really close. You could see the back door of the dim sum shop as soon as you opened the door. Moreover, there were villagers in the courtyard, so they followed the two of them as soon as they saw it.

Without the child in front of him, Manager Min returned to the topic, "Uncle, today I heard that the Qu family in the south of the city has also started to do ice sculpture business! Their family is somewhat famous in the city, and every house that builds a house will come to them. There is also their carpentry shop on the shopping street, so you really have no choice in craftsmanship!"

Mr. Tai frowned slightly and replied, "Since you are good at carpentry, it is indeed easy to change it into an ice sculpture. Has the news been released by their family? What is the price?"

"Yes, I heard that their family is going to harvest ice tomorrow, and they have publicized the wages." At this point, Manager Min paused, and then said, "And the wages are only half of ours."

Mr. Tai asked again, "Has anyone come to you recently to inquire about making ice sculptures from our family?"

Manager Min nodded, "Yes, but I don't know if our wages will change this year, so I don't dare to agree rashly."

"If someone comes to ask again, just give me a price, which is half of last year's price. If they want to ask our family to make ice sculptures, they will give you a deposit of two taels of silver. Jiye and the children are not at home, so I will trouble you again." Help me make an account book." Mr. Tai took out his pipe and pot, clicked it twice, and settled the matter.

But Manager Min was surprised and persuaded, "Uncle, is it too much to reduce the labor price by half? Our family has an excellent reputation. Big families must trust our family more. Even if the price is higher than that set by the Qu family, there will definitely be some." Business."

Mr. Tai waved his hand and responded, "It's because everyone trusts our family that we can't ask for high prices. Besides, this ice sculpture business was originally meant to find a winter job for the young and old in the village to earn some money for the New Year. Our family is not short now. This money, giving up half of the profits, can be considered as a way to maintain the trust of each family, and it does not lose the hard-earned money of the villagers. It will be good if both parties are happy."

Manager Min felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

If you ask for something, you will suffer.

The Tai family does not expect this business to survive, so naturally they are not afraid of the Qu family competing for it. Moreover, at the same price, the Qu family may not be able to grab it if they want to.

From a reputation point of view, the Tai family has the same reputation as last year, and each family prefers to be more mature than raw. From a profit perspective, people in Taijia Village are not greedy and just earn hard-earned money. However, the masters of the Qu family usually earn very high wages. Now that they are suffering from the cold and suffering, they will probably not be happy with the same wages. If the Qu family had the idea of ​​​​squeezing out the Tai family, making one family the only one, and taking the opportunity to raise prices, they would have made a wrong calculation!

Erya came in from outside and asked the old man with a smile, "Grandpa Six, I made hand-made noodles and heated up the mushroom meat sauce I brought from home to make stew. Can we start dinner?"

"Okay, everyone is hungry. Let's set the table quickly." The old man knocked on the pipe pot and smiled, leaving the steward to eat. "Don't go back, just stay and have a bowl of hot noodles. There are many people today, and the meal is also lively." "

"Okay, then I'll try Erya's cooking!" Manager Min was not polite and ate two bowls of noodles with the old man.

As a result, as soon as the dishes and chopsticks were put down, Yongning and Yongfeng came back.

Yongning held the fat girl in his arms, followed by Sesame Ball. The fat girl held the snack and ate it happily, not forgetting to stuff it into her brother's mouth.

Yongfeng had a lively temper, and Le Diandian rushed in and shouted, "Grandpa Six, Brother Ning was praised by his husband for his article today, and he also gave him a set of good pens!"

"Seriously?" The old man was happy to hear this and quickly called his grandson to come forward and ask carefully.

Yongning was not arrogant and complacent, and responded, "Today's article has been talked about by my husband before, and I have tried to write it once, so I am more familiar with it than my senior brothers. If it were normal days, I would definitely not be as good as my senior brothers."

Yongfeng was unconvinced and retorted, "No, it's because you studied well, and Mr. Zhou usually praised you more."

Mr. Tai raised his hand and patted the brat, and patiently pointed out, "You are just too straight-tempered. Yongning is under Mr. Wu together with his brothers, and he is the youngest, so naturally he has to be more modest.

"Not to mention that Yongning's background is not as profound as that of his senior brothers. Even if he is really much better than his senior brothers, he cannot be arrogant and complacent. You must know that there is no end to learning. If the senior brothers in front of you are not as good as him, what will happen in the future? Who can guarantee that Yongning will always take the lead!"

Yongfeng was not stupid, he just had a blind respect for his younger brother. After listening to the instructions of his elders, he scratched the back of his head and said, "I understand, Grandpa Six, I will never talk nonsense again."

"That's right, let's go eat." Mr. Tai asked, "Yongning has eaten and done his homework. It's dark enough to light the lamp. I'll go to Wu's house and take a look. You can help me take care of Zhuzhu."

Zhuzhu immediately responded obediently, "Grandpa, don't worry, Zhuzhu will definitely be obedient!"

The old man smiled and rubbed his granddaughter's little hair, "My Zhuzhu is the most sensible!"

After sitting for a while, Manager Min went back to Min's house and walked out of the small courtyard with the old man.

The next day, another person came to the snack shop to inquire about making some ice lanterns outside his home. They would not only look good, but also be convenient for the neighbors and also create a good reputation.

Manager Min got Mr. Tai's accurate words and knew what he was saying, so he responded, "The old man of the Tai family said that when they made the ice lanterns last year, life was difficult for their family and the village. Thanks to the trust of the nobles in the county, I give you It has helped them a lot of business, which is really a big help.

"Now the life in the village is easy. In order to repay each family, the wages are reduced by half. It is enough for the villagers to make hard-earned money." (End of Chapter)
