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

The visitor was very surprised, then happy, and praised again and again, "Half price? People say that Mr. Tai from Taijia Village is a man of justice, and I was lucky enough to meet him today. The ice lantern business of Taijia will definitely be booming! How much? Not even a musician can take it away!"

Manager Min knew that this man was also a manager. If he came to inquire about the price and reported it to his master, he would definitely leave a good impression that he could do things well.

So, he quickly returned the gift and said with a smile, "Then let me borrow my brother's good advice! However, Mr. Tai has no intention of grabbing business. After all, the ice lanterns are made and decorated by our Tai'an County. If you think others are good at their craftsmanship, just change it." It’s just one family.”

"That can't be done, no way!" The visitor quickly waved his hand and replied, "The most important thing in business is credibility. Last year, the ice sculptures everywhere in our county belonged to the Tai family, and the craftsmen went in and out of the back houses without causing any trouble. The rumors and rumors are really reliable. As long as the wages are not too different, everyone would rather hire the Tai family to do the work."

Manager Min said a few more polite words, then registered the visitor and placed him in third place.

Of course, the first family is the Wu family, and the second family is their Min family. You must know that Mr. Min and Mrs. Min have given instructions long ago, especially when the Qu family jumps out to grab business.

Now it seems that Mr. Min and Mrs. Min are worried in vain. The reputation of the Tai family is really reliable and everyone knows it. No one can say that a replacement can be replaced.

Although Tai'an County is barren and there are no wealthy families, there are also many well-to-do families, and they are all connected by countless connections, such as friends, in-laws, and neighbors.

If one family makes a big or small move, the rest of the family will soon know about it.

No, one family registered with Manager Min and ordered Tai's ice-making lamp, and soon there was a second and third family...

In just three days, Manager Min wrote half a booklet. He was very attentive, including the name of the person who made the reservation, whether the house was to be decorated in a garden or a corridor, or in front of and behind the house, how many days to prepare for the construction, etc. Record clearly.

When Mr. Tai got the brochure, the Wu family's garden had been decorated, and dozens of Mr. Wu's posts had been given out.

Mr. Tai took his precious granddaughter back to the village by car and called his brother to discuss adding more manpower.

I originally thought that the Qu family stole most of the business, and the rest of the work could only be done by the Tai family.

But now it seems that the Qu family is incapable of fighting, but the Tai family is too busy, so they need to borrow "soldiers"!

People in the village came and went, so Mr. Tai couldn't help but hear a few words. He thought that his business had been robbed, but he didn't dare to tell the villagers, for fear that all the old and young would be troubled, so he could only walk in circles in the yard day and night.

At this moment, he suddenly heard from his old brother that the business was going great and he had not lost anything at all. He jumped three feet high with joy and bit the blisters on his lips. The pain made him gasp in air!

"Borrowing people, you must borrow people!" Mr. Tai pointed at the villages in front and behind, and shouted, "There are too many people in Zhangjia Village and Liujia Village. If you just shout, hundreds of them will definitely come out. I'm afraid it will be too late! In the past few days, If you live in the city, Village Chief Zhang and Village Chief Liu will step on the doorstep of my house!"

Mr. Tai laughed, then borrowed two pieces of snacks from his granddaughter as payment for running errands, and sent the two naughty boys to Liujiacun and Zhangjiacun to invite people respectively.

Soon, Village Chief Zhang and Village Chief Liu arrived in a hurry.

Even if the naughty boys didn't explain it clearly, they knew it. Whenever something good happens in Taijia Village, they can always follow Zhan Guang'er. Taijia Village eats meat and they drink soup, which is simply the best thing.

Sure enough, Mr. Tai started recruiting people when he opened his mouth, and the two village chiefs immediately started fighting for more places. After all, the winter is bitterly cold, and there is really no way to earn more money to supplement the family income.

The Tai family acts uprightly and has ready-made jobs in their hands. As long as they are diligent and avoid getting into trouble, they will never be treated badly! In the end, Mr. Tai San heard the compliments from the two people and distributed them to them in a leisurely manner.

There are forty men in Zhangjiacun and thirty in Liujiacun, totaling seventy.

In this way, together with the more than 30 men in Taijia Village, there were more than 100 people, and they could make ice lanterns for three families at the same time.

Early the next morning, Mr. Tai rushed to the county town with the manpower from the two villages. Brothers Tai Jizong and Tai Jizong were divided into two groups, one group took the ice harvesting and transportation, and the other group went to the customer's home to carve ice lanterns.

Collecting ice is hard work, and if one accidentally falls into the river, he or she may easily fall ill. But it’s better than worrying!

The work of carving ice lanterns is easier, but it requires good skills. In order to avoid suspicion, you cannot walk around at will in the guest's house, and you even lower your head when entering and exiting. You must not look around or disturb other people's women.

In short, each has its own pros and cons, but everyone cherishes this opportunity to make money and their trust.

Of course, these are in the eyes of everyone, and they feel more at ease!

The reputation of the Tai family had another small explosion after the Wu family held the lantern viewing banquet. The Wu family’s garden is so beautifully decorated with ice lanterns!

After a year of thinking, Tai Jizong, his fellow apprentices, and friends figured out more ice lantern styles.

In addition to last year's more colorful rabbit lanterns and lotus lanterns, this year we also added dolls holding carp, immortals offering longevity peaches, Chang'e flying to the moon...

In short, whatever people can think of, there are ice sculptures.

Mr. Wu was a scholar, and he invited scholars from almost the entire county to come. Facing the bright lights in the garden, one was writing poems and the other was writing rhymes, but the excitement was overwhelming.

Less than a year later, the ice sculptures and lanterns became an instant hit again.

The managers of each house can't wait to go to Min's dim sum shop every day, and they want to make friends with each other, just to get their ice sculptures started as soon as possible!

Manager Min has been traveling around for so many years, so he has naturally learned to be versatile and able to deal with it with ease. But in private, I saw that everyone in the Tai family was also working hard to rush the construction period, and they wished they could carve all the ice lanterns in one night!

The idle people in various teahouses and restaurants also talked about it a lot.

Occasionally, there were merchants who came to collect furs and medicinal materials. After hearing a lot and seeing a lot, they hurried back to the southern state capital and decided to do this business.

Unfortunately, the ice lantern seems inconspicuous, but it has many limitations. The first thing to bear the brunt is...it's not cold enough anywhere else!

Thousands of miles away in Kyoto, nobles still wear mink fur when going out in winter. In fact, the ice and snow cannot stand for long.

As a result, the self-proclaimed smart merchants quickly gave up the idea.

But Kyoto is prosperous, and people with money and leisure can always come up with a lot of fun things to do to pass the time, and the ice lantern is no different.

Let's just say that in the past few days, there is a new oiran in the flower house, named Miss Yue Xin. She is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially a good voice. The little songs she sings are said to linger for three days.

I don’t know how many princes, nobles and dandy boys hang out in flower houses just to see beauties. (End of chapter)
