The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 192 Open a toy shop

The bricklayers in the city that Shiliu specially invited this time were quite reputable. When they arrived, they looked at the drawings Shiliu gave them. Although the house looked strange and they had never built it like this before, after all, they had built a big house. I'm a wise man, so I didn't say much and just built it according to the drawings.

This is also a good price paid by Pomegranate. Although the drawing is strange, there is no problem in building it.

Otherwise, they won't take the job.

Just a few days after the construction started, the master couldn't help but wonder about the drainage ditch that was specially set aside to connect the house.

"I know about these special drainage ditches, but they are under every house. And what are the round ones here? Is it possible that the drainage is drained from here?"

Pomegranate smiled and said: "I just thought that the clean room and the latrine are combined in the room. It would be too troublesome to carry the bath water in and out in buckets. If only I could get a drain to drain the water out. It’s easy. There are too many drains, which will inevitably make the surroundings of the house wet. And in this latrine, the sewage is discharged out like this, and the smell is also strong. If such round pipes are installed in the drains, it will Drainage pipes, this will be a lot more convenient——"

The master bricklayer's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought that this was a good idea. If it could be used, he could imagine that many people would be happy to build new houses in this way.

How to make the round pipe? Although he was curious, he thought he could always see it later, so he didn't ask much at the moment. He just wanted to build the house well. He would discuss it with the little girl then, and he would discuss it in the future. Allowing them to use this drainage ditch method would allow him to charge less for the wages.

With this method, they will definitely be able to take on more jobs in the future.

It was just a little longer than the agreed day to pick up the goods. Early that morning, Pomegranate and Li Rongzong went to Dade Village together.

The reason for the delay is that they have been busy these days. First, the Meng family came to propose the marriage because they were optimistic about the date. Both families were optimistic about the marriage, so naturally there was nothing to discuss. The Song family and Li Jihe nodded in agreement. After the marriage was arranged, the betrothal gift and other matters were discussed with the Meng family, and then the marriage was officially settled when the Meng family saw an auspicious day.

Later, several good days came out for the Song family to ask Old Man Song to get married, and they invited the matchmaker Huang Yuan to send it to the Lin family. Finally, the Lin family chose one of the days, which was neither early nor late, which happened to be September 10th. eight.

At that time, the autumn harvest had passed and the weather had cooled down. It was a good time to welcome a daughter-in-law.

Later, I went to Ding's house again to recruit more carpenters.

That's how it ended today.

But don't worry, the Meng family has seen them when they came to the door that day, and they know that the items ordered by their family are not afraid even if they don't pick them up in time.

No, when they arrived at the Meng family pottery kiln, Meng Changchun saw them and said with a smile: "I was going to load up the car and send it to your home!"

Shiliu said hurriedly: "I've been quite busy these days. I delayed the scheduled date and made Uncle Meng you wait for so long. I'm really sorry!"

Meng Changchun waved his hands and said, "The Li family will be a serious family in the future, and these are his son's future brother-in-law and sister-in-law. They are direct relatives. Naturally, he took it seriously and hurriedly invited the two brothers and sisters into his home." He went to sit and drink tea and eat sugar water, and then he called on the workers to load the goods. A bullock cart couldn't load it at all, so he quickly hitched his own car to help load the goods.

When the goods are loaded, Pomegranate will pay the money and leave. If Meng Changchun is willing to do anything, he must stay with them for lunch before leaving. Meng Changchun's daughter-in-law has already started organizing in the kitchen with her daughter.

The pomegranate siblings couldn't resist, so they had no choice but to follow the good example.

After eating and sitting for a while, the pomegranate brothers and sisters said goodbye. When they came to collect the money, Meng Changchun was also tough and refused to accept so much more, and he was full of truth. I didn't know it at first, but now I'm familiar with it. This acquaintance still pays acquaintance price, let alone his in-laws. How can he charge the same price as outsiders?
The pomegranates were not worth it, even if they were given to Meng Changchun. Therefore, the Meng family made no profit from the last batch of round pipes and only received the cost.

However, Meng Changchun said with a smile, "Eldest niece, please don't think we are at a loss. I think this round pipe will be useful. I don't think big business will come to you in the future!"

As soon as Shiliu heard this, she understood what he meant. Thinking about the hesitation of the master bricklayer at home, she immediately said readily that she would definitely tell people that this round pipe was fired in the Meng family pottery kiln!
When the round pipe was pulled back, the master bricklayers suddenly realized it, and when they thought about it, they were amazed.

This ceramic round tube is expensive to make, and most people can't afford it, but most people don't pay that much attention.

The master bricklayer can predict that the wealthy families in the city will not miss it if they know the benefits of sewer pipes.

At this moment, I must ask Pomegranate, which pottery kiln made such a round pipe?

Pomegranate didn't hide anything, and even emphasized that many pottery kilns that she had visited before said they couldn't bake it, but only this Meng family pottery kiln could!

The master bricklayer kept the Meng family pottery kiln in mind, and without saying anything more, he followed Shiliu's instructions and carefully installed the round pipes in the drainage ditch, and connected them properly——

Once the sewers are installed and lined up, the house can be built quickly. It only takes half a month to almost complete the project.

The new house was in trouble, and Pomegranate was very concerned about it. He asked his grandfather, Old Man Song, to help him look for an auspicious day. At the same time, Pomegranate also received good news about the opening of the shop that Old Man Song showed him.

It's already the end of March, and the shops on North Street have long been decorated and airy, just waiting for people to move in.

After seeing the progress of the carpentry workshop, Shiliu immediately decided to officially open the business on this recent auspicious day as seen by Old Man Song!
This shop naturally has a shopkeeper and a waiter. The shopkeeper is easy to talk to, and the clan can pick out a few clever boys at any time. The shopkeeper is the only one who needs to be literate, able to calculate accounts and be able to communicate. This is difficult to handle.

There are only two people in the clan who can read, do accounts, and talk. Uncle Six is ​​at Jixiang Inn, the contract has not yet been completed, and Uncle Zhongtang is in charge of the cabinet of the specialty shop.

After much thought, Shiliu decided to let her eldest brother Li Rongzong be the shopkeeper and the clan leader's uncle be the accountant.

Like Li Jizu, Li Jizong also went to Fan's School for two years. He didn't have much problem with literacy and accounting, but he was stupid and not good at talking. That was it in front of his own family, but he couldn't open his mouth when meeting strangers.

It wouldn't work if he was left alone to attend to the guests, but if he was only responsible for keeping accounts, there would be no problem.

As for the waiters, Shiliu found three, two who can drive cars so that they can deliver goods to the door. One is cousin Wu from the third uncle's family, one is cousin Yang from the second uncle's family, and the other is from the sixth uncle's family this year. Fourteen-year-old cousin Zi has been in the city for two years and is somewhat familiar with the city.

In addition, as a delivery person, Shiliu ordered his fourth uncle and cousin Li Rongsong.

Finally, the shop needs to have carpenters ready at all times. The yard is as big as the left and right, which is perfect for carpentry work. The carpentry workshop here at home is somewhat limited.

Pomegranate decided to move the people who made three kinds of slides to the shop, while the rest stayed in the carpentry workshop at home.

So ready, all we have to do is wait for the opening.
