Wu Qingyuan's dowry proposal to the Lin family really surprised the villagers. When the marriage was finalized, the village head came out of the Lin family, and everyone rushed up to inquire about the dowry. It was a full one or two gold and ten taels of silver. get sick.

My God, marrying a little brother is just a betrothal gift, do you need to spend so much money?

When the marriage is officially married, the wine will be served. According to the custom of Liushu Village, the man has to pay all the relatives of the two families. When is a little brother so valuable!

This is the voice of all the villagers, and there are those who are envious, jealous, and hated for a while, but no matter what, it is a fact that the Wu family attaches so much importance to the little brother of the rare Lin family.

No matter how the villagers were amazed and talked about, after the marriage was decided, Wu Qingyuan quickly devoted his energy to the carbon kiln business. He spent so much money during this time, he had to find a way to make money, or else The old man must be defeated.

It's already November, and the weather has gradually started to cool down. It won't be long before it snows, the river freezes, and the cold winter that everyone dislikes will begin, and it won't be warm until March.

All the carbon burned before was piled up in the vacant warehouse covered by the backyard. All the rooms are already full. We must find a way to sell some as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no place for the carbon burned later.

The carbon kiln is still hosted by the Chen family and his son. Lin Laogen, Zhang Dazhu and others, as well as some temporarily hired workers, continue to burn. Wu Qingyuan began to run outside every day to sell his own carbon.

Within a hundred miles of Shiqiao Town, customers with relatively large carbon demands, such as large families, restaurants, inns, etc., are basically monopolized by a few employees who are engaged in the carbon burning business. It is not so easy for him to get a piece of the pie. .

Therefore, Wu Qingyuan put his attention to the scattered people such as the grocery store, the surrounding villagers, etc. No matter how monopolized by those outsiders, there is still oil and water, and he only has three carbon kilns, and the amount of carbon burned is only that much. , not afraid of not being able to sell out in the end.

However, it is impossible for retail investors to sell one by one. Therefore, in addition to grocery stores and villagers, Wu Qingyuan chose the agency method commonly used by modern companies. The salesman, in exchange for the promised profit, let these salesmen help him sell the carbon.

This may make a little less money, but it saves a lot of effort. After all, he doesn't have a fixed customer sales channel like those outside the staff. He has just started and can only start like this.

But what Wu Qingyuan didn't expect was that this method was more successful than he imagined. Those villagers who he found sold a pound of carbon to earn a commission of a penny, but they went all out to cheat. Villagers buy.

Anyway, the quality of the charcoal in Wu Qingyuan's house is no worse than that of the takeaway staff. They can earn a penny if they sell a catty, and they can earn ten cents if they sell ten catties. A family needs to use one or two hundred catties of charcoal in a winter. A successful family is just a few hundred dollars. A village has a few hundred households. This motherfucker makes more money than the shopkeeper in the town. Such a light-hearted person who refuses to work is a fool!

Seeing these people working so hard to help him sell, Wu Qingyuan was also very happy, and no one would think that he made too much money.

This is the reason why he only finds one family in each village to sell charcoal. There is no competition, and the huge profits easily obtained are enough for these people to use their greatest potential to help him sell charcoal.

While busy with the carbon kiln business, Wu Qingyuan naturally did not forget his sweetheart, Amo. The most satisfying life is a good harvest of work and love.

He promised to give Amer a few cookbooks last time, but the text of the cookbooks in his space were all modern, and the ancients couldn't read them at all. Amer couldn't read, and Lin Tianbao couldn't translate it for him.

Therefore, temporarily explained that after Amo and Lin Tianbao knew a few more words, after dealing with the business of the carbon kiln every day, he took time to sit at Lin's house for a while, and met the young man who was thinking about it. Brother Zhou, something.

What kind of woman's little brother is incompetent is virtue. This is just because ancient men imprisoned women and children because of their machismo and rights. After Zhou Ge'er gets married, he can't watch it all the time. It's always good to teach him more things. of.

Due to the different kitchen tools in ancient and modern times, there are some restrictions. He also chose when translating. He only copied and translated what he could make here into the text here, and also cut out the pictures inside, and finally sorted and synthesized.

The characters in the book are ugly, but the pictures are exquisitely cut, pasted and stitched carefully, and Wu Qingyuan writes every word on every page so carefully and his eyes are so gentle.

If he was seen by those who knew him like this, he would be so shocked that a big rock could be stuffed in his mouth, and a tough guy would turn into a soft-hearted man. The power of love is really incredible...

Time flies, and the end of the year is approaching.

The carbon kiln Wu Qingyuan has stopped and has not continued to burn. The business of burning carbon is only profitable for a few months each year. Before the end of the year, everyone should have enough carbon. out.

After a whole few months of work, the fire of the three carbon kilns has not been cut off.

The method of using profit to lure people to sell is very successful. In order to make money, the agreed village households and merchants worked very hard. Although not all the people in the surrounding villages were lobbied to buy Wu Qingyuan's carbon, two or three hundred households in a village are still enough. Seventy or eighty people were brought here, and the total of nearly ten villages in the surrounding area is seven or eight hundred households. This number is worthy of praise.

The main target of those merchants is the people in the town, and the people in the town have a larger base. In the end, relying on these people, plus the customers who went out to run, they made a total of more than 600 taels.

After deducting the money for selling the villagers, the purchase of wood, the wages of the carbon kiln workers, etc., Wu Qingyuan finally calculated that this time he made a total of 500 taels!

It may not sound like a huge amount, but you must know that the carbon kilns outside the staff sell far more carbon each year than him, and the final net profit is only about 1,000 taels. He is just three small carbon kilns.

However, the reason why he can earn so much is thanks to his ability. A pound of green wood charcoal is 15 yuan, and fruit wood charcoal is 8 yuan, and the cost of the purchase price of the two is 7 yuan for green oak wood and 3 yuan for fruit wood, accounting for 7 yuan. Half of the selling price, and his large amount of ripening has saved him a lot of costs, and it is not surprising that the net profit is so much.

Of course, only Wu Qingyuan knows how much he has earned. Others can't figure it out, but he is so active in selling carbon that the villagers in Liushu Village also buy from him. If you calculate the price, you can guess He made a lot of money.

And Zhang Dazhu, the father and son of the Chen family, and the brothers Lin Laogen who helped him here also received a lot of wages, each of them nearly a dozen or so, and the villagers who inquired about it were really jealous and envious.

They have worked so hard to grow the land for a year, and they only have a dozen taels of silver. The landlords of the tenant farms still have to charge them rent and grain. It is sad that they have been treated as them for two or three months for a year.

But the sadness returns to the sadness, the envy returns to the envy, the most lively Chinese New Year of the year is coming, and every household is happily preparing things for the festival.

Wu Qingyuan naturally got ready. The wedding date of Brother Zhou and Zhang Dazhu was approaching. The Zhang family had to worry about organizing the banquet, and he also had to worry about the dowry.

In addition, in the past two months, he has been running around all day to sell carbon. He and Amer have less time to meet alone. Even each meeting is in a hurry and ends quickly. Now it is a little empty. Tomorrow, will go to town to do a dowry for Zhou Ge'er, and just happened to take Amer to the lively and lively.

And Brother Zhou also has to go out for a walk. This child is too obedient. In the past few months, in addition to going out to wash clothes, or come to the carbon kiln with Amer to cook for everyone, it is rare to go out and stay there obediently. Make wedding dresses at home.

Anyway, there are only two of them in their family, and there is no elder to call the shots. There is nothing taboo or unreasonable for him to take Brother Zhou to buy a dowry.

After the decision was made, he made a list of all the dowries to be purchased that night, and early the next morning he took Brother Zhou to the Lin's house to find Amer.

"Okay, it just so happens that our family hasn't bought anything for the New Year. Uncle will go with you. Tianbao will go to the backyard and lead the cow out. Boy Qingyuan, come and help uncle hook up the scooter."

Lin Laogen is not an unreasonable person. He still understands the rhetoric of young people who haven't seen each other for a day, and he readily nodded in agreement.

However, he still has to take Lin Tianbao and the Erfang family together. In addition to buying things for the Chinese New Year, it is also to avoid suspicion. No matter how he can understand the rules are still there, even if the two children are married, they can't let them alone. My little brother followed me out.

As for the name Wu Qingyuan was suddenly changed from Brother Wu, who was smooth, to 'King Yuan Boy', Lin Laogen was also very elegant.

It's okay to call him casually before, but now Wu Qingyuan can be regarded as his brother-in-law. If he calls Wu Qingyuan Wu Brother Wu again, what should Wu Qingyuan call him?

Could it be that in the future he will call Wu Qingyuan his brother and Wu Qingyuan his father? It's not a joke when it spreads out, so the name must be deserved!

"Okay, Uncle Lin, sit down and rest, I'll hit the car for you..."

Of course Wu Qingyuan understands his concerns. He has always flattered his father-in-law very well, and he immediately smiled and helped him in the past.

The scooter was fastened, the back basket was taken, and all the things that should be brought with him were brought. Then, get on the scooter, and Lin Laogen drove the ox's palm rope. Accompanied by a few children, they happily shouted "New Year's Eve" in a tender and childlike voice. The cart and ox moved slowly towards Shiqiao Town.
