Chapter 184 Erquan's toilet business starts

It happened to be noon now, and people in the workshop were leaving work one after another.

Ye Caiping handed the afternoon work to Zhao Fan and went home with Daquan and Erquan.

At noon, Ye Erquan and his family had lunch at Ye Caiping's house.

At the dinner table, Wei was surprised and asked, "This... the head of the family, is he planning to build a hut for Baiweilou?"

Ye Caiping nodded: "My second brother will go to Baiweilou to measure the dimensions early tomorrow morning, and then decide on the materials. We can start construction in three to five days."

Wei smiled and said, "That's fine. I think we can make some money. It just so happens that starting tomorrow, it will be the turn of my eldest brother and his wife to deliver the goods."

Ye Caiping said, "After Baiwei Building builds this kind of hut, people outside will follow suit, and then Second Brother will be very busy. Plus, there is a lot of work to do at home. I have to think about how to make ends meet every day. It would be more practical to hire someone to carry water and deliver goods. It only costs thirty cents a day."

Wei choked. She felt that this kind of toilet would not be popular.

Look at this village, everyone who sees my little sister’s outhouse would shake their heads and say it’s a waste of money. There’s not even one person willing to imitate it.

Mrs. Du said, "That's right. Even if we don't have the work of building a hut, I would still like to save some money. Hiring someone only costs one or two taels of silver a month. If you earn more, you will naturally want to relax a little. There is no need to suffer."

Ye Daquan and his brothers all agreed.

Wei was a little anxious. As the workshop grew bigger, he didn't know how long he could continue the delivery job, so he wanted to save as much as possible.

But seeing that everyone agreed, there was nothing more to say.

Ye Erquan smiled and said, "It's settled. I'll leave the matter of recruiting people to my elder brother and his wife. I'll go find Sanquan and Tieniu and tell them about building a hut. Oh...wait, Tieniu is easy to talk to, but Sanquan is working in the workshop..."

At least he is now carrying water and delivering goods, and he has his own time. But Sanquan couldn't just quit his work in the workshop and start building a hut.

Ye Caiping said, "If he wants to build a hut, he can't work in the workshop. Tell him that building a hut has a better future than working in the workshop. If he still can't bear to leave the workshop, it's okay. You can just find someone else who is willing to team up with you, second brother."

"Why."

Ye Erquan responded, quickly ate the remaining rice, wiped his mouth, and ran out.

…

Uncle Ye and his family had just finished their meal, and Ye Sanquan was preparing to go back to the house to rest.

Ye Erquan walked in excitedly and told him about building the thatched hut.

Uncle Ye and his family were all stunned.

Ye Sanquan frowned: "Second brother means... we have to measure the dimensions tomorrow? We have to start construction in a few days?"

"Yes. My younger sister has taken over the order from Baiweilou for me and has already given me a deposit of one tael of silver."

Ye Sanquan was a little hesitant: "I'm working in the workshop right now... Ask for leave?"

"Of course not. My little sister said that if you go out to build a hut, you can't work in the workshop. But my little sister said that building a hut has more prospects."

Ye Sanquan was thinking.

Ye Erquan said, "Think about it carefully. Anyway, today is February 30th, and you still have half a day's work in the workshop! Come find me after work. I'll go to Tie Niu's house first."

After saying that, he left.

Ye Sanquan wanted to build a thatched hut, but he was reluctant to give up his work in the workshop.

Sanquan's wife said, "The workshop is great. 30 wen a day, 900 wen a month, and it's right next to home. Building a hut outside...how much can you earn? At best, 30 or 40 wen a day, and there's not work every day."

Uncle Ye gave her a sidelong look and said, "Shut up. Sanquan, what do you think?"

Ye Sanquan said, "I, I'll go out and build a hut! My second brother just said that building a hut is a better way to go out. Just because it was said by my little sister, I believe it."

Uncle Ye nodded and said with a smile: "Cai Ping will not harm us. She has a longer-term vision than us."

Aunt Ye also agreed.

Sanquan's wife didn't dare to speak.

Wuquan's wife said shyly, "Dad...my brother is out, so there must be a vacant position in the workshop. Can Wuquan go?"

There were three brothers in the family. The first two worked in the workshop, and only her husband did not have a proper job.

Sanquan's wife got anxious when she heard this: "My husband is out, but I'm still here! If someone really needs to take over, it should be me!"

As he said this, he glanced at Wuquan's wife.

Wuquan's wife pursed her lips, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes.

Second Uncle Ye glared at him: "What are you arguing about! I opened the workshop? You can take over whoever you want at any time. Caiping will make all the arrangements."

The two daughters-in-law then shut up.

…

Ye Erquan went to Zhao Tieniu's house and told him what had happened.

Tie Niu's wife laughed happily: "Okay, okay, the boy's father will go with you tomorrow."

Zhao Tieniu was not at all conflicted because it was Tieniu's wife who was working in the workshop.

Even if it was Tie Niu who was in the workshop, he would be asked to go out, and Tie Niu's wife would also agree.

In her opinion, Ye Caiping is a capable person and the decisions she makes will never be wrong.

In the afternoon, the workshop was also busy.

In addition to shipping and collecting payments, there are also many new merchants coming to place orders.

Ye Caiping didn't go there, so she had to give Zhao Fan space to display his skills.

Soon it was evening and everyone in the workshop had gone to work.

Zhao Fan hasn't arrived yet.

Ye Caiping sat in the study: "Xiaoyan."

"Hey." Xiaoyan ran in.

"Go to the workshop and take a look. Why hasn't Zhao Fan arrived yet?"

"good."

Yang Xiaoyan ran out in a hurry.

She went out from the side door and just opened the back door when her nose suddenly hurt and she bumped into Zhao Fan.

Their faces turned red, and they quickly pushed each other away and turned their backs.

Thinking of something to hand over, Xiaoyan said in embarrassment: "You are here just now... Auntie is waiting for you."

Zhao Fan blushed and tilted his head, not daring to look at her. He handed over the account book and a box: "Sorry, I'm a little late because there are too many accounts."

The box is the payment received today.

Xiaoyan took the things, turned around and ran away.

Zhao Fan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a velvet flower that looked like a crabapple on the ground. It seemed... to be Miss Xiaoyan's.

He picked it up and wanted to chase after the man to return it, but when he thought of the embarrassing scene just now, he was too embarrassed to go.

After thinking about it, I had no choice but to take it and leave.

But after leaving the workshop, he regretted it. Why did he just pick it up and leave? It’s better not to pick it up. When Miss Xiaoyan finds out it’s missing, she will naturally come to look for it.

But now I want to go back, the workshop is closed.

He went to the house specially to return the money. If it was Miss Xiaoyan who opened the door, wouldn't she blame him for being impatient?

This velvet flower has become a hot potato.

Thinking of this, he clapped his hands. He was really irritated!

…

Xiaoyan handed the account book and the box to Ye Caiping.

"Hey, why is Xiaoyan's face red?" Ye Caiping said with a smile, "Her nose is red too."

"No... I just accidentally bumped into the door panel and it hurts a little." Xiaoyan rubbed her nose.

"Do you want to ask Doctor Zhao to take a look?"

Xiaoyan's face turned even redder: "No need..."

She had just bumped into Doctor Zhao's son, so how could she feel comfortable going to his house?
