During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.

But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...

Chapter 269 Western Building Blocks Become Popular in the Capital

"Forget it, for He Xuan's sake, we will definitely help you."

"Was this idea Hexuan came up with? He really is your son. Look at this one of mine, he's only one year younger than Hexuan, and all he does every day is eat and play!"

"If he wasn't so playful, wouldn't someone make building blocks for him?" Mrs. Qin said modestly, "What child of his age wouldn't be so playful?"

"But Hexuan, who loves to play, can make a business out of it. My guy can do nothing but cause trouble."

At this time, there were six or seven boxes of finished building blocks accumulated in Linglong Pavilion, and the patterns on the boxes had also been painted.

Although all the apprentices of the construction supervisor had gone back, the shopkeeper, under Qin Hexuan's instructions, invited several carpenters back to do the most basic cutting and polishing work, which greatly increased the speed at which Ye Laosan and Brother Wang made building blocks.

However, those people were placed in the side rooms to work, while Ye Lao San and Brother Wang were in the main room.

Brother Wang was drawing patterns on the box and said, "Third brother, we have made so many building blocks, and we don't know how much we will be paid in the end.

Ye Laosan had always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Brother Wang about wages. After all, the two of them had a good relationship, and it was he who asked him to come along.

If I keep the wages a secret and Brother Wang finds out about it later, the friendship between the two of us will probably be over.

"Brother Wang, actually I wanted to tell you about this before!" Ye Lao San carefully chose his words and told him that Young Master Qin wanted to cooperate with him, but did not mention the profit sharing ratio between the two parties.

"That's the thing. According to Young Master Qin's wishes, I will pay your wages.

"I don't know how much these blocks will sell for, but I'm thinking of giving you 10% of the total profit. What do you think?"

Brother Wang received too much information in a short period of time and was unable to digest it for a while.

He originally thought that both he and Ye Lao San were called in to do the work, but now he knows that Ye Lao San and Young Master Qin are actually partners. He can't help but feel a little disappointed, and even feels like he has been deceived.

But on second thought, if Ye Lao San hadn't called him in the first place, he wouldn't even have gotten this job, and how could he have had the chance to think about it here?

Moreover, the fact that several apprentices from the construction supervisor came to work here also had a big impact on him. After all, no matter whether it was sanding or painting, they did it well and quickly, and any one of them could completely replace him.

However, not only did Ye Lao San not despise him, he was even willing to give him a share of the profits when Young Master Qin thought that he only needed to be paid wages. This was already very commendable.

Brother Wang thought to himself that since Ye Lao San was cooperating with Young Master Qin, and they were now eating and living in his store, Young Master Qin would definitely get the lion's share of the business.

It would be great if Ye Laosan could get 30% or 40%.

In this situation, since he is still willing to give me a portion, I shouldn't care about it anymore.

Because in his opinion, if a box of building blocks could be sold for two taels of silver, it would be a great deal.

However, Young Master Qin has very high requirements for building blocks. He uses good wood and high-quality paint. So when you calculate it this way, the profit doesn't seem to be that high.

Don't even expect a 10% profit.

But after some rough calculation, he thought that he should still earn more than working in the carpentry workshop.

And before returning home at the end of the year, the host will most likely give you a red envelope.

A wealthy family like the Qin family shouldn't be too stingy when spending money.

After Ye Lao San finished speaking, he kept waiting for Brother Wang's reaction.

As a result, the other party didn't say anything for a long time.

"If you feel there's something wrong, we can discuss it again."

Brother Wang was brought back to his senses by his words and said hurriedly: "Brother Ye, this is already very good, I don't know how to thank you!

"After all, you can find someone else to do this job, it doesn't have to be me. I'm already very touched that you're thinking of your brothers at this time.

"Don't worry, I'll do as you say. I have no objection."

After hearing what he said, Ye Laosan's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

Although he didn't know how much the building blocks could be sold for, he guessed from Young Master Qin's intention that they would not be sold too cheaply, so this profit distribution should not be too unfair to Brother Wang.

The two of them stayed in the house working every day, one painting and the other making boxes, and they were very busy.

He had no idea that there was a huge commotion outside over this box of building blocks.

A few days after Mrs. Qin entertained the guests, she delivered the exquisite building blocks to each mansion.

After receiving the gifts from her, especially such exquisite and rare items, the ladies worked really hard to help her promote the matter, not to mention that the children also liked them from the bottom of their hearts.

Families with many children were arguing over a box of building blocks. I had no choice but to send someone to Linglong Pavilion to order a few more boxes, hoping that every child would have one.

People in Beijing love to follow trends.

Whether it is the preferences of the nobles in the palace or the trends of some wealthy families, they are all what the aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen like to imitate.

Now, a new type of Western building blocks suddenly appeared and quickly spread throughout the capital.

Coupled with the help of those ladies in promoting the brand, people from all over Beijing's toy stores, big and small, started asking, "Do you sell Western building blocks?"

At first, the shop owners were just confused: "What are Western building blocks? Our shop doesn't have them, and we've never heard of such a rare thing."
