The smile on Chen Laowu's face remained unchanged, his eyes were always friendly and unkind, and this expression was welded to his face like a mask.
People, when they wear a mask for so long, they start to believe it’s real.
Chen Laowu agreed with a smile, his tone open-minded and understanding, "Yes, that's what you said!"
"But a single tree cannot make a forest. We all know how successful Chen Ji has been in Jing County this year. I don't believe you if you say you didn't contribute!"
Chen Laowu rested his hand on his forehead, twisting the wine cup between his fingers, and shook his head with a smile, "Without you old sparrows, how could that little chick fly? I heard that the little chick went to visit the residence of Governor Xiong two nights ago, and returned to Xuancheng Prefecture, but did not go back to the Chen family to pay his respects to his sister-in-law..."
Chen Laowu clapped his hands and said with regret, "Tell me, what does this mean in the eyes of my sister-in-law? Isn't it just that his wings are strong enough to fly?"
Manager Dong chewed some peanuts and drank some wine. "Does this mean that the old lady sent you to tighten the leather for the Jingxian workshop?"
Chen Laowu leaned back, with a kind smile on his chubby face, "That's not the case, but think about it, the Chen family still needs her now. If one day the Chen family no longer needs her, wouldn't you, Lao Li, and the other gentlemen here have followed the wrong person? Have you stood on the wrong line?"
Manager Dong looked calm and composed as a mountain, eating peanuts very steadily.
Following the wrong person?
Hey, brother!
He is almost fifty!
What team is he on now?
Now he has three stripes on his sleeves, earns twenty taels of silver a month, provides food and lodging, and has a few young men who listen to his orders. In a year, he can save up two hundred taels of silver...
He may even not show up in the store every day!
Jin Jieer said, "It's better to be absent without a heart than to be present. For those who have more than two bars, we will implement the rubber band system and work flexibly. If you have completed your tasks and have nothing to do, you can come or not. If you come, I will give you a meal! If you haven't completed your tasks, you can come or not. Anyway, I only care about the results. If you fail to complete it once, I won't say anything. If you fail to complete it twice, you will be directly deducted from the bar!"
Although he didn't quite understand what the rubber band system was, he understood what was said next.
As long as you can complete the task, it doesn't matter if you are not in the store all day.
He had only two tasks - to stand in the store and keep things in order, and to act as a salesperson when Xianjin was too busy; and to be responsible for cleaning the account books of the two stores.
For the former, Xianjin did not stipulate the amount of goods he had to sell; for the latter, since the settlement was made on a daily basis, his busy days were only the five or six days each month when he paid wages, entered accounts, and processed bill numbers.
At other times, he was a free bird, flying happily into the arms of the bird god.
Doesn’t this smell good!
Isn’t it delicious?
This is not much different from his ideal life in his later years!
Even if, even if, Jin Jie'er gets married in the future, she will be useless to the Chen family. Don't you see that the masters of the Chen family are very fond of this girl, especially Chen Erlang. He often sees Chen Erlang going in and out of the library, not looking at anything, but staring at the cramped tile houses in the southeast corner of the inner courtyard...
Who knows, he, and his future generations, may have to call this girl "Second Grandma"!
Okay, okay, let's take a step back. Even if Jin Jie'er can't marry into the Chen family in the future, she still has two or three years to work for the Chen family. That's two hundred taels a year, and six hundred taels in three years, which is enough for her.
The most important thing is that Jin Jie'er is a real and sociable person. When there is a problem, she is really helpful. She not only solves the problem, but also solves the person who created the problem. She can ensure that he has enough food to eat, and also ensure that he has enough food every day.
He will still do the math on this, from emotions to money, from work intensity to job requirements.
Manager Dong chewed peanuts slowly.
Peanuts, fragrant.
Then he spoke slowly, "According to what Master Wu said, which side should we stand on? Which person should we follow? What should we do? It's not wrong?"
Master Chen Wu narrowed his eyes, looked down upon the expression on Manager Dong's face when he said this, smiled with regret, and patted his mouth lightly, "Look at my mouth, I always say nonsense." He turned the words around and sighed, "You also know who killed Lao Liu, Lao Liu deserved to die, but I am his brother after all, don't I unconsciously have some prejudice when I see that girl? Since she is so good, next time, I will host her and invite her to be the guest of honor. Lao Dong, you have to be the guest!"
Manager Dong smiled, picked up the wine cup, and took the initiative to touch Master Chen Wu's cup, "Okay, you talk, and I'll keep you company."
Master Chen Wu raised his head and drank the wine, revealing the bottom of the cup with a smile, then turned around and went on to talk to someone else.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill and paid the bill, Master Chen Wu sent Steward Dong back home. "...You are an old man, and you are the oldest. I am worried about you! Don't freeze to death on the street. Let me go to the government office to identify you tomorrow! Let Lu'er take you back!"
Manager Dong's face was drunk and he waved his hands with a flushed face. He leaned against Master Chen Wu's side, turned around and walked back. Naturally, he missed the scene of Master Chen Wu leaning over and hooking his arms around Li Sanshun's neck.
"Shun'er..." Master Chen Wu hooked his arm around Li Sanshun's neck and kissed him warmly under the influence of alcohol, like brothers from the same mother, "Have you made the Liuzhang Xuan?"
Li Sanshun's alcohol reeked from his throat to the top of his head, and was about to overflow from all his orifices.
Paper-making masters usually don’t drink alcohol. If they drink too much, their hands will shake.
I couldn't wipe my face today, so I had to drink two glasses.
Two cups are not a lot, but no one told him that one cup is one ounce!
Li Sanshun was about to answer when a surge of sour and surging air like a tidal wave rose up from his stomach.
