People who maintain their health do not drink alcohol. Everyone knows that Xianjin drinks wolfberry water, but no one dares to force Xianjin to change the wine.
While the atmosphere was still good, Madam Qu smiled and used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of vegetarian chicken for Xianjin, "...Did you go to the Jixi workshop today?"
Xianjin took the bowl with both hands and replied "yes" with a smile.
Madam Qu smiled and said, "Da Mao was born in a farming family and has never seen the world. He has a lot to learn about how to behave, but he has a kind heart. You are the old housekeeper, so you should take care of him when you go."
A thirty-year-old child and a sixteen-year-old steward.
Xianjin responded with a smile without saying a word.
Chen Laowu's words came at the right time, "How about going to see it today? Jixi Workshop is the largest industry of our Chen family in Xuancheng. Although the place is a bit remote, there are great opportunities to show our strength."
Old, dilapidated and big can be summed up in one word.
Xianjin still said nothing.
Chen Laowu smiled and curved his eyebrows, and continued, "Look, when our shopkeeper He left, he fired the old guy who had worked hard for the Chen family for eight years. He is really good at boxing."
Xianjin lowered his head and took a bite of the vegetarian chicken.
It’s pretty good, very chewy, and has a strong sauce flavor, like a sponge full of soup that bursts out with unknown potential under the pressure of the mouth.
After swallowing it in one gulp, Xian Jinfang raised his head and nodded, "Firing someone is nothing... Third Master is going to tear down the entire shop and rebuild it, tearing down what needs to be torn down, repairing what needs to be repaired, and patching up what needs to be fixed."
The chicken leg in Chen Fu’s mouth no longer smelled good:... Was this... my idea?
Xianjin continued, "We are going to use better pear wood for the front store, build a temperature-controlled dry warehouse in the backyard, dismantle the pool and water diversion channel and rebuild them, dig a well, and build a few rows of bungalows for future use - basically, it can be regarded as creating waves out of nothing."
Demolish the shop?
Reinstall?
After being stunned for a moment, Mr. Qu looked at Chen Laowu first, then at Xianjin, and after careful consideration, he said, "Fixing an employee is a small matter, but rebuilding a shop, wouldn't that be too...exaggerating?"
Capitalists, even town capitalists, try to do the most with the least money.
Selling a shop and rebuilding it is essentially consuming the owner's stored food.
Chen Laowu smiled and said, "It's a good thing that the young girl is ambitious and ambitious."
Chen Laowu wiped his mouth and said in a tone of planning and commanding, "Little girl, let me teach you - you have to calculate the accounts when doing business! This back and forth, in and out, according to your estimation, it will cost at least three or four hundred taels - repairing a house is a bottomless pit."
Deep down, Mrs. Qu didn't want to approve the money.
Everything is fine, why are you moving?
Trees cannot be moved frequently or their roots may die easily.
Before Madam Qu could speak, Xianjin took out a clean silk handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and wiped the corners of his mouth, then raised his eyes and smiled, "Not only that, we are even considering rebuilding the canal to divert the water from Longchuan Creek directly to the Jixi workshop. This is a bigger job, so we are prepared to spend 700 taels to do this - Third Master is generous, this money will not be paid from the public account, but directly from Third Master's private pocket."
Chen Fu's hands trembled.
His mysterious private room is the perfect place for money laundering...
Xianjin looked at Chen Laowu and smiled gratefully, "You know, Third Master got some unexpected money recently, it's a windfall, and he needs to spend it right away."
Of course Chen Laowu knew which money she was talking about!
The two thousand taels of gambling money that were swindled through Brother Huo!
His money!
Chen Laowu's heart was bleeding, but his expression did not change. He narrowed his eyes as if he was lost in thought, and after a while he said "Oh", "The third brother has always had good luck with money."
Madam Qu's face brightened slightly, and she looked at her young son with a complicated look, "After all, there has been some progress!"
Xianjin placed the chopsticks neatly in front of him, smiled and said to Madam Qu sincerely, "However, I just returned to Xuancheng, and the Third Master doesn't have many friends. I don't know if there is any acquaintance in our family who can take on this job?"
The construction worker is the contractor who does the decoration.
Chen Laowu's heart moved.
Madam Qu narrowed her eyes and thought for a while, but couldn't think of a candidate. She turned around and asked Chen Laowu, "...The several shops of our Chen family were all repaired by someone ten or twenty years ago. It is true that there has been no business in these years... You have been busy outside, do you have any recommendations?"
Chen Laowu glanced at Xianjin out of the corner of his eye.
A little girl, with some means, some brains, and some courage, but does she understand the work of construction?
Not to mention her, even he himself couldn't tell the difference between lime that costs thirty cents per stone and lime that costs sixty cents per stone!
Construction is a job that involves a lot of water and deep scheming, which only people in the industry can understand!
It just so happens that he is a humble man with some connections.
Chen Laowu smiled and said, "I do know a few people, but we are not very familiar with each other. When I am free one day, I will introduce them to Jin Jieer and help her arrange things for them."
