Chapter 50 Contract
Li Xiaoshu and Li Xiaoshan were silent for a long time. He seemed to have made some important decision: "I am willing to sign the indenture!"
Li Xiaoshan hurriedly shouted, "Brother, I'll sign if anyone wants to. I'm young, so I'll sign!"
These days, signing a contract to sell one's body means handing over one's life to the master, and the master has the power of life and death over the slave.
Xie Shuangbai looked at the two of them and said, "Think about it carefully. This is not a trivial matter."
"Once you sign, you will be mine. I will give you the secret recipe. There will be other secret recipes in the future, and I will give them to you as well."
It’s not that Xie Shuangbai is cruel, he really doesn’t dare to test human nature.
No one can guarantee that after seeing huge benefits, they can still resist temptation.
The Li brothers looked at each other and said firmly:
“Let’s sign together!”
Xie Shuangbai said, "Don't worry. I won't let you do anything that's against the will of heaven or morality. I won't beat you or starve you. As long as you work hard and remain loyal, your children can be freed from slavery."
The Li brothers felt that this was a blessing from heaven. They had signed an indenture agreement and were slaves for generations. They never expected that Mr. Xie would allow their children to escape from slavery.
The two became more determined: "Let's sign."
Hei Dou was jealous and came over and said excitedly: "I want to sign too!"
Xie Shuangbai looked at Hei Dou speechlessly and said, "Why are you so excited about selling yourself into slavery?"
Xie Shuangbai really didn't know what to say to Hei Dou. He felt that there was something crazy about Hei Dou.
Hei Dou didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all, and was even excited: "I'm happy to be your slave!"
Xie Shuangbai: "..."
Hei Dou happily pulled Hei Nuo over to sign the indenture contract together.
The next day, when Xie Shuangbai went to the yamen to handle documents, he had four servants.
Xie Shuangbai didn't like calling them slaves, he was more accustomed to calling them employees.
He held up the deed and said:
"Although you have signed a contract to sell your bodies, I am not a black-hearted boss. I will give you two taels of silver every month. Xiaoshu and Xiaoshan will live in the town from now on. I will provide all your food and accommodation, as well as clothes for all seasons. If you do a good job, you will also receive a red envelope at the end of the year.
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I don't want you to sign a contract but not be fully committed. I want people who work for me wholeheartedly."
Li Xiaoshu knew that this opportunity could not be missed, especially since they had already signed the contract.
He stated, "Master, Xiaoshan and I will definitely do our best!"
Li Xiaoshan followed closely behind his brother and said, "I will also serve the master well."
Xie Shuangbai nodded: "Okay, from now on you can just call me the boss."
Xie Shuangbai was really not used to the word "master".
"Then you guys go back and pack up first, we'll go to town in the next two days."
"Okay, boss, let's go back first."
"Okay, come to my house for breakfast tomorrow."
Brother Li Xiaoshu left, leaving only Hei Dou, Wang Yun and the Wang brothers.
As the order volume increases, Xie Shuangbai also needs to discuss production capacity with the Wang brothers. He said:
"Brother Wang, wait until I open a tofu shop in town, and then we can take small orders in our village. This way, the pressure on you will be less.
You can continue to buy beans. In the future, ask buyers to take beans as much as possible, or half and half. If that doesn't work, then charge money."
"Understood!" The Wang brothers said and went out to arrange the work. There were a lot of orders recently and they had to work overtime to catch up.
Only Wang Yun and Hei Dou were left in the room.
Wang Yun took out 14 taels of silver from his pocket for the 7,000 kilograms of tofu that Zamon had given him.
"Boss, this is the money for the 7,000 kilograms of tofu that Brother Zamon bought today."
Xie Shuangbai didn't look at the silver. He praised Wang Yun:
"Wang Yun, you did a great job this time. After they place their order, I'll count the quantity and then settle your commission for this trip."
"I'm not worried about Mr. Qian, I... I..."
Wang Yun was a little anxious. He couldn't explain what was going on. Seeing that the Li brothers and the Hei brothers and sisters had signed the contract, he seemed to have suddenly become the farthest away from the Dong family.
This frightened him, he liked his boss, liked learning from him, liked that he could understand him.
The boss has four loyal servants, but what about him?
Xie Shuangbai saw that Wang Yun was very anxious and asked, "Wang Yun, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Yun said in a low voice, somewhat depressed: "I don't know, I just feel like I'm getting farther away from you, Master."
He lowered his head and tugged at the corner of his clothes. He didn't look happy about making money on this trip, but instead felt a deep sense of loss.
Hei Dou didn't quite understand Wang Yun's emotions, and suddenly said, "You sign the contract too."
Xie Shuangbai was amused by Hei Dou, and he explained:
"Hei Dou, you think selling your body is a good thing, but most people in this world don't think selling their body is a good thing."
Wang Yun quickly said, "Actually, I want to sign it, but I'm afraid of my mother..."
Xie Shuangbai shook his head: "Actually, it's okay if you don't sign. You're not involved in the secret recipe. We can sign an employment contract."
"But...but I always feel that I am not as close to you as they are."
Xie Shuangbai knew that the child was a little insecure, so he patted his head and said, "You two do different things, but you are both my good helpers."
"Then what can I do? You just said you don't want salesmen anymore!" Wang Yun was a little anxious.
"I don't want any more. You're enough for me. You can feel it when you go out this time. The acceptance of tofu is very high. What I told you before still counts. As long as the people who come here today purchase a certain amount of goods, you will receive a continuous commission."
"Actually, this trip is enough for you to buy a big house, but I know you want more than that."
Wang Yun said excitedly: "I want to travel all over Dayin, Nanzhao, and the barbarians for my boss."
Xie Shuangbai looked at Wang Yun, who was only 1.6 meters tall. His expression was serious and solemn, and he couldn't help but joked:
"I believe you can do it, but there's no need to rush. You have to grow as tall as me first!"
Wang Yun blushed when Xie Shuangbai said that, and he swore that he would grow tall!
Xie Shuangbai looked at him and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. The main content of your contract is to help me expand my business. The commission will be calculated based on the orders. The benefits are also clothes for all seasons. If you do a good job, you will get a red envelope at the end of the year. Is there anything else you want to add?"
Wang Yun shook his head: "I don't want any commission from the boss. I just want the same as them. Two taels of silver a month is enough. Without the boss, I wouldn't be where I am today. Everything the boss sells is easy to sell. In fact, with me or not, the Great Yin Dynasty will be famous!"
Wang Yun knew that it was these two taels of silver that he took advantage of his boss. If his boss had not given him the opportunity, how could he have gotten so much money? Two taels was a sum he had never dared to think about before.
Xie Shuangbai encouraged him, "But with you, it will be faster. From now on, you and Hei Dou will receive 5 taels of silver per month. I will pay for all the clothes and goods you need for the four seasons. There will also be a red envelope at the end of the year."
Xie Shuangbai looked at Hei Dou again, thinking that he had no place to live, but it was not convenient for him to live there or for the village chief.
He asked, "Wang Yun, if Hei Dou comes to live in your house in the future, will it be convenient?"
Wang Yun thought about it and felt that it was no problem. He could sleep in a room by himself and it wouldn't affect his mother.
"It's convenient for the host, but we have to squeeze into one bed."
Hei Douyan looked at Wang Yun calmly: "I don't mind."
Seeing that everything was settled, Xie Shuangbai smiled and said, "Okay, Heidou, I'll ask Daya to get you a quilt later. You can go back with Wang Yun tonight, and you two can come to my house for breakfast tomorrow."
After all this trouble, it was already dark.
After dinner, Xie Shuangbai called Xie Qiushi over and instructed him, "Da Ya can hand over all the bean sprout growing techniques to Hei Nu from now on, but you must tell her that the techniques must not be leaked. She's still young, and I'm worried she won't be able to tell the difference, so you guys should be careful."
"I understand, bro."
He thought about it and said, "Daya, you will be in charge of the bean sprouts from now on."
Xie Qiushi nodded: "Okay, brother."
Xie Shuangbai saw that everything had been explained. "Okay, let's all go to bed early. After we're done with these few days, let's go relax."
