It's not difficult to convince Bai Shu. He is still in Class B and just needs to make up for the lessons. It won't delay anything.
If you spare an hour every day, you can earn a little money, and no one would refuse it.
The problem now is Hua Baoer.
"Sister Baoer, the seniors in Class A make 5 taels a month, and the seniors in Class B make 1 tael each. What do you think?" Zhang Dandan said to Tonghua Baoer as he was standing at the door.
"5 taels? That's too expensive!" Hua Baoer whispered.
Zhang Dandan agreed, "It is indeed expensive, but Class A is the imperial examination class, and time is of the essence for senior brothers nowadays, so charging 5 taels is reasonable."
"That won't work. You can ask them to charge less." Hua Baoer said.
Zhang Dandan laughed and said, "In fact, it's just a promotion from Class D to Class C. The seniors in Class B are enough. There's no need to spend that extra money. Sister Xiyu, don't you think so?"
"Miss always uses the best." Hua Xiyu explained to him.
Zhang Dandan advised again, "A good person may not necessarily be suitable. Look at the two seniors in Class A. They have stern faces all day long and look difficult to talk to. On the contrary, Senior Bai in Class B is gentle and polite, and speaks in a gentle and soft voice. This kind of person is perfect for teaching."
"Aren't there two in Class B?" Hua Xiyu asked.
Zhang Dandan explained, "Sister Xiaoyu is busy embroidering and has no time to do this. Otherwise, she is quite suitable. Looking at her appearance, she will definitely not curse."
Hua Baoer sighed and said, "Alright, let's go with the one from Class B. If his ability is not up to par, change him immediately."
"The one in Class B doesn't take the imperial examination, so charging one tael is too expensive. How about you negotiate the price?"
Hua Xiyu did some calculations. The school did not charge tuition, but only 1 tael per month for food and lodging. He was just a student in Class B, but they still dared to charge 1 tael per month, which was really too much.
Zhang Dandan looked embarrassed and said, "Sister Baoer, what do you think is a suitable price? I can negotiate, but you have to give me the bottom price."
Hua Baoer and Hua Xiyu looked at each other.
Hua Xiyu gritted her teeth and said, "500 Wen."
Zhang Dandan: “…” Half and half, you really know how to chop.
"My two sisters, the seniors in Class B are also seniors, so they should get at least 800 Wen?" Zhang Dandan said.
Hua Baoer was about to nod, but Hua Xiyu stopped her and said, "600 wen at most, no more!"
Zhang Dandan was about to ask for 700 coins, but before he could finish his words, Hua Xiyu interrupted him, "600 coins, if it works, it works, if it doesn't, forget it!"
Hua Baoer, "..."
Zhang Dandan said with a bitter face, "Okay, I'll go to my senior brother and lobby him. Sister Xiyu, you can really give me a difficult problem."
After leaving school, Zhang Dandan came to the Song family again.
Seeing his tired face, Song Yuehua asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to solicit business." Zhang Dandan sat down and took a rest.
Song Yuehua poured him a cup of tea and asked with a smile, "What kind of business are you trying to attract?"
Zhang Dandan said seriously, "Sister Song, you can earn 20 taels with just one word, do you want to do it?"
This familiar rhetoric seems familiar!
"Manager Hua has a girl who wants to learn embroidery from Madam Nie. The salary is 80 taels a year, 60 taels for Madam Nie and 20 taels for Sister Song. Are you tempted?" Zhang Dandan gestured with his fingers.
It's just like a piece of cake falling from the sky. Who can resist 20 taels of silver?
Xiaoyu has to go to class during the day, and Madam Nie is free anyway. As long as she agrees, it will be a win-win situation for both parties and she can also make some money back. Song Yuehua certainly has no objection.
But she was still curious, "What about you?"
Anyone who can discover this kind of business opportunity will never let himself suffer a loss.
Zhang Dandan confessed honestly, "Shopkeeper Hua gave me five taels and asked me to persuade Madam Nie and Sister Song."
Song Yuehua laughed and said, "After I get the money, I will also give you three taels of hard work fee. I can't let you suffer a loss here."
"Thank you, Sister Song!" Zhang Dandan said with a surprised smile.
It was almost dinner time. Song Yuehua wanted to keep some food for him. Zhang Dandan waved his hand and said, "Master's wife cooked my meal. I should go back now."
At this point, things are almost settled.
After dinner, Zhang Dandan returned to his room, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Seeing that he was so tired that he didn't even take off his shoes, Bian Wu went over to help him take off his shoes, and then helped cover him with the quilt before returning to his desk.
The next day, after school, Hua Baoer gave Zhang Dandan 600 wen, and he directly gave 300 wen to Bai Shu.
Bai Shu was dumbfounded when he received the copper coins.
Zhang Dandan said with a smile, "It's 600 Wen in total, you take half and I take half. Don't think I'm taking too much, after all, I spent a lot of time and effort."
"How could that be!" Bai Shu asked hurriedly.
Originally he thought 50 wen would be enough, but later Dandan said at least 200 wen, so the amount he got became 300 wen. What else could he complain about?
If it weren't for Zhang Dandan, he wouldn't have earned a penny.
Bai Shu stayed in the lecture hall to give a lecture to Hua Baoer. Hua Xiyu wanted to go in to listen, but was stopped by Zhang Dandan, "Sister Xiyu, one fee can only be paid for one person to attend the class. If you want to go in, you have to pay more."
"More money!"
Hua Xiyu said angrily, "You are crazy about money, right? I am just going in to serve my lady, why would you add extra money?"
Zhang Dandan argued in a low voice, "Sister Xiyu, don't be angry. The teacher also said that everyone is equal in the academy, and there is no such thing as a young lady. If you enter this door and ask a question, will Senior Brother Bai still not answer you?"
"How about this? As long as Sister Baoer is willing, you can add another 200 coins and I will let my senior brother teach you two at the same time."
"Humph!" Hua Xiyu thought of the young lady in class, and lowered her voice and said sternly, "You little rascal, don't even think about cheating the young lady out of a penny again!"
