Chapter 8: Heading to the Temple Fair
Seeing the vigilance in Wang's eyes, he quickly continued: "I heard that Wang's sister-in-law can weave cloth. I want to open a weaving workshop. When the time comes, I also want to invite Wang's sister-in-law to work here. The wages will be paid daily. In addition,
, I also hope that Sister-in-law of the Wang family can help me find a group of workers who know how to weave. These things can be regarded as commissions."
Since Yunze is planning to open a weaving workshop of his own, of course he needs to find workers. Sister-in-law of the Wang family is the best candidate.
Not only can she weave, she often does odd jobs as a weaver, but she also knows many women who can weave. It should be easy for her to help her find a group of weavers.
In fact, weaving is not a difficult thing to do. As long as you are diligent and studious, you can master the skills in two days. However, what Yunze lacks is connections.
After all, he is known as a playboy and a prodigal, and he doesn't know many women. Compared to the Wang family's sister-in-law, recruiting people may be much more difficult.
He also didn't want to make a big fuss and put the Huang family on guard.
"Ah...younger brother Yunze, do you want to set up a weaving workshop? If this is true, then the recruitment will be left to me. I know many sisters-in-law who are good at weaving."
The Wang family's sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said to Yun Ze.
She thought Yunze was targeting her two children, but when she heard that Yunze wanted to build a weaving workshop, she was a little moved.
After all, she came from a womanly family, and it was really difficult for her to find a job to earn money. The four orphans and widowers in her family relied on her to do odd jobs and dig wild vegetables to survive.
If I could have a stable job, my family's life would be better.
Although Yunze was unreliable, Yunze's promise of daily payment made her think that she could give it a try.
Anyway, if Yunze doesn't pay, she and the others don't have to come the next day.
"Well, that's good. Don't worry, your wages will be paid daily. If not, you can quit at any time..." Yunze smiled slightly.
The matter of finding workers has been settled, and the next step is to make a loom and obtain capital.
"Um, brother Yunze, when can we start work?" When she heard that there was work to do, the Wang family's sister-in-law couldn't wait.
"In three days, I still have something to do. You can ask someone to come over in three days and help me recruit thirty people!" Yunze thought for a while and said to Wang's sister-in-law.
Hearing Yunze's words, Wang's sister-in-law hesitated a little, but she still nodded in agreement. At this time, she handed the things to Yunze.
However, Yunze blocked her again. This time, she did not refuse. After all, there were two little ones behind her watching eagerly. The family was indeed out of food.
After sending Wang's sister-in-law and her family away, Yunze picked up some wood and tinkered with it to make an easel. After explaining some things to Luo Yanniang, Yunze took Ye Chen and walked out.
At this time, although it is almost three o'clock, the temple fair is officially started, and the flow of people will increase. At night, it is the time when there are the most people.
Yunze asked Ye Chen to carry things on his back while he followed behind and walked towards Danyang Lake. On March 3rd, when the dragon raised its head, that place was the busiest, with various traditional performances.
There will also be many poetry societies holding poetry gatherings there, and people from the Huachuan Brothel holding oiran elections there. There are countless dignitaries, scholars and ladies who go there.
Girls are pregnant and scholars are passionate. These people are definitely the ones who make the most money.
"Brother, what are we going to do? You are taking these drawing things, don't you want to draw for others, but..." Ye Chen in front looked back at Yunze, his eyes full of doubts.
He remembered that Yunze didn't seem to know how to draw. If he questioned it later, he was a little embarrassed to say it.
"You'll know later..." Yunze didn't explain much, just smiled mysteriously at Ye Chen.
When Ye Chen heard this, he made a naive noise. Anyway, he was shameless and stayed with Yunze, as long as he had fun. He didn't bother to ask more questions.
Soon, the two of them arrived at Danyang Lake. The entire lake covered an area of about a thousand acres, and there was a small island in the center of the lake.
At this time, there were many flower boats and pavilions on the lake. Bursts of music came from the flower boats and pavilions, as well as the laughter of drinking and having fun.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Ye Chen's face showed excitement and excitement. He was eager to experience those flower boats and building boats.
On the shore of the lake, there are many pedestrians walking, and small stalls have been set up in many places, selling some gadgets and snacks. The entire Danyang Lake looks very lively.
There are seven or eight large piers by the lake. There are also many people gathered at the pier, and there are also many restaurants next to the lake.
Most of the restaurants are busy, but a small number of restaurants seem a bit deserted.
Yunze took Ye Chen to one of the most crowded piers and looked at the ladies, maids, and scholars waiting on the pier. A smile appeared on his face.
After placing the easel and laying out various paints, Yunze shouted loudly at the young ladies and gentlemen on the pier.
"Come and take a look, take a look. Professional painting, whether it is painting people or objects, is absolutely lifelike and exactly the same as real people. Twenty-two pieces per piece. If it's a lie, it's free... Dear gentlemen and ladies, hurry up.
Come and draw a picture, you can give it as a token of love to your lover!"
As soon as Yun Ze said these words, Ye Chen was stunned for a while. He didn't expect that Ye Chen actually came to paint and wanted to make money from it.
When he came back to his senses, excitement showed on his face.
"Brother, did we cheat a fortune and go to the gambling house to have a good time...these people's money seems to be easy to cheat!"
Hearing this, Yunze looked at Ye Chen with some amusement. This guy is really not afraid of the sky or the earth. Seeing how excited he is, he is excited because he is doing something outrageous.
"I'm lying to you. Just watch from the side and don't talk nonsense... If you're bored, go find some fun on your own..."
Yunze hit Ye Chen hard on the head and laughed at this guy. This guy can't think of him better. He cheated money, does he need it?
When Ye Chen heard this, he looked at Yun Ze with some aggrievedness and said softly. This kid really turned around and went to have some fun by himself.
There is fun everywhere here, but with his unwillingness to be lonely, there is no way he would stay here.
Yunze was also afraid that this guy would go gambling on his own, so he pulled him here.
After Ye Chen left, several curious men and women came over. Judging from their clothes, they were definitely from well-off families. They were all handsome and pleasant-looking.
As for the few young men who were following him, they all looked suave. One of them was holding a folding fan and looked like a human.
