Chapter 605: That virtue, it would be strange not to quarrel
Next, Ye Yuran is mainly busy with building a new house.
From choosing the foundation to how to build the yard and what materials to use, she followed the entire process.
Building a house in the countryside is very simple, just find a few experienced house builders, and then find a few more villagers to help build the house together.
A journeyman means he has built houses before, but he is not necessarily a professional.
As for the people in the village, as long as they are not particularly young, many have experienced helping others build houses in their lives.
After all, people live at the beginning of the village and at the end of the village. Either I will build your house or you will build mine. There are very few people who can afford professional "masons".
But this time, the house Ye Yuran wanted to build was a bit special, so she had to hire one or two professional "masters" to help.
As for other experienced people and young people, they all work for the "master".
Building a house is a great joyous event. Except for the Lin family, Liu family, Liu family, and Li family who have severed ties with their natal family, they all informed their natal family and asked one or two people to come over and help.
Coupled with the several sons of the Zhu family, there was not enough manpower, so we asked the villagers for help.
"Master Zhang, I'm sorry to trouble you." Ye Yuran was very polite and asked Mrs. Liu to make some herbal tea every day and deliver it to the new house several times a day.
"It's no trouble, it's all as it should be." Master Zhang took the herbal tea handed to him, feeling a little embarrassed.
As craftsmen, their status is extremely low, and they can only get some respect in rural areas.
If you really get to the town, it will be considered a "low-grade" thing and people will look down upon it.
But no matter how polite others are, they will never come over and show concern like Ye Yuran from time to time.
Also coming to work with Master Zhang was his senior brother Zeng.
Although he is a senior, Brother Zeng broke his leg while working when he was young. He is unable to do some physical work and many employers are unwilling to hire him.
But you still have to eat, and Master Zhang can't stand it. When he gets a job, he will bring one to Brother Zeng if he can.
Ye Yuran doesn't mind if Brother Zeng's legs and feet are not so flexible. Anyway, he can do the work he needs to do, as long as he can do the work in hand clearly.
Moreover, she did not leave this job to Brother Zeng alone. Whether she did it well or not, there was Master Zhang in front of her.
In addition to the two of them, they also each brought an apprentice.
When the house was being built, people from the village would come over from time to time to watch the fun.
The one that comes most often is the big mouth.
She looked at the foundation that the Zhu family was digging and felt envious: "Ms. Zhu, your life is better now. You even built a new house."
"Yes, in this life, don't you just want to eat more comfortably, dress more comfortably, and live more comfortably?" When Ye Yuran saw her, it was like what happened before had never happened, and he continued to follow her.
Nacai said, "I am getting old. If I don't build a new house, I will be buried in the ground and I won't be able to enjoy it for a day."
"You can still enjoy it, but it's even worse for me. I didn't even see the shadow of the new house." Big Mouth wanted to touch on the thing that was on his mind, so he asked tentatively, "I heard that your family plans to go with
Is it true that people in the village cooperate in doing business?”
"What kind of cooperative business? Are you talking about purchasing goods?" Ye Yuran said with a smile, "Yes, it's true. This matter is easy to handle. Go to Li Zheng, the clan leader, to sign a contract, and then you can
Come to my place to buy goods, and sell them all over the place. The purpose of doing business is to make peace and make money."
When Big Mouth heard this, he was a little excited: "That's right, doing business is not just about being friendly and making money. Aunt Zhu, you are not an ordinary person with such a big heart. You deserve to make money."
First, he praised Ye Yuran very much, and then started to test again, asking if there were any special requirements for doing business together.
For example, you need someone to be rich, or you need someone to be able to do business.
"There are no requirements," Ye Yuran said, "As long as you pay for my goods, you can sell them however you like. Whether you make a profit or lose money has nothing to do with me. But the ugly thing is up front, this is business
Ah, sometimes it depends on talent. Some people can make money, and some people can't. If they really don't make money, we can't blame our Zhu family. After all, it's not our Zhu family who forced him to do business."
"That's the reason," Big Mouth laughed, "but I think doing business is actually not difficult. That boy Zhu Xingwang, his mother-in-law went out to do business, carrying a load everywhere.
I heard that I made a lot of money by running away."
"What did you hear? Who did you hear it from?" Ye Yuran smiled half-heartedly.
Zhu Xingwang and his mother-in-law knew that she bought goods from Li.
She also asked Mr. Li to give some advice on where to sell it and how to sell it.
These days, it is actually somewhat unsafe for women to carry baskets and sell them everywhere.
So she suggested that the other party should not run too far, run to a village with relatives, sit under a big locust tree or a big willow tree at the entrance of the village, and don't move when his throat gets louder.
Don't go alone. It's better to make appointments with three, four or five people. Each one buys different goods and can be a companion.
"There are more people, and it seems like I am making less money by myself, but everyone sells differently. When others come to buy, they buy theirs, why don't they bring some of yours?"
"Even if I don't take your family with me, at least you are safe. Men are not allowed to do business in our village. Even if we women want to make some money, we must first ensure our own safety."
"No matter how good it is, no one can come safely."
…
Li's mouth is very good at talking, and she can talk about life and death.
Leave this matter to her. Every old woman or aunt who comes to Zhu's house to purchase goods will be taught a course on "safety education" by her.
A group of several women would set up a stall, just like setting up a "mobile stall".
Go to this village today, go to that village tomorrow, make a few more trips, and you'll get out of the pattern.
Those with better luck will soon be able to fix a few fixed points and make appointments with people in the village as to what goods they will bring next time.
Zhu Xingwang's mother-in-law was like this. She took three or five aunts with her, and over the course of half a month, she made several reservations and made "appointments" for several batches of goods.
After deciding on these points, I also ran to Li Zheng and made a note with the clan leader to remind others not to bring the same goods there again.
Since we all belong to the same village, we can't compete for the market, right?
Some "rules" were gradually established among the first group of crab eaters.
Ye Yuran later went to Li Zheng, the clan leader, and suggested: "Since it is a 'rule', my suggestion is, if you can write it down in black and white, then write it down so that everyone can understand it and avoid this dispute in the future.
, that fight, cause conflicts.”
Soon, Li Zheng, the clan leader absorbed Ye Yuran's advice and began to establish "rules".
Therefore, traders who come to "make a contract" with them must not only abide by the provisions of the contract, but also memorize the "rules", not to mention that they will refuse to recognize it if they don't know it in the future.
Li Zheng, the patriarch also has his own methods for dealing with these old women in his village. Ye Yuran doesn't need to worry about it at all. He can just deal with it as he wants.
