Chapter 61
Li Yuezhu originally thought that the coppersmith would not come, but she unexpectedly showed up at her door today.
"Come in quickly. You've come so early. You must have missed breakfast." Li Yuezhu quickly led the coppersmith into the house: "Mother, mother, is there any rice in the pot? Let's warm it up quickly."
Li Yuezhu brought the coppersmith to the living room and quickly asked him to sit down.
"Actually, I came here last night. I saw that the time was too late and the door was not open, so I waited at the door all night." The blacksmith is also an honest man.
"What's the matter? If you need anything, just call the door. Why did you stay at the door all night?"
Mrs. Zhou brought over a bowl of noodles and the leftover kelp rolls from yesterday and put them on the table.
"The food in the village is not good, so you have to make do with it."
The coppersmith glanced at the bowl of noodles and swallowed. Li Yuezhu looked at him and said, "It's okay, just eat it. I will still rely on you in the future."
After listening to Li Yuezhu's words, the coppersmith picked up the big bowl and ate hungrily.
"My name is Wang Liquan. Does what Miss said that day still count now?" Wang Liquan asked impatiently after finishing the noodles in the bowl.
"Naturally, I promise you that in addition to paying you a fixed amount of two taels of silver every month, I will also give you an extra commission for every thing you make." Li Yuezhu answered Wang Liquan.
"That's really great. I still have a lot of small items there. Miss, let's see if you want them." Wang Liquan was a little excited. This is much better than setting up a street stall to sell pots and pans.
Li Yuezhu, who originally wanted to return to the village early, could only follow Wang Liquan to his house.
Wang Liquan's home was far away, in the poor Xicheng District. Fortunately, Li Yuezhu hired a horse-drawn carriage and went directly to Xicheng District.
This Xicheng District is indeed very different from the east. The houses become more shabby as you go west. Although they are not as good as the walls made of mud at Li Yuezhu's house, they are not much better.
"Here we are, my home is here, right here." Wang Liquan jumped off the carriage and led Li Yuezhu to his home.
There was a lot of charcoal placed at the door of his house, and there was a big pot and several huge hammers in the yard.
"The house is in ruins. Miss, please wait outside while I go in and take out all those things." Wang Liquan said to Li Yuezhu in a panic.
"Daddy, daddy is back, mom, daddy is back." A little boy poked his head in and ran inside cheeringly when he saw Wang Liquan coming back.
"I have three sons. It's because my youngest son is ignorant. Miss, don't blame me." Wang Liquan scratched his head and said a little embarrassed.
Li Yuezhu didn't take it seriously, seeing that the child was older and stronger than Xiao An.
After a while, a woman walked out of the room. The woman was also very tall and strong, measuring 1.8 meters tall, which surprised Li Yuezhu.
"Who is this..." When the woman came out and saw her husband standing with a little girl, she asked Wang Liquan who was standing aside.
"Yufen, this is the boss I'm talking about." Wang Liquan quickly introduced: "Miss, this is my wife. You don't have to be afraid. My father-in-law is a butcher of pigs. She grew up eating pork and became strong.
some."
After hearing Wang Liquan's words, Li Yuezhu politely greeted the lady.
"Ouch, why didn't our whole family tell me who the boss is? It turns out she is such a young girl. She is really amazing at such a young age!"
Wang Liquan sent his wife to receive the noble man, and he hurriedly entered the house and took out some of the handicrafts he had made.
When Wang Liquan came out, he carried a big baggage, which was full of small handicrafts he had made in the past few years.
Because this is a hobby, what he makes are small gadgets that can be played in his hands.
"Miss, look at these things, do you want them again?"
When I opened the bag and took a look, my dear, no wonder Wang Liquan liked making these ornaments so much. Most of the knickknacks in the bag had a source of income.
The copper gourd is lifelike, and the little chicken pecking at the rice is also extremely delicate. There are also three incense burners, so the workmanship is simple, but it also has a high texture when held in the hand.
Overall, Li Yuezhu is very satisfied. These small objects are all made by Wang Liquan based on things he sees in daily life. Although he lacks imagination, Li Yuezhu can still see Wang Liquan's exquisite craftsmanship from these things.
.
"I want all these things. In addition, I will give you another 200 yuan for each item. You can count how many ornaments you have at home."
"Hey, that's good!" Wang Liquan grinned, now he really didn't have to worry about eating or drinking.
"Thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two..." Wang Liquan's youngest son squatted on the ground and muttered. This child was about the same age as Li Yuezhu and should be almost ten years old.
"Miss, there are a total of thirty-five objects here. Do you want to count them again?"
"No need, just ask your dad to help me carry it to the carriage later."
Li Yuezhu walked around the yard again. When he saw Wang Liquan coming out of the house, he said to him: "After a while, I will draw some samples for you and send them over. During this time, you can use them freely. I hope
You can make some larger items next time you come."
Wang Liquan nodded quickly. He was also an honest man. Although he was not afraid of money biting his hands, his face burned with panic when he took the two hundred coins. He had taken the lady's two taels of silver before. Even if he took out these things
If you try to sell it individually, you won't be able to get it for 200 cents.
"This is seven taels of silver, which is the wages for the thirty-five items. We brothers will settle the accounts." Li Yuezhu also straightened his face and said to Wang Liquan seriously: "Because it is the first time I come to pick up the goods, I gave you the price.
It’s a little higher. From now on, the commission for small items like this will only be 50 cents. Of course, if you are creative and do well, you will be able to increase it, so you don’t have to worry about that.”
Wang Liquan was already bursting with gratitude. The seven taels of silver plus the two taels of silver given a few days ago totaled nine taels. His family tightened their belts and only used one tael of silver for a month's living expenses.
"Miss, if you have any requests, just ask me. As long as I can do it, I will help you complete it." Wang Liquan became more respectful to Li Yuezhu.
Li Yuezhu smiled brilliantly, "Does Coppersmith Wang have any apprentices?"
"No." Wang Liquan still didn't understand what Li Yuezhu meant by this.
"Then how many of these ornaments can you make in a month?"
Wang Liquan frowned and thought for a while, "I can only shoot one in a day. I can shoot thirty in a month."
Li Yuezhu shook his head after hearing Wang Liquan's reply, "No, it's too little, too little."
"In that case, if I call back my two sons who have gone out to work, I can fight sixty." Wang Liquan looked at Li Yuezhu and said.
"That's it for now, but I still think it's too little. I'll come back to your house in a few days and we'll talk about it then."
Wang Liquan put the handicrafts on the carriage and sent Li Yuezhu away.
Li Yuezhu sat on the carriage, lowered the curtain on the carriage, picked up the most common big rooster and put it in the shopping system.
[Name] Copper ornaments - golden rooster crowing.

[Price] 110 yuan

Li Yuezhu looked at the 110 yuan and was not disappointed.
