Chapter 69: How many ups and downs are there

The dishes on the table were already cold and the wine was not so warm. No one around the table was concerned about this. He looked at Butler Zhang and waited for him to give him a good idea.

"Let me do this, let me tell you..." When Butler Zhang said this, he stopped, picked up a piece of deer tendon with chopsticks, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, and nodded to show that it was good.

"I want me to tell me, man, warm the wine again, don't you see the cold? The bosses are so uncomfortable. Can you afford it?"

Butler Zhang reached out to pour himself a glass of wine. As he was talking, he found that the wine was no longer warm and shouted to the guy at the door.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, listen to Butler Zhang, come on, you're rewarded with this bunch of money, why don't you go quickly? Wait, Butler Zhang likes to eat these deer tendons, and then bring them on a plate. Butler Zhang, what good way have you thought of?"

Among these people, the Wang Dong family was relatively impulsive. While instructing the friend, he pushed the plate of deer tendons toward Butler Zhang, and asked urgingly.

A glass of cold wine was still drunk by Butler Zhang. He picked up another piece of roasted lamb chops and said in a chewing voice: "I think so. The people you are looking for are too slow to work. It's better to hire some at the Gejiazhuang. They are all idle and come to help. There are many people and work quickly. How about it?"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly woke up. They had been thinking about how to prevent the rain from falling and forgot to find more people.

"Good solution, thank you, Butler Zhang. The Ge family's village does not seem to have enough staff, right? Why not, Butler Zhang also found the merchants of Zhang and Wang families, and they worked happily." Wang Dong's family slapped his thighs and became happy, but felt that there was still a shortage of people.

"Yes, Butler Zhang, it's time. You have to help us once. When you look back, you will buy the store for you. Even if we add some money ourselves, we can't let the seeds disappear." Another grain shop owner sitting next to Butler Zhang also added.

"Oh~!" Butler Zhang was embarrassed and paused for a moment. "That money was promised to be made by you, and it would not be easy for you to arrange people to run around."

"Butler Zhang Renyi, don't worry, if we use our place in the future, we will never say anything." Lu Dong's family sighed.

"Of course I have a good relationship with you, but... the merchants of Zhang and Wang families are so tired. There is a Li family farm next to them. You might as well go there to ask. If you really want our merchants to work, it will be exhausted. Although they are farmers, the owner always thinks they are relatives. The food is good and the wages are high, so he is afraid that they will feel uncomfortable. When he thinks that they will be tired again, I am so worried..."

Butler Zhang couldn't continue talking as he spoke. He twitched his nose twice, wiped the tears flowing out with his sleeve, and whispered his mouth, looking sad.

These bosses are not fools. If they know who bought the Li family’s village, how dare they hire people? Unless they are tired of living, they will look at Butler Zhang’s expression and they will be speechless.

The Jin Dong family cursed in his heart, "I'm going to be exhausted, just do some work, I can die of exhaustion in one day. Could it be that when I harvested a few days ago, I would have to take a day off for a few days? Look at the strong looks of the merchants, who would believe it? They are good to the merchants, and they give expensive food and more wages. What kind of wages are they given? Which merchants have to pay for the merchants separately when they collect land for the merchants?"

Not only did he think so, but other people also had the same idea, cursing in their hearts, saying good things, time waited for no one.

"Butler Zhang, this is true. We really can't find people anymore. Let them work slowly. Relax. We will take care of the food. It is definitely not worse than what you give. There is also wages. The person we are looking for is 7 cents a day. Is it good to give your farmer ten cents a day?"

Lu Dong's family asked, staring at Butler Zhang's eyes.

Butler Zhang had just wiped his tears, blinked his eyes, picked up a fish head and put it in his plate, and put it in his mouth. He said to everyone: "This fish is good, delicious, but unfortunately, the merchants can't afford this food. Don't look at the fish being worthless, how to make it? One of them is made in Shuiyunjian costs two taels of silver.

You guys, why not do this? There are only more than 300 people in our village who are strong. I will pay fifteen cents alone and ask you to hire them somewhere else. Let them go. Guy, go to the shopkeeper to get five staples of money and return it to me when I go back."

Speaking of the latter, Butler Zhang ordered the guy who had just delivered hot water and deer tendons.

The guy agreed and turned around to leave. The Jin Dong family quickly stopped him, "Wait, where can I find someone to work at this time? When the person comes, it rains too. Butler Zhang, you are alone, just this night."

"One hundred and fifty cents, it doesn't stop raining all night, and it's time to get sick, but the owner has to pay for medical expenses." Butler Zhang paid back a price.

"Okay, three hundred people are just a few stones of seeds." Jin Dongjia gritted his teeth and responded.

"It's not three hundred. There are about eight hundred people in the two villages now, and children can help you see the pile." Butler Zhang refused to give in at this time.

"Okay, hurry up, there are only eight hundred people, and there are about one hundred taels of silver, which is better than the seeds of more than ten thousand taels."

The Jin Dong family really didn't want to waste time any more. They would cut a fewer pieces of rice if they said one more word and cut a few hundred rice less. Moreover, it was not a matter of more than ten thousand taels of silver. They paid all the money they bought for seeds, and they would make a lot of money when they bought them. If they lost, they would have to pay more money.

"It's not too late, let's leave now. How much does the Gejiazhuang pay? You can ask them to tell me, "My man, send the plate of deer tendons that have just been served to the main house. The young master and the young lady love to eat."

Butler Zhang was so happy at this time that he walked outside first, as if he was more anxious than others.

The bosses didn't have time to think that Butler Zhang was so shameless. He just served a plate of dishes and brought them back. Are the people in Zhangjiazhuang so poor?

When they got outside, everyone saw that it was cloudy and it was already dusk, and it was already dark. The two went to Gejiazhuang to find someone to negotiate the price, and the rest looked at Butler Zhang.

"Oh, it's dark, what should I do? You have to light a lantern, the torch is easy to get away from the water." Butler Zhang looked at the sky and said embarrassedly.

"Then order it. Is it difficult to buy lanterns?" Wang Dongjia asked anxiously.

"Let's go to the grocery store to check it out. It's really too hurrying. I don't know if they have it there." Butler Zhang said, and took big steps towards the grocery store, and the others followed closely behind.

When he arrived at the place, Butler Zhang shouted to Ergou who was walking back and forth in the market: "Ergou, do you have lanterns? You need... four hundred. Everyone, see if the old people in the village are also using it."

"Yes, yes, use them all, one hundred and fifty cents per person, how much is used, Ergou, right? Are there so many lanterns?"

A boss was talking there, and he had no time to argue. Whatever your butler Zhang said and did, you just rushed over and drove the pig over. As long as it could illuminate the lanterns and understand how to illuminate it, it would be 150 words.

"Ah? Butler Zhang, do you want so many lanterns? This..."

"Don't let this one, to be honest, is there any or not?" Butler Zhang interrupted Ergou impatiently and asked.

"Yes, there are exactly 450 lanterns, but they have already been booked by someone else. I will have to send them tomorrow morning. If this is given to you..."

Without waiting for Ergou to finish his words, Wang Dong's family stepped in front of Ergou and shouted and asked, "How much is the total amount? The compensation is also counted on us. Get the lanterns and candles quickly."

"Okay, take this one, two hundred ciders a cup, each with ten candles. I'll tell you, that wax..."

"I beg you, get it quickly." Wang Dongjia almost burst into tears.

Ergou became sensible this time and ran to the grocery store in a blink of an eye. There seemed to be someone waiting there. When he went in and out, there were 450 lanterns, which were put into candles and lit in half a quarter of an hour.

The young and old people in the village also came out at this time and were waiting there. The efficiency was so high that the people were bleeding from the eyes. If they were not prepared for it, how could it be so fast? But those people were empty-handed.

"Butler Zhang, are they here empty-handed?" One of the owners asked with their eyes wide open.

"Oh, they are too delaying. Didn't they tell who went to find someone? Didn't you forget to tell me? Ergou, do you have a sickle here? It's the kind of sickle we made especially, better than other places? It takes... five hundred, how much do you calculate how much, and then you will care about these owners."

Butler Zhang was also very upset and shouted to Ergou. When he saw Ergou coming in to get the sickle, he shouted to the farmers: "Everyone heard that, I asked you to help harvest rice. Each person is 150 yuan. Even if it is a person, I will wait until I finish it. Remember to put the sickle in a place, this sickle..."

"Butler Zhang, look, I've brought the sickle, let's work first, can I do it?" Dong Dong's family couldn't hold back and felt more and more bored.

"Hold sickles and work, children watch the piles, and the elderly and women play lanterns." Butler Zhang immediately shouted, and those people were not slow to move and ran over to get things with their own division of labor.

Waiting for them to get started, Butler Zhang wiped the sweat from his body and said to the bosses: "Everyone, I'll have someone go to prepare the meal. According to the soup that I ate at noon, I will save you a little bit. How about changing it to mutton?"

"Okay, Butler Zhang looked at the arrangement. Is there a person from Gezhuang there? Hurry up, run two steps quickly." A boss didn't want to continue bargaining on other things at all. He agreed and saw the firelight that appeared there, and waved his hand and shouted loudly.

There were few people in the Ge family village, only one hundred people came. As for how much money it cost, Mr. Zhang ignored it. This was to help them once and earn more money.

"Butler Zhang, I accept it this time. Don't worry, I will never attack the two families of Zhang and Wang again in the future." The boss surnamed Lu said to Butler Zhang who was standing next to him as he watched the people harvest.
