Chapter 4:

Soybeans are used to make bean rice, bean leaves are used for cooking, and tofu is ground to order. It can be said to be an indispensable ration on the table of working people. However, the price of soybeans is low and the taste is not good. People who eat tofu fall Quite a few, but there are three hardships in life. There are four tofu shops in Wucheng.
Lin Yuan grabbed a handful of beans. They weren't full, but luckily they weren't shriveled. They could barely be used.
"Master." Two and two still have no confidence. "I have heard of soybean oil extraction, but if there is a profit, this business has long been occupied, and it is our turn?"
Lin Yuan gave two and two palms. It was not heavy, but very light. He threw a few beans into his mouth and rushed to the market vendor and said, "How many?
The vendor didn't expect that this was still a big customer, so he quickly said, "I still have three hundred stones in my house! They are all this year, not Chen!"
Three hundred shi, equal to three thousand catties, Lin Yuan nodded, "All of them are drawn to Zhuangzi at the north entrance of the city. Can they get there in three days?"
Hawker: "It will definitely be there!"
Just verbally agreed, Lin Yuan had the raw materials.
One catty and five words, three thousand catties is three hundred guan, thirty taels of silver.
It's not easy to farm these days.
Lin Yuangang sighed with emotion, and a passerby laughed at him: "Thirty taels, his family has been eating and drinking for a few years. If you buy a lot, if you change to a tofu shop, you can give it half less."
Lin Yuan turned his head and saw a man in Geyi coarse cloth, wearing a short suit, bulging chest, full of tendons, carrying a live rabbit in his hand, and stepping on animal leather boots. He was probably a hunter.
"It depends on your stupid money." Orion grinned, showing sharp tiger teeth.
Lin Yuan also laughed: "He has to rent a donkey cart to get it. I'm afraid that one is not enough. People will have to make a profit. It is not easy to come out to ask for a living. Three hundred stones, I am afraid that they will also join the folks."
Orion was stunned. Obviously he didn't expect this one. He saw Lin Yuan's face pale and look like a young man. He thought he was a silly boy, but he also had an abacus in his heart. He smiled: "I was wrong, brother, you Have a good heart."
Lin Yuan waved his hand and looked at the live rabbit. He felt a little greedy. He has been here for so many days, and all the meat he eats is pork. There are not many people who eat pork this year. They have a strong smelt, and raise a pig. From input to harvest, it takes at least two to three years.
Rich people hate it smelly and don't want to eat it, poor people can't afford it and don't have the energy to raise it.
That smell is really enough to eat once.
However, except for pork, it is mutton. Although the taste of Sao is different, it is the same.
Large-scale pig breeding began in the Ming Dynasty.
Today's pigs are small and don't grow much meat. Unlike modern white pigs, they are as black as carbon.
It is estimated that Zhu Bajie is also a black pig.
"Big brother, how do you sell this rabbit?" Not only Lin Yuan is greedy, but Er Liang is also greedy, but he dared not speak, so he stared at the rabbit and swallowed.
Lin Yuan just went to rent Zhuangzi. Because he was in the city, he wanted nothing, so the rent was cheap. The monthly rent was only 500 wen, and the place was big enough. But Lin Yuan consciously needed to increase income and reduce expenditure, so he didn’t dare to spend money. Twenty-two days, all the restaurants in the world are noodles.
Today we happen to take the mother and son back, so let's make a rabbit meal.
Lin Yuan's saliva was about to flow down.
Orion grabbed the rabbit’s ears and raised it. The rabbit’s limbs were still swinging and wanted to escape the imprisonment. Orion said: "I used to sell it to the neighbourhood. Most of them were 30 pieces. This one is quite fat. I count you three. Fifteen essays."
Lin Yuan: "Sure!"
Just pay for it.
After the money and goods were settled, Lin Yuan asked Orion: "Big Brother, is the business good now?"
Orion shook his head and frowned: "There is nothing left to hunt on the mountain. I spent a day in the mountain yesterday with this rabbit."
Lin Yuan: "Change a career?"
Orion sighed: "I'm just as strong as I am, I'm illiterate, and my mouth is stupid. If I change my career, at most I will do coolies."
Working in labor in the city is all about casual work. It is tiring and laborious to settle money and move heavy objects. The owner does not care about food, earning three or four cents a day, just enough for an adult man to eat coarse grains.
"So, brother, meeting is also fate. I have a job. Now that everything is ready, I'm missing someone." Lin Yuan hurriedly promoted his own oil plant. "The monthly salary is two hundred yuan. Take the bonus."
Orion did not know why: "Even a bonus?"
Lin Yuan: "I just made a lot of money, so I'll give the buddy some points."
Orion understood: "You and I never knew each other..."
Lin Yuan: "It's destined to meet thousands of miles!"
Look at this tendon, such a guy, for physical work, is simply sparkling gold.
Orion found that this young man kept looking at his chest. He looked down and found that his pectoral muscles were particularly obvious. Looking up at Lin Yuan, his expression was a bit strange. I heard that the rich man has special hobbies, and some like to find himself. Such a mature man, with great physical strength, suffers in bed.
But they are usually told by listening to jokes from fellow villagers.
Orion's expression was a bit wrong: "...What fate? No fate!"
After finishing talking, he ran away like a dog behind his ass.
Lin Yuan looked at the back of the other party running away, a little confused: "He just doesn't want to work?"
It seems that this person may naturally yearn for freedom.
Two or two carry rabbits, and there is only eighteen rabbit meat in their heads.
The mother and child beggars have rarely had a normal life these few days. Although they slept in a broken temple, they had at least some tiles on their heads. They didn’t need to sleep on the street. With ten cents, they could buy two bean dregs cakes a day to eat, and quilts to keep warm— -Even when life was at its best, they never covered the quilt, even if it was broken.
The rich can afford it!
When Lin Yuan came to pick them up, he found that the woman and the boy had washed their hands and feet. Although the rags on their bodies were still dirty, they had no conditions to wash and change.
"Quickly, kowtow to the boss." The woman took the boy to kneel together.
Lin Yuan: "Get up, don't kneel."
The woman then pulled her son up again in fear.
On the way back, Lin Yuan asked her: "Your son is called Gouzi, what is your name?"
A woman does not have a big name, only a nickname. She is the fourth child in her natal family. When she is not married, she is called Siya, and when she is married, she is called the iron head lady.
Lin Yuan: "Just call you Si Niang."
Siniang responded quickly.
"Everything is ready, you clean up, and burn this rabbit at night." Lin Yuan ordered, "Don't be reluctant to put oil."
What he bought was sesame oil, 30 yuan a catty, more expensive than meat.
No wonder the people can't afford it.
"You live in the penthouse." Lin Yuan led the person back, "tell the two or two if you are missing."
After entering the penthouse, Siniang and Gouzi were dumbfounded. There is a table, two chairs, and then a bed in the penthouse. The bed is made of a wooden cabinet. The bed is laid and the mattress is Straw mats, but the quilts are cotton quilts. They are used and not used. They are bought in two or two and are not used in other homes. There is no new warmth, but it is enough.
"Mother." The dog didn't dare to sit on a chair, feeling that he was dirty, so he squatted on the ground and looked around, "It's like dreaming."
Siniang didn't get any better, she touched the quilt, and then touched the soft straw mat, the big teardrops fell: "Guzi, we have met a living Buddha."
"Living Bodhisattva" Lin Yuan was worrying about how to recruit people and went straight to the street to advertise?
If you hire someone, the other person's character is not good, so what should I do if I trouble myself?
So Lin Yuan, who had a headache, asked Erliang to invite Jiang Gui to come over before dinner, and asked the dog to drink two or two meters of wine.
Siniang is busy in front of the stove. When she is at home, she has to go to the ground, take children, cook, and do housework. Cooking is an essential skill. This does not bother her, but it makes her feel distressed when the oil is discharged.
This oil is so good. When she was in her hometown, she used four people in her family, and only used two catties of oil a year. She never gave up more. When the harvest is not good, boil the vegetables in water without putting the oil. Eat into the stomach.
Jiang Gui didn't come empty-handed this time, because after hearing Erliang talk about eating rabbit meat, he also specially wrapped some winter melon candy.
"Brother Jiang came to the house and brought things, where is it necessary to be so polite." Lin Yuan welcomed him in with a smile on his face.
Jiang Gui had already smelled the scent, and the greedy worm in his stomach was hooked up, and he still pretended to say seriously: "I still understand the truth of courtesy."
Lin Yuan and Jiang Gui ate in the main room, and Erliang took Siniang and the others to the penthouse to eat. Although there were only two stools, the table was short and they could eat on the ground.
Lin Yuan told Jiang Gui that he wanted to squeeze the oil: "I think so. I am not familiar with my life here, and I have to ask Brother Jiang to take care of me. If so, I will give you a share. I will give you 10% of what you earn."
Do nothing? Take money for nothing?
Jiang Gui put down his chopsticks: "Brother Lin, you just look down on me. I'm not the one who takes advantage of me. If you want me to help, I'm not welcome. If you are fine, I don't want a penny. "
"My elder brother is a bright man." Lin Yuan poured him a glass of wine, "I still have to trouble my elder brother for recruitment."
Jiang Gui understood now that Lin Yuan came from a different place after all, and had no foundation in Wucheng. If you want to recruit workers, you must first be honest. If you recruit a thorn, you will lose out.
"I can handle this." Jiang Gui said, "How many people do you want?"
Lin Yuan: "Twenty first, the best ones are physically strong. They are all physically demanding."
Jiang Gui smiled: "Just as I told you before, Chengnan carried the handles, and the people under his hands were sturdy, and their bosses were in charge of them. They must be honest in doing things."
Lin Yuan: "...didn't people collect debts?"
Jiang Gui waved his hand: "Hey, it's not that there are debt reminders every day. There are so many people under his hands who want to survive, all with wives and children."
It seems that in ancient times, it is not easy for society to have part-time and odd jobs.
"That's OK, brother, you will make an appointment with the bearer tomorrow, and we will have a chat." Lin Yuan said, "I'm afraid that people won't believe me, so I'll talk about the payment in person."
Jiang Gui: "This is the case. The man who carries the handle is called Brother Dao. You can call it that way. He has a bad temper, but he is also straightforward. Then I will go to the restaurant to order a table of noodles tomorrow night."
Lin Yuan and Jiang Gui, the pair of fake brothers who had nothing to do with each other, were full and happy.
What Lin Yuan thought was that he would not bother to recruit people.
What Jiang Gui thought was that he sold favors to both sides this time, and got the shares. There is no better deal than this.
As for whether soybean oil extraction will lose money, he doesn't care.
He didn't lose anyway.
When he left, Jiang Gui was still thinking, why don’t you come here for a lot of people like Brother Lin who are stupid and good-hearted?
