"The wages must be paid. I'm not just asking you to make this spinning wheel. Since you don't say it, let me tell you. If you make me a spinning wheel, I will give you fifty cents in wages first.
How about it?"
"Fifty cents?!"
The little carpenter's eyes widened in surprise!
"If it's not enough for you, I can add more."
"No! No! No! Brother Xu, don't get me wrong, I'm not dissatisfied with it, but the salary is too much!"
The little carpenter quickly explained that he usually only paid 20 cents for making a spinning wheel for others, but Lin Xu actually wanted to pay him 50 cents. Although this kind of spinning wheel was a bit more complicated, the wages were much higher!
Of course, Lin Xu's quotation was not given randomly. He knew that the carpenter's usual salary for making spinning wheels was twenty cents a piece, so he gave this quotation after considering it.
In fact, he felt that the quotation was too little, but he understood the principle of "a favor is gained, a favor is lost". Even if he wanted to take care of the little carpenter, he had to do it step by step and pay attention to methods.
"Haha, as long as it's not too little for you...then let's set this price tentatively! And the big bed I just mentioned, if it's not too little for you, let's calculate it according to the salary of fifty cents!
"
Lin Xu smiled and directly took out a small cloth bag containing copper coins and placed it on the stool: "There is one hundred coins in it, which is considered as payment in advance. You make a spinning wheel first, and I will see how it goes. If there is no
If there is any problem, we will mass-produce it later!”
A young carpenter usually does work for others, and it is considered good if they do not take credit. This is the first time I have seen someone like Lin Xu pay in advance!
"Brother Xu, the money you gave is too much, how can I be embarrassed to accept it?"
"If you are really embarrassed, then let's do this. Give all these benches to me! That bastard Sanmao will never give you money. If he comes again, just tell me that I took away the benches and let him find them."
I'm going!"
"Why......"
The little carpenter could only agree: "Brother Xu, then I will send you the bench!"
"No, I'll borrow your trolley and you can just pull it there yourself."
"No, Brother Xu, I have to send it to you personally!"
Seeing the young carpenter's insistence, Lin Xu had no choice but to say: "Okay! However, there is no rush in this matter. The spinning wheel can be done later, but the wooden bed must be made as soon as possible. It is best to make it today! Are you sure?
"
"Don't worry, Brother Xu, I will make it for you today!"
"Do you need my help?"
"No! Making a wooden bed is very simple. I can do it by myself! I guarantee you will be able to sleep on a new bed tonight!"
The little carpenter patted his chest and said confidently!
"Then I'll just wait."
Lin Xu smiled and warned again: "Gensheng, you must not show the drawings for making a spinning wheel to anyone, let alone make such a spinning wheel for others. If anyone asks, you will blame me. Otherwise, you can't make such a spinning wheel for others."
, it may bring you a lot of trouble! Do you understand what I mean?"
The little carpenter understood everything and said seriously: "Don't worry, Brother Xu, I have remembered everything! If anyone asks, I will tell you that the drawings are at your place. Without the drawings, I can't do anything!"
...
In the afternoon of that day, Sun Chong hurried to Lin Xu's house.
After running back and forth on the mountain road for a day, Sun Chong had not eaten enough water and rice, and his throat was so thirsty that he was almost smoking!
When he entered the yard, he was not polite. He ran to the water tank and drank two ladles of cold water. Then he pulled Lin Xu to the corner and lowered his voice and said:
"Brother, I have found out clearly! Those two bandits, one named Lu San and the other Black Dog, are indeed bandits from Xiaoyang Mountain! Especially Lu San, he is still a small leader!"
After hearing this, Lin Xu couldn't help but feel his heart sink, feeling that the danger had escalated! This chapter has been completed!
