Not to mention that Shen Tiezhu was chased by his father for ten streets.
In a short while, a lot of copper coins were piled in the pocket next to Shen Lin.
He cleared out 800 coins and handed them to Shen Zhonggui.
"Uncle, the extra half will be considered as my nephew's filial piety to you!"
"Without your craftsmanship, my nephew would not have this opportunity to make money."
"If you refuse, you'll be in trouble!"
According to the normal price, it took twelve working hours to complete the complete set of water trucks.
If you look for a carpenter from another village, you probably won't be able to get it if you don't have a tael of silver.
We all live in this village with the surname Shen, so the calculation is normal, but the 800 yuan is indeed what Shen Zhonggui deserves.
He couldn't refuse and smiled from ear to ear.
"Okay, okay, Shen Lin, do your best! It doesn't matter if uncle wants money or not."
"Now that you can make money on your own, your father should be smiling!"
"Remember, don't wander around like before. Now you have a beautiful wife, but you must cherish it!"
The elder taught, Shen Lin nodded respectfully.
"Hey, just keep an eye on it!"
"Today, Shen Lin has made a clean break with the past and has changed his ways!"
Try to keep everything fresh.
The villagers lit torches and lined up all night to grind noodles.
Shen Lin called Shuanzi's brother Zhuzi over again, with the same salary of thirty cents per day. The four of them planned to take shifts and work all night.
We have to survive the enthusiasm of the villagers!
It took five days of continuous work to finish the business of the villagers.
Ordinary families naturally don’t have that much food in stock.
One or two hundred pounds is a lot.
I can't bear the thought that there are still two big households in Lushuihe Village.
One is the village chief Shen Zhongping.
One is Yang Chengliang, the head of three villages.
Wheat harvest season is coming soon, and after a while, the price of old grain will be greatly reduced.
Originally, they could make a lot of money selling old grain now.
But the market price of white flour is as high as three taels of silver per load. This is because grinding flour used to be too laborious. A pound of wheat can produce eight taels of white flour. Even fools know how to choose.
Good guy, the two families brought out several thousand kilograms of old grain and kept Shen Lin busy for five or six days and nights.
When I got home, I made a net profit of seventeen taels of silver in just a few days.
My family also bought wheat and ground it myself, and from then on I lived a good life of eating white flour.
I originally thought I could take a break.
Who knows, good things can travel thousands of miles.
Across the river in Aung San Village, you can see lanterns and torches being lit here every night.
Very lively.
Why don't you come over and take a look?
After the business in Lushuihe Village was completed, the business in several surrounding villages came to the door, and finally the main family of Shenjiaji also came.
First, he used the business of tens of thousands of kilograms of wheat to get close, and finally pointed out that Shen Lin's water mill technology was needed.
They can imitate it. After all, they are a wealthy family in the town and have skilled craftsmen at home.
But for being so unreasonable and afraid of being poked in the back, the third uncle of the family, Shen Zhongru, who was in charge of business, patted Shen Lin on the shoulder amiably: "You kid can't study well. You haven't even been able to pass the examination for so many years."
"Who knew you were quite talented at doing these amazing tricks?"
"Tell me, if you sell this technology to me and give me a set of ready-made water mills, will fifty taels of silver be enough?"
Seeing the other party's philistine look, Shen Lin was speechless for a while.
The original owner lived to be nineteen years old, and he only saw you a few times when he went to his family to worship his ancestors. But you, old man, never talked to him once.
However, Shen Lin also knew that water grinding technology was not complicated and could not withstand imitation by interested people. It was just a matter of gust of wind. It would be better to make a quick profit in the end.
He didn't intend to hide it, it would be great if he could make the first pot of gold!
"What do you mean? It's just this little thing, what does it mean? Since Third Uncle likes it, my nephew will give it to me with both hands, so why talk about money?"
"That's not possible. As elders, how can we take advantage of you juniors..."
Shen Zhongru is quite satisfied with Shen Lin's success.
…
The day before the wheat harvest, the exhausted Shen Lin finally completed the last transaction.
He directly sold the water-powered mill to Yang Chengliang, the head of the village, for ten taels of silver.
The only requirement is that Brother Shuanzi, who has helped us, can stay and continue working!
Yang Chengliang agreed with a smile on his face.
Ten taels of silver is a bit expensive, but if you seize the opportunity, you will make more money. Who among the few people around would dare to open a water mill again?
Not bad, this kid Shen Lin sleeps well.
Just be sensible. You can't look at him with the same old eyes anymore.
If something happens, you have to take care of it!
During this period, Shen Lin also made a lot of money through various orders and so on.
More than a hundred taels of silver!
Although he can't be called a rich man, now he can be regarded as someone who will be treated with admiration after three days of separation.
Even Shen Tiezhu's two taels of silver, Shen Lin didn't ask for it because Shen Tiezhu almost had his leg broken by his father.
With money, Shen Lin is no longer stingy.
In more than a month, Shen Lin spent twenty taels of silver, hired dozens of villagers, and completely renovated the old house.
A main hall, study room and backyard were also built.
There is a special kitchen, toilet, and a deep well in the yard.
The entire courtyard is also protected by a ten-foot-high wall. Although the gate is not magnificent, it is quite similar.
This scale ranks among the top ten in Lushuihe Village.
I repaired the house and bought enough rice, flour and oil.
Shen Lin still had nearly a hundred taels of silver left, which was a huge amount.
The wheat harvest is a big event.
But this has nothing to do with Shen Lin and his wife.
Two oxcarts were hired to carry the new water mill built by Uncle Shen Zhonggui.
Shen Lin took Liu Chuer to Shenjiaji and the delivery went smoothly.
The Shen family of Anning County, where Shili is the heirloom, had a number of important people who passed the imperial examination in the past.
Doing business was also a breeze. Seeing that Shen Lin was a member of the family, he even gave him an extra five taels of silver.
The level of luxury made Shen Lin, who had just a little money, smack his lips.
After leaving the Shen family, Shen Lin couldn't wait to spend a lot of money at the Shen family to buy a docile horse and carry him and Liu Chu'er on the road!
Originally, he had taken a fancy to a group of fat and strong war horses, but the horse dealer scared him away on the spot when he asked for eighty taels of silver.
The ten taels of silver horse is still a good deal and easy to keep. This horse is equivalent to the Wuling sacred chariot of later generations. The leather is strong and durable, and the price is cheap!
"Ms. sir, it feels weird to name the horse Wuling. Is there any reason for it?"
Liu Chu'er nestled in Shen Lin's arms. Although she was tired during this period, her nutrition was also up. Her whole body's energy and spirit looked almost completely different from before!
"Wuling is the name of a kind of magical horse. Although it is cheap, even if it is compared with a good horse in speed, it is not inferior at all." Shen Lin said seriously.
"My husband knows a lot..."
The horses moved around, bucking together, giving Shen Lin a different kind of old-fashioned feeling.
Walked for half a day.
Far away.
An ancient city came into view of the two of them.
There are two big characters on the city gate: dragons and phoenixes dancing,
