Chapter 205 How can it not be amazing?
After Lu Shao went to study.
Qiao Ye mainly makes custom candles that were owed previously.
The news was also spread that money would be required to buy wool and sheep oil, as well as seedlings and seeds of medicinal herbs.
Fruit tree seedlings and beet seeds are also needed.
Some can be delivered to the workshop, or they can collect them at your door, and the price is very good.
More people sent them in one after another.
A few days passed like this, and Qiao Ye was still a little uncomfortable.
After all, since coming here, except for the occasional one or two days when Lu Shao goes out, he is always at the other end of the bed at night.
Every day he helped her mix her bath water and wash her clothes.
In the evening he would tell her interesting things that happened in the county, talk about some things happening outside, or read storybooks to her.
Whatever she wants to do, she will share it with him first, and he will support her and give her suggestions from time to time.
He was the same, he would tell her a lot of things, and she would support him while also giving him suggestions.
He did this quietly and quietly, leaving countless traces in her life.
Therefore, after he went away, she felt a kind of longing for him that she had never felt before.
I don’t know if it’s because they came to this strange world that she and Lu Shao have been dependent on each other.
Or maybe she had unknowingly fallen in love with him in this long-lasting life.
That day, she was making candles in the workshop.
Boss Lu and Boss Lu came over.
Boss Lu looked at Qiao Ye and asked, "Wu Lang's wife, the lease of the shop in the county town has just expired. Should we continue to rent it or take it back?"
"The person who rented the shop came to me this morning and said he wanted to continue renting it."
Now the old lady in the family has completely let go and let Qiao Ye be the one in charge.
Whenever Boss Lu and others have something to ask, they will come to ask her.
Qiao Ye looked at them and asked, "What do you think?"
Boss Lu thought for a moment and said, "If we want to take it back, we have to sublease it to someone else, which is a bit troublesome. Why don't we let the other party renew the lease?"
Qiao Ye did not give an answer, but looked at Lu Lao Si and asked, "What do you think, Uncle?"
They are now adopted by the third house, so the original name of Fourth Uncle has been changed to Fourth Uncle.
Lu Lao Si said: "I think we can't renew the lease to this family. We can take it back and rent it out again, or use it for our own use."
There was a hint of smile in Qiao Ye's eyes, "Why can't we renew the lease to this family?"
Lu Lao Si replied: "I looked at it before and felt that the rent they offered was a bit low, so I went to ask around."
“I just realized that the rent they offered was nearly half of that of the shop next door.”
"After asking around, I found out that the person who rented the shop was from Lao Wu's wife's uncle's family."
"They want to renew the lease now, so they can continue to take advantage of it."
Boss Lu was stunned for a moment, "Ah, there is such a thing?"
It was only when the other party came to him that he found out that the rent was about to expire.
This morning, the man kept encouraging him to sign the lease extension contract and even said he would treat him to a meal.
How could he dare to agree without Wulang's wife's consent?
Then he called his fourth brother to talk to Wulang's wife about this.
Who would have thought there were so many twists and turns here.
The key point is that the fourth brother had actually asked about it secretly before.
Sure enough, among the five brothers, the fourth brother is the most clever.
Qiao Ye smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle is right. How can we let them continue to take advantage of us?"
"Go to the county town and inform them that they must move out when the rent is due. Otherwise, ask the yamen runners to come over."
Her husband had already found out who rented the shop and told her about it.
She really didn't plan to continue renting it to the other party, but she hadn't said it before because she wanted to see the reactions of the Lu brothers.
Sure enough, Boss Lu is too honest and is only suitable for obeying orders and doing things, while Fourth Boss Lu is smart and malleable.
Boss Lu nodded, "Okay, I will go and watch it myself then."
I was almost cheated by that family.
He discovered that anyone who had anything to do with the fifth brother's wife was not a good person.
He also decided that he would have to be more careful in the future and always ask Wulang's wife before anything.
Qiao Ye added: "After we take back the shop, we don't have to rent it anymore. We can just use it for our own use."
Although there were scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, the status of merchants in the Dayin Dynasty was not low.
In many dynasties, the descendants or later generations of people who registered as merchants were not allowed to take the imperial examinations and become officials.
But there was no such rule in the Dayin Dynasty.
Perhaps the founding emperor’s success in overthrowing the previous dynasty was inseparable from the support of several big businessmen.
The descendants of merchants can all pass the imperial examinations and become officials.
Officials themselves are not allowed to engage in business, but their family members are allowed to do so.
However, in order to prevent collusion between officials and businessmen, the Flying Tiger Guard had an inspection department specifically designed to keep an eye on the business activities of officials' families and relatives.
This is what she heard from her husband.
According to her understanding, the Flying Tiger Guard is somewhat similar to the Jinyi Guard of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition to the Flying Tiger Guard, there is also a Flying Dragon Guard that is only responsible to the emperor.
The power of the Flying Dragon Guard is greater than that of the Flying Tiger Guard, and they can monitor and arrest subjects at will without the approval of the judicial authorities.
Feilongwei is very similar to Dongchang of the Ming Dynasty.
However, the status of eunuchs in the Dayin Dynasty was not high, so the commander of the Feilong Guard was not a eunuch.
Therefore, even if the Lu family is involved in business, it will not affect Lu Shao's imperial examination and becoming an official in the future.
Lu Lao Si asked: "What kind of business are we going to start if we keep it for ourselves? Mosquito coils or candles?"
Qiao Ye said: "The mosquito coil business won't last long, and there's no need to sell candles in the shop."
“So let’s open a furniture store.”
"We have a bamboo mountain at home, it would be a waste to leave it alone."
"In the past few days, we have hired people to build another workshop, which will be used to make bamboo, rattan and wood furniture."
"The materials for bamboo and rattan furniture are not expensive, so they can be sold at a lower price."
Many families cannot afford to make furniture. Not only is it expensive, but they also need to hire a carpenter.
There are specialized furniture shops in the county town, but the prices they sell are much higher than hiring a carpenter to make furniture.
Once bamboo and rattan cabinets came out, any family that was not too poor could afford them.
Boss Lu thought for a moment and said, "Things made of bamboo and rattan will get moldy over time. Will they be unsuitable for furniture?"
Qiao Ye said: "It's okay, I can make a potion."
"Put rattan and bamboo strips in it to soak, then dry them, and they won't get moldy again."
"Applying a layer of cooked tung oil will not only make the texture and gloss better, but also be waterproof, anti-corrosive and insect-resistant."
"When we sell it, we can promise the customer that it won't get moldy. If it does get moldy within five years, they can bring it back to us for a new one."
"Of course, this is a normal placement and use. If someone deliberately takes water bubbles, etc., we will not be responsible."
Boss Lu's eyes lit up, "This is good."
He added, "But with bamboo and rattan, we can only weave baskets and such, how are we going to make furniture?"
Qiao Ye smiled and said, "I know how to do it. I'll teach you."
Boss Lu looked at Qiao Ye with admiration, "Wu Lang's wife, you are really amazing."
He even knows this, so cool.
Lu Lao Si smiled and said as a matter of course: "Wu Lang's wife is protected by the Lord River God, how can she not be powerful?"
They had no doubt that Qiao Ye could do all these.
I just think she must have learned it in the River God's Mansion.
Qiao Ye also found that the cover of Lord River God she used on the day she came here was really useful.
Not to mention the Lu family and the villagers, even Xiao Qi and the other two did not have much doubt as to why she made pills to treat malaria.
Especially after she described the River Temple to several people and made up some magical instruments, they believed it even more.
Lu Laosi asked: "Is the new workshop hiring?"
Previously, the workshop was mainly managed by Dalang, Erlang and Silang. Except for the third branch, each branch had exactly one son.
Now he also wants to show off more in front of Wulang's wife and let her take care of things for him.
