Chapter 117 How Unethical Is It To Ask For Money For A Long Time?
And now there are very few neighbors in Beidu Siheyuan who burn coal. Most of them use carbon, which is very smoky and poisonous. Everyone in Beidu Siheyuan knows this, so the current price of coal is extremely cheap. He Ye I thought, I can't invent the stove yet, at least I have to wait until I can afford a coal mine, otherwise where can I make money? A big fire kang is fine, and I have to build it if I don't make money.
Early the next morning, I went to the study to ask for leave from these teachers, and the big boss immediately let him go. Now he is just letting this cooking apprentice go free. The big boss thinks that he should teach in his own way, so this genius might be allowed to teach by himself. Become mediocre. The teaching building where the He family lives has been bought by the He family. The owner is old and plans to return to his roots. The remaining two houses have not been raised enough. When enough money is raised, the entire yard will belong to the Yan family. .
There is currently no job market in Beidu Siheyuan. Most of the laborers or carpenters and bricklayers wait for work at the intersection next to the market.
This place is very close to the West Market. He Ye found four bricklayers in a few turns. One big worker had fifteen food stamps a day, and three extremely smart workers had ten food stamps a day. He also went to buy some bricks and stones, and hired an ox. The car was pulled back and 24 bricks were unloaded in the yard. He Ye looked at the four bricklayers who were the third in the community. These four bricklayers were common people, the owner of the Dagong family, two of them who were extremely smart were his sons, and the other two were ordinary people. This is his brother-in-law.
The big worker's surname was Yang, and he was quite talkative. When he saw the green bricks being unloaded in the courtyard, Old Yang asked: "Master, if you buy these green bricks, you need to build a very clever warehouse."
He Ye didn't buy many bricks, just enough to build two walls, so Lao Yang asked this question. He Ye smiled mysteriously and said: "Lao Yang, today we are going to teach you people in the courtyards a craft that can also make you people in the courtyards eat and drink without worries. study?"
Lao Yang looked at He Ye, who was only eight or nine years old, with an evil expression on his face because he believed in you people in the courtyard. He Ye didn't care and whispered: "We have a method here that can make you people like this How about the people who live in a courtyard house, how about having a warm house in the middle of winter without using firewood?"
Lao Yang looked at He Ye and then at the green bricks on the ground. After thinking for a while, he bowed and said, "Master, please give me some advice."
This is the good thing about the people of Beidu Siheyuan. They value promises but light profits. From the nobles of Yan Gong to the common people of Ming Dynasty, as long as they promise you, the people of Siheyuan, they will definitely do it, even if it means sacrificing their lives. He Now that Ye is teaching them the art of eating, they will never forget He Ye's great love.
He Ye led them into the teaching building. The teaching building is not big, with only three rooms. One room is where the Hes and his wife live, and the other room is where the extremely clever Bao Ge lives now. The last one is the warehouse, where he lives. He Ye led them to the house of Mr. and Mrs. He and started planning, building a fire wall in this place, a kang in this place, and a stove in this place. After everything was explained clearly.
Lao Yang knelt down with a pop and kowtowed to He Ye repeatedly: "Thank you, Master, for the rice. Thank you, Master, for the rice!".
The relationship between master and disciple is the most important in ancient times. How can I lead? He Ye is teaching and imparting knowledge now, giving Lao Yang the ability to live without worries.
The three extremely smart guys reacted a little slower, but seeing that Lao Yang was already kneeling down, there was no reason not to kneel down. He Ye quickly helped him up and said: "This is an outsider, we still need to go out and fight some It can be used, Lao Yang, we told you people in these courtyards, you people in these courtyards, have you all remembered it?"
Lao Yang nodded, the fire kang is actually very simple, but no one in this community thought of it. Lao Yang said excitedly: "Siheyuan students are smart. According to the methods of Siheyuan students, this winter will not be difficult."
Lao Yang, a man who knew the big picture, said at that time that he would not charge for this fire kang, and even wanted to pay for the materials. He Ye refused, and Lao Yang kept saying that he had met a noble person, and finally patted his chest. He said that as long as Lao Yang's place is used in the future, he will not hesitate.
He Ye went out to find a blacksmith shop. He needs to build a chimney, and it doesn't matter if it's not round. As long as it can exhaust smoke, a square one is fine. Then he buys sand to use as insulation material, and finally buys stones to build a flat surface for the kang. After buying everything, Ten o'clock in the morning has passed.
When he went back, Lao Yang was building a smoke path. When he saw He Ye coming back, Lao Yang smiled and said, "Students from the Siheyuan can build it for you today."
He Ye looked around and saw that this old bricklayer was really good at his craftsmanship. He didn't use a level, and the fire wall was built as neatly as a line. The distance between the smoke paths was just right. He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad. Just build it like this."
Lao Yang scratched his head and said, "Students from the Siheyuan, is this hot kang famous for cooking?"
He Ye thought to himself, a fire kang is called a fire kang, otherwise what would it be called? Then he thought about it, huh? This is an opportunity to become famous, this is a good way to improve your reputation, but it has to be said by oneself, isn’t this a little bit Shame on you.
He glanced at Lao Yang, coughed slightly and said: "Students of this courtyard, we call you Yan Yanbu Gui." Lao Yang understood the meaning in his heart and said: "Students of Siheyuan, what do you think is Yanbu Gui's name for cooking? How is it?"
He Ye has a black line on his forehead, and Yanbu is expensive on the fire bed? What do you think? You people in the courtyard, what do you think? It's hard to make it explode, isn't it?
Then I thought, it can't be called anything else, Yan's Fire Kang. The neighbors in the courtyard know who surnamed Yan invented it. Alas, for the sake of prestige, I can only accept this dishonorable cook and suppress it. He nodded disgustingly and said: "Yes, very good!".
Lao Yang chuckled, patted his head and said: "Students of the Siheyuan, we just thought about it. If you don't accept the food stamps, you will pass on our cooking skills. We can't be sorry to you. In the future, we will only be able to do it for you." No matter how much you charge for "Yanbu Guihuo Kang", we will share half of it with you, and it will be regarded as our tuition." He Ye got the "Yanbu Guihuo Kang" again and the four cooks twitched their eyes. Sure enough, I'm not used to this, and when I got him to give me half of the money, I shook my head again and again.
I didn't spend a penny, and the neighbors in the courtyard gave me a fire kang for free. How could I let the neighbors in the courtyard ask for money? What's more, it was unethical to ask for money for a long time.
