Chapter 31: Surprise and Loss

Du Yuan was a little arrogant, since joining the Chen family's coal yard, he had sold more and more briquettes in the past few days. On the first day, he only sold 200 briquettes, which could only be paid 20 cents, which was much less than the hard work he could do for others. Du Yuan wanted to leave it alone, but was scolded by his wife Ma, saying that he was a man who could only sell coolies without interest.

Du Yuan was angry and grabbed his wife and snapped wildly, but he also dispelled the idea of picking a child, and got up early the next day to pull the coal cart out to sell. He is a smart man, his mouth is extremely sweet, and honeycomb coal is indeed a good thing, and the next day he actually developed four customers, sold nearly 500 briquettes, and calculated that the commission for a day is nearly 50 yuan, which is more than the previous days to carry work for people. Du Yuan's morale suddenly increased greatly, and he worked harder to sell, and in the next few days, he kept four or five new customers every day, and he could earn forty or fifty copper coins every day, thinking that his wife could earn one or two silver every month when he helped cook in the Chen family, Du Yuan's heart was even greater, and he worked like this for a year and a half, and the family could build two more side houses, and when he had a son in the future, he would not worry about a place to live......

On this day, Du Yuan sold the briquettes on the car early, and pulled the empty car to the outside of the city, although the sun is still high, he doesn't plan to work anymore today, he just wants to go to the coal yard and blow a with people, eat a beautiful dinner, and take his wife home together.

The military households who sold coal had a very regular life, and in the morning they began to go out of the city gate to the coal yard to pull briquettes, sell briquettes for a day, and then go out of the city in the evening, and go home with the settled wages after a meal. Of course, you can also choose to add a cart of briquettes to pull back when you go back, so you don't have to come to the coal yard again the next morning, but in that case, you won't be able to enjoy the breakfast of the coal yard tube, so many military households would rather run more than come to the coal yard in the morning.

Among the 14 military households in the sales group, there are not many like Du Yuan who have sold so much, and most of the military households can only find one or two customers after working hard a day, selling one to two hundred briquettes. Many people came to Chen Yue to complain and ask Chen Yue to change their positions, and they preferred to do the work of making briquettes. At this time, Chen Yue patiently persuaded them, persuading them not to be defeated by the difficulties in front of them, to learn more from successful people such as Du Yuan, to learn how to develop more customers, and to paint a bright future for them.

"Why do I ask you to remember the name and address of each customer, because in the future, these people's coal will be sent by you, what you do is not a hammer deal, but a long-term business, think about it, if each of you has one or two hundred customers who burn our briquettes, then you can easily earn one or two taels of silver every month in the future, and there are 100,000 households in Beijing, but we are the only one who makes honeycomb coal, as long as you are not afraid of hardship, down-to-earth and willing to work, In the future, there will be more and more customers who use our briquettes, maybe half a year later, each of you has thousands of customers in your hands, and you can't send briquettes at that time, and then you can easily earn dozens of taels of silver every month, and you won't agree if you don't let you do it! ”

Chen Yue's words were full of endless temptation, and these military households were full of enthusiasm when they heard it.

"My God, if I really have thousands of customers in my hands, I will be tired and half dead every month to deliver coal." A military household said exaggeratedly.

"You stupid, you are stupid, where will you be able to deliver coal by yourself at that time, there are coolies who have no work on the vegetable market street, as long as you produce thirty or forty copper plates a day, and some people will work for you!" Du Yuan said disdainfully.

"Aren't we all bosses?" Another soldier laughed.

"By then, the big guys will be the bosses, and they can all lie down and count the money, believe me, this day won't be too long!" Chen Yue waved his arms and cheered for the big guys.

"Eat quickly, get paid after eating!" Chen Mo and Chen Yan carried the table to the courtyard, and the bamboo basket next to the table was full of copper coins, which Chen Yue took three family members to the money village to exchange after lunch.

Considering that the military households are very poor, Chen Yue stipulated that the salary will be paid every ten days, and the day when the money is officially paid today.

Chen Jianghe was invited to sit behind the desk, and he would personally pay the military families present in a few moments. Chen Ping stood in front of the table with the account book in his hand, he was the only one who could read and write, and he would do what everyone should be paid, Wu Wan'er was a woman after all, and it was inconvenient for her to come out on this occasion.

"Group 1 of briquettes, Zhou Wen, He Jin, and Ma Tao, made a total of 28,400 briquettes, and deserved 1,420 copper coins.

2 groups of briquettes, Zheng Ming, He Gang, and Niu San, made a total of 29,000 briquettes, and deserved 1,450 copper coins.

……”

The first was the salary of the military households who made briquettes, and they cooperated according to the division of labor in the group, and every time they read the name of a group, three men came forward with a smile on their faces, and took the copper coins they deserved from Chen Jianghe, and they would divide the money equally after they got it.

Since he just started making briquettes, he was not very skilled, and most of the ten days of work in each group made nearly 30,000 yuan, and after proportionally dividing them, everyone could get four or five hundred copper coins, which was much better than them going to work as coolies, after all, there were three meals a day here, and they could eat enough every meal!

They all do the same work, and no one is lazy, and most of the two dozen or so military households who make briquettes earn about the same amount of money, and compared to them, the difference between the sales group is really too great.

"The sales group, Li Sheng, sold a total of 2,400 briquettes, and deserved 240 copper coins."

With Chen Pingqing's words, a man with eyebrows walked out, wordlessly took a string of very small copper coins from Chen Jianghe's hand and put them in his arms, earning two hundred and forty wen in ten days, and only earning twenty wen a day, not even enough for his family's rations.

Fortunately, I didn't choose to sell briquettes, looking at Li Sheng, who can be considered a good speaker on weekdays, I didn't expect to make this amount of money by selling only this bit of coal, many military households in the production team thought to themselves.

Chen Jianghe patted the back of Li Sheng's hand wordlessly, encouraging him, he really wanted to give him more copper coins, but the rules are the rules.

"The sales group, Huang San'er, sold a total of 3,100 briquettes, and deserved 310 copper coins."

This military household named Huang San'er is slightly better, earning 300 yuan in ten days.

As Chen Ping read out one name after another, the military households either joyfully or sadly stepped forward to receive their copper coins from Chen Jianghe. Among these people, those with poor performance can only earn more than 200 copper dollars, while those with good performance can earn more than 400 yuan, a difference of ten ten.

"The sales group, Du Yuan, sold a total of 7,100 briquettes, and deserved 710 copper coins!" As the last person's name was pronounced, the audience immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at Du Yuan who walked out to receive the money in shock, but they didn't expect him to make so much money!

"Oh my God, seven hundred and ten wen, three hundred more than me!" The military households who were still glad that they did not sell coal just now were shocked, they did not expect to make so much money by selling coal.

"He's the only one who earns so much, think about those who only have two hundred dollars!" Zhou Wen, the little flag officer, was the most calm, calmly reminding the two members of the same group.

Yes, although Du Yuan made a lot of money, he didn't make much money, and he was still making briquettes, and many people's hearts were suddenly balanced.

"Sooner or later, I'll make so much money!" Li Sheng looked at the jubilant Du Yuan jealously, cheering for himself in his heart.
