Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 343 It’s easy to do things with acquaintances

So it was a little different from Bai Yunhe's usual flamboyant style of wearing red and green. Bai Yunhe, who was sitting there flipping through the warehouse detailed book, was also very happy to see Hua Lei coming over.

He is now on duty to study at the Ministry of Industry. He knew in advance that Hua Lei would come to the Ministry of Industry to borrow farm tools, so he has been waiting here for Hua Lei to come over these few days.

Seeing Hua Lei coming over, Bai Yunhe immediately took up the registration book of the counter and miscellaneous department and wanted to take Hua Lei to the warehouse to collect it. He also pushed Zhu Daren, a colleague from the counter and miscellaneous department who had stood up, to sit down on the chair, saying that such a small matter should be handled by himself as an intern. Zhu Daren, a colleague who was already a little lazy, really sat down on the chair and didn't get up.

So, Bai Yunhe took Hualei and Uncle Fu to the tool cabinet department's warehouse, which was dedicated to storing farm tools. There were all kinds of farm tools here.

Of course, although they are farm tools, they are divided into new and old, good and bad. There must be a reason why Bai Yunhe deliberately waited for the buds here in advance.

So, in the end, all the items lent to Hualei were the latest, brand new and sharp shovels, pickaxes, hoes, sickles, and hoes. As long as they were good stuff, Bai Yunhe would put them on Hualei's IOU list.

Even if there were farm tools that were temporarily unavailable, and even bowls and chopsticks needed by the pioneers themselves, Bai Yunhe had provided them. His excuse was that eating was a big deal, and bowls and chopsticks would definitely be needed, and it would be troublesome to apply for them later, but the emperor agreed anyway.

Moreover, the maximum quantity was written down, and the farm tools were sorted out as quickly as possible and placed in a separate warehouse. People from the prison would come to collect these farm tools and supplies later.

What Hualei was wondering was why the Ministry of Industry’s warehouse still provided bowls and chopsticks?

By the time Mr. Zhu, a colleague who had been lazing in his chair, woke up, Bai Yunhe and Hua Lei had already signed and put their fingerprints on the IOU details list.

Looking at the dazzling signature and red handprint, Mr. Zhu was a little unhappy. However, soon, the two twenty-liang silver ingots from Uncle Fu made his originally gloomy face suddenly become sunny again.

Bai Yunhe followed beside him with a "fawning" look on his face and a somewhat "envious" look in his eyes, which made him even more proud. Humph, boy, are you envious?

Being ahead of others in everything only makes him more tired. However, the clever flower buds made his proud mood even more sublimated and upgraded.

Hualei quietly approached Lord Zhu and flattered him without blushing, "Lord Zhu is really a strong general with no weak soldiers under him. This Mr. Bai is really capable of doing things. I thought Mr. Bai couldn't handle such a large number of tedious and complicated things.

Even if it could be done, it would take at least two hours. I didn't expect it to be done in less than an hour. This must be because Master Zhu taught well. It is conceivable that Master Zhu's ability to do things must have reached a higher level."

As he spoke, Hualei gave a thumbs up. Then, with Master Zhu looking very satisfied, Bai Yunhe suppressed his laughter and sent Hualei out the door.

I secretly sighed in my heart that Miss Hua is so exquisite and she and I are so in tune with each other!

Looking at Hua Lei's somewhat thin back, Bai Yunhe's face showed a hint of hesitation. When he thought of his sisters-in-law at home, there was no trace of smile on his face.

Since my sisters-in-law found out about my collaboration with Miss Hua on sweaters, they have been acting sarcastic in front of me.

At the beginning, when they didn't earn much money, it was still okay. But as they earned more and more money, their sisters-in-law became unhappy and started to say unpleasant things in their words.

Especially his eldest sister-in-law, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Dingxi Marquis's Mansion, has repeatedly expressed in front of his grandmother and mother, explicitly and implicitly, that the matter of the woolen sweater should be considered public.

Among the aristocratic families in the capital, there are some unwritten rules that stipulate that for the children of the family, the monthly salary they earn before getting married is generally regarded as their own private money and belongs to them under their own control.

If you do business, there are two situations. If the capital is from the public, then 80% of the profit should be paid to the public, and 20% is your own hard work fee. If the capital is your own, then you need to pay 20% to the public, and 80% is your own.

Ever since he got his share of the sweater from Miss Hua, he has returned all of his grandfather's capital, and he has also paid 20% to the public according to the customary regulations.

However, the sisters-in-law were still not satisfied, believing that the money from their grandfather should be considered as public money, and that they should pay 80% to the public money. So because of this, the sisters-in-law were not in a good mood recently.

Although his grandfather didn't say anything, he still put the silver note he returned to him into his own pocket in front of his brothers.

He also told his grandchildren that if they wanted to do business in the future and lacked capital, he would lend it to them without interest just like he had lent it to Bai Yunhe.

Of course, the brothers didn’t say anything unpleasant to me, and we usually got along in harmony.

However, in July, after he received his share of the sweater profits for the second quarter of this year, his mother appeared in front of him.

He persuaded himself that for the sake of harmony among brothers and so that his sisters-in-law would no longer give him a hard time, he should hand over 80% of his income to the public. However, this made him feel a little unhappy.

At the beginning, I told my grandfather that I would borrow his capital and the business would be my own. Moreover, I have now returned all the capital that my grandfather had given me to him.

If I agree to my mother's request now and pay 80% of the money to the public school, I will have to pay it like this in the future, so I will be very unhappy.

Although my mother advised me with the mentality of "a harmonious family brings prosperity" and her tone was very gentle, I felt that this was unfair to me, and I couldn't help but envy Pei Rongjin even more.

As the eldest son and grandson of the Zhenbei Marquisate, Old Madam Pei had already given the majority of the winery's profits to him in his own name, without him even knowing anything, making him the richest man in the Zhenbei Marquisate.

The capital for this wool sweater business was also paid by Lord Pei himself, but Pei Rongjin was a thousand-year-old little fox. He took Lord Pei's banknotes, but did not give them directly to Hualei.

Instead, he went to the bank and changed all the banknotes originally in the name of Old Marquis Pei to his own name. Then he handed the banknotes originally in his own name to Hua Lei as the capital for making his own wool sweater.
