"Daddy, this is too fast, I, I think I'm still young now, and I'm not in a hurry."
Zhang Chao never expected that his Wang Jiazhuang was finally exempted from marrying Uncle Wang's daughter, and his father and Qin Qiong had already helped him set up a marriage.
Dad said, "What's early, you are twenty-one years old this year, you see that other families in the village are about the same age as you, which one is not a child."
Daddy shook his head.
In many places, men begin to marry when they reach the age of fifteen, and as for girls, they can marry as soon as the geranium arrives, and they can talk about their relatives after the age of thirteen.
For example, Zhang Chao, who has officially become a young man at the age of 21, but has not yet married, is definitely an older young man who married late.
Only those children of big and wealthy families will have some of them married late like this.
But those high-ranking children seem to have a lot of late marriages, but there are many slaves and maids in the family, and many of them have already had intercourse girls before marriage, and even gave birth to many maids and children.
The children of the high family got married late, but they were just looking for the right women.
People get married late, that's the fifth king of diamonds, and if you are a country man in his twenties and haven't married, that's the fifth king of singles.
"I want to make my own decisions about my marriage."
Zhang Chao said helplessly.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Chao's father, who has always been more indulgent, glared at him this time, and said irrefutably, "Nonsense, since ancient times, the marriage of children has been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker."
Don't say much about the matter of whether you are buying something, your father-in-law's vision will not be wrong, I believe in him, and you must also believe in him.
Don't let down the kindness of others.
If you don't want to go to Hebei, you can forget it, but this time, no matter what, you are not allowed to refuse. ” "Daddy" "Don't say it, if you still treat me as your father, you will be honest and obedient, and go to Chang'an with me early tomorrow morning.
If you think I can't control you, then you can go by yourself, this house can't accommodate you. ” Speaking of this, Zhang Chao couldn't say a word more.
The baby is bitter and the baby does not speak.
I didn't expect the Tang Dynasty to have to accept an arranged marriage.
"Are you going or not" "Go, I can't go."
Zhang Chao replied helplessly.
Daddy had a relieved look on his face, stroking his beard and smiling.
Zhang Chao had to ask Ke Wu to bring the seven daughters and three sisters home first.
"Fifth uncle, the three of them will arrange for accommodation at your house first, and they will come to our village to help make noodles from tomorrow."
Ke Wu smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, no problem." ” The three girls are no strangers to Zhangjiagou, and they have been to the third sister's house once before, but the meaning of this time is different, and they are still a little curious and nervous.
It's a pity that Zhang Chao is not in the mood to pay much attention to them now, so he went back to the small courtyard directly after a few words.
The bolt led the horse to wash, and Zhang Chao entered the cave by himself.
Until before going to bed, Zhang Chao was a little depressed, fortunately everything went smoothly at home, he went for the past two days, every day the pastry business is very good, now the sales of yellow buns have reached 30,000 per day, and the bean dregs nest has also exceeded 10,000, and the higher price of big meat buns is also selling very hot, all of which are sold to 5,000 per day, and soybean milk and fritters are also selling very well, and even the tofu and bean sprouts sold by the way also have good sales.
"Tomorrow, let's launch the woad buns, use the woad cabbage as the filling, add a little lard and put some lard residue.
Let's do a trial sale of 1,000 first, and if it sells well, then gradually increase the supply, and our fried buns are also sold together. ” The four shops outside Chang'an City have also been rushed out and will be officially opened tomorrow.
With these four directly-operated stores, the sales of the Zhang family can increase a lot, which is a good thing.
Zhang's meals are now more than just yellow buns, but more and more abundant.
However, there is also some bad news, Chang'an's grain prices have fallen again in the past two days, the last time it fell by 30%, and it has fallen a lot in the past two days, and the original millet noodles have fallen from 301 buckets to 211, and they have fallen to 180 in these two days.
The decline in grain prices has led to an overall decline in various prices in Chang'an.
Fortunately, Zhang Chao no longer buys grain and hoards now, and no longer buys millet noodles at home before they run out, and other white noodles are only booked the next day in various stores in Chang'an, and the bags are delivered to his home in each store.
The labor wages for making pastries are also paid with grain, and although the drop in food prices has affected the Zhang family's pastry business, it is still enduring.
Zhang Chao let the price of his own pastry follow the price of grain, and the price of grain in Chang'an fell, and the price of Zhang's pastry also dropped in three days at most.
The three-day buffer period is also designed to reduce the losses caused by the drop in food.
With this three-day buffer period, Zhang Chao was able to minimize the cost risk.
However, the biggest problem facing Zhang Chao now is the insufficient supply of alkali raw materials.
For this reason, Zhang Chao had to let people go farther away to purchase alkali stone, etc., on the other hand, Zhang Chao had to use the soil method to make alkali.
Collect plant ash and flush it to extract plant wood alkali.
This method is relatively stupid, and a large amount of plant ash can obtain very little alkali, which is time-consuming and laborious.
But in the case of alkali stone insufficiency, it can only be like this.
The engineering team of Zhangjiaban is still very busy, and the list of booking the pankang to change the stove will be lined up until the new year.

In the past two days, the 10 engineering teams have also moved to Chang'an to work for several national officials who have joined the team.
"Over there, Zhao Craftsman asked people to bring a message, saying that it was our kang stove, and after several grandfathers of the country recommended and promoted, now many nobles in Chang'an are very interested, and they have sent people to invite us.
They are now estimated to be unable to come back for the time being, and there are many people in Chang'an who want to change the kang to the stove. ” "This is a good thing, since the business is booming and the business is good, I think we can recruit more people.
Anyway, it's winter, and it's the time of farming, and many rural people are idle at home and have nothing to do.
We don't need any craftsmanship to change the kang into a stove, it is enough to have a mason in a group, and the other eight or nine people, old and young, can do it. ” Zhang Chao plans to take advantage of the current wind to pull a few more construction teams out.
Whether it is a pankang or a stove, in fact, it is not very difficult, there is a craftsman, the key is that they can get Zhang Chao's construction drawings and give guidance, and the rest is just the true work of the masons.
Zhangjiaban's kang stove construction team has no base salary, and the practice is that if there is work, you will get money.
The head craftsman is given six liters of millet a day, and each of the nine small workers receives two liters of millet a day, plus three meals.
However, Zhang Chao charges a group of five buckets of millet per day, and the income is very large.
If it is for those big families to make kang stoves, there are more requirements, and Zhang Chao charges more.
No matter how many construction teams Zhang Chao pulls up, he will not lose money.
On the contrary, the more construction teams, the more work starts, and the more money is made.
"Recruit ten teams of people first, and the small workers will use our folks in Bailu Township, and the craftsmen will be arbitrary."
"Everyone's wages, let's settle monthly.
At the end of each month, the unified account is paid in millet seeds. ” Zhang Chao estimates that this business will not be done for too long, and in the end, there will definitely be craftsmen who will be able to understand Zhang Chao's kang stove practice, and there will be counterfeit products at that time.
If there are more people who will compete, then they will reduce the price and compete, and the profit will not be so big.
Now Zhang Chao has to take advantage of the fact that there is no competition now and try to grab more markets.
Engaging in monthly payment of wages is also to prevent those craftsmen from unruly.
If these people have learned to make a kang stove, and they are not satisfied with the salary of nine liters of millet noodles a day, and want to go out to work by themselves, then Zhang Chao can at least deduct their wages for the month.
"One thing you should pay attention to is that the newly recruited master or small worker will ask them to sign a contract.
Let them promise not to steal and sell our technology, and if they dare to sell our technology, or run out to take the job themselves, they will have to lose money.
Liquidated damages, let's order a hundred first. ” Some things, although they may not be binding when they do happen, it is better to talk about the ugly things first than to argue after the fact.
"Okay."
Ke Shan, Ke Wu, and the two deputy leaders of Zhangjiaban all nodded yes.
Now Zhangjiaban is going to expand, it turned out to be ten groups, and it will be twenty groups soon, and there are many teams under the two of them, Zhang Chao gives them a lot of wages, and each group repairs a kang stove, they can lift five liters of millet and give six liters to the craftsman's head It seems that one liter is less.
But the master can only get a commission from the work of his own group, but they can get a commission from ten of his own groups.
One group has five liters, and if all ten groups have work to do, then they will be able to mention five buckets that day.
This share of income is quite high, so high that they are so excited that they don't know what to say.
For Zhang Chao, the two are also more and more grateful.
However, Zhang Chao is still the one who earns the most, a construction team, the salary for a day is two buckets and four liters of millet for a day, and then Ke Shan, the deputy head of the team, they get a commission of five liters, and the standard for these people is one liter of millet per person per day, and the total expenditure is only four buckets, Zhang Chao's net profit is still one bucket, 20% of the net profit, which is a very good income.
If the twenty construction teams are fully mobilized, they can bring Zhang Chao two stone millet in one day, and Zhang Chao's commission to Keshan Ke Wu and the two is also very high, and the ten teams under each person start work together, and they can also earn five buckets of millet a day.
"The shops rented in several surrounding counties should also add some manpower to make our iron gun noodles sign and make a noise."
If alkaline noodles are insufficient, the production of noodles and noodles will be limited, so Zhang Chao plans to seek breakthroughs from other aspects.
For example, increase the supply of noodles that do not need to be leavened, such as selling noodles, dead noodles, and making dumplings to make wontons.
Finally, Zhang Chao explained to Qi Niang some of the division of labor arrangements and precautions of the women's group at home.
This can also be regarded as a party of Zhangjia Group, summary report, work arrangement, etc.
Zhang Chao intends to hold such a regular meeting every morning and evening in the future.
The morning meeting is to get up early in the morning, and the evening party is after dinner, everyone sits on the kang of the Zhang family and chats about the day's work.
It's a more relaxed way, which not only does a good job, but also brings people closer.
"Okay, let's stop here today, it's not early, everyone go back early to rest."
Qi Niang got up with a smile, "San Lang wants to rest early, and he has to go to Chang'an City tomorrow morning to say goodbye." ” Zhang Chao patted his forehead, his heart ached, but he had to smile.
Damn, doesn't it mean that the Tang Dynasty is the most open, why do you have to accept an arranged marriage?
