Chapter 1161: Salary of Twenty Taels

Gu Yundong got someone to arrange for them to line up and come one by one.

Then, she lifted the other three pieces of cloth.

Everyone was stunned and looked at the three facilities.

One was a swing set. They knew this. The other was a small wooden horse. They also knew this.

The last one…

Gu Yundong did not say much and let Keke and Fifth Miss play.

The two of them immediately sat on both sides of the seesaw. There were two small stools on both sides, and there was a rail in front for you to hold.

After Keke sat on it, she tapped her toes and flew up.

The other children were attracted over, but they also wanted to play with the slide. They looked at this and then at that, their faces filled with anxiety.

But these children were still queuing obediently because of what Gu Yundong had said.

Soon, people at the swing set and the small wooden horse went up to play, but the most lively thing was still the slide.

A madam looked at the lively scene and could not help but say, “My son has always liked to pretend to be an adult. It’s rare to see him acting like this now.”

“That’s right. My girl has always been afraid of heights. She doesn’t mind now.” Presumably, she had been pretending in the past, but when she saw something fun, she revealed her true colors.

The children played together. These people were all children from wealthy families. They had been trained in basic etiquette since they were young. Most of them could listen, so it was not difficult to manage them.

Aunt Ke was in charge here. She had always liked children and could even tell stories to these little fellows.

Gu Yundong saw that there was nothing else for her to do here, so she brought Bian Han and Gu Xiaoxi out.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the courtyard, they could not help but feel excited.

“I didn’t expect it to be so popular. Look at those children. They’re having a lot of fun.”

“I think the guests are also very satisfied.”

Gu Yundong led them to the counter and said, “When this place becomes popular, there might be business. Uncle, you have to be mentally prepared.”

Bian Han clenched his fists. “Will there really be business? Will they spend money to make such a thing and leave it at home?”

“Of course there will. You’ll know when the time comes.”

As they spoke, the three of them stopped in front of the counter.

Madam Qiu was already there. When she saw Gu Yundong, she nodded slightly.

Then, he took out a money bag from under the counter and pushed it in front of Bian Han. With a business-like expression, he said, “Here’s 20 taels of silver. It’s the fee for this slide. According to what we agreed on back then, there’s still a year to repair it.”

Twenty taels of silver. Was it really twenty taels of silver?

Bian Han could be considered to have seen the world now, but earning 20 taels in one go was still a huge sense of accomplishment for him.

He nodded quickly. “I’ll come over often to see if the slide swing is damaged. Many, many thanks.”

Bian Han kept the silver and smiled widely.

It had only been half a month, but he had already earned so much.

After the payment was settled, Gu Yundong left New Tea Pavilion with the two of them.

After getting into the carriage, Bian Han opened the money bag and took out the silver pieces inside. He handed three taels of silver to Gu Xiaoxi.

“Here’s your pay.”

The workers in the prefectural city earned about three taels of silver a month. This was the case for Su Changshun and Zhuangzi in Gu Yundong’s shop.

Gu Xiaoxi had actually only worked for half a month. However, the estimated working period was a month. The salary had already been discussed, so the money wasn’t too much.
