In the latter part of June, five small sets were sold. After deducting material and labor costs, the profit was seven taels and two maces.
Half for each person, Qin Yao received three taels and six maces.
There were still three small sets on hand, and July's profit was already stable.
Liu the carpenter bought this batch of wood all from Liu Family Village, at prices slightly higher than selling to lumber merchants, which was essentially raising the cost price and giving more profit to the villagers.
Such a 50% pure profit margin as in late June is unlikely to be reached in July.
Qin Yao set a profit baseline, keeping it above 30%, so that neither she nor Liu the carpenter would be so exhausted, and they could pay a few more people wages.
Upon learning this, Liu Ji grumbled for several days, calling Qin Yao foolish and hypocritical, blah blah blah.
Qin Yao caught him and gave him a private lesson, explaining to him what human malice means.
