Chen Qing came out of Liang Ji and found an open-air tea shed to sit down and slowly assemble.

The cabinet is 100 taels of silk tarpaulin, 35 meters long and 1.8 meters wide, and if you want to build a greenhouse, you need at least 5 tarpaulins. It costs 500 taels but can circle more than 200 square meters, and if you add the cost of green bricks, it will be as high as 550 taels of silver.

Such an investment is far greater than the cost of building a plastic greenhouse in modern times, but now that it is winter, if you want to make money quickly and not leave the Liang family, you can only make a fuss on your three acres of dry land. In winter, there is a shortage of greens, and growing vegetables in greenhouses has become the first choice and the only feasible method at the moment.

Chen Qing only had a few taels of loose silver in his hand, and there was a reason why he dared to imagine such a large investment. Although he helped Liang Ji survive the crisis and earned more than 20,000 taels of silver by the way, it was based on Liang Ji's original industry, and he only contributed a little strategy, so he had to share it. And helping Liang Ji to teach embroidery before, and teaching the craft is the capital that Chen Qing relies on at the moment.

Embroiderers can trade with the cloth workshop according to the stitch method they know, that is, sign a death deed to sell the craft to the cloth workshop. Chen Qing's own stitches are all contributed free of charge, he used to be Liang Zijun's daughter-in-law, so there is nothing wrong with this, but now he is out of the shackles, and he no longer needs to scruple about his feelings, and he will not ask for anything less.

The difficulty is that Chen Qing didn't want to sign a death deed with Liang Ji and be bound to the cloth shop for the rest of his life, so he had to negotiate with Liang Ji at a low price. This matter of the shopkeeper Wan can't be the master, this matter must be discussed with Liang Zijun, which is also in line with Chen Qing's intentions, at the moment he doesn't want to negotiate with Liang Zijun, please ask the shopkeeper Wan to maneuver around. Although it is still controlled by others, the price may be very low, but it doesn't matter, as long as you can draw a clear line, even if you suffer a loss, it is better than being manipulated by him for a lifetime.

Thinking about it, even if Liang Zijun is no longer cheeky, it is not good to reduce the price too much, otherwise as a hired worker, Chen Qing has a reason to go to the yamen to beat the drum and voice the grievances.

The county lord has the right to hold the employer accountable and coordinate unreasonable payments from the embroiderers who deliver their workmanship but do not get their due remuneration.

The reason why Chen Qing is so sure is that Liang Zijun will not let him go to court, otherwise Liang Ji's reputation will be damaged, and coupled with the deduction of embroidery money, it will be difficult for embroiderers with good skills to take the initiative to work in the future.

As soon as noon passed, the shopkeeper Wan, who had gone to Liangjia Village to discuss, returned to the cloth workshop and sent someone to the old house to find Chen Qing to reply. As soon as he entered the box on the second floor, Chen Qing's face darkened, and when he saw the person he didn't want to see, there was a faint sour water in his stomach......

The shopkeeper Wan smiled apologetically at first, and then explained that "it is related to the operation of the cloth workshop, and the matter is very high, so I have to ask the owner to come forward, if you have any requirements, just discuss with the owner."

Liang Zijun looked at Chen Qing with a little apprehension, and wanted to get up and take a step forward, but finally hesitated to sit down in that disgusted look, and waited for the shopkeeper to exit the box before calling out "Ah Qing......" aggrievedly

Chen Qing frowned, and after seeing the etiquette, he got up and said, "Since the owner comes forward to discuss, it is better, you and I will also settle the previous salary."

Liang Zijun rubbed the corners of his forehead, and really had nowhere to do anything about Chen Qing at this time, so he had to stretch out his hand and listen quietly.

"As far as I know, the death deed signed between the cloth mill and the medium embroiderer is 200 taels, and the upper class is 400 taels. The embroidery girl who has signed the death deed is not allowed to change to another family, and the needle method cannot be taught to others. I didn't want to sign a death deed with Leung Kee, so I had to negotiate the price separately.

Chen Qing only sells the needle method taught to your workshop before, and the needle method that he pondered later has nothing to do with Liang Ji, but please rest assured that Chen Qing will only use these needles for his own use and will not leak them to other cloth shops, and ask the owner to give a reasonable price. Chen Qing's body was straight, and he finished speaking calmly, without giving Liang Zijun a glance.

Liang Zijun frowned and sighed lightly: "You and I really want to be so angry?"

"The proprietor laughed, Chen Qing is the worker of the Liang family, how can the master and servant be different from the next life? Besides, the brother still has to settle the account, and the proprietor should not say something that Chen Qing does not understand" Chen Qing clenched his fists and tried his best to suppress the nausea in his heart.

Liang Zijun laughed at himself and said, "That's it, since we have talked about this, then we can calculate what we want, lest you force me to force you again."

Chen Qing glanced at Liang Zijun quickly with the tail of his eyes, and then took a deep breath to avoid the slightly resentful gaze.

The next negotiation went very smoothly, Liang Zijun did not argue with Chen Qing on the price, but generously offered half of the price. As for the salary of teaching embroidery girls, it is paid according to the monthly rate of the big shopkeeper.

"You have also worked in Liang Ji for a few years, and you have helped the lining workshop to recover the loss, I will not deduct any of your wages, and the more will be regarded as my owner's reward, 400 taels and you take ......it" Liang Zijun took out the silver ticket from his arms and put it on the table, and wrote a note with his own hands.

After Chen Qing signed the draw, he was just about to pick up the silver ticket when he was covered by a palm stretched out obliquely, staring at the thief's hand, Chen Qing shook it off in annoyance and glared at Liang Zijun.

"Ahem...... Liang Zijun coughed awkwardly, and then said quietly, "...... That's not the end of the matter, we still have some personal matters I want to ...... with you."

"I have nothing to talk about with you" Chen Qinghuo finished yelling, then pressed his eyelids, slowed down his tone and gritted his teeth, and said, "Who said that there is no serious matter? Now there is a big deal, can the Liang family want to do it?"

Liang Zijun was yelled at straight mouth, who told him to take care of the loss, he hurriedly lowered his head and smiled, "Do it, it's a big business, how can there be any reason to push it out?"

Chen Qing sat in a position farthest away from Liang Zijun, let the newly appointed dog leg serve tea and water, and said in a super fast tone, "I want to buy 5 silk oilcloths, may the price be profitable?"

Liang Zijun blurted out in surprise and asked, "What are you doing with so many oilcloths?"

Chen Qing's chest was sulking, and he didn't want to choke, "How much I buy is your business!"

The two of them were stunned after roaring without thinking, and the posture of staring at each other seemed to return to the moment when they first met, Liang Zijun couldn't help laughing, and said again and again, "It's none of my business...... I don't want to think that our house has been changed except for the firewood room, and you can't use it if you buy so much, and besides, it's all your own things, if you want to use it, you can use it directly, and you can ......buy it with money."

The more he spoke, the quieter he became, and seeing that Chen Qing's forehead was faintly bruised, Liang Zijun hurriedly stretched out his hand and patted his mouth, "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously...... You are the customer, you can naturally buy as much as you want, there are not so many silk tarpaulins now, I will let the guy send it to you when the oil is ready, they are all old acquaintances, just when I am the owner of the sympathetic hired labor, 50 taels a horse do you think is appropriate?"

The more Chen Qing listened to this story, the more angry he became, and the cost of silk oil cloth alone was 50 taels, plus labor and paint, it reached 58 taels a horse. Liang Zijun easily lost money and sold him, if he didn't have a crooked heart, who would believe it?" "If you are asked to be a shopkeeper, I am afraid that you will be a yellow stall! You dare to do it if you lose money?...... Whew~ I'm too lazy to talk to you, 75 taels sell me"

Chen Qing rubbed the aching forehead in frustration, he really didn't want to deal with Liang Zijun, who was a scoundrel, but now that there was a shortage of money, he had to work hard to lower the price.

Liang Zijun smiled and begged, "So I said you have to take care of it, otherwise ......"

"Get out~" Chen Qing kicked with his foot, this guy has no face and no skin, and he is really as difficult as a hob meat.

Liang Zijun hurriedly dodged a flying kick, and begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, you can say as much as you want, that ...... Ah Qing, Ye is really wrong...... Oops~ Don't get angry, let's have something to say?...... Hey, can't I kneel down for you and admit your mistakes?...... Daughter-in-law, A Qing...... Don't go~"

Liang Zijun knelt on the ground and stared at the door panel, and only after shouting did he slam the floor in frustration. He knelt down and admitted his mistake, but unfortunately people ignored the root of the tooth and left directly, so how should he make amends?

The shopkeeper of Wanda, who was hiding in the corner of the listening wall next door, heard that the person was gone, so he dared to come out to ask the owner about the next matter.

"Squeak...... The owner ...... "The shopkeeper pushed open a gap, then closed it silently, and stretched out his hand to give himself a mouth, "You didn't see anything......"

Liang Sanye petrified for three breaths, and then asked quietly, "Did you see it......?"

The old shopkeeper of Wanda blushed, and replied lightly through the door panel, "I went back to the owner, but I didn't see ......"

Liang Zijun silently got up and brushed his hem, pretending to be fine, and commanded, "Immediately go to oil 5 pieces of oilcloth, and send him the remaining silver taels together."

"Gotta ~ 25 taels, yes, I'll do it with my buddy," Wan Da shopkeeper said softly and slipped away quickly.

Liang Zijun's face turned red suddenly, and he raised his sleeves to cover his face and scolded, "An old thing, you have learned to listen to the corner......"

Chen Qing hurriedly walked out of the cloth workshop, and after returning to the old house, he was busy repairing the book and sending it to Qingping Town.

This time he negotiated with Liang Zijun, and Chen Qing not only did not suffer a loss, but also got 100 taels more than expected. Originally, if I wanted to build a greenhouse, I would have to borrow money from my aunt and a few people cheekily, but the difference at the moment was very small, which saved me such trouble. Although the oilcloth has been settled, the money for the green bricks is still 20 taels, so I have to ask someone to send a letter to my sister and borrow some emergency first.

The reason why Liang Zijun gave the money happily was probably because he also had the intention of currying favor with him, but even so, Chen Qing didn't want to accept this love, how could money smooth out those things before? He wasn't so cheap! It's a big deal to pay him back after earning money.

After delivering the letter, Chen Qing went to the grain seed store again, bought all the expected vegetable seeds, and bought an iron pot, a kettle and a few dishes. Since he wants to score, then the score is crisp, part of the coarse food at home is from the field, he eats with peace of mind, but all the objects need to be placed separately.

After buying salt, Chen Qing walked home with a large bag and a small bag. I silently calculated what I needed to prepare after separation, and the silver in my hand was less than 300 Wen, and I also needed to prepare another set of quilts and jackets, otherwise I couldn't survive the cold winter.

Putting things into the firewood room to avoid people's eyes, Chen Qing looked at the little snail house, and secretly thought that when the greenhouse was built, he could just move out of the yard and face Liang Zijun's rotten man every day.

Cooking on the fire, without waiting for Liang Zijun to get home, Chen Qing hastily finished eating and went to the firewood room for a nest. The next day, I had breakfast at dawn and hurried out.

For three days in a row, Liang Zijun couldn't find a chance to confess to Chen Qing, let alone take the guilt. Don't call people, knock on the door and don't open it, and if you are in a hurry, you will smash the door panel with something and scold people, Liang Zijun is good at saying that he has worn out his mouth, but he can only ask Chen Qing for assurance, and he will not confess to his family for the time being.

The reason why Chen Qing agreed to cover up for Liang Zijun was that he was really annoyed that he was chattering at the door every night, and second, it was really difficult to talk to the Liang family.

In addition, the Liang family has just gotten a grandson and is on the rise, and it is not good for them to take bad things to add to the blockage, but fortunately, everyone is busy with the dolls and no one pays attention to them, otherwise Chen Qing should be suspicious just because of what he is wearing at this time.

Chen Qing went out early and returned late to avoid the Liang family, but he couldn't avoid Wei Liang and Li San, who were guarding the door, and were grabbed by Li San for a long time before he said something.

Li San and Wei Liang are just subordinates of the Liang family, so naturally they can't talk too much about the family affairs of the owner, plus Chen Qing repeatedly begged not to leak his mouth, Li San had to shut up and be unaware. It's just that every time Liang Zijun goes out, he doesn't even say hello with a cold face, but Wei Liang is a responsible person, except for deliberately letting Liang Zijun step on it unrealistically and slip when leading the horse, he doesn't dare to give a look.

Liang Zijun was relieved, and only touched his nose for the small actions in the world, who let his daughter-in-law make friends with these two people? But let him beg for mercy with the two domestic servants, he couldn't pull off that face, and he thought that they were angry for their daughter-in-law, so they endured it silently.
