Chapter 178: Grace and Might
Coming out of the Tang family, Xue Qianxun and Zhao Zishu went out together, and on the way, Zhao Zishu said: "Why does your little daughter-in-law have so many quirky ideas,"
Xue Qianxun said lightly: "It's normal," obviously he was used to making some strange things from time to time.
Zhao Zishu sneered and said: "I have to say, she is serious, but it is really scary, even I can't help but listen to her orders." ”
Xue Qianxun smiled silently, agreeing with Zhao Zishu's words.
After a while, Xue Qianxun said: "I have already helped you put down the shop, you have time to take a look, if you are not satisfied with the decoration, you are looking for someone to renovate it." ”
Zhao Zishu said informally: "Or are you the best to me, how much did it cost?" Let Sixi send it to you in the evening,"
"Fifteen hundred taels," Xue Qianxun couldn't stand his tone, and walked a few steps away from him until he opened up the distance between the two and said, "Those things Qing'er said just now, let's get our own things!" It's faster. ”
"Don't." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Xue Qianxun had already pulled him into a large piece, and hurriedly chased after him.
In the past half a month, due to the clear division of labor, Zhao Zishu was busy decorating the shop, and from time to time he went to Tang's house to pull Tang Qing'er with him, and asked her to give some advice. ”
If Zhao Zishu came home again, he took Xue Qianxun with him, and the Li family didn't say anything more, Tang Qing'er secretly smiled at Xue Qianxun: "I work with Zhao Zishu, my mother is not at ease, but she doesn't know, I am the most dangerous with you,"
Xue Qianxun patted her forehead and said, "What nonsense? ”
Tang Qinger smiled, turned around and continued to discuss the decoration of the shop with Zhao Zishu.
On the way back, Xue Qianxun and Zhao Zishu sent Tang Qing'er home together, Zhao Zishu said: "If this soap starts to be sold in the shop, how much does it cost?" ”
Tang Qing'er was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that last time she asked Tang Liang how much money it cost to buy sapon, Tang Liang said that a piece of sapony is fifteen yuan, and the soap they made added a lot of things to the original saponin, how can it cost twenty-five yuan a piece, compared to pea flour, it must be cheaper, tunnel: "Our soap is fragrant and smells good, how can we get twenty-five yuan a piece."
Xue Qianxun glanced at her, lowered his head and calculated: "Buy alkali soap, spices, soap boxes, hire people to work, decorate shops, etc., so that a piece of soap sells for twenty-five yuan, how many years does it take to sell it to return to its original cost?" ”
Tang Qing'er thought about what he said, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid that it will be too expensive, and no one will buy it." ”
Zhao Zishu interjected at this time: "Rare things are expensive, although the world is not good now, some people are precarious, and they can't eat enough, but there are still many rich families in the town, if you sell these things to some rich ladies, they will be favored by them at that time, it is conceivable that no matter how expensive they are, it will not be a problem!" ”
Tang Qing'er raised her eyebrows and said, "I can't see it, you still have some business minds,"
Zhao Zishu Yaoyao nodded, and said in an unkind tone: "Who do you think of me, do you know that my father is ......," After speaking, he quickly stopped his mouth and turned the topic away with a smile.
Tang Qing'er had heard Xue Qianxun mention the Zhao family's past before, and saw that he was uncomfortable, so he hurriedly said to Xue Qianxun: "In this way, Zhao Gongzi can be regarded as a person who cannot be seen, and the sea water cannot be measured,"
Xue Qianxun didn't bother to look at her, this person usually looks very smart, but he always makes a fool when it is critical, and said to the two of them: "I have already found the person who makes soap, I bought him, it is a death contract." ”
"Huh?"
Xue Qianxun saw that she didn't understand: "This person used to run a shop at home, and then he was cheated, and the family's money was swept away, and it happened that his son was sick, and his daughter-in-law ran away with that person, he sold the only remaining shop in the family to his son for treatment, and now his son is well, but he doesn't even have a place to live, so I bought the two fathers and sons from Renyazi, and I will send them to you tomorrow,"
Tang Qing'er was surprised, in order to make soap, this person actually did the business of buying and selling human beings, and said dumbfounded: "Then how much did these two people spend to buy it?"
Xue Qianxun stretched out a finger and said, "One hundred taels." ”
"Oh, that's okay," Tang Qing'er said with a slow breath.
Zhao Zishu laughed at her little family and said: "This is because that man has craftsmanship, if he doesn't even have a skill, it is worth ten taels of silver, you look at the people begging around, you really can't stand it, in order to survive, you can only sell yourself,"
"......" Tang Qing'er was speechless.
Zhao Zishu said again: "Wait for Qianxun to bring you the master who made soap, you let him make some first, and I will let my mother and Qianxun's mother give the soap to the ladies who are better with them. ”
Xue Qianxun said: "This is a good idea, you can consider it." ”
Tang Qing'er thought about it and said, "Actually, there is another place that you didn't count,"
"Where?" Xue Qianxun said.
"Qinglou!" Tang Qing'er opened her mouth and said two words.
Hearing this, Zhao Zishu covered his mouth and snickered, Xue Qianxun squinted his eyes and said, "Where did you hear about Qinglou." ”
on TV! Tang Qing'er couldn't say the same to him, so she could only say: "I've heard passers-by say, that place belongs to the land of fireworks, I know what place it is when I think about it, and the women there also love beauty, if they like it, wouldn't it be another source of customers,"
Xue Qianxun took her hand and clenched it tightly and said, "Don't you mention the word Qinglou in front of others, do you know the way?" ”
Tang Qing'er said sullenly: "Zhilu said, I didn't say it to sell soap faster. ”
Zhao Zishu saw that the atmosphere between the two was not right, and said with a smile: "I have been to the Qinglou, but I have not been to this town, when will Qianxun go and see the two of us together, you know me, I am a regular guest in the Qinglou in the capital, Ha Lu Ha ......"
Not to mention that it's okay, the more Xue Qianxun's face became more and more ugly, and he glanced at Zhao Zishu lightly and said, "When I have nothing to do, I will visit Lord Yawang, I still have some friendship with him." ”
Thinking of Wang Yanhua, Zhao Zishu immediately bent down to Xue Qianxun and apologized: "It's a little mistake, don't dare to talk nonsense anymore." ”
Tang Qing'er saw that he was deflated, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, and said to Xue Qianxun: "It turns out that I am not the only one who is afraid of you, but others are also afraid of you,"
Xue Qianxun tugged her hand hard and said, "I forgot what happened last time, I don't mind when you think about it,"
Tang Qing'er's head shook like a rattle, and she said straightly: "The little one is wrong, I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore." After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Zishu, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
On the day, Xue Qianxun brought the two fathers and sons to the Tang family, Tang Qing'er glanced at the middle-aged man, although the clothes were very plain, his appearance looked more like his father than his father, the little boy was a little afraid of life, hiding behind his father, he didn't dare to look at them with his eyes open, Xue Qianxun introduced: "Qing'er, this is Master Liu and his son Xiaobao,"
I was afraid that on the way, Xue Qianxun introduced the Tang family to Master Liu, and after Xue Qianxun finished speaking, he hurriedly pulled his son to salute Tang Qing'er and said, "Miss Tang is good,"
Tang Qing'er waved her hand and said, "Master Liu doesn't need to be so polite," although she knew that he was a slave bought by Xue Qianxun, she was still a little uncomfortable with letting such a person grovel to herself, so she stepped forward and took Xiaobao's hand and said, "What's your name, tell my sister,"
Xiaobao looked at Tang Qing'er's smiling face, then looked at his father, saw his father nodding, and slowly stepped forward and said, "My big name is Liu Chuanfeng, and my little name is Xiaobao,"
"Xiaobao answered so well," Tang Qing'er said as she touched his forehead.
At this time, Jiao'er and Man'er walked over holding hands, and Man'er said crisply: "Eldest sister, this little brother is so cute, he looks more handsome than his taro brother,"
Jiao'er pinched Man'er's nose and said, "How small is the taro, and now he can just walk, and he is even more lazy, not cute at all,"
This family is the youngest taro, recently he was able to walk, the family was happy for several days, who expected this little guy to be very lazy, you let him go, he sits, you let him sit, he will lie down, you let him lie down, he will close his eyes and sleep, don't care how you tease him, so Tang Qinger agrees with what Jiao'er said, taro is not cute at all.
Man'er took Xiaobao's hand and said, "Let's go play together!" ”
Tang Qing'er will get married next year, Jiao'er is the only girl in the family, her mind is naturally maturing, and when she saw that Man'er had a new partner, she said: "Then you go to play, don't bump into it, I'll go to the kitchen to help my mother cook." ”
Man'er nodded, sensible is not noisy.
There were only three people left in the courtyard, and Tang Qing'er said to Master Liu: "Then let's go to my courtyard, I'll tell you what I think, and you can see if there is anything you need to pay attention to,"
Master Liu nodded and followed Tang Qing'er and Xue Qianxun to the backyard.
After Master Liu listened to Tang Qing'er's words, he looked excited and said: "Your idea is very good, I have perfected the shortcomings of saponine, I just need to re-compare the prepared raw materials,"
Tang Qing'er nodded at Xue Qinxue, Xue Qianxun understood what she meant, and he said to Master Liu: "Look at what else you need to prepare in terms of making soap." ”
Master Liu didn't cheat and play tricks, and said straightforwardly: "I went to the shop with the young master in the morning to see, there is a big place in the backyard, we put all the things we need to prepare in the backyard, and make a room for me, where I can make soap." ”
Xue Qianxun nodded and said, "It's easy, I'll let people start preparing when I go back." ”
Master Liu said again: "Dare to ask Miss, there is pen and ink at home, and the little one should write down the things that need to be prepared on paper and hand them to the young master, so that he can prepare quickly,"
With such thoughtful thoughts, Tang Qing'er smiled and narrowed her eyes: "I'll get it for you," this Master Liu has both skills and literacy, and it only cost a hundred taels of silver to buy him, and Xue Qianxun really earned it.
After Tang Qing'er left, Master Liu said to Xue Qianxun: "Young master, the ancestor of the slave is the person who makes saponin, but there has never been such a bold conjecture as Madame, and she actually succeeded in doing it, Madame is really a smart person,"
Xue Qianxun smiled lightly: "Although I bought you a death deed, but you are still the same as before, after the shop over there opens, I will work with the owner to let you be the shopkeeper, and then prepare a house for you and your son to live in,"
Master Liu knew that the day someone bought him, he would live a slave-like life, he just wanted to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and not let his son suffer with him, hearing the young master say this, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the young master and said, "Young Master Xie is sympathetic to our father and son." ”
Tang Qing'er entered the house with a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and saw this scene, and asked, "Why are you still kneeling?"
Master Liu said: "The slave is grateful to the young master. ”
Tang Qing'er glanced at Xue Qianxun lightly, and Xue Qianxun's old god was saying, "Get up, there is no need to do this in the future,"
Master Liu said in a condensed tone: "Yes, young master." ”
Jiang is really still old and spicy, and Xue Qianxun's words of grace and power made Master Liu work for him even more desperately.
