After Nie Shuyao had a "Chinese New Year's Eve dinner" with the workers of the county's weaving workshop, he gave them annual leave. The county's graduate school is also on holiday, but Zhenweiju is still open, but the people staying in the hotel are only foreign merchants who have to stay.

On this day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the large kitchen under Nie Shuyao's construction was open to everyone, everyone could cook one or two specialty dishes, and everyone in the store would gather together for a reunion dinner, and the big table was full of food.

In the end, the two stranded merchants also brought their own Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to eat with them, and the picture was lively. They were from Huizhou, and they wanted to go home early for the New Year, but unfortunately the heavy snow couldn't leave, so they stayed.

As soon as Nie Shuyao heard that he was from Huizhou, he thought of Huimo, and it is said that people there can make ink.

The main raw material of the pencil lead is graphite and clay mixed in a certain proportion, since the graphite is not easy to get at this time, then the raw material for making ink "bituminous coal" is the same, which is much simpler than making ink ingots.

It is understood that these two Hui merchants are indeed from a self-made Mo family, surnamed Sun, and are cousins. It's just that it's not the kind of people who have a place in big cities, so they thought of conquering small towns. And there happens to be a graduate school in Qu County, and a shop was set up near there a year ago to prepare for a big job next year.

The older one's name is Sun Shichang, and when he heard Nie Shuyao say this, he didn't understand it and asked, "Just bituminous coal?" Bituminous coal is also OK! I wonder if the girl wants to make ink? ”

Nie Shuyao said: "No, no, the advanced technical work of ink making is not something we can understand, we just want to make some gadgets with this." ”

As soon as they heard that it was not ink making, the brothers were relieved, they were outsiders, and they had no background here. In any case, it can't compare to its peers.

The slightly younger Sun Shitai said: "What's so difficult about this, the last thing we lack in the ink mill is bituminous coal." I don't know what kind of bituminous coal the girl wants? ”

Nie Shuyao didn't understand this, and asked, "Which bituminous coal is more affordable?" The little things I make are hard to be elegant. The lower the cost, the better. ”

Pencils weren't as good as inky black, so she didn't feel the need to use good bituminous coal. Maybe bituminous coal that can't be used in the ink mill can be used.

Sun Shichang frowned and glanced at Sun Shitai, and said: "Let's think about it again, there are indeed a lot of useless bituminous coals in the ink shop, but our businessmen talk about integrity, and we can't give that kind of bituminous coal to the girl just because the girl wants to reduce the cost." ”

After hearing this, Nie Shuyao had a plan in his heart, so he rushed to this attitude, and it should be feasible to cooperate with them.

She didn't want to start with the basics. It is more cost-effective to purchase raw materials and reprocess them. As long as the brand is played, the ice is not afraid of no sales in the future, and if the bituminous coal of this one is not good, you can buy another one.

In an instant, she was full of confidence in the future development of her business and decided to take the creative route in the future.

"Okay, Mr. Sun is really a sincere businessman. There's no urgency about this, let's talk about it in the spring! ”

Nie Shuyao pinched the homemade charcoal in her purse, this should also be a shotgun.

In the blink of an eye, the year has passed, and they have no relatives here. Even in Ewha Town, there are only neighbors who have dealings. Nie Shuyao's sister and brother had nothing to do until the eighth day of the first month.

Jiang Yi also came back from Kongming Mountain, and the shopkeepers also returned one after another, and Zhenweiju became lively again.

With the arrival of Jiang Yi. It also brought news from the masons that if the weather was so good, perhaps they would be able to build a workshop in the first month.

At the same time, it also brought good news for the carpenter. However, this carpenter has a name that Nie Shuyao feels very familiar to - Tan Carpenter.

For souls who have come from another world, this name is all too familiar. Nie Shuyao felt that it didn't matter if this carpenter was the ancestor of Carpenter Tan, but she wanted to accept this Carpenter Tan.

Coincidentally, Carpenter Tan lives in Ge Village, where the Second Artillery is located, and is an outsider who has been a carpenter for several generations. The best craftsmanship of the Tan family is the Tan carpenter, who is nearly sixty years old. The comb made is ingenious.

Nie Shuyao immediately clapped his hands and said, "That's it, Carpenter Tan, Wu Niang." Let's visit him today. ”

Jiang Yi only smiled at her wind and fire, and this Tan carpenter was also Jiang Xiaoluo told him. It's just that Jiang Xiaoluo's family has a big business, and there are more New Year's entertainments, and the young couple hasn't come to Zhenwei to live a step yet.

Wu Niang said: "Okay, although this Tan carpenter is a little stubborn, he is a good person." Girl, what do you think we should bring? ”

Nie Shuyao said: "You and Yuqin look at it and prepare." ”

Wu Niang and Yuqin went to work first, leaving Nie Shuyao and Jiang Yi in the house, chatting a few words and suddenly talking about Song Yunfei.

Nie Tianxi asked, "Has Brother Jiang received a letter from Brother Song?" It's been a month since our letters were sent. ”

Jiang Yi shook his head, "I didn't receive a letter from you, but Song Yuan received a letter of greeting from him a year ago." I heard that Miss Song said that she mentioned you above, and asked if you had left the Nie family. ”

As soon as these words came out, the sisters and brothers frowned and looked at each other, what is the situation?

"Doesn't anyone want him to receive our letters? But we didn't write anything at all. Xi'er, what do you say? Nie Shuyao looked at Nie Tianxi and said.

Nie Tianxi's eyes flickered slightly, but he still nodded.

Nie Shu knew that there might be something else in the letter when he saw his expression, and said, "Xi'er, you won't be waiting for Song Yunfei to bring you a gift." ”

“……。” The corners of Nie Tianxi's mouth drooped, and he looked at Nie Shuyao with great resentment.

Nie Shuyao sighed lightly: "Okay, okay." What to pretend to be pitiful? What is it this time, it won't be the best ink. ”

"It's not! Brother Song said that he had a good inkstone at home that no one used, and he didn't like to write, so he wanted to give it to me to use when I was taking the exam. I went to the hospital soon to try it! Nie Tianxi argued.

Nie Shuyao patted him on the shoulder and said in a heartfelt voice: "Sister can understand your mood very well. It's just that their family is afraid that they will see us as people who can only be greedy for small gains, so this letter will not reach him. When Shopkeeper Sun came back after a while, we would find a good inkstone in their shop, and the ink-making people usually had good inkstones. ”

Nie Tianxi frowned, is this really the case?

At this moment, Wu Niang and Yuqin were ready, and came over to ask when to leave.

"Let's go now. Xi'er went together. ”

Jiang Yi also got up and said: "I'll go with you too, this Tan carpenter is the carpenter who makes the carriage for the Jiang family, and I also have a relationship." ”

Nie Shuyao owed a debt and said, "That's it." Thank you Gongzi Jiang. ”

"You're welcome!" The corners of Jiang Yi's mouth moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it.

The two siblings went back to the room to dress themselves warmly. That's when I went out.

Although it is also a very cold time of the year, at noon the streets will freeze when you walk a lot, and the sun will not be big in the morning, and the streets will still be frozen and icy.

This is a challenge for catching a car, but fortunately, Wu Niang is a good driver of driving, this carriage is Song Yan'er's, and Nie Shuyao is using it during the New Year, and she is also touching the doorway.

Nie Shuyao was anxious. When will we have our own four-wheeled carriage? At that time, even if you are in the ice world, you won't be able to overturn lightly.

Jiang Yi rode a horse, and Nie Shuyao and a few people sat in the carriage. Because the weather was too cold, the second artillery and Wu Niang took turns to catch the car, and they arrived in Gecun near noon.

Wu Niang drove to the carpenter's house at the head of the village, which was a large courtyard, and the sound of sawing wood was heard outside. I also smelled of wood.

It's just that when Wu Niang was about to knock on the door, there was a roar from inside.

"Go and tell everyone that you want to let her daughter wait for another year, and I, Carpenter Tan, promise to make up twenty taels of silver for my son!"

Then an older woman's voice replied, "It's going to be a year to go!" In another month, the daughter of the Ge family will be allowed to another family. Our son is not married to her daughter, don't you let my son be a monk? ”

Then there was a heavy sigh and a flurry of impatient wood gouging.

It didn't take long. When Wu Niang tried to knock again, the woman's voice spoke again.

"I said that you are in charge, you agreed to the affairs of the Nie family. Isn't it just a carriage, and it's not something that hasn't been done? ”

Carpenter Tan said loudly: "What do you woman know! That kind of carriage was conceived by Miss Song, and I was only responsible for carpentry. At the beginning, I promised Miss Song that this had to be kept secret and could not be passed on. ”

The woman also seemed to know that this was inappropriate, and discussed: "Otherwise, let's go and talk to Miss Song, she is a good person who is sensible." ”

"What do you know, I don't want to mention what Carpenter Tan promised!"

"But this ......, what about our daughter-in-law? That Xiaoxi is really a good girl. It's that her family's dowry is too high. ”

……

Hearing this, Nie Shuyao directly pushed the door in. said: "I came out of this dowry." ”

One sentence silenced all the voices in the yard.

"Who are you?" Carpenter Tan asked.

Nie Shuyao saw Carpenter Tan himself, this image was really in line with her imagination.

Carpenter Tan is neither tall nor fat. With gray hair and a beard and a pair of godly eyes, it looks particularly energetic. Dressed in short brown and with a big cigarette pouch around his waist, he looks amiable again.

The sun was good at noon, and the family was playing small items in the sun.

Nie Shuyao introduced herself: "My surname is Nie. ”

Carpenter Tan immediately frowned when he heard this surname, "You are the Nie family?" How many times has the old man said that this kind of carriage does not do! ”

Nie Shuyao added: "We are the Nie family in Lihua Town, and we have nothing to do with the Nie family in the county. And we are here to make a carriage, but this carriage is not the kind designed by Miss Song. It is a four-wheeled carriage, which will only be more usable than Miss Song's car. ”

"Four wheels? A carriage in which people sit? Carpenter Tan repeated, as a craftsman, he is most interested in being able to make achievements in his own work, and he immediately grasped the point of this statement.

Nie Shuyao nodded lightly and said, "Actually, we can come here because of Miss Song's thread." ”

At this time, Carpenter Tan also saw Jiang Yi, and hurriedly greeted him, and also saw the smiling Wu Niang and the second artillery.

Carpenter Tan's lady turned her head quickly, and hurriedly asked, "Girl, you are the kind person Wu Niang said." ”

Nie Shuyao said: "My aunt has won the award, we just want to find a good driver." (To be continued)
