The Tian family came to Nanjing more than a month earlier than the Li family, and it came at the end of last year, and it was the boss of the Tian family who prepared everything, but Huizhou Mofang was the foundation of the Tian family, and he had to supervise the production of tribute ink, Tian Benchang really couldn't leave.

Originally, it was said that the old man Tian came over, but the old man Tian had a cold after the year, and his body and bones have not been very good, so Tian Er got such an opportunity.

Therefore, when Tian Er and Tian Ronghua came to Nanjing, although Tian Jiamo Fang did not officially open, they had actually been prepared, just waiting for an auspicious day to open, so Tian Er and Zhen Niang arrived in Nanjing together, but Tian Jia opened nearly two months earlier than the Li family, and the workshop was a complete set of materials for master workers.

Therefore, at this time, he got the ink recipe of the Li family, and he didn't need to prepare anything, Tian Er directly selected a few masters and entered an independent workshop to start trial making ink.

This kind of independent workshop is called the R&D room in later generations, and every ink workshop has a lot of this, and it is also the lifeline of an ink workshop.

As soon as they entered the ink workshop, the master and the workers were busy, for them to try out a new ink, it was also very exciting, Tian Er was also rare not to be bored with the master and workers to stay together, Tian Ronghua was even more staring, some of the processes even started in person.

The Tian family became a monk halfway, and the Tian family brothers and sisters were not as good as Li Zhenniang in terms of skills, but they couldn't stand the original team of the Luo family ink shop, coupled with the pine plague that broke out in the first two years, many small ink shops were either closed down or merged, and the Tian family really collected a lot of talents, so it was the Tian family brothers who became monks halfway. As long as you don't command blindly. The overall level of the Tian family's ink jishu is also not bad.

Thereupon. The Tian brothers and sisters and a few masters were busy from noon until the beginning of the oil lamp, the ink finally came out, and a few more people tried the ink, and specially asked people to go to Li's house to buy a few bottles of ink, all of which were the same.

Tian Ronghua breathed a sigh of relief. Tian Er was even more complacent, only feeling that he was similar to Zhuge Liang in ancient times.

"Second brother, just in case, you can go to the Zhu family to buy a few bottles of ink and try it." Tian Ronghua was still a little worried after all.

"No, I don't. I have already got the ink recipe on the Zhu family's side, and it is exactly the same as what Master Zeng got from the Li family, I was afraid that the Li family would guard against the Zhu family, and I didn't take out the real ink recipe, so I asked Master Zeng to go to the Li family to get a copy again, but I didn't expect Li Zhenniang to be really generous, and the ink recipe that she had worked so hard to study was taken out when she said that she would take it out, hehe. Tian Er said noncommittally.

Anyway, if it's his Tian family. That's impossible.

"Li Zhenniang is determined to pull the Zhu family to compete with us for the share of this Nanjing ink market, so naturally she wants to cooperate sincerely with the Zhu family." Tian Ronghua Road. If the Li family doesn't pull the Zhu family. The Zhu family couldn't say that they had left Nanjing as disgraced as the Wei family at this time.

To be honest, Tian Ronghua is still a little convinced of Li Zhenniang's means of doing business.

However, this person really needs to be experienced, although his second brother is a bit of a villain, but the layout is quite thorough, from the beginning of the anger of Master Zeng, to the successive theft of the Zhu and Li families' ink squares, in this way, it can be foolproof.

The second brother really made a lot of progress. In this way, the big stone in Tian Ronghua's heart also fell.

"Hmph, fight with us, this time I want to see how they fight with me, Fang is in charge, prepare enough materials for me, star, let go of my hands and feet to make ink, then I will lower the price, fight with me, I will force you to death." Tian Er said viciously.

At this time, Tian Ronghua will not stop his second brother, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, and the Tian and Li families have already fought, so they will fight to the end.

In the next few days, the Tian family was making ink in large quantities, of course, this matter was strictly confidential, and there was no news outside, just thinking about waiting for the amount of ink to be stored, and then pushing it to the ink market in one fell swoop, and hitting some of the shares that Li and Zhu had just closed with a large amount of low-cost ink, so as to squeeze down Li and Zhu's two families.

The Tian family's plan is not known to the Li family.

It's just that after Master Zeng asked for leave and left with his kid that day, he never returned to Li's Mozhuang, nor did he let anyone come back with news.

"Zhen girl, this master Zeng hasn't come back for a few days, isn't something wrong?" When making ink, Master Ma, who used to pound the pestle, is now responsible for the work of mixing ink, and this hand order is also extremely important to the ink.

After Master Ma finished his work, he sat down and looked at Li Zhenniang, who was directing people to put labels on bottles.

Zhen Niang listened to Master Ma's words, but her mouth was slightly upturned, and she had a number in her heart, but after thinking about it, she nodded: "In this way, Master Zheng will come back in a while, and let him take two people to Master Zeng's side. ”

"That's right." Master Ma nodded. and went to do his work again.

Zhen Niang watched the ink shop for a while, and also returned to the front of the ink village, the ink village is a guest in twos and threes, and a few guys are introducing each ink to the guests.

Zhen Niang has already instructed the guys, even if the guests have no intention of buying ink, as long as they greet them warmly, and then try to introduce Li Mo, not buying this time does not mean not selling next time, have a good impression, and the business will slowly improve.

Then Zhenniang went to take charge of the accounts again.

After a while, Zheng Fuli came back with some wine, and business entertainment is indispensable, and in this regard, Zhen Niang's daughter's family is not very easy to appear, therefore, some of the business entertainment is Zheng Fuli is doing, and now there are a lot of running merchants staring at the Li family's ink, and they all want to get the goods, in this regard, the Li family has some procedures, there is no big loophole to drill, these running merchants are also planning to have a good relationship, so the wine bureau is every once in a while, and it is not haode to push, so these days, Zheng Fuli's drinking game was one after another.

And most of the places where they eat and drink are Qinhuai prostitutes. It is also fortunate that Zheng Fuli did not get married, otherwise, the Zheng family lady would not have knocked over the vinegar jar.

However, Hua'er has been complaining about this recently, and often mutters in Zhenniang's ear that it is Zheng Steward's bad learning. Let Zhenniang take care of it.

Zhenniang was a little crying and laughing. Let's be honest. As long as it's not your own father-in-law. This kind of thing is happy to be seen. After all, Zheng Fuli can also be regarded as "dedicated" to Li's ink workshop, and he should be a big white.

Moreover, Zheng Fuli was trained by Steward Shao, although Steward Shao was not very good at Zhenniang, but for the Li family, it was really a model of loyal servants. It can be said that back then, if the ink workshop had not been supported by Steward Shao to help his seven grandmothers, the Li family ink workshop might not have been able to maintain the current situation. And Zheng Fuli has been with Steward Shao since he was a child, although this sometimes can't help but think a little too high, but as long as you show your ability to convince him, it is also decent to do things.

Not to mention anything else, when I arrived in Nanjing, this ink shop from the preparation to the present, Zheng Fuli can be said to have made an indispensable contribution, and those who have opened a store in later generations know that at the stage of opening a store, there are not too many things to see in all aspects. But it's actually very cumbersome.

And these are all borne by Zheng Fuli. This is also the original selection of people. Zhen Niang first picked the reason for Zheng Fuli.

Therefore, in this regard, Zhenniang can still trust Zheng Fuli, and she scolded Hua'er with a smile: "Worry about it." ”

casually quipped: "If you don't feel at ease, you stare at it." There is something warm about what I said. I thought that Hua'er would be ashamed, but I didn't think that Hua'er nodded seriously: "Well, I'm staring." ”

The virgin girl was a little crying and laughing.

At this time, Zhen Niang saw Zheng Fuli's drunken face, so she asked Zheng Fuli to sit down and rest for a while, and asked the guy to cook the sobering soup.

Zheng Fuli was obviously a little excited, and after sitting down, he actually said in the spirit of drinking: "Zhen girl, now the ink merchants in Shanxi, Wuxi, Hangzhou, and Wuhu in Shandong Province want to get goods from me, by the way, I still have a merchant on Zhoushan Island at the banquet today, and I am also very interested in our Li Mo, I estimate that they are taking the sea route, Zhen Girl, take a look, do you want to open up this road?" ”

Zheng Fuli said, looking at the quiet face of the virgin girl, her eyes were a lot darker.

There was a stir in his heart, and he only hated that he couldn't do a lot of deeds, and he couldn't let the virgin girl look down on him.

"This road is not in a hurry for the time being, the sea route is still being banned, and our Li Mo is still in the stage of laying the foundation, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it." Zhen Niang thought about it and said, in fact, this sea route has long been in her expectation, but she wants to leave this sea route to Wang Cuiqiao, just waiting for Longqing to switch it, that is the real golden road.

And at present, in the next autumn, and tomorrow's spring, it is the stage of the Li family's vigorous ink production reserves.

Of course, now that the time has not come, this jihua can't say it for the time being.

"Zhen girl, the time is rare, the merchant in Zhoushan, I think there is a lot of way, or, let's get a batch of ink to try first." Zheng Fuli said in a hurry.

"I said, let's not talk about this for now." Zhen Niang waved her hand and said, Zheng Fuli's plan is not wrong to judge by common sense, but the timing he thinks is not the timing that Zhen Niang thinks, and Zhen Niang doesn't want to continue to talk about this matter.

Seeing that Zhenniang had made a decision, Zheng Fuli felt depressed for a while, but he felt a pity, after all, it was his daughter's family, she was timid, and her vision was a little shallow.

In this way, I was a little interested, took a leave, went back to the house to rest, on the edge of the ink workshop, there is a row of bungalows, the ink masters in the workshop live there, and the backyard of the Li house is separated, it is considered a workers' dormitory area.

Zheng Fuli was naturally not good to go to Master Zeng again, and in the end, Zhenniang still let Master Ma take the two guys to go.

Master Ma took the two guys for a while, and then came back with a solemn face.

"Zhen girl, Master Zeng's family is missing." As soon as Master Ma entered the door, he hurriedly found Li Zhenniang.

"What's going on?" Zhenniang asked with a frown.

"I don't know very well, when I arrived at Master Zeng's house, I saw that the building was empty, I inquired with the people next door, and said that I moved away a few days ago, and no one knew where I moved to, by the way, I also asked about the matter of Zeng Yu's father-in-law, and I heard that the father-in-law of Master Zeng had already passed away, that is to say, when the Zeng family boy came to find Master Zeng, he told a lie." Master Ma said with a serious face, at this time, let him be straightforward, and he also knew that this Master Zeng had a ghost.

"Since that's the case, then don't care about him, it's going to rain, my mother wants to get married, let him go." Zhen Niang squinted her eyes, needless to say, this Zeng master's goal has been achieved, and she has gone to her own future.

"I look at this thing a little strange, if you don't let Ergou inquire, Ergou's way should be a little wilder." Master Ma said, Master Zeng has seen a lot of things in the ink shop these days, and Master Ma is a little bottomless.

"It's okay, the Zhu family can't leave Ergou for the time being, Master Zeng will go with him." Zhenniang said calmly.

Seeing that Zhenniang said this, Master Ma didn't talk much and went to do his own thing.

After Master Ma returned to the ink shop in the backyard, Zhen Niang sat there alone sipping tea, her eyes were quite playful, but there was a smile in the corners of her eyes.
