Chapter 9: Adding Insult to Injury
Du Liang walked into the Du family's mansion with a proud expression, he was shy on his stomach, shook the folding fan gently, and from time to time bowed his head in response to the servants' greetings.
Today is his happy day, the patriarch thanked him for attracting a big order for the dyeing workshop, and specially opened the ancestral hall to witness the reunion of Du Ruonan and Du Liang.
"Du Liang was wrong before, but fortunately, he knew that he could change his mistakes, and he realized that he was lost in time, and he also introduced such a big list for our Du family dyeing workshop, which is really a great achievement. Ruonan, as the owner of the workshop, should also have the same tolerance as your father. ”
The patriarch spoke earnestly, Du Ruonan was not easy to refuse, and raised a smile to Du Liang: "There is a way that it is not too late to make amends, my uncle can change his past, and my niece is also very pleased, and I hope that the second uncle will make persistent efforts and not repeat the mistakes of the past." ”
Recalling the scene just now, Du Liang snorted coldly in his heart: Little girl, don't be too complacent, his net has already been sprinkled, it depends on when the fish will be hooked.
He was happy in his heart, and walked around the Du Mansion, called the housekeeper lady, and looked at the other party's waist: "Ruonan didn't come back?" ”
"If you go back to the second master, the dyeing workshop is working day and night, and the young lady is watching over there."
"Oh, that's good." Du Liang nodded approvingly.
Now the more you put into it, the more your dreams will be broken, and the more your heart will hurt.
Du Liang became more and more relaxed, asked the little guy to prepare the car, and went to Zuiyue Tower to drink flower wine.
The wood dyeing workshop was in full swing, several sturdy men were shirtless, stirring the juice in the bucket together, Du Ruonan did not shy away from it, standing next to him and staring at the color of the dye.
"Miss."
Du Ruonan looked for prestige and saw that it was Chen Gong in the warehouse.
"What's wrong? But what is the difference in the use of materials? Du Ruonan cleaned his hands.
Because this large order came suddenly, although someone was called to buy it in advance, it was difficult to get it all together for a while.
"It's silk." "Batik consumes far more silk than tie-dye, and now the list is only half, but the silk has not been supplied for a few days."
The price of silk is expensive, and the purchase of silk must ask the owner for instructions, Du Ruonan immediately ordered Ding Bo to lead the convoy and gallop to the east of the city.
Starting from the cloth workshop to the eastern suburbs of the mulberry garden, the convoy is enough for two hours to go back and forth, but there is no one until the end of the day.
After another moment, the little servant returned.
Seeing Du Ruonan, he immediately turned over and dismounted: "Miss, Boss Xue doesn't agree to supply, saying that batik cloth is expensive, my family's skills are outstanding, and their silk is coarse." Let's look for another high branch. ”
He pressed the last few sentences very low, and he also knew that the silkworm merchant was out of stock, and it was not easy to publicize.
Du Ruonan was shocked: The two families have always had a harmonious relationship and have dealings, why did Boss Xue suddenly change his hexagram?
It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight.
"Boss Lin, you wait and see, our wood dyeing cloth workshop has been honest for several generations, and this kind of thing will never happen."
Across the courtyard wall, Du Liang's voice came clearly.
It's the troublesome Second Uncle Du again.
Du Liang was short and fat, led the Lin buyer in, and shouted all the way: "If you want me to say, you just put your heart in your stomach, my niece is super skilled, no matter what you ask, she will meet them all." ”
"Boss Du, if you say that, I will believe it?" The buyer smiled and looked at Du Ruonan, "Miss Du, I'm sorry, we originally booked the delivery on the eighth day of the next month, but I was in a hurry, and I couldn't, I originally wanted to hand over part of it to the Zhangjia Dyeing Workshop, but I was bumped into by your second uncle, and he slapped the table and said that the wood dyeing cloth workshop could be eaten in one go." ”
"What's more, I can trust your Du family's signboard. Then how tired are you, two days in advance, and the delivery will be made on the sixth day of the next month? ”
How did this go two days earlier! The housekeeper's face was a little embarrassed, and the dyeing workshop was in a hurry, rushing to work overnight, and could barely deliver the goods; But there was a problem on the silkworm merchant's side, and the silk the day after tomorrow was not settled; Now it's two days earlier......
Isn't this pushing people to a dead end!
The buyer put down these words and stared at Du Ruonan with a pair of eyes. Du Ruonan knew very well that if he didn't say a word, then this batch of transactions would probably fall into the hands of others.
But the raw materials accumulated in her warehouse, the dyes that were made in advance and were extremely difficult to store, suppressed a lot of money. Moreover, if you can't eat it yourself, and you transfer it to another family halfway, I am afraid that there will be a reputation that "wood dyeing is not as good as the Zhang family".
After weighing the two phases, Du Ruonan responded neatly: "Okay, it's just ......"
Guessing Du Ruonan's following, the buyer nodded briskly: "I know what you care about, since we changed halfway, which has caused you to be extra affected, this account should be counted on my Lin Mou's head, today I will cash out twenty taels, please eat and drink." ”
This Lin Huiyan is refreshing, Du Ruonan looked at his back in the distance, and secretly praised in his heart.
Delivery time......
Before she could come up with a countermeasure, the patriarch stroked his beard and entered the house, and the old man frowned, obviously knowing the problem of the cloth workshop.
"Ruonan, the silkworm merchant...... Ay. "I'm so old that I can't think of a way."
"Don't worry," Du Liang followed, "but whenever you open the door to do business, where can you always be satisfied?" Today is just an ordinary little thing, and the shopkeeper can deal with it properly, if Nan is the owner, her cleverness is better than my brother, and we will wait for her good news with peace of mind. ”
Du Ruonan also smiled: "The patriarch is relieved, since I should go down, there must be a way, and the goods will be delivered on time." ”
"Just now, I just wanted to remind you, second uncle, that you have left fat powder in your left ear, and I am afraid that my aunt will look at it...... Oh, no, my aunt is coming this way. "Second uncle, aren't you running yet?"
