The dinner is more sumptuous than the luncheon, in addition to the beef and mutton, there are all kinds of seasonal vegetables, there is no iron pot in this era, the dishes are mainly fried and steamed, but the dishes are exquisite, the color and flavor are good, and people can't help but appetize.

Zheng Liuyi had never eaten such a meal in the Assassin's Mansion, and Zheng Liuyi once thought that the cooking technology of this era was extremely backward, and this table dish made him change his opinion.

Of course, it is only an improvement, and it is still very different from modern people's cooking skills. However, this also made Zheng Liuyi see that it turned out that rich families were so particular about eating, and his father Zheng Zongwen could be said to be very honest in this regard.

During the banquet, Mrs. Li Ruoxi served Wushuang dishes as usual, and did not hide her liking for Wushuang, which made Wushuang very uncomfortable. After three rounds of drinking, Li Ruoxi turned his words to cooperation without leaving a trace.

"Zheng Gongzi, Xue Ning came back to tell me this time, you want to set up a dart bureau and take over all the freight business of our Yun family, I don't know what you think?"

"Don't hide it from my aunt, my little nephew has established a sharpshooter bureau in Chengdu, and the business is doing well, and I have always wanted to open the bureau to other states and counties, this is not to attract a little big customers in advance!"

The original Zheng Liuyi didn't know how thick the sky was, but now that he saw the magnificence of Yunfu, he didn't know how big his business was, and he couldn't help but feel a little empty when he spoke.

"As long as you have this ability, our Yunfu will naturally choose to cooperate with you. It's just that Xue Ning, this girl, is not authentic enough, and she took advantage of you in the spinning wheel, which made my aunt feel ashamed. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Liuyi was secretly shocked, Jiang was still old and spicy, and the cooperation was said beautifully, but he was noncommittal; I was deeply ashamed to take over the spinning wheel technology?

Would you like to make up some money? Little nephew, I'm short of money now!

Wushuang was secretly surprised on the side, this Yun family is really rich enough, Xianggong Tu Tu painted in the afternoon, and asked for 20% of the profits of Caiyun Cloth Village, she was actually ashamed.

Xiao Chenyan didn't know what to do, and he was confused when he heard it on the side.

"Mother, don't be polite to him, he made three spindles in three days, and the reward for him is not low!" Yun Xuening raised her head slightly, and glanced at Zheng Liuyi, I don't know whether to praise him for being talented or belittled for his greed for money.

Speaking of remuneration, Zheng Liu was full of slander, why settle with her every year, how good the monthly settlement should be.

"Aunt don't have to be polite, that bit of technology is nothing, if aunt wants, I have a hydrospinning wheel and a deseeding ginning machine."

Zheng Liuyi finished throwing the bait, turned his face to look at Yun Xuening, bared his teeth and grinned: "Miss Yun, I haven't seen a penny of silver in the reward, can I advance a little?" ”

I want to get a house tomorrow, and having no money in my waist is a lack of confidence after all, Zheng Liuyi asked for a reward regardless of his face at this time, which can be regarded as a free offer.

"Didn't you say that you would settle the bill at the end of the year?" Yun Xuening raised her head even higher.

"Well, isn't that about buying a house?" Zheng Liuyi scratched his head embarrassedly, and he didn't know if Li Ruoxi would pick up the bait that he had released just now.

"Wait! What did Zheng Gongzi say about the ginning machine just now? Li Ruoxi saw that the two of you were coming and going, so she started a verbal fight, so she quickly stopped and pulled the topic back.

This voice sounded to Zheng Liuyi, no less than the sound of heaven.

But he still pretended not to care, and said, "Auntie, it's a deseeding ginning machine." This machine, the seed cotton put in, spit out lint. ”

"What is lint?" Li Ruoxi looked puzzled.

It turns out that there is no such name as "lint" in this era, so it is impossible for Li Ruoxi not to know. Zheng Liuyi hurriedly explained: "Lint is cotton without seeds, Yun's cloth village is mainly silk, I'm afraid this kind of machine can't be used, right?" ”

It's not that I haven't seen spinning in Caiyun Cloth Village, this kid probably wants to cheat the old lady's silver, right? Yun Xuening immediately heard what Zheng Liuyi meant, and just wanted to interject, but heard Li Ruoxi say: "How much silk can there be, or cotton yarn weaving accounts for more." Nephew, is this machine any good? Can you introduce me to my aunt? ”

The title has changed from Zheng Gongzi to virtuous nephew, and it seems that Li Ruoxi is very interested in this kind of ginning machine.

Wushuang watched Zheng Liuyi's eyes begin to shine from the sidelines, except that his father-in-law will not have children, it seems that there is nothing that will not give birth.

When everyone heard Mrs. Yun say this, they all turned their eyes to Zheng Liuyi.

Zheng Liuyi pretended to be shy and said: "In fact, this machine is the simplest, it uses the friction between the two shafts to remove the cottonseeds, and one person can operate it." If the aunt is interested, the little nephew will draw the drawings tomorrow. It's just..."

"Just what?" Li Ruoxi involuntarily asked.

Yun Xue glared at her fiercely, virtue! I'm afraid I'm going to ask for money, right?

"It's just that the little nephew underestimated the housing prices in the capital, and he will get up and rush back to Chengdu tomorrow, and when the little nephew comes back from Chengdu to buy the storefront, it will not be too late to paint with his aunt."

How do you want to go back? Isn't that just coming? Xiao Chenyan felt strange, and couldn't help but look at Zheng Liuyi, only to see that his eyes flashed with cunning, and he suddenly understood a little.

Cotton seeding is time-consuming and laborious, and the Yun family has countless large and small cloth villages, all of which are troubled by this. Li Ruoxi also asked the craftsman to find a solution many times, but she couldn't find a way, and she often felt anxious about this matter.

A problem that has not been solved for many years can be at her fingertips at this time, how can she let go of such a good opportunity? It seemed that he couldn't wait for a moment, so he said: "The virtuous nephew doesn't have to worry, how much silver is needed, and it is withdrawn from our family's account, so why go back and forth?" ”

Zheng Liuyi couldn't help but be overjoyed, he went around in such a big circle, and what he was waiting for was this sentence.

So he endured the joy in his heart and said, "The little nephew has thanked his aunt and will present the drawings tomorrow." This money is only a temporary loan, and it will be returned in full at a later date. ”

Yun Xue Ning heard this, and a look of surprise couldn't help but flash on her face, how did this kid change his sex, and there was no lion who opened his mouth and slandered the old lady.

Li Ruoxi smiled like a flower, even more charming, and praised in his mouth: "The virtuous nephew is really a good learner, if this machine is easy to use, this silver bento is given to you by your aunt." ”

"How dare this little nephew!" Zheng Liuyi was polite, but he was secretly surprised in his heart, this Yun family is really wealthy, and tens of thousands of taels of silver are not taken to heart at all, which shows the huge industry of the Yun family.

This ginning machine is much simpler than a spinning wheel, and after dinner, Zheng Liuyi asked Yun Song to find charcoal and paper, and sketched out the drawings in less than an hour.

Early the next morning, Zheng Liuyi handed over the drawings to Li Ruoxi, although Li Ruoxi was extremely smart, he couldn't understand it.

Zheng Liuyi: "If your aunt has any questions, you can ask Miss Xue Ning, her little nephew has taught her how to read pictures." But someone can try it out first, and the little nephew should help solve the problem. I also asked my aunt to lend the cloud housekeeper to my little nephew today, and go to give the shop down. ”

Li Ruoxi agreed angrily, but she had a slight regret in her heart: How good it would be if Xue Ning fell in love with the eldest son of the Zheng family! Alas, I am still too young to like good-looking. Although the appearance of this eldest son is a little worse than that of the second son, it is not bad!
