Chapter 44 The Workshop
The Yan family's workshop outside the city is very large, and in the rows of wooden houses, there are some working craftsmen everywhere, and as Yan Tingcheng took You'er into the courtyard, the steward of the workshop immediately ran over in small steps to greet Yan Tingcheng.
Ye Qing, Li Heng, Zhao Qi'er, and Po Li followed behind the two unhurriedly, looking around at the Yan family's workshop, and the rows of dried cloth not far away were like seven-colored rainbows hanging in the air, adding some smart and chic scenery to this huge courtyard.
Bypassing the dyeing workshop in front, a few people came to the door of a separate small courtyard guarded by a special person, Yan Qingcheng looked at Ye Qing and a few people behind him, hesitated, and finally let Ye Qing come in, as for Li Heng, Zhao Qi'er and Po Li San, they were left outside.
"Are the horns ready?" Yan Qingcheng looked at the steward and asked.
"Ready, after you ordered the young lady yesterday, the small one bought dozens of them overnight." The steward said respectfully.
After listening to the steward's words, Yan Qingcheng frowned again, but this time his eyes were not hostile, and he looked at Ye Qing with a hint of resentment, as if asking Ye Qing why he wanted to spend five taels of silver to buy a whole sheep, instead of going to the pharmacy to buy a sheep's horn.
Ye Qing shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said helplessly: "You may not believe it, I really didn't know that the pharmacy actually sold sheep's horns, I bought a sheep and went home, and the sheep said nothing after it arrived at the door of the house, and finally the sheep ran away, and I haven't found it until now." ”
"Then how did you come up with the idea that the pharmacy sells sheep's horns?" Yan Chengcheng had the urge to trample on the forbidden army in front of him, but in his heart he was more angry at his unconditional trust in this forbidden army.
The last time five hundred taels of silver was not enough, and the last time five taels of silver was due!
Sheep's horns are sold in pharmacies, which is not known in Lin'an? Why did you forget it at the time? How did you agree to his request to buy a sheep! And he gave five taels of silver, which was enough to buy ten sheep!
"Later, my sister-in-law told me that the pharmacy sold it, so I went to the pharmacy again." Ye Qing looked directly at Yan Qingcheng's murderous gaze and replied truthfully.
"Give me back the rest of the money." Yan Chengcheng stretched out his snow-white hand and hummed at Ye Qing.
"I'm sorry." Ye Qing rarely lowered his head, grabbed the pony tail at the back of his head, and said with some embarrassment: "The remaining silver is for me to reward my sister-in-law's maid." ”
As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, Yan Qingcheng's mind couldn't help but think of the scene he saw yesterday, a man and a woman standing on the railing of Yipinlou and talking.
So she was already sure in her heart at the moment that the woman she saw yesterday was probably the sister-in-law of the forbidden army, and they were able to go to Yipinlou to eat, but they spent their own money.
So the more he thought about Yan Qingcheng, the more angry he became, and the outstretched hand gradually clenched into a fist, looking at the forbidden army but not knowing what to do, and finally he could only say hatefully: "If you can't teach them to make that horn lantern today, you will ...... You'll pay me back all the money!" ”
Ye Qing shrugged his shoulders again indifferently, and then crossed Yan Qingcheng and began to direct the person in charge, arranging the horns neatly in a row, and starting to do it step by step according to the steps he had done at the beginning.
So Yan Chengcheng looked at the forbidden army coldly, pointing to the polished horn for a while, picking up a horn with the head and tail off for a while and looking at it, or looking at the cauldron that was boiling water.
Finally, the strange backpack that I had been carrying turned out to be just two fingers pulling a button-shaped thing, and with a slight pull, with a bang from the top of the backpack, the strange bag was opened.
Several wooden lasts of various sizes, but similar in appearance, were taken out, and after being thrown to the steward, he began to direct the horns to be put into the pot and began to cook.
"What is this?" Yan Qingcheng couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and pointed to the zipper on Ye Qing's backpack and asked.
Even You'er looked at Ye Qing with great interest, and with a slight pull of her hands, the backpack that had been pulled apart was closed tightly, as if it were a whole.
"This, zipper." Ye Qing pulled the zipper back and forth several times under Yan Qingcheng's gaze, and said lightly.
"How......?"
"Stop, stop, don't think about it now, I know it's easy and easy to do, but now it's really not something we can do if we want to." Ye Qing hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Yan Qingcheng from asking.
The businessman is not good at this, and when he sees a new thing, the first thing he wants to do is to take it for himself, or to come out like it, and then see if he can bring the greatest benefit to himself.
Yan Qingcheng glanced at Ye Qing, who had firm eyes, and automatically ignored us in his words, after hearing You'er's voice, he then glanced at Ye Qing fiercely before turning around and walking in the direction of You'er.
You'er brought a basin of water, just now Yan Tingcheng looked at those horns and was also curious, naturally he wanted to pick them up with his hands to take a look and touch them, especially looking at the boiled horns, after being slowly stretched by the last, Yan Tingcheng felt more and more sorry for her five hundred taels of silver, such a simple way, where is it worth five hundred taels of silver? Five taels of silver is too much!
But she also had to admit that this method was indeed simple and practical, and the horns became more and more transparent under the slow stretching of the last, just like the horn lantern in the carriage, and the outer skin of the horns became thinner and more transparent.
Ye Qing looked at Yan Tingcheng who was standing there washing his hands under You'er's service, and saw that the person in charge here, with the craftsman, figured out in a short time, and after how to make a sheep's horn lantern next, he looked at the soap ball that You'er handed to Yan Tingcheng to wash his hands, and walked over.
"Before you left the city just now, didn't you ask me what I talked about with Yan Yuanwai? I'm going to officially tell you now, are you interested in having a big deal? Ye Qing walked up to Yan Tingcheng, and when Yan Tingcheng finished using up the soap ball and was about to hand it to You'er, he had to take it with his hands if he didn't want to.
So Yan Qingcheng's hand holding the soap ball hurriedly retracted as if he had seen a ghost, glared at Ye Qing angrily, and then bypassed Ye Qing's hand and handed the soap ball to You'er.
"You speak first." Yan Qingcheng, who was carefully washing his hands, said coldly.
Ye Qing took the soap ball from You'er's hand, looked at it in his hand, and was about to put it on the tip of his nose to smell it, but looking at Yan Qingcheng's cold gaze, Ye Qing only reacted at this time: There is a difference between men and women.
So he played with the black and rough soap ball in his hand and said: "It's okay to wash your hands and wash your clothes or even take a shower with this thing, don't stare at it first, it looks like your eyes are big or what?" Listen to me, don't be so frizzy. ”
Ye Qing looked at Yan Qingcheng, who was about to "stare to death" himself with those bright and talking big eyes, and hurriedly reprimanded him "seriously".
"Hey, you're doing it, aren't you?" Yan Qingcheng was so helpless by Ye Qing that he wanted to chop his feet, but because of the woman's mentality, he had to look at him speechlessly.
"Let me tell you this, I have several projects in my hands now, but to put it bluntly, I only have technology and no funds to follow ...... Craftsman, so what I'm going to say next, don't take it seriously. ”
"Are you going to say it or not?" Yan Chengcheng had never seen such a scoundrel, seeing that he had finished washing his hands, he actually instructed You'er to change the basin of water, and he also had to wash his hands.
And what made her even more angry was that her personal maid was willing to be this traitor, and she really listened to the words of the forbidden army and obediently went to fetch water.
"Don't look at You'er, You'er is not disloyal to you, she is afraid that our conversation will be too private......
"Who's with you, who's with you! If you want to say it, just say it, don't say I'm leaving. Yan was so angry that he really wanted to raise his feet and step on the forbidden army squatting in the corner.
"With your temper, I don't understand, how can Yan Yuanwai rest assured that he will hand over Nuoda's family business to you, so he is not afraid of being lost by you. Thank you. Ye Qing said thank you with a smile that she thought was the most kind, but she didn't want You'er to put down the basin and leave with disgust and disdain.
So someone, who hurriedly washed his hands, hurriedly said to Yan Tingcheng, who was too lazy to talk to him and was about to go out, "I have a better way to make this soap ball, and it doesn't have to be as ugly as this ball." Because the surface will be smooth, it will be better than the soap ball, and it will smell very good, that's the kind of ...... That faint floral scent. ”
"Finished?" Yan Qingcheng looked at Ye Qing coldly, the expression on his face was extremely calm.
"Uh...... At this time, according to the routine, you should be surprised, right? "This time Ye Qing was surprised, this is not logical, it stands to reason that after he finished speaking, Yan Qingcheng's eyes should be shining, and he should be regarded as the savior of her family and a living bodhisattva.
"I won't believe a word you say until I see the real thing!" Yan Tingcheng still had a cold and indifferent expression, although she was looking forward to the kind of soap ball he said, but she remembered in her heart how she didn't have five hundred taels of silver! As for the inexplicable words in the forbidden army's mouth, she has now learned to skip them automatically, so she should not have heard them.
This is a lot of effort, there are already more than a dozen made horn lanterns in the yard, although each lantern can indeed be sold for a lot of money, but compared with the five hundred taels of silver he spent, Yan Chengcheng still feels that he has lost a lot.
Therefore, even if Ye Qing can spit lotus flowers in her mouth and can depict a thing like a flower, she will definitely not easily agree to this forbidden army, she has suffered two losses and been fooled twice, so she should remember her for a long time.
"Don't you say there are several? That's the same, what else? Yan Qingcheng looked at Ye Qing, who had a somewhat unkind face, and chuckled in her heart, she didn't know why, she was a little afraid that this forbidden army would stop and stop talking.
After all, the appearance of this claw lantern, although it cannot make up for the loss of the Yan family after the separation, this simple production of lanterns is indeed very profitable for a period of time before it is imitated by others.
"With your attitude, it makes me sad to be so disrespectful to the technicians. Don't you know that technology is more important than productivity? I'm now thinking about whether to switch partners. ”
"You...... Don't you dare! Yan Qingcheng completely broke out, and shouted coldly with his hands on his hips.
You'er, who was looking at the sheep's horn lantern on the side, and the steward, heard Yan Tingcheng's strong words, and couldn't help but look sideways at the same time.
