Chapter Twenty-Three: The Leng Family Cloth Workshop
In the courtyard of the Leng family, the woman came out of the study, her face was tired, and the old man next to her looked at her face with some worry, "Miss, now it is the best result, the other party can agree, maybe there is some confidence, but they are from the north, maybe they have money, but it is not so easy to really gain a foothold in Hangzhou, the other party is young, maybe he also wants to make some achievements, so that he can show the family...... "The old man is the old shopkeeper of the cold family, and he also worked hard with the woman's father. Although he is the shopkeeper, in the heart of the woman, he is more like an elder in the family. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Uncle Leng, I know, it's okay, how bad can it be?" The woman smiled, in fact, what the old man said, she hadn't thought about it, but the other party was young, so why didn't she be? Think about it, everyone is the same, one wants to make a career, the other wants to keep the family business, not necessarily who is much smarter than the other.
The old man nodded, said a few more words, and saw someone coming in the distance, and when he saw the other party clearly, his face turned cold, "Uncle Leng." "It's the woman's husband who came over, and he has been in the Leng family for more than two years, and he looks like a talented woman from the outside, but Leng Nuan knows that the old man doesn't like each other, "Miss, let's rest, and my uncle should go back to the room early." The man listened to the old man's words, a trace of anger flashed in the corners of his eyes, and his tone was still peaceful, "I know, Uncle Leng will rest early." ”
A man and a woman walked side by side in the hallway, "What do you think of meeting the shopkeeper today?" ”
"It's okay, it's polite to speak, and it's okay to do things." The man said casually, and the woman looked at the other person's expression, "But I see that you value the people around him more." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and smiled, "What do you say, I won't take a second look." The smile on his face was a little cramped, "Okay, it's been a tired day, you can rest early, I'll go back first." The man said and walked away quickly.
Looking at the figure of the other party leaving in the night, a sneer appeared on the woman's face, and she randomly pushed open the door next to her......
On the second day, at the door of the Leng family, the carriage was already waiting there, and the old man stood on the side of the carriage, and when he saw the woman coming out, he walked over, "This is the silver ticket sent from there this morning, I have checked it, there is no problem, they will go directly to the cloth workshop in a while." ”
The woman nodded, took the silver ticket from the other hand, and got into the carriage.
In the land south of the Yangtze River, almost every family raises silkworms, every household weaves cloth, and the cold family cloth workshop is also the result of several generations of hard work, there are hundreds of spinning wheels at the peak, plus there are a lot of secret recipes for dyes in their hands, once they were among the best in Hangzhou, but all the changes were two years ago, the cold family's cloth workshop suddenly caught fire, not only the cloth workshop suffered heavy losses, the woman's parents were also buried in the fire, and then the Mu family came to propose, the woman categorically refused, under the auspices of the only few old people in the Leng family, found a scholar to get into the house, But I didn't expect to persist for more than two years.
The woman touched the silver ticket in her hand, and her heart was also a little sour, thinking about the suffering she had suffered for more than two years, thinking that the man who had made a fortune was not as she wished, until the carriage stopped at the door of the cloth workshop.
"Miss?" The cold shopkeeper outside the carriage asked, the woman got off the car, cleaned up her mood, smiled at the old man, walked into the cloth workshop, and saw the sound of the spinning wheel, as well as the busy figure of the worker, the woman walked through, nodded with a few people from time to time, and the workers also respected the young lady of the Leng family, and when they arrived at the main hall, they saw Li Huai sitting on the seat, and the woman in the teahouse was still beside him, and behind him were several young stewards, all holding notebooks in their hands.
"Li Gongzi is punctual." The woman smiled and sat opposite him, now the other party has sixty percent of the shares of the Leng family cloth workshop, so he is naturally the real owner here, "Uncle Leng." The woman said to the old man behind her, and handed over a few accounts, Li Huai took it, looked at it, and couldn't help but show embarrassment on his face, "Red sleeves, take a look." He withdrew the account to the woman beside him, and he looked at the young lady of the Leng family.
"Can you show me around?" Li Huai smiled, and the other party nodded, "Naturally." ”
Leaving several people in the house to check the accounts, Li Huai and Miss Lengjia took a few young stewards to the cloth workshop, because there was a fire that year, the Leng family did not have more looms than others, but the printing and dyeing workshop seemed much more spacious, "What business did Li Gongzi do before?" ”
"I also have a workshop at home, making some small things, and then reselling grain, and I also fought tigers a while ago, all of which are small trades, not worth mentioning." Li Huai looked down at the weaving machine in front of him, his face showed a thoughtful look from time to time, and the woman on the side listened, with a smile on her face, "Li Gongzi is in Beijing?" I don't know if it has anything to do with Hung Kee? ”
"Hong Ji? Ever done business, how? Miss Leng also knows about Hong Ji? Li Huai looked at each other, "I heard from the guests who came from the north that Hongji was a business of the Li family in the northwest, and it was very big, and some people said that their shopkeeper was the concubine of the Li family, who seemed to be called Li Taibai, and the poems were also very good." ”
Li Huai smiled, "I know, if Miss Leng meets, there will be a chance in the future." ”
Childe laughed. The woman looked at the other party's expression, and saw that the other party was always focusing on the spinning wheel and the workers, so she didn't say anything more, "Miss Leng, have you thought about improving these machines?" Increased productivity? ”
"What Childe said, I also thought about it at the beginning, but the key masters who know it are now in the Mu family, and it is not easy to make improvements." The woman smiled, but felt that the other party did not know the difficulties, if it was really anyone who wanted to change it, it would not be in the dilemma of selling the cloth mill now, and then the other party was seriously watching the actions of the workers operating the machine, and after a while they asked, "Is there still a spare loom in the cloth mill?" ”
The woman nodded, "Then I'll ask someone to come over and take one back, okay?" ”
"In a while, this will be your cloth workshop, and Childe is free to do so." The woman still looked at each other with a smile, Li Huai nodded, and the two walked for a while, but they didn't say anything in the middle, and when they returned to the main hall, the two parties had completed the handover.
When it was noon, Li Huai and the others sent the woman into the carriage, "Li Gongzi, remember our original agreement." The woman looked back at the young man behind her, and the other party smiled, "After that, there will be no trouble for Miss Trouble." ”
The woman smiled, got into the carriage, and a little later, Li Huai had the extra looms carried out, and after adjusting the duties of several stewards in the cloth mill, he also left, leaving only Sun Gui to deal with the rest of the matter......
