Chapter 002: The Cool World

After Zhang's mother and Aunt Sun left, the small workshop seemed even quieter.

Su Mu's face was very bad, Su Wuming was a little distressed, he came to Su Mu, and put one hand on her shoulder: "Mother go back to the house to rest first, just leave the matter here to the child." ”

Su Mu shook her head: "You don't understand anything here, I can hand it over to you there, come, help my mother to support these shelves, my mother will do it alone, no matter what, you can't lose your trust." ”

As the two spoke, they were about to start the loom and start weaving, but at this time, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Sister of the Su family, is the ten-foot cloth I want ready?" ”

Su Wuming followed the sound and looked, and saw a middle-aged man with a fat body and a meaty face walking in from the outside with broken steps, Su Wuming heard what he just said, and knew that he was Li Yuanwai in the east of the city.

Thinking about it carefully, he seems to remember that this Li Yuanwai is called Li Fucai, and he is extremely rich in Luoyang City, but as for his character, Su Wuming doesn't know, but at this time, Su Wuming believes that the quality of a person's character can be clear as long as he exchanges a few words with him.

At this time, Su Mu hurriedly put down the shelf in her hand and said to Li Fucai: "Li Yuanwai, I'm really sorry, I haven't done it yet, I'm afraid you will have to wait a few more days." ”

Li Fucai glanced at the entire small workshop, and then said with a smile: "I didn't come today to get the goods immediately, didn't we say before, take the goods in seven days, and now it's only been five days, I'm not in a hurry, and there are two more days." ”

Hearing Li Fucai say this, Su's mother was very grateful: "Thank you Li Yuanwai for being considerate of our mother and son, don't worry, Zhang's mother and they have worked for five days, I will rush again, and I will definitely be able to drive it out in two days." ”

Li Fucai smiled and nodded: "It's good if I can get out, I'll pick up the goods in two days!" ”

Li Fucai said and was about to turn around and leave, but at this time, Su Mu suddenly screamed, Su Wuming was a little strange, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, what happened?" ”

Su Mu pointed to the things on the loom and said with a sad face: "Mother Zhang...... Mother Zhang's mother didn't do anything at all in the five days, this ...... This ......"

Su Wuming followed Su's mother's gesture and looked, only to see that on the loom, there were clumps of silk threads in a messy manner, and the woven cloth was not even half a foot.

Li Fucai hadn't left yet, and Su Mu hurriedly walked up and begged: "Li Yuanwai, can you give you a few more days, a few more days, I will definitely send you the cloth......"

But before Su's mother finished speaking, Li Fucai, who was originally smiling, suddenly snorted coldly: "Sister of the Su family, I am not charitable, you have already taken the deposit, how can you not fulfill your promise?" Ten feet of cloth, I will take it in two days, and if I can't get it, I must accept compensation. ”

After Li Fucai finished speaking, Su's mother suddenly staggered, almost wanting to fall, if it was before, she could still afford to compensate, but she had just paid Zhang's mother and their wages, and she had bought a lot of medicine for Su Wuming in the past few days, and the house was already empty, what compensation would she get?

Su Wuming ran over to support his mother, he looked at Li Fucai and asked, "How do you want compensation?" ”

Li Fucai saw that it was Su Wuming, and smiled: "It turned out to be Su Luodi, what's the matter, do you have the money to lose?" ”

Su Wuming looked at Li Fucai with resolute eyes: "Say, how do you want us to compensate?" ”

Seeing that Su Wuming was strange today, Li Fucai was also a little surprised, but he didn't take it to heart, and after scanning his eyes around the Su family's workshop, he said with a smile: "I see that you will definitely not be able to compensate for the price we talked about before, so you might as well use this Su family's workshop to compensate, if you are willing, I will give you a few more money, so that you can choose another place to live, how about it?" ”

After Li Fucai's attitude changed, Su Wuming knew that he must have come with a plan, so in order to find out what Li Fucai wanted from them, Su Wuming asked him what he wanted with a look of preparing compensation, Li Fucai seemed to have a chance to win, so he didn't have any suspicions, and directly said his purpose.

And when Li Fucai said that he wanted to use the Su family's workshop to compensate, Su's mother immediately struggled to stand up from Su Wuming's arms, only to see her resolute, looking at Li Fucai and saying: "You want me to take the Su family's workshop to compensate, there is no door, this workshop has been run by my husband's family for several generations, how can it be interrupted in my woman's hands, you go back, I will definitely deliver the goods in two days." ”

Su Wuming looked at his mother, a little excited, he didn't expect that although his mother seemed weak, she was so firm in front of the big right and wrong, he felt that he should learn from his mother.

"Li Yuanwai, go back, we will definitely make it for you in two days, you want our Su family workshop, I'm afraid it's a little early now!" Su Wuming looked at Li Fucai, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly.

Li Fucai did find that today's Su Wuming was a little strange, Su Wuming was very wooden in the past, but today he found that this Su Wuming was not only not wooden, but also learned to play tricks with himself.

"Okay, okay, I'll see how you can make the goods I want in two days, you just don't eat or drink for two days in a row, it's impossible to make it, let's see!"

After Li Fucai snorted coldly, he turned around and left the Su family's workshop.

After Li Fucai left, Su Wuming's mother, who was tenacious just now, suddenly fell into Su Wuming's arms again, Su Wuming helped Su Mu sit down, and said angrily: "I see that Zhang's mother and Aunt Sun have already discussed with this Li Fucai, mother rest assured, I will not let them succeed." ”

At this time, Su's mother could only believe in her son.

If it was the son who studied before, she was a little hesitant, but today she was somewhat relieved to see her son who could see the situation clearly.

It's just that even so, she was still a little worried, and said: "Su Lang, help your mother up, and fight hard for her mother to give the ten-foot cloth to Li Yuanwai, this Su family workshop must not be compensated." ”

Su Wuming naturally knew this, but he couldn't let his mother be tired anymore, he helped Su Mu out of the workshop, and said as he walked: "If the mother believes in the child, go back to the house to rest first, and leave everything here to the child." ”

"You ......" Su's mother hesitated, but soon, she nodded, at this time, she could only trust her son.

After sending Su's mother back to the room to rest, Su Wuming came to the workshop, and after he closed the door in front of the street, he paced back and forth in the workshop, observing those very old looms, and after such observations, he banged on those ancient looms according to his own memories and the knowledge of Huang Daopo who improved the weaving techniques he saw in the books.

Su's mother sometimes heard the beating sound very strangely, but the blow she received today was too great, and she believed in her son very much, so she let the beating sound come intermittently.

At about dusk, Su Wuming walked out of the workshop covered in dust, his face was full of smiles, and the spring breeze was blowing, and he felt warm.

At this time, Su's mother had rested enough, she came out of the house, greeted her son, and said with a pitiful face: "What are you doing in the house, you get dirty." ”

Su Wuming smiled, took Su Mu's hand and walked towards the workshop, entering the workshop, Su Mu was suddenly speechless in surprise, she looked at the loom in the workshop, and asked incoherently: "Su Lang, this is ...... You did it all? ”

Su Wuming nodded: "The previous loom was too complicated, and the efficiency was extremely slow, I improved it a little, one person can weave cloth, and the efficiency is extremely fast, the ten-foot cloth that Li Fucai wants can be done in one day." ”

After saying this, Su Wuming talked a little about the usage, Su Mu is a master in this, and you can understand it at a glance.

When the two of them came out of the workshop, it was late, and tonight the sky was full of stars, and the occasional wind was very refreshing.

The night was getting deeper, Su Wuming was lying on the bed, this was the happiest day he had ever been here, and of course, it was also the most comfortable day to sleep, it turned out that it was a happy thing to be able to help his family.

Early the next morning, Su Mu and Su Wuming were busy, so that by the end of the afternoon, they had already woven the ten-foot cloth that Li Fucai needed.

Around the time of Shen, Li Fucai brought people to the Su family's workshop, and he was originally going to forcibly accept the workshop after the Su family's mother and son could not hand over the cloth and could not get the compensation.

But when he saw the ten-foot cloth, his eyes suddenly widened, he couldn't believe that it was true, he took the cloth in his hand and touched it, there was no mistake at all, he looked at Su Mu and Su Wuming in front of him, he couldn't breathe.

In the end, I had no choice but to pick up the cloth and leave.

But at this time, Su Wuming suddenly called out to him, and said coldly: "Li Yuanwai, you seem to have left something behind, right?" ”

Li Fucai glared at Su Wuming: "What is missing?" ”

"Naturally, it's the final payment, you only paid half of the deposit, and half of it hasn't been given!"

Li Fucai's eyes were full of hatred, he suddenly felt that this Su Wuming was a little scary, but he couldn't think of what was terrible, after reaching out and taking out a handful of copper coins and throwing it to Su Wuming, Li Fucai left the Su family workshop angrily.

Su Wuming weighed the money in his hand, then handed it to his mother, and said, "Hire a few workers, you can take orders at will in the future, and we can be five or six times faster than other workshops." ”

Su's mother nodded happily, she believed her son's words very much, and after listening to her son's words, she had already begun to look forward to a happy future.
