Chao Dagong Xifang, needlework alley, stone house.

The mansion rented by Meng Yan was renamed "Stone House", and in the Ming Dynasty, the people's homes could not be called "mansions", and the word "house" could only be used.

Of course, for Meng Yan, half of this house is used for living and half is used as a workshop.

After two days of repairs, part of the house was already habitable, and Jiang Feng moved in with his brothers.

50,000 catties of coal also came over one after another and was stacked in the open air on the martial arts field.

"Childe, you're here!" Jiang Feng heard the report of his subordinates, and hurriedly trotted out of the house to greet him.

"Yes, it's fast!" Meng Yan was very satisfied with Jiang Feng's work efficiency.

"Son, I won't tell you, before I did that, I was the foreman!" Jiang Feng said embarrassedly.

"Oh, I mean, you're a talent, too!" Meng Yan smiled and walked into the courtyard with Guo Yue.

"Son, the East Cross Courtyard has been temporarily renovated, and it can accommodate people, and now the big guys live there." Jiang Feng introduced.

"Well, is there enough money to spend?" Meng Yan nodded.

"It's okay, but the price of craftsmen in this capital is too expensive, it costs thirty wen a day, unlike our hometown, only fifteen wen is enough, I'm afraid it will exceed the budget!" Jiang Feng said with some embarrassment.

"How much?"

"We estimated, at least a hundred taels of difference!"

"One hundred taels?" Meng Yan took a breath of cool air, which was equivalent to two years of income for a county master.

"Son, the heavy snow has closed the road, and the prices of labor, wood, and bricks in the capital have risen, and I can't help it." Jiang Feng was embarrassed.

"You use the money first, don't cut corners, I'll figure out the overspending part!" Meng Yan doesn't want to make a tofu slag project, although it is rented here, it is still very good.

The place is big and spacious, if he didn't have any money in his hand, he would have wanted to buy it!

"Brother Meng, Xiaoyue is rich!" Guo Yue, who had been following all the way, suddenly opened her mouth and said.

"No, I can't use your money!" Meng Yan categorically refused, first, their relationship is not yet that step, and second, out of a man's self-esteem, with a woman's money, he can't get over it in his heart, to put it bluntly, there is a little bit of machismo!

"How about Xiaoyue taking a stake in your business?" Guo Yue was smart, and she understood Meng Yan's thoughts as soon as she heard it.

"This ......" Meng Yan is indeed waiting for money, although the sale of reading glasses will have a lot of income, it is far from quenching the thirst.

"Xiaoyue spends money to buy shares, in black and white, Brother Meng can't believe Xiaoyue?" Guo Yue's big eyes sparkled brightly.

"No, how can it be, I mean, aren't you afraid of losing nothing when the time comes?" Meng Yan asked strangely, where did this girl get her confidence in herself?

"Don't be afraid!" Guo Yue shook his head and smiled, It's good to lose, won't you be able to tie you up?

A girl's heart has nine tricks, and her ability to deal with men is innate.

Meng Yan wanted to know that this girl had this mind, and he was afraid that he really didn't dare to agree to let her join the shares, but now, he really couldn't find someone to help him!

"How much money do you have?"

"How much does Brother Meng need?" Guo Yue asked.

"This renovated yard, plus the purchase of raw materials, and the opening of a shop, will cost four or five hundred taels!" Meng Yan originally had a short budget and could only take his time, but now, with Guo Yue's funds, he can speed up.

"Five hundred taels, I can still take it!" Guo Yue agreed.

"Xiaoyue, it's not that Brother Meng takes advantage of you, although you gave five hundred taels of silver, I still have to take the lion's share of this business, how about me six, you four?" Meng Yan said, in fact, Guo Yue does not lose money in such a share ratio, she only pays money, but Meng Yan still pays for it, and the initial investment is almost four hundred taels of silver!

"Good!"

"Jiang Feng, find someone, let's make a contract, brother, settle accounts!" Meng Yan commanded.

"Great!" Jiang Feng agreed, although he didn't understand who this Xiaoyue was, but he seemed to be a good financier, and he was easy to do things if he had money.

"Fluttershy has seen Childe!" After Jiang Xiaodie regained her women's clothes, she was really a peugeot lovely child, with a delicate face, a small cherry mouth, and big talking eyes, flickering and seductive.

This girl is only seventeen years old, and she hasn't grown up yet, and when she grows up, she is also a disaster-level beauty.

Guo Yue was a little disliked, this Jiang Xiaodie smiled, revealing a trace of her daughter's shyness and reserve, compared to her, she looked much more rude!

And her little face but, pink, blown, seductively tight!

Threat, great threat, this girl named Fluttershy is soft and weak, and I look pitiful at all times, this kind of woman is the most likely to arouse the pity of men.

"Fluttershy, this is Guo Gongzi!" Meng Yan didn't think anything, he hadn't seen a more beautiful girl than this, girls like to be delicate and pretentious, Fluttershy, the first time she saw herself in women's clothes, it looked a little embarrassing.

"Fluttershy has seen Guo Gongzi, Guo Gongzi is blessed!" Jiang Xiaodie bent her knees slightly and said softly.

"Fluttershy, yes, my name is Guo Yue, and I'm a good friend of your son-in-law!" Guo Yue introduced herself generously.

Jiang Xiaodie bowed slightly: "Son, Guo Gongzi, please come in and serve tea!" ”

"Guo Gongzi, please!"

"Brother Meng, please!"

"There is no good tea at home, I have wronged Gongzi and Guo Gongzi!" Jiang Xiaodie personally served the tea ceremony.

"Brother Meng, you maid seems to be more like a master than your master?" Guo Yue picked up the teacup and put it down again.

Meng Yan's face changed slightly, and he realized why Guo Yue was saying strange things, Jiang Xiaodie was respectful to him on the surface, but he spoke and did things like a master everywhere, which was not allowed in the hierarchical Ming Dynasty.

"Childe, forgive me, Fluttershy did everything you told you to do." Jiang Xiaodie hurriedly knelt down and explained.

Meng Yan remembered that he had instructed Jiang Feng to show Jiang Xiaodie as Madame Shi, and it didn't seem wrong for her to do so.

"Get up, Guo Gongzi is just joking with you!" Meng Yan Road.

"Master Xie!" Jiang Xiaodie stood up and handed the tea cup on the coffee table to Meng Yandao, "Son, please use tea!" ”

"Guo Gongzi, please use tea!"

"Humph!" Guo Yue snorted coldly to show the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Fluttershy, I have something to talk to Guo Gongzi, you go down first!" When Meng Yan saw it, he knew that Guo Yue was playing a girl's petty nature, so he could only break Jiang Xiaodie away first.

"Yes, Childe!"

Jiang Xiaodie went down, and Meng Yan and Guo Yue were left in the living room.

"Satsuki, Fluttershy is my new subordinate, and she did this because I told her before, so don't target her!" Meng Yan explained.

"You ordered it?" Guo Yue was surprised, "Why did Brother Meng do this?" ”

"Yes, I want to enter the official career, there are rules in the imperial court, officials can't do business, I can't preside over it personally, so there must be a trustworthy person to preside, Jiang Feng is okay to do things, diligent, but when it comes to business, his mind is a little insufficient, Fluttershy used to be the military advisor of their small group, this girl is more intelligent, ** well, she is a good hand, so I let her preside over the affairs here in the name of Mrs. Shi!" Meng Yan explained.

"So, I misunderstood her!" Guo Yue nodded.

"Blame me for not making this clear to you first, you have more contact, and naturally the misunderstanding will be eliminated!" Meng Yan said with a smile.

"By the way, Brother Meng, what is your business?" Guo Yue then remembered and asked.

"You little fool, you didn't even know what business to do, so you invested money in shares, and now you think about it and ask, isn't it a little late?" Meng Yan said with a smile.

"Brother Meng's business, I don't think it will pit Xiaoyue."

"Haha, it's always been an acquaintance in this business!" Meng Yan laughed, "Let's go, let's go with Brother Meng to see what kind of business we are doing." ”

"Can you see it now?" Guo Yue got up in surprise and said.

"Yes!" Meng Yan nodded affirmatively.

One of the emptiest rooms in the East Cross Courtyard was left to Tie Meng, and he moved everything in his shop in one go!

The formation was opened.

Make a fire, open the furnace, strike iron!

Although he can't hold the eighty-pound sledgehammer he holds, the mental outlook of the whole person is different from before!

I also found a good apprentice!

Coincidentally, this guy named Tie Dan was also a blacksmith apprentice before, and later he followed Jiang Feng because he couldn't survive.

This time it's a return to the old business, followed by the shouting of "uncle" behind Tie Meng, the two originally had a common career, so it was naturally quick to get started!

Jingle ......

"Here, here, Iron Egg, you have to use skillful force, if you use brute force, you can't beat a hundred steels in the end......"

"Uncle, I know, I'll try again!" Tie Dan was wearing a pair of trousers, his upper body was bare, and his hair was coiled on the top of his head, tied with a random rope.

On the dark skin, sweat mixed with oil, and the strong body is not enviable!

While!

Sparks fly......

"Pay attention to the waist force, pick it up, use the strength of the whole body, inertia, the inertia that your father-in-law said, do you understand ......"

Of course, Guo Yue, who was born in martial arts, is no stranger to striking iron, and who doesn't want to have a good weapon at hand?

"Is this a hundred refined steel?" Guo Yue exclaimed, you must know that to build a good weapon, you must have a good technique, which has always been a secret of iron generals.

In the capital, there are not many blacksmiths who can make 100 refined steel, most of them serve in the army, and some also hold official positions in the DPRK and China!

"This little lady has good eyesight, this is the forging technique of refining steel!" Tie Meng saw Meng Yan coming, walked over with a smile, glanced at Guo Yue, and unceremoniously broke through her disguise.

"Uncle Tie, it seems that you have found a good apprentice?" Meng Yan said with a smile.

"The iron egg man is good, he fits my temper!" Tie Meng laughed, obviously quite satisfied with Tie Dan's apprentice.
