When the Celestial Maiden and the Optimus Society had an encounter, Lan Sheng encountered the first difficult threshold in his career.

She has been in Darong for more than half a year, and she has not taken the first step for a long time, firstly, she does not understand the market, and secondly, she has not had the opportunity. Boss Lu's 200 taels project is a reversal of the cost for many people, but it is precisely because of this that she can get it. It seems to be a small piece of dried tofu without oil and water, she doesn't eat it, and she won't even be able to eat tofu residue in the future. This is a thankless matter, she knows it in her heart, and she is ready to encounter setbacks, but she didn't expect it to be at this time anyway. In contrast, the bargaining method of drinking the northwest wind in the cold weather in Jinxiu Village is very difficult, but at least he got the results he wanted.

She came out today to find manpower and contracted the labor of the entire project at a bid of thirty taels. I felt that I had some confidence this time, so I first went to the dead corner of the broken wall in the East Market, where there are all kinds of craftsmen waiting to take over the work, as long as the price is reasonable, there should be many people interested. Although the red pockmarked face was the leader of the group that day, and the momentum of not bowing his head to the rich people was quite strong, which made her find that the status of the ancient working people was not as low as written in the history books, and there were exceptions, but she wanted her to pay according to the market price, and there was no reason for them to join forces to boycott.

I didn't see the red pockmarks there, not only was he not there, but those people didn't seem to come last time, and there were more than 20 new faces. The red pockmark is too horizontal, I saw myself last time, I don't know if Lu Dao will look down on women, and take the opportunity to raise her price, so those people are not there but make her happy. However, she thought it was very convenient and easy, and no one would take her job, not a single one. Including the most ordinary bricklayers and bricklayers, and even the labor of digging the ground to build the foundation.

In the spirit of saving money, she ran a few more places, and one was unwilling to simply trample all over the East Market, and all craftsmen shook their heads at her. At first, she thought that the price of the New Year had risen, and it was increased to the bottom line of fifty taels, but then she gradually realized that something was wrong, and many people turned their faces when they saw her. No matter how much you despise women. Not so much.

"Miss. They deliberately didn't take our jobs. "Even the fruitlessness can be seen.

"Hmm." Lan Shengfeng raised his eyes and glanced at the restaurant not far away, "Hengzhu is also hungry, let's go eat." ”

When ordering. Lan Sheng told his buddy. "The roof of the house is leaking. I heard that there are many bricklayers in Dongshi, but I don't know where to find a girl's house. He put a small piece of silver on the table, "Trouble the boy to help me run." Hire a skillful and honest craftsman. ”

The man put the money away and went away with a smile on his face.

The two of them were fed, and the man brought someone with him. The man's cotton clothes were covered with patches, and when he entered the restaurant, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes and was intoxicated, and he was clearly destitute. But as soon as he saw Qing Lansheng, his face showed a vigilant look, and he pulled the guy to speak in his ear. The man nodded as he turned to run.

Lan Sheng had expected it, but his voice was fruitless.

The kid scurried out, and before the man could blink, he had already carried the man to Lan Sheng. No matter how much the man struggled, he kept spinning in his palm, and then let him pat the nail stool and couldn't move.

The man stammered, "You...... What do you do? ”

"Ask what you're doing." Hearing his stomach rumbling and thundering, Lan Sheng laughed, "Obviously hungry with his chest against his back, why don't you take the job sent to the door?" ”

The man's face was yellow and he sniffed, "I don't work for women's houses." ”

"That's not the reason." Lan Sheng threw out a few copper plates, "Tell me honestly, you can get this money without working for me." ”

The man's eyes widened, and a few copper plates could also buy bun pads, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and let go, "The eldest girl is recruiting for Master Lu's house in Qingyunfang?" Seeing Lan Sheng nodding and sighing, "Although that portrait doesn't look like a real person, it has a pair of Diao phoenix eyes, and it can't be recognized if you want to." ”

"Portrait?" Lan Sheng sat upright.

"The eldest girl looks like a layman, dressed like she was from a big family, why take on such a thankless business? You can take it, so you can inquire about the market in this area first. I don't understand anything, and I offended the people made by Changfeng when I came up, isn't this self-inflicted bad luck? The man stared at the copper plate and spoke, and his head turned to look at the door from time to time, as if he was afraid to see an acquaintance.

He said a bunch of miscellaneous words, and only three words made Lan Sheng's expression change, "What is Changfeng Zao?" ”

The man immediately raised his head, his eyes bulging with Lan Sheng, "Mom! You don't know how to make it? It was the largest workers' gang in Beijiang County, including the Imperial City, which helped the Ministry of Engineering to build a palace, and as small as a county official's office, which covered most of the imperial court's projects. If you want to eat in this industry, you must say hello to Changfengzao. You can not join the gang, but you can't go by their rules. Don't you really know? ”

This one seemed to be really stimulated, but Lan Sheng didn't lie, "If I don't know if Changfeng is built, I can't build a house and build a house?" ”

"It's not that you can't, but since Changfeng Zao has released his words, saying that Master Lu Qingyunfang's house is less than five hundred taels and can't be connected, you can't take it. Not only did you take it, but it was also Master Lu's offer of two hundred taels. Big girl, even if you look for a bitter man who moves goods by the dock, they will refuse you. Changfeng has close contacts with all big business factions, who doesn't give it face? Your portrait and your affairs have been reported, and there will never be anyone to help you work. That's all I say, and you ask for a lot of blessings. "Bang Bang, put the copper coin in his hand, and ran out of the house with a smoke.

Lan Sheng was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, "No result, that red pockmark seems to have roared a long wind and can't be answered, isn't it?" ”

Wuguo's memory was a little better than Lan Sheng's, and he replied more simply, "Yes." ”

"Having said that, even though Changfeng Zao is a great gang and faction, can he manage the craftsmen of the entire imperial capital?" Lan Sheng thought otherwise, "Without my consent, my portraits will be distributed everywhere, infringing on the right of portraiture, and when I build the house in Qingyunfang, I will have to discuss with Changfeng for an explanation." ”

After settling the account, Lan Sheng let Wuguo drive the carriage out of the city, and half an hour later arrived at a small village near the river in the southern suburbs.

The village is at the end of the ridge of the road, and you can see it all at a glance. Although the land seems to be poor, every household hangs New Year's lanterns and sticks red couplets, beaming with joy. In the courtyard, the old people squint in the sun, the children set off firecrackers to play, and the women and men rush to make pickled food and dried goods for the New Year. This is a rare leisure time in the countryside, but it makes people feel that they are still busy, but it is somewhat comfortable.

Lan Sheng's arrival attracted everyone's attention, and he was curious and friendly from the low fences of each house.

"Miss looking for someone? Thirsty? Or harvest winter grain? A young daughter-in-law grabbed the fence and smiled at the probe.

"I'm looking for Guan Hong." Lan Sheng is also friendly.

The little daughter-in-law shouted, "Uncle Hong, someone is looking for you-"

Lan Sheng still thought that Guan Hong's little daughter-in-law was facing the door, but who knew that immediately after this voice, the words "Uncle Hong, someone is looking for you" made someone who didn't know it, and it sounded like an echo in the empty valley.

The little daughter-in-law pointed to a path and motioned for Lan Sheng to follow the echo. Wuguo has good ear power, chasing the sound in front, and Lan Sheng walks behind.

After a while, a red-faced dwarf man came to his face, and when he saw that he didn't react, he saw that Lan Sheng's expression was very complicated, and he changed and changed. He is the foreman of the last Lan Sheng who instructed him and asked for advice on the location of the latrine, the famous Guan Hong.

Lan Sheng saw his changing expression in his eyes, and only greeted, "Don't come to the head of the pipe?" ”

"Very good." Guan Hong's mind is also complicated, not much to say.

"Let me beg you for a bowl of water." Someone else saw that Guan Hong was hot and cold, and he might have to go back with a shelf, but Lan Sheng was calm. She only has one or two connections on hand, how can she pass this level without being cheeky?

When Guan Hong saw Lan Sheng say this, he could only take the two of them to his home. As soon as you enter the door, you ask your mother-in-law to boil water to entertain guests, and if you are not invited to sit in the house, you will add two round stools to the small square table in the courtyard.

"There is an old man in the house resting, and the female teacher will be there." He sat down and drank half a bowl of yellow soup on the table.

Lan Sheng looked at the housekeeper. There are three rammed earth houses in the main house, a brick house on the left and a wooden house on the right. The front of the house was paved with bricks of a foot wide and swept clean. There were five or six baskets on the roof, drying half-wilted turnips and greens. Festive paper-cuts were pasted on the window, and a capable daughter-in-law came out of the brick house. This is a simple but warm little home, and there is no half useless household belongings. She sat down with a smile and thanked the woman who had come to serve it.

The woman smiled back and quietly went back to the main house.

"There is a good wife in the family, and the head of the family is so blessed." Lan Sheng wants to hold a bowl and drink tea.

"Hot." Guan Hong himself poured another bowl of wine and asked to no avail, "Little brother, have a bowl?" ”

Fruitless shook his head. When he went out with his wife, he never drank. Master said that although the strength of wine can make the sword more powerful, it is easy to get off the leash.

"The female teacher brought a face-covering boy last time, this time she brought a bitter-faced young man, and who will she bring next time?" Probably because of the home field, Guan Hong laughed sarcastically, and finally wanted to tell the truth, "Female teacher, or female businesswoman, it's none of my business, just don't find me again." ”

"No result, help me to salute the head of the head with a bowl of wine. I was really interested in the construction of the work, but I couldn't get in, so I made up a useful identity, just to be able to go to the construction site to see twice. Boss, you should know very well in your heart that I have no malicious intent. "It's not that Lan Sheng doesn't want to drink, but he really doesn't have enough alcohol, and such a big sea bowl will be dizzy.

Fruitless poured all over the wine bowl, touched Guan Hong's bowl, and drank it dry in one go.

Guan Hong puffed out his cheeks, raised his neck, and the bowl was empty, "Where is the girl sacred?" It's not that I don't care about human feelings, even if you are a female teacher who cultivates in the mountains, you have indeed helped me and my brothers, so that we can finish the work smoothly. But—alas—how did you offend......"

"Changfeng Zao seems to be a real supernatural power, I thought it wouldn't be able to control it when I got out of the city, but I didn't think you had already got the news." Lan Sheng spread his palms, "Take a look at the portrait, I'm so curious, how similar is the painting, let me cross the street and everyone shouts." ”——
