Putting down the cotton and silkworm cocoons in her hand, Lin Meiyi pondered for a moment and looked up at Xiao Niangzi, "Master, are you free tomorrow?" ”

The master and apprentice have their own tacit understanding, Xiao Niangzi guessed that Lin Meiyi wanted to go and see first, and a smile appeared on her face again,

"There's nothing to do tomorrow, Huzi Youxian is watching, let the two of them go to your house tomorrow and let your mother keep an eye on it, let's leave early in the morning, go early and return early."

"Okay, then it's decided, I'll go back and get ready, and we'll catch the car tomorrow morning."

After Lin Meiyi finished speaking, she handed the salary she had prepared earlier to Mrs. Xiao, "Master, this is your salary for this month, you take it, and I will go back first." ”

Mrs. Xiao took it generously and personally sent Lin Meiyi to the door, and then came back and told Pan Xian to let her take her younger brother to stay at Lin's house tomorrow, and she wanted to go out with Lin Meiyi.

Pan Xian knew that this was a big deal, so she nodded hurriedly and promised that she would definitely take care of her younger brother and let them rest assured that they would do things.

This stepdaughter Xiao Niangzi has always been relieved, smiled slightly, took out five taels of silver and handed it to Pan Xian, saying that it was her salary this month, let her keep it herself, and buy something she wanted.

Pan Xian was happy, took it with a smile, and teased Huzi, "Is it okay for Sister Ah to buy candy for Huzi tomorrow?" ”

"Sugar!" Huzi, who just knew how to speak a single word, immediately clapped his hands and was excited.

After settling down at home, early the next morning, Lin Meiyi's master and apprentice ate a few mouthfuls of pastries and drove the ox cart to Qingyuan Town.

Qingyuan Town is in the north of Lu County, and the mountain village is in the south, from the mountain village to Qingyuan Town, running through most of Lu County.

Lin Meiyi set off at dawn for the master and apprentice, and arrived at noon, because of the suddenness, the head of the Qian family was not at home, and the two waited for an hour accompanied by Mrs. Qian, and then they saw Qian Hao, the head of the Qian family.

The Qian family's house is very large, but the door is very low-key, and the head of the Qian family, Qian Hao, is also a low-key person, and he is not as ostentatious as other businessmen.

He is at the age of high spirits, twenty-four or five years old, his parents died early, and now he has taken over the Qian family's business for six years, and it is the time to get rid of the control of his elders and want to show his strength.

It's a pity that I had no ambition but couldn't find the direction of development, and I happened to see the silk flower on the head of the county lady, and others only saw the beauty of the hairpin, but he saw the essence of the hairpin through the appearance.

Pink and white should not appear on the same cloth at the same time, but the wonderful thing is that these two colors just appeared.

At first glance, he was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to show it, so he silently went home and pounded it, thinking that with his knowledge of dyes for so many years, he could easily drum up gradient dyeing.

However, this thing seems simple, but in fact it has a hidden mystery, and no matter how much he tries, it is always a little bit worse.

Fortunately, he is not the kind of person who loves to drill the horns of the bull, and he finds that he is not capable enough, and he is no longer obsessed, but begins to inquire about the sacredness of the person who makes the hairpin.

It is not difficult to find out this matter, and it is not so easy to say that it is simple, but fortunately, he has been in business for many years and has a wide range of contacts, so he contacted Xu Yuanwai, so he found out the information he wanted from his wife.

Coincidentally, they didn't wait for him to find the Lin girl, but they came over first, which was really effortless.

No, when he heard that Mrs. Xiao had brought the main owner over, he even put aside the transaction of tens of thousands of taels after receiving the news, and hurried back.

It's good that the wife knows that he covets the gradient dyeing technique and keeps the person.

I didn't have time to change my clothes, and I didn't care about so many etiquette, Qian Hao stepped into the hall with a smile, and saw Lin Meiyi sitting in the guest seat at a glance, and was slightly surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it.

He thought that this Lin girl could be older, and she was sixteen or seventeen, but he didn't expect that this Lin girl in front of him still looked like a little girl who was not in time.

Knowing that people can't be good-looking, Qian Hao didn't dare to have half a point of contempt, stepped forward and smiled: "Under Qian Hao, I have heard the name of Miss Lin for a long time!" ”

Lin Meiyi got up with a smile, first glanced at the young man with two small beards in front of her, nodded secretly, and then said:

"Boss Qian is polite."

Mrs. Qian hurriedly sat down on Qian Hao's main seat, and got up to prepare to go to Zhang Luo for dinner.

Looking at the sky, she guessed that the guests should be staying at home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, Lin Meiyi shouted: "Madam, let's leave after a few words, you don't have to prepare anything." ”

Mrs. Qian turned around in surprise, "It will take three hours from here to the mountain village, and now that the sun is in the west, it is not safe for Miss Lin and your two daughters to rush back again, so let's stay in the house tonight, so that I can entertain you well." ”

Qian Hao was also surprised, but he didn't think that Lin Meiyi came all the way to see him.

But if it's about gradient technology, how can a few words be enough?

Qian Hao persuaded: "Miss Lin, stay for a light meal tonight, you and I can talk in detail, how about it?" ”

"No need." Lin Meiyi refused with a faint smile, seeing that the faces of Qian Hao and his wife changed, she guessed that they had misunderstood, and patiently explained:

"Don't get me wrong, about the gradient dyeing technology, I agree to sell it to you, let's discuss the price, and then draw up a contract, half an hour is enough, no need to prepare too much."

"We have to rush back tonight, my master's children are still young, and it will make trouble if I don't see my mother at night."

After listening to Lin Meiyi's explanation, Qian Hao and his wife were immediately relieved, Qian Hao gave his wife a look, and asked her to prepare something to eat and drink, and he would deal with the rest by himself.

Mrs. Qian nodded, smiled at Lin Meiyi and the others, and led her subordinates to retreat.

There were only three people left in the hall, Lin Meiyi and Qian Hao, and Xiao Niangzi got Lin Meiyi's reminder on the way, and she spoke first:

"My girl said that gradient dyeing changes the source of goods, this matter is beneficial to both parties, and the boss agrees, right?"

Qian Hao nodded, guessed that there was a backstroke, and motioned for Xiao Niangzi to continue.

Xiao Niangzi glanced at Lin Meiyi first, and when she saw her bowing slightly, she suddenly felt that her apprentice was very courageous, and she would never be able to do it anyway.

"One thousand taels." Xiao Niangzi tried her best to say these three words in the most calm tone, but when she said it, Qian Hao still heard a lack of confidence.

He subconsciously wanted to suppress the price, and when he looked at Lin Meiyi in a blink of an eye, the corner of the little girl's mouth always had a faint smile, which was unfathomable.

When it came to his mouth, he couldn't say it at once, only showing a wry smile of embarrassment.

Lin Meiyi opened her mouth and said: "Boss Qian, I can provide you with an additional special dyed fabric every year, but it is not free, one hundred taels and one horses." ”

"Oh? What kind of special law? Actually a hundred taels? Qian Hao smiled tentatively, his face looked calm, but his heart was actually very shaken.

Lin Meiyi raised her eyebrows, "Colorful black, is it special?" ”
