Chapter 54: Verbal Sword
Ruan Mingyu threw the peeled peanuts into the air and continued to chew them with his mouth, "Don't worry. Although the process is simple, the ratio of making gold clay is still in the hands of Li Yatou. It will be three or five years before others imitate it. ”
I don't know if he was admiring the taste of peanuts or this skill, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Moreover, who said that gilt jewelry is only limited to Minzhou?" ”
Shopkeeper Hong was pleasantly surprised: "What does the young owner mean......? ”
"My Jingbao Pavilion has eight branches in five provinces from the capital to the locality," Ruan Mingyu slowly peeled off a peanut and faded his red clothes, "Such a good resource, it is natural to make use of it and promote gilt jewelry to all parts of the country."
"Wonderful!" Shopkeeper Hong clapped his hands and laughed, "Even if the market in Minzhou is full, other provinces will still be useful." ”
He suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "But...... This sales can't be counted on your head, and when the time comes, you will have to suffer a loss when the headquarters settles the performance......"
"I can't lose anything. Sell my stuff in other branches, and I will still receive dividends. After a few years, when the market is full, I will propose to the main store in Beijing to sell the secret recipe for gilding, or to 'train' their craftsmen. ”
Ruan Mingyu smiled, "It's to teach this skill - a new word invented by Li Yatou." Naturally, it can't be free. ”
"Directly rely on this skill secret recipe to share dividends!" Shopkeeper Hong gave Ruan Mingyu a thumbs up. He didn't expect that this process had just started, and the young owner had thought about the development plan for the next few years, and admired his foresight.
As she was talking, Li Jingshan knocked on the door and came in to report on the progress.
Li Jingshan took the schedule and introduced it at a glance, and finally concluded: "In another ten days, this group of trained craftsmen will be able to make gilt jewelry independently." It is estimated that the gilt jewelry will be available in late February. ”
The two people in charge smiled tacitly, and sure enough, everything went well.
I heard Li Jingshan say again: "The craftsmen are exposed to mercury all day long, although I have told them to take good precautions, but that thing is poisonous after all. Please make a big pot of mung bean soup every day, so that everyone can drink it to detoxify. ”
Ruan Mingyu looked at Shopkeeper Hong. Shopkeeper Hong hurriedly said, "It should be." Thank you Miss Li for reminding me, I will arrange it immediately. It can be served at lunchtime. "Hurry down and set it up.
After Li Jingshan's report was completed, she was also blessed and ready to leave. Ruan Mingyu put the pile of peanut shells in front of him into the porcelain plate next to him, and stood up, "It's almost time for lunch, don't go back to the workshop." Let's go, young master, I'll take you to eat something delicious. ”
Li Jingshan was stunned, "Huh? Is this going to take me to pick up again? ”
Ruan Mingyu laughed and walked out the door: "Please eat!" I'm in a good mood today, young master, and I'll treat you well! ”
The corners of Li Jingshan's eyes were full of smiles, and she hurriedly brushed the broken hair on her sideburns, and secretly pulled the placket of her clothes, and followed Young Master Ruan out of the Treasure Hunting Pavilion.
Peach Blossom Street, which turns two streets from Jingbao Pavilion, is a food street in Minzhou City. Many famous sake breweries and restaurants are located here. Therefore, the two of them did not take the carriage, but walked over.
When I arrived at Peach Blossom Street, it was time for dinner. Ruan Mingyu took Li Jingshan to Baiyun Tower, found a location upstairs near the window, ordered a few signature dishes here, and specially ordered a lily mung bean soup for Li Jingshan.
"You didn't drink the mung bean soup in the store, I'll make it up for you here." Ruan Mingyu said with a smile.
When Li Jingshan heard this, she honestly and unceremoniously said to the guy: "I don't want the lily, add two slices of tangerine peel to the mung bean soup." He turned back to the soft young master and explained, "Now in spring, mung beans are cold, and adding tangerine peel can neutralize it." ”
Ruan Mingyu's eyes were cold, and his brows furrowed: "Oh? Why didn't I hear you talk about this in the store just now? ”
"Although tangerine peel can neutralize the coldness of mung bean, it also affects its detoxification effect." Li Jingshan didn't notice the questioning in Ruan Mingyu's tone, and explained wholeheartedly: "The craftsmen are all men, and they are full of yang energy, so it doesn't hurt to add tangerine peel." ”
The coldness in Ruan Mingyu's eyes dissipated, revealing a soft smile, "In this way, then I'll let the guy cook mung bean soup for you alone." ”
"Ahem!" Li Jingshan choked out a sip of tea, and hurriedly said, "No, don't bother." Thank you for your kindness. ”
Xindao is in a very good mood today, who knows if this is really an employee benefit, or if there is any unusual work waiting for her?
Ruan Mingyu knew what she was thinking when she saw her eyes rolling, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm afraid I'll cheat you again?" I was wronged! Where to find a boss like me who cares about his employees. ”
Li Jingshan laughed dryly twice and did not talk.
"Yes, what kind of means did this employee use to get so much attention from the boss?" Someone next to him sneered.
When Li Jingshan heard the harsh voice, her face fell, and there were only four words in her mind: the road is narrow.
Ruan Mingyu looked at it, and his eyes turned cold. Li Jingyao and Ma Jirong were walking over from the staircase.
Li Jingyao walked to their table and looked at them condescendingly, with a contemptuous sneer on the corner of her mouth, "So quickly mixed up eating and drinking tea at the same table with the boss, should I praise you for your good work or praise you for your good leg work?" ”
Li Jingshan was about to stand up as soon as she pressed the table, but was pressed by Ruan Mingyu's hand on the back of her hand. He took a leisurely sip of tea, raised his eyelids and glanced at Li Jingyao and Ma Jirong, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Ma Gongzi and his wife." Brother Ma, Mrs. Xian also worked in the jewelry shop before she got married, why does your wife know so much about these methods? ”
He stretched out his hand to support the jade crown on his head, and his eyes fell lightly on the scholar's towel on Ma Jirong's head, "Ma Gongzi looks good today, but if it is green, it will be more worthy of you." ”
"Poof-" Li Jingshan squirted out a mouthful of tea.
Li Jingyao's face flushed, and she pointed at Ruan Mingyu angrily, "You! You are talking nonsense! ”
Ma Jirong is face is pale. He pulled Li Jingyao and said hatefully to Ruan Mingyu: "Young Master Ruan, it is in vain that you are a person who has read the books of sages, and you need to be virtuous when you speak." ”
Ruan Mingyu turned the teacup in his hand, stared at him and said, "It's easy to say." The saint has clouds: repay grievances with straightforwardness, and repay virtue with virtue. He put the quilt on the table heavily, made a snapping sound, and his eyes suddenly turned sharp, "I, Ruan Sanshao, have always been a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye!" ”
The corners of his mouth curled suddenly, and the coldness of Fang Cai was immediately like a spring breeze, and the ice melted: "If Ma Gongzi still cares about the color of the top of his head, it is better to discipline his wife well." The younger brother's private affairs dare not be bothered by Mrs. Lao Xian. ”
Ma Jirong stopped Li Jingyao, who still wanted to talk back, and said coldly to Ruan Mingyu: "There is a meeting in the mountains and rivers, you remember it for me!" Ignoring Li Jingyao, he turned around and went downstairs angrily.
Li Jingyao also panicked when she saw it, and glared at them fiercely, "You wait!" He hurried after him.
When she got downstairs, Li Jingyao saw Ma Jirong walking briskly in front without looking back, and hurriedly shouted to catch up, "Brother Ji, slow down, wait for me!" ”
Ma Jirong didn't seem to hear it, and walked away quickly.
Li Jingyao had no choice but to pick up her skirt and trot after her, pulling Ma Jirong's sleeve, and said aggrievedly: "Brother Ji, even if you are angry with that pair of dogs, men, and women, you can't leave me ......"
Unexpectedly, Ma Jirong flicked his sleeves and almost threw her off.
He turned around and looked at Li Jingyao viciously, "Even with a noble temperament like Li Jingshan, she still has to accompany her boss to drink in the end." You know all about the dealings in the mall. I also want to ask, how do you know? ”
Li Jingyao looked at Ma Jirong incredulously, and said in a lost voice: "You, you actually believe him and doubt my ......"
She was so aggrieved that tears filled her eyes, but she couldn't bear it, the pear blossom brought the rain and was pitiful, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Ji, although we are not in the round room on the wedding night, but did I give it to you for the first time, don't you know?" You—How can you say that about me! ”
Ma Jirong thought about it carefully, then slowed down his face, put his arm around Li Jingyao's shoulder, and coaxed in a good voice: "Okay, I was dizzy by that Ruan Xiao'er for a while." Don't cry. ”
He hugged Li Jingyao and walked forward, the gloom in his eyes still did not dissipate, and he said for a while: "In the future, you will be in the Sizhenfang Pipe Workshop, don't go to the sales at the front desk." If it's inconvenient for you, I'll mention it to my father-in-law. ”
Li Jingyao knew that this was not the time to argue, so she had to nod gloomily. I heard Ma Jirong say again: "Last time, my father-in-law also said that I should not look for the fork of the girl." It's not fun to be arguing around. ”
Li Jingyao hurriedly looked up at Ma Jirong. Ma Jirong didn't look at her, just looked straight ahead, without waves. She had to hum reluctantly.
Here, Ruan Mingyu watched the person leave his field of vision, and the smile on the corner of his mouth faded. The beautiful face is as cold as a jade carving, dignified and inviolable.
Li Jingshan was a little apprehensive in the face of such a cold face. She said carefully: "Young master, thank you for helping me ......"
Ruan Mingyu turned his head and smiled coldly: "Don't thank me." I just can't tolerate anyone throwing sewage on me. Just because those two people want to step on my head, it's a little tender! ”
This is Ruan Mingyu, whom Li Jingshan has never seen before, his eyes are cold, and his words are like knives, instantly bringing out a piece of slaughter.
Li Jingshan didn't know how to answer for a while, so she just looked at him in a daze.
The food that happened to be ordered was delivered, Ruan Mingyu's eyebrows were raised, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and he had a warm expression, and he took the initiative to greet with chopsticks: "Come, don't spoil your appetite for those two villains, eat vegetables." ”
Li Jingshan was flattered and took the piece of West Lake vinegar fish with a bowl. sighed in my heart, this young master is really class-conscious: as harsh as a cold winter for enemies, and as warm as a spring breeze for friends! He's a good comrade.
Li Jingshan raised her eyebrows today and ate very happily. Ruan Mingyu seemed to be so excited that he ate a few bites at random and then stopped. He turned the jade wrench in his hand, twisted his brow and pondered, not knowing what he was thinking. If Ruan Shu or Ruan Mo were there, they would definitely be able to know who or what the young master of his family was seriously involved with.
After lunch, the two returned to the Treasure Pavilion to start their own work. Li Jingshan originally Ruan Mingyu just said it casually, but found that the room really prepared another cup of mung bean soup with tangerine peel for her every day.
Every time she held the mung bean soup with this spice, her little face was slightly red. Reason told her that this was the young master's means of maneuvering; However, emotions are deeply trapped in this silent trick of stealing hearts, and a heart is entangled more and more tightly by love.
