Chapter Twenty-Nine: Losing the Lady and Breaking the Soldiers
"Really? Then I'm going to try it tonight. Pei Yu happily accepted the soap, "I am very satisfied with what you have done, Mama Zhang, you negotiate a good price with Xiao Tao, and then go to the account office to pay the silver." ”
Then he turned his head to Zhang Tao and said, "I trust you so much, you can't mess up my gift." ”
Pei Yu said with a smile, but Zhang Tao couldn't reply with a smile, so he could only repeatedly promise and thank Chu Yu for his trust.
Coming out of Pei's mansion, Zhang Tao carried a stack of silver tickets in her arms, and the joy in her heart was not lost at all when she first became the first anchor on the whole network.
It's a little bit to be able to make more money, but it's more happy because I can finally gain a foothold in this era, finally get recognized, and find a sense of existence.
When Zhang Tao was in full swing to make rouge, the Li family next door was not idle.
The helper Li Daniu is looking for is called Wang Dali.
That's right, it was the thug who abducted and sold Zhang Tao and their sister Hong. It was also Wang Dali's good luck, when the government came to arrest them, Wang Dali happened to go out and escaped.
Afterwards, the official didn't ask if there was anyone else, and Sister Hong, there was no need for them to take the initiative to admit that there was another Wang Dali, so he became the fish who slipped through the net.
When Li Daniu found him and said that there was a big deal, and there was a cub next door who could make rouge, he guessed that it was Zhang Tao. At that time, they all knew that Zhang Tao had gained Liu Yunfei's trust.
"Dali, when do you think it's right for us to do it?"
Li Daniu is usually good with the Li family, and he doesn't have such a big temper when he is with others, Wang Dali is his brother from childhood to adulthood, and he has long been used to listening to Wang Dali in everything.
"This Zhang Tao is not easy to mess with, if you want her to be obedient all the time, you have to discount her legs."
Sister Hong and Liu Yunfei were both planted in Zhang Tao's hands, and even if Wang Dali was stupid, he knew that she was not easy to mess with.
He couldn't think of a good idea, but he came up with such a method once and for all.
Li Daniu, who had already been blinded by the silver and lost his mind, felt that what Wang Dali said was particularly reasonable at the moment.
"You're right, when are we going to do it?"
Li Daniu asked again, but the money didn't reach his hands, and he was not sure.
"Tonight, I'll get some anesthetics."
I have been working with Sister Hong for several years, and Wang Dali has rectified a lot of these things, and now is the time to use them.
It's night.
Li Chengshou, who has mastered the technique of making soap, is slowly pouring the soap liquid that has been mixed into the abrasive, decorating it with flower petals, and then placing them on a side shelf to let them dry naturally.
The dried soap was gently demolded, the fine edges were taken care of, and then packed with the wrapping paper sent by Pei Fu, which was one more piece away from the required amount.
And Zhang Tao was on another table, grinding the petals finely, refining essential oils and extracting juices. There are a lot of rouge boxes that have been made on the side.
Li Daniu and Wang Dali waited outside for an hour, but they didn't see any intention of going back to the house to sleep.
"What should I do?"
Li Daniu asked Wang Dali, it is not a way to wait like this, and they can't bear it even more.
Wang Dali frowned and took out the medicine that had been prepared from his arms.
"Use this."
I wanted to use it while they were sleeping, and the effect would be better, but I don't know when they will sleep, so let's use it now.
Li Chengshou, who was discussing things next to Zhang Tao, suddenly smelled a strange smell, held his breath suddenly, reached out to cover Zhang Tao's nose, and looked at the window at the same time.
was suddenly covered and picked his nose, Zhang Tao looked back at Li Chengshou, and followed his gaze to see a slow green smoke in the window. Her hand was on Li Chengshou's hand, replacing his.
Two people crept to the door, one on each side, waiting for someone to come.
Wang Dali, who was outside the window, heard that there was no sound in the room, and thought that the medicine was working, so he and Li Daniu kicked the door open unscrupulously.
As a result, as soon as they entered the door, they were knocked unconscious by Li Chengshou and Zhang Tao, who were hiding behind the door, with sticks.
"I'd like to see who it is, who dares to calculate against me."
Zhang Tao kicked over the two people lying on the ground with his foot, and found that they were two acquaintances, and he became even more angry for a while.
Li Chengshou quickly opened the doors and windows to disperse the remaining medicines in the room, and when he turned around, he happened to see two people kicking Zhang Tao on the ground.
"Little Peach, what are you doing? That's pretty much it, what if you really kick the problem? ”
"What should I do?" Zhang Tao kicked Li Daniu again, "These two bastards have bullied us, if we just endure it, how will we live in the future?" They must have known that we took the Pei family's order to steal rouge. ”
Zhang Tao guessed half right, if she knew that they were still going to break her leg and put her under house arrest, it would not just be a matter of kicking a few feet.
"They trespassed into the house, let's just report to the official."
Looking at Zhang Tao's angry eyes, Li Chengshou was really a little worried that she would do something impulsively.
"Okay."
Wang Dali and Li Daniu, who tried to break into Zhang Tao's house, were taken away by the officials, especially when it was found that Wang Dali was still the fish that slipped through the net in the child abduction and trafficking case, the prefect Xu Congwen directly assigned the two without saying a word.
After Li learned the news, he handed a complaint to the yamen to ask for peace.
is about to be escorted to the frontier, Li Daniu does not agree to leave and has to leave, it is really a loss for his wife and soldiers, especially when he sees his son not even looking at himself, not to mention how much he regrets it, and even regrets listening to Li's instigation and beating the idea of the courtyard next door.
Pei Fu knew that someone had beaten the idea of his eldest lady and Lu Zhili, so he immediately sent five guards to Zhang Tao's courtyard, if nothing else, just to protect the smooth completion of Rouge, and nothing could go wrong.
After this trouble, Zhang Tao and Li Chengshou are completely famous in Xunyang City, and even three-year-old children know that there are two dolls that make rouge.
A month later, when the ladies of Xunyang City got Pei Yu's return gift, Zhang Tao became the name repeatedly mentioned by the ladies of Xunyang City.
Even, Xu Yan, who originally did not agree to let Xiaoman and Zhang Tao come and go, acquiesced to Xiaoman's sneaking out of the house to meet Zhang Tao and Li Chengshou.
Zhang Tao, who learned the truth, did not complain about Xiaoman, in the final analysis, she was innocent, in order to make Xiaoman feel better in the Lin Mansion, Zhang Tao even took out some rouge to Xiaoman, and asked her to take it back and leave the favor.
Since the rouge was made for Pei's house, many people have come to Zhang Tao, some asking to sell rouge, and some asking for cooperation.
Zhang Tao, who wanted to show off her skills, fell ill very unhappily. The doctor said that it was because of overwork, and Li Chengshou would not let Zhang Tao take a new order no matter what, as long as the money was enough to spend.
Missed the best opportunity to make money and make a fortune in vain, Zhang Tao didn't know how many times he scolded Li Chengshou, it was useless, who let his weak chicken's body not fight, so he had to give up.
It is worth being happy that the mushrooms that Li Chengshou carefully served have grown, although there are only a few, it is enough for two people to be happy.
After Zhang Tao's health improved, Li Chengshou listened to the doctor's words and took her to climb the mountain.
Zhang Tao was completely speechless, and his great business of making money was delayed by Li Chengshou for more than a month.
"Li Chengshou, are you hiding something from me? Otherwise, why let me run with you in the mountains all day long, it hasn't rained for a long time, what else can there be in the mountains? ”
When his health was better, Li Chengshou still dragged himself to the mountains, and they almost climbed the mountains around Xunyang City.
"I promised Dalong to help him pick a Ganoderma lucidum."
Facing Zhang Tao, Li Chengshou didn't dare to lie, so he could only tell the truth.
"Great Dragon?"
Zhang Tao was a little confused, and didn't remember who Dalong was for a while.
"Dalong is the brother and sister who took us to the broken kiln, when you were sick, Dalong came to me and said that his master wanted Xiaohua to be sold to the troupe, unless he could pick a Ganoderma lucidum."
As soon as Li Chengshou said this, Zhang Tao remembered who Dalong was, and they hadn't seen each other since they left, so it was normal for them to not remember it for a while.
"It hasn't rained in months, where can I pick Ganoderma lucidum?"
The Dalong brothers and sisters are kind to themselves, and Zhang Tao can't see death without help, but the objective reality must be faced, not a drop of rain has fallen, even if it is useless to run in the mountains for a long time.
"We should still have a lot of silver, can't we buy it all the time? Otherwise, go to Liu Dashan and redeem their brothers and sisters. ”
Anyway, they are not short of money now, and there is no need to spend so much effort on the problems that can be solved with money.
"Liu Dashan people do not agree to redeem themselves, he seems to be in trouble, he has to find fresh Ganoderma lucidum, I heard that many people in Liu's Mansion are in the same situation, they want to be free, they want to redeem themselves, they want to marry, no matter what they do, as long as they take a fresh Ganoderma lucidum, they can, otherwise they don't need to talk about it, and they will have a very miserable future."
Dalong said a lot to Li Chengshou and believed it very much, and now he told Zhang Tao everything about fifteen and ten.
What is this called?
Could it be that this Liu Dashan joined some mysterious organization, and he had to repay his wish for fresh Lingzhi?
No matter what, she can't watch Xiaohua's tragic future alone.
"Don't go to the mountains, come with me."
Zhang Tao and Li Chengshou walked along the mountain range, and when they saw the village, they went down to ask, and after walking for ten days, they finally met an old man in a village with only a few households.
"Guo Langzhong, I beg you, you can sell me that fresh Ganoderma lucidum, I'm willing to buy it at ten times the price, okay?"
A few days ago, Guo Langzhong saved the lives of the hunters in the village, and it happened that the hunters picked fresh Ganoderma lucidum, so they gave the Ganoderma lucidum to Guo Langzhong as a consultation fee.
After Zhang Tao learned about it, he hurriedly came to Guo Langzhong to buy Ganoderma lucidum.
"You kid is so funny, you can take ten taels of silver out and show me? Where did you get the money to buy Ganoderma lucidum? Also ten times, you know how much ten times is not? ”
Guo Langzhong had long heard that there was a fire Ganoderma lucidum on this mountain, but unfortunately he had not encountered it countless times on the mountain, and now he has naturally cherished it, but it is not something that can be bought and sold.
"One hundred taels, how's it going?"
