"Wang Dongjia, you are here, you see that this roof can be repaired solidly, and you will not leak it for five years or ten years." The mason on the roof of the wing house was the first to say hello, and the carpentry below, the miscellaneous people were quietly doing their work.

Wang San also lowered his head slightly, and said in a manner, "There is a foreman of Lao Zhang, this work can be done today, but when I come?" ”

The foreman smiled, "It's almost over, the owner is really good at counting days, let's take a look when it's good here, and we don't need to run some more roads." ”

Wang San listened and went to the hall to wait, and asked someone to serve a pot of tea and wait alone.

Before noon, the foreman had come down from the roof, dismissed a group of people, and came to the hall to find Wang San.

Wang San took out the abacus, with one hand with the abacus, and the other hand held the bill in front of him, and after a while, he collected the tools for eating, and said to Foreman Zhang, "Ten taels of silver for ten days of labor, plus red tiles, other miscellaneous materials, and miscellaneous work, this work is done quickly, add change, give thirty taels, you see how it is." ”

"Cheerful people! At this time, if there is any irregularity in the future, the owner will say, I will bring someone immediately. As he spoke, he turned the silver that Wang San had given upside down.

"Oh, where else are you going to work here?" It's just a casual question. The foreman was a cheerful man, and said bluntly, "The Zhou family, this year their family is expanding the workshop, and last year they picked up a piece of cheap land from the Long family, and they are proud here." ”

"This Long family has no shortage of gold or silver in their hands, how can they give his family a piece of cheap land." If you have a heart, you will say more.

But the other side couldn't get on the set, scratched his head, and said with a smile, "I don't know, where do we know about their family's affairs, don't say that the owner knows about it from me, although it's spread outside, we still keep the prison in hand." ”

Wang San smiled and said, "Keep your mouth tight, if you reveal some more, it's okay." ”

They are all people who are used to walking outside, and they are tight, so it is natural that more is better than less, and Foreman Zhang thanked the salary and ran away.

Foreman Zhang had just gone out, and someone in the hall came in again, and when he looked at it, it was far away, and he was sweating profusely to drill home, and when he saw Wang San, he said happily, "Third brother, do you guess how many I will draw lots?" ”

It turned out to be this, "Look at the happy look on your face, it's not always the last few, when the tongue is not flexible, it should be the first few." ”

Pinyuan snatched the tea from Wang San's table, poured it into his mouth, and said with a smile after drinking, "Hehe, good luck this year, I drew the sixth, and the first few are all small tea households, so don't be afraid." ”

"This is something to be happy about, compared to the sixth draw, this year's lottery is towards here, and I don't have to worry about keeping people. How are the two tea merchants doing? ”

Speaking of this, Pin Yuan was a little unhappy, sat on the stool and said, "That Li Dongjia didn't say anything, it's still like that, but Lu Dongjia is a little unhappy." ”

"How? I haven't lived in the house for the past few days, so why is there anything else? Wang Sandao.

"Alas, the thing on the bright side is that after seeing my workshop, although I didn't say anything at the time, I was saying that my workshop was too small, and even a slightly larger tea garden couldn't compare, and I didn't know where I heard the rumors, saying that this year's output and quality are not good, and the momentum of price reduction is too clear." Sold far away.

When Wang San heard this, he couldn't help frowning, although talking about business is the Ma family's own business, but this is his own matchmaking, and he can't just throw his hand halfway, leaving the two families to fight directly, and there is less opportunity to maneuver.

"Did you get a quote over there?"

Pinyuan touched the teacup in his hand and said, "Not yet, I just said something to pressure my family, and I didn't dare to raise the price, for fear that it would be too direct, and the business would be yellow." My dad was going to tell you, but he was entangled by the people in the workshop, and it was a mess. ”

The so-called taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others, Wang San has been a strategist of the Ma family for many years, whether it is to invite tea merchants outside, or to make other families bad, it is rare to intervene, but the private affairs in this tea garden, it is inconvenient to care, and he will not ask more, so he said, "I will go to see Uncle Ma tomorrow morning and get some work." ”

Pinyuan didn't mean this, and after listening to Wang San's words, he didn't say more, he had been friends for many years, so he didn't care about these little things, so he diverted the topic and asked, "Ah Pan, can you be in the inn recently?" Yesterday she asked me to go to play, I really couldn't get away, today I was instructed to go to the city to do things, so I have half a day of leisure, will she be angry with me. ”

"That's not true, she's a person who can't stop, yesterday she was coaxed by her father to the countryside to play for a day, and fished a cage of barracuda back, her heart is beautiful, where will you be angry." It was a word of relief, but there was an unstoppable loss in Pinyuan's eyes, how did Wang San not know, one was that the flowing water was intentional. Then he said, "When I went out this morning, I was still at home, and if I go now, it will be too late." ”

Pinyuan waved his hand and said, "I'm going to go to Sister Yi to have a look, my brother-in-law is going to Tong'an this afternoon, and my father asked me to go to see it at noon." After that, he thought about it again, and then said, "I'll go to you again in the afternoon, and it's okay today." ”

"By the way, Sister Liang, is there anyone else who is here to make trouble? There has been no news in the past few days, and those things that happened this year, in the final analysis, are also the forks that others have come to find when they see my family is weak, how can there be such a thing in the past. "At a young age, even though I listened to my father's dispatch, I also had the feeling of being an owner, and all sides also noticed it.

Wang Sanzhi was not disgusted, but felt relieved, this little child who watched him grow up, and began to worry about things at home, and the Ma family would be regarded as a successor in the future, so he replied, "Fortunately, I haven't heard anything in the past few days." ”

"Third brother, you don't have to reply like a task, I'm just worried that Sister Liang won't be able to cope with it, although she took the initiative to say that she would be the shopkeeper that day, but it can be regarded as my view that she helped Sister Yi in the past, but this year's situation, the shopkeeper of the Ma family shop is not as good as in the past, and anyone dares to intervene."

Pin Yuan suddenly remembered one more thing, so he said, "Third brother, do you know the Zhou family in the south of the city, how do I feel that his family has the intention of working against my family this year." ”

"Huh? There is indeed some movement in his family this year, but where do you see what this is doing? Wang San knew that Pin Yuan had never been very aware of these grievances and grievances, and now this matter has been stabbed to this kind of bright side, and he still doesn't know, which is also very dereliction of duty.

Pin Yuan scratched his head, a little undecided, "When I went to draw lots just now, the shopkeeper sent by the Zhou family on the opposite side walked in front, and there was always something unkind when he looked back at me, and at first I thought it was my illusion, after all, I was not the only one in the crowd behind." When it was my turn to draw lots, he listened not far away, so I paid special attention, and when he heard my signature, he hummed, and I was very sure that he didn't see my family well.

However, the Zhou family has never had any contact with my family, although his family is on the top and my family is on the bottom in recent years, and there are no grievances, but today, his family seems to have been married to my family for several years, and I am very strange. ”
