Chapter 42 That's only a third

Shang Ruonan and Shang Dongliang went to the outer courtyard together, but every time they entered and exited the courtyard of the second gate, they would be stared at twice by that Wu Pozi. This made Shang Ruonan very unhappy, and decided to find an opportunity to clean up this Wu Pozi. Not to mention anything else, just by hearing from the sisters about this Wu Pozi, Shang Ruonan wanted to find trouble with this Wu Pozi.

As his father arrived in the small courtyard, Shang Dongliang called Zhang Baocheng and his wife and asked them to get to know each other:

"This is Miss Four, in the future, what you do and how to do it, just listen to Miss Four."

Zhang Baocheng and his wife were a little surprised, this is a young lady, isn't it that everyone is not out of the second door? Is this the outer court?

The couple didn't dare to look at the young lady directly, but only doubted in their hearts. Half-bowed his head and looked at the ground.

Shang Ruonan didn't say anything, just silently followed his father to the main house, in the main house, there is no other furniture now, only a table is still placed there on the side. In the other place, two rows of large wooden barrels are neatly stacked. They were all covered with lids, and the lids were sealed with wax.

Shang Ruonan was a little curious, how did this kind of thing be preserved in this era when there were no sealed things, but I didn't expect it to be so simple, using wax! I stepped forward and gently tapped the barrels, and they all made a dull sound. It looks like it's all full.

"These are the pigments in them, these are good pigments, my father just wanted to open a dye room, and then ... Anyway, it didn't start after that. Just put it away. The white cloth in the warehouse was also used to enter the dyeing room, so now there is only white cloth. ”

Shang Dongliang said to his daughter. As he was talking, a voice came from outside, and Shang Dongliang looked at it, it was the shopkeeper Yang who sent the white cloth over.

Shang Ruonan stretched out his head from behind his father and saw some people carrying large cloth bags one by one, one by one the cloth bandages were very tight and rectangular. It looked heavy, because they were all deeply hooked around their waists.

Then, according to Uncle Gen's request, he put the cloth bags in another room in the main house. In a few moments, half a room full of cloth bags was piled up. Shang Ruonan asked to open a bag and take a look, there were three columns in each bag, each column had six pieces of cloth, and one pack was eighteen horses. Looking at the full cloth bags in this room, Shang Ruonan suddenly felt that the pressure was coming!

The men put all the cloth bags away. Exit quickly. Shang Dongliang looked at the cloth bag in this room and said:

"Little Si'er, this is just one of the three shares, let's take it over for you to try first, and see if it works."

Shang Ruonan glared at him all of a sudden, looking at his father, this is only a third? How big is this merchant's business? Shang Ruonan stopped talking, turned around and walked out of the room.

In the courtyard, Zhang Baocheng and his wife were setting up bamboo pole shelves, lined up in the courtyard, Shang Ruonan stepped forward and said:

"Master Zhang, tell me how you used to dye the cloth?"

Zhang Baocheng hurriedly bowed down and replied with some trepidation:

"Miss, your name is little Zhang Baocheng. The little one can't be a master. The little ones are just helping in the dyeing room, and the real dyeing master is not us. ”

Shang Ruonan was stunned for a moment and said:

"Then tell me what the process of your original dyeing room was like. For example, what to do first, what to do next, what to pay attention to. ”|

Zhang Baocheng was stunned this time. What does this lady ask these for? Is it a test of whether I can dye the cloth? After thinking about it, he replied:

"The small one used to work in the dyeing room, there is a special master to adjust the color, what color to mix every day, how many pieces of cloth to dye, all by the owner to speak, and then the master to change the color. We dyed it, and then my daughter-in-law and a few of them helped dry it. It seems that the masters have said that the water with a good color must be stirred constantly, so as not to let the color precipitate in some places, and the color in some places will be dyed unevenly. Pay attention to the sun when drying, and don't let the sun be too big. The sunburned ones will change color, so pay attention to flipping. ”

Zhang Baocheng's daughter-in-law opened her mouth behind Zhang Baocheng, but did not speak. was seen by Shang Ruonan, Shang Ruonan said:

"What do you want to say?"

Bao Chengjia said a little embarrassedly:

"Miss, the little one just thought that when the little one used to help dry the cloth, he should pay attention to the place where the rod was attached, and the color would be lighter. In the past, I told the master about this, and the master told us to leave it alone, and it wasn't something we could afford to wear anyway. ”

Shang Ruonan listened carefully:

"Then I'm definitely different, I'll listen to your opinions, I'm the first time to dye, and some places may not have as much experience as yours. My dad told me to try my hand first, so we did it in this yard. But if you think there is anything to remind me, you must say it directly, if you don't say it, I will help us if you are not sincere! ”

Zhang Baocheng and his wife immediately saluted:

"Miss, the little one must do his best to help Miss, and the little family will be a merchant in the future. These young ladies are also helping themselves! This truth is still understandable. ”

This made Shang Ruonan look at Zhang Baocheng more. There are not many people who can understand this truth, and not many people can fit themselves into a family. Yes! It seems that these two are still available.

Shang Ruonan nodded and said:

"Okay, then we'll wait and see, tomorrow, we'll try dyeing, what about me now, only color matching, how to operate. You take care of it. I'll be here tomorrow morning. You need to prepare some of the things that need to be prepared first. ”

Zhang Baocheng bowed again and replied:

"Yes, miss, let's put this shelf up. That's pretty much it. However, there is one less well in this yard. Because to do this, you need to use a lot of water, and if you rely on carrying water, I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome. ”

Shang Dongliang stood aside and thought about it:

"I'll solve this matter, you find Uncle Gen first, and let Uncle Gen transfer two people for you to carry water. There is a well on the other side outside. ”

Zhang Baocheng responded. Shang Dongliang took Shang Ruonan back to the inner courtyard.

After entering the door of the inner courtyard, Shang Ruonan did not go directly to the main courtyard, nor did he go back to his own courtyard. Instead, after saying goodbye to his father, he walked along the walled corridor on this side of the inner courtyard until he came to a position where Lilac supported him, and then stood on the railing at the edge of the corridor.

Lilac didn't dare, Miss fell because she climbed the wall. If this pair climbs up, it won't work.

Looking at Lilac's expression, Shang Ruonan knew what she was thinking. Shang Ruonan smiled:

"Don't be afraid, then why don't you come and see if it's the courtyard we just went to."

Lilac looked at it:

"Miss Hui, here is the courtyard across this wall, look at it, aren't the bamboo poles all on this wall?"
