Chapter 39: Using the Snow
After Li Santian retreated, a few people who were anxious about Lu Ju hurriedly came over, worried: "Miss! How good is that! β
Li Yuqing's heart is very calm, a little because of the effect of practicing calligraphy these days, and now when he encounters such a thing, his mind is not anxious and worried, but calmly thinking about how to deal with it.
Looking at the few faces that looked at her worriedly, the true feelings on their faces did not seem to be fake, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a little relieved, and said softly and comfortingly:
"The current situation is not too bad, there is still a chance to save, there is no need to worry so much. What's more, we always have to go through such things, and instead of worrying, we should think calmly, think about how to do it, and try our best to break this situation. β
Midori smiled and clasped the young lady and their hands tightly.
"We understand that worrying about things is just in vain, and we need to calm down, take action, and fight for it."
Several people nodded, and the warmth of each other came from the handshake, as if each other's hearts were getting closer with the heat, and the worries on Hachiwa's face dissipated, and his eyes were resolute and reassuring.
With Miss here, what are you afraid of? It's a big deal to come from a new place with nothing, and they will watch the young lady work miracles again.
"Bihe, go to the outer courtyard and ask Hachiwa to come over immediately." Bihe went to stay in the shop for a month and came back, which will change Xing'er to hone her temperament.
Running errands has always been the job of the little girl, but this will be urgent and important, so she called Bihe, who has a fast foot.
"Miss, what are you looking for me?" Li Balun was a slender teenager, a head shorter than the normal man here, and he bowed flexibly and asked directly.
When he came, he listened to Sister Bihe, and knew that the matter was important and could not be delayed, so he ran all the way.
Li Yuqing didn't need to say much, and directly ordered:
"Go and keep an eye on the strict stewardship from Nafu, and go directly to the largest inn in the town to investigate."
Hachiwa is slender and flexible, and his brain is sharp, so it is most appropriate to send him to find out the news.
The shopkeeper Yan is a proud person in his heart, so he naturally chooses the best place to live, and after listening to Li Sansan's words at this time, he should stay for a few more days to explore the truth of those words.
Hachiwa listened to the order and went immediately.
Li Yuqing sat on a wicker chair, thinking about the countermeasures for this matter.
Now there are only two ways to deal with it, one is to let the shopkeeper Yan and the people behind him believe that there is indeed a backer behind this new Muzhai, and this backer is a behemoth, and he doesn't dare to try it out at all.
The second is to turn this nonsense into reality and find a real backer for cooperation, so that the crisis is solved and the future development is safe.
In fact, she has long considered finding a strong partner, after all, if her shop wants to develop externally and become famous, it is natural to move towards various prefectures, and the first step that must be passed is the Wuping Mansion of this prefecture.
Although she could develop in the next house, it was too far away and she couldn't afford anything if she didn't take care of it.
She now has limited financial resources, and the people she uses also need to be taken with her to cultivate her abilities, run in tacit understanding, and can't be far away. Her time and energy are not much to devote to reading, learning various skills, and seeking power.

Hachiwa didn't go directly to the Yuelai Inn, and went to the backyard of Xinmuzhai first.
The little six sons of the new recruit in the shop were washing things by the well, and they were very happy to see him coming, and hurriedly got up to greet him, and shouted affectionately:
"Brother Hachiwa, you haven't been here in a few days!"
He has actually only seen this little six sons a few times, and he is not very familiar with him, but he is willing to mingle with others, and the young lady said that this is his advantage and he has to make good use of it.
So he didn't refuse this enthusiasm, and smiled brightly: "I've been busy lately, I'll get a few cups of milk tea!" β
As he spoke, his steps did not decrease, and he entered the kitchen, and Xiao Liuzi also followed in.
Seeing Xiao Liuzi coming in, Li Xisui inside frowned, poured the boiled milk tea into the jar and dried, and said in an unkind tone:
"Little Liuzi, why did you come in again? They all said that they were not allowed to enter the back kitchen, how many times did they tell you! β
Xisui's voice was very loud, and when she said this, everyone who was originally busy with things in their hands raised their heads and looked at Xiao Liuzi, and their expressions were not very good.
Xiao Liuzi's big eyes turned around, and finally looked at Balun pitifully: "I came in with Brother Balun and wanted to help him." β
Hachiwa noticed Xiao Liuzi's eyes looking around, of course he was not stupid, this kitchen was a heavy place, and people recruited from outside were not allowed to come in.
This little sixth son came in in his name presumably for the secret recipe, but whether he came to steal the teacher or someone instructed him behind him still has to consider one or two...
Yawa bent his eyebrows, and the hand on his left secretly gestured to everyone, and then said softly:
"Xiao Liuzi came in with me, I didn't pay attention to it and didn't make it clear, but the rules still can't be abolished, Liuzi, you go out first."
glanced at Xiao Liuzi and signaled to him to relieve the siege, and go out at this time.
Xiao Liuzi glanced at Yawa gratefully, walked backwards, glanced at the things in the kitchen, and looked reluctant.
When Xiao Liuzi went out, Balun closed the kitchen door and said hurriedly:
"Please sisters and Brother Pang prepare me a few cups of jasmine matcha pudding milk tea, I need it urgently! Don't catch this little sixth son if he doesn't have the right mind, wait to see if anyone is talking behind him! β
quickly finished a long paragraph, and urged:
"Sisters, big brothers, hurry up and do what Miss taught me!"
As soon as everyone heard that it was the young lady's urgent matter, several people cooperated and took a few breaths to get it done.
Balun carried the milk tea and ran to the Yuelai Inn without looking back.
"Hachiwa, you're here again! Look what else you're carrying! "The shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn is surnamed Wang, round and chubby, and his face is very kind.
At this time, he said this kind word, but his hand was not polite at all, and he squeezed his fat hand and snatched the things in Yawa's hand neatly.
Balun was not annoyed, he looked happy and naΓ―ve, and whispered to the chubby shopkeeper:
"Shopkeeper Wang, there are some big businessmen coming recently, introduce me to it, I want them to give Xinmuzhai publicity!"
After the fat shopkeeper held something in his hand, his smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, and he didn't say anything when he heard the words, but slowly opened the wooden lid of the milk tea seal, and took out a straw straw and inserted it into the milk tea.
"Snorr" took a sip, the flesh on his face shook happily with the owner's mood, walked to the counter briskly, opened the registration record on it, and pointed to a line of words:
"There is a merchant from Fucheng, surnamed Yan, and he also bought a lot of things from your Xinmuzhai, a lot of them, and he used ice to calm them! The guys who ran the hall have moved for a long time. β
Eight rounds of joy, towards the line of residence records to look at the record: the fourth evening of the ninth month of the fourth month, until the fifth evening of the first month.
I'll be back this evening! I'm afraid it's going to be too late! Hachiro's pupils shrank, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back.
Suddenly, I heard the shopkeeper next to him smile: "Thanks to your luck, this kid, this line of guests came back not long ago and extended the travel expenses for another day, saying that they wanted to go to your shop to see the script, but I haven't had time to change the annotation!" β
Hearing this, Hachiro's heart fell suddenly, his eyes were ecstatic, and his voice trembled:
"Thanks to this luck! Thank you, shopkeeper Wang, I'll go back and talk to my boss first! β
Seeing that the kid in front of him was so excited, Shopkeeper Wang just waved his hand: "What is there to thank, your milk tea is not for free!" β
Hachiwa didn't care to say thank you, turned his head and ran into the scorching sun.

"I see." Li Yuqing twisted a few grains of smoke and sand, counting them one by one.
glanced at the sweaty Hachiwa, and motioned to Fan Sakura to hand over a handkerchief:
"Wipe your sweat, go back and take a bath and drink some sour plum soup, so as not to suffer from heat stroke, since he is going to the shop tomorrow, you don't have to look at it again, retreat!"
Since the target person took the initiative to come to the door, he had to set up a bureau tomorrow to make him firmly believe that the background behind this new Muzhai could not be provoked.
"Let's put on a play tomorrow."
"Then miss, why don't you look for a cooperative force? In my opinion, it is more reliable to find a collaborator. β
Bihe was a little puzzled, she was a lot more stable now, and her thinking circuit was not wrong.
Li Yuqing taught patiently: "Although the latter is more reliable, we can't afford to wait for the current situation, we must first seize an opportunity on the steward's side, and when he returns home, we will find a collaborator."
After all, under our current conditions, how powerful people can we reach? In the short term, if you can't find a strong enough collaborator, if you give up this opportunity in front of you, wouldn't it be equivalent to doing nothing? β
Bihe frowned and thought deeply, but the rest of the maids were calm and calm, not surprised by this.
Li Yuqing nodded, Bihe is about to leave the school, and the next thing is to train Xing'er Xiaozao.
Although the most important and intimate things around the aristocratic lady are a few big girls, in her opinion, the little maids who help pass the word and run errands are also extremely important, they are smart and alert, and they can also prevent a lot of private affairs in the back house for her.
I went to the study and read a lot of books about Wushan, the settlement of the hermit family, and I had a general idea in my heart, and a plan has taken shape.
Let Mama Yang go to the warehouse to get the best piece of fabric, which is a cloth woven by the snow. There is a small roll, palm wide, several feet long, light as cicada wings, spread out, shining with colorful light, very beautiful.
This Youyi Snow is a kind of plant, growing on the 10,000-foot high mountains in the polar region, blooming for a thousand years, the flowers can be woven into silk into fabric, this small volume is the treasure of the Zhou family's inheritance.
"Why did my sister use it?" Mama Yang frowned, this is a priceless treasure, how decent it should be to make a dowry for her sister in the future.
Li Yuqing told Mama Yang about it, she was busy before, and she didn't have time to find Mama Yang.
Mama Yang's eyes were filled with anger: "I am really not cautious in the past three days, I have been a steward for a few days, and I have become like this, hurting my sister..."
Li Yuqing hurriedly took Mama Yang's hand and patted it gently: "Don't say this, I already have a way, don't worry!" β
