Chapter 11: Miscalculation

Mingyi stood for three or four hours, and the pedestrians on the road gradually thinned out, and his legs and feet couldn't bear it. Glancing at the cash box under the counter, a thin layer was made, and a lot of samples were given out.

Lianshan made the treasure candles, and sent Liu Enchao's gold beads and some ordinary gold and silver jewelry to a familiar merchant in the West Market for copper coins, which were three percent higher than the price of the East Market. It's nearly dusk when I come back.

Ming Yi saw Lianshan coming back, and there were no customers in the store, so he walked up quickly and pulled him to the counter: "Look at these, how much more can it be than usual?" ”

Lianshan came back from a hurry, he was already covered in heat, the dense beads of sweat on his forehead didn't have time to fall, and he was pulled closer by Mingyi, almost close to his body, his breathing became heavy inexplicably, and the tips of his ears were red, and he was stunned there all of a sudden, trying to hold his breath, holding it hard, and his whole body became even hotter.

Seeing that he was stunned, Ming Yi pushed him with his elbow: "What's the matter?" ”

Only then did Lian Shan come back to his senses, raised his hand and wiped his sweat: "It's not much different from weekdays, I'm afraid it's still less than two percent." ”

Mingyi's head buzzed, and he couldn't believe it: "Are you sure it's missing two percent?" Isn't it too much? ”

Lian Shan nodded: "I'm afraid that the lady will not have time to take care of him this day, just look at me." ”

Mingyi's heart, which had been excited for a long time, fell to the ground in an instant, cold and cold, and Lianshan carefully pulled her sleeve and brought it to the door.

With the hope of Lianshan, the sun is slanting westward, pedestrians are sparse, but the end of the street opposite is bustling, it is the entrance of Hongyunfang.

Thinking of the arrogance of the big and small paper piercing people, Ming Yi's depressed mood suddenly ignited: "What the hell are they doing?" ”

Lian Shan wrinkled his small nose: "It's not that I saw that there are new changes in our shop, and I deliberately made trouble, saying that it was the eighty birthday of Boss Qiu's grandfather, and I bought rouge and sent incense powder." Who doesn't know that his grandfather returned to heaven a few years ago, and he is not afraid of breaking blessings when he comes out to lie about his ancestors. ”

Ming Yi didn't care about other fortunes and longevity, and was most afraid of breaking his own wealth: "What does she mean by burning jade?" ”

Lian Shan glanced at the end of the street with disdain, and asked Ming Yi to go back to the shop to speak: "Now Hongyunfang is equivalent to fifty percent of the price, and her price is originally two percent lower than ours. They sold our goods for 100 yuan, but their original cost was only 30 yuan, and they did not lose money. And our cost is fifty yuan, even if we don't make money to sell, we can't match her price. ”

"Naturally, we can't afford to lose our own value, but since their cost is so low, I'm afraid we won't stop if we don't stop picking up the money." Ming Yi said, her heart had already calmed down, she didn't know how much she had experienced this kind of low-level price war, and she had never paid attention to it.

Lian Shan was obviously very confident in her, and did not ask, but said: "Now that we have redeemed enough copper coins, we can start repairing tomorrow." If it is restored to the original, it will take two months, and if you can only live and make fat powder, hire more craftsmen, and four or five days will be enough. ”

Ming Yi was inexplicably relieved about his behavior: "It's good if it's simple and can be used, you can do it freely." If the money is not enough, then take the jewelry and jade to redeem. ”

Lian Shan nodded: "Then I'll go to those skilled workers first in the next few days, and how many can be recovered." The manpower is not enough, so I will go to the helper workshop to register and find the right person as soon as possible. As for the raw materials, I will borrow a fast horse early tomorrow morning and run a little more, and by noon I should be able to visit all the florists I have always worked with, and inform them that they will send the goods in five days. ”

Ming Yi looked at his pretty face with sweat stains remaining, listened to his methodical arrangement, went through it in his mind, and sighed sincerely: "Lianshan, I don't know what to do without you." ”

Lian Shan looked at her suddenly, his amber eyes were like distant mountains on the shore of the lake, and gradually the lake water overflowed, and the water vapor was thick, thinking that it was going to overflow from his eyes, which frightened Mingyi into a panic, and he didn't know how to comfort such a good-looking man. Fortunately, the vapor disappeared for no apparent reason, just as it had come.

Lian Shan lowered his head, and after a while, he took out two pieces of money from his backpack: "Lady, you can spend these times, I don't have time to come to the shop these days, and I can rest in the Westhouse upstairs." Lian Shan knows that the lady has her own plans for the affairs of Hongyunfang, and I am afraid that it is indispensable to entertain a little bigger, if these are not enough, Chang'an large and small wine shops and teahouses can be credited, so that they can collect the accounts in the shop in the future. ”

Intend? Ming Yi really doesn't have much of a plan, it will definitely not work to make Hongyunfang proud if it goes on like this, and he must come up with a way to deal with it tonight. Lian Shan doesn't seem to be proficient in business methods, and besides, he has so many things at hand that he can't count on it. She also has a very reliable staff officer, and I don't know if there are any gold sellers in the account at this time.

The hour is not early, Ming Yi took the money, looked down, the Hu clothes on his body were dressed freely, and they had not been changed, although they were layered, but the materials were of the highest quality, they would not be stuffy, and they were most suitable for walking around at night.

Knowing that Lianshan was going back to the ruins of the dilapidated old house, Ming Yi couldn't bear it: "You live upstairs tonight, I have to go to Xinglu Courtyard." ”

Lian Shan was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Yes, I always have to send those candles over earlier, and the night is long and dreamy." I'll send my lady away. ”

Mingyi waved his hand: "It's just some candles, I'll go by myself." ”

The night in Chang'an is already late, there is a curfew, the sun is still there, and the merchants have begun to take stock and prepare to close. Ming Yi passed through the East Market, and she didn't take a look at Hongyunfang when she passed by, so as not to provoke her tongue, she didn't have the emotions to quarrel with people now.

People are getting more and more sparse, and Ming Yi feels like one of the film and television cities he has been to. The road is easy to recognize, square and square, and she doesn't want Lianshan to accompany her anymore, because she always has to face this inexplicable life by herself.

The feeling is distant and familiar. It's been a long time ago, when I was just admitted to university, went to a strange city, and met strange people. couldn't leave the home that protected her like a fortress, and pretended to be sick and secretly ran back during military training. In the era when the home was still there, the people were not there, and her parents did not have mobile phones, she dialed the landline phone at home, and the ringtone kept ringing in the door. Sit at the door and cry until you fall asleep.

She was woken up at night by her mother and a strange man. She didn't remember what they said that night, only that her mother looked guilty and cried as she spoke, and the man handed her a tissue. Roughly speaking, her loving parents have been separated for three years. In the three years she has lived in high school, how hard she has been acting, playing a father who travels all year round, playing a mother who keeps an empty house alone, and playing a family of three who goes home once a month and is happy.

She is simple, but not capricious, she has no right to blame, and there is no reason to resent. After four years of college, she never went home, and she had no home to go back to.

Now it feels like she has returned to her hometown after graduation, and the city has changed, and the stalls and shopping malls in middle school have changed. The dialects full of ears have obviously grown up with her since she was a child, but she has been very twisted when she speaks again. Her hometown can't give her a sense of subordination. After that, I walked through one city after another, and I was always so alienated and unfamiliar. is like Chang'an, who distorts space, is incompatible with her, but she has to hug each other tightly.

In the space of the 21st century, her only connection to which cities she has is Q&Z, which is the worldly success that Qiu Zhi wants. Here, her connection with this world is Shijingfang, Lianshan is the only person she can use, and Hong Yi is the only person she can trust. But the person who can use it is loyal to the Ming lady who disappeared, and the person who trusts has an unpredictable soul in his body. This kind of insecurity that can be stepped on at any time makes her scratch her heart and lungs, and she doesn't sleep soundly all night. She wanted to grab some and it wouldn't flow away without too much force, but she couldn't see it.

In the midst of his thoughts, Xinglu Courtyard was already in front of him. Familiar with the road, he knocked on the door in person and reported: "Feng Mingyi." ”

It was Ling'er who opened the door, a little surprised: "Mother Yin never told the lady to come today." ”

Mingyi was prepared and sent a box of high-quality Hu Meiren, Ling'er's face was cold, and her eyebrows were already open: "Ling'er will give the lady a private room?" ”

"No, I'm looking for Hongyi." She has to get used to it, there is only Shi Hongyi here.

"Shi Niangzi has no guests now." Ling'er owed, led Mingyi into the hall, did not go upstairs, glanced up, and retreated.

Ming Yi still remembered Hongyi's room, and when he approached, there was a muffled sound of banging inside, and it was a moment. There was a knock on the door, and the voice inside stopped abruptly: "Who?" ”

"I, Mingyi." Mingyi deliberately lowered his voice, after all, it was still a bit shameful, this was not the place where his daughter's family should come.

The door quickly opened, and she was dragged inside, nearly falling.

"You're finally here, it's so boring, it's really suffocating!" Hong Yi's clothes were half-faded, and the goose-yellow clothes were embroidered with silver piping, which was very exquisite, pouting and looking impatient.

Ming Yi looked funny, helped her put on the red shirt outside, and caused a bunch of complaints: "She...... Alas, they are all red, red and rosy...... It's not my thing. ”

Mingyi could hear her words, and said tentatively: "She, can I hear you?" ”

Hong Yi shook his head: "She hasn't come out, if she comes out, I can feel it." I just think it's a bit inauthentic to take up other people's bodies and complain about other people's aesthetics, I'm afraid you will say me. ”

Ming Yi couldn't help laughing: "If you don't have a poisonous tongue, it's not Hong Yi, I thought it was the deity who appeared?" ”

Hong Yi was stunned, with a somewhat bitter look: "I can't say, you cherish it well, I don't know if one day my soul will be devoured, how pitiful it is to leave you." ”

Ming Yi glared at her fiercely: "Spit quickly, repeat!" ”

Hong Yi changed to a non-hesitant smile: "Spit and spit, my calamity must be a hundred years old and a thousand years of disaster!" ”

After laughing, Hong Yi became sad again: "You know, I am a nocturnal animal, and I have to have supper at night, sing K, drink, dance, and party." This is good, the food at noon is tasteless, and then I want to say that I will only prepare some food for the guests who have made a decision. I'll lose my temper, just bring me a bowl of soup, you know! ”

"Okay, forget if you don't eat well. Don't give the door! What curfews to say. I'll stay in the house and put on makeup, how can I use these things easily! The clothes are all like erotic underwear! ”

The more Ming Yi saw her tantrum, the more she wanted to laugh, no wonder, she had just woken up, and she didn't realize that this was the life she was going to face in the future, so she interrupted and asked, "What were you doing in there just now?" ”

Hong Yi kicked the crested brocade shoes on his feet and flew out: "I'll try the shoes, no matter how I step on them, it's not right, I can't stand the shoes that walk without sound!" ”

Ming Yi finally couldn't help but laugh.
