Chapter 31: Partners
Before Chi Yue could react, seeing that the dagger touched his skin, he was about to die in the next moment, but Mo Erniang stumbled and was knocked out by something!
The bronze pressed Mo Erniang's body, and it fixed her to death, and her grinning appearance scared her into fainting on the spot.
The silhouette ran over and ordered someone to escort the two of them.
Chi Yue breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Bronze, and kissed it hard, "Bronze, thank you!" ”
Bronze let out a low roar, as if coquettish.
Zhou and Chi Xin ran over and saw that Chi Yue was not injured, so they were relieved.
No one noticed that there was a red scar on Mo Erniang's wrist. It was because the stone shot extremely quickly, like a sharp blade.
When the bronze pounced, Mo Erniang already felt a sharp pain, and let go of the hand that was clenching the dagger.
The silhouette glanced at Gu Han, it was the first time he saw his master so worried about a person, and he couldn't help but take the first step.
This time, everyone only felt that Chi Yue was domineering, and they were afraid of her.
"Boss Chi, don't worry, I will never do this kind of bad business and humiliate myself." Aunt Liu patted her chest and reassured.
"Me too!"
“……”
Chi Yue nodded in satisfaction.
In Gu Han's eyes, he clearly saw a majestic female general, who was full of confidence, and probably even a real general was ashamed of himself.
"Bronze, a woman like you." When parting, Gu Han said to Chi Yue.
Chi Yue was reluctantly saying goodbye to Bronze, and when she heard this, she was stunned. What does he mean by that?
"Bronze, I've given it to you."
When Gu Han said this, the silhouettes on the side were stunned, and he looked at his master in disbelief.
Master, is this crazy? This was given to him by the emperor, his favorite heart!
Is it worth it to give this country girl?
Chi Yue also knew the preciousness of bronze, but she felt that Gu Han was too polite to her, but she couldn't bear to be separated from bronze.
After a long silence, she raised her eyes to him and asked tentatively, "Why are you so good to me?" ”
Gu Han was slightly stunned, hesitated for a while, and then said: "You sold me the secret recipe, made me a lot of money, and provided me with delicious food, so that my taste buds are comfortable, and it is better for you, it can be regarded as a courtesy, right?" ”
Although he felt that his kindness to him was disproportionate to his kindness to himself, Chi Yue still believed him.
"You're a friend, I've made it." Chi Yue patted her chest, her eyes full of trust.
Gu Han hooked his lips, "Since they are friends, they can come to my house another day." ”
After a pause, he continued: "In addition, I have also opened two workshops in the county, and I can invite you to visit and visit each other when the time comes, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and grow together, I wonder if you are interested?" ”
At this time, Gu Han unceremoniously called her "Yue'er", and Chi Yue only nodded excitedly when he really regarded him as a friend: "Naturally willing." But when the time comes, don't come to your house, you want me to cook food and eat with you. ”
This playful remark made Gu Han laugh, and it also made the air in the courtyard a lot easier.
From this day on, Chi Yue will carry bronze with her wherever she goes, and the bronze is just like her shadow, and she has become more and more intimate, as if she is the real master.
is used to getting along, and everyone sees that bronze is extremely humane and well-behaved, so they are not so afraid of it
Gu Han came this time and reached a deal with Chi Yue.
He wanted to buy the brown sugar boiled by the Chiyue workshop and take it to the capital to trade.
The price of the capital is high, and brown sugar is a rare thing, once the brown sugar is there, the value will naturally rise, and it will be more than one or two times higher. If you enter the palace and gain fame, the profits you will get at that time are unimaginable.
Chi Yue sighed that Gu Han could actually come up with this trick, and in addition to admiration, where was the reason not to nod his head?
For Gu Han's generosity and selflessness, she was even more moved.
From then on, she only regarded him as a business partner, not a competitor.
Naturally, from now on, he is also her confidant.
On this day, after finishing the work on the ground, Chi Yue returned home, but saw the village chief waiting for him in the hall.
Chi Yue smiled: "How can Uncle Village Chief have the time to come to us?" I guess there's something important, right? ”
The village chief laughed and said politely: "I heard that your little girl has opened a sugar workshop, and I have long wanted to come to observe and observe. Not to mention, it's really like that, it's even more neat than the workshop outside! Girl, well done! ”
While pouring him tea, Zhou said with a smile: "Village Chief, don't praise her anymore, now she is about to be held to the sky, but I don't know what the ground is like." ”
The village chief laughed, "You have raised a good girl, look at my daughter, she is far worse than your daughter!" ”
Chi Yue saw that next to the village chief, there was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl's house, dressed up in a fancy way, it was the village chief's daughter, the fat girl.
The fat girl said that she was not fat, but she was only called this because she was slightly fatter when she was young.
The person who knows how to dress up in the village is her, with a head full of jewels and jade, and her clothes are even higher than the girls in the village. The plump body was deliberately modified by her, showing a graceful and luxurious.
Naturally, this is in the eyes of the girls in the village, and in the eyes of the young ladies in the county, she can't even compare to their maids.
In Chi Yue's eyes, she just has a face with red lips and white teeth, and she is slightly more beautiful than others.
And this is pretty, slightly frivolous.
Chi Xin couldn't stop secretly looking at her on the side, her eyes full of appreciation.
"This is the village chief's daughter?" Chi Yue politely said, "Hello sister, today is the first time you come to the door, and you can come to play in the future." ”
The fat girl still had an indifferent expression on her face, and she didn't even give Chi Yue a response.
"Fat girl, didn't you hear Chi Yue talking to you?" The village chief was slightly dissatisfied.
The fat girl lazily responded, "En." And there was no more follow-up.
Chi Yue gave her one last cold look, and went to talk to the village chief again.
After drinking tea for a while, the village chief talked about the topic, "I see that your workshop is gradually on the right track, and there may be a place to employ people, isn't it?" ”
Chi Yue nodded, "Exactly, it's just that not everyone can cope with these jobs, and women who have the strength and willingness to endure hardships can do it." ”
The village chief laughed, "That's what you asked at the beginning, who doesn't know that now that you have a new machine here, you don't have to suffer so much to be able to press out sugarcane juice?" And half of your workers are only in charge of farming, and many of you do the work, including my daughter. Isn't it, fat girl? ”
Chi Yue finally understood their intentions, and dared to love the village chief to stuff his daughter to himself?
"Dad, I won't go to the ground, do you want to exhaust your daughter to death?" The fat girl stomped her feet reluctantly, "I only have to do the work of catching sugarcane juice, and the work of boiling sugar, and the rest, my daughter doesn't do anything!" ”
The commanding appearance seemed as if Chi Yue had promised her to stay and do as she did.
"Look, look, this girl makes her mother!" The village chief smiled awkwardly, "I can't go out all day, my son and daughter just let her mother discipline me, I can't imagine that I have become such a virtuous person!" ”
"Dad, what's wrong with my daughter, and why did my mother discipline us inappropriately? You can make it clear! The fat girl raised her eyebrows and reluctantly attacked.
The village chief snorted coldly, "I asked you to come here to learn the craft, but you learned from Chi Yue to bear hardships and stand hard work, shrewd and capable, don't lie down at home all day long and eat white food!" ”
"Where am I not as good as her?" The fat girl looked at Chi Yue unwillingly, "Dad, you see that she can't dress up in a rustic way, and so does her sister, where is I beautiful!" ”
Chi Xin was mentioned by the fat girl, only to feel ashamed and lowered her head.
"Hmph, can you eat it as a meal?" The village chief's voice was louder, "You just stay here, let Chi Yue give you good guidance and know what is the most important thing as a woman!" ”
When the fat girl saw her father's seizure, she didn't dare to squeak anymore, but when she looked at Chi Yue, her eyes were full of resentment that wanted to eat her blood.
Seeing that there was another trouble, Chi Yue hurriedly euphemistically said, "Uncle Village Chief, you are laughing, where do I dare to point out the fat girl?" Sister Fat is so beautiful, smart and smart, she will definitely marry a good man in the future and live a good life, no matter how capable and shrewd we are, in the end we will only work hard for the life of coolies, which is not as good as the life of the fat girl! ”
With these words, the fat girl's eyebrows instantly relaxed, and the village chief's complexion was much ruddy.
"Chi Yue, you are getting better and better at talking, but if you say that she is good, I also think that she is far from half a point behind you." The village chief smiled, "I have made up my mind to let her hone and temper here, so that she can cultivate half of your good, for the sake of your uncle's face, don't shirk it!" ”
Chi Yue complained heartily, how can she be good, is she obliged to change those bad things? What kind of heresy is this?
The village chief seems to be polite, but in fact he is very domineering!
Eventually, she had to leave the fat girl behind.
"Teach her until she is obedient!" Before leaving, the village chief did not forget to instruct Chi Yue.
But the more he was so outspoken, the stronger the fat girl's hatred for Chi Yue became.
Seeing off the village chief, Chi Yue sighed, turned to the fat girl and said, "Fat girl, you go to the workshop with me, as you said, go and do the juice work." ”
The fat girl didn't squeak and followed her to the workshop.
Seeing the village chief's daughter coming, the workers raised their eyes to say hello, "The fat girl is here?" The village chief is willing to let you, a precious girl, come out to do things, it's really unexpected! ”
"Fat girl, you are at the age of getting married, why did the village chief let you earn this hard-earned money again? In the future, you will be a young grandmother, and your hands will be worn out! ”
"Even so, I don't know what the village chief thinks."
“……”
Everyone was talking about it, and the fat girl said lazily: "Didn't my father just want me to exercise, and hope that I would also learn the skills of doing business?" In the future, if you enter a wealthy family, you may not be able to take over the management of a shop, and if you are interested in contacting here, you may be able to come in handy at that time. ”
Everyone nodded yes.
Chi Yue didn't care who she was, she directly arranged for her, not only to catch the juice, but also to lift the bucket aside for the final clarification of the juice.
It looks like a brisk job, but it takes some effort on your hands. After not doing it for a while, the fat girl began to cry out that she was tired.
"Boss Chi, this is tired of life, let me rest?"
