Yang mute naturally understood what Mei Xiaotong meant, ahhhh

Shopkeeper Zheng and Li Jiushao had to let go.

As soon as Mei Xiaotong and Yang were dumb away, Li Jiushao's face sank, turned around and entered the dyeing workshop, and asked sharply: "Do you blush or not?" The idea and calculation in my heart can be seen clearly even by a dumb person! Do you want to be shameless? Don't have a brain? Since people dare to throw the cloth bag into the pot in front of us, and don't even mention taking it away, it proves that they are sure that their recipe will not be researched by you! A bunch of idiots! ”

"I don't care how you used to do business, follow me, it's better to put away those careful thoughts! If the next time Ben Gongzi sees you using this kind of villain method, don't blame Ben Gongzi for being polite! Hear no! Li Jiu Shao said sharply.

All the people were silent, and they didn't dare to come out.

Li Jiu Shao made a fire, snorted angrily and left, leaving a person in the dyeing workshop, you look at me, I look at you, especially a few old people who are still in the Li family, are a little confused, and look at the shopkeeper Zheng for help.

The methods of this son in the past were not righteous and bright, right? Why did you suddenly change your personality today and want to be open?

It's embarrassing for them to be their subordinates, okay? Besides, it's not a means, and in the business world, it's a mild approach, okay?

Could it be that everyone will be saints in the future?

Wu Zhang

Under the gaze of everyone, I only felt that my head hurt! When I met such an uncle who wanted to be a play, I really couldn't live this day!

Li Jiu Shaocai didn't care about the slander of his subordinates, and he snorted angrily when he got into the carriage.

One or two are blind, don't say anything else, now their relationship with Mei Xiaotong is good for you and me, and you are worse for me!

Such a deep cooperative relationship is still dropping the chain at such a critical moment.

No one is a fool, let alone Wang Niangzi, but a small cloth bag has tried a lot of humanity.

Now the auspicious cloth relies on Wang Niangzi's dyeing skills, such a talent, if you really offend for a party, it is the Li family who suffers heavy losses!

Not to mention, he was full of wanting to brush up on his favorability in front of Wang Niangzi, but it backfired, and he didn't know if it was a crime of eight characters, as long as he was in front of Wang Niangzi, why did he always behave very frustrated?

The more you want to behave well, the worse you become! It's almost a spell!

How can you not let Li Jiu Shao be depressed?

Mei Xiaotong is not in the mood to care about their mood.

took Yang Dumb to the shop, led the person to the backyard, arranged the house, and saw that Yang Dumb had a wooden basin and a few clothes in addition to the cover roll

I don't have any belongings, it's too shabby.

Fortunately, there is a well in the yard, so I don't have to worry about the draft.

Yang was a dumb person who couldn't stay idle, so he fetched water and began to clean up the house.

Mei Xiaotong simply came out, went to the grocery store to buy two sets of clothes for Yang Mu, and bought pots and pans and the like, as well as rice and flour and oil smoke or something, and let people send them to the backyard of the shop.

Just like that, when Mei Xiaotong returned to the shop, the backyard yard had been swept clean, and not a single leaf could be found.

The room where Yang lived had only two tables and a bed made of wood, all of which had been scrubbed clean.

He was sweating profusely at the moment, wearing only a single coat, and was repairing the broken stool leg in the yard.

Seeing Mei Xiaotong come in, followed by a group of people coming in one after another, putting things in the yard.

Mei Xiaotong instructed people to send pots and pans, rice, flour, oil and salt to a side room farthest from the shop, intending to use it as a stove house where a fire could be used for cooking.

Because there was no ready-made stove, I bought a small wind stove to make do with it.

There is no kang, although the weather is warm now, but looking at Yang Due's cover roll, it is hard, and it is not warm to think about.

I simply bought another futon and laid it out.

Yang looked at the things Mei Xiaotong bought for him dumbly, he had not accepted so many things for a while, he was so anxious that he screamed, gesturing and saying no.

Mei Xiaotong glared at him: "Don't worry, you will deduct this money from your salary!" ”

When Yang mute heard this, he was relieved, but his eyes were red.

Mei Xiaotong looked at Yang dumb like this, I don't know why, my heart was sour, my nose was a little blocked, and she deliberately made a mean and black-hearted boss: "I can tell you, I bought you such things, you have to work hard for me in the future!" No, no......"

Otherwise, I didn't say anything threatening for a long time.

Yang was dumb but nodded desperately, and gestured with his hands, to the effect that he must be a cow and a horse to work!

Mei Xiaotong...... If you encounter the best food and lazy food, she has more methods.

But when she encountered such a person who didn't threaten much, she took the initiative to ask to be a cow and a horse, and her black-hearted boss couldn't hold it back.

coughed twice, and then pretended to be inadvertent: "In the past few days, you will clean up the house and rest for two days." I'll find someone tomorrow to build a stove first, and then build two clay kangs. The stove house is in the farthest side room, and there is a wind stove, you can make do with it for a few days. ”

Yang Dumb hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, gestured a few times, and signaled that he would build a kang and a stove, and there was no need to invite someone.

Mei Xiaotong really didn't expect that this Yang mute was actually an all-rounder.

At that moment, he generously took out another two hundred dollars: "You can take this money to buy some mud and sand and tools or something, just do this for a few days." I'll see you in a few days! ”

Yang nodded dumbly, and when he saw that Mei Xiaotong was leaving, he hurriedly took out the wooden basin

Here, there is still the cloth bag inside, and I want to hand it to Mei Xiaotong to take away.

Mei Xiaotong thought about it, simply opened the cloth bag, and poured out the madder powder soaked inside: "Uncle Yang, dig a pit and bury these!" ”

Yang Du hurriedly found a shovel from the house, found an inconspicuous place in the corner of the yard, rolled up his sleeves and dug a deep pit for Huhuhu, threw the ball of madder powder into it, covered it with soil, tamped it, and covered it with floating soil.

It was still very conspicuous when he saw it, so he simply dug a small willow branch in the corner of the wall, inserted it in the floating soil, and poured a scoop of water on it, which looked like a newly planted tree, so he patted the soil on his hand and stood up.

Mei Xiaotong secretly paid attention in her heart, this Yang mute is not only careful in his work, but also thoughtful, if he is not dumb, maybe he can achieve a great career, but now it is a pity.

In the future, I will have to pay more attention to the fact that I will do business on my own in the future, and I will need a subordinate who is careful and careful in doing so.

With a plan in his heart, Mei Xiaotong's face was not obvious, and she was sent out by Yang dumbly.

When she got home, Mrs. Li discussed with Mei Xiaotong while cooking: "I count the days, and I see that it is about to be clear, and it is time to prepare in advance to go back to Lingshan Village." Let's go back to Lingshan Village for a few days, and then come back after your father's May Seven. ”

"It's Hua Hao, this kid, if he goes back with us, will it delay his study? The back and forth on the road also delays time! We can stay at home for a few more days, what should we do with Hua Hao's child here? No one cooks for him, he studies in the academy for a day, and when he comes back to the house at night with a cold pot and a cold stove, he can't bear to look at it......"

Mei Xiaotong counted the days, it really passed quickly, and before she knew it, she had been in the city for more than half a month.

It's Qingming soon, plus Mei's loyal Wuqi, you should go back anyway, and handle it well, otherwise you will have to settle down.

"I'll look at the things at the dyeing shop, and it will be over in two days. In the past two days, let's pack our luggage first, and then see what we need, the ones in the city are always stronger than those in our town, so we bought them together and brought them back! And bring some good things from the city to the family. Mei Xiaotong said while thinking in her heart about what to buy to go back.

"As for Brother Song, I don't know if their academy will have a holiday, wait for him to come back and ask. If he goes back to the city first, as for the problem of eating, it is really not good, let him make do with it in the academy for two days. Mei Xiaotong didn't think it was a big deal.

In the past, she was also pampered at home, but when she was studying, didn't she have to learn to cook and take care of herself?

An Huahao is not a person who does not have the ability to take care of himself, and they will only go back for ten days at most, and they will not delay anything.

"How's that going to work? The dishes in the academy are all mixed, and Hua Hao now has filial piety on his body, so he can't eat casually. You can't just nibble on cabbage every day, right? When we come back, I'm afraid that a good child will be hungry like a cabbage!

Mrs. Li shook her head.

Mei Xiaotong was speechless, "Mother, you don't need to worry so much, Brother Song is not a three-year-old child, he is such an adult, and he is in the county town, and there is silver, are you afraid that he will starve to death?" ”

"You girl, who am I doing this for?" Mrs. Li gritted her teeth in anger.

Mei Xiaotong said: "I know that my mother is for me!" But there is no reason to wronged my mother for me! Brother Song and I are juniors, and we are blessed to take my mother to the county seat, not to let my mother serve us! My mother feels sorry for me, I know, but I also feel sorry for my mother! ”

"These days, when we first came to the county, everything was unfamiliar, Brother Song wanted to study, I was busy with business, and the family was in charge of my mother inside and out. We are very unhappy to go, if we take my mother to the city, not only can not let my mother enjoy happiness, but also let my mother worry about us, how can I get by in my heart? “

"Mother, don't worry about Brother Song's dinner! Your old man is thinking about what gifts to bring back for his family. This time I went back to live for more than ten days, and you have to talk to those people in the village about the county seat. ”

Mrs. Li smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face stretched out: "Okay!" Mother listens to you! Mother doesn't care, mother will follow you to enjoy happiness! Ming'er will go shopping, I have to buy some things that we don't have in the countryside, and I have to open their eyes when I go back! Hmph"

Seeing that Mrs. Li's attention was attracted by the return of Yijin to her hometown, Mei Xiaotong was relieved.

decided to urge the Yan Zhongren tomorrow, when will the honest maid be there.

When An Huahao came back, the three of them were eating while discussing the matter of returning to Lingshan Village during the Qingming Festival.

The academy has been notified that the Qingming Festival is a major event, and it happens to be the end of the month, and it can be held for five days together with the month-end holiday.

As soon as the news came out, the students of the academy cheered.

Nearby students, those near the state and county, can rush back to worship their ancestors in five days and come back.

Those students who are farther away are not idle, as soon as they learn the news, they have already made an appointment to go to the nearby mountains for a walk, a walk in the temple, and a walk.

Speaking of stepping into the green, Mei Xiaotong remembered something: "Isn't my mother-in-law in the temple?" Let's go to sweep the grave of my mother-in-law a day in advance, and then go back to Lingshan Village, Brother Song, what do you think? ”

An Huahao nodded, this matter is settled.

On the second day, Mei Xiaotong sent Mrs. Li to the street, and when she arrived at the dyeing workshop, she was already a tree tall on the day.

As soon as I entered the dyeing workshop, I felt that the atmosphere was different, and everyone looked at Mei Xiaotong's eyes, and they were in awe, admiration, and envy.

Shopkeeper Zheng rubbed his hands and greeted him, his face was full of joy: "Big niece, it's really done!" It really happened! ”

Mei Xiaotong was very calm: "The fabric has been dried?" ”

Shopkeeper Zheng nodded.

"The fabric has been dried, and it has just been rinsed two or three times in the water, and sure enough, it does not fade. You come here

See! ”

Saying that, he took Mei Xiaotong to the rinse pool, and the first pool of clear water turned into a light red, which is the floating color on the fabric, and it is gone after rinsing it once.

The second pool of water next to it was only a faint red.

In the third pool of water, no color can be seen anymore.

The rinsed fabric has been scooped up and hung on bamboo poles, and the very obvious red color shines in the sun, dazzling.

Mei Xiaotong stepped forward to check the fabric, and reached out to rub it twice, seeing that her hands were not dyed, and then she was relieved.

Nodding: "No problem!" ”

After hearing Mei Xiaotong's personal affirmation, everyone cheered completely.

Li Jiushao couldn't hide his excitement, staring at Mei Xiaotong tightly, everyone in the dyeing workshop was there, but he could only see one person in his eyes.

Mei Xiaotong was also very happy, since this is no problem, the ten thousand taels are getting closer and closer.

Everyone saw this success and had confidence.

The official start is to pour the paint from the pot into a large pool along with the water.

Underneath the pool, there is a huge stove, and two people are responsible for heating the water in the pool.

Then the fabric is officially put down.

As soon as Mei Xiaotong expected this time in the morning, she carried a large package of cloth bags, measured the depth and length, and counted the cloth bags into the pool.

As long as the pool water is not changed, the fabric that is re-boiled can be changed.

Looking at the pieces of fabric one by one put into the cooking, estimating that the materials in the fabric bag had been boiled and completely melted into the water, Mei Xiaotong was about to leave.

After walking for two steps, he was stopped by Li Jiushao: "Don't go first, now that the fabric has been successfully tested, I think as long as you follow the steps of Wang Niangzi, there will be no mistakes." Everyone is a happy person, I believe in Wang Niangzi, and I will pay the money in one lump sum today. What does Mrs. Wang think? ”

Mei Xiaotong was stunned, she didn't expect that Li Jiushao would take the initiative to make a payment in advance? If you can get the money in advance, why not?

Although she tried to be reserved at the moment, the brilliance in her eyes and the curvature that the corners of her mouth could not suppress revealed the joy of her mood.

I have to say two polite sentences: "That's so embarrassing!" Let's do what is agreed in the deed! ”

Li Jiushao was happy in his heart, and he only felt that this Wang Niangzi was a wonderful person, and even this person who was originally fascinated by wealth and duplicitous was so cute that people wanted to pile up all the silver in front of her and make her happy.

Anyway, I don't have much else at home, just a lot of silver!

Fortunately, he still had reason, and he barely suppressed his ridiculous thoughts, and he also curled the corners of his mouth, and said in a very good mood: "It's okay, if you want to come, Wang Niangzi won't abscond with the money!" ”

Mei Xiaotong was stunned for a moment, remembering that she was going back to Lingshan Village in two days, if something went wrong in the middle, she would really be regarded as someone else

Running away with money is wronged.

Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Then forget it!" I have to go back to the countryside to worship my ancestors in the next two days, so this money is still waiting for me to come back! ”

In business, reputation is the most important thing!

Li Jiu Shao was stunned for a moment, and his original good mood was immediately covered with a layer of dust, so he couldn't see her for several days?

"How many days does it take for Mrs. Wang to return to her hometown to worship her ancestors? In case something happens."

Mei Xiaotong saw that Li Jiushao's face sank, and he didn't seem to be very happy, so he had to explain: "My shopkeeper Zheng knows, if there is anything, bring a letter, and I will naturally come back to solve it." But as long as you follow the steps I said and don't make your own opinions, nothing will go wrong! ”

She is still very confident in this.

Shopkeeper Zheng nodded hurriedly: "The eldest niece is right, it will be Qingming in two days, especially this year, Brother Wang will go, this is not past five or seven, when the daughter-in-law and son-in-law have to go back and do a good job!" ”

This is speaking for Mei Xiaotong.

Li Jiushao reluctantly said: "Since this is the case, then pay half of the deposit first, and pay the rest when you come back, make sure that the delivery is correct." ”

Mei Xiaotong was surprised to see that Li Jiushao was so good at talking.

After thanking Li Jiushao, he agreed to send Yang mute to supervise one or two in the dyeing workshop for him every day, and then returned home with a pile of thick silver tickets.

Mrs. Li had already bought a lot of things to worship her ancestors, as well as all kinds of gifts and gadgets for the Mei family, which were piled up in the house.

The mother and daughter cleaned up for a long time before they reluctantly packed up.

Early the next morning, Evergreen College was on holiday, and it coincided with the recent warm spring days, with trees sprouting and flowers waiting to bloom.

In particular, the peach blossoms and pear blossoms are hidden in the mountains, occasionally revealing a piece of white or red, which is extraordinarily beautiful.

The students in the city, looking at this beautiful spring, all agreed to go outside the city.

An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong took the offerings out of the city, and along the way, they saw many students, in groups of three or five, walking slowly, chanting poems and pairs, so leisurely and happy.

There are more big girls and little daughters-in-law, also in groups, following their families out, one by one finally took off their winter clothes, put on fresh colors, light spring clothes, revealing their slender figures.
