"Jokes? Who laughed at him? When our business is up and running, and we have money, who do you think will laugh at? Besides, otherwise, the girl is in charge, and our family is like this now, so we won't be laughed at? Let me tell you, there are more jokes? Over the years, there has been the second brute, our family has never suffered a loss in the village, and has offended many people, and now the family foundation has been stolen by the second brute, how many people laugh at our family in the back, don't you know? Zhou's slut and the boss have a quarrel, you didn't see it in the house, outside the courtyard wall, I don't know how many ears are standing up to listen to our family's jokes! Let me tell you, within a day, the whole village will know about the Zhou family coming back to separate from the boss. ”

"If you're really afraid of people's jokes, then our family shouldn't go out, if you go out, you will be pointed at, your face is so thin, you can hang yourself at home with a rope! We're all so old, can't we see through it? If our family loses like this and can't get up, it's a joke for a lifetime! Now that I have the opportunity to get up, I will have money in the future, who dares to laugh at our family, but I am afraid that it will be too late for jealousy? Could it be that for the sake of a few sour words from others, it will be a good life? ”

"If you can't figure it out, think about it for a few more days! Anyway, if you want to call my daughter and guard against my daughter, I'm not done with you! You touch your conscience, the money you use for medical treatment, but it is all earned by your daughter, and you have to pick and choose when you use your daughter's money, are you worthy of being a father? Mrs. Li dropped these words and went out.

Mei Zhongzhong lay quietly on the kang, listening to the rare laughter in the courtyard outside, it seemed that the whole family had a backbone again, and everyone had a head again.

A few days ago, it was quiet and uncomfortable, but now there is so much vitality and popularity.

That's it, that's it! Mei Zhongzhong closed her eyes.

Mei Zhongzhong didn't object anymore, and the matter was completely settled.

To make this business of collecting mountain goods, there is a lot of preparatory work.

Mei Xiaotong called the whole family together, discussed it, and assigned work.

At present, the most important thing is to have a warehouse first, otherwise where to put the mountain goods after receiving them?

This is no problem, Mrs. Li pointed to the locked wing, "It was prepared for the second beast, and now we don't have the second beast in our house, this house is just vacated as a warehouse, and it is in our house, so rest assured." ”

Warehouse problem solved.

And then there's the problem of the source of goods, even if you want to collect it, you have to spread the news, right? Gotta let people know?

"It's simple, I'll go to the entrance of the village tomorrow, talk to those old ladies, and the whole village will know at night! In a few nearby villages, the fourth child and Tianlong just go to shout and shout, now it's summer anyway, take advantage of this time, let's clean the wing room first, put up a few shelves, so as not to be insects, and avoid dampness and mold...... "Mrs. Li has been thinking about this matter all day long since she announced that she wants to do business, and she has to think of what her daughter thinks, and what she doesn't think of, she also thinks."

I have to think of it for my daughter.

Mei Xiaotong glanced at Mrs. Li gratefully, she really didn't think of these details for the time being, she now mainly considers the problem of manpower arrangement and the acquisition process.

"Who in our family understands the quality of mountain goods? You can't always take other people's things, no matter how good or bad a price is, right? "Mei Xiaotong herself doesn't understand

When she first conceived of this business, it was too simple, but now that she really wants to implement it, she finds that there are too many things to consider.

Fortunately, there is Mrs. Li, who is old and sophisticated, and knows a little bit about everything, which can help a lot.

At this time, Mrs. Li hadn't spoken, but Mei Changgui said angrily, "This, in fact, the eldest brother is the best!" It's just a pity—"

"Big brother?" Mei Xiaotong was a little surprised.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Li didn't object, and snorted coldly, "If your eldest brother is not good, he won't be called to the mountains by that slut of the Zhou family......"

Mei Xiaotong really didn't have an impression of this, and looked at Mei Changgui.

Mei Changgui explained, "The eldest brother was also a famous Wang Yishou in our village back then, and as soon as he touched it and smelled it, he could know the quality of the mountain goods, whether it was this year or the old year." ”

"Big brother still has this hand? Why don't I know? "Mei Xiaotong really doesn't know, it turns out that Mei Xiaoque, who she always thought could only farm, still has this skill?

"Your grandfather did this in the first place, and it turned out that he was also a buddy for the mountain goods dealer, and he practiced the skills of one hand, the eyes, the hands and the nose, and your grandfather who wanted to fool him with the inferior goods never succeeded. It's a pity that later, your grandfather's owner didn't know who he offended, and all his belongings were filled in, and he couldn't get out. Your grandfather was clever, and he didn't see the momentum right, so he returned to Lingshan Village with a few dollars he had saved back then. Later, someone asked your grandfather to go out of the mountain, but your grandfather didn't agree. Later, your eldest brother was born early, and your grandfather took your eldest brother when he was idle, and also passed on this ability to your eldest brother. It's just that he's worried that your eldest brother is honest, and he's afraid that he will be pushed out by the owner to be a substitute for the dead, and he won't let your eldest brother find a way out......" Mrs. Li saw her daughter's confused face and explained, this is indeed the old girl's don't know, she was born late, and she didn't know a lot of things at the beginning.

Later, he was detained by himself and didn't get close to his sons, so he naturally didn't know that the boss still had this hand.

It's just that I didn't expect that I thought that the boss's craft was also learned in vain, and now it can come in handy, it seems that God still takes care of Lao Mei's family.

But when I think of the boss's current body, even if he has this skill, he is also blind.

"Then why didn't Dad learn a little bit from him?" Mei Xiaotong looked at Mei Zhongzhong on the side, this is a family craft, why don't you learn it? Instead to learn carpentering?

"Your father is the most impatient with this. After your grandfather came back, he wanted to teach him, but he didn't care about it, and your grandfather taught him a few times, but your father didn't open that trick, but your grandfather was angry. Fortunately, I gave birth to the eldest later, and your grandfather let your father go! You say you're an old man

Son, how nice it would have been if I had learned this craft from my father? "Mrs. Li regrets it when she thinks about it, she knew that today, she had to force what she said at the beginning

If you don't learn from your home, you can learn it yourself?

Mei Xiaotong looked at Mei Zhongzhong's appearance that she couldn't even speak now, and she couldn't use it if she learned it.

"Why don't you let Tianlong and Tianhu follow the old university?" Mrs. Li suggested that the boss can't count on it, so he can count on the two grandsons, and he thinks the boss won't hide his secrets.

Mei Xiaoque lowered her eyes, her teeth clenched tightly, she didn't know what it was like in her heart, if she was healthy at the moment, how good it would be!

Mei Xiaotong pondered for a while, "Big brother, you teach Tianlong and Tianhu first, this technique must be passed on, as long as our Mei family relies on this big black mountain to eat, this technique is a golden rice bowl!" Don't be sad, you leg, let's think of a way, there is no endless road! ”

After saying this, Tianlong and Tianhu both had red eyes, and what they were most afraid of was that the situation at home was not good now, and they would give up treating their father.

Now, my aunt does not forget them when she does business, and she also says in person, saying that she will find another way, no matter whether her father's leg can be cured in the future, but they remember this heart.

Mei Xiaoque opened her eyes, and her eyes, which had been lifeless since she separated from Zhou, also had a light at this moment, "Little sister, don't worry!" Brother can still help you, and it can be useful, brother is happy! Not only the dragons and tigers, but also the children in the family, I teach! This kind of gatekeeping thing has to be relieved by your own family! As long as you can trust the eldest brother, even if the eldest brother is desperate, he will bring you out the dragons! ”

Good words are warm in three winters, and bad words are hurtful and cold in June.

Mei Xiaoque was betrayed by the Zhou family, and his heart was numbed by regret, and he was excited to hear Mei Xiaotong's affirmation and need at this moment, and he was more excited than he promised to find a way to treat his leg.

He thought he was a waste, and from now on he was dragged down by his family, and he didn't dare to die, otherwise what would a few children do?

Stay up day by day, from dawn to dark.

I suffer from regret every day.

He has already accepted his fate, and his future life will go on like this, and when he sees Tianlong and them become a family, he will be able to be free.

But Xiaomei's words are like a heart booster for him, as long as he can teach the next generation in the family, he can be regarded as not using the money in vain, not dragging the family's hind legs, and can still help the family a little!

For a seven-foot man, he is already content to be able to be useful without dragging down his family.

Mei Xiaotong knew that what Mei Xiaoque needed at the moment was encouragement, so she nodded busily, "The most important thing in our business is quality, fortunately, there is a big brother, otherwise if we receive the defective goods and come back, how can we explain to the big boss?" Isn't this business impossible? Big brother, you have to teach the children in the family well, the business may fail, but

As long as the children have learned this craft, they will definitely not starve to death in the future! ”

Mei Xiaoque nodded again and again, "Little sister, don't worry!" I'm sure I'll teach them well! ”

Tianlong, Tianhu, Tianbao, and Xiaoque on the side, their three sisters and brothers only felt cold on their backs, and they didn't know their tragic future.

Seeing that Mei Xiaoque had a head running again and came back to life, Mei Xiaotong put her mind at ease, and it seemed that she had to find a proper excuse to let Mei Xiaoque take the muscles and bones.

Mei Zhongzhong was on the kang, looking at the boss who had been languishing for a long time, but after listening to the old girl's words, she had a fresh breath, and her heart was relieved, and she was finally completely relieved.

This is a matter of the quality of the mountain goods, and the rest are small things, such as drying or something, and Wen rarely stood up and took the initiative to ask for help.

She has always been careful, and this matter was handed over to her, Mei Xiaotong was also relieved, so she naturally agreed.

Wen's face turned red with excitement, and finally, in the Mei family, she also had a down-to-earth feeling, and in the future, they would no longer have to feel inferior to each other, and they would be able to do their part for the family and support themselves.

The business has been arranged, and all that remains is to wait for the news to spread and try to receive the goods.

After arranging this stall, the people of the Mei family were busy.

Mei Xiaotong had time to turn over the dye recipe, and while she was still making preparations in the past few days, she had to take the time to do the task.

On the square, the top one is an indigo dye square, the color indigo is the most common in this time and space, but the blue is not deep enough, and the color is either gray or easy to fade.

But this color is the largest in this time and space, and civilians can wear the most colors, mainly blue, because this dye is the most common.

However, the chroma is saturated and dyed with an unfading blue, which is very rare.

The raw material of this indigo is a plant called indigo, which is suitable for growing in most places, and it is also a Chinese herbal medicine, which matures in May and June, and the leaves turn green and can be picked.

After picking, the indigo sprouts again, and after three months, it can be picked again.

It's the end of June, and it's just in time, otherwise we'll have to wait three months.

The recipe is very intimate, and there is an illustrated book of knotweed, Mei Xiaotong took a look, the leaves are ovate, the purple-red stems, and the flowers are light red.

Silently keep it in mind, and then prepare to go up the mountain.

At this time, I want to come to the mountain, and I can just take a look, and there are other dye plants on the recipe.

With a basket on her back, dry food and water, and a sickle, Mei Xiaotong planned to go up the mountain.

Fortunately, Mrs. Li went to the entrance of the village early in the morning to promote her business, and Tianlong and Mei Changgui also went to the next village to declare.

Mei Xiaoque is now full of enthusiasm and gathers the children at home early in the morning

Get up, under the jujube tree, and start teaching.

Mei Zhongzhong was also under the recliner of the jujube tree, listening, and occasionally interjecting two sentences vaguely.

Little beans, stand and listen honestly.

Even the heavenly leopard who is skinned has become much more sensible these days, and he doesn't dare to move, the most important thing is that as long as he wants to move, his father and his brother's knife-like eyes will sweep over.
