Shopkeeper Zheng is a careful person, in a place like Shiqiao Town, the silver tickets of one hundred taels are already a large amount, and no matter how big they are, it is not suitable, so they are all prepared for one hundred taels and fifty taels, and they are easy to exchange.

Mei Xiaotong counted the silver tickets, and sure enough, it was the amount that Shopkeeper Zheng said, nodded, and took out a hundred taels and a fifty taels from it and pushed it to Shopkeeper Zheng: "This is the bonus that was prepaid last time." ”

Shopkeeper Zheng was stunned for a moment, and took it with a smile without hesitation.

The shopkeeper Zheng, who handed over all the dividends, was shocked and relaxed, and only then did he have the heart to drink tea.

Mei Xiaotong pondered for a while before speaking: "Speaking of this, I also have one thing to discuss with Shopkeeper Zheng, but I collect mountain goods at home and build a house, so I didn't care about it for a while. ”

Shopkeeper Zheng suddenly pricked up his ears: "What's the matter?" But the business thing? ”

Mei Xiaotong nodded, "Shopkeeper Zheng still remember the boss Tian who spent money to hire someone to deceive my third brother and came to my house to steal the recipe?" ”

Shopkeeper Zheng's expression froze, but he immediately returned to his senses: "But the boss of the rich dyeing workshop? "How could he not know? At the beginning, someone coveted this dye recipe, and he also reported it to the master's family, and the news given by the master's family was that a nobleman in the capital had taken a fancy to it, and the master's family was not easy to make.

This kind of thing can coax people like the Mei family girl who don't know the situation, but the shopkeeper Zheng has also been mixed in the capital, and he also knows the doorway inside, where is it difficult to make a move?

At that time, the main family had already seen the huge potential behind the dyeing formula provided by Mei Xiaotong, and felt that the twenty-eighty share signed with Mei Xiaotong was too much, so he wanted to take the opportunity of coveting the prescription, or let Mei Xiaotong take the initiative to sell the prescription to the main family, spend a sum of money directly, and then sell it all over.

If you don't need to make money in the later stage, you have to give Mei Xiaotong 20%.

So this excuse was used.

Unexpectedly, Mei Xiaotong, this girl is also a smart person, and she used the widow to fish out Boss Tian. Boss Tian thought that he had obtained the recipe, dyed a large amount of cloth, and found the noble man he attached to him to be courteous, but was driven out by the nobleman, and they naturally knew about it.

Where can I hide this kind of thing, I know that Boss Tian was countercalculated by Mei Xiaotong and got a fake formula.

After the news spread, those who were still coveting the recipe immediately disappeared.

Joke, no one wants to be the second Tian boss. No one can guarantee that what they can do is the real way!

And those who have the ability, even if they can use the lives of the Mei family to force Mei Xiaotong to hand over the real recipe, they dare not guarantee that this Mei Xiaotong can deploy a fake formula that Boss Tian can fool the past, it is really urgent, will he treat himself like this?

Can such a scheming woman ensure that she will be able to handle it for a lifetime?

Besides, if you really do this, you will lose your identity and pass it on

It's not good to go out, and it's still a trick.

What's more, the interests of this dye party have not yet reached the point where they can impress those nobles.

People who don't have enough strength don't dare to gamble with their net worth, and Boss Tian is a lesson from the past.

People with sufficient strength have not yet benefited from the point where they can make a move.

In this way, Mei Xiaotong is safe.

Even his own master's family, when he saw the accounts at the end of the year, changed his attitude, and even had plans to sacrifice his own concubine young master.

Even Shopkeeper Zheng later remembered the methods and calculations behind that period of time, and he couldn't help sweating behind his back.

I don't know if Mei Xiaotong is lucky, or what, she is still safe and stable.

Not to mention anything else, even if it's luck, this luck is also a kind of strength, and making friends with this kind of lucky person will do no harm to yourself.

Even if the master doesn't talk about encircling Mei Xiaotong, the shopkeeper Zheng will maintain a good relationship with Mei Xiaotong.

But what did Mei Xiaotong do when he mentioned this Boss Tian at this time? Could it be that something was discovered? Shouldn't you know that the main family also intervened in it at the beginning?

Shopkeeper Zheng immediately became vigilant, thinking in his heart how to explain, or how many benefits to give, in order to ensure Mei Xiaotong's cooperation with him.

Mei Xiaotong didn't know that Shopkeeper Zheng had so many thoughts in his heart, and his fingers tapped twice rhythmically on the box before he said: "What Boss Natian took away was a fake recipe, because of this, he couldn't do business anymore, so he wanted to sell the rich dyeing workshop and the fabric shop, and go back ......to his hometown."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zheng vaguely understood.

"Because he was in a hurry to sell it, and the price was low, I scraped together some money and made his name rich

The dyeing shop and the cloth shop bought it, as well as the batch of dyed cloth in his storehouse. Speaking of this, Mei Xiaotong smiled embarrassedly.

Shopkeeper Zheng kept a smile on his face, and complained in his heart: "My little aunt, you have done such a big thing, what are you embarrassed about?" ”

At this time, the shopkeeper Zheng maintained the good quality of a restaurant shopkeeper and kept a smile at all times: "Then Miss Wang, what do you mean?" ”

Do you want to sell the Fugui Dyeing Workshop to the Jixiang Dyeing Workshop, or do you want to do something?

Mei Xiaotong smiled slightly: "I didn't know that our cloth was selling so well, so I didn't think about it, but after reading the account book today, I had an idea——"

The shopkeeper Zheng said very much: "Miss Wang, you can just say." ”

"I think so, our cloth is selling so well, it must be sold elsewhere, only this dye shop in the town is definitely not enough, and the geographical location of the town is not good, the road to Jing County is inconvenient, and it is a waste of manpower and time to transport goods out. Not to mention, it will be sold further away in the future, which wastes too much cost on the road and is not cost-effective. ”

"We don't want to make a name, the real national well-known, the way to go, must be the price

Cost-effective and good quality. When everyone needs to buy fabrics, the first thing is to think of buying our auspicious fabrics. In order to reduce costs, it is definitely necessary to increase production, and the dyeing mill in the town, even if it is expanded several times, is estimated to be insufficient. ”

"Therefore, I thought, otherwise, in various large counties, or prefecture cities, provincial capitals, increase the number of dyeing workshops, and recruit more dye masters......"

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper Zheng's eyes lit up, he has been in charge of the dyeing workshop, and naturally knows more intuitively that his own cloth is in short supply, even if the dyeing masters dye it day and night, it will not be supplied.

At that time, he had the idea of increasing the dyeing workshop in his heart, but he didn't think as far as Mei Xiaotong, because he had a concern, whether Mei Xiaotong would agree, the more people knew, the greater the chance that her recipe would be leaked.

Shopkeeper Zheng expressed his concerns, Mei Xiaotong smiled: "What's this, these recipes in my hand, the color is secondary, the most important thing is the dyed cloth, the color is high, no matter how you rinse it, it will not fade, this is the most important." If there are really auspicious dyeing workshops all over the country, then I only need to mix the medicine bags that can fix the color, distribute them to various places, and configure them according to the proportion, and there will be no problem. ”

Shopkeeper Zheng was overjoyed, if this problem was solved, he would naturally dare to let go of his hands and feet.

At the moment, the heart is surging, if nothing else, it can really open the auspicious dyeing workshop and cloth all over the country, and the auspicious cloth is famous all over the world.

However, Shopkeeper Zheng is also a character who has experienced strong winds and waves, and he can barely hold it at the moment: "Miss Wang's idea is exactly what I want, I will send a letter to the master's family when I go back today, and I think the master's family will also agree very much." If there are no accidents, you can do it in the spring of next year. ”

Mei Xiaotong secretly said in her heart, the master will definitely agree, this is an opportunity to make a lot of money, let it go of a fool.

Only then did he slowly express his thoughts: "I thought, the rich dyeing workshop and fabric shop I bought, the location is not bad, it is in Jing County, the transportation is also convenient, and the facilities are complete. Don't worry about finding the right master......"

Shopkeeper Zheng didn't understand at the moment, and immediately said: "The location of this rich dyeing workshop and fabric shop is really good, and this rich dyeing workshop was also famous in Jing County. Since the auspicious dyeing workshop is going to expand, naturally it can't be cowered in this town, and I am planning to move the dyeing workshop to Jingxian County after the year, which saves me a lot of trouble and time. Why don't you resell this dyeing workshop and fabric shop to me? ”

Mei Xiaotong likes to deal with such happy people: "The dyeing workshop can be resold, but the fabric shop can only be rented to Zheng's shopkeeper." Don't laugh at the shopkeeper Zheng, our Zhuang family has always been looking for food in the soil and relying on the sky to eat. The shop in the county is rare, I finally bought one, and I was a little reluctant to sell it, so I rented it out, and I had a little income every year, and my heart was more stable. ”

"Besides, Shopkeeper Zheng also knows that my family is now in the mountain goods business, and he may want to open his own shop in the future, so he ......"

Of course, the shopkeeper Zheng has no opinion, the dyeing workshop is the most important, where can I not buy the fabric shop?

"Where does Miss Wang say, this is a safe idea, just my family, I have some savings in my hand, why don't I also buy a few shops, buy some fields and Zhuangzi, so that it can be practical." Shopkeeper Zheng is telling the truth.

Nowadays, as long as people live in peace, whoever has money is not buying a shop or land, so that they have an income every month, and they are down-to-earth, which is better than sticking to a pile of silver.

More subconsciously, he didn't know what was wrong, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Mei Xiaotong didn't know the idea of Shopkeeper Zheng, he also felt that he seemed to be relaxed when he proposed this idea.

"One more thing, that batch of dyed cloth in the warehouse, I thought-"

Before Mei Xiaotong finished speaking, Shopkeeper Zheng immediately said: "Although these cloths are dyed and wasted, it is better to pull them into the fabric shop, and they can be sold cheaper." ”

"Shopkeeper Zheng misunderstood, this cloth is actually not dyed waste, as long as I deploy a recipe and bleaching and dyeing again, it will be the same as the cloth of the auspicious dyeing workshop." Mei Xiaotong threw out a bomb unhurriedly.

The explosion made Zheng's shopkeeper unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

After a while, he spoke: "You...... You mean, can the cloth be saved? ”

Mei Xiaotong nodded.

Shopkeeper Zheng's breathing became very short, and his eyes looked at Mei Xiaotong with a little more jealousy.

He didn't expect that Boss Tian would be able to save the fabrics that let Boss Tian go bankrupt and sell all his family property and return to his hometown cheaply.

If Boss Tian knew the news, would he be so angry that he vomited blood?

Or maybe Mei Xiaotong had already planned all this when she was anti-design and asked Boss Tian to steal the recipe?

In any case, Shopkeeper Zheng felt that his attitude towards Mei Xiaotong in the future should be more cautious and respectful.

However, the heart of the shopkeeper Zheng is also eager, after the beginning of spring, it was originally the peak season for cloth sales, and now the cloth dyed by the auspicious dyeing workshop is far from being supplied.

And the batch of cloth in the Fugui Dyeing Workshop only needs one bleaching and dyeing once to sell it, so ......

Stabilizing his mind, the voice of the shopkeeper Zheng trembled a little: "How many horses are there in this batch of fabrics?" Are you sure that the bleaching and dyeing is the same as the cloth from the auspicious dyeing workshop? ”

Mei Xiaotong is very sure: "As long as you follow my method, it will be absolutely the same!" That batch of cloth, about 3,000 horses? ”

Shopkeeper Zheng quickly calculated in his heart, three thousand pieces of cloth, the current market price, such a large number of wholesale purchases, the most ordinary white grey cloth

It is about 500 wen a horse, and the medium quality white grey cloth is about 650 wen a horse, which is transported to the dyeing workshop, and the freight is evenly shared, about 10 wen per horse, and after dyeing, it is more than several times.

If you eat this batch of cloth, the shipping fee is OK

Regardless of the cost of dyeing, the cost of dyeing is reduced by more than half, and the cycle is greatly shortened, as long as the price is right, this batch of cloth is definitely profitable.

Thinking about it like this, Shopkeeper Zheng made up his mind in his heart: "I want it all!" How much does Miss Wang plan to sell for a horse? ”

Mei Xiaotong smiled: "I won't talk about this today, I just told my thoughts to Shopkeeper Zheng for a few days, and Shopkeeper Zheng should not be in a hurry to make a decision!" Go back and think about it for a few days, anyway, there is less than a month to go before the New Year. I didn't have the heart to talk about these years ago, so it's better to wait for the New Year, everyone has thought it through, and let's find a time to talk about it after the year? ”

From the last time Fang Zi's incident, she knew that Shopkeeper Zheng could only make decisions on small matters at present, and for this kind of major event to expand the territory of his career, Shopkeeper Zheng would definitely have to ask the master for instructions.

There is also the purchase of her rich dyeing workshop and three thousand pieces of cloth, which is not a trivial matter, rather than saying it today, and not talking about it because of various things in the future, it is better not to be in a hurry, let the shopkeeper Zheng think about it, and also give him time to communicate with the master.

Moreover, the family is about to prepare for Mei Changgui's marriage and New Year, and she really can't take a break.

What's more, how much this dyeing workshop will sell for, and how to price the 3,000 pieces of cloth, she doesn't have a charter yet, and she has to discuss it with An Huahao.

It's better to push it to the new year, everyone has thought clearly, there is time, whether it will be successful or not, a matter of one sentence.

Shopkeeper Zheng also knew that he was a little anxious, listened to Mei Xiaotong's words, and picked up the teacup to drink tea, "What Miss Wang said is that today is a happy event to warm the house, and it is not suitable to talk about this, I am presumptuous!" ”

Mei Xiaotong still has to cooperate with Shopkeeper Zheng, so naturally he will not be embarrassed, and gets up with a smile: "This looks at the sky, it's time for lunch, today there is a thin wine at home, and I invite Shopkeeper Zheng to enjoy it." ”

Shopkeeper Zheng was busy saying politely, and the two went out together.

An Huahao and a few people over there heard the movement, and they also came out of the east wing, and walked to the Mei family's courtyard with a smile.

Except for the shopkeeper Zheng who specially prepared a gift and asked Tianhu to mention it first, Wu Zhongbao and Steward Lu both directly followed the gift money.

Wu Zhongbao followed five taels of silver, and Steward Lu also followed two taels of silver.

The warm house is not more important than the wedding banquet, that is, relatives and friends who have a good relationship will come, and the Mei family will marry their fourth daughter-in-law in a few days.

Most people are also reluctant, so there are a few people who have a good relationship today, plus the specially invited Li Zhenghe patriarch, as well as a few respected elders of the Mei family.

The gift is also simple, and if the family is not rich, that is, with two eggs and a piece of tofu.

The weather was cold, and the table was set up in the courtyard, and the dish was cold before it was served, so a few tables were set up in the east and west wings of the first entry.

The guests are arranged in the front two entrances, although there are not many people, but they also look lively.

An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong led the three of them to the back and entered the third courtyard

In the sub, only one table was set up in the east wing.

The kang burned hot, and the house was warm.

At the table in the east wing, sitting was Li Zheng, the head of the Mei family, and two respected elders.

An Huahao brought people here, and Li Zheng saw more, not to mention that the three of them were also famous figures in the town, so they were busy greeting.

I can't help but think highly of the Mei family, the Mei family has a happy event, these people can come in person twice, and it seems that the relationship with the Mei family is not ordinary.

Mei Zhongzhong and Mei Xiaoque, in the eyes of outsiders, are still the head of the Mei family and the eldest son, and they don't have time to sit at the table, so they toast Lizheng and them first.

After drinking a glass of wine, Mei loyally confessed and went to the front two courtyards.

Shopkeeper Zheng and Steward Lu are both characters who go south and north, and Li Zheng and the patriarch are also shrewd people, and they are kind for a while.

Occasionally said a few words, and Shopkeeper Zheng and Steward Lu also gave face, but they chatted hotly.

Wu Zhongbao has a temperament, and he came to Mei's house because An Huahao's reason is bigger, he hasn't eaten anything delicious, and this kind of banquet of the Mei family is already excellent in the village, and in his opinion, it is just a little wild.

I ate two bites casually and wanted to chat with An Huahao, but An Huahao was able to talk to him in one sentence.

Wu Zhongbao started several conversations, but he was suffocated by An Huahao, and he was so angry.

It just so happened that Mei Xiaotong went to the backyard to pretend to put the box with the silver ticket in the house, and after actually receiving the storage box, she came out and saw the food served, and the helper was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, so she took a dish and brought it to the east wing.

As a result, he was pulled by Wu Zhongbao and insisted that Mei Xiaotong sit down.

Shopkeeper Zheng and Steward Lu also agreed, to be honest, they all came to see Mei Xiaotong's face, especially Shopkeeper Zheng, who is now eager to confess to Mei Xiaotong.

Although Li Zheng and they feel that there are some things that are not in order, how can a woman go to the table where a man sits, but everyone also knows that Mei Xiaotong is now in charge of the Mei family, and this house can be built thanks to her.

Therefore, they all acquiesced.

Mei Xiaotong didn't squirm, and sat next to An Huahao generously.
