Chapter 269: Assassination
Su Heting came and went in a hurry, Yuan Ning stared at the curtain that was still shaking, and exhaled a sigh of relief.
She thinks that the people who destroy the farmland and Sai Qingzhu may not be the same group, but they must all be here for destruction.
And it's just the beginning, and it can only be regarded as a temptation, and there will be big moves in the future.
Alas, it turns out that no matter where you are, if you want to do something practical, you will be met with resistance of one kind or another.
Since she couldn't go out, she began to be busy in the studio, occasionally going to the shop to take a look.
After experiencing this incident, I paid more attention to Qingluo, and often took her out with me.
On the other hand, Fang Yan selected four maids from the tooth shop, two twelve-year-old and two six-year-old.
Aunt Zhang looked over, leaving only one big and one small two, temporarily calling.
The business of Zhu Kee Shop is as prosperous as ever, because the quality of the cloth is good and the price is not high, so merchants from neighboring states and counties have also come to order.
After discussing with Yuan Ning, the shopkeeper Qin expanded the scale of the workshop, so that there were more looms that needed to be transformed.
Yuan Ning is also busier.
In addition, the demand for cloth has increased, and the ramie grown on their own farms is not enough, so they need to buy it from outside.
It's just that in this way, the cost is a little higher.
Yuan Ning had no choice but to ask the shopkeeper Qin to find a reliable person to go out for an inspection, and then buy land for planting, because this industry can continue for a long time, and the subsequent demand for cotton and linen crops will only increase.
In addition, in the past, she has carried out relatively smooth variety improvements, and the yield of cotton and linen crops has increased slightly.
Originally, cotton was only grown in a small number of areas, but Yu Jingze provided a certain amount of seeds, and Yuan Ning is starting to plant and improve them, and it will be at least three years before they can be promoted.
In the process of improving this batch of looms, she found that there were still many places that could be improved, so she easily changed them. Thinking about it, I only do things by myself, and now it's better to say that in the future, the scale of production will be further expanded, and I can't do it even if I'm tired.
So I thought about recruiting a group of apprentices.
It's just that, for the time being, it's hard to find a candidate for this apprentice, and it's not suitable to find it at this time, so I have to put the plan on hold for the time being, and do it myself first.
Fortunately, she is extremely skilled in these things, and her work efficiency is also very high, she can transform more than a dozen looms in a day, and in three days all the looms needed for a medium-sized textile workshop are completed. It's just that people are tired enough.
It was easy to get a chance to breathe, and she remembered that Su Heting was also very busy these days, every day before she woke up, the person left, she was about to fall asleep, and when she came back, it was rare for the two of them to be able to say a few words.
It's just that no matter how busy they are, they still remember each other, and let Fang Yan run at both ends and tell them to eat and sleep on time.
Yuan Ning rubbed his sore wrist, and when he came back to his senses, he was already in the kitchen.
The weather is getting hotter, and when cooking in the kitchen, the heat is steaming, and Aunt Zhang and the others are rolling their sleeves above their elbows, and Rao is like this, and they are also sweating.
Seeing Yuan Ning appear here, Qingluo greeted him and said, "Madam, why are you here?" Lunch will be fine in a while, if you are hungry, here is a snack, you will pad first? ”
"It's fine." Yuan Ning could see through the steaming mist that Aunt Zhang was steaming steamed buns, and there were plates of cut vegetables on the board, and the raw materials for the prepared cauldron dishes were also in the big basket.
Aunt Zhang wiped her hands and came over to ask, "Madam, what do you command?" ”
Yuan Ning waved his hand, "Just to see what to eat at noon, the master will probably not be able to come back, and I will personally deliver the meal later." ”
Aunt Zhang smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, the staple food today is steamed buns, with three dishes and a vermicelli soup." ”
Yuan Ning advised: "The weather is getting hotter, you should also prepare a little tea to cool off, in addition to them, you should also pay attention to yourself." ”
Aunt Zhang hurriedly thanked her, "Don't worry, we know in our hearts, that is, it is too hot for a moment and a half, and the buns will not be so hot after they come out of the pot." I put mung beans in the cauldron and gave them to the officials outside. ”
Yuan Ning frowned, "In the future, don't boil porridge and soup with steamed buns and steamed buns, if you boil it repeatedly, the water will no longer taste good." ”
Although Aunt Zhang didn't understand what the principle was, she still nodded and agreed, "Yes, we remember." ”
After a while, the meals prepared for Su Heting were all prepared and put into the food box, a total of three people's portions, and Su Heting and Nanchuan Beimang ate together.
Yuan Ning walked out of the kitchen and saw Zhong Ling walking over holding Ji Xiu's hand, so he smiled and said to them, "You go wash your hands first, and I'll go and bring food to your brother-in-law and save him." ”
Zhong Ling agreed with a smile and led Ji Xiu to prepare for the meal.
And Bo Zhong and Shu Yu's share was eaten with Fang Yan.
Yuan Ning arrived at the front but pounced, Su Heting had just gone out with Nanchuan Beimang, the purpose was unknown, and the return date was uncertain.
Yuan Ning hesitated, but put down the food box, and instructed the people who were waiting in the study: "Put these here first, if the master and Nanchuan Beimang come back early, let them eat quickly, if they come back late, send a letter inside, and I will let someone send hot ones." ”
The servant in the study was a little maid who had only recently been found from outside, and he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he seemed to be in good spirits.
The little guy hurriedly nodded in agreement, and repeatedly asked Yuan Ning to rest assured.
Yuan Ning raised his hand and patted it on the food box, then turned around and went back to the inner house.
After half an hour, the whole house was quiet, and Bo Zhong and a few other schoolchildren were already asleep. Yuan Ning sat in the room, fiddling with a small hand crossbow in his hand, the corners of his mouth were straight, and his expression was condensed.
A piercing scream came from the front yard: "Someone, someone's dead!" The old man has been assassinated! "The chaos arose, and there was a quick return to calm, as quickly as if that voice was an illusion.
Yuan Ning came to the courtyard and made sure that his younger siblings were not disturbed, so he went back to the living room and sat down.
Footsteps sounded quietly, and Su Heting's voice said outside: "A-Ning, it's me." ”
Yuan Ning put down his crossbow, got up to greet him, and said unhappily: "Why didn't you tell me in advance about such a big thing?" ”
Su Heting smiled and said, "I know that the tacit understanding between us doesn't need to be specially explained. ”
Yuan Ning unceremoniously gave him a big look, "What if it's not me who delivers the food today?" ”
Su Heting pulled her to sit down together, took the opportunity to hold the person to his lap, and stretched out his hand to hug her, "I originally wanted to come in and eat with you today, but I didn't expect something to happen temporarily, so we solved it casually outside." ”
Although Yuan Ning knew that he would not be fooled, his heart was still unavoidable, and when he saw that he was good at this moment, his hanging heart was also put down, "If there is such a thing next time, you must talk to me in advance, no matter how tacit you understand, it will inevitably have an accident." ”
