The goatee man's face turned white, and then he stiffened his neck and said, "I'm laying it for rice now, my father knows, and he won't talk about me." ”

"Good, good"

The cloud shopkeeper smiled at the corner of his mouth, and even after saying two good words, he no longer persuaded him.

For the sake of his old friend's face for many years, he persuaded him with good words, since the other party didn't appreciate it, let him be.

As for whether he will live or die in the future, it depends on his creation.

With the departure of the cloud shopkeeper, three more shopkeepers who had business with the farm left under the excuse of leaving.

In an instant, there were only four people left in the huge room.

It's not that they don't want to leave, but that the livelihood they engage in is mainly heavy physical strength, and they are more dependent on apprentices, and this problem makes them unavoidable.

I can't think of any good way.

In business, the practice of the farm is understandable, and it is not the turn of outsiders to point fingers.

Even if they want to tear their faces, but the other party's owner is a woman, and good men don't fight with women, and it's not good for their reputation to spread it.

Not to mention, the husband of the farm owner is still the head of Song Zhutou of the county government.

As a merchant, the last thing you want to provoke is the people of the public family, and this has been the case since ancient times.

In desperation, the three had to retire.

Blacksmith Zhang was unhappy and returned to the house, sighing.

This rally, not only did not reach an alliance, but instead put in a jar of drinks.

Although it is not a good wine, but with peanuts, there are more than 100 yuan, which is worth half a month's money for an apprentice, and it hurts to think about it.

Zhang's shopkeeper's mother-in-law Shen is a good one, but she can't be the master, and she looks at Xiang Gong's sad face, so she has to persuade her with good words.

"Or, give our apprentice some monthly money......

Before he finished speaking, he was pushed back by the shopkeeper.

"What do you mention, what Lao Tzu taught them is a craft, a craft that can be done for a lifetime, how can Raushzi Farm give it."

The shopkeeper on the gas head finally grabbed a punching bag and sprayed it at the old woman.

Forget it, just do what you love, I don't care, a piece of kindness, was rejected by his wife in person, and Shen was also disheartened.

As soon as she came back from outside, she was also taken aback, and the money given this month was too high.

The lowest subordinate on the farm has 300 wen for food, and there is still monthly money to get every month, and the least is 500, if it is an apprentice, isn't it even higher!?

In contrast, not only does the iron shop not provide food, but the monthly money is only 300 yuan, which is not comparable to other people's subordinates.

glanced at his wife timidly, and it was useless to persuade him, so Shen had to swallow the rest of the words back into his stomach.

Although Shopkeeper Zhang is mean and bitter to outsiders, he still respects his old wife who has been with him for many years, and he has not considered mentioning money.

The apprentice in the shop has lost the heart to work since the news came out of the farm, when he can't see it!?

It's just that the thought of mentioning the monthly money makes him feel pain, so let's think about it and think about it again.

See if there's another way......

---------------

At the same time, in the north of Anxian County, in the courtyard of a big mansion in Li Mansion, a group of people who were completely different from Shopkeeper Zhang were also talking about the farm and Du Jun who suddenly appeared.

There were seventeen or eighteen men in the group, all richly dressed, well-dressed, and well-talked, but they were quite old, the youngest of whom was over fifty years old.

If Song Jiang was here, he would be able to recognize them at a glance, they were the so-called upper-class people composed of wealthy squires in Anxian County, officials and noble scholars.

After years of accumulation, several generations of business, the outstanding characteristics are a large family, a full house of children and grandchildren, plus more fields, more land, and more tenants.

If they join forces and move their fingers, Anxian County will be an earthquake.

Of course, these are what they themselves think.

If Du Jun was here, he would definitely say, "Phew! It's just a bunch of old antiques, or the kind of self-righteous and old-fashioned antiques. ”

Why are they gathered here?

Then you have to see which big Buddha is sitting on the top seat.

Li Hongbin, a scholar in the Qingyun period, the official worship of Shangshu Zhongshu Shilang, is under the fourth grade, six levels higher than the Zhou County Order, 20 years ago to return to the hometown, the official authority is still there, everyone to his horse is the first to look forward.

In the middle of the month, everyone gathers here to exchange ideas and strengthen ties, which has become a tradition in the Li Mansion.

For some reason, the topic was talking, and we talked about the garment competition that was in the limelight.

"Are you sure that the embroidered cloud lady is also going to participate in this garment competition?"

The old man sitting at the top, full of gray hair, meticulously combed, gently put down the teacup, did not raise his eyelids, and asked with a little contemplation.

"Is that still fake? My wife said that the Xiuyun lady rested for a few days and postponed all the visits, just to participate in this so-called competition. ”

A man in a dark green robe touched his short black and white beard and said exaggeratedly, with a faint smile in his eyes.

"Interesting, a little interesting, Xiuyun Lady, I have been famous for a long time, but I didn't expect to lower my price this time and participate in the competition of a small farm, which made me look forward to this competition a little bit, haha."

An old man in a dark gold robe replied casually.

"Brother Chengji, the younger brother is not interested in the competition, but he is just worried, this farm holds the competition with such fanfare, and the monthly money given is very high, will it affect the cultivation of tenants next year." The dark green robed man arched his hand and said to the dark gold robed man.

His remarks resonated with many people here.

It is true that many of them are heads of the family, representing a large number of people.

It seems that the family has a big business and unlimited scenery, but there is also a drawback, that is, the tail is too big to fall, and it is not easy to transform.

For the sake of insurance, more money was exchanged for fields and tenanted to farmers to maintain the family's daily needs.

The man in the dark gold robe, known as Brother Chengji, laughed and didn't care, "Liu Yuanwai, you can ask the wrong person about this, everyone here, who doesn't know what vulgar things I, Jin Chengji, don't care about, you, you might as well ask Master Li, our gang, but we all listen to him." ”

"Yes, we all listen to Master Li", and several people around him also echoed.

"Master Li, just tell me, I see, if you don't say it again, Liu Yuanwai will have to cry urgently."

Jin Chengji smiled at the old man in the upper position and said.

"Brother Chengji, you have passed the year of ear shun, why are you still so jumpy, and you are not afraid of junior jokes."

"Jokes are jokes, Cheng Ji has never cared about these false names in his life, he is used to wandering, and he will not change it."

Li Shilang had a headache for this young acquaintance and Chengji, who had been friends for decades, but there was nothing he could do, he shook his head and could only go with him.
