Chapter 54: Cutting

“…… Less than half of the spices have been sold, and the owner will definitely scold them. Li Laohan sighed as he looked at the remaining half of the carload of spices.

"But we came before them......" Locks remembered that it was not dawn when they came, and there were only a few people scattered around the market.

This is not earlier or later than who comes, the length of squatting depends on how much the goods are delivered, looking at the innocence, Li Laohan sighed, lowered his head and continued to sweep the snow on the edge of the incense stall.

"Old man ......" was sweeping, not beware of someone shouting behind him, Li Laohan shuddered, hurriedly collected the feather duster, turned around, "Guest officer, what ...... do you want to buy" Halfway through the words, it was Yao Wu, the third member of the Yao family, who led a few house slaves to stand in front of the incense stall with a face, Li Laohan subconsciously bowed his waist, with a smile on his face, "...... San'an, what's wrong with you? ”

The Yao family is a big spice family, and the three times they come here are by no means to buy spices

Li Laohan looked at Yao Wu in his heart.

“…… Have you ever seen this kind of incense? Yao Wu took a piece of blackened cypress leaf and handed it to Li Laohan.

The lock shook his foot and craned his neck to look ahead.

Pulling the lock behind him, Li Laohan looked down carefully for a long time, "...... Fragrant? "Blink and wink, isn't this just a rotten leaf?

Today, is that the tendon wrong?

First, Mu Wanqiu took a bag of leaves and insisted that it was a spice, and begged him to help sell it, but this one was better, and even took a piece of charred and rotten leaves that were pulled out of the stove pit and smoked, and it was also said to be fragrant

The Adam's apple squirmed for a long time, and Li Laohan swallowed his throat, Yao San was not someone he could offend.

“…… Have you seen it? Seeing that he stretched out his head and looked at it for a long time, Yao Wu's tone was full of impatience, "...... It's the incense that wafts from this morning's market."

“…… The incense that Guanyin Bodhisattva rewarded? Li Laohan shuddered, "...... No? ”

“…… Think about it again, when you go to the market today, have you ever seen anyone bring this kind of incense? A tall and thin family beside Yao Wu didn't give up, and asked again.

"Nope." As if he was afraid that Yao Wu would not believe it, Li Laohan shook his head vigorously, "There really isn't." "I felt a small hand behind him tugging at him, and I was busy holding it," ...... Such a strange incense, where do people like us see it? ”

"It's also ......" glanced at Li Laohan again, feeling that he didn't look like a lie, Yao Wu waved his hand, and the group walked to the next one.

The uncle who looked at the stall nodded and asked Yao Wu to say goodbye, and the lock quietly tugged on his father, "Dad, is that the cypress leaf incense that Aqiu let sell?" He still remembered that Mu Wanqiu didn't let his father say that this cypress leaf incense was concocted by her, and his voice was extremely soft.

"Ah Qiu......" Li Laohan's heart moved, he looked back at Yao Wu, and then shook his head, "She's a little girl who doesn't even know spices, how can she make such a good fragrance?" Then he turned back and said, "The lock is not allowed to talk nonsense to people......

Yao Shixing is a good person, but the third of his family is not a top one, although Mu Wanqiu is black and thin, but if you look closely, she is unusually pure and elegant, once she is noticed by the demon, she will not have a good life, thinking of Mu Wanqiu's lonely little girl, who trembles and begs for life every day beside Lin Ji's yin and yang weird Master Liu, Li Laohan sighed in his heart, "That child is really not easy to ......"

……

Wrapping the weighed spices in kraft paper, Li Laohan handed the green shirt in front of the incense stall with both hands, "The snow is slippery, you can go...... Carefully the snow soaked the spices......"

After taking the spices, Tsing Yi threw two strings of money, "Eight hundred, you have counted ......"

Seeing the green shirt go away, Li Laohan looked back at Yao Wu, who was about to walk to the end of the market, and then looked at the gray and hazy sky, and muttered, "No one will come to buy spices, and it should be ......."

"Uncle......" was thinking about it, when an affectionate call came from behind him.

"Ah Qiu is here, the family is done...... "As soon as he turned around, seeing that it was Mu Wanqiu, Li Laohan reached out and scooped up a stool for her to sit on, "I'm afraid I won't be able to pick up the baby today......" Li Laohan looked at the overwhelming snow in the bazaar, and teased in his mouth.

"Uncle......" Mu Wanqiu blushed, and her eyes swept to the spice stall, "...... And the spice sold? ”

“…… Spices? It took a long time for Li Laohan to understand that Mu Wanqiu was referring to the bag of leaves he threw in the morning, and in his consciousness, he had never defined cypress leaves as spices, "Oh...... Oh......" he sighed twice, "sold, sold......" Don't dare to look at Mu Wanqiu, he lowered his head and took out the money.

“…… Really" Mu Wanqiu grabbed him, her face full of surprise.

Being able to buy it means that her craftsmanship is recognized, and it means that she is no longer a layman

"Yes...... It was bought by a poor scholar from other places......" is not used to lying, Li Laohan has a little stuttering, and his eyes are unnaturally aimed at the lock.

He was grinning with dark eyes.

Immersed in joy, Mu Wanqiu didn't pay attention to Li Laohan's abnormality, "How much is ......?"

“…… Together with the burden, fifteen" Li Laohan fumbled and took out the copper coins he had prepared earlier and handed them to Mu Wanqiu.

“…… I sold so much" Mu Wanqiu shouted happily, "Thank you, uncle......" took out two coins without counting the money, reached out and pulled the lock, "Let's go, take you to buy candy to ......"

"Don't ...... Other...... Eating too much sugar and having a toothache "How difficult it is for Mu Wanqiu to make money, Li Laohan reached out to stop it, Mu Wanqiu was a cat's waist, and he had already dragged the lock and disappeared.

"The candy cube is so sweet" Suozi took a piece of yellow orange candy and stuffed it into his father's mouth, "Daddy taste it......"

"Go to ......" glared at the lock fiercely, "just eat, don't be sensible at all, let your mother clean up your ......"

The lock giggled and ran to the pony stool and sat down, grimacing at Mu Wanqiu.

"Uncle, the lock is still small, don't teach him a lesson......" Mu Wanqiu said affectionately, and then changed the topic, "Since someone wants this incense, I'll concoct some more, and Uncle will help me sell it next time I catch the market, and we'll ......divide the money equally."

The taste of the Baiye incense is very good, it is most suitable for readers, and the scholar will definitely come back to buy it when he runs out, and maybe he will help her publicize it, Mu Wanqiu thought beautifully.

…… Also sold

His throat moved, and Li Laohan's face was bruised, and he looked even more embarrassed than just now; The fifteen lines of money that I just lost have not been explained to the lock lady

"Uncle......" Seeing that his expression was wrong, Mu Wanqiu called out at a loss.

"Your bag of incense, Dad took a lot of effort to sell it to others......" The lock was relieved on the side.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, it would be good if there were repeat customers in the future......" Mu Wanqiu muttered in her heart, facing Li Laohan's wrinkled face like a dead tree, and finally didn't speak, "My mother is sick, I really need money......"

There is no money to buy samples, learning perfume is the time to work hard, if she gives up halfway, she will never have a chance to turn over in her life.

She really needed money so much

"Hey, hard-working baby......" shook his head, Li Laohan sighed, lowered his head and smoked a dry cigarette.

"Uncle......

"Look at the stack of incense you carved for the chain, it's also a skillful ......" After smoking a pot of cigarettes, Li Laohan raised his head, "Do you want to try to do some cutting work......

“…… Cut? Mu Wanqiu's eyes lit up, "Uncle can help me find a cutting job?" ”

After seeing Wei's concocting techniques, she dreamed of cutting it with her own hands, but she didn't have the money to buy spices to practice.

"It's a ...... for a day job"

“…… Short-term work? The tone was full of disappointment, working a short job meant that there were only ten days and a half months of work, if she resigned from Lin Ji for this, then what would happen in the future?

After experiencing the first days of hitting walls everywhere, Mu Wanqiu begged for difficulties in life in Shuoyang for people like her who had no skills, no name and no background.

"You don't have to quit Lin Ji's job......" As if she was worried, Li Laohan said, "I'll talk to the owner to see if I can let you take the ingredients and take the time to cut ...... at night."

“…… What do you tell the owner? Mu Wanqiu's eyes widened, "You mean you want me to try it at Li Ji Spice Shop?" ”

Li Ji might want her?

Although not as famous as Yao Ji, Li Ji Spice Store is also one of the top three spice shops in Shuoyang, she went to Li Ji to apply for a job, but when she saw that she didn't even know spices, she was directly kicked out.

The most important thing is that unlike Yao Ji, Li Ji is good at knife work in concocting spices, and their master is the famous Sun Kuaishou in Shuoyang, with a swishing knife technique, and the material cutting is fast and good, and other big material lines have at least seven or eight cuts, but Li Ji, Sun Kuaishou only brought two apprentices, and did the work of seven or eight people.

Such a fast hand, can you take a fancy to her craftsmanship?

"Master Sun just received a letter from the family a few days ago, saying that his mother was sick and had just asked the owner for leave, saying that it was at least the New Year, and the owner was looking for a short-term job everywhere......" Li Laohan pinned the cigarette pouch to his waist and got up to clean up the incense stall.

"I ...... Can I do it without skipping words. Mu Wanqiu stepped forward to help sort the unsold spices into bags.

"I'll tell the owner to give it a try, after a small year, all the families will seal the pot, and the owner doesn't plan to spend a lot of money to hire people......" After driving the carriage, Li Laohan took the spice bag in Mu Wanqiu's hand and loaded it into the car, "I want to hire some odd jobs first, and I will not be idle in the first month, and I will cut the ...... slowly."

"That ......"

"You take these, study and study at night, practice and try......" picked a few spices cut into different shapes from the stall and handed them to Mu Wanqiu, "I'll tell the owner today, if it's okay, you will take the time to try it tomorrow, Lin Ji is also close, and the work is not busy in the New Year, if the owner sees it, you can bring it to ......"

"Okay, then please ask the uncle to say more good things......"

Taking the spice baby in her arms, Mu Wanqiu responded happily.

There is no need to study, although she has not practiced, but she has already memorized Wei's knife skills, and she must be better than Sun Kuaishou

The most important thing is that making money is a trivial matter, Li Ji is a big spice shop, once this job is completed, she will have the opportunity to come into contact with precious spices.

No longer needs money, and her immediate predicament will be solved.

Moved another bag of spices and put it in the car, Mu Wanqiu clenched her fists tightly, no matter how hard it was, she must grab this cutting work

Yes By].
