Chapter 62: The Dyeing Workshop Begins, Thanksgiving
Du Wei took the freesia away from Xingsheng, and deliberately pretended to be a ghost when she left, which scared Sun Fu into a fart, and hid behind the signboard on the adjacent street and laughed for a long time.
After walking through a few streets, they didn't go to see Cang Ming until Canglan was sure that no one was following her.
A few days ago, Du Wei had received a message from Cang Ming through Canglan, saying that Qinbei had purchased what Qi needed.
She drew the tie-dye process on paper with charcoal strips, handed it to Cang Ming, and told him to be careful, this picture must not fall into the hands of others, Cang Ming naturally knew that it was powerful, and acted more carefully.
He bought a small courtyard with the back of the dyeing workshop and transformed it into a secret passage that could be connected to the dyeing workshop inside, Du Wei now only needs to enter the small courtyard, and then can directly reach the main house in the dyeing workshop.
Du Wei and Freesia all changed into men's attire, Du Wei was still dressed as a boy in red, wearing a gauze hat, and Freesia was dressed as a scholar.
When she came to the dyeing courtyard, Du Wei saw that it was not as depressed as the last time she came, and six or seven workers not far away were busy, but they were all over sixty years old, and their faces were yellow and thin.
Seeing that Du Wei seemed to be puzzled, Cang Ming said in a low voice: "These people used to work here, since the dyeing workshop closed down, they can't find a job, and other dyeing workshops don't accept them, and they dislike their slow ......work."
Du Wei turned her head to look at Cang Ming, "How are they?" ”
Cang Ming hurriedly said: "According to my observation, these people are honest and reliable. ”
Du Wei smiled faintly, "I naturally trust the vision of my eldest brother, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, I should be happy if I can get them." ”
Cang Ming had also speculated that Du Wei might keep them before, but it was only for their pitiful sake, but now it seemed that her insight was far more than he imagined......
Thinking of this, Cang Ming couldn't help but smile apologetically, "It's just that most of them are not in good health and work a little slowly." ”
"It's okay." Du Wei said, "Recently, you went to the street to pay attention to taking in some homeless children, and picked more smart and clever ones." ”
"What does Miss want to do?" Cang Ming was puzzled.
"Naturally, it's for the sake of future business." Du Wei was wearing a gauze hat on her head, Cang Ming couldn't see her expression, but listening to her voice, he felt that she should be smiling, and suddenly he felt that as long as she was willing, he would do anything for her, even if he didn't understand the reason.
"Don't underestimate those little beggars." Du Wei chuckled, "As long as you are really good to them, they will repay you, and when they are trained, let them come to the dyeing workshop and let these masters teach them the craft." ”
"But if they do learn the craft, they won't leave." Cang Ming knows that it is difficult for people's hearts to feel satisfied.
"You can rest assured that I have my own way." Du Wei walked through the courtyard, and many workers stopped what they were doing and looked this way, obviously they had heard that this dyeing workshop had been purchased by the peerless son.
At this time, someone came out with a large wooden barrel at the door of the firewood room in the distance, and Du Wei faintly smelled the smell of cabbage soup.
When I walked over, I saw that the soup in the bucket was almost visible.
Du Wei raised her eyebrows, turned around and whispered a few words to Cang Ming.
Cang Ming left in a hurry, and Du Wei took Canglan back to the main house, Qin Bei was already waiting there at this time, taking out the tie-dye sample from the test dye for her to see.
Although they had never been exposed to tie-dyeing before, with the detailed process of Du Wei's painting, the veteran workers quickly produced several cloth samples with different patterns.
Qin Bei's face was full of joy, "Childe, are you satisfied with this?" ”
Du Wei didn't expect that they would be able to dye this so well for the first time, and in addition to the patterns according to her requirements, there were other new products that were obviously created by the work itself.
Du Wei nodded, and the freesia beside her spoke for her: "The peerless prince is very satisfied, there is Mr. Lao Qin." ”
Qin Bei knew that the owner in front of him never spoke in front of people, but he didn't expect that the other party's scholar would call him sir, so he hurriedly retreated in surprise, "I can't help it, I can't help it, I can't be vulgar, how can I afford this title." ”
Canglan almost laughed out loud when she saw him panic like this, Du Wei secretly pinched Canglan under the table, and Canglan put on a serious face again.
After looking at some cloth samples, Du Wei picked out the most satisfactory ones for Freesia to collect.
At this time, Cang Ming came in from outside with a food box, and he was accompanied by a guy from a restaurant.
Qin Bei watched in surprise as the guy brought out plates of steaming food from the food box and filled the entire table.
After Cang Ming paid the silver, the guy left, Qin Bei stared at the table of dishes listed on the cups and plates in front of him, his eyes were a little straight.
Cang Ming respectfully placed the food plate in front of Du Wei, and Qin Bei suddenly realized that his host was going to have lunch here.
But...... Looking at the dishes on this table, it's a little too extravagant, right?
But none of these were something that one of his subordinates could ask, so he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "The son is slow to use, and the little one will go out first." ”
Du Wei was a little amused when she saw his one-sided attitude, and looked at Cang Ming.
Cang Ming understood and said, "Childe has invited Mr. Qin to sit with him." ”
Qin Bei was stunned for a moment, and then a weak voice came from the door of the room: "Mr. Qin...... Are you looking for us? ”
Qin Bei turned his head, his face turned white with shock, those old workers all gathered at the door for some reason, if they made the unequaled prince angry at this time, they dismissed them, and they could only wait to be starved to death in the future.
"Come in." Without waiting for Qin Bei to speak, Cang Ming took the lead in speaking: "Everyone sit here." ”
The seven old workers moved into the house tremblingly, looked at a matchless son in red, and knelt down and kowtowed, "I've seen the owner!" I've seen the owner! ”
Du Wei sighed in her heart, what these people want is very simple, they only need food and clothing, but in this way, it is difficult for them to survive.
"Get up." Cang Ming replaced Du Wei Dao.
Only then did everyone get up and peek at the owner who was sitting, only to see a red dress with a graceful demeanor, and a jade jaw was faintly visible behind the white veil.
Several old people became nervous again, and when they saw this table of good food, they didn't even dare to move.
Du Wei pointed to Qin Bei and pointed to the chair on the side.
Qin Bei realized this, and hurriedly let everyone else sit, but everyone was holding chopsticks in their hands, and no one dared to pick up the vegetables.
Du Wei had to let Canglan give herself a little bit of each dish first, and everyone dared to put down their chopsticks.
For a moment, the only sound of swallowing and chopsticks hitting cups and plates could be heard in the room, and no one spoke, and no one looked up to look at others.
Not only Du Wei, but even Freesia was shocked by this scene.
These old workers, as if they hadn't eaten for a few days, desperately stuffed food into their mouths, and tears could be seen in the corners of their eyes......
