Chapter 60: A chance encounter at the gambling house
Boss Wu asked what he was thinking, and Ye Hao shook his head with a smile.
With Mochizukilou's affection for himself, if he really came up with something amazing, it would be easier to cooperate directly with the other party.
"It's to sell some farm tools, which I make in my spare time, which is more convenient than the farm tools that are commonly used now."
Ye Hao didn't hide it either, after all, she still had to open the door to do business at that time, so she naturally had to be exposed.
Hearing this, Boss Wu was obviously stunned for a moment, the span from food to farm tools seems to be a bit big?
But this is also a private matter, and he can only point to it.
"And how big do you want a shop?" I'll keep an eye out for any free in the city."
The county seat of Manyi is a small place, and there are not many shops in the city, which are basically the most basic trades.
For example, rice noodle shops, cloth villages, medical halls and the like.
Hearing this, Ye Zhen frowned and thought about it, she just sold a farm tool, and she didn't need much space.
"It's smaller than your liquor store, it's not big business."
The improved version of the plough is much smaller and lighter than the existing version, and since it is handmade, Ye Hao only plans to put a few samples in the shop.
When Xie Yunshu mentioned that she wanted to launch an improved version of the wooden plow, she had already considered that such a useful thing for farmers must not only be used by the villagers in her own village.
If it spreads, it will definitely benefit other farmers.
In this way, you will only get more merit points, isn't that the best of both worlds?
Besides, the design is so complicated that even a modern Ph.D. can't understand it without a little effort.
Unless you take the design from your own hand, the average person can't copy it.
Ye Hao thought about it, so he cooperated with Zheng Carpenter, he made his own customization, and how to divide the money will be discussed separately when the time comes.
"Smaller than my shop? I'm afraid it's rare, but I'll keep an eye on it, and I'll inform you of the news."
Boss Wu nodded in response, he was born and raised in Manyi County, and he knew the situation in the city better.
Helping Ye Hao inquire about the shop is also a gesture, and it doesn't take much effort.
After staying in Wu's Mansion for a while and chatting with Boss Wu and his wife, Ye Hao got up and prepared to leave.
Boss Wu wanted to invite her to lunch before leaving, but Ye Zhen felt that the cooking level of this era was too low, so she made an excuse to shirk it.
After leaving the Wu Mansion, Ye Hao was not in a hurry to go home, but wandered around the streets.
I haven't been to the city for a while, whether it was the last time I went to Jinquan Temple with Aunt Huang to worship the Buddha, or yesterday I rushed to the hospital to see a doctor, she was in a hurry and didn't stay long.
It's just that Lin Bin had already bought it two days ago, and the rice and flour supplies at home were all complete, and she didn't seem to have anything else to do except go shopping.
When she walked to the door of a gambling house, Ye Hao glanced at the little beggar sitting at the door with her head bowed, and the corners of her eyes jumped slightly.
It stands to reason that many villages have been devastated by the recent insect plague.
Although in the end, they came up with their own ideas to curb the disaster, but there were still many villages that suffered losses, which led to more displaced people in the city.
Today, there are one or two beggars in ragged clothes sitting on the side of the road every five or six meters, which is not an unusual sight.
But this little beggar is too young, right? It looks smaller than Zhao Yi.
The little beggar, with his head bowed, cowered in the corner, and did not cry out to the passers-by like the other beggars, but remained silent, as if he were asleep.
The kind-hearted Ye Hao couldn't move anymore, took out a few copper plates from the money bag on his waist, squatted down and threw them into the broken bowl in front of the other party.
A crisp sound came from the broken bowl, and the child seemed to hear it, and looked up a little dumbly, revealing a face covered in mud and numb.
"Thanks, thanks."
The child looks like he is only three or four years old, but his voice is hissier than that of ordinary children
A lot dumber, obviously a voice problem.
No matter how overflowing Ye Hao's mother's love is, she has to suppress her desire to bring someone home.
If she picks it up like this, she'll have to open an orphanage!
silently comforted himself in his heart, he could only do his best to obey the fate of God, these lonely and helpless children are too many in such an era to pick them up.
As soon as she stood up, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came out of her side:
"Mrs. Xie?"
Turning his head to look at the source of the voice, Ye Hao was a little surprised, the person who came turned out to be Song An, who had not dealt with him well before.
Song An shook the folding fan in his hand, looking hot and sweating, looking at the posture, it seemed that he had just come out of the gambling house.
Song An was also extremely shocked that he could meet Ye Hao at the door of the gambling house.
Since he was warned by Mrs. Wu openly and secretly last time, he was forced to give up the idea of continuing to fight with the other party due to the psychological shadow of the other party.
In fact, more importantly, his brother-in-law also knocked himself when he heard about it.
"Well, Boss Song is good."
After saying hello without being salty, Ye Hao got up and left.
Although the other party did not do any substantial harm to herself, Liang Zi was settled, and she was not happy to continue to deal with her.
However, Song An is a good bet?
This discovery made Ye Hao keenly aware that Song An's own sister Song Wan was the culprit who wanted to frame Mrs. Wu.
Since he can't get in touch with Song Wan, perhaps, Song An can also become a breakthrough?
At this time, Song An didn't know that he was being targeted, and he was jumping to his feet angrily for the other party's attitude.
But under the warnings of the two behind him, he couldn't fake the tiger like usual, which made him more and more angry.
"Humph!"
Angry, he turned around and went back into the casino.
Song An was originally not good at gambling, he had a sister of the county lady, and now he is a lot tougher in Song An.
Relying on the name of the county commander's brother-in-law, he managed the drunken immortal building well. didn't expect Ye Hao to appear as soon as she helped Mochizuki Tower rob all her guests.
During this period of time, Song An was very angry and helpless.
Under the bewitchment of some fox friends and dog friends, they began to play in the gambling house.
Ye Hao didn't know about this matter for the time being, but she already wanted to investigate Song An.
With this plan, she didn't stay any longer, rented a carriage and hurried home.
I definitely can't do this by myself, and now there is a strong martial artist at home who has nothing to do.
"Come, I have something to discuss with you."
Avoiding Xie Yunshu and Zhao Yi in the house, Ye Hao pulled Lin Bin aside and whispered.
"Can you do me a favor?" It's just staring at someone, and it might be a little tiring."
Although she often sees such episodes on TV, when this really happened to her, she knew in her heart that it was definitely not an easy job.
Hearing her say this, Lin Bin's resolute face had a trace of doubt, and he nodded immediately.
I have trained in the army, and skills like finding out information are also pointed.
Seeing that he nodded and agreed without saying a word, Ye Hao was naturally grateful in her heart, and then explained:
"This person's name is Song An, and he is the owner of the Drunken Immortal Building in the county seat. I don't need you to keep an eye on him all the time, just keep an eye on him during the day and tell me where he is."
She really couldn't find a breakthrough, so she could only work Song An.
Song Wan is the county lady, and she lives in a shallow way on weekdays, so she must not be able to find clues from her.
And Song An is much easier to say, a restaurant owner, was bumped into by Ye Hao at the door of the gambling house today.
Ye Hao didn't explain too much to Lin Bin, and she didn't say a word about Mrs. Wu.
After all, this matter still has to be kept secret, and there was Song Anhe before
The news of her discord is there, and she is not afraid that Lin Bin will be suspicious.
However, what should be explained still has to be explained.
"Don't tell Xie Yunshu about this, I'm afraid he will worry."
Lin Bin responded to this request without much thought, and his belief in Ye Hao was far more than Xie Yunshu.
After explaining all this, Lin Bin drove the carriage to the city.
This move naturally attracted Xie Yunshu's attention, and Ye Hao had already thought of a reason, only saying that he asked Lin Bin to go to the county town to inquire about the news of the shop.
The matter of opening a shop in the city to sell an improved version of the wooden plough was a matter decided by the two of them, and Xie Yunshu naturally did not doubt it.
Not long after Lin Bin left, another uninvited guest was ushered in at home.
Looking at the exquisite furniture placed on the donkey cart, Ye Hao's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked people to move into the newly built blue brick and tile house.
"Mrs. Xie, I have brought all the furniture you wanted, can you take an inventory?"
Carpenter Zheng came over with a smile, and he really made all the furniture and sent it over within three days as agreed.
And each piece is made according to Ye Hao's requirements.
Not to mention the exquisiteness of the tables and chairs, even the sofa she envisioned was made.
With the technology and materials of the current era, there is definitely no leather and fiber contained in the sofa, so it can only be replaced by others.
However, there are also advantages in this era, cowhides and other things are indeed hard to find, but any wolf skins and other beast skins can be bought for a little money.
Don't go in if you don't have cotton, stuff some wool, it can still play the same role.
Looking at the four-piece sofa set placed in the hall, the snow-white wolf skin, the more Ye Hao looked at it, the more she liked it.
This is much better than modern artificial leather!
After placing all the furniture and counting it, Ye Hao happily paid the balance to the other party, which means that their family can finally move into a new home.
Looking at Ye Hao, who was full of joy, Carpenter Zheng on the side rubbed his hands and pretended to say casually:
"Last time, Mrs. Xie took out a design drawing of a wooden plow, and I was very interested in it, I don't know if I can look at it again?"
Carpenter Zheng is forty-two this year, which is considered an older person in this era, and he has learned carpenter's craft since he was a child, and he has more than 30 years of experience.
He is also often in contact with the production of farm tools, and occasionally puts forward his own ideas to make some reforms.
Therefore, when he saw the improved version of the wooden plough design that Ye Hao took out, the whole person was deeply immersed in it.
Not only because of the ingenious design, but also because of the benefits behind what he saw.
If such a wooden plough is made, it will inevitably be popular in the entire county and even the entire Lingnan region!
Hearing him mention this, Ye Hao also moved her mind and put forward her original idea in a timely manner.
"I got that design by chance. I saw that the wooden plough on the picture was very good, so I thought I would work with you, you would make it and we would sell it, and as for the share, it would be negotiable!"
For Zheng Carpenter's craftsmanship, Ye Hao is still quite convinced. In addition, the two sides have worked together a few more times, and she doesn't want to find someone else.
Cooperate?
Carpenter Zheng's eyes rolled, he originally thought that the other party didn't know the subtleties of that drawing, so he would be so casually mixed in a pile of drawings!
