Chapter 20 Slippery Tire
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, behind Mrs. Lu, Yu Qingzhi poked her head out and stared at the eldest and younger brothers with interest.
never thought that her ungentle appearance would be seen by her sister-in-law, who she had always admired, He Wanyue's face turned red.
"Sister-in-law, Mrs. Mountain Chief, why are you here? If you look at new embroidery, just say, my sister can embroider any pattern! He Lancheng poked his head out from behind his sister, cheekily stepped forward to greet him, and praised his sister hard.
But his praise made He Wanyue even more embarrassed, only to see He Wanyue pull his sleeve and say, "Go and bring some hot water, don't lose your courtesy." ”
After He Lancheng left, He Wanyue blushed and said to Mrs. Lu: "My younger brother is a big ghost, which makes Mrs. Lu smile." ”
"He should be naughty at his age, so you don't have to hold him back." Perhaps because she was pregnant, Mrs. Lu was extremely tolerant of Helan Cheng.
Yu Qingzhi saw that He Wanyue was still a little shy, so she took the initiative to step forward and said, "Speaking of which, Wanyue, you are not very old, you don't have to be like a little adult." ”
"Shopkeeper Yu is right, when I was as old as you, I hadn't met Jin Yuan, so I went up to the tree to dig birds, went down to the river to catch fish, and came to everything." Mrs. Lu said and covered her mouth embarrassedly and smiled, "Your little girls today are much quieter than we were then, but we are old!" ”
Hearing these words that were quite elder-like, Yu Qingzhi looked at Mrs. Lu, who was not a few years older than herself, and felt that she was not small for the first time.
However, she had a sweet mouth and coaxed: "Mrs. Lu is not a few years older than our Wanyue, why is she old?" How is it good for you to call me this one in the middle? ”
"I don't believe you, the second girl said that Helan Cheng is a big ghost, and I have a lot of ghost ideas to see you, and I just said what pregnant women and confinement meals, but I really heard it! Mrs. Zhou said that you have excellent cooking skills, I don't know if I have the blessing to be able to taste the pregnant woman meal you said? ”
Mrs. Lu tilted her head, and looked at Yu Qingzhi with fawn-like eyes, obviously a few years older than her, but under Lu Jinyuan's favor, she was still like a little girl, which was really enviable.
There are no advanced scientific instruments in this world, so naturally it is impossible to cook a standard pregnant woman's meal, but it is still possible to satisfy Mrs. Lu's appetite.
Yu Qingzhi thanked her from the bottom of her heart, and agreed, "When Mrs. Lu wants to eat it one day, let people know, and I will come to cook for you personally." ”
"That's settled." Mrs. Lu raised her hand and clapped her hands lightly, "High-fives are proof, but you are not allowed to break your promise." ”
After speaking, she walked around the shop with He Wanyue, leaving Yu Qingzhi looking at her hands and laughing silently.
Mrs. Lu's temperament is quite similar to that of women in the new era, and she also loves to get along with such people, with a vivid sense of reality.
It's just that Yu Qingzhi didn't ignore Mrs. Lu's words, she said that Zhou Niangzi praised her cooking skills, but Yu Qingzhi didn't remember when she had cooked her own food for Zhou Niangzi.
Zhou Niangzi praised herself again and again in front of Mrs. Lu, what is the purpose?
Just when Yu Qingzhi was puzzled, a pair of little fat hands suddenly behind her pushed her violently.
Yu Qingzhi was thin and undefended, but he was pushed by him, staggering into the corner of the cupboard, and the sharp corner scraped her arm through the fabric, causing her to burst into tears and gasp.
"Why are you standing in the way of this? I can't even get in! The culprit who did the action also justifiably blamed Yu Qingzhi for standing at the door and blocking his way.
Hearing the movement, Mrs. Lu and He Wanyue turned around and saw the little fat man who was doing it, Mrs. Lu frowned, and then remembered, "Wen Jinbao, so decent, how can you push people?" ”
Hearing Mrs. Lu's voice, Wen Jinbao looked up, instantly frightened and didn't dare to move, rubbed his hands stiffly, pointed at Yu Qingzhi and said, "It's he standing here blocking my way, Mrs. Lu, I know it's wrong, I shouldn't have pushed her." ”
Just now, his commanding voice was still ringing in Yu Qingzhi's ears, and when she saw Mrs. Lu change her face again, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, what kind of world is this, there are two faces at a young age?
"I know it's wrong, why don't you apologize to Shopkeeper Yu soon?" Mrs. Lu's voice was soft, but extremely oppressive.
Wen Jinbao stared at Yu Qingzhi deadly, his eyes were extraordinary, gloomy, as if he was going to kill Yu Qingzhi.
But after a while, he reluctantly walked up to Yu Qingzhi and apologized angrily: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I just wanted to come over and buy a backpack, today I saw that Helan Cheng's bag is beautiful, I haven't seen it in my mother's embroidery workshop." Shopkeeper Yu, don't drive me out. ”
Just by Fang Cai's eyes, Yu Qingzhi knew that this child was not thinking right, and he seemed to have a holiday with himself.
This kid was chubby, standing at the door like a small mountain bag, and there was a pregnant woman in the store, Yu Qingzhi didn't want to cause trouble, so he smiled and exposed the matter, and told him that there were no backpacks for sale, and asked him to come back in a few days, and then sent people away.
Waiting for Wen Jinbao to leave, Mrs. Lu explained to Yu Qingzhi: "This child is the son of Zhou Niangzi, Zhou Niangzi is a kind person, and somehow raised such a demon king of the mixed world. ”
Hearing Mrs. Lu's evaluation of Mrs. Zhou, Yu Qingzhi and He Wanyue looked at each other, changed their eyes, and no one spoke.
Mrs. Lu cared about Yu Qingzhi's wound, and in order not to delay her to take medicine, she bought two handkerchiefs and left.
Several people in the shop were paying attention to Yu Qingzhi's injury, and no one noticed that when Mrs. Lu was afraid, a round and rumbling figure flashed through the door, and returned to the Zhoujia embroidery workshop next door along the sealed wooden door of the Agarwood Incense Shop.
As soon as he arrived in the backyard, Wen Jinbao rushed over and pushed open the door of Zhou Niangzi, and shouted: "Mother, I saw it, Mrs. Lu is holding a pomegranate flower handkerchief, which is the pomegranate flower embroidered by He Wanyue before!" ”
"Why are you so loud, dead boy? Scare the old lady! Zhou Niangzi poked her son's skull angrily, "I know, don't tell anyone about this matter, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!" ”
"Then did you promise me to buy my backpack?" Wen Jinbao threw himself beside Mrs. Zhou and coquettishly, and her lotus-like fat arms wrapped around Zhou Niangzi, almost overwhelming Zhou Niangzi.
"Buy! Buy! Buy! ”
Zhou Niangzi hurriedly escaped from under her son's hands, then rolled her eyes, and said: "But you still have to help your mother do one thing, promise me not to tell others, and I will buy you that backpack." ”
As soon as Wen Jinbao heard the backpack, he immediately nodded as if he was pounding garlic, and he didn't think about what Mrs. Zhou asked him to do.
Yu Qingzhi didn't know what happened in the backyard of the Zhou family's embroidery workshop, she took over the business of the Agarwood Incense Shop, and asked Erni to help He Wanyue sew backpacks.
Although the backpack has a simple appearance, it has a lot of details, and it is impossible to keep two people and four hands busy.
Yu Qingzhi simply recruited the embroidery girls who sold embroidery to He Ji Embroidery Village, and according to the distribution of modern workshops, each person was responsible for a link, which greatly improved efficiency, and sewed out twelve schoolbags in one day.
These schoolbags have long been booked in He Ji Embroidery Village, just finished and were bought, a schoolbag to remove the cost of fabric, as well as the salary of the embroiderer, but also net three hundred copper plates!
He Wanyue wrapped these copper plates in red cloth, looked at the embroidery girls who were cross-headed, and came to her sister-in-law and asked: "The backpack is simple to make, and those embroiderers have learned it in one day, what if they take the job in private?" ”
"Then let them pick it up." Yu Qingzhi didn't care, "Our things sell well, naturally someone will steal them, rather than letting others take advantage of the loopholes, it is better to give these embroidery girls who know the roots." ”
While talking, Yu Qingzhi glanced at Erni and saw that she was handing over her handkerchief to Yang Mengyao and chatting hotly.
That Yang Mengyao has sharp facial features and sharp eyes, and she is a decisive person when she looks at it.
Others don't know, but Yu Qingzhi can be sure that Yang Mengyao will definitely take over the work privately, but in this way, it is better to be a good person in advance.
So Yu Qingzhi said something in He Wanyue's ear, He Wanyue thought about it, walked over to Erni and said, "You have made backpacks all day, although you are responsible for different things, you should be able to roughly write them down." If you want to earn this money yourself, you can hang a name in He Ji Embroidery Village, and then the guests will order backpacks, I will send this business to you alone, and I will take two percent of the profits from each business, and the rest will belong to you, what do you think? ”
Yang Mengyao rolled her eyes when she heard this, and she couldn't hide her shrewd appearance.
She didn't say anything, but Erni muttered, "I'm clumsy, I can't embroider such a beautiful pattern, and I can't sell it for much money, so it's better to divide labor, although I earn less, but I don't have to worry about business." ”
Before she spoke, there were many embroidery girls who were ready to move, wanting to leave He Ji Xiuzhuang and go alone, but when they heard Erni's words, they instantly became dumbfounded.
Yes, although they are good at embroidering alone, it is not easy to make a whole backpack, and when the time comes, they will ruin their reputation, but the gains outweigh the losses.
Seeing that they refused one after another, Yang Mengyao gritted her teeth in anger on the side, and scolded these people in her heart for being cowards.
But no one else came out, and she didn't say anything at all.
When He Wanyue spoke, Yu Qingzhi had been paying attention to them, so he took Yang Mengyao's reaction into his eyes.
How strange this reaction looked, Yu Qingzhi was ready to observe for a few more days.
But she hadn't figured out Yang Mengyao yet, but she waited for the official errand.
At noon that day, Yu Qingzhi was about to go to Hulu's stall to buy some braised pork and drink seeds, when a group of officials suddenly broke into the shop and shouted, "Who of you is Yu Qingzhi?" ”
"I am." Yu Qingzhi raised his head and faced the officer, "The official has something to do with me?" ”
The official was about to say cruel words, but suddenly remembered that the county master said that he couldn't offend this little ancestor, so he had to put away the fierce look on his face, and said: "Someone bought a handkerchief from you, but the handkerchief was stained with red flowers, which almost caused people to slip and now the bitter master is suing in the yamen!" Come on, bring her back to the mansion for me, and send her down after hearing it! ”
Somehow, hearing the news, Yu Qingzhi subconsciously thought of Mrs. Lu.
This time, the official had a gentle attitude, and Yu Qingzhi dared to talk to them with the guts, "Dare to ask the official, is the bitter master surnamed Lu?" ”
"So you know? It seems that you have premeditated! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take her to the government! With a wave of his hand, the official immediately took Yu Qingzhi away.
"Did you catch the wrong person? How could my sister-in-law harm Mrs. Lu! He Wanyue stepped forward to explain, but was blocked by Yu Qingzhi halfway through her words.
"It's okay, they just follow the rules, and when I go to the court, the truth will be revealed, you close the store and go to Lian Jun." Yu Qingzhi smiled and comforted her.
Although he was so flustered, Yu Qingzhi felt inexplicably relieved when he thought of He Lianjun.
They will surely find evidence to prove their innocence.
