But God seemed to be joking with Wen Chen on purpose, and as soon as the sky was bright, there was a brisk footstep on the hardstone slab in the alley outside the door.

After only hearing a few knocks on the door, Tan Yuan curled outside and shouted, "Wen Chen, open the door quickly, Miss Ben has brought you breakfast!" ”

"Damn!"

Wen Chen couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

I'm really afraid of something!

"I disagree! How can a big girl with yellow flowers casually go in and out of a place like Wanhualou? ”

Mr. Mo glanced at him lightly, "Then you can find a way to go by yourself, this busy old man won't help." ”

"If you don't help, you won't help!"

It's like I can't live without you, master!

Wen Chen's temper also came up, he was inexplicably coerced by this old man to kill Wei Cheng, and he was already aggrieved, if he listened to him again this time, the second lady would also be involved in this pile of, in case something happened, it would really be too late to even take the regret medicine!

The bodyguards around Wei Cheng are definitely not good stubble, let alone a bunch of straw bales, with the psychological quality of the second lady, let alone drugging the old eunuch, she herself is already burning high incense if she is not poured by the medicine!

"Wen Chen, are you awake? Open the door for Miss Ben! ”

Tan curled outside the door and urged, listening to the tone, it seems that he is in a good mood today.

"Here we go!"

Wen Chen replied, got up and glared at Mr. Mo, and walked towards the door, just about to raise his hand to open the door bolt, when he suddenly saw a familiar gray shadow running on the courtyard wall.

The movements of the hands couldn't help but slow down by half a beat!

Well?

Wen Chen's eyes rolled, and he took it to heart, grinning at the corners of his mouth and pointing at Mr. Mo on the steps behind him, and said loudly:

"Brother Cat, look, your enemy is here!"

The gray cat on the courtyard wall suddenly stopped, as if he understood Wen Chen's words, and looked back in the direction of the old man.

The next moment, two glass-like eyes erupted with strong hatred!

Gently stepping on the red tile on the wall, the gray cat landed lightly in the yard, kicked on its hind feet, made a sharp cat meow in its mouth, and pounced in the direction of the old man!

Mr. Mo's ears moved slightly, a touch of surprise flashed on his face, and there was a little helplessness, and he hurriedly stuffed the last few peanuts into his mouth, and got up to protect his wine bottle.

"Hey! You stinky cat, dare to do it? ”

"Meow——, Meow Meow—"

"Damn, you're still scolding you so badly, you ate last night?"

"Meow meow—"

"Don't think that the old man can't beat you, the old man will save face for you!"

"Grass! Don't touch the old man's wine! ”

One person and one cat suddenly made a mess.

Tan Xuan, who was let in by Wen Chen, looked at the chaotic fight scene in front of him with a blank expression, and asked curiously:

"Wen Chen, what are they doing?"

Wen Chen pretended to touch his chin deeply, "It should be a negotiation......

Negotiation?

Tan Yuanxuan was even more confused, "With a cat...... Negotiation? ”

"Hehe...... it's not an ordinary cat, it's my dearest relatives and friends, siblings......"

It's still my cat brother who is righteous, knowing that there are difficulties below, and once again choosing to burn himself and stand up, which is really an example for the animal world!

When the second lady took out the food from the food box and put it on the stone table in the courtyard, the battle at the door was finally decided.

In the end, Mr. Mo was still a step ahead, and when he was scratched three blood marks on his face, he suddenly exerted his strength and captured the opponent!

"You kid is cheating!"

The old man panted and pinched the cat's neck, and the gray cat under his hand was stiff and unable to move, only his eyes were still dripping.

Wen Chen chuckled, "Mr. Mo only said that whoever was the first to step into the courtyard let him go on a mission, but he didn't say that this "who" has to be human, right?" ”

"You have to talk and count, train this cat brother well, in case the mission fails, you can't blame me!"

But to Wen Chen's surprise, Mr. Mo did not refuse the seemingly fantastical idea of letting the cat belly, but just snorted angrily, did not see anything outside, picked up chopsticks and sat in front of a pile of exquisite meals.

"Eat elbows for breakfast, which connoisseur invented this recipe?"

"Belly popping kidney flower plus fat intestines?"

"A little greasy...... two more beers!"

Tan frowned on the side, with a reluctant face, this was specially prepared for Wen Chen, let you get rid of it, forget it, you still pick and choose?

"You don't want to eat don't ......"

"Huh?" Wen Chen gently raised his hand to interrupt, "This Mr. Mo is the benefactor of the second young lady, don't be rude!" ”

Benefactor? What favor did this old man Hanako give me?

Tan Yuan was at a loss for a while, but when he saw Wen Chen beside him shaking his head slightly, he had to temporarily suppress his curiosity.

Fortunately, the old man graphite is quite particular, and he only eats half of the meat dishes on the table, like the elbow, half of the bones and sticks that have been left, and the other half, even a chopstick has not moved, and it is as good as ever!

Mr. Mo, who was full of wine and food, burped comfortably, and suddenly felt refreshed.

The cat next to his feet barked aggrievedly a few times, and was suddenly slipped up by a big hand.

"Half an hour before the work, a yellow firework will be set off at the mouth of the alley on the east side, and the old man will go there when he sees it."

"yes, got it."

Wen Chen nodded.

Graphite casually picked up a branch from the ground and put it in his mouth, and turned his head slightly when he passed by Tan Xuan.

"The meal is good, the old man wrote it down."

After that, a small assistant ran up the courtyard wall, but he didn't want to loosen a tile under his arm, and one was unstable and planted head-down.

Immediately there was a shout of pain and scolding from outside the wall, like a ruffian hooligan on the side of the street.

The corners of Tan's mouth twitched, "This person is ......, why doesn't he look very reliable......"

Wen Chen shook his head helplessly, because he didn't want Tan Yuan to get too involved in this matter, so he immediately diverted the topic.

"Did your father go to Li Youcai?"

Tan curled up, "Before dawn, my father took the gift and dragged my mother to the Li Mansion." ”

"But as you said yesterday, my Tan family really can't do cloth business in the future?"

Wen Chen said while using chopsticks to point the food on the table and stuff it into his mouth, "Now only Li Youcai and my Wen's cloth workshop in Qingcheng have the right to use the hydraulic textile machine, even if there is only a six-month use period every year, but we can still compress the cost to a point that ordinary people seem to be unreasonable, and then subsidize some profits to consumers in winter, Qingcheng's cloth business will be in the future for a long time, and others will not be able to compete with us." ”

"It's for your own good not to let you go all the way to the dark."

Based on the current productivity of the hydraulic textile machine, only Wen Chen and Li Youcai need to make some additional investment to build hundreds of more machines, and two months of time is enough to consume all the orders that Qingcheng cloth merchants can receive before the beginning of spring next year.

Coupled with the almost negligible labor cost advantage, if many cloth merchants in Qingcheng do not hurry up to transform, I am afraid that in a few months, they will soon enter the cold winter period like this season!

Tan Yuan was stunned, she had heard the housekeeper in the house say that with the sudden rise of Wen's cloth workshop recently, the cloth business was not as easy as before.

But I didn't expect it to be so serious, a few small machines would subvert Qingcheng's old business for nearly a hundred or thousands of years!

"How's that to be? My Tan family has been weaving cloth for generations, and it's not so easy to change careers......"

Tan Yuan said worriedly.

The corners of Wen Chen's mouth turned up, and he chuckled, "Since you can't steal other people's business, it's better to open a new business and do it yourself!" ”
