Chapter Twenty-Three: Progress
Shang Ge hastily ended the topic and said, "Brother Shen, now that the money has arrived, please prepare a note, and I will sign it for you." ”
Shen Wanhao was not happy, he said: "Oh~, Brother Shang has seen the outside, it's only five hundred taels, it's just a drop in the bucket for me, even if you take it, where do you need any notes." "In the end, it is the son of Shen San, the god of wealth in the world, this spirit is not ordinary.
Shang Ge also pointed to the stupid son of this landlord's family, where would he look at this bit of silver in his eyes, and when he heard the words, he didn't agree, and the implication was that if Shen Wanhao didn't agree to make a note, he wouldn't want this money.
In the end, Shen Wanhao failed to turn Shang Ge, and after the two sides made a note, Shang Ge left with the five hundred taels.
Shen Wanhao also recognized this friend from his heart because of this incident, from childhood to adulthood, because Qian deliberately had a lot of people close to him, but Shang Ge was obviously not, so after Shang Ge left, he directly burned the note worth five hundred taels of silver, and made up his mind to ask Shang Ge to drink flower wine with him another day.
After Shang Ge came out here, the whole person was like a clockwork machine, tirelessly running between the workshops, he wanted to make the first batch of sanitary napkins, and now he had limited funds in his hands, so he didn't dare to put all of them into the first production, after all, he hadn't had much contact with this thing before, because the amount of production was too small, it was still something that he had never heard of before, so no one was willing to take his order.
In the end, Shang Ge found a small workshop on the verge of bankruptcy, the elderly boss had planned to go back to his hometown in the past few days, and was packing up his belongings, holding the idea that fly legs are also meat, and took this order, which can be regarded as earning some travel expenses.
It's done here, Shang Ge went to personally select cotton seeds non-stop, he is very bloody in this regard, everything is the top, if it weren't for no one to take his order, even the workshop he wanted to order the best, as a result, just set the materials and the wages of the workshop, this money went to more than half, and the cost was far beyond his imagination.
Now there is another problem, the waterproof membrane used in sanitary napkins is not available in this world at all, and Shang Ge doesn't know how to get that thing, but this is not difficult for Shang Ge.
In the small workshop, Shang Ge waited anxiously, and finally, at sunset, the little old man of the boss and worker took out the finished product, the top of the thing was a layer of ordinary satin, through the satin, and the bottom was paved with three layers of cotton compressed to the extreme, and the cotton was smeared with a layer of resin to make waterproof, and then a layer of satin was added at the bottom layer, and the surrounding was smashed tightly by needles and threads, and this inferior sanitary napkin was considered to be done.
Shang Ge is just an ordinary person, don't look at the inferior quality of this thing, it is far inferior to the modern genuine product, but it is indeed the ultimate he can think of.
The thing is made, but I don't know what the effect is, Shang Ge thought of this, and couldn't wait to pour a glass of water to test it, and the result was surprisingly good, I don't know how much cotton was compressed, and a glass of water poured down didn't leak at all, but the weight increased a little, so far, Shang Ge finally put his mind at ease.
Although this thing is simple, it can really be said to be expensive, just this thin piece, the cost price is close to one or two silver, which is not the salary.
At this time, it was getting late, and there was a light rain in the sky, Shang Ge simply didn't go back, anyway, he had to come over tomorrow, saving trouble, he asked the boss to process overnight, and he found a small stall to eat casually, and fell asleep in the workshop.
On the other side of the sky, it was also rainy at this time, and there were almost no pedestrians in the entire sect, only the lights were shining faintly like fireflies.
Qian Hui was not sleepy at this time, after learning the magical algorithm, her speed of reconciliation doubled, it was a few points faster than Shang Ge, a thick account book, she could finish it within a stick of incense, at this time it was a critical moment, so much effort was about to see the results, where could she sleep.
It was pitch black outside the windowsill, and in the sound of the dripping rain, a candlestick illuminated the whole room, Qian Hui's delicate little face was buried on the desk by a mountain of account books, her eyes were bright, and her hands quickly turned over page after page of account books, and suddenly, she stopped moving.
How many days and nights have passed, and she now finally knows who is behind the trouble, thanks to Shang Ge, otherwise she would not have been able to find it so easily.
A name she couldn't imagine, Cang Jinlan, a first-line heaven stationed in Qingshui Town, in charge of all the business expenses of the sect outside, and the recent accounts went wrong with him.
This person Qian Hui is familiar, Cang Jinlan is not a disciple of the first line of heaven, their family has lived in the first line of heaven for a long time, three generations of slaves, has always been loyal, in the last sect shock, Cang Jinlan's parents died heroically, and he himself almost died in order to protect the two young ladies, it can be said that he is very loyal.
The Qian family did not treat him badly, not only helped him heal his injuries, but also entrusted him with a heavy responsibility and left him in Qingshui Town to enjoy Qingfu.
Qian Hui couldn't believe that such a person would betray the sect, but the facts were right in front of her, so she couldn't believe it, if it wasn't for the fact that it was late at night, she planned to go to Cang Jinlan to confront now, ask what was going on, looking at the rain outside the window, she finally dispelled this idea, or wait for tomorrow.
With a stomach full of questions, Qian Hui fell asleep.
The next day, Qian Hui got up early in the morning, she didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so she rushed to Qingshui Town and found Cang Jinlan.
Cang Jinlan also just got up, and was having breakfast at this time, when she saw the eldest lady in person, she quickly knelt down and saluted.
Qian Hui looked at the honest-looking man in front of her and examined it for a long time, until now she couldn't believe that it would be him who embezzled the sect's huge amount of money.
Qian Hui thought to herself: "Could it be that Cang Jinlan is in a high position, and her mentality has slowly changed, so she did such a wrong thing?"
However, she looked around and dispelled this thought, the most valuable thing in the whole room was the table with the food, and there was a gap missing on the side, which could be said to be shabby.
You must know that Cang Jinlan's position, casually missing a finger, is enough for him to buy a new house.
She raised her hand to Cang Jinlan and said, "Get up." I also found a random chair and sat down.
Cang Jinlan got up at this time, stood aside in a proper manner, and waited for the master to ask.
Qian Hui sat on the chair and said gently and sternly: "I came here this time mainly to ask about the funds in the door, why this year's sales are almost half less than in previous years, do you know about this." ”
Cang Jinlan was stunned when she heard this, and said: "The villain doesn't know, maybe it's caused by the bad times in recent years." ”
Bad times?
This is really a good excuse, but there is no way to argue, if this thing is really done by him, then after all, it has been closed, and for a while, Qian Hui had a headache.
Qian Hui sank his face and said: "The first line of heaven is not a new sect, and the war-torn years have also been experienced a few times, you know these best, even when the years are the worst, there has never been such a huge deviation, Cang Jinlan, you are also an old man in the door, if you take the initiative to say it now, read on your hard work for so many years, I can guarantee that you are fine, but if it is found out by the door, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
That Cang Jinlan seemed to have been greatly insulted, he trembled with excitement, and said angrily: "The eldest lady is not suspicious of the villain, I once strongly opposed the sect master to let me do this foreign station, I know that I don't have this ability, now since the eldest lady thinks that this matter is related to the villain, then Jinlan has nothing to say." ”
With that aggrieved appearance, Qian Hui was also a little difficult to judge whether it was true or false.
She didn't want to believe that Cang Jinlan had stolen the sect's resources, and when she was thinking about what to say, she only heard Cang Jinlan continue: "The villain is willing to take the blame and dismiss the position of the resident outside the door, and only ask the eldest lady to agree to a small request from the villain for the sake of the villain's service for so many years." ”
Qian Hui said: "Tell me about it. ”
Cang Jinlan didn't know what she thought, the anger on her face disappeared in an instant, and she unconsciously leaked a happy smile, he said: "The villain has a lover in Qingshui Town, and when he was temporarily in charge of the affairs outside the sect before, he felt that he had already climbed her, and now she is about to get married, can you leave two faces for Jinlan, and allow the villain to resign from the position of the resident after marriage." ”
"Cang Jinlan is also getting married? What a coincidence, there have been many happy events in the door recently. Qian Hui remembered the courtship scene in the sect yesterday and thought to herself.
