Chapter 117 Opening Mountains and Quarrying Stones, Earning Big Money (4)
Yu Niang's heart was warm, and she couldn't help laughing, "Don't you think about your mother? Your mother's body is not very good!"

Zhiqing was silent, he had forgotten this.

Yu Niang just laughed, "Anyway, both inside and outside the house are our family's business venues, so there is no need to worry. If it is not like this, they will sell together, and then we will pay them wages for the money earned. That would be better. Is it? Fifty Wen a day, and if the business is good, or if it is a holiday, we can pay a little more wages."

Zhiqing was a little surprised, she didn't expect that she would come up with such an idea.

After a while, Zhiqing praised: "Yu Niang, you are really smart."

Yuniang smiled and narrowed her eyes, she didn't speak, but leaned on Zhiqing's back, and began to think about what to buy.

The two had just arrived in Wujia Town when they ran into Dalin.

Dalin was a little excited, "Young Master Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, why are you here?"

Yuniang thought it was a little funny, and Dalin had a good temper, but he was a little taken aback.

"Why are we so excited when we come to buy some goods?"

Dalin scratched his head in embarrassment, and then said: "My lord has not been in a good temper these days, but Butler Wu said that it was because our lord failed to see the dried rice field eel sent by his wife, that's why..."

Yuniang couldn't help laughing, "Does Xiaozheng miss me so much? Ah Qing, why don't we go and see Xiaozheng first?"

Zhiqing nodded, since they are here anyway, there is no harm in going to have a look.Maybe there are other benefits too.

Dalin was so excited that he led the bullock cart and swaggered through the market.

Butler Wu had just come out, and when he saw Yuniang and the others coming, his face was immediately filled with a smile, and he came forward and said, "Mrs. Xiao, you are here."

Yuniang laughed, probably, Mrs. Wu also made his head big because of Mrs. Xiaozheng, that's why he was so excited to see her come.

"How is it? Little Zheng has been very angry these days?"

Butler Wu immediately turned dark, thinking about his lord's uncertain face these two days, he was a little depressed, but he still defended his lord very much, so he said: "Master Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, my lord misses you very much. please."

Yu Niang walked in with a smile.

In the front hall, Mrs. Xiaozheng was looking at the documents impatiently. When she heard footsteps, she roared, "Didn't I not let you in? Get out of here."

Yuniang laughed out loud immediately, "Little Zhengtai, I haven't seen you for a few days, why don't you grow taller, and just focus on growing your temper?"

Xiaozheng raised her head and saw Yuniang standing in front of him with a smile, she couldn't help being stunned, "Why are you here?"

"I heard that you have lost your temper, so I took some time out of my busy schedule to visit you. How is it? I treat you well, right?" Yu Niang said with a smile.

Xiao Zhengtai immediately blushed, glared at Yuniang angrily, and said through gritted teeth, "What are you talking about? My husband is by my side and I don't know how to restrain myself!"

Yu Niang burst out laughing, "I didn't say anything excessive, so why worry?"

Mrs. Xiaozheng glared at her angrily, but did not speak.

"Okay, let's stop teasing you, how about it? Have you been worrying about the salt production?" Yuniang found a seat and sat down, and said something.

Zhiqing was slightly taken aback, thinking she was just here to see Mrs. Xiaozheng, but she didn't expect that she came here for this matter.

"How do you know?" Xiao Zhengtai was also slightly taken aback, and then asked vigilantly.

"I'm smart."

Mrs. Xiaozheng rolled her eyes, glared at her, and said, "A few days ago, someone brought pastries to my house, and they said it was from Madam Xiao."

Yu Niang frowned slightly, then remembered some words she had said, and smiled, "Then what? Did you eat?"

"That person stayed at my house for half an hour before leaving at last." Mrs. Xiaozheng looked at her with a half-smile.

Yu Niang snorted coldly, "This shows that he is interested in you."

The expression on Xiaozheng's face was cracked.

Yu Niang also laughed, and then said seriously: "I said something when I was in Pingcheng, I often bring you pastries, and I will come to your house every now and then, so I am quite familiar with you."

Xiaozheng frowned and did not speak.

"This shows that someone wants to fish in troubled waters. Be careful yourself. If you don't want to reveal the secret, you don't need to say more." Yuniang reminded that although Xiao Zhengtai is capable, he is a foreigner. If Ling used some despicable methods to deal with him, he would probably find it difficult.

"The person who can fish in troubled waters in front of me has not yet been born."

Looking at Xiaozheng's unruly eyes and stern face, Yuniang knew that she was meddling in her own business.

"It's okay, then I will go to my business first." Yuniang said, and got up.Wujia Town is not close to Xiaojia Village, and it will take a little longer to travel, so they have to start earlier.

"It's almost noon now, stay for dinner." Xiaozheng opened his mouth too.

Is this the tone of keeping people for dinner?
Yuniang sighed in her heart: Little Zhengtai, little Zhengtai, didn't your mother teach you how to keep guests?

However, for the sake of his loneliness, Yu Niang decided to stay for dinner: "Okay, then hurry up and get someone to serve you."

Mrs. Xiaozheng gave her a disdainful look, and then told Butler Wu: "Go to Fengmingxuan to order a table of dishes and deliver them."

Yu Niang almost bowed down, isn't this little lady right?Zhang's residence is only a few steps away from Fengmingxuan, yet he still wants someone to send it over.

Alas, I didn't expect that there will be takeaways available at this time, what a blessing!

"You mentioned before that you knew how to increase the production of salt, didn't you?" After Butler Wu retreated, Xiao Zhengtai asked with a serious expression.

Yu Niang nodded, "I know a little bit."

Zhiqing didn't speak, just listened to the two talking back and forth.

"Tell me, what needs to be done?" Xiaozheng said without hesitation.

Yu Niang just picked up the teacup to drink tea, and almost sprayed water.

Putting down the teacup, Yu Niang tried to calm herself down, and then asked, "I said, Mrs. Zheng, you haven't learned how to ask people?"

Xiaozheng raised his eyebrows, as if he was very puzzled by her words.

"Your mother didn't teach you what to do when you need help from others?" Yu Niang asked curiously.

Mrs. Xiaozheng's complexion changed slightly, she pursed her lips, looked at her sharply, and did not speak.

A thought flashed through Yuniang's mind, she looked at Xiao Zhengtai's face, and realized that she might have said something wrong, so she coughed lightly and said, "I do know how to increase the production of salt, but I don't think I should tell you. That's right. You and I are just acquaintances, right? What good will it do me if I say it? Maybe it will provoke the government, so I won't be so stupid."
