The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 188
Naturally, everyone should be, and they helped unload and salute, and went up the mountain surrounded by their returning relatives.

Xiaomi and her father went directly to Shengfuju. Hongmei was very diligent and quick, and took good care of the courtyard.

At this moment, the master came back, burned the ground dragon and the big kang, and brought a pot of hot water to make tea. After a while, the members of the Lu family sat around in the warm room and talked.

Lu Er Er has rough skin and thick flesh. After running to the south for a month, not only did he not lose weight, but he became stronger.

On the contrary, Boss Lu and Yuexian had lost a lot of weight, and their expressions were full of tiredness, mixed with a bit of frustration.

frustrated?

Xiaomi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt that the matter of running the workshop might not be going well.

Sure enough, Boss Lu admitted his mistake when he opened his mouth, "Father, Xiaomi, I decided to stop the workshop in the south, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go there in the next year. I didn't take care of the business at home, it's all my fault."

"No, don't blame your husband, I'm also at fault. I'm too fussy..."

Before Boss Lu could finish speaking, Chen Yuexian rushed to admit his mistake, which made everyone even more puzzled.

"What's your fault? I can see clearly. The Liu family's management is good. It's the fault of that kid from the Cheng family. They can eat all the goods in their eighteen restaurants. It's just a joke. They just stock up and resell. What a high price!"

Lu Er Er had a bad temper, slapped the table, and cursed loudly, "Cheng Er Er looks good, how come there is such a big brother, what a wicked son who has no asshole!"

"Shut up!" Father Lu couldn't hear his son speak so rudely, let alone with his daughter and daughter-in-law present, he frowned and scolded them, and finally kicked them off, "It's enough if you have your elder brother and sister-in-law talking here, you go up the mountain .”

"Got it, I just happened to be hungry too. Xiaomi, there's food left at home!"

Lu's second son was impatient to talk about these trifles, and seeing his father angry, he turned to his sister for food.

Xiaomi hurriedly said, "I didn't know you came back, and you didn't prepare so many meals. But these days, you made frozen dumplings, and you asked Qinghua Qingyu to cook more, and sent two plates to the eldest brother and sister-in-law to pad their stomachs."

"it is good."

Lu Er Er got up, opened the door and ran away.If he didn't leave again, he was afraid that Father Lu would be so annoyed that he would punish him for copying books, which would cause him more pain than running across the mountain with a rock on his back.

Xiaomi shook his head, got up and closed the door tightly, and when he turned around, he saw that there were only a few members of his family in the room.Only then did he ask, "Brother, tell me carefully, what's going on? After all, this workshop is a collaboration with the family of two classmates and friends of the third brother. If it is not handled properly, it may affect the third brother."

Boss Lu felt even more guilty when he heard this. He wanted to speak but his mouth was clumsy, and he didn't know where to start.

It was Chen Yuexian who took the matter over, "Let me tell you, your elder brother is probably busy in the workshop, and I handle all the accounts."

"Okay, let my sister-in-law be tired."

"Speaking of which, when I first arrived in Quanzhou, everything went smoothly. The Liu family sold the land, bought servants and signed death contracts, and built three workshops in total. Land eggs are cheap and easy to buy, and those servants gave some good The food is paid again, and the work is not lazy. The goods will be shipped soon, which is much more than here at home.

There are many restaurants in Cheng's family, and they started to introduce new dishes according to the recipes they brought home, and brought other restaurants to start buying like crazy.In less than half a month, people from other prefectures began to come looking for them, and the money was returned like water.Your eldest brother and I are overjoyed. The folks brought by the family are divided into three workshops to be stewards, and no one makes trouble. They are all determined to work hard and return home.

But the good times didn't last long. A month later, I went to the city to buy daily necessities. I heard from passers-by that there was an urgent shortage of vermicelli and cornstarch in several prefectures, and the price was already two taels of silver a catty.Obviously, the workshop shipped every day, and the price of one tael per catty never changed.I suspected that the Cheng family hoarded the goods privately and raised the price. I discussed with your elder brother and asked someone to check it out. As a result, before we could do anything, the Liu family asked us to talk.

These servants are all experienced hands in the workshop, needless to say, they are very familiar with the method of making vermicelli and cornstarch, and they can build another workshop almost immediately after buying them.I asked your eldest brother carefully for a long time, and the Liu family finally told the truth, saying that the buyer is the steward of the eldest son of the Cheng family.

The three families are in partnership, our family provides secret methods, the Liu family provides land and manpower, and the Cheng family sells through channels.It's too bad for our family when something like this happens, and it's on other people's territory.I discussed it with your elder brother, and I feel that this workshop may not last long.So everyone started to work day and night, working hard, and produced [-] catties of vermicelli and [-] catties of cornstarch in two months.

When the second brother passed by, he had just finished his work.The Cheng family knew that we were going to split up and go home. Master Cheng took the opportunity to lower the price under the pretext that the sales were not good, and only gave five cents a catty, and he wanted to take all the vermicelli and cornstarch that he said he had.I was the main second brother to find a buyer. The Liu family's [-]% bonus was discounted, and our family's goods were sold directly.

As for the Cheng family's bonus, their last payment for the goods was not recorded, which happened to be enough for [-]% of the bonus. "

Chen Yuexian said that his mouth was dry, and he drank half a cup of tea before he took the package from Bihe and handed it to Xiaomi, "Little sister, here are all the account books, and the expenses and daily necessities are listed. Our family has a total profit. It was less than 3 taels, and I exchanged it for Dayuan Tongdui banknotes and put it in this package. Your elder brother and I are really ashamed of our family, and we did a good deal, and it ended up like this."

"No, Yuexian doesn't blame you, it's because I didn't..."

Boss Lu rushed to admit his mistake, but was quickly stopped by Xiaomi.If we wait any longer, the couple will enter the cycle of admitting mistakes again.

"Brother, sister-in-law, it is expected that there will always be losses and gains in business. Besides, the business of the workshop does not leave the house, and it is easy for us to keep it secret. We are not familiar with the place in the south, and these things happen. It's all inevitable. It's really hard work for the elder brother and sister-in-law to bring back so much money to the family under such circumstances."

Xiaomi didn't even look at the package, but turned to look at Father Lu who was frowning, "Father, the southern workshop is all thanks to the hard work of the eldest brother and sister-in-law to earn so much money for the family. Why don't you give 3000 taels to the elder brother and sister-in-law for the bottom of the box, How about putting the rest in the public account?"

Father Lu has always been indifferent to family affairs, so naturally he won't join in at this time, he waved his hand and said, "Your elder brother and sister-in-law have really worked hard. You can see how to divide the money. You don't need to ask me. It's your third brother's place. Think about how to get there." The letter explained. I think the Cheng family boy and the Liu family boy are both good, don't spoil the friendship between classmates because of such copper stinking things."

Xiaomi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it. After all, the father still couldn't get rid of his noble nature of a sour scholar. If there is no such stinking thing, where can he get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, where can he get the ancient calligraphy and painting.

But at this time, she couldn't argue with her father, so she quickly responded, "Okay, don't worry, father, I will arrange it."

"Then I'm going back to the mountain, and you should go back earlier. Boss, remember to go to the city tomorrow morning to meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law. They have been thinking about you for the past two months."

"Yes, Dad."

Boss Lu got up to see his father off, leaving behind Chen Yuexian with a happy expression on his face.

The matter of going south to build a workshop ended in a hurry. She thought she would get complaints from her father-in-law and sister-in-law, but unexpectedly, her father-in-law and sister-in-law didn't blame a word, but instead gave their little family 3000 taels of silver as their property. It is simply impossible for others.

After all, the Lu family has three sons and one daughter, and they are only married now, and all income and income in the family are public property.

Now not only have they shared such a huge amount of hard work, but the father-in-law also promised to go back to his mother's house tomorrow, how considerate and reasonable.

"Sister-in-law, go to bed early tonight, don't have to think about anything, wear new clothes tomorrow and go back to greet uncles and aunts, so they can rest assured."

Xiaomi took her sister-in-law's hand and said jokingly, "Hongmei is taking care of everything in your yard. If you have something to do, just call her. I'm going to go back and count the money."

Chen Yuexian is smart, why can't she hear that my sister-in-law said that she didn't interfere in the housework of her yard, so she reciprocated and said with a smile, "I originally gathered some good clothes and gadgets in the south, thinking that you would help me take care of the yard. You are a thank-you gift. If you say that now, then I will save a good thing."

"Oh, sister-in-law can't say that, I've worked very hard, very hard!"

Xiaomi hugged his sister-in-law's arm and shook it, causing Chen Yuexian to quickly help the hairpin on his head, and begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, I know you have worked hard, and I will let Hongmei deliver the things to you in a while."

Xiaomi then gave up triumphantly, and finally smiled and hugged the package and went out.

Boss Lu just turned back from outside the courtyard. Seeing that his sister was worried and wanted to send her up the mountain, he came out from the gatehouse on the first day of the first day of the lunar new year, picked up the package for Xiaomi silently, and followed behind him.

Boss Lu felt relieved, turned around and went back to the house to see his wife holding the teacup in a daze, and asked worriedly, "Yuexian, but what did my little sister say?"

Chen Yuexian came back to her senses, and quickly smiled, "No, my little sister is very close to me. I just want... It's great to marry into the Lu family! Our father is sensible, and my second and third younger brothers never pick on me, and my little sister even It's like my own sister, I, this is a lucky pit..."

After finishing speaking, she glanced at her husband again, and there was no need to say the rest of the sentence.

Boss Lu blushed when he heard that, coughed twice, and called Hongmei and Bihe, who were snickering at the door, "Hurry up and set the dinner table, I'm hungry on the way."

Hongmei immediately walked in with a smile, with hot dumplings on the tray in her hand.

"Young lady just brought the frozen dumplings made by someone yesterday. I didn't expect the young lady and uncle to come back today. It's a coincidence."

"Okay, hurry up and try my sister's handicrafts. When you are away from home, if you don't want to do anything else, you just want to eat what my sister cooks."

Chen Yuexian moved his chopsticks while talking with Boss Lu, and occasionally asked Hongmei's family about chores, but it was fun.

But Xiaomi on the mountain went back to her boudoir, feeling worried when facing the oil lamp and paper, ink, brush and inkstone.

It was originally a good thing for Lu Cheng and Liu's family to cooperate to build a workshop. After all, Lu Qian, Cheng Ziheng and Liu Buqi are really good friends. After the Spring Festival, they will take the exam together. Maybe they will be officials together in the future. They have an arm to rely on and help each other. Friendship that cannot be bought with money.
