farmhouse ditty

Chapter 191 is bad, but I like it
"I haven't been watching for the past few days. The number of people on the boards on the cabinet has dropped by more than [-]%, and two big households have stopped coming. What's going on!"

Second Master Yang took the account book, slammed it on the table, and yelled at Shopkeeper Wang and Che Laoguai in front of him.

Seeing that Second Master Yang was angry, Che Laoguai shrank his neck, pulled his sleeves to wipe off his sweat, and said falteringly.

"Master, master, I can't figure this out. Before that, I stayed in the horse stable. When I saw people coming to buy goods, I-I went up to greet them, but-but they, they just Not coming……"

Shopkeeper Wang is a bit more mature after all, he didn't panic when facing Second Master Yang, but said slowly, "Master, please put the fire away first, I also went to the workshop yesterday to see, there is nothing wrong with our board , maybe the wind from the washboard has passed, so I have to take it easy..."

Second Master Yang snorted coldly, looked at Shopkeeper Wang, and said loudly, "Old Wang, do you know how big the land outside is? It's only been three or two months, how come this wind has blown by? "

Shopkeeper Wang nodded with a smile, "What the master said is that you have been running outside all year round, so of course you have been to many places."

Second Master Yang said coldly, "Old Wang, don't be so playful with me. I stopped working in the wood workshop, not just to do business for a month or two!"

Shopkeeper Wang knew that Second Master Yang was angry at the moment, so he followed his temperament and didn't say anything, just responded in a low voice.

Second Master Yang looked at shopkeeper Wang and confessed, and didn't yell any more. He let out a breath slowly, and said to himself, "There are so many towns and villages outside, and there are so many women and daughters-in-law. Why did it stop after getting a thousand or eight hundred boards, this is impossible..."

Shopkeeper Wang and Che Laoguai glanced at each other. It was strange for them to think about it. They had only been doing comfortable business for a few days, but they suddenly became more refined.

Second Master Yang thought for a moment, then asked casually, "Che Laoguai, is the man we sent to keep an eye on at Chu's Wooden Workshop still there?"

Che Laoguai gave a pause, but he didn't expect Second Master Yang to ask himself suddenly, he hurriedly said, "Well, sir, I asked them to withdraw earlier, the goods in our shop go fast, right here I forgot about that small workshop."

Second Master Yang frowned, and said, "Go, ask a few more guys to keep an eye on it."

Che Laoguai thought about it, and said smartly, "Hey, master, I don't think so. Our cabinets are all like this. How good is that small workshop?"

Second Master Yang's face darkened, he stared at Che Laoguai, and said sternly, "Go as soon as you're told, there's so much nonsense, where did you learn this crap."

Seeing Erye Yang's face changed, Che Laoguai hurriedly nodded and bowed a few times, retreated while talking, and went out.

Watching Che Laoguai go out, Second Master Yang snorted, but when he turned his head and saw the account book on the table, his heart was on fire again, and he swept the book on the ground in annoyance.

Shopkeeper Wang looked up at Second Master Yang, and shook his head secretly. The business grew bigger, and the master's temper also became stronger. He walked to the window, picked up the ledger, took a few shots, and put it in the second place. On Grandpa's desk, he suddenly thought of something that would make Erye Yang happy.

He walked to Second Master Yang with a smile, "Master, we are about to do a big business."

Second Master Yang looked at the smiling Shopkeeper Wang, "What big deal?"

------------

A tall and thin young man nestled at the entrance of the alley, holding a bamboo hat to cover his face to hide from the bright sun. From the outside, it seemed that this young man was tired from work and had found a secluded place to take a nap. .

But this young man really didn't doze off. He tilted his head, and through a small slit in the bamboo hat, he stared at the back door of a wooden workshop across the way. He watched a cart of boards coming out, and then scratched a line on the ground beside him. .

"Hey, Shanzi, it really is you."

The young man heard the sound, but before he could react, the bamboo hat on his face was taken away. He fixed his eyes, twitched the corners of his mouth, stood up with the earth wall behind him, and looked at the person in front of him. The man said, "Brother Mu, Muzi, yes, it's you."

Muzi chuckled, "Why are you here, boy?"

Shanzi couldn't find anything to say for a moment, but he just rambled and wanted to get the conversation over, but in the middle of speaking, he saw a man approaching across the street, so he brought the topic to him.

"No, no, it's, it's hot, I'll just bring a bamboo hat, just... Hey, who is this big brother?"

Muzi looked aside, "Oh, this is your second brother Wang, we both work in the same workshop."

Wang Er looked at Shanzi and smiled, then asked Muzi, "Who is this brother, he looks familiar."

Muzi smiled and patted Shanzi on the shoulder, "This is my worker at Yuanmuhang, I didn't expect to meet here today...Hey, Shanzi, don't you still work at Yuanmuhang? Out."

Wang Er smiled and said, "Oh, Muzi, Brother Shanzi is also the same as us. At this moment, which store is busy, we also sneak out."

Shanzi laughed quickly after hearing this, "Hey, yes, yes, brother Muzi, there is nothing going on in the Yuanmu shop at the moment, so I just came out and took a nap."

Wang Er looked at him, "Hey, Brother Shanzi really ran a long way, come here to take a nap."

Shanzi was taken aback, and laughed, "But, no, we're lazy, so we have to run farther."

Wang Er smiled and said to Muzi, "Hey, Muzi, it's a coincidence that you and Brother Shanzi met today. Let's go to the tea shed in front and drink a bowl of herbal tea before leaving."

After hearing this, Muzi said yes, and he was about to leave on the shoulders of Shanzi. There was no reason for Shanzi to stay. , if the shopkeeper asks, he will have a good idea... ah!

"Muzi, you and Shanzi go first, I'll go back and ask San'er to show us some, so that the shopkeeper won't find out."

Wang Er smiled and said a few words to Muzi, then turned around and walked across the street.

Muzi responded, pulled Shanzi away, and Shanzi was staring at the ground with wide-eyed eyes, watching himself scratching the dirt road all morning with a stone on the ground, so Wang Er stepped on it and rubbed it back and forth After a few moments, it was gone...

"How do you say, starting today, someone outside has started to follow us?" Xiu Niang wrote something in the account book, looking at Wang Er in front of her and asking.

"What, is there really someone watching around us?"

As Chu Ge said, he closed the door of the shop. In the past few days, they have only been open for half a day, receiving orders in the morning and making boards in the workshop in the afternoon for shipment.

"Yes, just now Muzi and I went out to look around as usual, and saw a man from across the street looking towards us secretly. Muzi saw a birthmark on the man's hand, and recognized him as Shanzi, a clerk from Yuanmuhang... "

Wang Er said that Shan Zi still drew a dozen or so lines on the ground, and he didn't know what it was for, anyway, he and Mu Zi changed the way to send Shan Zi away.

Xiu Niang closed the ledger and said to Wang Er, "Well, the two of you found out about this mountain today, and I guess the Yuanmu shop will not call anyone over in the next two days, so you and Muzi don't have to go out for a stroll tomorrow. gone."

Wang Er said, "Sister-in-law Xiuniang, why don't I go to the Yuanmu shop with Muzi tomorrow, and if they come to keep an eye on us, we can also go to their place."

Xiu Niang didn't agree, but just told Wang Er to ignore them and let him go back to the backyard to work.

Chu Ge took a look at Xiu Niang, took a bench and sat beside her, "Xiu Niang, how do you know that the Yuanmu Guild will send people to follow?"

Xiu Niang put the ledger in the drawer, and she said with a smile, "Actually, if you ask about this, we have to thank that car boss."

"What?"

Chu Ge took the few pieces of paper that Xiu Niang handed him and asked, this is the list received this morning, and he will take it back to the workshop in the backyard later.

Xiu Niang smiled and said, "If Che Laoguai hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known that our workshop was being watched all the time."

Chu Ge looked at Xiu Niang suspiciously, frowned, recalling when this Che Laoguai had said these words.

Xiu Niang looked at Chu Ge and knew that he was thinking about it. She smiled and said that Che Laoguai sent a message that day, saying that he wanted to buy their Chu family wooden workshop. Among them, Che Laoguai said such a sentence, " That little shopkeeper, you said, this small wooden workshop of yours has not started work for more than ten days, if you continue to waste like this, you will not even be able to pay your wages. '

Chu Ge thought for a while, it seemed that Che Laoguai had said this, but there was nothing wrong with it.

Xiu Niang said, "Then he's an outsider, and he's living in the garden tree shop, so far away from us, how does he know that we haven't started work for half a month?"

After hearing this, Chu Ge nodded, "Oh, that Xiu Niang, that garden tree company keeps sending people to watch over us, what should we do?"

Xiu Niang said, "Let's do whatever we want. We need to ship the goods, we need to receive orders, and we just ignore them."

Chu Ge was puzzled, "Xiu Niang, you ignore them, why did you let Wang Er and Muzi go out every day..."

Xiu Niang listened and smiled, "What are you doing, then Second Master Yang wants to know what's going on with us, so I just don't want him to know, and make him feel unhappy and anxious to death."

Chu Ge raised his eyebrows, blinked his eyes, looked at Xiu Niang for a while, and finally just replied dumbly.

Xiu Niang looked at Chu Ge like that, and asked in feigned anger, "What's the matter, do you want to say that I'm bad?"

Chuge Mumu said "hmm" for a while, and then shook his head hurriedly after hearing Xiuniang's dissatisfied voice, "No, no."

Xiu Niang deliberately leaned towards him, "Why not, you just answered."

Seeing Xiu Niang's approaching pretty face, Chu Ge suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. He backed away while denying it, and finally had to stand up.

"You just said that I was broken, that's what you meant... Uh!" Xiu Niang deliberately teased this idiot, she also got up and walked in front of him, talking aggressively.

Chu Ge looked at Xiu Niang as if he was really angry, he didn't know what to say, he just watched the opening and closing of that ruddy little mouth, and involuntarily leaned over and kissed her.

The soft touch on her mouth made Xiu Niang lose her mind. She wanted to see how this idiot would comfort her, but she never expected that Chu Ge would "pacify" her in this way.

Feeling that Xiu Niang didn't respond much, Chu Ge slowly raised his head, looked at her and said, "Xiu Niang, you, you are bad, but I like..."

Xiu Niang stared at Chu Ge in a daze, and suddenly gave a "puchi" smile, she was really convinced by this fool, and in this situation, she just popped out such a sentence.

Chu Ge looked at Xiu Niang's joyful smile, and was still thinking about what to say, when Shen's call suddenly came from the backyard...
