Chapter 199 Going to Chu’s Wooden Workshop

"Hey, Muzi, we're off work today, let's have a drink, huh?"

"No, no, I've drank enough in the past two days, and my stomach doesn't feel strong."

"Hey, it's because you're not used to drinking it yet, and you'll be comfortable with two more jars. Let's go for a walk, and make another two cups today."

"It's really not going to work today. I have to go to work tomorrow. Besides, my mother won't let me drink anymore."

"Oh, what's your mother, your mother, it's clear that your Qiaoer won't let you go."

"That's right, if you get drunk today, my brothers will carry you back to Qiao'er, will it be possible..."

The two clerks of the Yuanmu shop attacked Muzi left and right, and insisted on entrusting him to drink after work, but Muzi was stupid and honest, and he agreed within a few words.

"Muzi, what are you doing here now?"

Muzi paused when he heard the sound, then turned around to see Xiuniang standing behind him smiling, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."

The two guys from Yuanmu Co., Ltd. heard Muzi calling, they also looked back and greeted Xiuniang.

One of them joked with Muzi, "Hey, Muzi, I never heard that you have such a handsome sister-in-law."

Muzi put on a serious face, turned his head and said in a low voice, "What are you talking about, this is the aunt of my shopkeeper, Xiuniang's sister-in-law."

Xiu Niang looked at the two of them and smiled, "Muzi, who are these two young men, are they very energetic?"

Muzi said bluntly, "Sister-in-law, they grew up with me, and they also work in the wood shop."

Xiu Niang said oh, looked at the two of them, and smiled, "Oh, that's right, then what were you talking about just now, you laughed so affectionately, and it made me happy to say it."

The two guys glanced at each other, quickly laughed, and ran away after talking a few words, "Hey, that, that, Muzi, my brothers still have something to do, let's go first."

Muzi responded, "Hey, you two go, I'll find you later!"

The two guys walked halfway and almost stumbled, this Muzi, why is he so blind, how can he say such a thing.

Xiu Niang squinted her eyes and watched the two guys run away, thinking, these two guys ran away after hearing Muzi's introduction to her.

She looked back at Muzi and said, "Muzi, didn't you watch Qiaoer at home, why did you come out now?"

Muzi said, "Oh, sister-in-law, I'm going to work. My mother came back the other day. I was supposed to go to work yesterday, but my mother asked me to help clean up at home. In a few days it will be the fifteenth day of the eighth month, it is inconvenient for Qiaoer to have a body now."

Xiu Niang responded, thinking half of reproachfully and said, "Okay, Muzi, your mother is not here these two days, so I asked you to stay at home with Qiao'er, but you are good, I asked the master to go drink and leave Qiao'er alone." I'm home alone..."

Muzi hurriedly said, "No, not sister-in-law."

Xiu Niang said, "It's nothing, I'll tell you Brother Chu when I get back later, and see how he trains you when the time comes."

After hearing this, Muzi waved his hands and said anxiously, "No, sister-in-law, originally I was guarding Qiaoer, but the two brothers have been carrying wine to my house for the past two days, so I, I came out with them .”

Xiuniang kept staring at Muzi. When he first spoke, he didn't look at other places. It didn't look like he was lying.

Muzi said, "Sister-in-law, am I afraid of quarreling with Qiao'er...

Xiu Niang looked at him, and chattered casually, "Then you three big men can't chatter there, why can't you talk in the yard at home, you have to go to the tavern."

Muzi said, "Sister-in-law, we brothers didn't say anything, we just had a few sips of wine together and chatted about going to work."

After hearing this, Xiu Niang sighed secretly, that's it, the two boys from Yuanmuhang came to find out what happened in her workshop, otherwise they wouldn't have seen him, and ran away like a mouse meeting a cat.

...However, thinking this way, Xiuniang raised her head to look at Muzi, and twitched the corners of her mouth helplessly, guessing that this stupid boy must have talked a lot out of him.

Seeing that Xiu Niang was staring at him blankly, Muzi lowered his head and looked at him. There was nothing wrong, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you, is there anything wrong with me?"

Xiu Niang pursed her lips, forget it, anyway, this businessman has nothing new to hide, she didn't even bother to ask what this Muzi and the guys from the Yuanmu Company said.

She thought for a while, pointed to the food stall at the side, and said to Muzi, "It's nothing, son, just now you said that you were going to work right now, so hurry up and help me bring Anzi and Xiaoxiang'er Go back, I want to go to the front to buy some vegetables."

Muzi followed Xiuniang's finger to see that Chu An and Xiao Xiang'er were enjoying themselves in front of the small stall, each holding three pieces of sweet cakes. "Hey, I see sister-in-law."

Xiu Niang hummed, and yelled to the front to let the two little ones know, after a while, she followed Muzi back to the workshop, and she went shopping first by herself...

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

"So, that small wooden workshop suddenly started making boards a few days ago, not because it received wood in the town, but because it had prepared inventory elsewhere earlier, so it started work?"

"It's like this, master," Che Laoguai lifted the two bundles on the ground and put them on the car, "When you went out of town two days ago, shopkeeper Wang asked Shanzi from the shop to find... Muzi. ..."

Second Master Yang stood by the side of the road, dusting off the straw residue on his body. He just came here in a mule cart pulling hay. There was something wrong with the account in the Waizhuang shop earlier, and he rushed to deal with it. He took a car with a group of people from the town to Waizhuang, and didn't let Che Laoguai pick him up with the car, but asked him to prepare the car in three days and wait for him on the official road outside the town.

Che Laoguai climbed up on the cart and put some baggage in it, and said with a smile, "Master, if you are tired and tired, just sit in the cart for a while, you go to Waizhuang every three days, and back and forth, it is also exhausting." Very human."

Second Master Yang watched Che Laoguai tidy up a place where he could lie down in the car, thinking in his heart that it was time to squat for a while, he was driving him back and forth in the past three days, and he was about to get angry, but if he hadn't read That said, the convoy from the palace is coming in two days, he really didn't come back so early, so he has to rest in Waizhuang for a few days.

He listened to what Che Laoguai said, and just responded lightly, "Che Laoguai, what you said just now, is it accurate, don't let that brat Shanzi be speechless and make up some nonsense."

Che Laoguai got out of the car, thinking about what Second Master Yang said, knowing that he was asking about Muzi, so he said it, took a wooden stool from the car, and put it in front of the carriage so that Second Master Yang could step on it. Get in the car.

"That's no problem, master. This Shanzi took his brother with him. The two brothers went to drink with that Muzi every day. The day before yesterday, they got the kid drunk and asked him everything. After Shan Zi came back, he told shopkeeper Wang, and then shopkeeper Wang asked me to tell you about this when I came to pick you up."

Second Master Yang heard it, and nodded in satisfaction. After all, this old man is an old buddy, and he knows what he is thinking.

Seeing that the old man was in a good mood today, Che Laoguai smiled and asked him to get in the car. Although the old man took a car from a fellow villager and got off at the intersection of the official road, they wanted to go back to the town. There's a long way to go, so it's better to get on the road early.

Second Master Yang responded lightly, lifted his clothes, stepped on the wooden stool and got into the car, waiting for Che Laoguai to put the stool away, and they started to drive into the town.

Che Laoguai was driving a carriage, and asked a question tentatively. Knowing that Second Master Yang just leaned on the carriage board for a while, he didn't dare to take the express train, but walked on the flat road as much as possible.

Second Master Yang grabbed the burden and leaned against his waist. Although he closed his eyes to rest, he couldn't fall asleep. He was still thinking about the Chu family wooden workshop. Earlier, he asked someone to find out where this young couple came from. It is said that the young couple came from Xiayang Village. They used to make Teng mountain products and herbs, and then got some money in their hands, so they bought this workshop in the town.

In fact, at the beginning of his freshman year, he felt that this small workshop was not simple. At that time, he heard that the workshop owned by the young couple was very expensive, but they just bought it. After careful calculation, it is comparable to renting someone's house. The house is cheap.

There is another thing that he didn't expect, that is, the young couple from the countryside will really keep some wood for themselves, just in case they are needed. Although this is not a big deal, but for these two just For those who step into the wood business, it is not easy.

Fortunately, he spent a lot of thought to collect all the waste wood from the lumber shops in the town, and then asked Che Laoguai to make troubles, so that the lumber shops in the town would not dare to do anything with them. Buying and selling, so that they can't start working, but it didn't happen, the other party still had some thoughts.

But... Second Master Yang, instead of being annoyed after thinking about it, opened his eyes and looked at the roof of the car, twitching his mouth and smiling.

He murmured in his heart, but it's good to know about this, so that the things to be done later will be much easier, and he said that the Chu family wooden workshop these days is only relying on those warehouses to guarantee the bottom line The wood is maintained, and it can barely start work.

If the wood shops in the town still don't buy and sell wood for them, he just needs to grasp this point and prevent them from getting wood. If the Chu family wood shop doesn't have wood, why would they compete with him for the wood in the palace? List trading miles...

Second Master Yang was thinking happily at the moment, the carriage suddenly jolted, and he almost fell off the seat.

He lifted the curtain angrily, "Che Laoguai, what's going on, do you know how to drive!"

Che Laoguai hastily said first, now they have entered the town, but someone is fighting at the entrance of the south alley, blocking the way.

Second Master Yang glanced at it, and suddenly thought of something, he put down the curtain of the car, "Che Laoguai, go to the other side and go to Chu's Wooden Workshop."
