Chapter 210 Chapter 170 Seven is not the same thing at all
"Xiu Niang, are you okay? It will be too late if we don't leave."

"Hey, I see, you take the board first, and I'll come down right away."

Xiu Niang yelled this from downstairs, found a square cloth towel in the wooden cabinet by the window, tied it around her head, and went downstairs.

Holding a washboard in his hand, Chu Ge watched Xiu Niang come down, chatted with the clerk on the cabinet, and then went out with Xiu Niang.

Seeing that the time was approaching Chen, Chu Ge and Xiu Niang didn't have breakfast, bought a few pieces of sweet cakes on the street, and rushed to the front street while eating.

Xiu Niang took a bite of her food, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Hey, I eat sweet things in the morning, it's really boring."

Chu Ge glanced at her, and said, "Is there any other way, Qiangzi came over yesterday and said that we should go to the racecourse at Chenshi this morning, and this steward Huang wants to see our board in person, he I also said that Manager Huang doesn't like people who are late, so we..."

Xiu Niang smiled and said, "I know, I know, Qiangzi wants us to go early so that we can wait for Guan Huang, so as to make a good impression on him, and the next thing will be easy."

Chu Ge looked at her dumbly, and replied, "Well, that's what Qiang Zi said."

Xiu Niang pursed her lips, and stuffed the last bite of the sweet cake into her mouth, "However, I don't think we need to wait half an hour in advance. At this moment, I reckon this..."

Chu Ge stopped after listening to Xiu Niang's chatter, and stared straight ahead with his big watery eyes. He followed her strangely, and immediately knew what she was going to say next.

He turned around and said to Xiu Niang, "It seems that the racecourse is not open today, and the doors don't open so early, let's wait on the sidelines."

Xiu Niang took a look at Chu Ge, now she won't be waiting here, will she go back to sleep, she muttered a little, then went to sit under a big tree beside her, breaking the sweet cake in her hand into two Half, and Chugo finished eating each.

After waiting for a bag of cigarettes, a carriage came ahead. Chu Ge and Xiu Niang looked at it expectantly, but they were soon very disappointed. The carriage was not someone else but Che Laoguai. Also, the person sitting behind him should be Second Master Yang.

Sure enough, as soon as the carriage stopped, Second Master Yang came out of the carriage. They looked as if they had seen them, and came towards them while talking.

"Oh, I heard from people in the palace yesterday that there were two people yelling about injustice at the gate of the horse house. I guessed it was you two country peddlers who made trouble!"

Chu Ge and Xiu Niang stood up, they didn't expect that Second Master Yang would come, Xiu Niang looked at Chu Ge and laughed, "Master Yang, what you said is very strange, what the hell are we doing with my man?" gone?"

Second Master Yang said with a sullen face, "Hmph, you're still ashamed to ask, if it wasn't for you playing tricks behind your back, why would the people in the palace want me to come to the racecourse again today to check the samples!"

Xiu Niang smiled, "How do we two know that? My family, Chu Ge, sent a model to the racecourse, and the people in the palace let us go back without looking at them. In that case , then can we say that you are responsible for the tricks of Yuanmuxing?"

Second Master Yang looked at Xiuniang, and said, "Sister-in-law, is it possible that she wants to beat her up? What the hell are we doing?"

Xiu Niang smiled, and asked back, "Then what is it that we two country peddlers are doing?"

Second Master Yang said, "Who can't see this, you two didn't get the list from the palace yesterday, you must be dissatisfied, and when it's over, you will use those bad tricks in your country to cry The weeping ghost is crying and howling, maybe that palace man annoyed you with the noise, so he went back and told the steward that he made such a mess today."

Chu Ge frowned when he heard that, he was also angry, and opened his mouth thinking about saying something, so as to refute Second Master Yang.

But Xiu Niang looked at it and spoke first, "If this is what you mean by Master Yang, our two businesses are doing the same business, oh, of course, I'm talking about the washboard..."

Second Master Yang looked at Xiu Niang with a sullen face, and after listening to what she said, he turned his head to the side, thinking of ignoring it.

Xiu Niang didn't care, and went on to say, "Master Yang, as you said, today the stewards in the palace have to re-examine the model. It was the two of us who made it. If that's what you said, then we sent it to you yesterday. After the model passed, the people in the palace glanced at it and let us go back, then I can say that it was your Yuanmu shop who made trouble, after all, you entered through the back door that day."

Second Master Yang heard that Xiu Niang bit the word "back door" very hard, instead of being angry, he laughed. He probably wanted to make Xiu Niang and Chu Ge angry, so he laughed, "Hmph, what's the matter again? Land, no matter what, there is no one who does business without doing tricks."

Xiu Niang frowned, looked at Second Master Yang, hey, since this old boy doesn't answer back, why is he so frightened.

Chu Ge opened his mouth this time, and he said coolly, "You can say this, Mr. Yang, so why are you nagging? .”

Xiu Niang stared at Chu Ge with wide eyes, and couldn't help laughing, it's okay to be a fool, she doesn't talk much, it's choking enough.

Not to mention Second Master Yang, his face darkened when he looked at it, staring at Chu Ge and Xiu Niang without saying a word, this time the door of the horse house opened, and two palace servants came out, talking Asking them to go in, Second Master Yang moved first, he snorted angrily, turned around and left.

Chu Ge looked at Xiu Niang, the two of them smiled, and went in behind Second Master Yang, the three of them walked in with the two palace men who led the way, and let them go into the front room at the end in the house.

Xiu Niang looked at the room that Chugo entered by herself, she thought about going to the back, let Chugo and others go in first, she looked behind, she didn't come in earlier, now she looked at this room It was quite big, and there were a few palace servants standing in front of the table in the middle, presumably the two sitting on the chairs were in charge.

Yesterday, Xiuniang heard from Qiangzi that the 30-year-old was supposed to be Deputy Manager He, and the [-]-year-old should be the supervisor Huang, and there were four standing behind them. Standing in the middle, just not daring to look at them.

Fuguan He saw Erye Yang coming in, as if he was afraid that he would not know, first introduced Guanshi Huang, and then introduced Erye Yang to Guanshi Huang. And Chugo them, as if they were tiny little people.

Steward Huang looked up at Chu Gexiuniang, and said, "You two, but the Chu family's wooden shop in the back street also sells washboards?"

Deputy Guan He listened for a while, but he didn't expect that Manager Huang would know about Chu's Wooden Workshop. Chu Ge looked at the two managers and nodded in response.

Manager Huang nodded, and asked Chu Ge to hand over the board, he wanted to have a look, but before that, he also asked Qiangzi to put the board made by Yuanmu on the table.

Deputy Guan He looked at it, and hurriedly said, "Hey, Guanshi Huang, take a look, I said earlier, the difference between the two boards is too great, they are not the same at all."

When Guanshi Huang heard this, he lowered his head and looked at it. When these two boards were put together, there was indeed a big contrast. The good fir material and the medium and better material can be seen by a discerning person at a glance. The fir material looks very full and solid.

Seeing Guanshi Huang's appearance, Guanshi He felt even more cheerful, "Look at Guanshi Huang, after all, the Jiayuan Wood Company is a big name, so the material is very good. Look at this sturdy..." He As he spoke, he reached out and knocked on the washboard of Yuanmu Bank.

Guanshi Huang's frown deepened. In fact, he didn't care about such a thing. The palace needed a washboard, which was almost done. It was just that he wanted to catch Deputy Guan's pigtails in his heart, but now it seems that, There is no need to say anything.

He was angry, turned to Xiuniang and the others with a sullen face, and poured out the fire on them, "You two, why are you still complaining and arguing in front of the horse house because you can't make the boards well?" It's so noisy, it's outrageous!"

Xiu Niang listened for a while, and exchanged glances with Chu Ge. She had asked Qiang Zi to speak ill of them earlier to attract Guan Shi Huang's attention, but she didn't know why Qiang Zi spoke to Guan Shi Huang. Why did he get so angry.

Second Master Yang looked at Xiu Niang and Chu Ge with a relaxed expression on his face. Earlier he was also worried that this small workshop would come up with some good boards, but now that he saw it, he didn't take it seriously at all. If he had known This small workshop is so unsatisfactory, so he doesn't need to spend a fortune for the deputy steward, asking him to wipe out the boards of this small workshop.

Second Master Yang patted the table, pointed at Xiu Niang and Chu Ge, "It's done, I think you two are young and haven't seen much of the world... Hey, you two, let's go, don't get in my way here!"

Chu Ge didn't go out, but glanced at Xiu Niang, saw her nod, and walked forward.

Deputy Manager He looked at Chu Ge, and clicked his tongue, "Hey, you, didn't you hear that you were called out!"

Chu Ge ignored Deputy Manager He, and first said, "Manager Huang, you go out of the palace to buy and sell boards, and you do it yourself. The reason is to get some cheap and durable things."

Seeing Chu Ge ignoring him, Vice-Guan He made a phone call angrily, and opened his mouth to ask the palace servants behind him to drive him out.

Guanshi Huang raised his hand suddenly, and said to Fuguan He, "Don't be too busy, let him continue."

Chu Ge said, "Deputy Manager He, I want to ask, this Yuanmu shop is a famous store, this thing must be very expensive."

Second Master Yang stared at Chu Ge, suddenly thought of something, and was about to speak, but Deputy Manager He took the lead, "Hey, you country boy has never seen the world, people's homestead is a big shop, things Well, the price isn’t that high, and it costs eight bucks for a board!”

As soon as he said this, Chu Ge and Xiu Niang felt happy, but Second Master Yang was so anxious that he almost yelled.
