Chapter 140 Huan Niang’s Secret?

Chapter 140 Huan Niang’s Secret?

No matter what Duan Xiaopiao thinks, for Shi Chuan: it’s useless to have free labor. This iron-smashing man is just strong, so it must be good to use it to dig holes... Shi Chuan’s pits in the yard are very big, and no matter how many people there are, there are not too many people.

"Okay, leave two people for me, I'll take care of a meal at noon." Lao Cangtou and Lin Xiang stayed in the barracks alley. Shi Chuan led Huanniang and Huang E back to the prefecture yamen again. When he found Mengdutou, he picked up three streets near the sea. Because it was late and it was too late to take office that day, he brought the two girls back.

Haizhou City News was very fast. On the way back, the shopkeepers of the roadside shop had already shown a strange enthusiasm. They didn't dare to talk to Shideng. So Huan Niang, who was sitting on the roof of the carriage, became their favorite. He handed it to the roof of the carriage like a hot bun, hot cake, candy and snacks. Huan Niang couldn't even hold it in his hand, and Shideng was very strange: "This Huan Niang... what did her family do before? Why is the tricks on this place more familiar than me?"

After looking at Huang E, Shi Chuan added: "Well, you are more familiar than you - you are an official girl, and these subtleties of the market seem to be worse than her. Ren Huan Niang sat on the roof of the carriage early, and it was about to wait for this time."

Huang E lay at the door of the carriage, looking outside, and talking to Shi Tong through the curtain of the car: "Brother, don't force her to say something that Huan Niang doesn't want to say. That little man should remember something at this age, but she seems to be like you, pretending to be crazy and stupid, trying to hide something...

By the way, brother, I just say - well, just say, listen casually: This, you shouldn't be so enthusiastic to your uncle. Although his uncle is good, his aunt Qin is mean. I am afraid that my brother and aunt will not get along with him in the future... My aunt's man can't tell the occasion and the situation, and he will be chaotic without any scruples. In addition, my uncle's two cousins ​​are not good at being a good person and are idle all day long..."

Shi Chuan followed the carriage with a Japanese knife in his hand. Because it was a return trip, he was much slower. While turning his head and looking around, he replied: "I have too many things on hand now, but there are too few people who can use it, so I am not afraid of idle people. Even if I run errands and deliver things, I am still a personal hand."

Shi Chuan's words were not answers, and seemed to be answering the question that was not questionable. At this time, the temperature around Shi Chuan became colder and colder, and his face became more and more gloomy, as if he was full of vigilance, or searching for something in full spirit. This was the first time since Young Master Hai left, Shi Chuan felt the thorns on his back again.

Who is peeking at him? Didn’t Mr. Hai leave?

In addition to Mr. Hai, is there another fellow in this world?

If so, why didn’t Mr. Hai mention it?

After pausing for a while, Huang E showed concern before feeling anything. Shi Chuan's face returned to normal. He continued: "It seems that I have plenty of people on hand now, but the Samsung team is about to take over the renovation project of Zucebu, and Xiaopiao has also come back... When their business is on track, we may not have enough staff.

Mr. Hai sounds like a lot of servants, and he is indeed very capable, but thirty or forty people is far from enough for such a large Haizhou City. As for your uncle, he is also a relative, I think he has a quick mind and it doesn’t cost much to support his family. Instead, you have a playmate because of their arrival. Isn’t it cost to hire a playmate? Apart from your uncle, how can you find so many playmates connected by flesh and blood?

As for money, it’s not saved, it’s earned. Our expenses are high, which means we make a lot of money, so I’m not afraid of raising people… You don’t have to worry about these things.”

Huang E thought about it and suddenly smiled sweetly: "Brother, I have grown up so old that E's mother feels the joy of being taken care of for the first time. Oh, all Haizhou says that my brother is stupid, but I don't know which fool can compare with my brother."

As she was speaking, Huan Niang, who was sitting on the roof of the car tent in front, greeted her excitedly: "Brother, Huan Niang doesn't eat idle food. Look, Huan Niang has prepared all the lunches for her sisters. This is the sign-up food sent by He Wu, this is the pie sent by Grandma Liu, and this is the pig hand of the Cao family... Look, there are food and food, I'm afraid that the sisters will not finish it in one meal."

That's right, I can't finish it in one meal.

Huanniang sat on the top of a tent in front of her carriage. She followed the most vicious time in Haizhou City. The vendors along the street saw this little girl with pink makeup and a bun to please her. It was not worth much money to them, but they couldn't resist the many merchants in Haizhou City, so they walked two streets. The roof of Huanniang's carriage was filled with food and small gifts.

No wonder everyone likes to be an official. Shicheng is just a bounty hunter who has no grade and is not a member. He is assigned by the government to walk on the street. This time, the harvest will be enough for the twenty girls in the family to have a full meal. If the county magistrate goes on a patrol, what will it be?

Leading cadres should go to the countryside often - Experience

Where did Huan Niang gain experience?

When the group returned to their courtyard, the girls in the courtyard were discussing how to solve the lunch. The new chef girl just said: "Don't come to me for work elsewhere. I just care about Shi Dalang's diet. Today I prepared stews, roasts and sauces for Dalang. I don't care about how the girls eat. What I make here is a portion of three..."

When he saw him, he returned, and the turn of Mo Shao quickly came over to report: "When the shopkeeper of the Huang family left, he left a new contract, requiring the monthly supply to increase by 30%. The new contract was placed in his brother's house. The sisters started to make fine salt today and went out to buy fat... If there was no delay, the balm and fragrant pancreas will be reproduced tomorrow."

Mo Shao had just finished speaking, and his apprentice Li Shi jogged over to report: "Master, the county yard has just arrived and is going to sign a housekeeping repair contract with us. The two brothers have already gone to the yamen... Also, my own brother came to apologize, saying that he had too many customers that day, so he was impatient and offended the master."

Before Shi Chuan answered, Huan Niang sat on the top of the carriage and shouted: "Helping me down, it's time to eat, Huan Niang won't eat idle food. Huan Niang brought lunch to her sister, please help me."

He said he was asking someone to pull him, but Huan Niang didn't wait for someone to reach out. She stood on the top of the carriage and jumped down at Shi Chuan. She knew that Shi Chuan would definitely catch her - as expected, when she jumped into Shi Chuan's arms, she twisted excitedly: "Brother, Huan Niang didn't eat a bite on the road, just wait for her sister...Brother, those gifts include needles and threads, and a few running-in ropes. Can Huan Niang stay by herself?"

Several girls laughed and teased Huan Niang, while climbing onto the roof of the car and packing up the messy food baskets on the roof - these things were hot, and they were indeed solved for lunch.

In the evening, Duan Yichui brought his son Duan Xiaopiao to thank Shizhan himself. He asked in detail about Shizhan's design and materials preparation... Duan Yichui's solemn thank Shizhan, but his eyes fell on the trolley suitcases in the corner of the wall, and he couldn't help but appreciate, "This thing is good, this is a big deal."

The annual commercial transactions of the Song Dynasty were no less than hundreds of millions of yuan. How many merchants traveled around the world. The luggage they carried was packed in wooden boxes. It was so troublesome to carry it up and down. If merchants bought such boxes to pack luggage, even if a merchant bought a box, it would have to tens of millions... Dalang, how could this box be made of iron wheels? Isn't it possible to carry wooden wheels?"

Shi Chuan saw Duan Yichu off topic and replied with a smile: "Although the wooden wheel can reduce the cost, I am afraid that this thing will be dragged around. If the wheel breaks, the box will be scrapped."

Duan Yichui said anxiously: "How can wooden wheels break? Nowadays, carriages are all wooden wheels, and they have not been seen breaking often?"

"That's right, the technology of making two-wheeled carriages has been thousands of years. I guess it wouldn't be too troublesome to make a smaller version of wooden wheels. However, these boxes are my gift to the young ladies, and they are inevitably made a little more sturdy and gorgeous. If ordinary people use them, the wooden wheels are probably enough - but what does it have to do with you, a blacksmith shop?"

Duan Yichui couldn't sit still. He led his son Duan Xiaopiao into the wooden box, pulled out the lever and fiddled with it carefully, and said without raising his head: "Yesterday someone said on the dock that Shi Dalang took a group of girls to pull a half-person-high box and walked home heroically. I felt that this thing was good at that time... That's right, using leather as the box surface, which is both light and rain-proof and waterproof. He pulled such a large box with one hand, and it was not troublesome to walk.

Well, for such a big box, you can put it in a place to change clothes and personal belongings. If you add a lock on the box, you won’t worry even if you put some money and goods... Who said that this thing has nothing to do with our blacksmith shop? Isn’t this pull rod iron? Isn’t the shaft of the wheel iron? Can’t the buttons on the box be iron?

Although the Duan family's blacksmith shop is a ancestral craft and cannot be abandoned easily, fortunately, Dalang gave us the craftsmanship of making scissors. I thought that the blacksmith shop would be open as usual, and the legitimate son Duan Xiaopiao could inherit my blacksmith shop. The eldest son-in-law happened to be a cobbler. He asked him to take on the job of making a suitcase. It was not too big or too small."

Duan Yichui raised his head and his eyes lit up: "The blacksmith needed to be a suitcase for this kind of suitcase can be supplied by Duan's blacksmith shop. The apprentices only make wheel axles, which is also considered to be a practice. If the skills are better, let him make pull rods. Isn't this complete?"

It turned out that Duan Yichung wanted to eat one bowl and eat one bowl. He didn't oppose eating more and eating more. Anyway, he was given the title of a master, and even if he was copying his hands, he could count the money. He thought for a while: "Salt and iron are specialized. If the iron material is needed for a store, it may not be available. Besides, iron parts are prone to rust, and the anti-rust technology is not good these days. Pure iron shafts and iron trolleys..."

Duan Yichui raised his head and retorted: "Since Dalang said so much, why do you have to use so many iron parts for this box... Does Dalang have the secret to prevent rust?"

Shi Chuan was speechless and said for a long time: "As it happens, I will work with Brother Duan in this business, I will complete it, and you will get the money afterwards?"

Duan Yichu raised his head, his eyes lit up like a light bulb: "Dalang, tomorrow I will ask the Duan son-in-law to come to the door and sign a contract with Shi Dalang... There is an empty shop on West Street. I will go and plate it down tomorrow morning and let the son-in-law keep it as a shop..."

Duan Xiaopiao interrupted: "The production of this suitcase, and the 'crucifix' method mentioned by the master just now... After the red contract is signed, the master will teach us together."

Shi Chuan waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. It's not a big skill. A sheep is put on, and a group of sheep is also driven. If you want to learn from the Duan family, let them come together... Well, it just so happens that I have to use them at the dock."
