Five Elements Heaven

Volume 1, Chapter 106: Leftovers

Mingxiu was walking towards the embroidery workshop. Thinking of Brother Li Wei's clumsy appearance just now, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. Every few days, Brother Li Wei would bring some game. It used to be raw, but now it was roasted, coated with fine honey, and even dipped if necessary. She couldn't help but eat more every time.

Really, how can anyone give girls meat every time? What should I do if I gain weight?

But every time she saw Brother Li Wei at a loss, she would always eat more involuntarily, and it tasted really good. Brother Li Wei is rough yet subtle, and he is also very simple. Chatting with him is the happiest thing for her every day.

Brother Levi would talk to her about things on the front line, about their battles with the Manchus, wild beasts, and about all kinds of strange plants in the wilderness.

She would talk about the embroidery workshop with Brother Li Wei and the embarrassing things about her childhood. Every time she told the story, Brother Li Wei would laugh out loud, and she herself would fall forward and backward with laughter.

She was a little troubled. She was usually quite quiet, but why did she reveal her true colors in front of Brother Li Wei?

The two of them have many little secrets. For example, Duanmu Huang is the mysterious naked man, and no one except them knows. It’s just that Mingxiu has never been able to figure out why classmate Huang Wan calls herself Wanwan?

Thinking of how embarrassingly her classmates were being chased by her in the evening, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue. 9¤ Brother Li Wei said that his classmates must be playing pranks in the evening, and then told her about the bad things he had done in school, which made Mingxiu's eyes widen.

Then Mingxiu talked about the bad things she had done when she was in school. Brother Li Wei was completely dumbfounded, and she felt a little proud in her heart.

The time spent with Brother Li flies by so fast.

Entering the embroidery workshop, she calmed down and got into working mode. From very early on, she helped the master manage the embroidery workshop, and she took care of most everything. She has always been very attentive to her work. If she has distracting thoughts, she will easily make mistakes in her embroidery.

Although the master always praised her for her talent, she felt that she was just more careful and focused.

Speaking of genius, Junior Brother Ai Hui is the real genius. Even Brother Li Wei has praised him countless times and is desperately trying to think of how to recruit him into the Military and Human Resources Department.

"Look, it's foggy. It's starting again!"

"What a desperate effort! Is he a sand puppet? I don't know how tired he looks at all."

The embroidery girls' exclamations came, and Mingxiu knew they were talking about Junior Brother Ai Hui. Her eyes couldn't help but turn to the workshop, where mist spewed out from the windows, like a sleeping beast waking up from its sleep and starting to puff out mist.

Junior Brother Ai Hui started a day of practice.

Mingxiu sighed in her heart. Her junior brother's talent had already amazed her, and his level of hard work far exceeded hers. She was so impressed that she admired him so much.

Except for the occasional return to the dojo, Junior Brother Ai Hui devotes all his time to practicing. Because he felt that eating was a waste of time, he simply brought a lot of dry food when he went to the embroidery workshop last time.

My junior brother has a sand puppet who is very good at cooking and is very good at Yuanshi. The dry food is very exquisite and has a very good Yuanli content.

Mingxiu knew that in the era of cultivation, there was a kind of cultivator called ascetic cultivator, who were famous for their hard training. In Mingxiu's view, Junior Brother Ai Hui must have been an ascetic cultivator in the era of cultivation.

Eat in the workshop, sleep in the workshop, practice when you wake up, eat when you are hungry, and sleep when you are tired. She found the smell of herbal medicine extremely unpleasant, but her junior brother was very happy with it.

Before Junior Brother Ai Hui, she had never known that cultivation could be so difficult.

In a short period of time, my junior brother became the idol of all the embroidery girls in the embroidery workshop. Actions are always more convincing than words. Ai Hui had barely spoken to them, but his actions had already conquered everyone.

People who work hard to be abnormal are always admirable.

At the beginning, Mingxiu was a little worried that Junior Brother Ai Hui would be harmed by this. Because of her brother, she was quite accomplished in medical skills. She checked Ai Hui's body several times and found that he was very healthy. The condition she was worried about did not appear.

After several observations, she discovered that Ai Hui was very aware of his physical condition. Whenever he reached his limit, he would stop and rest, and he would never overdraw.

Mingxiu was greatly amazed. She didn't know how her junior brother did it, but she felt relieved when she mentioned it.

But what she finds puzzling is that the mujiao silk recently taken out by her junior brother is getting shorter and shorter. The most recent batch of mujiao silk is only one meter long. If not, the length of each batch of mujiao silk was very consistent, and she would wonder if there was something wrong with her junior brother's practice. Now it seems that the junior brother should be making some kind of attempt.

The last time the junior brother pulled out the mujiao silk that was more than ten meters long, he looked so money-obsessed that the master was half angry to death.

Unexpectedly, my junior brother started to practice, but he seemed to not regard mujiao silk as money.

The mujiao silk becomes shorter and shorter as it is drawn, and the scraps are worthless. How much does the junior brother lose every day? She wanted to laugh when she thought of her junior brother's expression of pain.

However, although the mujiao silkworms are getting shorter and shorter, the quantity is increasing. Now at the end of the day, the junior brother actually consumes two mujiao silkworm cocoons.

The pile of mujiao silk pulled out is quite impressive. In order not to waste, many of the stitches in embroidery workshops now use latex silk. Although it is overused, the toughness of mujiao silk is good.

Now the junior brother was miserable, and Mingxiu was a little gloating about his misfortune.

After the master felt that his junior brother was not passionate about embroidery, his attitude immediately changed. Oh, I can't say that about the master. It was his style that changed.

All junior brother's material consumption is recorded in the account. Mingxiu was in charge of the account book and saw that the amount owed by his junior brother was getting bigger every day. The master was asking his junior brother to sell himself to the embroidery workshop.

Even the uncle was helpless against the master's conspiracy. The materials consumed every day were all recorded in the accounts, and not a single cent was counted.

Mingxiu still helped his junior brother sell a batch of mujiao silk. Although it was not worth much, it was a little less. It's a pity that such a short piece of mujiao silk is worthless. It cost five yuan a piece and sold for a hundred pieces.

"Miss Mingxiu!"

Suddenly, she heard someone calling her. Mingxiu came back to her senses and saw that the person who came was a regular customer, Shopkeeper Li. She couldn't help but show a gentle smile and bowed: "Shopkeeper Li, long time no see. How is your business lately?"

Shopkeeper Li was about forty, with a shrewd face. He quickly returned the gift: "Thanks to Miss Mingxiu, it's not bad. I came here this time to buy another batch of scraps of mujiao silk."

Mingxiu thought about it and was a little surprised: "Did shopkeeper Li use up the hundred sticks last time?"

"Yes, there happens to be another batch of orders." Shopkeeper Li smiled kindly: "I want to buy more this time, but I don't know. Does your shop still have them?"

Mingxiu nodded: "I wonder how much Shopkeeper Li wants?"

"As much as you want." Shopkeeper Li said quickly: "This product is consumed very quickly and is used in large quantities. I wonder if your shop still has some in stock?"

Mingxiu smiled slightly: "I'll go take a look first."

Shopkeeper Li was busy: "Work hard, work hard."

As soon as Mingxiu turned around, the smile on her face disappeared, revealing a thoughtful look. She stepped into the threshold of the inner hall and directly ordered the maid next to her: "Go and get a few pieces of mujiao silk that the junior brother smoked. No, still I went there by myself, where are they piled up?"

ps: The second update is at zero o'clock.
