After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

Jiang Xiaohua looked at Li Yuanzhi's house.

A complete set of second-hand furniture, including a bed, tables, chairs, clothes hangers, and a large wooden box for soft clothes.

It's only a little better than living with only four walls.

Jiang Xiaohua suddenly realized her conscience.

Isn't it a bit too miserable for Li Yuanzhi, the phoenix, to fall on her shelf?

Counting on her fingers, including this month, she already owed Li Yuanzhi two months' wages.

Before arriving in the capital, Jiang Xiaohua paid Li Yuanzhi once.

The amount is a penny.

When we arrived in the capital, all kinds of money matters came one after another.

In addition, the more working capital needed to open a store, the better.

Li Yuanzhi took the initiative to offer him no wages for the time being.

Anyway, he has no other way to use money on a daily basis.

Let Jiang Xiaohua save it first, and then pay it to him when he has enough money to open a shop.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaohua couldn't help but sigh.

I thought that when Li Yuanzhi came back, things at the Rouge Workshop would be almost settled.

She still had some money on hand.

With the Chinese New Year approaching, Li Yuanzhi should be given a salary increase and two months' compensation no matter what.

Jiang Xiaohua turned around and was about to go out when her elbow knocked a book off the edge of the table.

She hurriedly reached out to pick it up, catching the book in the air before it fell to the ground.

Jiang Xiaohua smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to put the book back when she saw a piece of paper exposed between the opened pages.

The words in black and white are particularly eye-catching:

Be born in the world, enter the world.

To become an official, to become an official.

Jiang Xiaohua was stunned.

Although I know it is wrong to peek at what others have written without permission.

But she saw everything, so she picked it up and looked at it carefully.

The font is strong and powerful, and every stroke almost penetrates the back of the paper.

These four seemingly simple words convey the inner struggle of the person who wrote them.

It turns out that Li Yuanzhi did not give up on himself, maybe he just didn't figure things out.

Jiang Xiaohua stood there for a moment and silently put the paper back into place.

She didn't know how she got out of Li Yuanzhi's room.

The mood is inexplicably a little dull and a little relaxed.

Maybe it was because he had been with Li Yuanzhi for too long.

She actually regarded him as a family member just like the four children.

Even forgetting that he does not belong here and will leave one day.

The winter morning sun shines down, today is a good day.

Jiang Xiaohua looked up at the sky with a relieved smile on her face.

What are you thinking about so much?

There are still many things waiting for her to do today.

Jiang Xiaohua fed Hongdou Bao, Oolong and Daqing water.

Then I cleaned several bedrooms and kitchens.

Since I usually keep it very clean, it doesn’t take much time to clean it up.

Jiang Xiaohua finally put the mule cart on and patted Oolong and Hongdoubao on the head, "You two take good care of the house."

"Wait until I come back and bring you something delicious."

Wulong walked past Jiang Xiaohua proudly and slapped her with his furry tail to show that he understood.

The red bean bun is jumping and dancing as if talking.

Jiang Xiaohua locked the gate and drove the mule cart straight to the west of the city.

The rouge workshop is the property of Jiang Yuanheng's mother Sheng in the capital.

The place is not far from the West Gate. There is no need to go up Guandao to get out of the city. It only takes a meal by mule cart.

Jiang Xiaohua came here for the first time today and saw a courtyard from a distance.

She immediately understood what Jiang Yuanheng meant when he said, "That place is easy to recognize. You'll know it when you see it."

Because this yard is built with high brick walls, every brick is made of fine green bricks.

In ancient times, blue bricks were relatively expensive building materials.

Most of the houses I saw along the way were civil structures.

A courtyard wall made entirely of blue bricks like this is definitely a standout.

Jiang Xiaohua parked the car and knocked on the door.

The person who answered the door was a middle-aged man with a beard, "Who are you looking for?"

Jiang Xiaohua followed the previous discussion with Jiang Yuanheng and said, "My surname is Jiang, from Jiang Sheng."

"I made an appointment with Young Master Jiang Yuan Hengjiang to come over today."

The bearded man was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly opened the door wide, "It turns out to be the new owner, please come in quickly."

Jiang Xiaohua said with a smile, "Mrs. Sheng and I have not officially signed a contract."

"I'm not the boss here yet, just call me Mrs. Jiang."

Jiang Xiaohua stepped in, and the strong man immediately closed the door.

He explained with a smile, "Close the door and no outsiders are allowed in. This has been the rule in the workshop from the first day."

"Because there are a lot of valuable materials in our workshop warehouse."

“Firstly, I’m afraid of attracting thieves, and secondly, I’m afraid that competitors will sneak in and add something to the appearance of the finished product.”

Jiang Xiaohua agreed, "What you put on your face is the same as what you eat in your mouth."

"You have to be extra careful to ensure safety."

I saw Li Yuanzhi's unlined robe, which was still old and new.

The bearded man responded repeatedly, then remembered that he had not introduced himself yet, "I am Wu Gang."

"Ms. Jiang, just call me Lao Wu."

Jiang Xiaohua was a little surprised, "Are you Master Wu?"

She had already learned about all the personnel arrangements of the workshop from Jiang Yuanheng.

Although Wu Gang is only middle-aged, he is a master rouge maker with more than 20 years of experience.

Because it is a craft inherited from his family, he started learning to make rouge when he could not walk.

It's a pity that his own Rouge has declined due to poor management.

He just accepted Mrs. Sheng's discovery and became the top master of this rouge workshop.

In charge of rouge blending and quality control.

In addition, there is also Wu Gang who cuts osmanthus trees in the moon palace of Fairy Chang'e.

Jiang Xiaohua was most impressed by this name.

But if Wu Gang hadn't introduced himself.

It is difficult for ordinary people to associate the rouge master who is accustomed to doing delicate work with the bearded man in front of him.

Jiang Xiaohua reflected that she shouldn't judge people by their appearance, and said with a smile, "Mr. Wu, can you show me around?"

Wu Gang agreed, "Master Jiang comes here every now and then."

"He has already made arrangements for us to listen to Madam Jiang."

"Except for Lao Zhou's wife, who is sick and didn't come today because he asked for leave, everyone else is here."

He walked forward and made an invitation gesture, "Ms. Jiang, please come this way."

Jiang Xiaohua followed Wu Gang as he visited each place from the outside to the inside.

The front yard was the first rough job.

For example, screening, drying, washing raw materials, etc.

The yard is used as a drying ground, surrounded by large factories on both sides.

Wu Gang took Jiang Xiaohua inside. Because work had stopped, only a few workers were cleaning.

When everyone saw Jiang Xiaohua, they all stopped what they were doing.

Jiang Xiaohua smiled and said, "You guys are busy with your business, I'm just taking a look."

Wu Gang waved his hand and signaled everyone to continue.

Jiang Xiaohua discovered that there were water pipes connected to the factory building and a drainage pipe at the other end.

She was a little surprised that ancient workshops also had such complete water supply and drainage systems.

"Where does this clear water come from?"

"Where does the sewage go?"
