"Hey, Tang Zhi!"

Tang Zhi was sweeping the floor in the yard, when he heard the sound of the beating, he looked up and saw Song Dalang from the Song family lying on the wall of her house and looking at her with a smile.

Song Dalang plucked a straw from his head, and deliberately raised it against the wall, trying to provoke Tang Zhi.Seeing her reappearing within the range of his home, the latter grabbed the broom angrily and ran out: "Go away!"

Song Dalang ran back to his house in a hurry, his smile became more and more wanton, and she shouted: "Come and beat me, come here if you have the ability!"

"Song Yuyan!" Tang Zhi was furious, but he couldn't really beat someone up.

"You still scolded me for being rude, look at you, you've revealed your true colors!" Song Dalang laughed as usual.

"You!" Tang Zhi walked over with the broom.

At this time, a group of children in the alley were running in the alley while singing nursery rhymes: "Song Dalang, the broom star, control the father, control the mother, control the six relatives, control the dead six relatives, control the neighbors, the Tang family's elder brother lost his father, and the Tang family's younger sister disappeared." Mother, crying and calling for parents..."

A child bumped into Tang Zhi's body and kept smiling at her.

Tang Zhi held his breath and cursed, "Go play somewhere else!"

The child was frightened and cried, but his mother ran out and looked at Tang Zhi displeasedly: "What's the matter with you little lady, what's wrong with bullying a child? Where is the person who beat your mother to death!" After finishing speaking, Then he pointed at Song Dalang who was lying on the wall of his house.

Tang Zhi felt aggrieved, his eyes and nose began to sour uncontrollably.

Song Dalang made a face at the woman, and deliberately said obscene words learned from other bastards, so angry that the woman took her child back home.

"Hey, Tang Zhi, don't cry, it's ugly!"

Tang Zhi held back her tears when she heard the words, she stomped her feet angrily: "Who is going to cry! You are the one who is being scolded as a bastard, don't turn around and just hide at home and cry!"

Song Dalang asked her: "Aren't you afraid?"

Tang Zhi froze for a moment, then asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"Afraid of being killed by me!"

"I'm afraid, so if you come to hang out in front of my house again in the future, I will call you once!"

Song Dalang laughed loudly: "No, never again."

Seeing Song Dalang laughing, Tang Zhi suddenly felt flustered.She wanted to say that she was not afraid, because she knew the truth, but she didn't know why she said these hurtful words.

"Actually, I know that my mother's death has nothing to do with you. The reason why you were scolded as a bastard is because of—" Tang Zhi explained halfway, and Song Dalang's laughter stopped abruptly. She looked up. Go, but Song Dalang is no longer around.

Tang Zhi panicked, "Song Dalang, Song Yuyan!"

The body was shaken suddenly, Tang Zhi woke up suddenly, sat up and looked around, and found that it was in her own room.

There was a little light outside the window, and she saw dimly that the hand of her younger sister who was sleeping next to her was still holding her arm. Obviously, she was woken up by her younger sister.

"Sister, you've been calling Song Dalang, did you dream about him?" Tang Ye asked.

Tang Zhi was taken aback, and it took him a long time to recover from the dream, but the emotion was still shrouded in his heart, and he felt a little confused at this moment.

"No, I just dreamed about some past events."

Tang Zhi remembered that most of the scenes in it had happened before, even the hurtful words she uttered indiscriminately.So ever since she knew the truth and learned to judge the authenticity of things by herself, she never poked Song Yuyan's heart with this matter again.

"Sister..."

Tang Zhi calmed down for a moment, and thought about it, she smiled and said: "It's really all right, let the past go!"

The sky was getting brighter, and Tang Zhi was no longer sleepy, so she just got up and started working.Seeing that the water tank at home was almost bottomed out, she carried the bucket to fetch water, and when she came to Yijing, she found that the moving figure in front of her seemed familiar, but when she took a closer look, it was Song Yuyan.

Song Yuyan also found Tang Zhi, and smiled at her standard: "Mrs. Tang, good morning!"

Tang Zhi also smiled back: "Well, you're pretty early too."

Song Yuyan was slightly taken aback by her smile. After yesterday's tacit cooperation, this little girl finally gave herself a good look?

After Song Yuyan got up to fetch water this morning, she could clearly feel the changes in the attitudes of the neighbors towards her. Although they were not very enthusiastic, some people would call her "Song Dalang".

She believes that this is all due to Tang Zhi. If Tang Zhi was not willing to cooperate with her in acting and stood up to speak for the original owner, the effect would not have been so remarkable.

In fact, Tang Zhi changed his prejudice against Song Yuyan by doing this?It was also yesterday that they successfully captured Chen Erming, so in her heart, it was considered an end to Song Yuyan's past behavior.

"The Chen family didn't go to your house to make trouble yesterday, did they?" Song Yuyan asked.

"No, right now Chen Erming is locked up in the yamen waiting for the case to be heard. The Chen family doesn't have the guts to come and make trouble at my house."

Tang Zhi knew that Chen Erming was the first offender, so the punishment would not be very severe, at most it would cause the Chen family to lose some money.But in the future, it may be difficult for their family to hold their heads up here. If they are thick-skinned, they will of course pretend nothing happened, but the eldest brother of the Chen family is still worried that his work will be affected, so the Chen family may not be able to stay here any longer. .

Sure enough, not long after Chen Erming was interrogated by the Yamen, the Chen family moved out of Xingxianfang. As for where they went... Some people said they went to Zhoucheng, and some said they went to other counties. There are different opinions. There is no definite news.

Of course, everyone doesn't really care about where they moved, but everyone has a heart for gossip, and occasionally they will talk about pulling out.After waiting for a long time, everyone forgot that there was such a family. The only thing they still remembered was that it is good to steal food from anyone else, but don't steal from the Tang family.

There were also some bad rumors about the Tang family's throwing quicklime in the fields, to the effect that people might die if they ate the Tang family's food.And Tang Zhi used green vegetable leaves to tell them the benefits of sprinkling quicklime, and Song Yuyan also bought some vegetables from Tang's house every day without hesitation. After doing this, within half a month, the rumors would be self-defeating.

As for chicken, duck and fish, everyone can stop eating them for ten days and half a month, but vegetables are indispensable ingredients for the common people. Even if those people hope to use rumors to force Tang Zhi to lower the prices of vegetables, she still does not lower the prices. After all, Cixi The people in Xingxianfang are not the only ones in the county town.

After those people insisted on buying vegetables from other houses for half a month, they found that the vegetables from the Tang family were indeed fresher. Many vegetable farmers' vegetables were eaten by bugs, and they ate vegetables as if they were leftovers from bugs. Appetite is much worse.

So not long after, these people silently went back to the Tang family's vegetable garden to buy vegetables.

Tang Zhi didn't say anything, and sold her vegetables as usual, and lived a small life with her brother and sister carefully.

Song Yuyan's straw weaving and bamboo weaving are also gradually on the right track. With her weaving day after day, her skills are more proficient than before, and her efficiency in a day can be much faster than before.Before Lin Yongming came to check and accept, she completed the corresponding amount of weaving as scheduled.

The straw mats and processed bamboo and wood products of Loujia Workshop are of relatively high quality, so although Lin Yongming has confidence in Song Yuyan's skills, he was a little apprehensive when delivering them.

The shopkeeper of Lou's workshop picked and picked the finished products he received, and took away [-]% of them, but he was surprised to find that all the finished products knitted by Song Yuyan were among them.

"I said Lin Yaji, you didn't collect it from another workshop, did you? Almost all the skilled craftsmen in Mingzhou have been taken over by our Lou family. Look at these objects, it doesn't look like ordinary people can weave them. Come out." The shopkeeper of the workshop asked with a smile.

Lin Yongming said: "The shopkeeper is joking, I also want to eat, go to other workshops to collect, I will sell it to you, how much benefit can I get?"

When the shopkeeper of the workshop heard it, it was the same reason.

Except for Lou's, other workshops have also accepted orders, so even if Lin Yongming goes to those workshops to buy at a high price at this time, other workshops may not necessarily sell them.Although he took advantage of Lou's workshop not being able to finish so many quantities in time for merchants in Korea, he charged a higher price than usual, but if he calculated it carefully, he would still lose money, so he was unlikely to go to other workshops to receive these goods Resold to the landlord.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper of the Lou's workshop said: "I see that these bookcases are quite hard, and it seems that they have been specially treated. If such a talented craftsman is introduced to our Lou's workshop, the wages will not be high. Too low."

Generally, after the finished bamboo strips are woven, they will be a little soft because the bamboo has not been charred. It is okay for the strips used in bamboo sieves to be softer, as long as the bamboo is tough enough.However, the woven fabric for book cages, which hold heavy objects such as books, pens and ink, should be tough and hard at the same time.

The surface of the carbonized bamboo strips will be smooth and not prone to bamboo thorns. In addition, it is difficult for bacteria to survive, and it can prevent insects to a greater extent.For readers, this is a good choice as a tool for collecting books.Although Mingzhou's reading atmosphere is not good, it can also make a lot of money if it is sold elsewhere!

When Lin Yongming saw that the shopkeeper wanted to poach someone, alarm bells went off in his head. He smiled and said, "I have to ask him about this."

He personally is not very willing to let Song Yuyan go to the workshop, because it means that he will make less money.He has been a dentist for so many years, and he has bought and sold many mats and bamboo baskets. In the past, he received very few good items, and they were basically resold to the common people.

Although Song Yuyan was not the best craftsman he had ever met, judging from the fact that the finished products she handed over were often sold at a good price, he knew that she was worthy of his long-term cooperation.

Once Song Yuyan went to a certain workshop, he would have no price difference to earn.

But even though he had selfish intentions, he would not deliberately hide it from Song Yuyan. When he went to find Song Yuyan next time, he would tell her about it.

"The Lou's workshop pays [-] yuan a month, but I think with your ability, if you weave and sell it yourself, you can earn that much a month, or even more."

Song Yuyan pondered for a while, and the wages offered by the Lou family were indeed enough for the three of them to live well. But if you calculate carefully, going to the workshop is equivalent to receiving a dead salary like being a civil servant, which counts as half an iron rice bowl; Hard work pays more.

Her efficiency has been greatly improved now. She can weave six or seven bamboo baskets a day, three bamboo baskets a day, and one or two smoked cages and book cages a day.At this rate, her daily income ranges from forty to eighty cash.

And never worry about no market, after all, Mingzhou's straw mats and bamboo and wood processed products can be sold overseas.

It’s just that if you do it alone, there will be certain risks, because once Lin Yongming terminates the cooperation with her, she will have to find a way to sell these finished products. After all, she currently does not have a stable sales channel other than Lin Yongming.

But she quickly replied to Lin Yongming: "The wages of Lou's workshop are indeed high, but I have my own plan, please ask Uncle Lin to reject Lou's for me."

Only then did Lin Yongming breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will help you refuse!"

The reason why Song Yuyan can make a decision so quickly is that she still trusts Lin Yongming, and secondly, she needs some free time to do her own things.And if she went to Lou's workshop and there were only two little radish heads in the house, she would not be at ease.

_____

Song Yuyan made a total of [-] Wen for this order, and after excluding the cost of straw mats and buying bamboo later, she still made a net profit of about [-] Wen.The [-] Wen seems to come easily, but in fact it is the reward of her tireless work. For this little money, her fingers have not felt better in this month.

According to the usual practice, Song Yuyan deducted part of it as material expenses and emergency reserves, and allocated part of it as Song Yuban's tuition fees in the future, and the remaining one-third was used for living expenses.Although the living expenses only accounted for one-third, the life of the Song family would not be too tight, at least they could afford oil and salt and an occasional meal of meat.

In the case of improved food, the faces of the three brothers and sisters of the Song family improved visibly in just one month. In addition, Song Yuyan's hygiene requirements for himself and his younger brothers and sisters were increasing day by day, so that every time Tang Zhi saw Song Yuzhuan When Little Luobotou was playing at the door, he wanted to pinch her fair little face.

Finally, one day, when Tang Zhi saw little luotou sneaking around in front of his house, he still couldn't help but go over and pinch her little cheek, and asked with a smile, "Binger, are you here to find your elder sister Ye Zi?" ?”

Song Yuzhuan was pinched in the face, puffed up his cheeks with some grievances, and handed her a small basket in his hand.

The small basket is only half the size of a pottery pot, and it is woven in twill, but it uses strips of dark and light colors, which are woven up and down, so that beautiful zigzagging patterns appear on the small basket.

What Tang Zhi finds most interesting is that there is a small lid that is also woven with bamboo strips. She has never seen anyone add a lid when weaving a basket. It is just like a teapot, so small and cute.

When she opened the lid, she saw a basket of red bayberries inside, which was unexpected: "This is..."

Song Xiaoluobotou secretly swallowed the bayberry in his mouth, and then said: "Uncle Lin gave it to me. Brother said we can't eat alone, so I want to give some to Sister Tang."

Although there are still half of the red bayberries at home, when Song Yuyan asked Xiaoluotou to bring them, she was still a little reluctant, so during this short distance, she secretly ate several red bayberries. Because of her guilty conscience, she never dared to enter Tang's house of.

Tang Zhi asked amusedly: "Didn't she say why she gave it to me?"

Song Xiaoluo tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Brother said, Sister Tang is kind and wants to repay her kindness."

"Is it because of her kindness?" Tang Zhi saw that she couldn't speak easily, so he didn't force her, "Then why didn't she come to see it off herself, but asked you to come?"

"Brother is carving bamboo." Song Xiaoluotou said while gesticulating, "It's such a small knife cutting back and forth on the bamboo."

Tang Zhi couldn't help muttering: "What novelty did she come up with?"

She asked Song Xiaoluotou to carry the red bayberry to Tang Ye to play, while she came to Song's house to find out.
