chance world

"Miss?" Ding Qiyu was puzzled.

"Oh, the eldest lady is Wang Sui's boss." The shopkeeper explained, "Is the young master free? Are we going now?" The shopkeeper couldn't wait to solve the matter of Fanmi as soon as possible.

Ding Qiyu agreed: "Okay, no problem, please let the shopkeeper lead the way." I was a little curious about the "eldest lady" in the shopkeeper's mouth. Wang Sui is the shop of the Fu family, a business giant Is the helmsman a woman?

The shopkeeper explained a few words to the people in the store and walked out of Wangsui. At this time, the shower had subsided, and Ding Qiyu followed behind the shopkeeper with an umbrella. The magnificent and luxurious "Fu Mansion" in the center passed by without stopping.Ding Qiyu couldn't help but wondered: "Shopkeeper, isn't your master's residence right there just now?"

The shopkeeper immediately understood, and said with a smile: "My lord, I don't know, Fu's mansion is the owner's mansion. Missy doesn't live there."

Ding Qiyu nodded thoughtfully, but the doubts in his heart were even worse. It turned out that the Fu family also had a "Patriarch", "Patriarch" and "Miss", who is the boss of the Fu family?

The shopkeeper sighed and said: "Everyone in Jiangnan knows the Fu family in Jiangnan, but they don't know that there are actually two Fu families in Jiangnan..."

Ding Qiyu was embarrassed to inquire about other people's family affairs, no matter how curious he was, he was not prepared to ask further.Following the shopkeeper, he gradually moved away from the center of Yinzhou City and came to the east of Yinzhou City.This place is obviously not in the same style as the bustling and noisy center of Yinzhou. It is much quieter and more elegant. There are few pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, one or two awning boats float by on the road, but it has a more misty and rainy Jiangnan charm than the bustling center.

From a distance, I saw a green hill with white pagodas and temple complexes on the green hill.At the foot of the Qingshan Mountain, there is a simple and introverted, but rather grand courtyard. It leans against the Qingshan Mountain and is independent from the east corner of the city.Willow dikes surround the courtyard, and below the dike is a small river.At this time, the courtyard is hidden in the misty rain and mist, which is a little misty, giving people a sense of indifference and tranquility, like a Yiren standing in the mist and rain, peaceful and serene.Just seeing her blurred figure can make people calm down their chaotic and complicated mood, looking forward to Yi Ren's staring eyes for ten thousand years.

Walking through the stone bridge carved with cockroaches, we came to the gate of the courtyard. On the plaque of the ebony courtyard gate were written the words "Qingliu Garden". The handwriting was thin, but very beautiful. There were several Female guard with a halberd in hand.

The shopkeeper walked over with Ding Qiyu, the female guard recognized the shopkeeper, and naturally passed smoothly.Entering the courtyard, I feel that the garden lives up to its name. There are green willows planted on the pavilions, waterside pavilions and independent courtyards in the garden. The green willows are swaying in the rain, and only the ancient temple bells and the rain falling from the green hills can be heard. rustle.What kind of Yiren should the girl who lives in such a Zen-like and poetic courtyard be?Ding Qiyu's heart became more and more curious and anticipating.

Enjoying the journey, the shopkeeper stopped at the entrance of the courtyard named "Ningxintang" in the garden. He must have arrived at the office of the "Miss" and asked the maid standing at the entrance of the courtyard to go in and report. After a while, a The maid led the two into the yard.

The maid stepped forward and knocked on the carved wooden door of the pavilion, only to hear a cold voice from inside: "Come in."

Ding Qiyu was taken aback when he heard the sound, why did the voice sound familiar?Before he had time to think clearly, the shopkeeper had already entered the room, and Ding Qiyu had no choice but to follow in. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a plain white figure in front of the desk. Ding Qiyu was very surprised, and blurted out: "It's you!" The shopkeeper preparing to salute.

It turned out that this mysterious "Miss" of the Fu family in the south of the Yangtze River was the "fairy" she met on the bridge on the Jingyue Festival!Today she is wearing a pair of skirts with different styles from that day, but she is still dressed in plain color, and she is writing something with her head down and a pen.

The girl in white paused, raised her head, saw Ding Qiyu, thought about it a little bit, and remembered who Ding Qiyu was. It turned out that he was always in a daze on Jingyue Festival and wanted to "send lights".Seeing Ding Qiyu's jaw drop to the ground, the girl in white felt that he was stunned, and nodded following Ding Qiyu's intention: "Well, it's me."

The shopkeeper next to him was completely puzzled by the riddle of the two.

The girl in white's answer made Ding Qiyu realize his impoliteness in an instant, and he quickly bowed his hands: "Uh, miss? I'm Ding Qiyu, I'm a mechanism artist. I came to bother you today because I want to recommend my rice sieving machine to the miss. It can help Guipu looks forward to overcoming the 'blast rice' difficulty." I secretly scolded myself for being stupid in front of this girl!

The girl in white who had been briefed before simply explained Ding Qiyu's intentions, put down the pen in his hand, and said to the shopkeeper: "Uncle Yuan, go back and do your work. I'll talk to this young master."

"Yes, miss." The shopkeeper ordered, and exited the room respectfully.

The girl in white made a gesture of asking to sit down, and said to Ding Qiyu, "Can you tell me more about it?"

Ding Qiyu thanked her and sat down on the chair under the hall, probably this is where the "Miss" often listens to her subordinates' reports.Ding Qiyu began to introduce his mechanism: "The reason why 'blast rice' is difficult to sieve is because the current sieves are used to distinguish good rice, chaff and sub-rice by size. My rice sieving machine does not work like this, but uses sieve by weight." As she spoke, she took out the notebook in her carry-on kit, rummaged through it, found the sketch of the rice sifter inside, got up and walked to the table, and placed the sketch in front of the girl in white, as if smelling it in her breath. With a hint of cold fragrance, Ding Qiyu didn't care about it, and pointed to the sketch to explain the principle of the rice sifter, "...that's it, just pour the mixed grains into the inlet of the rice sifter, and then turn the side of the rice sifter the wooden handle, the fan blade inside the rice sieving machine will rotate, and the particles with different weights will be sent to different outlets to flow out. In this way, good rice, chaff, sub-rice and blast rice can be screened out quickly. And even if This time the rice blast is over, there is no more blast rice, and the rice sieving machine is much more efficient than the original sieve.”

After listening to Ding Qiyu's explanation, the girl in white felt that this method was very good. She asked Ding Qiyu about the production time and price of the rice sieving machine, and it was quite suitable. Detailed, aren’t you afraid that I’ll tear down bridges and find someone else to do the same thing?”

Ding Qiyu was in high spirits, choked by her words, thought for a moment, and then smiled and said: "That day, the girl next to the eldest lady knew that 'businessmen are not profitable', so Qiyu said it the other way around, 'Businessmen who are dishonest have no profit', I wonder if Missy thinks it makes sense?"

It's not too dull... The girl in white thought about it, but didn't answer Ding Qiyu's question. She changed the subject and said, "The rice sieving machine is just your idea on paper. I can't make a decision without seeing the real thing. The last time The lamp, after walking back from the city to the Qingliu Garden, can no longer be moved, and it was broken after only one fall, the master's ingenuity..." The girl in white didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was self-evident.

"What? Broken, broken?" Ding Qiyu was embarrassed and annoyed. This was the first time someone questioned her mechanism skills in Daqian!I couldn't help but anxiously wanted to make amends, "It should be that the mechanism is loose, the girl brought it to me to have a look, and it will be fixed soon!"

The girl in white shook her head, and turned the topic back to the rice sieving machine: "Let the valley farm in the southwest of the city try Mr. Ding's rice sifting machine first, five sets, delivery within two days, can it be done?"

Since people don't talk about it, they must rely on this business to save their reputation!Ding Qiyu immediately nodded and promised: "No problem! Miss, I'll go back and get it right now." He made up his mind, this time he must make a rice sieving machine that can't be broken by lightning!I also have a deeper consideration in my heart. If this order can be done well, I can strive for greater cooperation.

The girl in white nodded politely: "Go slowly." After finishing speaking, she picked up her pen and lowered her head to continue her previous work.

When Ding Qiyu walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, Missy, I am not a man. Missy can just call me by my name from now on." It is enough to meet, if there is other cooperation, then there will not be too few opportunities to contact this young lady. Although even if there is contact, it will only be business contact, but after being hit by Wei Xi and Lian Er, She no longer wants to have any "beautiful misunderstanding" with a beautiful woman.

It's not a man?The girl in white felt a bit of surprise in her heart, she looked up at Ding Qiyu, and after a while, she moved back to the account book on the table, nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

"Um..." No response? !Ding Qiyu was a little reconciled, and added, "I am a woman just like you."

This time the girl in white didn't even raise her head, she replied flatly, "Whether you're a man or a woman doesn't affect our contract."

This calm reaction made Ding Qiyu very discouraged. She thought she would be surprised, but the result was that expressionless expression all the time. Although the veil covered her face, it was enough to guess from her plain "um". Her expression now.But when you think about it, it has nothing to do with her whether you are a man or a woman, so just take it as a frankness for possible future cooperation.Thinking so, Ding Qiyu quickly left Qingliu Garden, and went back to work on the rice sieving machine that "cannot be broken by lightning".

After being stimulated for a while, Ding Qiyu went back and checked the strength of each key position of the rice sifter overnight before calling a buddy to make it together.When it came to the parts bearing load and force, they were all made by Ding Qiyu himself, and he didn't dare to pretend to be others. Moreover, he paid special attention to the workmanship, and the five rice sieving machines were completed on schedule.Although I dare not say that it can withstand lightning strikes, this rice sieving machine is absolutely of excellent quality, and it will not break after ten years of use!

The five rice sieving machines were sent to the valley field in the southwest of Yincheng in two batches. The manager of the valley field had already sent someone to invite the eldest lady. When the mechanism was in place, the person also arrived.

The girl in white is still dressed in white today, and Ding Qiyu doesn't know why she likes white so much. Behind her is the maid named "Yinsu" and the two female guards that day. As soon as she stepped into the gate of the valley, everyone nearby who saw her The workers stood up straight and saluted, "Miss!"

The girl in white nodded to the workers, and Ding Qiyu went up to salute and said, "Miss, the rice sieving machines you asked for are all in the backyard, and you can go to watch and try them out now."
