Tongzhuang Shili Rice Flower Fragrance

The first few days of the rouge store's opening were as busy as fighting a war, and as Yu Fei had guessed earlier, the overall business began to stabilize, and Mingrou also began to expand a new rouge workshop in Tongzhuang.

After discussing with Ye Qiuniang, they decided to choose a site near the Zhuangzi compound, where the houses are concentrated and the manual deployment is convenient.

So I found someone to plan and started to break the ground. It's not a busy time for farming, so Tong Si will take care of these tasks.

As for the old workshop in the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, Zhong Tiantian Atao and Ming Rou are both busy. Now that the shop is open and the shipment of goods has increased, Zhong Lin has also been pulled over to help. Ye Qiuniang negotiated with several other families. Next, the isolated fields at the foot of the mountain are all planted with the flowers needed for rouge, making up for the shortage of other varieties of raw materials such as red and blue flowers on the mountain.

The farmers just plant flowers, and when the flowering period arrives, the workshop will directly purchase from them, without worrying about the sales volume or paying the land rent. The flowers can grow as soon as they are planted, and there is no need to take care of them at all, and the farmers have more spare time.

At that time, if the workshop needs labor, these people can just fill it up.

But there are also people who don't want to.

Just like the Xie family and the Chen family at the head of the village.

As soon as Ye Qiuniang saw these two families, she thought of Xie Dalai at home when she went to the mountains to collect honey. She felt disgusted and didn't bother to negotiate with them. Without planting, the combined land of the two families is no more than five or six mu of land, not bad for them."

Turn around and leave.

Seeing that she left without saying a word, Xie Da was very anxious. Originally, the rice fields were changed to plant flowers. This would be a lot of money for tenants like them. The price promised to harvest flowers is not low. In short, it is many times better than growing rice.

He just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to ask for some benefits before agreeing, but he didn't expect that Ye Qiuniang would just give up on negotiating with the two of them, so why didn't he feel anxious.

I wanted to chase Ye Qiuniang to talk to her, but was stopped by Tong Si.

"Xie Dalang, since you don't want to grow flowers, the owner will fulfill you, so why not be dissatisfied, but you should also think about it, this land is all Tongzhuang, you are just a group of tenants who depend on the owner for food, don't want to You can leave the rented land at any time. You must know that these fields on our Zhuangzi are good fields, and the rent is reasonable. There are many people waiting to rent our fields. shit."

What Tong Si said was that Ye Qiuniang and Ming Rou didn't want to give up the truth, and they didn't want to do things like drive people away. It's not that they can't afford it, otherwise the land will be clean up as soon as they don't let them plant it.

How can Mrs. Xie and her son not know this truth, but they have always been used to taking advantage of it. Seeing that Ye Qiuniang used to go to the field with her when she first arrived, they always thought it would be easy to bully, so they deliberately took Joe, wanting to take the opportunity Dip cheap.

It's a pity that stealing chickens won't cost you a lot of rice, and you won't grow flowers for these two families.

Chen Laosan looked at the back of Tong Si and others going away, and couldn't help scolding Xie Dao: "It's all your fault, if it weren't for your instigation, I would have planted flowers on my three acres of land, so why would I need to plant seedlings and grow rice? Trouble, when the time comes, when the flowers are harvested, people will lie down and sleep at home leisurely, and we are still harvesting rice in the fields, threshing millet and drying millet, do you think you are looking for sins?"

Xie Da naturally regretted it in his heart, but what can he do after the words have been spoken, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "This land is only our two's land without flowers, and it doesn't look good. Maybe the two of us are missing." We don’t have enough homes, and the person surnamed Ye will come to beg us in two days, no matter how bad it is, don’t we have other backers.”

Hearing what he said, Chen Laosan licked his two thick lips, and suddenly he had nothing to say, and turned around and went home with the hoe on his shoulder.

The construction of the new workshop went smoothly. Ming Rou planned to keep the old workshop, so that he could make new products. He could tinker with it when he had nothing to do at home. Other large-scale production, including the collection of fresh flower puree, were all moved. Go to the new workshop to do it, and Zhong Tiantian is the owner of the new workshop they focus on training.

The little girl has become more confident since seeing the results of her labor recognized by so many people, and she has become more energetic in her work. She dares to propose ideas in her heart. She has completely changed her body from a fragile little girl to a A courageous little girl.

Ever since Zhong Lin knew Ye Qiuniang's identity, the last fire in his heart was extinguished, and he couldn't think about it anymore. Under Zhong's father's arrangement, he got engaged to a little girl from the next village, and the couple were both in Zhuangzi. Seeing that he was becoming more and more stable while working, Tong Guanshi entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

After the new workshop was built, Zhong Tiantian directly took over the management of the entire workshop with Ming Rou's encouragement, and A Tao assisted, Ming Rou didn't need to worry too much about the production of rouge, and only needed to go to check occasionally.

As for the opening of branches in the nearby counties and counties, Fushui Yao took the lead to investigate the field situation, manage the local government and streets, investigate the people's buying images, etc. Once these preliminary matters are settled, it's time for Yu Fei to make an appearance.

To be honest, once the Mingyan rouge gouache store in Pingle County is stabilized, the daily management will not be able to control Yu Fei. Mingrou can see that her energy is not limited to this, and naturally she does not want to simply trap her in a certain place. In one store, it is also envisaged that once there are multiple stores opened, it will be fine for her to manage them in a unified manner.

Now there is a dedicated person in charge of everything, Ming Rou is finally not as busy as before, but Ye Qiuniang's farm has fertile land, shops, and other industries that require her to move around, so she still can't be free, and the two still live at the foot of the mountain In the small courtyard, Ye Qiuniang cooks breakfast every morning before going out, Ming Rou is also used to this rhythm and days.

I have nothing to do this day, so I want to go to the new workshop to have a look. When I arrive, I can see that three or five workers in the workshop are busy, picking flowers, boiling pulp, and packing boxes. They are in good order and can be seen clearly There was a burst of relief in Rou's heart.

When asked where Master Zhong was, someone pointed to the greenhouse.

Mingrou went there with brisk steps, but she just went in for a while, and then she came out again, her face was still flushed when she came out.

Passing by the stewing workers, the women couldn't help asking: "Patriarch, is Master Zhong Fang not here?"

Ming Rou hurriedly shook her head and said: "Yes, I suddenly remembered that I was in a hurry to leave first, and I will come to find her next time."

The woman was puzzled, but she didn't know why the Patriarch's footsteps were so flustered, but the little face was pink, which was really pretty.

Not long after, Zhong Tiantian also came out of the greenhouse, followed by A Tao, the expressions of the two were a little unnatural.

The woman hurriedly said: "Master, just now the owner of the house came, went in to look for you, didn't you find anyone?"

Zhong Tiantian was startled, and subconsciously turned around to look at A Tao, who also froze for a moment, then scratched his head in embarrassment, and said to Zhong Tiantian: "Hee hee, it's okay, I'll go back and talk to you She said it."

Zhong Tiantian's face turned red with embarrassment: "What should I say... cough cough, let's not talk about it."

Atao: "Uh..."

Ming Rou, who had just left the house, was thinking about what she saw when she entered the greenhouse just now as she walked, Zhong Tiantian leaned against the back of the wall, closed her eyes, while A Tao leaned down, and touched her lips superficially, Then the two hugged each other...

Mingrou's thoughts instantly jumped to more than half a year ago. At that time, the Mingyan Rouge Gouache shop had just opened. In that dim warehouse, Ye Qiuniang's heavy breathing sounded in her ears. Thinking about it now, her heart still couldn't help but pounding. jump straight.

So that's how Jiujiu kissed himself that day.

Thinking of the nights after that day, Ye Qiuniang forbears and restrains herself, and sleeps away from herself every night. At the beginning, she still has some opinions. You can hear that she has been thinking too much recently, and her sleep is not very good. , and had no choice but to stare helplessly and let her stay away.

Thinking of the intoxicated appearance of Tiantian and Atao just now, Mingrou's whole body was hot, and felt her heart swell, and her mind was full of the shadow of Ye Qiuniang, which couldn't be shaken off.

He wanted to find her, but when he thought about what the person said before going to bed last night, he was going to a restaurant in the city to discuss business today, and he might not come back too early, so he had to give up.

When she got home, the yard was quiet, even the big goose didn't know where to play, Ming Rou sat on the bench in the corner, her mind flooded with the past events, as if it happened yesterday.

Recalling that time when she was preparing to drink sunflower water, her chest was swollen and painful, and she wanted Ye Qiuniang to rub her eyes, Ming Rou recalled the feeling of being angry because of the other party's rejection at that time, but now recalling it, her heart is sour. Feeling sore and swollen, and the other party's repeated temptations, about marriage and children, Mingrou suddenly felt that certain thoughts in her mind became clear.

Thinking of that gentle woman, she looked extremely calm and generous in front of others, but when facing herself, she was always cautious, afraid that she would know, and also afraid that she would not know, Mingrou knew that no matter what Ye Qiuniang did, They are all very assertive, and it is rare for them to be so afraid of wolves and tigers, but when facing themselves alone, they are not so straightforward.

Thinking of this, for some reason, he felt sorry for her.

I was in a trance for a while, I didn't know when it was dark, until there were footsteps at the door, and with a creak, someone pushed the door and came in.

"Rou'er—"

Ming Rou raised her head and looked at the tall woman in front of her. The mature and cold temperament on her body made people unable to move their eyes away. Ming Rou stared at her blankly. The woman in front of her overlapped with the shadow that always accompanied her when she was a child. A little familiar and a little strange.

But the other party's eyes were full of emotion as always, and he was still looking at him so hotly.

Ming Rou watched her squat down, her eyes were level with her, listening to the gentle and familiar voice in her ear.

"Rou'er, why are you sitting here blankly?"

Suddenly, Ming Rou felt tears welling up in her eyes, she lowered her head and wept softly.

I don't know if it's because of being moved by being cherished, or because of the shock caused by the emotional ups and downs for a while, I just want to shed tears, and think that the person in front of me can comfort me with gentle words.

Ye Qiuniang was terrified at this moment, she hurriedly grabbed her hand, touched her face lightly with one hand, and asked eagerly, "Why are you crying? What makes you feel uncomfortable?"

"Jiu Jiu, Jiu Jiu—" Ming Rou cried, putting her arms around her neck.

"Don't cry, I'm here."

Ye Qiuniang didn't ask any more questions, but stretched out his hand to encircle her waist, put his palm on her back and stroked it gently, patiently waiting for her to calm down.

After a long time, the person in her arms finally raised her head from her shoulders, looking at the other's little red nose, Ye Qiuniang smiled lovingly, tapped the tip of her nose lightly and said, "Enough crying."

"enough."

"Are you hungry? I'll go cook."

"I won't let you go."

"If you don't go, no one will cook, and there will be a little crying bag and you will be hungry."

"I do not care."

"Otherwise, if you grab my belt, you can follow me whatever I do, okay?"

"Hmph, it's hard to promise you."
