Stingy Husband Farming

Song Bai: "..."

Song Bai: "???"

Is the heart of a human being so dirty?He glanced at the couple rather inexplicably, but didn't explain anything.Sometimes the language is very pale, and others will think that you are trying to hide your face, so you can simply express it with actions, and say to the Yingying Yanyan in the yard: "You are good at weaving, and you can play with the loom." , stand aside."

I didn't look closely at their appearance, and didn't pick and choose. I directly put forward my own criteria for judging: not only weaving, but also good craftsmanship.

The girls were silent for a while, and then a few people who were confident in their craft came out of the line and stood in the open space on the left.

Naturally, there are also some who actually have good skills, but have great ambitions and are unwilling to be a weaver girl, so they bowed their heads silently.

However, even if the candidates who stood up left the team, they did not stand together. Instead, they stood at the left end of their own ranks according to their own worth, so that buyers could distinguish prices easily, and it was very orderly.

The girls standing in the first row looked at each other a few times, and they were all a little bit unwilling.Their looks are much better than the second-class and third-class maids, and they are all trained to be close-fitting maids or housemaids. They are also old, and they are naturally more attracted to Song Bai than being bought by those elderly masters. A handsome young man.

If I could serve such a handsome young master...Seeing that Shen Mu who was standing next to him didn't talk much, as if he was a gentle and good-tempered person who didn't pay attention, they all started to think about it.

But this young man only said that he wanted to be good at weaving, and he didn't look at their appearance.Their embroidery and needlework skills are good, and the rough work of weaving is naturally inferior to the second and third class maids, and because of Ren Yazi's strict discipline, they hesitate to come out, so they can only secretly hate in their hearts.

A total of seven people stood up, three second-class maids and four third-class maids.

Song Bai didn't just let them believe that they were good at their skills, so he said to Ren Yazi: "There must be looms in the courtyard of the two of you, can you let these girls operate it, I also want to see what weaves. finished product."

The round-faced woman also knew at this moment that she had misunderstood Song Bai's meaning.The sentimental family wants to recruit some people in weaving.Many wealthy families will raise some needleworkers at home, mainly embroiderers, but only a few of them will weave. After all, women in Nanping Prefecture can weave.

But not without it.Although she didn't understand why the housekeeper had to come in person instead of the housekeeper, the round-faced woman responded quickly: "Of course there will be, you two come with me."

After a pause, he said again: "Actually, there are some... daughter-in-laws at home who are also capable of weaving. It's just that they don't look good, so I'm afraid of dirtying the eyes of the nobles. If you don't mind, Why don't you call and take a look?"

Song Bai naturally agreed to everything.The round-faced woman quickly told the remaining maids to dismiss and asked her man to call someone.

When the first-class maids left, they looked back frequently, showing a look of reluctance for Song Bai.

No matter how dull Shen Mu was at this moment, he understood, and gave Ren Yazi a little unhappy look.

He was tired enough to guard against the people in the village throwing themselves into his arms, how could these people send so many Yingyingyanyans under his nose?

The round-faced woman knew she was in the wrong, but she had made a mistake, so she shrank her neck and pretended to call someone to go, avoiding Shen Mu's knife-like gaze.

Shen Mu's eye knife couldn't poke human teeth, so he vented his anger on Song Bai: "Attract bees and butterflies!"

Song Bai: "???" Blame me?

Facing his husband's unfriendly expression, Song Bai suddenly softened: Yes, that's right, it's all my fault for being too beautiful.

"Then why don't I cover my face next time when I go out?" Song Bai said with a troubled look.

Thinking of that scene, Shen Mu couldn't help laughing: "Forget it...it's not your fault."

Whose fault is that?

So the round-faced woman went out for a while, and when she came back, she found that the little husband's eyes were still sharp, which made her sweat.

Fortunately, the person has already been found, Song Bai and Shen Mu's attention was quickly attracted.

This time the round-faced woman and her husband each brought a row of people, not many in number, only twelve in total: Compared with Yingying and Yanyan from the previous yard, the ones who came this time were the good-looking people of the general public.

There were even three people who were tattooed.

The round-faced woman introduced in a low voice: "These three were originally officials, and they were sold into slavery after committing a family crime... But the craftsmanship is really good. The little girl bought by our family, usually They are the ones who taught us how to weave."

"However, the price of officials and family members is also more expensive. In addition, the two next to each other are 15 taels of silver each. The rough envoy's daughter-in-law and mother-in-law are worth [-] taels each. These are all good weavers here."

Those rough envoys are obviously peasant women, with rough hands and feet.

Speaking of this, the round-faced woman also murmured in her heart, didn't you say that you would be able to weave?I don't get me wrong...it's not going to get you people straight away.

But she just thought about it in her heart and didn't dare to complain.

A group of people came to a room full of looms. There were several seven or eight-year-old children who were still practicing weaving. Ren Yazi drove them out. The finished products woven in the past were shown to Song Bai for review, and everyone was asked to knit a few times by themselves.Song Bai asked some simple questions, and finally selected ten people to buy.

The three tattooed women are really skilled, the cloth they weave is dense and smooth, and the peasant women who are rough make it easy to work, and they can weave two bolts of cloth in a day with quick hands and feet.

If you want them to have some technical exchanges, the cloth weaves will be even more exquisite.On the contrary, most of the maids selected at the beginning were rejected, leaving only two.

After paying the money and keeping the deed, the two returned to the inn with a group of people.Song Bai still remembered what Shen Mu said when he went out, and he said: "If you have something you want to buy, now you have servants, and someone can carry your things."

Shen Mu was puzzled: "Is there anything I want to buy... Well, I can buy some."

After thinking about it, if you buy the servants, you have to provide them with food and clothing. The cloth in Nanping Prefecture is cheap, so it's better to buy some here first.

Song Bai also thought of this.Anyway, it's here, just in time to buy some more goods.He and Song Xie have been exchanging letters, and have been paying attention to the cloth business in Xing'an County, knowing which ones in the store are selling well and which ones are not. .

The two of them took another person to buy some cloth.In addition to letting the servants hold the ones for their own use, they also bought several large vehicles and transported them to Xing'an County by the Nanping Prefecture Employed Escort Bureau.After a delay of several days, a carriage was hired to take the ten newly purchased technicians and some cloth soil instruments back to Fengshui County.

However, in Xing'an County, the Song family's cloth shop is now flourishing, while the Mei family's business is becoming more and more sparse.

Master Mei watched helplessly as his family's business was eroded bit by bit, but he was helpless.

Although the supply of goods from Meijia is also in the south, it is not as far away as Nanping Prefecture. The transportation of finished products is low, but the purchase price is higher than that of Nanping Prefecture, and the weaving skills are also inferior.

Although the Song family spent more money on transportation, the low purchase price was considered even.In addition, the quality of the goods is good, and the life of the people is refined. After a serious comparison, it is naturally more inclined to Song's cloth village.

"Let's change the source of goods too! Go to the south to buy goods!" Master Mei was so angry that he dropped his account book.

The accountant and the butler had a bitter face: "Master, the south is not peaceful now, especially when passing through Yuhu Prefecture... Song Family Zhengjun's eldest brother was originally a soldier, and there are robes for protection everywhere, but our family does not have one. …”

Like this time when the Song family's goods were transported into Xing'an County, according to Master Mei's intention, it was to cause some stumbling blocks. It would be best to find someone to rob their goods... But the escort agency the Song family found It was also opened by one of Uncle Song Bai's robes. He has some face everywhere, not to mention the officers and soldiers, and the small-scale bandits dare not provoke them at all.

It's not a caravan passing by, but the complex network of relationships behind them.The Mei family could only watch as the Song family's goods entered Xing'an County safely.

"What are a few soldiers!" Master Mei said angrily, "Could it be that our Mei family can't get acquainted with officials?!"

The butler and the accountant looked at each other, and dared not speak.

Naturally, it's not that I can't afford to get acquainted, but I don't have any friendship at first, so if I insist on getting acquainted, I have to give money.You and I don't have a chance, do you rely on me to spend money?Besides, the king of Hades is easier to deal with than the little devil, and he still has to deal with it when the time comes.How much does it cost to go back and forth?The cost is not worth it.

Now the Mei family's business profits are very low, and the accumulated goods cannot be sold, and several shops are already living on their laurels, and it would be too risky to change the source of goods hastily.

How could Master Mei not know?It's just talking when I'm angry, and I know it's not feasible when I'm angry.

"I asked you to keep an eye on that brother of the Song family, what's the matter?"

Speaking of Song Xie, the housekeeper even had a headache.This one is different from his big brother who travels all over the world just thinking about making money, he has never seen such a lazy boss! "Usually he works at three o'clock and one line, at home, in shops, in restaurants, not to mention taking orders, he doesn't go to places with few people. The work of running errands is pushed to the underlings, saying that his two cousins ​​are in charge. That's it. Those two people are also smart..."

He didn't even give him a chance to make dirty tricks.

Master Mei was silent for a long time, and his face finally revealed a dejected look: "Could it be... that our Mei family's foundation for several generations is going to be destroyed by me?"

"You ask the shop below to take out the old cloth with poor quality accumulated in the warehouse and sell it at a discount. Let's survive this period of time... There will always be a way... There will always be a way There is a way..."

"And that Song Xie, keep watching me closely! I don't believe it anymore, Baimi still has another one!"

At this time, Song Xie didn't know that the Mei family was so bold that they just followed him in the downtown area.He is stable because...he is really that lazy.

The unloading was completely arranged for Li Jia and Xue Lei, allowing them to keep their feet on the ground, and he could eat snacks at the teahouse with peace of mind. "This is what the superior should do. Use people freely. Whoever is as stupid as my elder brother has to do everything by himself." Song Xie held a piece of water tower cake and murmured, "Of course, some rewards should be given appropriately. If If they can do a good job before I finish eating, reward them to eat pastry with me."
