Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 396: Li Mingyou’s sincere love, hypocrisy and betrayal of Su Dongjia

Before Su's departure, the three bearded men said harsh words and left angrily.

To continue here is to lose face and dignity.

At this moment, Sun Ping didn't talk nonsense to them at all, because the cloth shop was already too busy.

For such a large number of high-quality fabrics on sale, even knowing that these fabrics have been splashed with feces and water cannot stop their desire to buy.

There is no way, cheap is always the last word.

At the same time, Su Jing's plan of directly paying ten times the compensation if quality problems were found directly caused customers to start choosing other fabrics.

After all, if you really buy it, you will make a lot of money.

The scene was extremely heated for a while.

While Sun Ping greeted the customers, he admired Su Jing's skills in his heart.

This boss of mine is so powerful, all the enemy's methods can be easily resolved in front of him.

Outside the cloth walk, Li Mingyou sat in a teahouse and watched everything quietly.

He proposed the plan of placing the order first and then raiding Su's Clothing Warehouse at night, but Li Mingyou was not involved in the formulation and execution of the plan.

Prudence is Li Mingyou's consistent characteristic.

Although he has always been bolder when it comes to gambling.

"My boss, you are really powerful. Using such methods, both elimination and attack, not only resolved the current crisis, but also gained a lot of benefits."

Li Mingyou took a sip of tea and said calmly: "It's just that it will be delivered tomorrow. Where did your goods come from?"

The most important thing about the whole thing is tomorrow's delivery.

If this batch of goods cannot be delivered, then this matter will not go through.

……

In the small courtyard, Su Jing was already boiling the separated dandelion root pulp in a sulfuric acid solution.

This step is quite dangerous, and Su Jing operates it very carefully.

After all, this skin is still good. If it is damaged, Su Jing will find it difficult to accept it.

During the boiling, some substances began to precipitate. This was rubber, but it was still mixed with many impurities. The appearance did not look similar to rubber at all.

Pour out these precipitated substances together with the sulfuric acid solution, and filter the liquid through a filter, leaving the filter residue.

Then we entered the drying step. Su Jing's alchemy furnace came in handy. The filter residue was poured into the alchemy furnace and dried slowly over low heat.

This step requires patience. If the fire is too big, the filter residue will be dried and burned. You can only use a small fire to do it little by little.

But now that she has reached this point, Su Jing has nothing to worry about.

The small fire in the alchemy furnace was roasting slowly, and Su Jing set up another barbecue grill.

But Su Jing didn't have time to prepare any meat skewers and vegetable skewers, only one carp and half a chicken.

"It smells so good! Sure enough, it has to be grilled over an open fire."

Su Jing sniffed it hard, and the fragrance produced by the Maillard reaction was fascinating.

"Master."

A figure appeared at the door of the small courtyard. It was Li Mingyou who was drinking tea in the teahouse just now.

"Oh, Shopkeeper Li, you came just in time. My fish and chicken will be roasted soon."

Su Jing said with a smile.

Li Mingyou walked slowly into the courtyard, without any restraint, and sat directly opposite Su Jing.

His eyes did not fall on the roasted chicken and fish, but looked at the alchemy furnace and said, "Is my boss going to make alchemy again?"

Su Jing shook her head and said: "I just use this stove to bake some gadgets. I can't practice elixir."

"If Shopkeeper Li wants to ask for a pill, I'm afraid he will be disappointed."

Li Mingyou immediately smiled and said: "My boss is joking. As you know, I am just interested in antiques and don't care much about other things."

Su Jing carefully controlled the amount of firepower and said with a smile: "Yes, shopkeeper Li is indeed an expert in antiques. Unfortunately, I don't have any valuable old objects in this house."

Li Mingyou poured a cup of tea and said, "My boss is very leisurely. There is a lot of noise outside, and you can still do such idle things in the yard. This is a state that I can't learn even if I want to."

Su Jing was still looking after the grill and the alchemy furnace, and said calmly: "A person's life is just about eating, drinking, sleeping, and sleeping. No matter how many things happen, you can't mess up the rhythm of your life. No, but Shopkeeper Li, now the business should be You are very busy, why are you here?"

"Hahaha, I really can't hide anything from my boss!"

Li Mingyou laughed and said: "Although the owner seems to be in a leisurely mood most of the time, he is fully aware of the operating conditions of each shop."

Su Jing turned the grilled fish over and said, "You are the boss after all, so you can't really be a hands-off shopkeeper. I just have a rough idea."

"Probably."

Li Mingyou looked at Su Jing, then took out an account book from under his sleeve and put it on the table: "Boss, it's time to collect the accounts. I saw that you haven't been to my place, so I brought the account book here. You can take a look at it. one time."

This operation really surprised Su Jing. When collecting the bill, he went to the shop to check the ledger himself, and Li Mingyou actually brought it himself.

Su Jing knew very well that Li Mingyou had other thoughts.

"Shopkeeper Li, we are different. Although you call me boss, we are a cooperative relationship. There is no need to send it here specially for things like checking accounts."

Su Jing said with a smile.

Su Jing rescued Li Mingyou back then and later opened an antique shop. Her original intention was just to expand her business.

The antique business requires too much eyesight. Su Jing knew that her skills were not good enough, and she had no intention of taking full control of it.

In addition, Li Mingyou's own business level was not low, so when the antique shop was finally opened, it was in the form of a partnership.

Of course, Su Jing must be the major shareholder, and Li Mingyou is technically a shareholder.

Li Mingyou shook his head and said: "My boss is wrong. Every tael of silver earned in the shop has a share of the boss. Brothers have to settle the accounts clearly, so naturally they have to look at this account book."

"Since Shopkeeper Li said so, it wouldn't be appropriate for me not to read it."

Su Jing took another look at the alchemy furnace to make sure the fire was not too high, then stood up and came to Li Mingyou to pick up the account book.

Li Mingyou smiled and sipped tea silently.

If he can bring the account book himself, he must be confident.

Of course, the purpose of his coming was not to give an account, but to see Su Jing's situation.

Now things are getting more and more serious, and Su Jing, the boss behind the scenes, is the key to everything.

However, just as Li Mingyou expected, this little thing now is not enough to make Su Jing lose her position.

Li Mingyou has been doing business in Lishui County for much longer than Su Jing. He has personally watched Su Jing grow up rapidly from an unknown young man in a very short period of time.If these things now really make Su Jing panic, then Li Mingyou will doubt whether Su Jing is still the original Su Jing.

Su Jing read page after page, very seriously, not just for show.

Since Li Mingyou came to the door, he had to show some attitude.

However, Su Jing still has to take care of the fire in the alchemy furnace from time to time. If it burns, it will be a waste of so many days of effort.

After about two sticks of incense passed, Su Jing finally finished reading.

"How about it? Boss, if you have any problems, just tell me and I will correct them."

Li Mingyou said immediately, with this attitude, if Su Jing had not known what he was thinking, I would probably think that this was a good partner.

Su Jing smiled and said: "No, shopkeeper Li's account books are very clear and there are no problems. It really makes me worry-free."

This was not a polite comment from Su Jing. There was indeed nothing wrong with the account book Li Mingyou sent.

"It's fine if there's no problem. If something goes wrong and the owner misunderstands, it's really not good."

Li Mingyou smiled slightly and put the account books away again.

Then, he changed his subject and said, "My boss, you should know about the cloth business."

Su Jing nodded and said: "You know, Sun Ping has already told me, and I asked him to deal with it. It must be very lively today. If I didn't have something to do, I would probably go over and take a look."

Li Mingyou said: "What a coincidence, I just came from the cloth shop, and my boss's methods are still as sharp as ever. I am really amazed."

"It's just a little trick. It's just for dealing with a few clowns. It's not worth mentioning."

Su Jing looked at Li Mingyou with a bit of a smile in her eyes.

Li Mingyou's face jumped slightly and he said: "What the boss said is true, but I heard that the goods that the cloth shop will deliver tomorrow are damaged. Is it easy for the boss to turn around? I happen to know a boss who runs a cloth shop. If it is still If you are in need of fabric, I can help contact the owner."

"Oh, shopkeeper Li also knows the boss of the cloth shop?"

Su Jing frowned slightly, and then said: "Except for my Su's Cloth Shop, there seems to be only one Dongming Cloth Shop among the cloth shops in the nearby counties. Could it be Dongming Cloth Shop that Shopkeeper Li is talking about?"

Li Mingyou bowed slightly and apologized slightly: "Don't blame me, boss. I also know that Dongming Cloth Shop and Su's Cloth Shop are in a competitive relationship. Originally, I shouldn't have too much contact with them in my capacity, but Dongming Cloth Shop My boss bought a lot of antiques from my shop. Is it a business? We are familiar with each other once and for all, and we can be regarded as half-friends."

Listening to what Li Mingyou said now, he was very sincere, and he even contacted Dongming Clothing Company, Su's rival.

But Li Mingyou would not be so kind.

"Ah."

Su Jing nodded and said: "What Shopkeeper Li said is reasonable. In fact, it doesn't matter. I have many shops, but the shopkeepers of each shop do their own work, let alone Shopkeeper Li. If Sun Ping and Dongming Cloth Shop If the boss becomes a friend, I will definitely not treat him lightly, but since Shopkeeper Li owns an antique shop, I will never have any other ideas."

Li Mingyou breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's fine if my boss doesn't mind. If my boss needs it, I can find the shopkeeper of Dongming Cloth Shop. Although it may not solve the problem of Su's Cloth Shop, I can always give it a try. "

Li Mingyou is still not sure where Su Jing's confidence comes from, so he wants to find out.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Li, for your kindness, but I don't think it's necessary yet. The matter of the cloth arrangement itself has nothing to do with Shopkeeper Li."

Li Mingyou immediately said: "My boss's words are wrong. It was you who helped me back then, which made me stand up again from the bottom. Now my boss is in trouble. I have the ability, how can I not help my boss?"

Another heartfelt words of "sincere love", Li Mingyou's acting skills are not bad.

Su Jing was silent for a while, the expression on her brows changed, as if she didn't even care about the alchemy furnace beside her.

"That's okay, now, I'm not fully prepared, but it's not much different. If I can make up for it, then there won't be any problems tomorrow."

Su Jing nodded, as if she had made a major decision.

Li Mingyou's face showed joy and he immediately said: "Thank you, my boss, for giving me this opportunity. In this case, I will go to the shopkeeper of Dongming Clothing Store now to see if there is any goods there. It will take more than an hour for the carriage to get there. I won’t waste my time.”

With that said, Li Mingyou stood up to leave.

Su Jing nodded and said: "Shopkeeper Li, go and come back quickly. I'm here to wait for the good news from Shopkeeper Li."

"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely solve this matter for you."

Li Mingyou waved his hand, stood up and left.

As soon as he reached the door, he realized something was wrong, and immediately turned around and asked: "By the way, boss, what is the style of this batch of goods?"

If he left on his own and settled the matter without asking any questions, it would be a bit self-inflicted.

Su Jing smiled and said: "There is only a shortage of a hundred pieces of blue-printed fabric now. I'm sorry to bother shopkeeper Li."

"understood."

Li Mingyou then turned around and left, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Su Jing watched Li Mingyou's leaving figure, waited until he was gone, and immediately returned to the alchemy furnace.

"It was so close, so close, I almost got burned."

Su Jing felt the temperature of the alchemy furnace increase, which was quite nervous.

That's right, in fact, Su Jing had been worried about the alchemy furnace just now, and he didn't pay much attention to the cloth arrangement.

Everything is just for acting for Li Mingyou.

It took a lot of effort to coax Li Mingyou away, but let’s look at the drying situation in the alchemy furnace.

Just when Su Jing was rejoicing, his nose moved.

"What's going on? Why does it smell burnt?"

Su Jing turned around and saw that one side of the grilled fish was already black, and the grilled chicken was almost burnt.

"oops!"

Su Jing hurriedly took down the fish and chicken, feeling very distressed.

At least one third of the parts cannot be eaten.

"What a sin! What a waste!"

Su Jing blamed herself so much that she could burn the fish and chicken.

It’s all this Li Mingyou’s fault!

Su Jing cursed secretly in her heart, and first took out the dried filter residue. This was simple rubber.

However, the impurity content is relatively high, and there is a big gap between it and the rubber on Su Jing in all aspects.

It is much better than the animal colloid extracted before, and can be processed into the shape you want.

Su Jing was not in a hurry to process rubber tires, as this amount was still too small.

Next he had to extract the rubber from the dandelion root bark.

Of course, before that, the burnt fish and chicken must be eliminated.
