suspected wife

Although the several bamboo carvings are not yet in the final stage of finished products, their general shapes have already emerged.

Father He's beautiful girl Zhang Fei, He Xiaochun's girly girl, He San's Antarctic fairy, Yue Dalei's bun-haired boy, He Xia's boatman.Each one exudes the beauty of natural form.

Zhou Yanqing took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. He didn't expect that this humble and discarded bamboo carving could be made into such an exquisite thing.Even shopkeeper Yu, who doesn't talk much, held it in his hand and praised it repeatedly.

"Miss Qiao, are you going to do bamboo carving?"

Zhou Yanqing looked at the woman in front of her and became more and more curious.

How did this brain grow?A country woman doesn't talk about helping her husband and daughter at home, doing housework, and working in the fields, but she actually thinks about these weird things.

I should have gotten a lot of money from selling the abacus before, and I didn’t see anything added to the house, not even a chair, not to mention the paving of bricks and stones in the yard, and the tea was something that their servants would not drink. .

But it's also strange, he has been in the door for so long, why is she the only one serving as the host?There were quite a few men, but except for the brother Yun who brought them here, who was her cousin, the others seemed to be hired by her to do work.

Where did the hostess go?

Zhou Yanqing looked at the little girl who was sitting quietly on a wooden stake in the yard with her aunt, and was puzzled.

Is this child a fatherless one?

Yu Ding looked at Zhou Yanqing and didn't know where his soul was flying, so he could only ask: "Is Mrs. Qiao selling this thing now?"

Qiao Mingjin said: "This is just for them to practice. If there are a lot of bamboo roots like this, you can create something. It's just that this is a small thing after all. It takes time and effort, and it's not worth a lot of money. I want to Do something big."

Zhou Yanqing suddenly became interested.With scorching eyes, and with the fanaticism of a businessman, he asked, "What big thing is Miss Qiao going to do?"

Qiao Mingjin looked at him, his mind spinning quickly.

In fact, she hasn't fully thought about this matter yet.

It only takes a few days to dig a tree stump, and another ten days and a half months to wait for it to dry.Then preliminary processing, rough carving, fine carving, splicing, coloring... and so on, after several processes, it is estimated that it takes one or two months for a wooden stake to be finished.

Besides, as she asked for more and more stakes, there must be room for them.Drying in the woods is not realistic.The forest is humid in the morning and evening, and the dry time is too long.And if it rains, the drying process done before will be in vain.

Such a big wooden stake.Even the backyard of her house can't pile up many, and there is still room for the masters to create.At least the surrounding areas of the wooden piles should be left vacant.

And just a few of them estimate that there will not be a few finished products by the end of the year.

Although it is necessary to work slowly and carefully, and some collectibles need to be carefully carved, but she is not the kind of money that can afford it.

At least for now, she has to get out their creative space, and prepare a larger place or warehouse to hold these wooden stakes.

Finding someone to cooperate with is a must.Not to mention money, the most important thing is material resources.And she lacks carpenters who are good at carpentry.

After Qiao Mingjin went through it in her heart.Then he said: "It's really difficult for me to do this on my own. It's not a climate. I'm also planning to find a partner to do this. It's just that I haven't figured out all the regulations yet."

Zhou Yanqing immediately became excited.

Although he didn't know exactly what this woman was going to do, he only saw the abacus she took out and this thing called a pulley.I knew that what she was going to do was something that would be very profitable.

Immediately asked: "What are you going to do? And how do you plan to cooperate?"

Qiao Mingjin glanced at him, and found that the shopkeeper of Yuji was also looking at her with interest, and said, "We'll talk about this matter later, let's talk about the pulley. If you are not sincere, neither will I." I need to find you to cooperate. Last time I sold the abacus, I also met a lot of big households in the city, and I believe many of them are interested."

That Zhou Yanqing gave her a strange look, and said, "Leave our Zhou family alone. How can anyone be so easy to talk to?"

Qiao Mingjin said with a smile: "I don't see that Mr. Saturday is easy to talk at all."

The shopkeeper of Yuji said: "Although I don't know what Mrs. Qiao is going to do, I think it is similar to these bamboo carvings. I don't speak for him because I know him. If you find someone to cooperate with, the current Qingchuan County Zhou Mansion His strength should not be underestimated, and other people are not bad, but I dare say that Master Saturday is indeed the best collaborator."

When Zhou Yanqing heard that, he immediately became in high spirits.

"It's rare that you said something fair for me." Turning around, he wanted to pat Yu Ding on the shoulder, but Yu Ding glared at him, and put his hand down embarrassingly.

Qiao Mingjin looked at the relationship between the two and was really curious.

It seems to be very familiar, and it seems to be separated by some distance.It is said that the Zhou family is rich and powerful, Yuji is just a blacksmith's shop, not to mention flattery, and it is not enough for Master Zhou to treat him so politely.

She didn't ask if she couldn't figure it out.

Zhou Yanqing moved a little away from Yu Ding that day, and said to Qiao Mingjin: "To tell you the truth, Mrs. Qiao, I am sure to win this pulley. You probably know that there are people in our capital of Zhoufu. Others may only want to be innocent. We want to do some business to make some money, but our Zhou Mansion has a lot to worry about. Sometimes we can achieve both fame and fortune, and we will never let it go. Sometimes, it is thankless and we just make wedding clothes for others We have to do it too.”

"You pulley, since Yuji gave you 2000 taels, I am willing to pay you bonuses every year. Our Zhou Mansion will give you 3000 taels, and we don't say anything about bonuses. You have to worry about checking the account books every year. Presumably you don’t want to bother about it. 3000 taels, and it’s the same as abacus beads, if someone takes a closer look at this thing, say it’s from my Zhou family, how about it?”

Qiao Mingjin didn't think that he could keep the naming rights of this thing after making it.His status is more than a few streets higher than hers.

And she didn't want to show it off.I just want to make some money and not worry too much about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "It's just that Shopkeeper Yu said he wanted it just now. Then..."

Zhou Yanqing smiled and said: "Don't worry, we have to hand over the production in Qingchuan and several nearby cities to them. We have a carpenter's shop under our name, but we don't have a blacksmith's shop. I will talk to Shopkeeper Yu."

Yu Ding also nodded to Qiao Mingjin.

He said before that he wanted to buy this because he didn't like Zhou Yanqing's low price.In terms of craftsmanship, he can't look down on Zhou Fu, but in terms of operation, he is nothing more than a blacksmith.

It is more important than anything else to earn some small money safely and steadily.It's not like he hasn't experienced strong winds and waves.

Qiao Mingjin thought for a while, then looked at Yun Jin who was stunned beside him, and the other people who were eager to nod their heads to the ground, and nodded in agreement.

The two parties signed an agreement, stating that the pulley will belong to the Zhou family from today.

That Zhou Yanqing took out a kit from her body, and gave Qiao Mingjin a few silver notes from it, which was exactly 3000 taels.

Qiao Mingjin took a look at this person, and it was obvious that he had a plan to go out with so much money.At least in his mind, 3000 taels was still an acceptable price for him.

What a scammer.

At first it was cut in half.I don't know how many banknotes there are in the kit, maybe that is his bottom line, and the price is really low.

The two parties signed the agreement and paid off the money.This matter is considered a great joy.

That Zhou Yanqing was still thinking about what she did, something bigger than bamboo carving.He asked anxiously.

Qiao Mingjin got up and invited them out.

Zhou Yanqing and Yu Ding followed behind with puzzled expressions.

Where is this going?What did you do?

Seeing Yunjin and Qiao Mingjin leading them into the mountain ahead, I became even more curious.

The coachman and servant followed his master nervously, and even tugged on his sleeve to remind him.

Is this going into the mountains to grab the son's money?There are many people in this country, and they are very uncivilized. If they all rushed to grab them, the three of them would be no match for them!

That look made Qiao Mingjin, who occasionally looked back, secretly overjoyed.

This is for fear that she will rob her of money and sex.

In other words, Zhou Yanqing really has a good appearance this Saturday.It is a clothes hanger in itself, and it is dressed in a well-fitting sapphire blue hang silk straight embroidered, and the cloud boots with gold hoops and jade belts look even more handsome.

The more we entered the mountain, the more people there became.

Many unmarried young women in the family also came out to dig tree stumps to help the family.Seeing such an outstanding Zhou Yanqing at this meeting, everyone blushes and their hearts beat endlessly.Where have you seen such a character in this country?

Many people also stopped their work to say hello to Qiao Mingjin.Ask if that is the boss who collected the wooden piles.

Qiao Mingjin glanced at Zhou Yanqing carefully, then nodded vaguely.When those people saw that there really was such a rich and powerful person working behind them, they became more confident, and they were not afraid that Qiao Mingjin would run out of money to pay them.

They all came forward to chat with Zhou Yanqing.

It is nothing more than to say how hard they dig, and ask him to look at this hard work, even if he doesn't pay a lot of money, he can't refuse it, or just collect it as firewood.

Seeing Qiao Mingjin's uncomfortable look, Zhou Yanqing smiled secretly, presumably he was making a fool of himself.

However, this also seems to be good.

Immediately my heart felt beautiful.

It seems that he is already a partner, and he greets the villagers very cordially.He also said that as long as it is good, it will be accepted, even if it is not qualified in the end, it will not treat everyone badly.

The villagers became more confident after hearing this.Without saying a word, they took their hoes and went to work again.Only some children walked around and followed behind.

Zhou Yanqing also made a rough guess that day, and answered in a sophisticated way, which gave Qiao Mingjin the illusion that she was doing this for him.The two seem to have reached a cooperation.
