Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 367

Ma Liu nodded and said he remembered, and asked stupidly: "Nv Xia, let me ask again, why do you hold peanuts in your hand, not melon seeds? Also, it's fine if you don't just nod to me." Is it? How troublesome to take something and throw it away."

Liu Ya originally wanted to say that she was afraid that Ma Liu would be too stupid, and she would just nod her head casually and he would take it as a signal, so she led people to rush to the stage, which would be a bad thing.But this can't be said now, Liu Ya said nonsense: "Peanuts are my lucky fruit, I feel that with a handful of peanuts in my hand, this matter will definitely be done."

"That's right, as long as I, Ma Liu, lead people to go out, you can wait, female Xia." After Ma Liu finished speaking, he nodded and bowed to Liu Ya and said, "Nv Xia, if it's okay, I'll go first, and I still have to go." Calling out brothers to join me. If there are more people, doesn’t it seem more powerful?”

"Yes, don't be afraid if there are more people. If you can gather a hundred or ten people, I'll give you a five-coin bonus per person." Liu Ya knew that it was impossible for a man like Ma Liu to have hundreds of people under his command. Number ten.If so many people were willing to follow him, he probably wasn't such a ruffian, so he would have to be a big bully.

Sure enough, after hearing Liu Ya's words, Ma Liu's face twitched, probably because he felt a little pained when he met such a good thing but couldn't make money.However, Ma Liu thought for a while and said cheekily: "Nv Xia, you see, most of my brothers are poor people. Since they are here to help me, and they are also to support Nv Xia and your cousin, this Can the favor fee be given less?"

Liu Ya looked at the three taels of silver that Ma Liu still held in her hand, and said, "I paid for the money for drinking flowers and wine as a treat, aren't you satisfied?"

Ma Liu hurriedly put away the money, as if he was afraid that Liu Ya would go back, and said with a mean smile: "It's not dissatisfaction, but to find a good job for the brothers."

"To make a good living is to find a reliable job, even if you are a coolie, you have to do it well. It is better than being married on the street. All the money you earn is thrown in the gambling house, and your life will be a hard life." After Liu Ya finished speaking, Seeing that Ma Liu was still nodding and bowing, he sneered and said, "Well, it's best if you can find more people. If you can open two tables of banquets, I will pay the same. In addition, I will give you two taels of silver. But this is not enough. It's already the limit, don't think about asking me to spend more money, and let you treat guests extravagantly to save face."

Ma Liu did the math, and there were ten people in one banquet table, and twenty people in two banquet tables.The money for the two tables of banquets was covered by Liuya, and she added an extra two taels of silver, which was not too little.Therefore, Ma Liu immediately said happily: "Yes, please, the heroine is righteous, and her subordinates are also generous. I will go to greet my brothers, and I will definitely be able to hold two tables of banquets."

Liu Ya also secretly calculated that if Ma Liu really recruited 40 people, he would get 20 yuan of red hands.Although the number is not too much, it is rare that [-] people come together to support the Red Sleeve Square, which is much bigger than some ordinary individual tourists.

Liu Ya was not rude, and took out another five taels of silver and said: "I gave you three taels earlier for one banquet. Here I will give you another five taels, of which three taels are for another banquet; the remaining two taels of silver I promised to add more to you. After the matter is settled, you can ask me to get another ten taels of silver."

Ma Liu was overjoyed again when he took the money.

Liu Ya coldly warned: "Remember, let your brothers put on good clothes, don't make them look like beggars or bastards, people think that the people I hired are unprofessional, but they slapped me in the face. "

"I know, I know, I asked my brothers to wear their New Year's clothes, so that I can show you the face of the heroine." Ma Liu nodded quickly, now that Liu Ya wants them to run naked, there is probably something to discuss .

After finishing Ma Liu, Liu Ya breathed a sigh of relief, success or failure, it's all in one fell swoop.Seeing that it was still early, Liu Ya was thinking about the blacksmith and bookseller that she had agreed with last time. Since she still had time, she first walked towards the blacksmith shop.

In the blacksmith's shop, there was still the sound of "clinking" irons, and standing at the door, one could feel the steaming fire inside.

Liu Ya shouted through the door: "Master blacksmith, I'm the one who ordered the soldering iron with you last time."

"Hey, here we come." It was still the same angry voice, but he didn't see the person immediately after hearing the promise.After a while, I saw the blacksmith man walking out with the support of a thin old man.

Seeing the respectful face of the blacksmith, carefully supporting the old man, Liu Ya guessed that this should be his master.

It stands to reason that the work of blacksmithing is a job of full strength, and they should all have the same burly and strong body as that man.But this old man is thin and small, his hands are as dry as chicken feet, but he doesn't look like a person who can contribute.

Liu Ya squinted her eyes, and realized that this old man was indeed not simple.Although blacksmithing is a labor-intensive job, a truly skilled craftsman does not necessarily rely on hard work to make a living.This old man looks so inconspicuous, but he is still a blacksmith, so he should be a person who pays great attention to craftsmanship.It can be seen that the blacksmith man said that his master can make fine objects, which is really true.

Therefore, Liu Ya was a little more respectful, and when the blacksmith came out with the help of his master, Liu Ya took two steps back to let the doorway pass, and politely said hello.

The old man saw that Liu Ya was a pretty and cute little girl, and she spoke politely, so he asked with a smile: "Little girl, my apprentice said, you are the one who wants to make that kind of extremely delicate soldering iron?"

"It's me." Liu Ya said: "Actually, it doesn't have to be used as a soldering iron. It's just that I can't tell what that thing is called, so I just call it a soldering iron. I just want to use it on the things sold at my house. Leave a special mark. The key is in the word 'special', I hope that my mark cannot be imitated by others. The more detailed the better."

"I understand, I understand." The old man nodded and said, "I have done this before, and it is similar to the function of a seal. To put it mildly, it is similar to the mold pressed on the jewelry. Every jewelry store has this thing."

"That's right, that's the effect." Liu Ya suddenly realized, yes, there is a mark on the jewelry, such as "9999", "Thousand Pure Gold", and "Wan Pure Gold", it should be that kind of thing used .

The old man smiled, pointed at the blacksmith and said, "He really can't do this job, because I have never taught him such fine craftsmanship. But let me tell you, little girl, you get what you pay for. I have two taels of silver, but I can’t make too fine things. If the price you give is right, I can make something unique in the world, do you believe it or not?”
