Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 534 Punishment
Ding Wei tied up her apron, seeing that the ingredients were fresh and plentiful, she simply made more.

A table was set up in the shade on the roof, except for Dabao and Dawa, all the children, the nanny, Mrs. Dong, and even the old lady of the Wang family were invited together.

Bowls of baishengsheng were served cold and cold, poured with bright red jam, scooped up a spoonful and put it in the mouth, a kind of sweetness spread out instantly, making people unable to help but smile happily.

Just now, Mrs. Wang had just finished tidying up her new room. When she turned around, she found that her two grandchildren had disappeared. Just when she was in a hurry, she suddenly heard the madam's invitation, and thought that her grandson had caused trouble.It turned out that the grandson helped Xiaozhu build a sandcastle, and the wife rewarded him with an ice bowl.

Not only that, but she was also invited to sit down and shared a bowl.

At first, she was a little apprehensive, but after eating a few spoonfuls of ice cream, this strong and assertive old lady finally let go of her guard, and slowly talked about the new things in Kyoto these days, or some rumors in the market.

Although everyone left the capital for less than a year, but hearing these things, it feels like a strange feeling of a world away.

Holding the ice bowl again, overlooking the prosperous island, a kind of pride arises spontaneously.

The little grandson of the Wang family is only five or six years old, lively and cute, holding a small bowl in his hand, he is very reluctant to sip, and occasionally turns his head to ask grandma, "Grandma, it's good here, let's not go, okay?"

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but also smiled, "Okay, let's not go, let's wait for your father to come back."

The little grandson raised his chest when he thought of the majestic general father, "Then I will save the ice cream and give it to my father when he comes back."

After that, he sneaked a glance at the ice cream with only one bottom left in the bowl, and said, "Let's keep it for later, I've eaten it all."

Such childish and childish language made everyone laugh.

Ding Wei smiled and nodded his forehead, and coaxed, "Eat it if you want. When your father comes back, Brother An's father will come back too. I will make more at that time, and I will not miss your father." That bowl."

"Really? Madam Xie!"

Mrs. Wang and her two grandsons thanked each other, "If I had known the island was so good, our family would have rushed here."

"Men are fighting abroad, and we women should hold together and live a good life."

Everyone was talking and laughing when Bai Shu climbed up from below and said, "Madam, General Chu and Guanshi Liu are here to see you."

Ding Wei guessed that it was the robbery on board, so she nodded to everyone, "I'm going to deal with some trivial matters, you eat first. The children are only allowed to eat one bowl, no matter how easy it is to get a stomachache."

"Okay, ma'am."

Everyone responded one after another, and Ding Wei touched her son, who had lost his face in an instant, and went downstairs with a smile.

In the spacious living room on the first floor, not only the third General Chu and Steward Xiao Liu, but also the two master craftsmen of the glass workshop, and the stewards of several other workshops all came together spontaneously.

Chu Lao San wanted to investigate, so he had to go through the steward, so the news spread.

No one expected such a big event to happen, nor thought it would happen, but it just happened, so they all followed, wanting to see how Madam would deal with it.

Ding Wei nodded with everyone, but she didn't blame them for dropping their work and rushing to join in the fun.In order to prevent such things from happening again in the future, we must kill chickens and scare monkeys.With chickens, monkeys are naturally indispensable.

After Ding Wei sat on the main seat, all the stewards knelt down and kowtowed in salute.

Ding Wei didn't get up either, but raised her hand to signal everyone to get up, and then told Chu Laosan with a cold face.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Chu Lao San has been busy in Xincheng for most of the time recently, and he thinks that there are enough guards here in Shibao, so nothing will go wrong.Unexpectedly, the pirates he was worried about, or the riots caused by outsiders, did not happen, but instead, there were ghosts in the workshop.

This really annoyed him. Hearing Ding Wei's question now, he raised his foot and kicked down three young men. Two of them had met on the boat, they were boatmen in the fleet, and the other wore very little clothes. His complexion was flushed, and he looked like someone from the workshop.

"You three haven't recruited honestly, are you going to be punished?"

Hearing this, one of the boatmen immediately rushed to say, "Master, I was wronged. I helped carry the box on the boat earlier, and saw something hidden in Li Er's arms. I thought it was food, so I went to grab it. A glass bowl fell out, I'm going to report to the steward, but if he won't let me, we'll fight!"

"You lied!" The other boatman, that is, Li Er, got a little anxious, and hurriedly defended, "Master, Feng Shitou lied! Obviously he saw me hiding the glass bowl and threatened me to give him five taels of silver. I don't have any silver. He said he was going to tell the steward, and I got into an argument with him when I got anxious."

"No, obviously I was going to report it, and you were afraid of being punished by the supervisor, that's why you started the fight."

The two of them probably knew that today's matter might not be resolved, so they defended themselves like crazy, they both wanted to get rid of the crime, and what they were arguing about was blushing and thick necks.

Seeing that Ding Wei's complexion was not good, the youngest Chu raised his foot to give them a few kicks, and cursed, "Shut up, you all treat others as fools, there is no good thing."

After finishing speaking, he turned to the young craftsman with an angry face, "Tell me, who gave you the courage to secretly steal the glass bowl and resell it outside?"

The young craftsman's eyeballs rolled rapidly, and in the end he kowtowed and cried, "Master, please forgive me, villain... villain, woohoo, it's really a letter from the family saying that the old mother is seriously ill and has no money to buy medicine. I was impatient, so I thought about taking a glass bowl home with me, and sold it for money to treat my mother's illness. Woohoo, the owner is kind, and for the sake of the villain's filial piety, please forgive the villain this time."

What he said was very pitiful, and the faces of Bai Shu who were guarding the door already showed sympathy, but unfortunately, Ding Wei didn't believe a word.

Sure enough, the master of the glass workshop was the first to get annoyed, and scolded, "Li Gui, if you lie to deceive the master again, don't blame me for exposing your background! I recruited you into the glass kiln because of the love of my fellow countrymen. You also promised to work hard, and today I do such a shameful thing, I really...I really want to strangle you to death, how dare you lie!"

The master was going to beat Li Gui just as he was talking, obviously he was in a hurry.

The stewards nearby hurriedly stood up and stopped him, "My boss is still here, don't break the rules."

The master heard the sound and quickly looked at the master seat. Sure enough, Ding Wei's expression was very cold.

He hurriedly knelt down, and said frankly, "Master, this is a villain. I really can't get rid of it. This Li Gui's family lives in the village next to the villain. He is usually a bachelor. He is lazy and has no mother to be filial. Because it is Fellow countryman, when he came to the island earlier, he found a villain to enter the workshop, and the villain was soft-hearted for a moment, so he was recruited when he was recruiting workers. I didn't expect him to do such a scandal!"

Ding Wei frowned when she heard that, and looked up at Chu Laosan, with murderous intent in her eyes.

If it is said that among the workshops on the island, which one she values ​​most, it is undoubtedly the glass workshop.Not to mention the high price of glass beads and glass bowls, it was her arrangement afterwards that almost half of the financial resources depended on the glass workshop.

Unexpectedly, it happened to be the first one in the glass workshop to have something wrong now.Since this Li Gui was able to steal the glass bowl and sell it for silver, he could reveal the method of making glass.If it gets out that the glass is no longer the only one, then the loss on the island will be great...

"How is Li Gui's craftsmanship in burning glass?"

The master didn't seem to expect his host to ask this question, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded, "He is usually lazy and slippery, doing some small jobs, and he has never entered a kiln or learned a craft."

Ding Wei nodded, slightly relieved.

Then Li Gui didn't know that he had walked around the ghost gate, and he was still quibbling, "Boss, the villain was also obsessed with ghosts for a while, and that's why he made a big mistake. The villain will never dare again!"

After finishing speaking, he seemed to have some resentment for the master who had just exposed his old background, and casually said, "The master beats and scolds us apprentices frequently in the workshop, and also deducts our wages to make us honor the food and drinks. I came to the island with no money, and I was afraid that he would kick me out of the workshop, so I took the risk and stole the glass bowl, thinking that I would sell it for money, and my life would be easier. Woohoo, the boss wants to let the villain decide..."

The master was so angry that he almost spit out old blood. He still remembered the story about the farmer and the snake that the teacher told in the school. Now he is the kind farmer, and Li Guier is the poisonous snake!
"Master, master!"

"Okay, shut up!"

Ding Wei's face was livid, although she didn't believe Li Gui's words, but the master must have acted like a master in the workshop, she definitely didn't dare to cut back, but it's possible to accept some small respect.

Today's incident has exposed all the disadvantages of the island from manufacturing to transportation.

If he is not severely punished, I am afraid that such things will be repeated in the future.

"In today's matter, the master of the workshop did not know who he was, he recruited workers for personal gain, and the supervision was not good on weekdays. He deducted two months' wages and waited for two months. If similar incidents happen again within two months, he will be resigned from the position of steward and will never be promoted. .”

The master's face was pale, his mouth moved twice, he wanted to say something but he knelt down and kowtowed, "Yes, master, the villain takes orders."

Ding Wei ignored him, and continued, "Boatman Li Er knew that Li Gui had stolen the glass bowl from the workshop, but he still helped carry it onto the ship, and even returned to Quanzhou to sell the stolen goods. It was a serious crime, he was fined five taels of silver, and he was expelled from the fleet! Boatman Feng Shitou Knowing that Li Er committed a crime, he concealed it and did not report it, and threatened to share the spoils, a serious crime, fined two taels of silver, and kicked out of the fleet!"

"Boss, boss, woohoo, I don't dare anymore, please forgive me!"

Li Er and Feng Shitou didn't expect to be kicked out of the fleet, and their intestines were green with regret.The fleet of Taoyuan Island has the most lucrative wages, and there are new clothes throughout the year, and the silver rewards are calculated on the New Year's Day.Usually, when the family members talk about it, they are always stunned and proud.Especially Feng Shitou, the family is talking about marriage, and the girls from all over the world are counting their choices. If the news spreads, the marriage will be over.

It's a pity that Ding Wei is determined to rectify the workshop, how could she withdraw the order just because the two of them begged for mercy.
