Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

  Chapter 530 530. Distressed teenager

   Manager Xu pointed to the sun, "You see the sun has risen so high, how could it be possible that you haven't gone out yet?"

  The boy wiped the drool off his face, took a step back silently, and stopped talking.

  Guard Xu walked back and forth at the entrance of the workshop, and the ground was trampled thin by him. Finally, in the anxious atmosphere, Chu Qingzhi's figure appeared.

  Guan Xu seemed to be looking at a long-lost relative, and greeted him cordially and enthusiastically, "Miss Qing Zhi, you are here. I thought you would not come."

  Chu Qingzhi showed a decent smile, "Guard Xu, let's go in and talk."

   Manager Xu hastily agreed, "Miss Qingzhi, please."

   Walking into the papermaking workshop, Chu Qingzhi took a general look. It was relatively large, relatively new, and desolate. It looked like it had been closed for a long time.

  Following Guanshi Xu, Chu Qingzhi came to the study.

   "Miss Chu, please sit down." Manager Xu greeted, then waved to the servant behind him, "Go and pour tea for Miss Qingzhi."

  Today he must sell the workshop.

   Seeing that other people's paper is selling well, my young master insisted on setting up a paper-making workshop, but in the end... it fell into his hands and he lost a lot of money.

   Madam gave him a death order, and he must sell today.

  Chu Qingzhi sat in the guest seat, and went straight to the point, "Guard Xu, I sincerely want to buy the workshop, so I won't beat around the bush. How much do you sell for all the things in this workshop?"

  The main purpose of her buying the papermaking workshop is for her own food packaging.

   Oiled paper is really expensive, and there is no printing. If you solve the packaging problem yourself, you can save a lot of cost.

  Furthermore, in addition to satisfying her own packaging, she can also do the tissue paper business. I believe that easy-to-use and cheap tissue paper will not be rejected by everyone.

Seeing that Chu Qingzhi really wanted to buy the workshop, Guanshi Xu smiled a little more, "The girl sincerely wants to buy it, and I also sincerely want to sell it. We just reached an agreement, and we don't want a high price. Buy it now, 10,000 taels, girl, look How about it?"

  Chu Qingzhi smiled, "Ten thousand taels is a bit expensive, nine thousand taels."

  Nine thousand taels, which happened to be the lowest price he expected. This girl can't read minds, right?

   Xu Guanshi's heart trembled, "Miss, nine thousand taels, you cut off one thousand taels at once, one thousand taels is not a small amount, girl, can you add a little more?"

  Chu Qingzhi thought for a while, "Nine thousand one hundred and one taels, leave me the customer's information and the purchase channel information of the raw materials."

   Manager Xu thought to himself, this is the one who really knows how to do business and how to fluff wool, "Forget it, it's about making friends."

  The two signed the contract, Chu Qingzhi gave the bank note, and Manager Xu left in a hurry with the servant.

  Chu Qingzhi walked out of the study and walked to the left, intending to turn around the workshop.

  The environment of this workshop is not bad. There are several towering trees, rows of fruit trees, flowers and plants, and some chrysanthemums are blooming brightly.

  Chu Qingzhi suddenly stopped and shouted, "Who? Come out!"

  There was a sound from the corner of the house and the fence, where a thick bush grew, blocking the people behind.

  The other party was very timid, trembling for a long time before moving out from behind the bushes.

  The boy was dressed in gray, with his head down, trembling all over his body, as if he had done something bad and was caught.

  Chu Qingzhi sized up the boy, her voice was a little harsh, "Who are you? Why are you hiding here?"

   Who would have thought that the young man was so scared that he knelt down to Chu Qingzhi, his teeth clenched, "I'm sorry, I didn't hide here on purpose, I hid here because I had nowhere to go."

"Who are you?"

  The young man raised his head and glanced at Chu Qingzhi quickly, then quickly lowered his head, "My name is Xiao Zongchao. I used to work in this workshop, but now that the workshop is gone, I can't go home..."

  Chu Qingzhi asked, "Why can't we go home?"

  Xiao Zongchao whispered with low self-esteem, "The house is not very spacious. Now that my eldest brother is married to a wife, my parents told me not to go back, but to find a place to live outside."

  These parents are typically eccentric, Chu Qingzhi said, "Then do you have a place to live?"

  Xiao Zongchao turned his head and pointed to the corner, "I've always lived in that corner."

  Chu Qingzhi, "..."

   That's all, just a poor man.

   "What will you do?" Chu Qingzhi planned to let Xiao Zongchao continue to work in the workshop, so that if he had money, he would not have to live in such embarrassment.

   "I can make paper." Xiao Zongchao's gloomy eyes burst out with confidence, "It's just that those old masters are not as good as the paper I make."

   Isn't this a piece of grass, but a treasure?

  Chu Qingzhi re-examined the young man in front of him, "What were you doing in the workshop before?"

   "Handling." Xiao Zongchao's eyes became inferior again, "They think I'm young and don't know how to make paper, so they don't let me enter the workshop."

  Chu Qingzhi said, "I'll give you a chance, if you can turn wood into white paper, I'll hire you as a master, how about it?"

  Xiao Zongchao's eyes were shining brightly, "Really?"

"Do not lie to you."

   "Then I'll go make paper right away." Xiao Zongchao's whole body was dull just now, but now it seemed to be injected with vitality, and it became alive again.

  The two came to the workshop, Xiao Zongchao was very focused on making papermaking preparations, Chu Qingzhi leaned against the door with folded arms, watching him do things.

  Chu Qingzhi only knows the process of making paper, and has never made paper by herself, so she is somewhat interested.

  Looking at it, Chu Qingzhi felt that something was wrong. Xiao Zongchao's technique didn't feel unfamiliar, and it looked like a familiar hand. This was inconsistent with what he said that he had never been in a workshop. "How many times have you made paper?"

  Xiao Zongchao shook his head, "I can't remember how many times. Ever since I was sensible, I have watched my grandfather make paper. I learned all this from him."

  Chu Qingzhi said, "Is your grandfather a master of papermaking?"

  Xiao Zongchao's eyes lit up, and he said with some memory, "Yes, but my grandfather has passed away, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a difficult situation."

   This young man is indeed living in a very difficult situation. There is not even a place to shelter from the wind and rain. "Aren't you working in this workshop? What about your wages?"

   Xiao Zong said, "Give it to my parents."

  Chu Qingzhi, "..."

  Chu Qingzhi's head was on fire, "You gave your parents money, but they still won't let you go home?"

  Xiao Zongchao was silent for a while, "There's nothing they can do, the family is too cramped, and my elder brother finally got married, so I can't tear his family apart."

  If it were her, it would be difficult for her, and she would not make it easy for others. She couldn't understand how Xiao Zongchao insisted on compromise, "Will the money you earn be given to your parents in the future?"

  Xiao Zongchao tightened his grip on the axe, "I have to give it. My elder brother doesn't have much money for farming. If you don't give it, they will starve."

   Is this a masochistic personality?

  Chu Qingzhi took a deep breath, "You should think more about yourself."
