Chapter 30 Blow something

Gentle glaring, he said in disbelief: "Why are you still participating if you don't want to? Have a consolation prize?"

"It's a good thing to be able to participate." When Pei Fangwu unfolded the folding fan, he smiled gracefully: "It's a blessing to get it, but it's not a life."

So free and easy, what business should you do? Isn’t it good to go sailing through great rivers and mountains? I gently whispered and didn’t appreciate him at all. People are in this competition field, saying that they don’t want to compete, either because they are not capable enough or they are not suitable for this environment, and neither will have any good endings. Now that he has become her partner, even if he wants to make a soy sauce, she will have to pull him to win a big prize.

"Just let me do this." She said: "Young Master is responsible for buying materials. It may fail many times, so there are a lot of things needed and a long time. I will come here every day for the next period of time."

Listen to the rest casually. When Pei Fangwu heard the last sentence, he moved his eyebrows slightly, reached out and touched the tip of his nose, lowered his eyes and smiled: "Okay."

Without paying attention to his expression, Wenrou wanted to say something, but the people outside came to knock on the door: "Young Master, Butcher Zhang has arrived."

"Please come in."

The door creaked, stretched its neck gently, and saw Zhang Laowu still wearing a coarse cloth and wrapped in an apron. He came in in panic and asked, "What's the matter with the noble man?"

"Don't be so reserved." Pei Fangwu smiled and said, "This lady has a wealthy business to do with you."

Zhang Laowu was stunned and glanced at Wenru quickly, frowned slightly: "I have been slaughtering pigs for so many years. Although I have been doing small business, I am still responsible. I don't care about any business that makes money, and I can live a stable life."

"That's wrong." Gentle smiled: "Who thinks that money is too much? With more money, life will be better. Besides, what I want to do with you is not a business of killing and robbing people. They all rely on their skills to make a living, it depends on whether you can make a profit."

Butcher Zhang laughed dryly, with a little hesitation in his eyes: "Madam, can you tell me?"

"Simple." Nodded gently: "It's a blowing job, but this time it's not blowing under the pig's skin, but a special material. The material is a bit strong and needs to be blown out with skill. You have to cooperate with your hands and pinch it into a shape."

It sounded a bit complicated, and Zhang Laowu frowned: "I'm just a rough person... Can it work?"

"We can practice for two days." said gentlely: "If you can, I will give you a tael of silver in the future. After the workmanship is even more convenient, the price can be increased."

A liang of silver blew something! Butcher Zhang was stunned and his face turned red with shock: "How could it be so expensive? A liang of silver... just a liang of silver blew something?"

"I will never lie to you. If I cheat, the Pei family's sign is still here, so you can smash it." He pointed to the plaque hanging on the partition and said gently: "This is always impossible to escape."

The Pei family's signature steward looked at her innocently without saying a word.

Zhang Laowu was hesitating, gently holding his waist and stood up, looking at him and said, "But this money is not that easy to make. If you give more, you should pay more. I have no other requirements. In addition to making good things, you have to promise not to mention that thing to outsiders. Otherwise, you have to return all your wages and compensate me with another thousand taels."

One thousand taels! Zhang Laowu was shocked and thought that he would never make so much money in his life. However, the premise of this lady was that he reported to someone. If he did not report the news, then the thousand taels would naturally not have to be compensated.

The room was quiet for a while, and Gentle didn't urge him, and looked at him quietly. Pei Fangwu shook the fan and his eyes fell lightly on the woman opposite. Looking at her smart appearance like a businessman, she inexplicably found it interesting.

"Can I give it a try first?" After a while, Zhang Laowu spoke: "If I can do it well, I will do this job to supplement the household income. If I can't... then I won't ruin my wife's business."

"It's easy to say." Nodded gently: "We can try it now."

Now? Pei Fangwu glanced at her and frowned slightly: "Your injury?"

"It's okay, I can move." He called Butcher Zhang twice, and Wenrou was like she was at her own home, and she raised her foot openly.

Pei Fangwu paused and followed him out. When he walked to the door, he saw her greeting Qiangsui and the coachman familiarly, and then turned to him and said, "Young Master, you don't have to go. I will go back when I go with Butcher Zhang. You can search for materials first. The materials marked with cinnabar on this list are a bit difficult to find. Just try to find them, and it's fine if you don't."

After taking the order, he opened it and looked at the delicate font. Although there were many typos with few strokes, he could roughly understand it.

"I understand." With a gentle smile, Pei Fangwu put away the list and whispered: "Be careful, go and go early."

"Okay." Grinned gently, covered her waist and held the hand holding the ears and got on the carriage.

Butcher Zhang was embarrassed for a while and followed him up, sitting properly. When the curtain fell, he said, "When a noble man like the Pei Dong family is married, why does the wife still need to do business?"

Ha? Gentlely raised his eyebrows: "Have you misunderstood something? He..."

"Madam." The erection broke her and gently pinched her hand: "You want to make money yourself, our young master understands it, and outsiders misunderstand it, and the young master doesn't care."

What does this mean? I turned my head in confusion and looked at her, and thought to myself that she is not Pei Fangwu's wife. Last time I threw the jar, there was a hole in my waist. I came here again this time, would she be cut in half?

"Madam." The voice was as light as a mosquito, and he leaned into her ear and whispered: "There is no need to explain so much to him. If you say too much, it will cause criticism. It is better to make the mistake just because it is convenient."

"Are you sure you won't be discovered by the Xiao family again, and then Xiao Jingtang came to chop me up?" Her lips didn't move, and a gentle voice squeezed out from the cracks of her teeth: "The peace treaty I just signed cannot be ruined by such trivial matters."

"Don't worry." Qianhui said: "We know this. If I don't tell you, but Butcher Zhang has no chance to say it. If the young master knew it, he would never blame him, so he would be foolproof."

Pei Fangwu not only won’t blame him, but may also help cover him. Qianghui is a clever girl. She had seen it early in the morning that her master was not simple for the second young master of the Xiao family.

It's a pity that the two are destined to be together.

It’s not that she has some selfish intentions. The people in Xingcheng are very old-fashioned. They don’t have a wife to do their second husbands. If they remarry, they will be broken by the backbone, not to mention that the woman with a husband comes out to do business with other men. This is really just for the sake of the second young lady of the Xiao family.

"Okay." Wenrou was not much confused. She was more concerned about the production of glass bottles now.

Because she wanted to make things, Pei Fangwu gave her the entire small porcelain kiln, and all the materials were available. As soon as she arrived, Wenrou didn't have time to take a breath, so she took Butcher Zhang to the room next to the porcelain kiln where she usually made glass beads.

Adjust the raw materials, put them in the kiln and increase the temperature, gently use the steel clip to clamp the softened glass frit, insert the iron pipe, put the bamboo pipe on, and then wrap it in a soft cloth. He frowned and said, "The tool is not fully prepared. You can blow it first. Can you blow it out a small bubble?"

The room was very hot. Butcher Zhang looked at the fiery red crystal in surprise while wiping sweat and looking at the hot and red crystals. He carefully took the tube and tried to blow it hard.

The glass was bubbled and broke.

He took it back to the kiln and reheated it. Gentle and soft, and said with encouragement: "It's great, but use the force to be smaller and blow it slowly, so don't let this bubble burst."

Nodding nervously, Butcher Zhang took the tube again and began to blow carefully.

Wenrou looked at the scissors next to her. Seeing that the bubbles came out, she cut off the excess glass frit: "Very good, you have succeeded in the first step."

"What is this?" Butcher Zhang asked curiously: "I have never seen it before."

"You can't ask." Gentle smiled: "It's a good thing anyway, come on, try turning it around, pinch the tongs, slowly blow the bubble to the size of a bowl, and try to make the shape of a vase."

It is easy to say, but it is difficult for Butcher Zhang to practice it. After all, he has never done it before. After blowing it several times, the iron pipe is hot and cooled down, and finally he made something that can be seen barely.

"One, two, three..." Wenrou calculated the number of times Zhang's butcher successfully blew, and said with a smile: "You have succeeded five times today. If you have one that can be seen, I will give you five taels of silver."

"No need!" After waved his hands repeatedly, Zhang Laowu said with a red face: "It's just one of them succeeds. It's quite fun, you don't have to charge money."

"If you work hard, you have to get your wages." He took five taels of silver and put it at his hand, and said gently and seriously: "I am sincere in working with you for a long time, so you don't have to be polite to me, you have to get what you deserve. The environment is harsh and hot, so you have to be more patient and come again tomorrow."

Rubbing his hands, Zhang Laowu looked at the five taels of silver, thought for a while, and finally put it in his arms, then looked at him gently and said, "There is no other benefit in doing business with me, just be at ease. Since you are so generous, I Laowu will meet your requirements with all my strength, and I will never reveal a word."

"Okay." Gentle nodded and said with a reassurance: "I believe in you."

Zhang Laowu nodded, and when he saw it was getting late, he happily went home after taking the silver. Wenrou stood at the entrance of the porcelain kiln and looked at his back. He turned around and said to Qianqiu next to him: "Let me think of a way to make confusing words from his mouth to see if he is firm or not."

"Madam is thoughtful." Qianhui nodded: "I'll go find someone to do it now. You can go back to your house first."

"Um."

She said she believed it, but she was a stranger. She was not a fool who was heartbroken to others as soon as she came up, so she had to be more cautious.

"Second Young Master."
