They are too bullying

They are too bullying

Regarding the matter of buying people, Zhang Xianyu has mentioned it several times. Her own yard is taken care of by people, but other people still don't adapt to it. It's not like they haven't bought people in the past few years. They all put them in workshops or arrange for farming.

Already.

Bai Fu'er sighed silently. If he had known better, he would have followed the trend and raised a few more people, so that there wouldn't be no one available now.

Everyone discussed for a long time whether to send several boys in the family to study in Fucheng, and finally decided unanimously!

As for the house Bai Changqing mentioned, everyone felt that it was inappropriate. There was a shop in front of it, and they might entertain merchants inside, so it would be too noisy.

"Just buy a bigger house."

Money is such a willful thing.

The matter was settled like this, but there was no rush. No matter what, we had to wait until the beginning of the new year to go. During this period, Bai Changqing, the third grandfather, was responsible for finding a good academy for his nephews and arranging the people who would serve them.

After everyone talked about a few more things, it was Momofuku's turn. What Momoko said was very simple, "After a trip to Kyoto, I figured out two ways to make sweets. I will teach my dad when I get back."

Zhang Xianyu also said, "The reason why we were able to win the five hundred thousand yuan business from the imperial court this time is because Fu'er made new rock sugar, which is whiter and purer than the rock sugar we make now."

Everyone was overjoyed and expressed their admiration for Bai Fu'er.

By the time everyone had finished speaking, the sky had completely darkened, and everyone returned to their own courtyards to rest.

Bai Fu'er yawned and couldn't hold it in any longer. When she returned to the yard, the diligent Caiyun had already prepared everything. The bedroom had been cleaned, the bed had been remade, and hot water had been installed.

Get ready.

Seeing that Caiyun was still wearing the clothes of the day, Baifuer asked her to wash up, "I will go after the girl has washed up. Girl, I will live next to your house from tonight on. If you need anything, just call me."

.”

"knew."

After washing, Baifuer climbed into bed. She didn't know if it was because she went home, but she quickly fell asleep. Caiyun carefully blew out the oil lamp and closed the door before going to her room.

After washing up, she lay down on the bed. This was the first time she had her own room. She was very happy, and the quilt she covered was new. It was given to her by her wife. She also gave her a few pieces of cloth.

She made her own clothes, raised the corners of her mouth, and fell asleep with joy.

Early the next morning, Bai Fu'er and Zhang Xianyu went to the sugar factory. As soon as they walked in, they saw mountains of winter melons piled up in the yard. The person who was supposed to be sitting here peeling the winter melons was nowhere to be seen. Wang Quan's wife saw that

The arrivals just came up to say hello.

"Is this a shutdown?"

Wang Quan's wife nodded, "We have been stopped for two days and there is no more sugar."

Bai Fu'er was a little surprised, "We have enough candy, why is it gone?"

Wang Quan's wife pointed to the large pile of winter melons, "This year's winter melon harvest is great, and some merchants were in urgent need of it before, so we made more without planning. Now all the winter melon candies have been sold, and the remaining candies are

These winter melons can only be left like this."

"Fortunately, the weather has cooled down, and the winter melons can be stored until the new batch of candies comes out."

Just at this time, someone sent winter melons again. When he saw Bai Fu'er, he smiled and said, "Fu'er is back. The rain is good this year, and the winter melons are growing well. The harvest is much more than last year."

As he said this, he called to Wang Quan's wife, "Wang Quan's wife, please find someone to come and weigh her. There are still some on the mountain. At least one or two thousand catties. I will send them all here today."

Zhang Xianyu turned around and said, "Sister-in-law Zhang, are the winter melons on the mountain still on the vines?"

"Yes, it's very fresh."

Zhang Xianyu added: "We will accept this cart sent by Sister-in-law Zhang. Please tell everyone that the sugar factory is encountering some difficulties. We will no longer collect winter melons until the end of December. Please take good care of your own."

The winter melons will be harvested by the sugar factory when the time comes."

The second sister-in-law Zhang was so frightened when she said these words, "What happened to the sugar factory?"

Isn't it about to collapse?

Zhang Xianyu said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, we just have no sugar. We won't be able to use the winter melons we collected. We don't know how to stack them yet. We can only wait for the next crop of sugar to come out before processing them."

Second sister-in-law Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, she was really scared to death.

Calculating, it’s not too long until December. “I’m going to tell you all right now. I’ll keep these winter melons on the vine. If I can’t keep them anymore, I’ll move them back. I’ll bring them to you when you ask for them.”

This car will also be pushed back, so don't take it away, so that you don't have to store it."

Seeing that she was so reasonable, Baifu'er asked Caiyun to take out a handkerchief and give it to Sister-in-law Zhang, "This is a gadget I brought back from the capital for Sister Guixiang to play with."

Second sister-in-law Zhang was so happy that she went to pick it up. She was about to catch it and quickly retracted her hand. She wiped it back and forth on her clothes a few times before taking the handkerchief. The tender green handkerchief was embroidered with several orchids.

"Oh, this is brocade. It's really beautiful. This veil is quite expensive. It's too expensive."

Baifu'er smiled and said: "It's not expensive. I just saw that the flowers are well embroidered. The girl's family should like them."

Second sister-in-law Zhang thanked her repeatedly, "Guixiang didn't know how to be happy when she saw it."

Zhang Xianyu gave Wang Quan's wife a few words and asked her to help Zhang's second sister-in-law move down the winter melons and weigh them, "I've already sent them all, so there's no reason why I should ask my second sister-in-law to take them back."

Then someone went to close the door of the sugar factory and informed everyone that they would no longer collect winter melons from now on.

Second sister-in-law Zhang felt grateful again, and finally returned with an empty cart, and enthusiastically went around to help promote it.

However, not everyone is as reasonable as Mrs. Zhang Er’s sister-in-law. Some people give up and say, “It’s because they said they wanted to harvest winter melons that we planted so many. Now they say they won’t harvest them. There are so many winter melons.”

Aren’t you going to rot in the ground?”

"They are so bullying. They are all from the same village. They are rich and imitate those cunning big landowners. How can they talk about benevolence and justice?"

Second sister-in-law Zhang is unhappy. She is well-known in the village as a fast-talking person. It’s not that she goes around gossiping, but she is sharp-tongued and speaks very fast. Just listen to her crackling words at this moment:

"They said they are just not harvesting it for the time being. They will still harvest it when the new candies come out. What's going on? Your winter melons won't be kept until the end of the year, and they will all rot in the ground?"

"Last year, people said that there was no need for so many winter melons. You are not greedy enough. You have to put a seed in every crack in the mud. They should harvest them all for you. Are they begging you to plant them?"

"Don't allow others to have difficulties? When you encounter difficulties, people force you? By the way, you borrowed money from others last year, have you paid it back?"

"You are still thinking of selling winter melons to others, why didn't you say you would use your winter melons to pay off the debt? You have planted so much sugar cane this year, you should be able to pay off the debt, right?"
