Chapter 33 Remediation
Dongguang Town is a medium-sized town with more than ten villages around it. There are seventy or eighty families living in the town. The whole town is arranged in a long shape. You can walk from the east to the west, and then browse the town.
Three days later, the bright sunshine shone on the town covered with green trees, making it look particularly quiet and elegant. Lu Chong and Lu Weixin led their horses into the stone road in the town. The sound of horse hooves sounded on the crisp stone slabs, making the people in the town feel extremely strange.
When I came to the family's wooden shop, I saw the familiar carvings and assembled objects. The store has a wide storefront and occupies the width of the two stores. The store has a front hall and a backyard. It seems that the Lu family has spent a lot of effort on each store.
Lu Chong handed the distribution document to a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper. The middle-aged man had a lean and capable temperament. He carefully checked the contents of the document and watched Lu Chong carefully for a while. Then he said in a slightly surprised and trembling voice: "It turns out that Teacher Lu Chong has arrived. My subordinates have been waiting for it for a long time. Since the former store master died of being attacked by a beast when he went to the Dark Valley Forest, his subordinates have been trying their best to maintain it. Today I finally hope for you."
The shop manager named Jiang Yunxiang immediately gathered everyone in the shop. There were six people in the shop, one housekeeper, one accountant, two traitors and two apprentices in their twenties. They were shocked when they saw Lu Tong's age, but they all knew that they were the manager who came to manage the shop and were also a wooden utensil, and everyone saluted Lu Tong with an extremely respectful attitude.
Lu Chong glanced at the six people, looked at the items sold in the store, and said: "The Lu family attaches great importance to the business conditions of each town. The wooden tools made by Lufang are also very famous. The task to give our store is not too great. So I think in addition to the items delivered here, our focus in the future is to make products based on the actual situation in the town, and we should be innovative and practical in terms of carving and assembly."
After pausing, Lu Chong looked at the people in confusion and said, "I specially invited an assistant to help us. This is Lu Weixin, the assembly master of Lufang West Courtyard in Songyang City. Everyone will cooperate with him in the future. My plan is to improve the production skills and quality of our objects. If it cannot be accepted by the people in the town in the short term, I will compensate for all the shortcomings of sales tasks. Do you understand?"
Everyone saluted Master Lu Weixin again. Although they had different ideas, since the responsible manager said this, they would not lose money to them, so everyone nodded in agreement.
Lu Chong waited for everyone to calm down and turned to Master Lu Weixin and said, "In the future, you have to take more responsibility for the production and assembly of the store. You should discuss with Butler Jiang more about the sales. I won't spend too much time in the store. I will give you more advice on any technical issues."
Lu Weixin had already heard of Lu Chong's assessment of woodworking masters, but he didn't feel that Lu Chong was arrogant. However, the six people in the store were a little confused. After all, Lu Chong was too young, or just a teenager, and everyone felt that the one who was really capable was Master Lu Weixin.
Next, Lu Chong just smiled, walked to the wooden utensils, picked up a knife from the table, took out a piece of wooden block, and took a few cuts. An exquisite puppet had been formed. Lu Chong quickly rotated the knife and wooden blocks to modify it a few times, then threw the puppet in his hand on the table, turned around and said to Jiang Yunxiang, "Take Master Lu Weixin and I to the backyard."
Only then did everyone see clearly that it was a puppet that was extremely exquisite that had never been seen before. It was a leaping figure and a smile on his face. He was like a real person who was about to speak, which shocked the six people to silence. After a while, he woke up and showed a reverent expression to Lu Chong who had turned and left.
Lu Chong and Lu Weixin lived in a separate room in the backyard of the shop. Through the efforts of everyone for a few days, the shop not only added many exquisitely carved puppets and various small animal carvings, but also filled with commonly used assembly tools for life and production, as well as many assembled items for Trojans and wooden cows. At this time, the shop was dazzling.
Everyone also began to admire Teacher Lu Tong and Master Lu Weixin, and respected them from the bottom of their hearts. People in the town were gradually attracted by various toys and supplies in the store, and the purchase volume gradually increased. The entire store was filled with unprecedented lively scenes.
Seeing that the store's business was on track, Lu Chong handed over the management rights of the store to Lu Weixin and Jiang Yunxiang. If it was not particularly important, the two of them would discuss and resolve it. He gradually made aside to do what he wanted to do.
After Lu Chong inspected the town for a while, he came to the intersection of Zhendong Road and walked forward along the intersection to the direction of the Dark Valley Forest. Lu Chong often saw people who transported wood materials, most of them were transported to Songyang City and other towns, and some were trading related to Lu Chong's shops.
Lu Chong rented a large yard next to the intersection of the east of the town, and sorted out several rooms in the yard, which were used as material rooms, production workshops, finished products departments, trading rooms and rest rooms, etc., and began to study wooden aircraft and make two-wing cones.
In the following days, Lu Chong made flying objects and two-wing cones during the day, while practicing Jade Finger Trick at night. Every exercise could feel the strength increase. When a finger was pointed out, you could even hear an invisible airflow breaking through the air vibrating.
Lu Chong took out the book of the house-sweeping leg technique. Although he has not practiced the double-leg vein-transmission technique now, Lu Chong is also exploring the exquisiteness of this house-sweeping leg technique and is also skillful when flipping legs, but he is still unable to achieve strength. However, through continuous practice, although he cannot exert the rapid teleportation of that kind of force, he can move his body away half a step in an instant. This is an amazing gain.
More than ten days later, the first group of troops sent by Zhong Baihua had arrived in Dongguang Town. The leader was a very strong man mixed with some cleverness. The man introduced that he was named Zhong Ao. This time he led a total of twenty people and prepared five loading carts.
Lu Chong arranged Zhong Ao and others in the yard of Zhendong and considered each other's martial arts. Overall, he still thought it was good, but the journey was long and it took about a month to go, so he was still worried.
So Lu Chong made a lot of small wooden balls for them to use as self-defense. Everyone felt that the flying needles in the small wooden balls were very powerful and could easily be injured when the opponent was unprepared, enhancing the attack power of themselves and others.
Lu Chong loaded two vehicles of flying objects with the made-up aircraft and one vehicle with the second-wing cone. He secretly told Zhong Ao that on the way back this time, he went directly to the branch of the Changxing Escort Bureau of Songyang City to unload the second-wing cone in Songyang City, so that the other escort bureaus would pick up goods in Songyang City from now on. In addition, he also sent elite troops from the escort bureau to escort two vehicles of goods back to Qinghe City. The two sides contacted each other to ensure the safety and stability of all sources of goods.
Zhong Ao admired Lu Tong's detailed arrangements in his heart. As expected, he is worthy of being the one the eldest lady values. Before leaving, Zhong Ao handed over a heavy bag of money to Lu Tong and quietly told Lu Tong that the eldest lady gave him time to learn more about the content and improve his ability to identify wood.
Lu Chong happily took the wallet, but secretly felt that Zhong Baihua's sign was confusing.
