Chapter 127

At the end of the month, the first batch of goods for the Imperial Palace was ready, with a total of 101 pieces. In order to prevent errors in the process of transportation or storage, Qiao Wei prepared 500 more pieces. If these 500 pieces can't be used at that time, they will be taken to Rongji for sale. It's just that Rongji urges Qiao Wei to add more goods every day, which makes Qiao Wei feel a little bit unhappy.

One month for manufacturing, one month for burying in the jar, and two months later, the goods will be delivered on time. Of course, this month is not idle. There is a second batch of goods. The first day of each month is the delivery date.

In ancient times, there was no saying about the day of the week, but office workers also had holidays. For example, the imperial court took five days off, one day off at a time. Of course, this is the treatment of civil servants, and ordinary people can't expect it.

Qiniang told Qiao Wei that when they were in the official family, their servants only took one day off on the first and the fifteenth day of the lunar new year. Some families took one day off every day, such as the first, the eleventh and the twenty-first day of the lunar new year.

Qiao Wei knows that master Zheng works all year round, unless there is no business.

"What if the first day of junior high school is over and there is no one in the house to wait on?" Qiao Wei asked.

Seven niangs explained: "some are the second day of junior high school and the 16th day of junior high school."

Like Rongji, it's also a rotation system. The workshop doesn't have to be so complicated for the time being. It's enough to fix the holidays.

"Won't you be tired with so little rest?" Qiao Wei asked again.

"Is that rare?" Seven niangs asked.

In Qi Niang's idea, it's normal to keep going. If you can take a day or two off, it's because people are too kind-hearted.

Qiao Wei's eyes are rolling. No wonder the old scholar's private school is open all year round. It's such an environment in Daliang Dynasty. People are used to it, but no one complains. After all, compared with starving at home or planting dozens of acres of land, working for others is a good way out.

"Do you think it's better for us to take a few days off?" Qiao Wei asked, pretending not to understand.

It's treacherous enough to throw this pot to Qi Niang. Qi Niang is a worker. She naturally hopes that the more the better. But if there are more, she is afraid that Qiao Wei will not be happy. She calms down and says, "three or two days will be enough."

It's two days in the official family. If she can have one more day, she will be satisfied.

Qiao Wei pressed down the corner of her lips, and said: "let's have a rest at the end of the month. It's four days in all."

Seven niangs happily smile: "so good."

Joe: I wanted to give you two days off a week

So the rest was settled.

Qiao Wei thinks that just the workshop rest is not enough, and the private school also needs rest. The old scholar is old, so hard work, in case of chronic labor, it's not good.

Qiao Wei went down the mountain to communicate with the old scholar about the holiday of the private school. On the other hand, bi'er, who had spent a night in the capital, went back to the mountain.

Bi'er's face was pale, and her expression was a little trance. Qi Niang called bi'er, but she didn't hear her. Qi Niang opened her mouth, went to her and patted her on the shoulder: "bi'er, what's the matter with you? Is your mother very ill

"No, my mother didn't..." Bi'er was stunned and recovered. She lowered her eyes and said to Qi Niang, "she's OK. The doctor prescribed some medicine and said that she'll be fine in a few days."

Qi Niang's face relaxed and said: "if the doctor says that, he will definitely recover. You don't have to worry too much. I see you look so ugly. Did you sleep well last night? You go to the house to catch up. It's enough to have three of us in the morning. "

Bi'er's eyes flashed: "Madam Is he not here? "

Seven niangs said with a smile: "Madam has gone to private school. It seems that she wants to discuss something with the old gentleman. Do you want to see madam?"

Bi'er waved her hand in a hurry: "no, I asked casually."

Qi Niang looked at her strangely. She always felt that when she went home, the child lost her soul. Was she worried about her mother's illness?

Bi'er felt guilty when she was seen by Qi Niang. She lowered her head and said, "I'll go to work first."

Qi Niang nodded: "OK, you go. Don't be too tired. If you can't make it, you can go back to the house to have a rest. Madam is kind-hearted and won't blame you."

Bi'er answers vaguely and enters the workshop.

Xiao Wei has moved a small bench to sit there, wearing gloves, one by one wrapped in mud clothes, and then one by one into the pot, he saw Bi Er, grinning: "Bi Er, you're back, your mother's health better?"

Bi'er's heart is warm. Everyone here is kind to her from the bottom of her heart, but she is about to do something sorry to them

"Bi'er, what's the matter with you?" Xiao Wei thinks that bi'er's state is not right. "Isn't your mother going to die?"

Bi'er shook her head: "I didn't sleep well. I'm sleepy."

Xiao Wei said: "go back to sleep, I'll help you with your work!"

Bi'er moved a small bench and sat down beside him: "no, I can't sleep in broad daylight."

"Is it?" Xiao Wei is confused. All the brothers in the stockade sleep in broad daylight!

Bi'er's spirit is not good. When she does things, everyone lets her go. Xiao Wei's dirty work is very tiring, and Qi Niang's meticulous work is too much. If it really falls into bi'er's hands, there is nothing left.A GUI alone in the operation room to deploy mud clothes, the workload is relatively huge, but Xiao Wei and bi'er are not qualified to enter the operation room, seven Niang and help bi'er work, a GUI Leng is a person until noon.

Bi'er felt guilty. She took off her gloves and said, "I'll cook."

Seven niangs pull her: "don't, you rest, I come!"

"But..."

Seven niangs interrupt her words: "nothing, but, I was wronged last time, isn't it the rice that you helped me cook?"

"That's different..." Bi'er doesn't dare to look into Qi Niang's eyes.

Seven niangs warm voice way: "have what dissimilarity?"

Bi'er's words are silent.

Seven niangs clap her hand and go.

Bi'er's heart is like a knife. Everyone thinks so much about her. She's a real wolf!

At noon, Qiao Wei and her two children had dinner at Luo's home, sent them to private school and then went to town.

"The lady hasn't come back yet." Bi'er washes the bowl and says to Qi Niang.

Qi Niang dried bi'er's dishes and chopsticks with cotton cloth: "maybe I went to town. Rong Ji is very busy these days."

Bi Er farfetched a smile way: "the madam is really capable."

Qi Niang and you Rong Yan said, "that's right. I've lived in my twenties. I haven't seen a more capable woman than my wife. Even men can't match her."

Bi'er handed the chopsticks to Qi Niang: "ah GUI heard this, but he was going to be angry."

"He's not so small-minded." Outside, seven niangs know to give a GUI face.

Bi'er looked at the door and said, "you and brother a GUI are tired all morning. Go to sleep. I'll watch the door at noon."

"How can that be done?" Qi Niang shook her head.

Bi'er tried to squeeze out a relaxed tone: "I didn't do anything in the morning. I'm in a good mood. You and brother GUI are in a good mood. Good afternoon for work."

Seven Niang don't want to trouble Bi Er, but Bi Er insist, seven Niang heart soft, agreed.

Bi'er takes advantage of the moment that seven niangs turn around, flicks one at her waist, and takes away the key with the red rope without any trace.

Seven Niang really tired, back to the room not long then lay on the bed fell asleep, a GUI see seven Niang sleep sweet, did not dare to disturb her, next to her squint for a while.

Xiao Wei came out of the latrine and saw bi'er sitting on the bench at the door of the workshop. He wondered, "why don't you go back to the house to have a rest? Didn't you sleep well last night? "

Bi'er said with a guilty smile: "Qi Niang and a GUI are tired. I'll guard for them for a while."

Xiao Wei saw that her face was still very pale, and sighed: "forget it, I'll guard it."

Bi'er waved her hand in a hurry: "no, you have worked hard in the morning. My mother is sick, and I can't sleep. Go to sleep."

"Not really?" Asked Xiao Wei.

Bi'er smiles with a smile: "really, brother Wei, go ahead. If I'm sleepy, you'll come and help me. Don't worry. I won't be polite with you."

Xiao Wei is a bandit. He can't be polite. Bi'er says he really doesn't need it. He believes it. He yawns: "I'll go."

"Well." Bi'er nodded with a smile.

Xiao Wei went back to his dormitory. Although he lived in Heifeng mountain, Qiao Wei kindly prepared a room for him to have a lunch break. Xiao Wei snored soon after he entered the room.

There was silence.

Bi'er sat on the small bench, her heart pounding.

Since she was a child, she had not done anything wrong, but it was childish fun and there was no real harm. This time, she wanted to steal her wife's recipe for the so-called gambling money.

She knew that her wife's eggs were to be sold to the palace. The delivery volume was 10000 yuan per month. It was a big business. If this business was taken away, she didn't know whether she would be sad.

There are also Xiao Jingyun and Xiao Wangshu. They are so lovely. They can only have a few days to enjoy themselves. Are they going to be poor again?

She didn't want to.

But if you don't do it, with the second lady's temperament, you will not let her parents go.

Creak -

the door was blown open by the strong wind.

Bi'er stood up and gently closed the door.

Soon, it was blown away by the wind.

Bi'er held it and looked in. From her point of view, she could see the door of the operation room. The copper lock on it was illuminated by the light. The keyhole was black, and the key was in her hand.

Bi'er tightens the key in her wide sleeve and leaves the workshop!

Take a deep breath and never move again.

She gritted her teeth and went to the gate of the operation room

Qi Niang wakes up in the middle of her sleep. She takes a close look. Ah GUI is sticking to her like a piece of brown candy. She laughingly moves her body to let ah GUI lie flat on the bed. Then she gets up, straightens her clothes, and is ready to see bi'er. But when she is wearing her belt, she has no key!

She hurried to look for the drawers, cabinets, floors, the bottom of the bed, wherever she could.

Ah GUI was awakened, rubbed his eyes and asked, "what are you looking for?"Seven niangs anxious way: "key! I lost the key to the operation room! "

The keys can be lost everywhere, but not in the operation room. The materials and formulas of preserved eggs are all in the head. If someone wants to steal them, the consequences will be unimaginable.

A GUI Hu body a shock, doze all did not have, a sit up, positive color way: "where did you lose?"

Qi Niang cried anxiously: "I don't know At noon, I didn't lock the door. I... "

A GUI put on his coat: "don't worry, you didn't go down the mountain. There are only a few places on the mountain, either inside or outside. You go to the kitchen and I go to the workshop."

"Good."

When they got out of the room, the kitchen was at the end of the dormitory, not far away, but the workshop was in front, so they had to walk a few more steps.

A GUI goes around to the workshop and sees the bare stool at the door. What's the matter with bi'er? Didn't you let her watch the door? Where did you go?

Is it -

a GUI's face changed, and without saying a word, he kicked the door in, walked to the operation room and picked up the lock.

"Brother GUI." Bi'er's voice rang at the gate.

Ah GUI turned his head in a cold sweat and saw bi'er coming towards him with a smile: "wake up so soon? I just went to the cottage

GUI ignored her, took out his key and opened the lock.

Bi'er asked casually, "isn't it just four minutes before the work starts? Why is brother GUI so early? "

"Get up early." A GUI answered casually. He opened the door and went into the operation room. First, he opened the dark box and looked at the account book of the recording materials. This is a real-time recipe. It's clear at a glance how many preserved eggs he made, how much salt, caustic soda and lime he used every day.

The book is still in its original place. There is no sign of moving it.

Later, a GUI checked several cans containing food materials, and there was no obvious abnormality.

GUI let go a little.

"Brother GUI, what are you looking for?" Bi er's head came in suddenly.

"Is this the place where you can come in?" said GUI

Bi'er quickly retracts her neck.

A GUI frowned impatiently and turned around the room. Finally, he found Qi Niang's key in the woodpile.

GUI locked the door and left the workshop.

Bi'er sits obediently on the small bench, holding her cheek in both hands, looking innocent and indifferent.

I'm still at a loss in the morning. It's like I've changed my mind after a lunch break. I don't worry about her sick mother so soon?

Something's wrong.

Bi'er looks at GUI with a smile: "brother GUI, what do you always watch me do? Is there anything on my face? Be careful that Qi Niang is jealous. "

GUI turned his face. Who wants to see you? It's not as good as seven niangs!
