Chapter 28: The initial scale

Zheng Qing found that Chen Wanrong was coming, and she came forward with lotus steps. The beautiful phoenix eyes contained endless smiles: "Brother Chen, you are here!"

The fragrance breeze blew, looking at Zheng Qing's pretty smile, Chen Wanrong seemed to be bathed in the spring breeze, and went up to him: "If you don't come again, you will finish your work. Thank you!" The two of them had a common language, so they were no longer together, and they were both together.

"Brother Chen, you are so serious. This is our family's business." Zheng Qing dared not stop Chen Wanrong's gratitude: "This is our old house. There has been no one inhabited for many years. If you don't clean up, how can you be embarrassed to hand it over to you?"

Chen Wanrong didn't know her intention. She was clearly helping to sort out herself, and she also spoke to her openly and took credit for her. She had to convince her: "According to what you said, I can't thank you."

"Who wants you to thank me?" Zheng Qingzhuo stood beside him: "Brother Chen, I don't know if it suits you. If it doesn't, just say it and you will definitely change it."

I came here yesterday. Although it was quite neat, it was not a long time since I lived there. It was needless to say that there was a lack of anger. Things like leaves and soil are inevitable. Now, when I look around, it is very neat. It is obvious that I have been cleaning up for a long time. If I don’t come again, I might just check in when I come, and even save on the whole thing.

"You're so neat, how dare I be dissatisfied with it." Chen Wanrong was very satisfied.

Without Chen Wanrong's instructions, Xiao Shangrong and the others knew what to do, so they put the things in and joined the ranks of sorting.

Chen Wanrong rolled up his sleeves and was about to help. Zheng Qing stopped him: "Brother Chen, the house has been tidied up. I don't know how many people you have, and I don't know if you have enough food and accommodation? Brother Chen, come and have a look."

Unable to stop her, Chen Wanrong had to follow her to check. Zheng Qing pushed open the door. Chen Wanrong looked at it and saw four beds in the room, with brand new mattresses on the bed and new quilts on the head of the bed. Although the material is not excellent, it is not bad: "This is..."

"Brother Chen, don't you have many people? There are many houses here, and you can live in four people, and the house is enough. If there are too many people in the future, you can squeeze in again." Zheng Qing stepped into the house and introduced.

Four people have a dormitory, which is a good treatment, even compared to modern enterprises. Chen Wanrong is very grateful: "Thank you really. How much does it cost? I will count it for you afterwards."

"Brother Chen, are you just seeing each other like that?" Zheng Qing was a little unhappy.

Chen Wanrong hurriedly defended: "Don't think so, I don't mean that. You pay for it and I'll live there, that's not right."

Zheng Qing was displeased when she heard Chen Wanrong’s sincere speech, and then she dissatisfied and said with a smile: “Brother Chen, I have a account of these things. You will have to return them to me as much as you want. This is lent to you.”

She didn't want Chen Wanrong to be uneasy, so she said this. Chen Wanrong didn't understand that she didn't want others to accept the favor after doing good deeds, and anyone who was in this relationship would be grateful.

Zheng Qing continued to say, "Dad said, I asked me to make up the old house and what to buy. Dad didn't say that, and I also understood what he meant. Although Dad was doing business and profit-seeking, he treated his friends very well and gave them more wages than other businesses. So the guys were all loyal and diligent and willing to work hard. Back then, our family was in a downturn, and Dad treated people sincerely. The guys helped each other regardless of the reward. Our Zheng family is today."

Suddenly, he woke up and told Chen Wanrong that it was not appropriate to tell her secret matters to Chen Wanrong, so he hurriedly stopped. Chen Wanrong thought about her thoughts and said, "The old man mentioned your family's affairs. He said it very well. Treating people with kindness will definitely be rewarded with kindness! The old man is warning me to be better to the guys and have been taught!"

Chen Wanrong is not a cruel person like "Zhou Papi". Even if Zheng Jianqiu doesn't remind him, he will not do things that ignore people's lives and death for money. This shows that Zheng Jianqiu cares about him and sincerely helps him. Chen Wanrong is still grateful for his kindness.

Zheng Qing admired Chen Wanrong's quick reaction to Zheng Jianqiu's intent and quick reaction. She smiled slightly at Chen Wanrong and took Chen Wanrong to another room. Like the one just now, it was still a four-person dormitory. There are seven such dormitories, and Chen Wanrong has only 21 people recruited, which is enough.

When he arrived at a smaller room, Zheng Qing pushed open the door and stepped in. Chen Wanrong followed him into the room. The house was arranged neatly, with two more tables than the four-person dormitory. One table was placed in the middle of the room, surrounded by several chairs next to it, two teapots and more than ten exquisite tea cups. One was placed by the window, with some thread-covered books on it.

There is a carved bed next to the wall, and the bedding is also brand new, but the material is much better than the four-person dormitory, and it is obviously for important people.

Chen Wanrong had no idea and heard Zheng Qing say, "Brother Chen, this room is prepared for you. Do you think there is anything you don't like?"

He even prepared his residence. He was very careful. Chen Wanrong was able to speak wise people, but he didn't know how to speak to express his gratitude when he was in this relationship. Zheng Qing smiled and said, "In his spare time, Brother Chen can read and enjoy his feelings. If Brother Chen doesn't like it, there are still some at home, and maybe he can catch the eyes of Brother Chen." He looked at Chen Wanrong, as if waiting for Chen Wanrong to make a promise.

Chen Wanrong can definitely read ancient books, but he is not as enthusiastic as he read modern novels, so he can only thank Bumin. Chen Wanrong is definitely not stupid enough to refuse, and smiled and said, "Okay, if I finish reading them, I will definitely borrow books from you. Please don't let me borrow secretly."

The beautiful eyebrows were slightly raised, and Yingying's smile suddenly appeared on her pretty face. Zheng Qing was very happy: "Brother Chen is very knowledgeable, I'm about to ask for advice. Please don't think I'm stupid and not give me advice."

Anyone who teaches you a genius mind is arrogant. Chen Wanrongqian said: "If you have a heavy word, you will be more serious."

After leaving the house, Chen Wanrong brought him to the door and under the guidance of Zheng Qing, he looked around. Zheng Qing prepared a large room for Chen Zairong, with tables and chairs, and specially prepared a weapon stand. It seems that she has worked hard for this family to understand so much.

Chen and his wife have a room, and there are several well-decorated rooms, which I think are prepared for some people with some status.

When they arrived at the kitchen, several servants from the Zheng family were repairing the stove, wrapped in mud on their hands, and were very busy. The sweat on their faces proved that they were not lazy. Several servants saluted Zheng Qing: "I have seen the lady!"

Zheng Qing waved her right hand and said, "You guys are busy with yours, don't be polite. I'm taking Brother Chen to see it. Brother Chen, this stove has not been used for many years and needs to be repaired."

Chen Wanrong saw a few new pots on the ground and a few unused dishes, quietly placed on the shock-proof straw mat. She didn't even let go of eating. It was really gratifying: "Care Ruos, what should I say?"

Zheng Qing smiled and cleared her care: "Brother Chen, you are so serious. You should take care of our old house. This is what we should do. Food is the most important thing for the people. People should not be without food for a day. When so many people arrive, they must first solve the problem of eating."

She was obviously caring, but she told her that she was fulfilling her obligations. If she continued to talk about it, it would be boring. Chen Wanrong had to smile.

The old house is very big, just like Zheng Qing arranged it, and it took less than half of the room to use it. In the future, it would be like to hire people and not worry about food and accommodation.

After leaving the kitchen, passing by a huge room, a fragrance wafted out of the room. Chen Wanrong asked, "What is inside this room?" Yesterday, Zheng Jianqiu took Chen Wanrong to see the house, but he had never mentioned this room. Chen Wanrong couldn't be curious.

"This is the ancestral tablet of our family." Zheng Qing replied.

Chen Wanrong stopped and said, "If you allow it, I will go in and sing a stick of incense."

Zheng Qing politely declined, "Brother Chen, how dare you bother?"

Chen Wanrong said seriously: "This is the house left by your ancestors. I have moved in. According to etiquette, I should go and sing a stick of incense. Besides, you treat me so well, can I not express my respect to your ancestors?"

This is etiquette, and anyone will decide like Chen Wanrong. Zheng Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen." He pushed open the door and Chen Wanrong entered the door. There were tablets of Zheng's ancestors inside. Several portraits were hung on the wall, which turned slightly yellow. It must be a while ago.

The incense is burning vigorously, and the incense is scattered. There is a lot of newly burned paper money in the paper money basin. It should be Zheng Jianqiu who came to worship. It is no wonder that he will definitely pay tribute to his ancestors for such a major event. If Chen Wanrong didn't come to burn incense, it would be too rude.

Pick up a stick of incense and lit it, inserted it into the incense burner, Chen Wanrong bowed. When Chen Wanrong finished burning incense, Zheng Qing stood in front of Chen Wanrong and bowed to Chen Wanrong Yingying: "Zheng Qing thanked Brother Chen!"

According to the etiquette, Chen Wanrong burned incense to his ancestors, and Zheng Qing should return the gift. Chen Wanrong burned incense out of sincerity, so he dared not accept her gift. He hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "Don't, don't!"

Zheng Qing stood up and gently struggled with her right hand. Chen Wanrong quickly let go and smiled shyly. Zheng Qing's face turned red and she was very shy, but there was a joy on her eyebrows and she ran out. Chen Wanrong went out, closed the door and followed her.

This kind of thing doesn't require much rich experience with the opposite sex to know what to do. If it is revealed, it will definitely embarrass Zheng Qing. It would be better to pretend that she is fine, but it will make her feel more relieved.

Although the women of the Tang Dynasty were open-minded and held hands with the opposite sex like this, they were still shy and unstoppable. Zheng Qing was so worried that she could not calm down until she walked a long way. She found Chen Wanrong following her and turned her head to see that Chen Wanrong was as calm as water, as if this had not happened, and she did not have the kind of complacent spirit to take advantage of the beautiful woman. This was not intentional, and she felt relieved: "Brother Chen, are you still satisfied?"

The arrangement was so thoughtful that Chen Wanrong could not be dissatisfied. He smiled and said, "You are so worried that you have not missed a single subtle point. I am so satisfied."

Zheng Qing nodded with confidence and said, "Brother Chen, I mean you must have a lot of things, so you can do your business. I will take care of it here. If you have any instructions, just make it."

It’s not about rushing Chen Wanrong away, but about putting himself in his shoes. Chen Wanrong has a lot of things to do now, and people come over immediately. Once food and accommodation are solved, they need to produce. To produce, tools, raw materials are needed. It is the right thing to take the time to prepare.

Chen Wanrong couldn't be grateful for her kindness. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Then I'll bother you here. I'll go out and buy some things back."

Chen Wanrong left Zheng Qing temporarily and took Chen Zairong, Ou Zhong, and Xiao Shangrong out of the old house. Zheng Qing was right. The first thing that so many people had to solve was the problem of eating. You can beat you up. You will definitely fall down without eating for three days. Chen Wanrong went to the rice shop to buy a thousand kilograms of rice. After paying, he asked the shopkeeper to deliver it to the old house.

One thousand kilograms of rice is a big deal, so the shopkeeper naturally agreed. Of course, he didn't forget to start a business and said something like my rice is of good quality, better service attitude, and satisfied with you. Chen Wanrong told him that this is the first batch and will get more in the future. If it is really good, he will naturally be out of trouble. He promised to exchange for a long list of flatteries from the shopkeeper.

When he came to the "Hu Family Oil Floor", Hu Sanhai smiled like a pistachio when he saw Chen Wanrong's face and greeted him happily: "This man, I've seen you again. Are you here to buy oil today? There are a lot of sesame oil, do you want it?"

Chen Wanrong bought several hundred kilograms of oil from him last time. Hu Sanhai was impressed. While letting Chen Wanrong in, he moved the chair and asked Chen Wanrong and others to sit down.

"Shopkeeper Hu, I'm here today to talk to you about a big deal." Chen Wanrong sat down and got straight to the topic. There are many things to do, and I don't have that time to try to sharpen my mouth. It's better to go straight to the simplest way.

When Hu Sanhai heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly watched tea for Chen Wanrong and the other two. He sat down and asked, "Dare you asking about this man's surname?" Since it was a big deal, it would be too rude if he didn't even know the surname Chen Wanrong.

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Don't let your surname be Chen, please call me Chen Wanrong."

"So it's Mr. Chen, Hu Sanhai has politeness here." Hu Sanhai bowed to Chen Wanrong with his fists.

Chen Wanrong held his fists and replied, saying that he didn't dare. After seeing the gift, Hu Sanhai asked: "Master Chen, how much oil do you want?"

"If you don't talk about how much, you can only say how much you have and how much I want." Chen Wanrong's reply was enough to shock Hu Sanhai.

This sentence is more surprising than how many pounds it costs. Hu Sanhai thought he had heard it wrong and was stunned. Chen Wanrong affirmed it once: "Yes, it's all!" In order to make him believe it, this sentence was firm and unquestionable.

Hu Sanhai then confirmed that his hearing was fine, but he still couldn't believe that Chen Wanrong's words were true. He reminded him: "Mr. Chen, the small shop does not have much oil in a month, but it is three or four thousand kilograms."

Chen Wanrong said without thinking: "No matter whether you have three thousand kilograms or four thousand kilograms, it is not enough. I have to buy it somewhere else."

Hu Sanhai was not very smart, at least he would not let the door-to-door business slip away. The smile on his face was layered layer after layer: "Mr. Chen, since you have spoken, don't talk about oil, even the stars in the sky will pick it for you. Don't worry about this oil, I will do as much as you want, and I will never miss you!" He patted his chest, ensuring that it would not miss the matter.

Chen Wanrong reminded him: "I have to agree that I have two conditions: one is that you are not allowed to add water to the oil."

Mixing water into oil is a common practice for black-hearted businessmen. Hu Sanhai shook his hands: "Oh, Mr. Chen, can you believe me, Hu Sanhai? My oil is definitely not mixed with water, no water!"

"We are gentlemen first, and then villains later. The ugly words are ahead. If I find that you are mixed with water, I will go somewhere else." Chen Wanrong continued to talk about the conditions: "Secondly, there should be less oily points, not too much."

To make more oily points is also a deception method for the oil merchant. Chen Wanrong said a few words to the cunning oil merchant, and Hu Sanhai knew that he had met an expert, so he agreed repeatedly.

Chen Wanrong finally said: "No matter what oil you are, sesame oil or almond oil, I will want it as long as it is oil, and you will send it to me."

Hu Sanhai loves to hear this. He originally wanted to ask Chen Wanrong what he wanted to do so much oil, so he saved: "Success! Mr. Chen, I, Hu Sanhai, will rely on you all in the future. I will not sell at this price anymore. I will give you 10% of the price. How about you?"

Compared with the income, the raw material money can only be a little money, and Chen Wanrong doesn't care much about it. Of course, it's best to save money. Hu Sanhai took the initiative to give it, so Chen Wanrong naturally agreed. He asked him about the oil storage in the store, and after paying, he asked Hu Sanhai to send it.

Hu Sanhai would not disagree with his long-term customer. Even if Chen Wanrong doesn’t say that, he would flatter Chen Wanrong and would give it to him.

After leaving the oil mill, I went to the lime farm and talked about long-term supply. After the lime was solved, I went to buy soda ash and almost wrapped the soda ash from Ning County. If it weren't for the shops begging to leave some for emergency needs, Chen Wanrong would have had an autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves without leaving any of them.

Soda ash is not as concentrated as lime and is scattered in many shops, so we can’t ask the store to deliver it. Chen Wanrong went to rent a car and asked Xiao Shangrong and Ouzhong to transport the soda ash back.

I took Chen Zairong to the porcelain yard and picked up more than twenty clay tanks. There were no wooden barrels, so I could only use clay tanks to load things. I needed large clay tanks. Each one was not low, so it was a big deal. The owner asked someone to deliver them to me.
