wind and rain scissors shop

Chapter 83-83.
Tian Erya knew that Wu Xiangrong was complaining, so she smiled: "Mr. Wu, we are doing the same job with the same goal, which is to complete the order of the Armed Forces Academy to purchase equipment. We share weal and woe. If I can't pay the job, you will save my face." It's not pretty either!"

Wu Xiangrong looked her up and down: "I found that you are really eloquent now. There are more things in your head, and your mouth has become more flexible. Has your appearance also changed? The dark circles under your eyes are so big that they almost fall to the ground. Wearing black coarse clothes, braided hair and a hat, at first glance, you look like a big man, did the Zheng family provide you with good clothes?"

"I have to forge iron and sharpen scissors with the blacksmiths every day. What kind of clothes should I wear? I don't need to dress up." Tian Erya disagreed.

Wu Xiangrong rubbed his chin: "I didn't understand before, Master Zhou asked you to lead a group of men to do rough work by a woman, what should you do if there are gossips? Now I know why Master Zhou is not worried. You are no different from those country men just like you .”

"We country women are no different from men when we work in the fields."

"You are a woman, do you want to go out and work in the fields?"

Tian Erya quacked: "Mr. Wu, the women of your rich family can be raised in deep houses and large courtyards. We country women don't have that kind of treatment. In order to fill our stomachs, we have to plow the land and carry water just like men. , Gathering firewood. However, we country girls also know that men and women are not intimate, so they will not easily contact other men. Mr. Wu, thank you this time, and I will trouble you in the future."

Zheng Yuansheng wanted to leave a long time ago, so he cupped his hands and bid farewell: "Mr. Wu, we still have to catch up with the construction period when we go back. Please bring those blacksmiths out as soon as possible so that we can complete the imperial mission as soon as possible."

Wu Xiangrong curled his lips: "Your requests are like urging you to die. That's enough, I know it in my heart, wait for the news!"

Tian Erya eagerly waited for news from Wu Xiangrong, and Wu Xiangrong did not disappoint her. The next day, he brought thirty blacksmiths to the iron mine, which surprised her.

The Zheng family was pleasantly surprised.

Zheng Yuanli's daughter-in-law praised Zheng Yuansheng: "Fourth brother, you are still smart and have a way. When the third child mentions the government, you can think of using prisoners who can blacksmith to work. Really smart."

Zheng Yuanli complimented: "If you say that the fourth child is a scholar, his brains are better than ours. These prison blacksmiths work here, and we don't have to pay wages, and we don't have to eat and serve them, which saves a lot of money."

Zheng Yuanxin also nodded: "Fourth brother, you did a good job this time."

Zheng Yuansheng said a few words modestly, but there was no joy in his heart.These days, the Zheng family's businessmen's attitude of following the trend and avoiding disadvantages is very clear in his eyes.Family members can only share wealth, not adversity.

Tian Erya admired: "Fourth young master, you still have the ability. An idea, to help these sword shops solve their big troubles, you are really as smart as Zhuge Liang, and full of tricks."

Zheng Yuansheng burst into laughter: "If you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them indiscriminately. Scheming is not a word for boasting. It is usually used to describe someone who has many bad ideas and uses deceitful schemes."

"Oh! I thought it was admiring people who can come up with so many unique ideas!" Tian Erya rubbed the back of her head, laughing.

When Wu Xiangrong escorted these blacksmiths over, what he saw was their laughter, and he lowered his face: "Are you two very happy? I worked all night yesterday, searching all the nearby prisons, only to find these thirty blacksmiths, but you Leisurely joking around here."

Zheng Yuansheng bowed: "We know that Mr. Wu has worked hard and made great achievements, so we deliberately waited here with our family. We have worked so hard for Mr. Wu. All this is thanks to Mr. Wu!"

Wu Xiangrong snorted, pointed at Tian Erya, and explained to the blacksmiths: "As long as you obey Commander Tian's orders and work with quality and quantity, the magistrate will write to the court to help you shorten your sentence. This is your meritorious deed. You can seize the best opportunity."

"Thank you, my lord." The voices of these blacksmiths were high.

"If you dare to make trouble and disobey the management, don't blame me for not being sympathetic and adding a third class." After Wu Xiangrong finished his instructions, he turned to Tian Erya, "Do you have any objections to my arrangement?"

Tian Erya's head shook like a rattle drum: "Mr. Wu is wise and powerful, and I dare not have any objections. I especially agree."

"Huh! Now I have learned to say compliments and flatter. This is not like you. You have a rustic face of a countryman, don't learn from the smooth-tongued bosses of those knife shops, and become an old fritter, which is annoying " After Wu Xiangrong finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.

Tian Erya didn't take it seriously, and immediately arranged for these blacksmiths to be in place.

Since then, there has been a unique scenery on the iron mine. Some blacksmiths wear chains on their feet, and the yamen guards stand behind them and watch them.

These blacksmiths from the prison can shorten their sentences when they sleep, and they are full of energy. Except for eating and sleeping, they are busy working day and night.Driven by them, the blacksmiths worked much faster than before.

Seeing this, Tian Erya was delighted, and the hammer hitting the scissors made rhythmic bangs.

When they were in full swing, Zhou Changkui and Wu Xiangrong came to inspect the iron mine.

When Zheng Zongde got the news, he hurriedly took his sons to meet him: "My lords, we took the time to come to our mine under the circumstances of daily affairs. We really feel that Sansheng is lucky and prosperous."

Zhou Changkui couldn't help nodding his head repeatedly when he saw the energetic appearance of these blacksmiths in the iron mine, and said to Zheng Zongde: "Tian Erya has two tricks, and their work speed is much faster than we imagined. Where is she?"

Zheng Zongde hurriedly sent people to look for it.

"There it is! The person carrying the iron plate is Tian Erya." Wu Xiangrong shouted with sharp eyes, "Commander Tian, ​​Mr. Zhou is here to see you."

Tian Erya hastily put down the iron plate and ran over: "Master Zhou, the daughter of the people did not know you were here, but she still hopes to forgive you."

When Zhou Changkui saw the big iron plate she put down, he couldn't help but be speechless: "You, a girl, can actually carry such a big iron plate?"

"I have been doing rough work since I was a child, and I have great strength. I can carry and move like a man."

Seeing her energetic appearance, Zheng Yuansheng couldn't help laughing, revealing a row of white teeth.

Tian Erya bared her teeth when she saw it.Is it whiter than teeth?Hey, my teeth are brighter and whiter than yours.

Seeing her like this, Zheng Yuansheng smiled even more heartily.

Seeing the interaction between the two, Wu Xiangrong snorted: "Tian Erya, look at your stupid sweaty face, how can you look like an officer at all?"

Tian Erya pouted, what the hell did he do?Mr. Wu can always say sarcasm, and the words that come out of his mouth are in stark contrast to his handsome face.

"Commander Tian takes the lead, that's good." Zhou Changkui felt that his words were a bit harsh, so he smoothed things over: "However, Commander Tian, ​​you are the chief here, so you don't need to work with these craftsmen."

Tian Erya chuckled: "I think I'll take the lead in doing it, and they must have different motivation. Most of these blacksmiths are older than me. Seeing that a girl like me is also doing these heavy jobs, I'm ashamed to be lazy."

Zheng Zongde said with emotion: "Commander Tian is the biggest leader in the iron mine, but she never takes herself as a personal figure. She moves bricks to fight iron, and does all the hard work by herself."

Zhou Changkui nodded: "It seems that we have chosen the right person! Now it's almost time for dinner, let's go and see how the workers' food here is."
