First Empress Merchant

Chapter 63 The Character of a Merchant
Lu Lishi poked Xin'er's forehead with a smile, and was about to say something more, when she saw Situ's mouth slightly raised from the corner of her eye, she rubbed her eyes subconsciously.

No, right? This facial paralysis can actually laugh?Is she dazzled!

Noticing Lu Lishi's exaggerated movements, Situ was stunned, and realized that the problem was with him, so he immediately regained his dead face.

Seeing this, Lu Lishi smiled again, and didn't expose him, and then happily called everyone to go back to the mountain to see the progress.

When she arrived at Beishan, Lu Lishi had to secretly praise Situ for her good vision. The masters she selected were all honest and responsible technicians, and the helpers they recruited were also very diligent, because she saw that they were going to build a foundation After it has been laid, other people saw wood, saw wood, chisel rocks, and dig mountain roads. In short, no one is idle, which is great!
In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and according to modern time, it would be meal time. After thinking about it, Lu Lishi asked Shi Liang to discuss what to cook for these workers. No energy to sell, right?

And Shi Liang was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect her to be so careful, but it's good no matter what. It was said that a group of people came down from the mountain and said they wanted to see the lady of the host family, so he turned back and waited quietly for her next instructions.

Lu Lishi was stunned when she heard the words, and took Situ and Shi Liang down without thinking too much, leaving Wu Changqing and Xin'er here to take care of Lu Yizhuo.

Unexpectedly, after going down, it was none other than Chen's aunt and the others, and they also saw several carts of large wooden barrels brought by them with bullock carts.

Lu Lishi guessed a little bit in her heart, and immediately greeted her, "Aunt Chen, why are you here..."

The aunt of the Chen family smiled shyly after seeing Lu Lishi, "Miss, you are here! Well, we saw you went to the market to buy a lot of big guys yesterday, and I heard that you hired a lot of part-time workers. It may be that the home needs to be renovated or something. I planned to help out, but when I went to your house, I found that the door was locked. After thinking about it, I must have gone up the mountain. Also because you invited a lot of people, I am afraid that you are too busy , I can’t take care of those day laborers. Anyway, we are idle, so we discussed and made some hot porridge and steamed buns together, and a few jars of pickles. Don’t refuse them, they are not expensive things. "

Hearing this, it was a lie that Lu Lishi was not moved, "Oh, I was still worrying about what to get for others to eat, but you guys are so lucky, you just came here in such a timely manner, I really don't know what to say !"

In fact, she knew that these mothers worked so hard for their daughters to do what she was supposed to do. Although she had never experienced the glory and love from her mother in her previous life, she also A woman will also become a mother in the future, that is, she is more eager to give more love to her future children because she does not have it, and this is a mother!

Literati praise how selfless and great maternal love is. In fact, she thinks that maternal love is an emotion that cannot be explained in any words. It is so simple and contradictory. It can be seen everywhere in life but cannot be separated from it!So even with the sweat on the forehead and rough fingers of these ordinary mothers, she will never let their hard work go to waste!

Hearing Lu Lishi's words, Gui's aunt also smiled and said: "You are welcome, we are all women and Taoists, and we can't help much, so we can only do these things."

Lu Lishi smiled sincerely, and after thinking about it, she said, "By the way, how did you get here? Was it a hard journey?"

Aunt Luo waved her hands repeatedly, "It's not hard, it's not hard! After you saw the ox cart, you picked up a few carts. We came here on a cart. It's not hard at all!"

Hearing this, Lu Lishi immediately ran to look behind, and sure enough, she saw a simple four-wheeled scooter, and then walked back and said: "Well, I will entrust you to take care of the food for the laborers on the mountain in the future. In the end, people can come. If there is a stove on the mountain, they will cook a meal at noon and at the end of Shenshi. By the way, make more and save it for the next morning, and then you can go back. For food, buy some at a fixed time and ship it You don’t need to buy it every day. Of course, I will pay your wages, including the money for buying grain and cattle feed.”

All the aunts nodded when they heard the previous words, but they were not happy when they heard that they had to pay wages at the end.

The aunt of the Ye family is a straight person, she immediately took her hand and said: "You are wrong, thanks to you our daughters can go to the mountains to learn crafts, not only do you not charge tuition fees, but you are willing to give them wages, we already feel that we have taken advantage of it Yes, you let us come to help you, we are happy to do it, it is considered as paying tuition fees, this money is absolutely unacceptable!"

Lu Lishi smiled and shook her head, "Don't think this way, I was born in a merchant's family, and merchants are the most calculating, so I won't do business at a loss. Naturally, I have a reason for taking my sisters up the mountain. You don't need to Do you think you owe me something! Besides, brothers have to settle accounts, right? I am a very practical person, and I don’t like to default, so it’s better to be clear about what should be settled, what do you think?”

Although these words are extremely impersonal, she is such a person. Whether she is public or private, she can wear a pair of pants in private. The cheapness of people is also her principle.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the expressions of those aunts became awkward. Although we all knew that she wanted them to accept the money with peace of mind, but the words were indeed a bit mean, and more importantly, they really didn't care. Feel free to take money.

A few people looked at each other, Aunt Chen was about to persuade her, but Aunt Ye took the lead, "That's okay, since you are kind enough to help us with work, we will take over this job! Don't worry, buy We will remember the money very clearly, and we will never greedy you for a copper coin!"

She knew that this man looked kind, but he was a one-sided master. It was true that they wanted to help, so they agreed first, thinking that he was so busy, and they wouldn't always watch. They just moved more things up the mountain in private.

Lu Lishi laughed again when she heard the words, "You are serious. My father taught me not to be suspicious when I was a child, so I am relieved of you! Well, I won't gossip anymore, Mr. Shi, thank you Go and ask a few people to come down to lift things, and call one more person to watch the ox cart, and I will take the aunts up the mountain later."

Shi Liang glanced at Lu Lishi, then cupped his hands and said, "Master, wait a moment, the younger one will go now."

After speaking, he glanced at her again, then turned around and went up the mountain, but when he turned around, the expression on his face became rare.

Every sentence she said was extremely blunt but just right, and every aspect was well considered, but how could this be done like a teenage girl?
