Chapter 137: Chapter 137

Mu Cheng walked behind Mu Bai and gently squeezed her shoulders.

"Ma'am calm down, the child is still young, we have to teach it slowly."

"Eight years old, are you still young? I heard from my grandfather that you could use an abacus to help you settle accounts when you were eight years old. This kid is good, jumping up and down all day like a monkey."

Mu Bai's words became more and more angry, but Mu Cheng's expression was calm.

"Ma'am, our children and grandchildren have their own blessings. It's useless to be angry. Maybe our Jianlan and his grandfather may not be as good in literary talent, but may be a genius in martial arts. We Jianlan can't be a talented literati. A chivalrous man with world-class martial arts is not bad, just now I saw Mr. Jun, Jianlan was very happy to kowtow and serve tea obediently, we Jianlan just like martial arts so we didn't run away."

After listening to Mu Cheng's comforting words, Mu Bai's heart was not so blocked, but his brows were still not relaxed.

"He's happy, but I'm worried, and I don't know what Grandpa is thinking. I know that Mr. Jun was exiled to Xiliang County because of his resistance to the decree, but he still dares to keep him as Jianlan's teacher." Martial arts enlightenment teacher."

Mu Cheng had no choice but to retell what Old Master Mu said just now to Mu Bai in a peaceful manner.

Mu Bai is not only knowledgeable, but also a knowledgeable woman. Although she still had some concerns in her heart after Mu Cheng's words fell, she didn't say anything more in the end.

Jun Wulan was walking on the white streets facing the cold wind that cut his face. When he saw a shop selling snacks, he first went to the shop and bought three bunches of candied haws for three Wen.

When he received three bunches of candied haws from the boss, he asked the boss casually: "Boss, I have a question for you."

Jun Wulan just bought something, and the boss was very kind: "What's the matter? Please tell me, guest officer."

Jun Wulan said: "Is there a shop for cotton quilts near here?"

Although he has been in Xiliang County for a while, every time he comes to the town to sell prey, he can't wait to go home after selling the prey, so he is not very familiar with Xiliang Town, he came out of Mu Mansion and walked along the street to here He only saw grain and oil shops, cloth shops, etc., so he had to ask the boss here.

The boss pondered for a moment and then pointed in a direction while responding.

"The shop with bouncy quilts is in the Plum Blossom Alley in front of you. You can ask someone after you enter the alley."

"Thank you."

The boss wrapped the three sticks of candied haws in oiled paper. After Jun Wulan thanked the boss, she took the oiled paper bag and strode towards the alley in front of her.

There are quite a lot of residents in the alley, and the alley is winding. After entering the alley, Jun Wulan asked someone to inquire twice before he found a shop that played cotton quilts.

Boom boom boom, the sound of tapping the cotton bow came from the shop.

Hearing the voice, Jun Wulan walked to the door of the shop, glanced inside, and saw a couple in their thirties busy with cotton bows on their backs.

Seeing Jun Wulan cross the threshold, the woman stopped and asked enthusiastically: "Is the guest officer going to play the quilt?"

Jun Wulan said: "I don't play quilts. I have several sets of worn-out quilts at home. My wife wants to take them apart and flip them. Madam Boss, can you take over this job?"

Although no one has ever taken old quilts here to disassemble and flip them, the proprietress knows that this method is feasible.

The proprietress's eyes lit up and she replied: "It can be done, big brother, go home and get the old quilt."

Jun Wulan was overjoyed.

"How much does it cost to flip an old quilt?"

The proprietress said: "We, my husband and I, charge you [-] Wen for bouncing a ten-jin new quilt for our guests, and you will also be charged [-] Wen for flipping an old quilt."

A set of cotton quilts is 120 Wen for flipping. Counting the quilt and mattress, there are six sets of old cotton quilts in the family. After flipping, the total cost is [-] Wen.

Jun Wulan felt that the price was right.

"I'll deliver it early tomorrow morning, lady boss, how long will it take to flip through six sets of quilts? There are only six sets of quilts in my house. If I can't finish it in one day, I will have no quilts in my house."

The proprietress looked embarrassed.

"Big brother, you can't finish flipping six sets of quilts in one day. Even if my husband and I are busy from morning to night, we can only flip six sets of quilts at most in one day, and six sets can be completed in two days."

The proprietress said so, Jun Wulan naturally couldn't force her anymore, she thought about it for a while and said, "Then you and your wife, the proprietress, need to spend more time to complete three sets in one day, otherwise my family will not have a quilt to cover at night."

"to make."

Inspired by Jun Wunan, the proprietress agreed in a good mood. After Jun Wulan left, the proprietress dragged her husband to discuss: "Sir, you heard what the big brother said just now."

While looking at the work in hand, the man responded to his woman: "Why didn't you hear that? Why did you accept it so easily? You flip through three sets of old quilts a day. Do you know that loose and clumped old cotton is The most time-consuming thing, if you can't finish the work, you will lose your trust."

The lady boss is not worried at all.

"What are you worried about? With me, I will work with you for a day to prepare three sets. What I want to tell you now is that it is a good business to turn over old quilts. There are so many families in Xiliang Town. There should be old quilts in the house. The new quilts in our shop are not easy to sell this winter. Why don’t we sell new quilts and take over the job of re-recovering old quilts, even if we re-recover a set of old quilts? We only charge [-] Wen, and we can earn a lot from so many families in Xiliang Town, this is a costless business, we only need to put in a little effort."

Jun Wulan was thinking about her family, so she left Xiliang Town and went straight to Dahuang Village after she came out of the quilt shop.

At this moment, there was very little cooking smoke on the roof of the small courtyard built of yellow mud outside Dahuang Village, and the heat from the cooking smoke melted a piece of snow on the blue-tiled roof.

Shen Qingcheng was cooking lunch in a worn-out apron, while Jun Yiluo was sitting in front of the stove warming up the fire, holding two little hares in her arms.

"Mother, what did you make, it smells so good?"

Shen Qingcheng shredded cabbage and stir-fried chicken giblets. Although there were a lot of vegetables and little meat, they made up a whole bowl.
