Chapter 65: Zhao Lan

On the vertical day, Zhong Ziqi took Zhao Xuemei and the three to the town early in the morning. Originally, Zhong Ziqi wanted to walk, but the second uncle of the Zhao family unexpectedly drove a carriage to send a few people to the town.

"It's still covered by Reiko's light, otherwise we have to walk!" Zhao Xuemei said jokingly!

Zhong Ziqi and Liu Meifeng nodded in agreement.

Qian Ling smiled embarrassedly. He always talks less, so he can only smile when he encounters such a scene! Don't know how to answer the call.

Zhong Ziqi turned left and took the three of them directly to the small courtyard.

"Brother Qi, this... isn't your shop in the south?" Zhao Xuemei asked suspiciously. He was Zhong Ziqi, Zhao Ah, their shop, but not here. This place is a bit northerly.

"This was bought separately and used elsewhere." Zhong Ziqi said, not realizing how amazing these words were!

"Is this your family bought?"

Liu Meifeng exclaimed, even Zhao Xuemei and the reticent Lingzi were shocked. How much does it cost!

Buying a house in the town is something that many people never dream of. If they thought that Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan had made a lot of money at the beginning, now they have overturned this idea, not making a lot of money, but making a lot of money!

These hundreds of two houses are just as daunting!

"Old house, not worth a lot of money!"

Zhong Ziqi smiled and didn't care!

The three people behind Zhong Ziqi looked at each other, and they all saw surprise, envy, awe and so on in each other's eyes.

After the renovation, there were two doors left in this house, one is the one used for errands! Then there is a door left in the work space opened on the left. Zhong Ziqi made two big sturdy locks and locked the doors securely to prevent people from entering when she was away!

Zhong Ziqi opened the lock and hung it aside: "Come in first, you guys will get familiar with it. Here I will go to boil some hot water."

After sitting in the car for half an hour, everyone's faces were flushed with cold!

The three of Zhao Xuemei looked at the three pots and stoves and the furnishings in the house and didn't know what Zhong Ziqi wanted to do.

When Zhong Ziqi poured boiling water for the three of them, he warmed his body. Zhong Ziqi unhurriedly took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to the three of them.

Liu Meiling and Lingzi looked at him in confusion.

However, Zhao Xuemei knew a few words and stumbled to read them out.

"From today onwards, Zhao Xuemei's art learned here in Zhong Ziqi cannot be taught to others without authorization, cannot be sold privately... cannot be sold without authorization, and the formula must not be disclosed... Otherwise, the compensation will be 100 taels! If there is an accident, it can be determined according to the situation..."

Zhao Xuemei looked up at Zhong Ziqi after reading.

Zhong Ziqi smiled and explained: "I believe that the three are not of that kind of person. They just have to have a guarantee. This word is based on your handprints. If you don't violate the rules, everything will be fine. This paper is useless. Think about it, just in case. After you have finished your studies, people ran away, and set up another door, what should I do? This is also a rule for people who will be recruited in the future."

Liu Meifeng and Qian Ling looked at Zhao Xuemei, wanting to see what he meant.

Zhao Xuemei was flexible in mind. He thought about it carefully and thought of this principle. No matter who he was, he didn't want to teach the hand art. The next day, they quit. It is excusable to think about it, or else they all say that the apprentice starved to death and the master was taught. Isn’t that the truth?

After thinking about this, Zhao Xuemei nodded, opened the lid of the cinnabar box, dipped the cinnabar, and pressed the hand print on the paper: "I am not that kind of person. I'm already content with my work here. If this spreads to the village, the long-mouthed envy will die."

Liu Meifeng pressed her fingerprints when Zhao Xuemei said this. Qian Ling naturally followed suit.

Zhong Ziqi nodded in satisfaction. In addition to their good character, the family members are not complicated, they are not the kind of greedy and malicious people. This is also Zhong Ziqi's relief.

After collecting these three documents, Zhong Ziqi began to teach the three how to make twists and fried dough sticks. Because the steps are simple, the three of them are all village women. They learn quickly, but the speed of twists is a bit slower, mainly twisting. Twist, if you can't twist it well, it will be broken when the pan is blown up. It can't be twisted too ugly, so the three of them have studied for a while.

And the more I admire Zhong Ziqi, there is so much at a young age.

"Brother Qi, where did you learn the fritters and twists? I have never heard of them."

Liu Meifeng and Zhong Ziqi are similar in age and lively, unable to hide their curious questions.

Zhong Ziqi knew that they would ask what they had already thought about. "My Eminem came here from a fleeing place. These twists and fried dough sticks are their food. We are not common here."

The three of Liu Meifeng suddenly realized that it was so, no wonder they hadn't seen it here.

In half a day, the three of Zhao Xuemei learned to master, Zhong Ziqi and the three of them returned to Zhaojia Village. When they left, each brought some twists and fried dough sticks. The three of them were naturally overjoyed and accepted happily. .

Zhong Ziqi sent the three people away and did not go home directly but to Zhao Lan's house at the end of the village. The house where Zhao Lan lives is considered to be the worst house in the village, because it is a mud house. If there is heavy rain, his house may leak. Even a single man can’t find a man to help. repair.

Fortunately, Zhao Lan used to have a good hairpin in the village, and if anything happened, the brother would take his fellow to help.

When Zhong Ziqi went there, the door of Zhao Lan's house was closed, and Zhong Ziqi knocked on the door.

After a while, it seemed to hear a door knock. A footstep approached from far to near, but instead of opening the door at the door, he asked: "Who is it?"

Zhong Ziqi knew that one of the other's brothers was not good at opening the door without authorization, and it was too late to call for problems.

After clearing his throat, Zhong Ziqi said, "Is this Lange? I'm Zhong Ziqi from the village."

Zhao Lan heard that his face was full of surprises, because besides his good friends, no one else would come.

Zhao Lan opened the door and, as expected, stood a gentle brother with a smile and a gentle expression outside the door. Make people feel good at a glance.

"come in."

Zhao Lan turned sideways to let him in, knowing in her heart that there must be something wrong with the other party.

Zhong Ziqi followed Zhao Lan into the room and looked around. At a glance, he saw several embroidered handkerchiefs and other semi-finished products on the kang in the room. Zhong Ziqi took a closer look and praised sincerely: "It's so beautiful, Brother Lan. The craftsmanship is really good."

Zhao Lan just smiled upon hearing this: "It's just to support herself in ordinary ways."

"Seeing it's winter, did Lange make your cotton-padded quilt?"

Zhong Ziqi can also be considered a knowing consultant, because Zhao Lan's kang has an old quilt with a lot of patches stitched on it, and it looks very thin.

Zhao Lan was silent for a while, and squeezed the padded jacket that was patched all over her body. Instead of answering him, she asked, "What's the matter if you came to me today?"

Zhong Ziqi smiled: "Yes, something is indeed coming to you today."

Zhao Lan asked suspiciously: "What's the matter?"

"It's like this... I don't need a man to sell goods for me now when I do business in the town, I don't know if Lange would you like it?" Zhong Ziqi asked.

"Why me?" Zhao Lan didn't look very happy, he seemed very rational and calm.

"You said Lang, don't be angry."

"you said."

"Actually, I also listened to Zhao Ama. Zhao Ama said that you are a very good person and very capable. Adding you alone, there is nothing to worry about, and there is little right and wrong, so I came to you."

Zhao Lan laughed mockingly: "There are few right and wrong. If I go to your place, there will be more right and wrong, and your ideas will be lost."

Zhong Ziqi smiled warmly: "I believe Lange, you will take care of it."

Zhao Lan said nothing.

"Lango gives you some time to think clearly. I want to understand that I will go to town with me tomorrow morning." Zhong Ziqi got up and walked out after speaking.

Zhao Lan just nodded and sent him out.

Zhong Ziqi walked home slowly and started washing her hands and making soup. Then wait for Zhao Zhengan to come back from the town to eat together.

…

Early the next morning, Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi got up early, had dinner and met with Zhao Xuemei, and then Zhao Ama, mother and son also rushed over, and Zhao Ershu drove the carriage over to send them off.

"Brother Qi, aren't you leaving?" Liu Meifeng asked, clearly everyone is here, why didn't you leave!

"hold on."

Zhong Ziqi said, looking into the distance.

In a short while, a figure gradually appeared in front of everyone. This person was not someone else but Zhao Lan.

"Ge Er Lan, why are you here?" Zhao Xuemei was also taken aback.

Only Zhao Ama's face was clear.

Zhao Lan looked at Zhong Ziqi, and Zhong Ziqi smiled and patted the position beside her: "Come on, Lang, it is Lang I'm looking for, and Lang can help me sell the goods."

"So that's what I said." Zhao Xuemei nodded.

Zhao Lan glanced at Zhong Ziqi: "You seem to be sure I will come."

"I'm not sure, but I think in my heart that you will come. If you are a sane person, you won't miss this opportunity."

Zhao Lan was silent. It was true that he couldn't miss this opportunity. Don't look at him alone in his family. All the food and clothing are money. Although he can make money by embroidering, how much money can he make?

Embroidery is the most time-consuming. From morning till night, his eyes are almost tired and blind, and he can't finish embroidering one. Moreover, his craftsmanship is not superb, so he can't change a few dollars at all. It is good to maintain adequate food and clothing. It's impossible to make cotton clothes and quilts.

Every piece of his clothes has to be worn carefully for several years, and there is no one without a patch. The only one with a few patches is the one he is wearing today.

When Zhong Ziqi saw that Zhao Lan didn't speak, he didn't continue to talk more about this issue, but told him what he was going to do today.

"There is nothing complicated, just sell goods and collect money. If you don't, ask Zhao Ning and Zhao A."

"Ge Lan, just ask me if you don't understand, I know everything." Zhao Ning exaggeratedly patted his chest and said.

The people in the car made a straight smile, and even the corners of Zhao Lan's mouth showed a smile.

The group of people just talked and laughed and entered the town.
