Chapter 195 195. A beggar

  Chu Qingyue turned her face to Luo Yinhuan's direction, her heart was full of confusion, but she didn't ask, it was inappropriate and it was not her responsibility to ask.

   "Master, when will I come to learn embroidery from you?"

  The old woman patted Chu Qingyue's head lightly, "You wait for Master first, and Master will tell you later."

  Chu Qingyue nodded, "Yes."

  The old woman went back to her room and took a purple jade pendant, and put it solemnly in Chu Qingyue's palm, "Master's name is Ying Zilan, this is what my master left for me, and I will give it to you now."

  Chu Qingyue took the jade pendant with both hands, and said happily, "Thank you, Master."

   "Hey, come to learn embroidery from Master in the morning, and practice on your own in the afternoon. There are no rules here, Master, so don't be so rigid."

   "Yes, Master."

  The newly promoted master and apprentice chatted very speculatively. After a long time, Chu Qingyue left.

  …

  Chu Family Village.

  When Chu Qingzhi returned home, she called Shen Ruyue into the room, and told her what happened in the county just now.

  When Shen Ruyue heard that someone imitated her own rice dumplings, Qingxiu frowned, "Qingzhi, are you going to cut the weeds directly, or beat them first?"

  Chu Qingzhi tapped lightly on the edge of the bed with her fingers, and said, "I guess the person who brings outsiders to work doesn't know about it. Otherwise, the zongzi business will fail, and she won't be able to earn any money."

  Shen Ruyue looked at Chu Qingzhi, "Then tap and tap first, if you don't listen, next time you will cut the weeds and root them out."

  Chu Qingzhi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Let's do this first."

  Shen Ruyue left the room and went straight to the zongzi workshop.

  The rice dumpling workshop is usually very busy in the morning, but in the afternoon when cooking rice dumplings, everyone will be free. Everyone works very hard for one dollar a day, and they are afraid of losing this opportunity.

  Shen Ruyue inspected the workshop first, and then spoke, "Qingzhi encountered a very bad thing in the county today."

   Someone asked concerned, "What's the matter, has Qing Zhi been bullied?"

Shen Ruyue's face was serious, "No one bullied Qing Zhi, but someone copied our rice dumplings and sold them in restaurants, but she didn't copy them well. Not only did they smell musty, but they were also very salty. People took it back and returned it."

  Hearing this, one of the women slowly tightened her body.

  Shen Ruyue glanced at everyone one by one, "The treasurer Qian is very angry, and he wants to ask Qingzhi to return the goods, saying that he will not buy our rice dumplings in the future."

   This made everyone nervous. If they stopped selling zongzi, they would lose their jobs. It's all money!

  Shen Ruyue was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and continued, "But Qing Zhi calmed down the shopkeeper, and found the imitation person. In the end, this person will pay the shopkeeper twelve taels of silver."

  The tense woman's eyes went dark, and she almost fainted. Twelve taels, it would kill her half!

   I will never bring anyone to the zongzi workshop again. She was wrong. She shouldn’t have agreed just because of her aunt and niece’s hard work. She almost killed herself!

Shen Ruyue's eyes were like lightning, and she immediately saw that someone's expression was wrong, "But this time Qingzhi doesn't plan to go into the details, but next time something like this happens, she will definitely find out the culprit as a punishment. "

  The woman was worried and regretted in her heart, and after listening to Shen Ruyue's words, she relaxed a little, but she never dared to bring anyone back.

  After hearing this, the others felt their hearts beat, but they relaxed again when they realized that they hadn't made any mistakes.

  Shen Ruyue beat and beat, used psychological tactics very well, and finally imprinted this brand on everyone's hearts. From then on, no one brought other people to the workshop.

  …

  Shen Ruyue came to the room, and apologized, "Qingzhi, it's because my supervision is not good enough for this matter, I'm sorry, I will strengthen supervision in the future."

  Chu Qingzhi saw Shen Ruyue's dedication, how could she blame her, "You are busy like a spinning top all day long, I understand, this is not your fault."

  Shen Ruyue smiled, "Qingzhi, I won't do it next time."

  Chu Qingyue patted Shen Ruyue on the shoulder, "OK."

  …

  Li Qingyu walked into the house and said loudly, "Qingzhi, there is a little beggar outside looking for you!"

  Chu Qingzhi, "..."

  She got up and walked out.

  A dirty little beggar, his clothes couldn't see the original color, and his hair was messed up like a chicken coop. Beside him was a broken bowl and a bamboo pole that he threw away.

  He stood nervously at the gate of the yard, his eyes expectant.

  Seeing this scene, Chu Qingzhi felt that the little beggar looked familiar, "Who are you?"

  When the little beggar saw Chu Qingzhi, he immediately knelt down, covered his face and cried, and said excitedly, "Sister Qingzhi, I finally found you, I finally found you."

  Chu Qingzhi remembered who the little beggar was, "Li Zhangjie, is that you?"

  The little beggar cried and said, "It's me, it's me, Sister Qingzhi."

  Thousands of miles away, they all became little beggars, Chu Qingzhi helped them up, "Why did you come here?"

  Li Zhangjie burst into tears, and the tears drew a map on his dirty face, "Sister Qingzhi, I came here specially to find you."

  Chu Qingzhi paused, "What do you want from me?"

  Li Zhangjie knelt down again, "Sister Qingzhi, I will repay your kindness, I will repay you, no matter what you ask me to do, I am willing."

   Crossing thousands of mountains and rivers to repay kindness? Regardless of whether it was true or false, Chu Qingzhi felt a little moved, "Get up quickly, don't kneel, let's stand up and talk if we have something to say."

  Li Zhangjie looked at Chu Qingzhi like a dream, "Sister Qingzhi, I can do anything, let me help you, okay?"

   It happened so suddenly, Chu Qingzhi hadn't figured out what to do, "You go take a shower first, then eat something, and we'll talk about other things, okay?"

  Li Zhangjie nodded without falling, "Yeah, I heard sister Zhi clearly."

  …

   Half an hour later, Li Zhangjie put down his chopsticks and burped. He hadn't had a full meal for almost a year, so he was very happy, "Sister Qing Zhi, please arrange for me to work."

   "Don't worry, let me ask you, you come to find me, does your family know?"

   “They all know and are supportive.”

  Chu Qingzhi looked into the bright eyes of the little boy, and couldn't say what she wanted to send him back, "If you stay, you need to do dirty and tiring work..."

  Li Zhangjie directly interrupted Chu Qingzhi, "Sister Qingzhi, I am not afraid of hardship or tiredness, as long as I can do things for you, I am willing to do anything."

  Chu Qingzhi, "..."

   That's all, for a bite of food, this little boy can stay if he wants to, "What will you do?"

  Li Zhangjie thought about it seriously, "I can hoe, plant, and harvest, and I can read a few words."

If you can read, you can arrange to work in the shop of the second sister, or you can go to discuss business with the eldest brother. By the way, the eldest brother really needs an assistant now. Why don't you give him Li Zhangjie. Help big brother.
