Chapter 150 Dying House
Jiang Tangtang was surprised when he heard that Nie Xiuying came with her daughter to deliver a message and wanted to see her.
Is it possible that she was caught out so quickly because of her little tricks behind her back?
However, Jiang Tangtang quickly put away the surprise in his eyes and led others to greet him.
When Nie Xiuying saw Jiang Tangtang, she immediately showed a kind smile, "Is this the owner of the pastry shop? It's just like the rumors. She looks like a fairy."
If Jiang Tangtang hadn't already known her true face, she would only I was afraid that she would be deceived.
Jiang Tangtang showed a happy and shy expression at the right time, "Who is this madam? You are too generous."
"Our madam is the owner of Cai Zhi Zhai. The largest pastry shop in Raoying County is owned by our family." Nie The maid next to the lady showed a proud expression.
Nie Xiuying glared at the maid, "How can our shop compare with the pastries in Jiangdong's shop? Jiangdong's family is really not only beautiful, but also young and promising..."
She praised Jiang Tangtang profusely, and then He smiled apologetically and said, "My servant is not sensible. I hope Jiang Dong's family won't be angry."
Jiang Tangtang was polite to her and wanted to see what she was going to do today.
Nie Xiuying kept praising her in various ways for a quarter of an hour before saying, "Jiangdong, you see that the pastry styles in your shop are fresh, but they have no foundation. I heard that several waves of people have come to your shop recently to cause trouble and take advantage of you. Why don't you consider marrying someone and establishing yourself in the county?"
Jiang Tangtang spat in his heart and felt shameless. She was secretly looking for someone to steal her shop, and now she is pretending to be a good person. There was a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for her to continue talking.
Nie Xiuying said: "I am bragging. Although our Yang family is not a wealthy family, we are involved in all walks of life. If you marry my family, I guarantee that no one will dare to take advantage of your shop."
Jiang Tangtang's eyes fell on the girl beside her, and she said regretfully: "Miss Yang is very talented, but my son is still young, so I'm afraid she won't be able to do it."
The smile on Nie Xiuying's face froze, and after a moment she smiled again: "I heard you My brother-in-law hasn't gotten engaged yet, what are you going to say?"
Before Jiang Tangtang could answer, she praised her daughter to herself again, and her meaning was self-evident.
Yang Qingxue on the side lowered her head, but a shy and nervous look appeared on her face unconsciously.
Jiang Tangtang said: "I can't make the decision. My mother-in-law has the final say on my brother-in-law's marriage. But it's unlucky for you to come here. My mother-in-law was beaten by a troublemaker a few days ago and is lying in bed recovering from her injuries!"
Nie Xiuying I originally thought that with the strength of the Yang family and their low profile to win over the Lu family, the Lu family would agree without even thinking. She didn't expect that Jiang Tangtang would refuse.
Yang Qingxue on the side also blushed.
Based on her looks and the Yang family's status in Raoying County, she has never been worried about getting married.
The reason why she followed her mother to the Lu's house was because she accidentally met Lu Shili a few times and fell in love with him at first sight, which is why she did such an unethical thing.
But he didn't expect that the Lu family would actually refuse.
Yang Qingxue couldn't sit still anymore, covered her face and rushed out. Nie Xiuying's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. She gave Jiang Tangtang a serious look, turned around and left.
"Sister Jiang, Nie looked so fierce when she left. Is she going to take revenge on us?" Guo Yu asked worriedly.
Jiang Tangtang squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Since she is still in the mood to scheme against others at this time, let's add more fuel to the fire so that she can't do anything!"
Guo Yu said hurriedly: "What should I do? I Go now."
Jiang Tangtang shook his head and said, "You can't do this."
Guo Yu had a disappointed look on his face. Jiang Tangtang smiled and said, "But you can send a letter for me to call the second boss back."
Lu Shili received Jiang Tangtang's letter and hurried back, "Sister-in-law, has something happened at home?"
Jiang Tangtang shook his head, "Explain it. How are things going with you?"
Lu Shili picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp, then started talking. In the past few days, in addition to looking for people to build houses, he also used Jiang Tangtang's money to recruit many subordinates.
Jiang Tangtang gave him another thousand taels and said: "Buy a dyeing workshop. Don't let people know that the dyeing workshop belongs to our Lu family. You'd better send someone else to come forward.
In addition, recruit a group of masters who can dye cloth." , and it's best to be able to cut off the supply of fabrics to the Yang family. If not, find a way to find sources of supply from other places."
Lu Shili said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, are you planning to steal the business of the Yang family's dyeing shop first?"
Jiang Tangtang nod.
"The Yang family's dyeing workshop is unique in the entire Lingnan. That's because the Yang family has a secret method in their hands. The cloth they dye is brighter than other families and is not easy to fade."
Although he was eager to defeat Yang Family, but still has some sense.
Jiang Tangtang said, "Don't worry about that. I'll give you a prescription in a few days, and you just have to make the arrangements I told you."
Seeing Jiang Tangtang's determination, Lu Shili didn't say any more, and walked out with the money.
After Lu Shili left, Jiang Tangtang hid in the space.
As early as the last time she was looking for books in the book bar, she found books on textiles, dyeing and other aspects.
She followed her memory and quickly found the book.
The fabrics produced by the Yang Family Dyeing House are unique in Lingnan due to their brighter colors than others, but the dyeing techniques of this era cannot compare with modern ones.
Jiang Tangtang read the book carefully, then sorted out the contents and wrote it into a booklet.
While Jiang Tangtang was reading, Lu Shili also acted quickly. The Yang family is domineering, and many dyeing shops have been squeezed out by them over the years.
Lu Shili quickly found a group of masters.
It was also easy to find an old dyeing workshop. Lu Shili bought one without much effort.
The only troublesome thing is the cloth supplier.
Affected by the climate, local people do not grow cotton. The Yang family's dyeing workshop mostly imports white cloth from other places, dyes it, and then sells it.
These people have been working with the Yang family for many years. It is naturally not easy for the two parties to cooperate.
Lu Shili made appointments with several cloth merchants, but was rejected by them all. When he was thinking about finding another cloth merchant, he suddenly had a turning point.
"Sir, I heard that the Yang family's business is now in charge of Mrs. Yang's business. The Bai family is the largest supplier of the Yang family, and the prices between the two companies have been negotiated long ago. But Mrs. Yang's goods are now not as good as in previous years. It's a good reason to lower the other party's price, but the other party is dissatisfied!"
The person who spoke was named Haizi, Lu Shili's new subordinate.
He has recently accepted a lot of people with the money Jiang Tangtang gave him, but not all people he paid for are reliable and can be used.
At the moment, there are only five or six people that Lu Shili can trust.
Haizi is one of them.
"Go and inquire about the situation of the Bai family. In addition to the people in charge of the Bai family, you should also inquire about the preferences of the Bai family's stewards." After Lu Shili gave his instructions, he returned to the pastry shop first.
Although I trust Jiang Tangtang, buying so many goods from the Bai family is really not a small sum of money.
