Chapter 1317 What is Lu Ji Workshop really like?
The next day, Shu Yu appeared at the entrance of the inn where Ren Huai and his companion were staying early in the morning.
Ren Huai arrived quite quickly, greeted Shu Yu politely, got into his carriage, and followed behind out of the city.
The carriage stopped in front of Lu Ji Workshop. Shu Yu said to Ren Huai, "This is our Lu Ji Workshop. It was just built not long ago, so many things are not complete inside. The place is simple. Please don't mind, Young Master Ren."
Ren Huai smiled and said, "Lord Lu, you are too kind."
As they spoke, the two stood at the main entrance.
Old Yang was still the gatekeeper. He greeted Shu Yu first, and when he looked up, he saw Ren Huai and Steward Xu. He was surprised and said, "Oh? It's you, young master?"
Shu Yu looked surprised and asked, pretending not to know, "Old Yang, have you met Young Master Ren?"
"Yes, it seems like it was about six days ago when you asked me for directions when you passed by here."
Shu Yu was taken aback and turned to look at Ren Huai, "Has Young Master Ren been here for six days?"
Ren Huai could only smile and vaguely explain, "I didn't expect this to be Lu Xiangjun's workshop. What a coincidence. I have indeed been here for several days, but I had some personal matters to attend to, which delayed me."
Shu Yu suddenly realized, "So that's how it is." She didn't press the matter further, but simply smiled and invited the two of them in.
Old Yang watched their retreating figures, stroked his chin, and clicked his tongue softly.
Not long after Shu Yu entered the gate, Da Niu came to greet her.
Shu Yu introduced the two parties, Ren Huai nodded, and Da Niu smiled sheepishly before turning around to lead the way.
"Our melon seed workshop is just ahead. This way, Mr. Ren."
Ren Huai looked around and saw that there were very few people in the workshop. Apart from Shu Yu and a few others, there was almost no one walking around outside.
When they arrived at the workshop entrance, Ren Huai was about to enter when Da Niu stopped him, saying, "Please wait a moment, young master."
He took a cloth cover from the cabinet next to him and handed it to the two of them. "These are shoe covers. Since our workshop makes food, cleanliness is the most important thing. To avoid bringing in dust and mud from outside, we have to wear these when we go in and out."
Ren Huai looked at the shoe covers in his hand with surprise, then turned to look at Shu Yu.
Shu Yu had already squatted down and put on the shoe covers.
She straightened up and smiled, "Young Master Ren, you don't think we're making a fuss, do you?"
Ren Huai snapped back to reality, shook his head, and said, "How could that be? I just didn't expect Lu Xiangjun to be so thoughtful."
Actually, it should be said that this was the first time he had ever seen it.
The Liao family runs a food stall, and compared to melon seeds that still need to be shelled, those that are made into dried fruit need this kind of environment even more.
The Liao family also had a workshop, but no one had ever thought of doing this.
To be honest, even though he was just starting out, Ren Huai already trusted the Lu family's melon seeds completely.
He glanced at Steward Xu, who had originally intended to find an excuse to criticize, but he forced himself to swallow his words.
The two silently changed their shoe covers and walked around the screen in front of them into the room.
As soon as he turned the corner, Ren Huai froze again.
All the men coming and going were wearing the same clothes, with overcoats, their hair was all gathered on top of their heads and wrapped in cloth, and... they had something on their faces.
Luo Chun was having someone clean up the pot of roasted melon seeds when the head steward came over and said that some people were coming to visit, so the roasted melon seeds should be put away and the next batch should be put aside until the visitors left.
