Little Chenxi is still young, so there is no need to worry about the separation between men and women. He can be placed directly in the martial arts gym during the day and have someone take care of him.
Qiao Sangyu no longer had any worries and devoted all her attention to the weaving workshop.
With Qiao Sangyu around, Tang Shiyue really doesn't have to worry about anything. She can think of many things without having to ask. For Tang Shiyue, it's just... she can be lazy again.
Tang Shiyue came out of the construction site, turned a corner and went to Xu's house.
She wanted to ask Xu Wenqu to write a sign.
Nowadays, people's naming is unremarkable, and they usually just remember their surnames.
Xu Wenqu asked her what she wanted to name it, and Tang Shiyue said, "I originally wanted to call it Tang's Weaving Workshop, but I don't think it sounds good. How about you help me think of one?"
Xu Wenqu smiled and said, "If you ask me, it would be better to just call it 'Yuefang'."
Yuefang...simple and clear, and nice to the ear, it sounds quite like a clothing brand.
Tang Shiyue said, "Then let's call it Yuefang! I knew you would definitely come up with a name that I like."
...
...
Xu Wenqu laughed, and while he was grinding ink with his breath, he said with a smile: "Tang family wine, Yuefang clothes, I am waiting to see what else our Yue'er can make."
When he said that, she suddenly remembered, "Sir, don't you like this question?"
Xu Wenqu turned to look at her. She looked at him seriously. "You scholars, aren't you all very noble? I asked you to write a sign for a wine shop and a sign for a weaving workshop. Doing such down-to-earth things, don't you feel... embarrassed?"
"How could that be?" Xu Wenqu said with a smile, "I am just a poor scholar who only hopes to become famous through your Tang Family Wine and Yuefang Clothes. How can it be said to be embarrassing?"
"That's good." Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "If you don't like it, you must tell me directly. I'm stupid and can't read people's expressions. I can't see the obscure expressions of you scholars."
Xu Wenqu smiled and said, "Today I realized that Yue'er is actually stupid."
Tang Shiyue turned to Tang Shirong and the others and said, "You can also help me write something."
Tang Shirong asked, "What to write?"
Tang Shiyue said, "I was thinking that my wool business is going to be a long-term business. Manually twisting the yarn is really too time-consuming, so I want to write something and send it to craftsmen from all over the country. The gist is, I want a spinning wheel that can spin wool. Whoever can make it can come to Jubao Village to find the 'Master of Yuefang'. I will reward him... one hundred taels? Or two hundred taels? Anyway, that's the idea."
The spinning wheels nowadays are all hemp spinning wheels. Skillful ladies have tried several times to spin wool, but they failed and needed to be improved.
Tang Junchen asked: "Do we need to write this? Can't we just ask someone to ask?"
Tang Shiyue said: "Do you think invention is so easy? Besides, even if it is easy, there are still good and bad ones. I want to achieve a brainstorming effect. Maybe by then, more than one person will come up with it? Then I can choose the best one."
Tang Junchen said: "The best ones don't need to be written. I think many craftsmen may not be able to read."
She said, "So you are not allowed to write in a flowery way! You have to write something that someone like me can understand at a glance."
Seeing that Tang Junchen still wanted to speak, Tang Shiyue pretended to roll up his sleeves and said, "Hmm?"
Tang Junchen instantly shrank back and nodded rapidly: "Write it right away! Write it right away!"
Xu Wenqu laughed, and then Tang Shiyue brushed his sleeves back with satisfaction, while still muttering: "Sir, didn't you say last time that you would introduce me to some scholars as talented as you? The kind who are not preparing for the imperial examination? When are you going to introduce them to me?"
Xu Wenqu smiled helplessly: "Are you really not going to learn how to write?"
Tang Shiyue had actually been practicing calligraphy secretly for more than two months, but she was too embarrassed to show it to this talented man for the time being.
So I asked confidently: "Why should I learn when you are here?"
Xu Wenqu hesitated for a moment: "Do you really want to hire someone?"
Tang Shiyue was puzzled, "Of course."
Xu Wen asked, "I do know someone who has the title of a scholar, but he lost an arm, so he can't take the exam again. His talent is no less than mine. He is the only one in his family. If you really want him, I can write to him and ask him."
Tang Shiyue asked: "Is he a good person?"
Xu Wenqu said sternly: "He is an upright man. I guarantee it with my life."
"Okay," Tang Shiyue said, "I want someone who can read and write and help me take care of all kinds of trivial matters. It would be best if he knows a little about criminal law, finance, accounting, paperwork, etc. The salary will be good, but a real scholar may find this job not very decent. This is the situation. You can write to ask."
Xu asked and he agreed.
Tang Shiyue took the words he had written and left.
Not only did she make a signboard, she also had someone carve a few large seals so that they could be stamped on the "outer packaging" when the time came.
After the wool was sorted in the temporary workshop, the drum wool washing machine and drying bed ordered by Tang Shiyue were also ready. They set up a shack by the river and began washing the wool, drying, loosening, and twisting the wool... The wool was sent to the town in batches, and then sent back in batches after being dyed.
Ten days passed in a flash, and Tang Shiyue was so busy that she was dizzy. When she saw Qi Jing again, she suddenly realized that she hadn't seen him for a long time.
Qi Jing looked normal, and perhaps she was the only one who could see that he was very happy at this moment.
As soon as they met, he took her hand and said to her, "It's done!"
Tang Shiyue didn't come back to her senses for a moment: "Huh?"
He said, "The wine is ready!"
Tang Shiyue then realized that he was actually holding two jars in his hands. He did not open them, but directly unscrewed the water bag on his waist and asked her to smell it. The pungent smell hit her nose.
Distilled liquor is indeed different!
Tang Shiyue said: "You don't have to bring it back, and you don't have to tell the villagers, just run the business outside."
Qi Jing was stunned for a moment, then nodded. The two walked back side by side. He whispered, "Let's call this wine Hero Wine, okay?"
Hero wine... Tang Shiyue took a sip and nodded: "Okay."
Qi Jing said, "In fact, you can ask Han Yi to take this wine to Lanzhou. In a place like the grassland, there will definitely be people who want this kind of wine."
Tang Shiyue thought the same thing as her, and said, "Okay, you can talk to him when the time comes. Just treat it as your wine."
"Yeah." Qi Jing also gradually calmed down and said, "Then, for now, let's just pretend that this wine has nothing to do with you? I'll find someone to run it myself?"
Tang Shiyue nodded, and Qi Jing asked, "How about giving you 50% of the profit?"
"No need." Tang Shiyue looked around and saw that there was no one around. She held his hands with both hands and looked up at him. "A Jing, it's useless for me to have a lot of silver. Although I don't know what you want the silver for, you are definitely not like me, just a simple rat hoarding food. So you don't have to share the interest with me. I am not short of money anyway. You make money and do something meaningful."
Qi Jingyi lowered his eyes and looked into hers. After a long while, he whispered, "Do you trust me so much?"
"Yes," Tang Shiyue said affirmatively, "I believe you."
He said, "I can't repay you with all my wealth, so how about giving you three matchmakers, six betrothals, and ten miles of red dowry?"
Tang Shiyue glared at him: "Can you please stop saying such weird things? It's not like you anymore."
Qi Jing pursed his lips, feeling a little helpless.
When the wine was brewed yesterday, those people wanted to pack it up and give it to her on the spot... Maybe they didn't expect that she might not want it.
But, she had no choice! She was destined to be his.
Qi Xiaolang looked at the young lady's back and pursed his lips silently.
