"This is a bit too much" In the face of Zheng Peng's accusation, Guo Ketang said calmly: "The little girl only needs to shout indecency, she can achieve her goal, why bother so much, but I really want to see Zheng Gongzi's ability to adapt to changes." ”

After speaking, Zigu added: "Now it seems that Zheng Gongzi's ability is good." ”

Zheng Peng spread his hands, and then smiled helplessly.

What can I say, the status of the two is not equal, Guo Ketang can sell cute, play two, be a queen, can afford to play a little fresh, the most important thing is that she is a female man, Zheng Peng really can't do anything about her.

"Zheng Gongzi, how did you convince Cui Gongzi? Also, what's going on with that horse chasing the wind in the snow? "Gossip is a woman's nature, and Guo Dutang is no exception.

"It's nothing, it's just chatting, Cui Gongzi saw Zheng's dignified conduct and noble interests, and was moved by Zheng's personality charm, so he released his suspicions, as for the horse, it is not complicated, Cui Gongzi's horse was frightened and damaged the gate of my house, so he left the guilty horse and handed it over to me for training, just like himself."

"That's all", Guo Ketang couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Although I don't know what method Zheng Peng used to persuade Cui Xiyi, a gentleman, and I don't know why Cui Xiyi gave her beloved horse to Zheng Peng, she showed another characteristic of Zheng Peng: her skin is very thick.

Secondly, the last time I came to Guo's Mansion, I could see the clues, others were lowly hawkers, how far away from relatives and friends, Zheng Peng was good, he didn't care about his identity when he encountered something, and he ran to Guo's Mansion to make friends and take advantage of the situation, and he couldn't do it with a thin skin.

Guo Ketang is a very straightforward girl, seeing that it is difficult for her to get an answer from Zheng Peng's mouth, she gave up directly and asked, "I don't know what happened to Zheng Gongzi this time?" ”

If you can't gossip, it's better to talk about work.

Zheng Peng didn't talk nonsense, took out the sketch he drew last night, and handed it to Guo Ketang: "Miss Guo, take a look, this is a sketch of the braised meat processing workshop, you can see if there are any additions, and if you have any new suggestions, you can also put forward any new suggestions." ”

The two discussed that the production would be under the management of Zheng Peng, and Zheng Peng met and communicated with Guo Ketang before he started, which was regarded as respect for the partner.

Guo Ketang opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but light up: this is a three-dimensional stick figure, Liao Liao painted a processing workshop with a few strokes, and you can intuitively see that the processing workshop is divided into several parts, and the words processing area, living area, and leisure area are also marked on it, giving people a clear feeling.

"Hey, Zheng Gongzi, what kind of brush did you use to draw?" Guo Ketang asked in surprise as he pointed to the pattern.

The drawings brought by Zheng Peng, the lines drawn on them are slender and symmetrical, as if the size of each stroke is the same, the drawing is concise and intuitive, and it looks like there is a neat and pleasing feeling, and the careful Guo Ketang found it on the spot.

"Oh, this is written in quill, which makes Miss Guo smile."

Before selling braised pork, Zheng Peng set up a word stall for a few days, and the brush he picked up was damaged, not easy to use, and the new one was too expensive, so Zheng Peng pecked how to get a new pen, and once saw someone picking up a self-raised goose to sell in the city, his heart moved, and he remembered the goose quills he had done in the handicraft class when he was studying, so he asked someone for a few goose feathers to make a pen.

Quill pen does not have to use goose feathers, large poultry feathers can be, the best material is swan feathers, the method is also simple, first put it in the pot to steam the degreasing, the fat on the surface of the feathers is removed, so as not to have a peculiar smell, take out the selenium dry from the pot, and then heat treatment to make the wall tube of the goose feathers hard, improve the wear resistance of writing, the specific method is to insert one end of the goose feather head into the hot sand at a temperature of about 180 degrees, wait for the sand to cool naturally, and finally use a knife goose feather to cut the tip, stained with ink can be written.

It was originally prepared for the word stall, but the word stall business was average, and Zheng Peng was not willing to do any more promising work, so the quill pen was useless, and this time the sketch was used.

Seeing Guo Ketang's interest, Zheng Peng just brought a stick on his body and showed it to her.

Guo Ketang liked it very quickly, the white feathers, the delicate pen barrel, and the curved tip with an artistic sense of sharpening, in order to improve the style, Zheng Peng also tied a small pink strap on it, which looked like a beautiful work of art.

Let people send ink, after Zheng Peng's guidance, lightly dipped in ink, and wrote on the paper, that kind of unique touch made Guo Ketang feel like he couldn't put it down.

"This quill is good, Miss Ben." Guo Ketang put away the quill pen and said domineeringly.

"It's... Miss Guo spoke, and Zheng couldn't refuse, but I promised to give it to Cui Gongzi. Zheng Peng's eyes rolled, and he said with some embarrassment.

took the horse of this gentleman, and patted his heart and said to help him, it doesn't seem good to do nothing, and there is just an opportunity to send it to the door.

"No matter what, Miss Ben likes it, it's mine."

Zheng Peng pretended to be embarrassed, and then said generously: Okay, if Miss Guo likes it, take it, I will explain where Mr. Cui is. ”

A small quill can sell two favors, and it's worth it.

Guo Ketang played for a while, then asked the maid to put it away, and then pointed to the design drawing drawn by Zheng Peng and asked, "What does this leisure area mean?" Isn't it said that they are all slaves, it would be nice to give them food and drink, and get a recreation area to come out, there is no need to spend this money, right? ”

In the eyes of the ancients, the status of slaves and livestock is almost the same, Guo Ketang is not only careful, but also looks at drawings, and is a little puzzled by Zheng Peng's special drawing of an area for slaves for leisure.

"It's very hard to make braised pork, and you have to be stuck in one place for a long time and can't go out, you need to find a place for them to relax, so that they can work harder, for example, most of the people in the Guo Mansion have signed a deed of sale, right?"

"That's right" Guo Ketang did not deny it.

"I usually give you a reward occasionally, such as clothes, food, monthly money, etc., is there?"

“... Yes"

"If you are a slave and a maid, you are the master of the family, and you can do whatever you want, but why do you want to give extra rewards, isn't it just to envelop them, let them work harder and harder, and the same is true for the processing workshop, and there is another point, let them exercise more, be in a good mood, have a good body, and have a lot less pain, right?"

Guo Ketang thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Zheng Peng said, and soon pointed to Bowen, who represented the ditch on the drawing, and said: "Isn't it making braised meat, what's going on with this ditch, it's still three feet deep, it's almost winter now, how much work does this cost?" ”

Zheng Peng explained: "I personally think this ditch is necessary, to make braised meat needs to be cleaned, marinated, which requires a lot of water, digging a ditch to divert water, can save a lot of manpower, in addition, there are two functions, one is to effectively isolate the processing workshop and the outside communication, to prevent the leakage of the secret recipe, the other is to take water anywhere when the fire is fired, so as not to be used by people with intentions." ”

If someone uses fire to make a fuss and it really catches fire, do you want people from outside to rush in?

With a "snap", Guo Ketang snapped his fingers: "I said that the production belongs to you, I am not surprised by these designs, but I have a small proposal."

”

"Miss Guo, please speak."

"Ship early, make money early, the winter is not good to excavate, the cost is high, it is better to simply buy a small island, those small islands are not easy to develop, the transportation is not convenient, the price is cheaper than the wasteland, remote is also conducive to confidentiality, by the way, then the use of waterways, direct loading and distribution of ships, saving a lot of transportation costs." Guo Ketang said with a shrewd face.

Zheng Peng nodded and said, "This is a good idea, then I have to ask Miss Guo to choose the location and buy the land, by the way, there are also masons." ”

Guixiang County is the territory of the Guo family, and it is best to leave these things to her.

"No problem, I will send Steward Guo to assist you in this matter, and strive to make a name for yourself before the Chinese New Year." Speaking of excitement, Guo Ketang became excited.

"Absolutely." Zheng Peng said confidently.

In the traditional Chinese festivals, the New Year is the most important festival, there is no one, during the New Year, even the thrifty people will also find ways to improve their lives, for the Chinese people who take food as the day, the purchase of meat is essential.

This is a huge business opportunity.

The two hit it off, and in order to launch it as soon as possible, Guo Ketang immediately asked Butler Guo to accompany Zheng Peng to pick a place.

After the two left, Guo Ketang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to enjoy the novel quill, when a person ran in in a hurry, and the voice arrived first: "Is that kid from the Zheng family still there?" ”

As soon as he heard this voice, Guo Ketang, who was originally sitting, immediately stood up and said respectfully to the visitor: "Back to Uncle's words, Zheng Gongzi has just left." ”

It was Guo Yuanzhi in the mansion who spoke, and now he is the best person in the Guo Mansion.

It's strange, my uncle got Zheng Peng's famous post, and he has always regarded it as a treasure, and he has locked himself in the study to admire and copy it for the past few days, why did he suddenly run out?
