"Okay, you only come out if I mention Ruan Sanlang. You were sent by Brother Mo to monitor Ruan Sanlang and me." Wen Qingcheng crossed her arms and looked at him teasingly.

"What do you want to see me for, girl?"

"Please sit down. Nothing's wrong. I just can't sleep, so I wanted to chat with you for a while. Why hasn't Yunpeng come out?" Wen Qingcheng gestured to Yinfu to sit on a chair beside her.

"He is a dull and cold person, and he doesn't talk much."

"Oh, what do you do for a living?" Wen Qingcheng asked awkwardly.

Hidden Bat tilted his head slightly, and a big question mark seemed to appear on his head: "Isn't my job obvious? Miss Wen doesn't seem to be very good at chatting."

Wen Qingcheng coughed awkwardly. It was true that they were not familiar with each other and had no common topics, so how could the conversation not be awkward?

"Um...what do you mean when you said today that your young master likes me?" Wen Qingcheng folded her hands behind her head, lying on the recliner, looking at the starry sky, not looking at Yinfu.

"If he didn't fancy you, why would he send two of us shadow guards to protect you? Our young master is usually very aloof, and I've never seen him care so much about any girl."

"Brother Mo hasn't said anything yet, you are just guessing. Our family has helped Brother Mo, he just treats us as family." Wen Qingcheng didn't quite believe Yin Fu's words. Mo Jinghong had never confessed to her, and their identities were even more different. Mo Jinghong was a rational person, he wouldn't...

Hidden Bat seemed to laugh, "How can a man say things like 'I like you' and 'I love you' all the time? Our Master likes smart and kind girls, and he doesn't care about their status at all."

"Hey, you are so gossipy, does your young master know about this?" Wen Qingcheng joked. But she was still very happy and surprised to hear Yin Fu say that Mo Jinghong liked her.

Yinfu shrugged, Wen Qingcheng propped up her head with one hand, and looked at Yinfu curiously. "Yinfu, I've met Ah Falcon and Mo Ya, and I found that you are the most talkative and cheerful."

"That's right. Ah Falcon is the best among us in Kung Fu. He is introverted and doesn't talk much. Mo Ya is calm, bold and careful. Yun Peng is dull and cold, but he has superb flying knife skills."

"How many of you are there in total? Who are the others? I just discovered that all of you Shadow Guards are named after birds."

Yinfu deliberately avoided Wen Qingcheng's questions. Although he was a chatterbox and even gossiped a lot, he kept his mouth shut. How many shadow guards they had and who they were were all secrets. Apart from what Wen Qingcheng already knew, he had nothing else to tell her.

Wen Qingcheng was also very tactful and did not ask any more questions. The two chatted until late at night. Wen Qingcheng yawned and felt sleepy. "I'm going back to my room to sleep."

Wen Qingcheng stood up and took two steps, then suddenly asked, "By the way, where do you sleep at night? You don't hang upside down on a tree like a bat, do you?"

"Yunpeng and I take turns to rest and sometimes we'll be on your roof."

Wen Qingcheng's body stiffened. She often walked around in the room without drawing the curtains. Doesn't that mean... there is no privacy at all!

Seeing Wen Qingcheng's pale face due to fear, Hidden Bat put away his amusement and explained, "This is also to better protect you. It's only on the roof and can't be seen in the house."

Does he dare to look? If he dares to look, his master will dig out their eyeballs and feed them to the dogs.

......

The construction of the backyard was progressing very quickly. The ground was paved, the walls were painted, and the roof was suspended. Wen Qingcheng now had sufficient funds on hand, so she could decorate it more luxuriously. Even the backyard was leveled, paved, and greened.

Wen Qingcheng also asked the craftsmen to build a large stove in the house and install a chimney. He planned to build a stove first, and then add another stove when the scale became larger. Anyway, their family had plenty of space, and the three medicine workshops in the back were still very large.

After setting up the stove and paving the ground in the yard, she can prepare for production. Before that, she has to ensure the supply of raw materials and get the raw materials in as soon as possible. Later, she has to hire workers, and there is still a lot to do.

The first thing to solve now is the issue of raw materials and who to choose to purchase them.

Wen Qingcheng came to the study room on the first floor and saw Ye Xiuying studying hard. She was really inspired by Wen Qingcheng's words that thirty-seven is the right age to make breakthroughs.

"Mom, your handwriting is getting better and better." Wen Qingcheng couldn't help but praise.

"Your father taught me to read before, but I never learned to write. Now, I can recognize some simple characters. Your grandfather taught me how to use an abacus, and I have been able to use it since I was a child. Then I learned some professional knowledge about accounting."

"Mom, you are really smart. You have made such great progress in just a few days. Now that I have you as my accountant, I will also find a purchasing agent."

Ye Xiuying put down the pen in her hand and asked, "Who do you want to go to purchase?"

"I heard that my uncle Zhuo has not had much work recently, and the family relies on those few acres of land. Aunt Song Jiao has been saving money for Tingyu to marry a wife in the future. I want to give this job to Uncle Zhuo. I will pay him a monthly salary plus commission."

Ye Xiuying did not disagree. Once her career was successful, she would definitely let her closest people have a share of the profits first.

"As for cleaning the donkey hide, I have already paid Xiao Liu. After we open our workshop, we will not outsource the work. I thought we could ask Li Hongxiu and my third brother's two sisters-in-law if they are interested in cleaning and cutting the hide. We need two men to boil the glue."

Wen Qingcheng was thinking about the processes of washing, cutting and drying, so she looked for a few neat and capable women. The step of boiling the glue was very hard and critical. Although the new pot was designed with a control lever, the whole pot could be stirred by turning the control lever, but the action could not stop during the boiling process and it had to be filtered several times, which required excellent physical strength.

We must find a man who is serious, careful, responsible and strong to do it. As for the most important step, it is the spiritual spring water used to boil the glue. Wen Qingcheng plans to regularly inject the spiritual spring water into the well. The spiritual spring water has a purifying effect, so that the well water can be directly drunk.

Ye Xiuying had done some calculations in the past few days. If she hired someone to do it, she could still make a lot of money after deducting the material and labor costs. If she didn't hire anyone, she and her mother would be exhausted. "Okay, you go ahead and ask. We need to carefully select the person who will make the glue. Ask your Aunt Ruan to help ask around. She knows a lot of people."

"Well, I'll go to my third uncle's house and Aunt Ruan's house to ask today. One of us will take care of the accounts, and the other will take care of the personnel and overall planning. We don't have to do the specific work."

Ye Xiuying said happily: "I never thought that one day I could be an accountant. If your father knew about this, he would be shocked to death."
