Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

Fortunately, they were well prepared and acted quickly. Shen Lingzhu met her youngest sister's father working in a coffin shop on the outskirts of the city.

After learning that the Fairy Chair and Seven-Star Bellows that were rumored in the city that morning were made by the Shen family, the youngest sister's father Qi Damai secretly told Shen Lingzhu: "Our shopkeeper's junior brother brought in the Fairy Chair at noon, hoping to persuade the shopkeeper to partner with him in making it."

She asked, "Has the shopkeeper not agreed yet?"

"Of course not." Uncle Huang Zongqi could guess the reason:

"It's difficult to do business in partnership, and the shopkeeper mainly deals in things for the deceased. Once he partners with others to do other things, he can make money, but if he doesn't, he will be the first one to be blamed." When he came in just now, he advised Xiao Zhuzi not to worry about this family.

Most people would definitely give up the idea of ​​buying a chair they plan to sit on every day if they knew it was made by a coffin shop.

"Uncle Qi, do you think other coffin shops would make and sell them?" Shen Lingzhu had to ask people in the industry.

Qi Damai said, “There are two coffin shops in and around the county town. The one in the city is run by the owner’s brother-in-law.

They haven't been in contact much, so I can't guess."

Shen Lingzhu: "Isn't the shopkeeper's junior brother in this line of work?"

"He's a chef in the old restaurant." When Qi Damai opened his mouth, Shen Lingzhu was stunned for a moment. The gap between the two industries was too big.

Later ask again for the person's name, as well as other carpenters and people who are no longer engaged in the carpentry industry.

The youngest sister didn't know much, but she told her everything and said that the uncle Daya she had met was a small manager in the lumber yard and knew many craftsmen who were carpenters.

When Shen Lingzhu was about to leave, he made a request: "Miss Shen, I heard that there are quite a few of you here, can you please include my brother?

Dagu is quite strong and works very hard. But he has a quick temper and is quick to use his fists when he gets angry. He's been working for Uncle Daya for ten days and has already gotten into two fights.

The manager of the lumber yard refused to let Qi Dagu work there again no matter what.

"We don't lack people to sell goods," Shen Lingzhu said halfway and found that Uncle Qi's face was full of disappointment.

She had been deeply impressed by Qi Dagu's strength when he single-handedly defeated the five Lu brothers.

She continued, "But we're in need of skilled carpenters, like you, Uncle Qi. The salary is nine hundred coins a month, with food and lodging provided.

The only drawback is that you have to live in Beigou and have only four days off a month." She wanted to say two days, but then she thought, the distance from Qijia to Beigou is forty or fifty miles, and crossing the river is only five miles less.

Two days of rest are only enough for people to travel back and forth, which is really not fair.

"Nine hundred?" Qi Damai was very tempted. His current monthly salary was only 700 coins, and he went home twice a month.

Uncle Huang was watching his niece's surroundings, fearing that other workers would suddenly approach and hear Xiao Zhuzi prying at the corner of the wall.

Shen Lingzhu did not force it. The wage was not low for ordinary people. His three uncles only earned thirty cents a day.

Like Brother Songzhu, even if he passed the county exam, he could only earn twenty cents a day without any technical advantages. Of course, his main purpose was not to make money, but to learn knowledge from his uncle.

"Uncle Qi, you can think about it for a few days. We will stay at Taihe Temple, four miles outside the south gate, and return to Beigou on July 14th." She told him the date of return.

After they had been gone for a long time, Huang Zongqi, the uncle, patted his niece who was sitting behind him and said happily, "In the past, your mother always said that Dazhuzi was cunning and thoughtful, while you were fond of eating and having fun and had no ulterior motives.

Today, it seems she was wrong. Little Zhuzi is quite strategic as well."

Shen Lingzhu immediately became cocky, her eyebrows dancing with joy as she said, "Of course, you see who I am. I'm the niece of Shenquan Yibadao, a fairy with both strength and wisdom."

"Hey, don't let the wind hit your tongue." Huang Zongqi was overjoyed by the flattery. The uncle and nephew worked together and soon found Uncle Daya at the lumber yard.

This guy is a down-to-earth person. Shen Lingzhu didn't say a single unnecessary word based on their previous friendship.

It was not until she gritted her teeth and handed over a string of copper coins worth a hundred wen from her backpack that Uncle Daya gave her the list and addresses of all the carpenters he knew.

Based on the list, Shen Lingzhu quickly found three carpenters living near the outskirts of the city. She was open-minded and promised high prices for custom-made products, and they actually signed the contracts.

The reason is very simple. These carpenters almost work alone. Now someone is willing to hire them for two taels of silver, even if it means they have to live in the mountains for a while.

What's more, Shen Lingzhu wanted to use their wood, and after making it at home and inspecting it, he would sell it to her for an extra ten cents.

But they met the owner of the largest woodworking shop in the city, who had just heard Qin Wei talk about the Jinshi bellows. After being repeatedly questioned by him, Shen Xianzhu and Song Zhu were defeated in no time.

Fortunately, Shen He, who was following the two of them, was knowledgeable and told the shopkeeper in time: "In fact, the Seven Star Box is the Jinshi Bellows made by Jinshi Shen.

We are all descendants of the Shen family and would never tarnish the reputation of our scholar-official by forging a deed."

He knew what his two nephews were worried about. It was nothing more than that Fifth Brother's current situation would make people look down on him.

However, the two of them did not understand that civil servants in their prime could be called up at any time, and the most adept businessmen would often take the opportunity to place bets, which was a good thing that would benefit them without any cost.

A few days ago, the Cai family wanted to say that their relatives had invested more money, but if the fifth brother recovered together one day, his family would earn more.

That's why the fifth brother said that his two daughters would not marry merchants.

"If the shopkeeper is willing to cooperate, we can also have someone witness it.

If you don't want to, please don't disclose what we discussed today." Shen He had some knowledge, and after being mentored by Professor Shen Huai for several days before leaving, he was able to keep his composure.

The two Zhus were a little surprised that Uncle Seven actually mentioned their father's (Uncle Five) name. Wasn't it said before that they were not allowed to say it?

He also deliberately named the bellows "Qixing" to separate it from the word "Jinshi".

After hearing what he said, the owner of the woodworking shop thought for a while before saying, "Aren't you afraid that I won't cooperate and will do it myself?

As far as I know, all the bellows rocking chairs are sold out today. If this business continues to be booming for three days in a row, many people will be jealous."

"It's okay. It's normal to compete with peers in business." Forcing people to cooperate is definitely not an option. Shen He waited for him to make a decision.

The shopkeeper finally asked, "Which branch of Mr. Shen's family are you from?"

Unexpectedly, his words made Shen Xianzhu unhappy. Are you checking the household registration card? "How about we talk about it another day? The shopkeeper will forgive me. Goodbye."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Xianzhu." Shen He and Shen Songzhu chased out, but unexpectedly the shopkeeper was faster: "Mr. Shen, please stay."

He roughly guessed that the young man in front of him had a very close relationship with the Jinshi master.

A person passing by on the road suddenly turned towards us and said, "Shen Xianzhu? It's really you.

When I arrived in Beijing, I just heard that you had returned home. I thought it would take a long time before I could see you. Unexpectedly, you took us all the way from Daomaguan and we met you by chance.

Come on, come on, follow me to the county school to see the teacher."

"Brother Wen Ce, please wait a moment. My family is still waiting behind us." As soon as Shen Xianzhu finished speaking, the shopkeeper behind him said with a smile on his face, "Young Master Shen, please go and do your work. The two elders of the clan will help entertain them."
