It took the family less than two days to cut the rice back and put it on the field at the door. It took half a day to thresh the rice and wait for the sun to dry.

A rice harvest ended so quickly in their home.

Tired for two days, Li Mo and the two children are nothing, but song Dashan, tie Zi and Mei Zi are all black.

Li Mo couldn't do it. On the third day, he went to the town early in the morning and bought a kilo of spareribs, a kilo of streaky pork, a fish, a jar of wine and some delicious food for the two children. Then he went home full.

Back home, Li Mo first gave the cakes to the two little guys to eat, and then took the bought vegetables into the kitchen.

Today, we have to make a good meal to make up for the oil and water.

There are a lot of dishes in the garden at home. Li Mo picked two more vegetables and made a table full of dishes at noon. Four adults poured a bowl of wine. The whole family ate and drank at the same time.

"My sister-in-law, they are all thin when they collect rice. Tie Zi and I have been working for two days. We are not only not thin, but also fat." Mei Zi sipped a sip of wine and was very comfortable.

Li Mo is funny, "which have fat, one by one all black, appear thin."

Tie Zi said with a smile, "sister-in-law, I'm not so thin. I've been eating so well these days. I can eat a lot of fish and meat every day. I can also eat some cakes. It's almost the same as Chinese New Year."

Li Mo raises a corner of the mouth, "do heavy work to want to eat well, you eat more, how economize also can't economize on food."

Meizi and tiezi really feel that they come to their brother's and sister-in-law's house not to work, but to enjoy happiness.

The family was eating happily when there was a knock on the door.

"Is the master's home?"

Li Mo hears this strange voice and looks at Song Dashan. He is going to have a look outside the door. Song Dashan holds Li Mo's hand and stands up first. "You sit, I'll have a look."

Song Dashan walked out of the door and soon led two middle-aged men in.

Song Dashan first opened his mouth and said to Li Mo, "Li Mo, these two are the boss and staff of yubaozhai in the town. They say they want to find you for something."

The leading middle-aged man in a long gown bows his hand to Li Mo and says, "Lady song, I'm the boss of yubaozhai. My surname is Xu. I've come here uninvited today. "

Li Mo stood up and covered up the doubts in his eyes. He nodded slightly to the man in the long gown. "You two come from a long way. Sit down first." Then he put two benches on the table and asked them to take their seats.

Boss Xu looked at the dishes on the table and knew that they were eating. As a result, he was slightly embarrassed to be disturbed by them.

Normally, he shouldn't have come to other people at noon, but after a few days of inquiring, he found out about the song lady. He couldn't wait for a moment, so he came. If he didn't come today, he might see someone later.

Can you still go to shangyueniang's shop to talk with others?

It's going to be blown out by Shang yueniang.

Boss Xu arched his hand again, "brother song, lady song, I'm so sorry to disturb you for dinner today. You don't have to pay attention to us when you eat. We'll wait until you finish eating."

Although they say so, they can't really continue to eat when they don't exist. Li Mo said with a smile, "it doesn't matter. We've eaten almost as well. Just wait a moment and we'll clean up."

Li Mo said to give plum a wink, plum meaning, quickly stand up and Li Mo clean up the table together, all the dishes on the table to the kitchen table.

Li Mo also put the two little guys to the kitchen table, let them continue to eat, said to Mei Zi: "Mei Zi, you and tie Zi continue to take the two little guys to eat, don't mind the things in front of me, your brother and I will come, don't wait for us." Then he went to the front.

Song Dashan had already served two bowls of tea to them.

Li Mo sat down and said, "what's the matter with boss Xu coming here today? Let's just say it. "

Boss Xu didn't expect Li Mo to be so direct, and he didn't want to make a detour at the moment. He said directly, "Lady song is making up for others in Yuefang Zhai of shangyueniang's house, isn't she?"

Li Mo listens to this words, eyes tiny flash, in the heart to this Xu boss today's purpose had the general understanding, but on the face or pretend not to know, only nodded, "yes, the little woman is really in the month Fang Zhai make-up Niang."

Boss Xu stroked the beard on his chin and said with a smile, "I'm so lucky to have seen the craftsmanship of Lady song. No one can match her."

"The boss Xu praised me falsely." Li Mo knows that this is just a foreshadowing, the back is the key.

Sure enough, the next second, the boss Xu said, "I really appreciate the skills of Lady song. I want to invite her to make up for the guests in my shop." Then, as if afraid of Li Mo's refusal, she immediately added: "don't worry, lady song, I'm not asking for nothing. Besides the money for your make-up, I'll give you a monthly reward of one or two silver. I don't know what lady song thinks?"

He has inquired about it. In shangyueniang's shop, the song lady has no money except for her make-up money. Now he is willing to give him one or two more silver. I don't believe that the song lady won't agree with him.Since Shang yueniang invited song Niang to make up in the shop, the business in her shop has been getting worse and worse recently. Many customers went to Shang yueniang. At first, he didn't know what was going on. Later, after inquiring, he found out that everyone was attracted by the make-up girl from Shang yueniang's shop. According to the women who went to make up, the make-up girl's craftsmanship is superb, no matter how ugly she looks , can be good-looking, but also free to teach people to make up for their own bun comb method.

He was so worried that he saw that the business in the shop was getting worse and worse that he immediately decided to dig people.

He inquired about this make-up girl's news everywhere. He spent a lot of time to find out the news clearly. He had planned to contact this make-up girl in private a few days ago, but he didn't see this make-up girl appear in Shang yueniang's shop these days. He was so anxious that his mouth blistered. Finally, he decided to come to the door to talk about it, and there was today's business.

Fortunately, he came here, and now he saw that the family was destitute, and he was more confident to dig the makeup girl back into his shop.

Therefore, he waited for Li Mo's answer with great confidence.

And Li Mo, although already had a little guess, but still didn't expect that today was dug the foot of the wall.

Has her reputation spread so fast?

However, although she was very happy that someone appreciated her craftsmanship, she had to refuse the kindness of boss Xu.

Although there is no extra silver or two in yueniang's shop, yueniang did not hesitate to give her a place and opened up a dressing room specially for her. Yueniang patiently recommended it to every guest when they came into the shop, which made her make-up business very good.

Now, she and yueniang are not only partners, but also good friends. She believes that yueniang is a good person. If she works in her shop at ease, she won't invest in another house for only one or two silver.

So at the moment, Li Mo looked at boss Xu apologetically, "I'm really sorry, boss Xu. I've promised yueniang to work in her shop all the time, and I don't want to change one. Thank you for your kindness."

Listen to Li Mo refuse without hesitation, Xu boss surprised stare big eyes, "you... Song Niang Zi, do you dislike one or two silver less?"? Well, I'll give you one or two and a half silver a month. What do you think? "

Li Mo shook his head and said sincerely, "boss Xu, it's really not a matter of money. You have to keep your word and have a beginning and an end. I don't want to go anywhere because who gives you good conditions. It's too powerful. I really appreciate boss Xu's kindness and appreciation, but I choose yuefangzhai first. I really can't change one at this time. I'm sorry, boss Xu."

"Song Niang Zi, she died for money, and birds died for food. It's understandable to change her family into a better one." Xu boss still not give up to persuade.

Li Mo's face didn't change, and her eyes were still firm. "Boss Xu, I have made up my mind. Don't say it."

Boss Xu's words of persuasion are all stuck in his throat by Li Mo's words, and he can't speak them out.

He could see that Li Mo didn't disagree because of the lack of money. What she said was true. She refused because she didn't want to betray her faith.

I don't know why, at the same time of regret, his heart rose to appreciate the song lady.

A woman with a poor family can resist the temptation of money and choose faithfulness. It has to be said that her character is very good.

It seems that today's persuasion will not succeed, and it is estimated that there will be no chance in the future.

Boss Xu looks at Li Mo with regret and sighs, "Xu admires lady song's character very much. In this case, I can't force her, just..." at this point, boss Xu pauses and smiles again, "but I have one more thing, I hope lady song can consider it."

"Oh? Mr. Xu said

"I heard that song Niang Zi can not only make up, but also make perfume. Now the low-cost perfume sold in Shangyue Niang's shop is provided by you. It sells very well. I wonder if I can also sell your perfume in the shop?" Mr. Xu felt his beard and said, "this is not sorry for Mr. Shang, is it?"

Li Mo looks at boss Xu and is slightly surprised.

It seems that boss Xu knows her very well. Even she knows about selling perfume. It seems that she is well prepared today.

Unfortunately, Li Mo still can't agree.

When she decided to sell balm in yueniang's shop, she thought that the reason why she only sold balm in yueniang's shop and didn't go to other places was due to the limitations of the market.

The market in the town is so big, and there are so many people who buy cosmetics. If you give it to yueniang, and if you also give it to other families, the total quantity will not be much, but the quantity sold by yueniang will decrease sharply. What's the point of her painstaking efforts to find so many sellers? Sometimes it's not as good as selling alone when the quantity is large. There's a certain reason for hunger marketing.

Moreover, another reason is that she will open her own shop in the future, and she also plans to take the cheap perfume as a feature of the shop. If every shop has it now, then her shop's reputation will not be so good.

Although very embarrassed, but Li Mo still had to refuse the proposal of boss Xu again.In the end, boss Xu came back disappointed.

The next day, Li Mo went to the shop. The first thing she did was to tell the landlady what happened yesterday.

After hearing this, the landlady didn't get angry. She just said, "your skill is good. Recently, because of you, the business in the shop is much better than usual. It's hard to avoid robbing other businesses. No one is a vegetarian. It's inevitable to hear from you. I think boss Xu is not the only one who is making your mind." With that, the landlady took Li Mo's hand, and her eyes were moved. "But I didn't expect that you turned down boss Xu. After all, he was willing to give you more than half of the silver. Sister, sister is so moved. "

Li Mo patted the landlady's hand, "sister Yue, I always remember your support for me at the beginning. I'm very happy with you. Where can I leave because of the better conditions of other families? Then what kind of person am I?"

The landlady raised her smile and said, "sister, don't worry. My sister is not that harsh person. I will never let you suffer losses when you are with me. In the future, I will give you one or two silver more every month. You can do it with ease."

Li Mo immediately shook his head and refused, "sister Yue, I can't do anything. I'm very grateful for using your shop and eating your food here. Where can I ask you to give me extra money? Don't compare with boss Xu. Sister Yue, don't worry. I won't go to other shops. If you give me money, I won't be my friend."

Landlady moved to embrace Li Mo, "sister, you have this friend, is sister's blessing, sister thank you."

Li Mo pats the boss's wife's back, and then talks about the perfume, "sister Yue, it seems that other families have noticed the low price perfume, which is still very easy to sell."

The landlady nodded, "Your perfume is affordable and cheap. It's sure that it's easy to sell. Now there are fewer and fewer people who buy the perfume before. Sooner or later, others will notice

The landlady said, looked at Li Mo, hesitated for a moment, still said: "sister, sister wants to say something. Your perfume is a good thing. I don't worry about selling badly. My sister wants to focus on selling your perfume, but there's one thing wrong with your perfume. It's too few. There are only two flavors in all. It's not as fragrant as your perfume. Several women have asked me if I have any other flavor before, and I shake my head and answer

Li Mo smell speech, see the perfume that store puts, wry smile.

She didn't think of this. The two flavors are really too few, but there are only two kinds of wild flowers in Houshan, and there are no others. Where can she make perfume with other flavors?

Even these two kinds of flavors are not going to be able to make it. It's going to be autumn soon, and the rose is going to fall. At that time, even the fragrance of rose flowers will not be able to make it.

She had been thinking about this problem for a long time, and she had a solution in her mind, but she didn't have so much money to realize it for the time being, so she had to put it off again and again, waiting for her family to be rich.

I didn't expect to be mentioned by the landlady now.

It seems that this matter has to be settled ahead of time.

Li Mo looks at the landlady, the mind moves.

The author has something to say: ah, this holiday is more tired than no holiday. I was pulled up early in the morning to be a strong man, went out to buy new year's goods, and then cleaned up. I'd better hurry to see you during lunch time. I'm going to make dumplings again soon.

By the way, today is Valentine's day, I wish you a happy Valentine's day, whether there is no object, we should be happy.

See you tomorrow
