Dressed as a wronged stepmother, I was pampered by three villains

Boss Mu was still studying the chess pieces carved by Yan Beichen. He couldn't stand it any longer, so he simply went inside and took out an ornament. "Sir, look, this was carved by my apprentice. Is it vivid enough?"

Zhang Biluo greatly appreciated it, "It has a nose and eyes, and the scales are shining. OK, I need this kind of carving."

Boss Mu asked hesitantly: "Use scraps too?"

"No! It's too bad to be sorry for this technique. We have to use the best - leftover materials."

Boss Mu: "..."

He thought for a while and said, "Is it okay to use red sandalwood? The chess pieces don't use much material. I'll try to find corners, but the chess box can't be ambiguous."

Zhang Biluo smiled and said, "Then please calculate how much money a set costs. If it is too expensive, I can't afford it."

Boss Mu started to pull the abacus beads again: "The lid of the red sandalwood chess box is fully carved for you. Eight kinds of animals are combined into relief patterns, and the sixteen chess pieces are all carved into animals. This is a set of three or two."

Zhang Biluo sighed, "It's quite expensive."

"It's expensive, but if you change hands, you can easily sell it for several times the price."

"Then if the previous checkers were replaced with rosewood, the balls of the pieces were engraved with patterns, and the boxes were made more detailed, what could be made at the cost of three taels?"

"The chess pieces are carved with treasures and flowers, with some hollows, and the box is double-layered with hollows."

"Okay, I want ten sets of each of these two."

"Okay, I'll definitely satisfy you!"

Zhang Biluo thought for a while and then said: "Now the highest cost is three taels, and the lowest cost is five cents and ten cents. The price difference is too big. Please help me weigh it again, and we can divide it into two grades.

"

Boss Mu was playing the abacus beads very fast, "The round head of the checkers is slightly hooked with a few cloud patterns, and the fighting beast chess is engraved with words. The craftsmanship is simple, and a set of twenty coins is needed. If the wood is changed to mahogany, the checkers pattern will be a little more complicated, and it will not work."

How about hollowing out and making the beast-fighting chess simple? A set of 500 pieces like this?"

Zhang Biluo gave a thumbs up, "Boss Mu is very considerate. Those who cost 20 yuan will need one hundred sets each, and those who cost five hundred yuan will need forty sets each."

Boss Mu finished the calculation and showed the order to Zhang Biluo: 200 sets of fighting beast chess worth 5 cents, 200 sets of checkers worth 10 cents; 200 cents worth of both chess sets, 100 sets of each; 500 cents worth of checkers.

Forty sets each, ten sets each worth three taels.

"Sir, there are one hundred and seven taels in total. You can give us fifty taels first, and then pay the rest after you get the goods."

"I need it urgently, when can you deliver it?"

Lao Mu calculated with his fingers, "It will take half a month no matter what. Your chess pieces are delicate work and difficult to carve. We have more than one order in hand and we don't have enough manpower."

"I'm afraid it's too late. If I make the ten-wen checkers and five-wen beast-fighting chess first, can it be completed in three days?"

"Okay, all the apprentices will make this for you. Come pick it up early the day after tomorrow."

"If the remaining ones that need carving can be finished within seven days, I will pay you another twenty taels."

Without saying a word, Lao Mu started flipping through the ledger, "The five dressing boxes ordered by Mr. Li will be delivered next month, and the rosewood box for Liu Shilang's birthday will be delivered within ten days. The thirty windows will not be delivered until spring...these gourds, pagodas

, the sandalwood stove will be delivered immediately, but fortunately we are a regular customer, so we won’t be blamed for being a day or two late. Okay, all the people in our workshop will keep their hands on the young master first, and you will come early in the morning in seven days!"

Lao Mu had a sincere look that said, "As long as you say it, you can definitely do it." Zhang Biluo breathed a sigh of relief and directly put down the eighty taels of silver notes. He is so interesting, so let's open up, right?

Patting the small crimson pouch, Zhang Biluo sighed again. When he went out in the morning, there were five hundred taels of silver notes here. After paying the deposit for the bookstore and chess pieces, there was not much left. It was really hard to spend money.

Baofu was worried, "Young Madam, you have made so many chess pieces, can you sell them?"

"able!"

Baofu was very melancholy: "Spending money is like running water. How about I go out to see a doctor and help you earn more."

Zhang Biluo laughed loudly: "Don't worry about it, I have a solution of my own. This is all on my mind right now. I'm going bald just for two thousand taels of silver."

Baofu was startled, "Are you really bald? It's worse than turning white hair overnight! No, I have to get you some medicinal food to nourish you."

Zhang Biluo said quietly: "If there are no side effects, I will take it for a long time. Business is so brain-consuming, and my hair will have to be fucked sooner or later!"

"Then I'll make you some wigs, otherwise you'll be embarrassed to see people."

It was already noon when he came out of the back street. Zhang Biluo and Bao Fu got into the carriage and went straight to Bieyuan on the outskirts of Beijing.

Yan Beichen was wearing a big cloak, and his wheelchair was under the corridor. It looked like he had been waiting for a long time. The man's starry eyes were shining, and there was a smile on his lips. He looked even more handsome against the backdrop of the snow.

"Sanniang dressed up as a young man, he is so handsome."

"That's natural."

Zhang Biluo looked at him and thought: Yesheng showed up on Yuxiu Street last night, and he looked just like that. General Yan was more handsome than him no matter what. Alas, Xiaoyan did not have the halo of the protagonist, and was beautiful and powerful in the true sense.

.

"Why are you staying here? It's not too cold either."

Yan Beichen directly took her hand, "Aren't we waiting for you?"

Zhang Biluo was obsessed with his career, and all he could think about was how to sell chess pieces, how to save enough money, how to clean up the bookstore... He suddenly asked Yan Beichen to hold her hand, and she was immediately stunned.

"What are you doing?"

"Cover your paws."

Oh oh oh! Zhang Biluo finally reacted and said with a smile: "Thank you Erlang, Erlang is the best."

She pushed the wheelchair inside and whispered into his ear: "I almost forgot to show affection, right? Don't worry, I promise there will be no flaws in the performance."

The warm breath was next to his ears, and Yan Beichen's eyes darkened a little. Zhang Biluo asked, "How is your leg?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Don't scare me. If it really doesn't matter, Du Wuji will break out in fear. I, Zhang Sanniang, am not that weak and can withstand things. Just tell me the truth."

"I was too impatient and practiced leg training a little too hard. Dr. Xue did acupuncture to remove the blood stasis and re-prepared the medicine. My condition is getting better day by day."

Zhang Biluo stared at him, "Really?"

"It's all the truth, not a single lie."

Zhang Biluo was relieved and asked for nothing else. As long as he followed the original plot and his legs became smoother within half a year!

"Sanniang," Yan Beichen grabbed her hand again, "If there is any movement in the house tonight, you should be more alert."

"Is something going to happen tonight?"

Yan Beichen waved, and Zhang Biluo came over.

"Isn't it? You actually," Zhang Biluo was dumbfounded, "how long have you arranged this?"

"It didn't take long. They were too helpless." Yan Beichen smiled softly, "Thanks to you, the book of words you wrote for Mrs. Tian made her frightened every day and had no time to care. We have made such progress."

"That's because she has something going on in her heart. It might not have worked for someone else."

"If tonight goes well, they won't find out."

Zhang Biluo nodded: "Mr. Tian has been slacking off for a long time. She has stopped going to Mr. Hou's place and is looking for conversation books all over the house. Lin Yingshi's attention is completely on Yan Hanguang. Yan Binghe has Yingshuang and the outer room.

The Marquis Mansion is his inn, and he will only sleep when he comes back. If nothing else happens, it should go smoothly."

"Even if there is an accident, Sanniang doesn't need to pay attention to it. I have my own way to deal with it."

Lunch had been served and the two of them ate together. Just after they finished eating, Yan Liu came to report, "General, Pang Pang is here."

Yan Beichen frowned, Pang Jue? Why are you always running here when you have nothing to do!
