Madam, She Has a Tender Heart - Chapter 463

Chapter 463: Satisfactory

The group left Lu’s house and walked to the street, where they saw Lu Shengcai walking down the street with a middle-aged man, talking and laughing.

Xiao Qi had sharp eyes and waved at him: “Grandpa, grandpa!”

“Xiao Qi?” Lu Shengcai was very happy to see Xiao Qi, trotted towards Xiao Qi and picked her up.

The grandfather and grandson bumped their foreheads, and Xiao Qi chuckled.

“Is this the wife of Jiedushi? Zhao Jing has met the wife.” The middle-aged man walking with Lu Shengcai hugged Su Qingyu.

 Lv Shengcai introduced them to the two of them. Su Qingyu nodded towards the other party as a greeting.

“President Lu, since you have something to do, let’s talk about it another day.”

 “Okay, sorry for neglecting me. I’ll treat you to a drink tomorrow.”

 “Okay, then so and so will be waiting.”

After the middle-aged man left, Lu Shengcai saw that Su Qingyu wanted to see the iron shop, so he took Su Qingyu there.

“Is dad doing the business of the Chamber of Commerce smoothly now?”

Seeing her asking, Lu Shengcai nodded happily: “It goes by the way. Everyone knows that I am Bo Cheng’s father. Now that he is walking on the road, everyone looks up to him. We also get along smoothly with foreign merchants and the blacksmiths in Xuzhou. ”

Lu Shengcai listened to Su Qingyu’s suggestion and acted as a bridge between foreign merchants and local blacksmiths. He thought he was just a matchmaker. Unexpectedly, slowly, a chamber of commerce was established, and more and more shops joined in. in.

Now this chamber of commerce has played a great role in stabilizing the price of ironware in Xuzhou, balancing the relationship between craftsmen and merchants, adjusting production capacity, and playing a great role in the ironware business in Xuzhou.

 Let Lu Bocheng and Xuzhou Yamen worry less.

And Lu Shengcai was respected by everyone, both high and low. When walking on the road, who wouldn’t call him president? Regardless of whether he is sincere or not, many people are fawning over him.

He himself thought about how difficult it was for Lu Bocheng to be busy every day and do his best to take care of this task. In addition, he is fair and just in dealing with things, so blacksmith shops and foreign merchants love to look for him.

Now that he has gained fame, fortune and money, his second wife is also living a prosperous life. Even Lu Bozu’s private school has no shortage of students.

Lu Shengcai’s role as president is going smoothly, and he himself is happy every day.

Life is getting better, and Lu Shengcai looks several years younger than when he first came to Xuzhou. He is holding Xiao Qi and walking like a tiger, without breathing at all.

 “Xiao Qi misses grandpa?”

“Think about it, grandpa hasn’t seen Xiaoqi for two days.”

“It’s grandpa’s fault. Grandpa has been busy entertaining the caravans from outside these two days and forgot to see Xiao Qi. Can grandpa take Xiao Qi to watch a sideshow later?”

 “Okay, let’s watch the fire-breathing and monkey show!”

“Okay, grandpa will take us Xiaoqi there in a moment.”

When I arrived at the Lu family’s blacksmith shop, I saw people coming and going at the door. Lu Bozong and Mu were entertaining the merchants who came to purchase.

 The couple welcomed him and they were very familiar with each other.

“Sister-in-law, why are you here?” Lu Bozong and Mu saw Su Qingyu coming and hurriedly came over to say hello.

Su Qingyu nodded towards the two of them and smiled: “Xiao Qi is bored at home, I will take her out for a walk.”

Lu Bozong then turned to tease Xiao Qi: “Xiao Qi is bored at home? Can I take you to buy something delicious later?”

“No, grandpa will take Xiao Qi to see a sideshow and a monkey show later. Grandpa will buy some delicious food for Xiao Qi.”

“Then Xiaoqi will come see your uncle tomorrow and your uncle will take you to play.”

“Then I have to ask my mother tomorrow.”

The little girl looked like a little adult, which made everyone look at her with surprise. “Xiao Qi is so cute, I want to take her home and raise her,” Mu said to Su Qingyu with a smile.

Su Qing said with a smile: “If you want a daughter, you can give birth to her yourself, so why come and **** her from me? Now that Wei Wu is older and has gone to private school, it’s just the right time for you to raise another daughter.”

Lu Shengcai was happy after hearing this: “Foster, you all will raise them, dad will help you take care of them.”

Su Qingyu and Mu looked at each other and smiled.

Su Qingyu walked around the shop and saw that the shop’s front was twice as big as when it first opened. The shelves were filled with all kinds of ironware. The workmanship was very good and they were all new. It seems business is good.

 “It seems that the craftsman we hired is very good at his craftsmanship.” Su Qingyu looked around.

“Yes. These craftsmen are very good at their craftsmanship. I can’t even finish the orders I received now. I’m thinking about hiring a few more craftsmen.” Lu Bozong’s business has grown now, and he is fat and generous.

“It’s not easy to hire good craftsmen.” Lu Shengcai said.

“If you don’t want to hire us, we can train them ourselves and let a few craftsmen help bring out a group of apprentices. Even if they can’t work in the future, we will give them a pension every month to support them in their old age and write it into the contract. Don’t be afraid that they won’t take apprentices.”

Su Qingyu suggested.

Lu Shengcai and Lu Bozong’s eyes lit up: “This is a good idea. Once we say we are willing to support them in their old age, they will definitely be willing to help us train apprentices.”

“Sister-in-law, you still have an idea!” Lu Bozong gave her a thumbs up. He was still worried about where to hire the craftsmen.

Su Qingyu smiled. These days, skilled craftsmen are easily reluctant to teach their skills. I am afraid that the master will starve to death after teaching the apprentice.

 But if we provide them with some welfare conditions so that they can maintain a living security even when they are unable to work, they should be willing.

Su Qingyu only made suggestions and didn’t care about how to operate.

 After looking around, he left the shop.

Xiao Qi went to see a sideshow with her grandfather, and Su Qingyu went to the Iron Street to have a look, and also to her own shop. After walking around, I saw that business was getting more and more prosperous, and I felt very good.

Xuzhou can now support an army of 200,000 people due to the tax revenue from iron mines. Both Lu Bocheng and her breathed a sigh of relief.

When I returned to the house, I saw Qing Xing there.

He glared at her: “Why are you here again?”

“Sister, why don’t you want me anymore after I get married?” Qing Xing pouted with a look of aggrievement on her face.

“Don’t I want you? You’re already married, and you still run to my sister every day. Aren’t you afraid that your grandfather will have objections?”

“Grandpa said that there were too many things going on at the Yamen in the evening and he wouldn’t come back for dinner. Pei Chi also went to Haizhou. I’m at home alone. It’s too boring to eat alone. Sister, doesn’t the house still have a bowl of rice for me?”

Su Qingyu glared at her, is this a matter of a bowl of rice?

This girl is married, but she still runs to her every day, saying that she misses Xiaoqi, and that the food in the house is delicious, so she has to find excuses to come over to eat, just like a child who can’t live without her mother.

Pei Zhi is so busy now that she is the only master in the huge Pei Mansion during the day. Qing Xing is not used to it, so she runs to Su Qingyu every day.

Su Qingyu also sympathized with her.

“Can I save you a bowl of rice? But you can’t come over when your grandfather is here. It would be so lonely if the old man eats at home alone. Marrying you back home will be the same as not marrying him.”

“Don’t worry, how could I not know? My grandfather said he wouldn’t come back for dinner, so I came here.”

Su Qingyu nodded her forehead.

He said: “Now your brother-in-law is fighting in Caozhou, and he has to send military rations and various military supplies from the rear. Your grandfather will probably be busy for a while.”
