The next morning, Li Xianglan came back from the workshop and looked very bad, but she still told the news she had found out from the workshop.
After some inquiry, more than half of the women working in the workshop were tempted to leave the workshop like Wang Er. And they also knew the people who made them leave, namely Qian and Zhang.
Niu Dali knew without asking about it that the person behind Qian and Zhang was the Huang family. The Huang family also bought a lot of tender sunflower seedlings from his family, but now they have grown a lot of sunflowers.
But seeing Li Xianglan showing a worried look on her face, Niu Dali also knew what she was worried about. Over the days, Li Xianglan has always been cooking in the workshop. Although she and the people in the workshop are not very close, they are not bad.
If someone in the workshop really leaves the workshop for profit, Li Xianglan will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.
"Xianglan, isn't no one in the workshop agreeing to leave? It means they are still heading to our workshop."
Niu Dali comforted Li Xianglan. In fact, there is no need to worry about this. Even if someone is really poached, they can only recruit people again.
Leng Qiuniang shook her head. She didn't believe that everyone in the workshop could resist the temptation. Now most people don't agree, which only means that the person hasn't paid the price they are tempted by.
"Sister, I think you should be more careful. Those people may have some ideas that they don't know if they want to poach people!"
Niu Dali understood what Leng Qiuniang meant. Compared to poaching people, the method of making five-spice melon seeds is what those people want the most.
"I understand this!"
Li Xianglan is weak in character, but it doesn't mean she is stupid. She can still hear what Leng Qiuniang said.
In the following days, it seemed as if nothing had happened, and the workshops were still busy, and carriages from various towns came to Xinghua Village to transport five-spice melon seeds.
Leng Qiuniang originally wanted to stay for a few days before leaving silently, but she found that the longer she stayed at the Niu family, the more reluctant she was to leave.
The feeling here gives her is very comfortable and warm, without the luxury of being rich, or a joyful and plain.
Listening to the two girls calling her "auntie", Leng Qiuniang would have a hint of love. Perhaps because she could not have her own children in her life, she especially likes cute and likable children.
Da Ya Bingxue is smart and restrained, while Er Ya is smart and clever. Although she is a little naughty, her naughtyness makes people feel uncomfortable.
But Leng Qiuniang likes Da Ya more. Da Ya is talented and intelligent, and is simply an uncarved piece of uncooked jade, which makes her want to teach what she has learned to Da Ya.
Nowadays, Da Ya is not full of knowledge, but she is also a talented woman, so she thought about letting Da Ya learn other things, such as playing the piano.
So, Leng Qiuniang told Li Xianglan about this, and Li Xianglan told Niu Dali again, and of course Niu Dali had no objection.
Thinking of Da Ya's appearance as she played the piano, her head was full of her head. Da Ya was wearing beautiful white clothes, sitting in front of the guqin, plucking the strings, and she was sure to look beautiful.
But the problem is that he doesn't understand the guqin and asks him to buy it casually. Leng Qiuniang is a very picky person. She asked her to buy it together. She dared not go out for fear of being recognized.
Finally, Niu Dali asked Liu Fugui for help. Liu Fugui is the shopkeeper of a big restaurant and knows more people than him. Even if Liu Fugui doesn't understand Qin, at least he knows people who know Qin.
Liu Fugui was not surprised. Now Niu Dali’s family has a melon seed workshop. Not to mention making money every day, but there are also many. It is also good to ask the girls at home to learn something, so he agreed.
Within two days, Liu Fugui sent the guqin.
Niu Dali didn't expect Liu Fugui to be so fast. Liu Fugui laughed, "How dare I neglect what Brother Niu explained!"
This guqin is not cheap either, 1,800 taels, but it is within the price discussed by Niu Dali and Li Xianglan. Although Li Xianglan usually saves money, she will not be stingy with the two girls' learning aspects.
What's more, their family is really not short of the money to buy a piano now.
Niu Dali and Liu Fugui thanked him and asked Li Xianglan to take silver from the house to Liu Fugui.
"Brother Niu, I will give this guqin to my elders for my two nieces."
Liu Fugui politely declined. Although the guqin is a bit expensive, his Stork Tower has its current status and is still a blessing for Niu Dali's family.
"This won't work. I don't understand the piano. I'm grateful if you can help me find a good guqin. How can I let you pay for money?" Niu Dali shook his head and said.
"Yes, Manager Liu, you must not refuse to accept this money!" Li Xianglan echoed.
Liu Fugui sighed in his heart that he had always known that Niu Dali's family was simple, which was also the reason he liked to be close to them. "Brother Niu, since you said that, I'm disrespectful!"
Then, he talked about melon seeds. Liu Fugui was well-informed and had long since found out that many people were doing melon seeds, including Huanghelou.
The Yellow Crane Tower and the Stork Tower have always been mortal enemies. Now the Stork Tower has five-spice melon seeds that barely overwhelm one end of the Yellow Crane Tower, but the Yellow Crane Tower has an imperial chef at least. If the Yellow Crane Tower also has melon seeds, the Stork Tower may not be able to make a profit from the Yellow Crane Tower.
In fact, not only Liu Fugui has this concern, but also the restaurants that traded with their workshops. Niu Dali really can't explain anything to them.
Once the sunflower matures next time, it will definitely bring a huge impact on the market. However, it is impossible to sell the five-spice melon seeds with his family. At most, Liu Fugui and others will not be able to sell the five-spice melon seeds at a high price like before.
After Liu Fugui left, Li Xianglan took the guqin and let Leng Qiuniang see it. In fact, Li Xianglan didn't understand the guqin, and didn't know whether Leng Qiuniang was satisfied with the guqin.
Leng Qiuniang took the guqin, touched it, and nodded, "Then the shopkeeper Liu is fair, there are at least two thousand taels of this guqin on the market."
Da Ya's eyes were bright, Er Ya said excitedly with her face: "Auntie, can you play it to me?"
Xiu'er was also very curious. It was the first time she saw the guqin like when she grew up so old.
Leng Qiuniang smiled like a spring breeze, lowered her eyes, and her slender fingers slowly plucked the strings, and a leisurely sound of the piano suddenly came out.
The sound of the piano gradually spread in this quiet afternoon. Niu Dali did not enter the house, but stood under the eaves and listened carefully to the sound of the piano coming from the house. Although he did not understand the piano, it did not mean that he could not listen.
"Did you hear any sound?"
"Is there any? Why didn't I hear it?"
"No, right, I heard it too!"
The women gradually stopped their work, and Widow Sun also vaguely heard something and listened to it.
The workshop suddenly became quiet.
Suddenly, a pleasant sound of piano came over.
