Chapter 717 The Seventh Stroke Chapter 17: How to Control People

After a busy morning, by the time the Zhang family's mother-in-law arrived, Du had already made five or six kinds of small meatballs and put them in ice cubes to cool down. The remaining pumpkin puree, sweet potato puree, and yam puree have just been steamed and left to cool in the pot.

"It's so early for you. It's me who came late. I'm really sorry." The person sent was Mrs. Deng, who was also a close friend of Zhang Yi. I heard that she was an old man who had always been with him.

As Mrs. Deng said, she blessed Baiyun River and said, "Bless you."

This is the person whom the mistress values, and she is also Kogoro-kun's mother. She may not know what will happen in the future, so she has to be more polite.

"You're welcome." Bai Yunxi smiled gently, not caring about her thoughts.

When going out to do business, being friendly and making money, as long as people are diligent, other things can be ignored.

Mrs. Deng stood up, rolled up her sleeves, walked to Mrs. Du, and said with a smile,

"Ms. Du, if I need to do something, just give me your instructions. On weekdays, my wife, I stay in the house and have never done anything like this. If I do something wrong, I just want to correct it."

Du Shi felt a little restrained when she heard others being polite to her.

"Aunt Deng, you're welcome. Actually, there's nothing to do. I'll just crush these steamed pumpkins and sweet potatoes into puree later."

"Okay, leave this job to me, Mrs. Du will just go and do other things." Mrs. Deng looked at the basket of pumpkins and sweet potatoes spread out to dry, and agreed.

Before setting off, the master made it known that the Bai family, who were making a living, were not prepared to spy on them. The Zhang family would just run the shop and do the labor.

Don't delve into secret things. Whenever there is a conflict, hold her accountable.

On the way here, she had already positioned herself. She was just a handyman. She just kept her head down and worked. She asked less, talked less, and pried less.

Listening to Mrs. Deng's inner thoughts, Bai Yunxi raised her eyebrows. It had to be said that Zhang Yiren was really good at training people.

When she had the chance, she would like to give the Zhang family some advice on how to control people.

After all, he is a native and knows how to train people. As an outsider, she couldn't always be unconventional. It would be easy for others to regard her as an alien.

Seeing them busy at work, Wenyou had already rinsed and washed the small flower bowls she had prepared, put them in piles in wooden buckets, and soaked them in ice water.

Baiyunxi watched them busy, turned around and came out, watching the sun rise slowly. After the temperature came up, Xiaosi ran over with a big basket on his back.

"Mom, I found the Ruo leaves and picked a big basket, enough for today."

Bai Yunxi looked at the Ruo leaves in the basket and nodded, "It's very well done. Send it in and wash it. I'll teach you how to fold it into a small bowl later. The ice bowl filled with Ruo leaves can be taken away by the guests."

The small flower bowls cost two cents each. If the guests take them away, it will only increase the cost of the ice bowls.

She also suddenly remembered the zong leaves, so she asked Xiaosi to find out where the zong leaves grew and pick some back. Not only could the guests take away and eat them, but the color would also be nice.

"Mom, I also discovered that there are reeds by the river outside the city. They grow well, but they are not as wide as the leaves of Ruo. I picked a few pieces. Can you try to fold them into a bowl later?"

Baiyunxi looked at the dozen or so reed leaves in the basket,

"Let's wash them together. The reed leaves are long and slender. Although they cannot be folded into a bowl, they can be folded into a small boat, which can still hold things."

"Hey~, I knew there was nothing that mother couldn't handle." Xiao Si smiled and flattered her, then turned around and went into the shop to wash the leaves.

"Oh, you must be Shiro-kun of the Bai family. I can do this kind of work."

While talking, Mrs. Deng had already taken over the task of cleaning the leaves.

"Are you Aunt Deng? I remember you. There is no need to be so polite between us. We don't have so many rules in the countryside, and we usually have to work at home."

Xiaosi smiled softly, picked up the bucket and poured it into the big basin, "The bucket is heavy and Aunt Deng can't carry it. Let's clear the leaves together."

"Oh, my God, you are indeed a scholar's mother. You have raised your son so well. My eyes are opened today, old lady."

Mrs. Deng was amazed as she watched Xiaosi throw the salt into the basin, roll up his sleeves and start working. Now she finally realized why the master valued the Bai family. Look, they are so popular.

From the moment she walked in until now, she never felt underestimated. It can only explain one thing, the Bai family has good tutors and good character.

"Aunt Deng can just call me Xiaosi. My mother usually calls me that." While cleaning the leaves, Xiaosi reminded him with a smile.

"I don't dare to offend you, old lady. I'd better call you Shiro-kun, right?"

Their master's favorite pupil is the young man's brother, and he may not be sure where he will be in the future, but she doesn't dare to be careless.

When Bai Yunxi came in, he saw the two of them working together, talking and laughing.

She picked up four Ruo leaves, folded two of them together in the palm of her hand, folded them in half at one third, then connected them with the other two Ruo leaves, and folded them in half again.

The four Ruo leaves were twisted and folded a few times in Bai Yunxi's hands. After a while, a small square bowl appeared.

"Okay, it's green, beautiful, and cost-effective."

Xiao Si watched the Ruo leaf turn into a small square bowl in her mother's hands for a moment, her eyes widened.

"Mom, you are so amazing. Does this really prevent leakage?"

"Of course, I used a double layer of Ruo leaves folded in half at the bottom to ensure that there is no leakage after a cup of smoothie."

Of course, after all, it is an environmentally friendly bowl with folded leaves, and it is enough to last for an hour.

"Mom, leave it to me, I'll be responsible for folding the bowl." Xiao Si looked at the novelty, picked up the Ruo leaves and looked at my mother.

"I'll learn from you, too. I can help you after I learn it." Mrs. Deng looked at the folded square bowls and was surprised. She also picked up the bamboo leaves.

They often saw bamboo leaves and ate rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival, but they never thought that they could be used as bowls.

Seeing that the two were serious, Bai Yunxi was not stingy and started to make bamboo leaves step by step.

"When folding the corners, fold more bamboo leaves to prevent water leakage. Of course, be gentle and don't crack them. The four corners are the same..."

Xiao Si and Mrs. Deng followed Bai Yunxi to make two. After finding the feel, they became more and more comfortable. Especially Mrs. Deng, who was used to doing handwork on weekdays, became faster than Bai Yunxi and her son after she became skilled.

A large basin of bamboo leaves was gone in the blink of an eye, and the folded bamboo leaf bowls were stacked in the basket.

Just as they were busy, a chuckle came from the door, "Seeing you working so hard, I seem too lazy."

Zhang Yiren appeared at the door with her daughter, looked at the busy scene in front of her, and walked in.

Looking at the colorful balls and fruit puree on the counter, it was appetizing. When I touched the green square bowls in their hands, I couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

"Yunxi, just seeing how hard you work, our ice bowl will definitely sell well."
