After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

"This must be Miss Xie!" The eldest brother is worthy of being the eldest brother, he is always steady.

While the four siblings were playing, they were afraid of neglecting Xie Shuer, so they took the initiative to direct the topic to Xie Shuer, giving Xie Shuer a chance to join in.

Xie Shuer came forward to greet him: "Greetings, three brothers."

The three brothers also sincerely accepted Xie Shuer. They did not treat her as a servant just because she sold herself to the Bai family. All three of them just felt that they had gained a younger sister.

From now on, there will be one more family member and one more person who needs protection.

Bai Qingyun interrupted his studies for many days, and started again from today, with Xie Shuer joining him.

During this expansion, Grandpa Bai specially built a study room closer to the three brothers.

The study rooms of wealthy families are mostly used to store books, but the most common thing in the study room built by Grandpa Bai is desks.

Due to the limitations of the current foundation, it is impossible to build three study rooms, so we have to use screens to separate three independent spaces in a large room.

A large desk and floor-standing bookshelf were custom-made in each space to facilitate the three brothers' daily study and storage of their school supplies.

According to Bai Qingyun's request, the desk was not customized as the currently popular low table. Instead, the height of the table was designed according to the height of the human body, freeing up the legs and changing the current cross-legged sitting position to the current chair, which was then matched with cushions and backrests made by Bai's mother.

Thanks to Bai Qingyun's changes, sitting and studying for a long time is no longer a difficult task.

Knowing that Bai Qingyun and Xie Shuer would also go to study at night, two desks were specially placed in the study. With five desks together, it looked like a primary school.

The sound of reading can be heard in the evening, and it is pleasant to the ears. Adults are sitting in the yard, doing some chores, and listening to the sound of reading is also a kind of enjoyment!

The next morning, Bai Qingyun and his father rushed to the town, bringing with them the autumn pear paste they had made yesterday.

Father Bai specially kept three bottles and asked the three brothers to give them to the teacher. It is said that now that the weather has turned cold, the teacher often coughs while teaching, so sending some autumn pear paste is just what the teacher needs.

There is no need to save them specifically for the elderly people in the family. Grandpa Bai will start purchasing pears from the village today. There are still many unripe pears on the pear trees in the yard of his home.

Everyone at home today will make new autumn pear paste.

Bai Qingyun specifically told Grandma Bai the recipe yesterday. With Grandma Bai at home in charge, I think that should be enough.

Father Bai and his daughter Bai Qingyun only need to find a way to sell the autumn pear paste successfully!

On the way to the town, Bai Qingyun asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time: "Dad, the potatoes in my space have all grown successfully. The question now is, how can I take them out openly?"

Father Bai thought for a moment and said, "In the past, old hunters would always encounter all kinds of strange things when they went hunting in the mountains. If these potatoes were found in the mountains, it would not be difficult to explain!"

"In the mountains?"

"Oh, right, there is a cave where we found the sugarcane. What if we put potatoes in the cave and then lead the villagers to find it themselves?"

"Yes, didn't we dig a lot of small holes when we were cutting sugarcane? We can bury some in there!"

The decision was finalized in just a few words, but the specific implementation would have to wait until after returning from the town.

When the ox cart arrived at the backyard of Hongyun Tower, Bai's father and Bai Qingyun saw Shopkeeper Xu, whom they had not seen for a long time.

In the past, when fish were delivered, Father Bai or Grandpa Bai would take the fish to the backyard and hand it over to the waiter, who would weigh it and settle the payment every seven days.

After the business of Hongyunlou was good, Manager Xu was busy greeting customers in the front hall and seldom came to the backyard. Today, he knew that Bai's father was coming to deliver fish, so he sent someone to call him, thinking that it was something important.

"Hey, Brother Bai, long time no see!" Shopkeeper Xu did not start talking but exchanged greetings with Bai's father for a while.

Then he led everyone to the private room on the second floor.

The person sitting in the box was none other than Zhu Yu who came all the way from the county town!

Shopkeeper Xu said, "Brother Bai, to be honest, my young master wanted to discuss something with you today!"

Hongyun Tower is now the property of the county magistrate's wife. Zhu Yu is the wife's only son. In the future, all of Mrs. Zhu's property will naturally be handed over to Zhu Yu. Zhu Yu is also slowly getting involved in these businesses. This is one of the reasons why Zhu Yu was able to look after the grain store.

The people below knew Zhu Yu's identity and respectfully called him "Young Master".

Just as Shopkeeper Xu was about to introduce Zhu Yu's identity, Zhu Yu interrupted him and said, "No need, Miss Bai and I are old friends!"

After saying that, he saluted in the direction of the two people: "Uncle Bai, Miss Bai, it's been a long time since we last met in the county town!"

In fact, Bai Qingyun had only been back from the county town for a few days, and Zhu Yu's words were nothing more than politeness. Bai's father and Bai Qingyun were the kind of people who liked to be straightforward and didn't like beating around the bush.

"Mr. Zhu specially sent someone to bring us here. I wonder what the matter is?" Bai Qingyun sat down, eating the cakes specially prepared by Manager Xu, and asked directly.

Shopkeeper Xu acted as if he had never seen Bai Qingyun's directness. Zhu Yu was the son of the county magistrate, who was the top official in the local government and whom he could not afford to offend. Even though Shopkeeper Xu was much older than Zhu Yu, he still looked respectful when he saw Zhu Yu.

He was also afraid that Bai Qingyun would offend Zhu Yu, so just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhu Yu raise his folding fan. Seeing this, Shopkeeper Xu stopped talking.

"Miss Bai, do you still remember the many preserved eggs that Zhu bought from you before leaving Qujiang County?"

"Of course, Master Zhu's move solved the urgent problem. Could it be that Master Zhu came here for those preserved eggs?"

Zhu Yu smiled mysteriously: "Yes and no!"

He continued, "On the second day after I bought the preserved eggs, a major case occurred in the county. My father received a report that many people in the residential area in the south of Qujiang County were vomiting. Although no one was killed, the residents in the south lived in large numbers, and because there were many people vomiting and having diarrhea, many people thought that someone was poisoning the south city."

"Originally, this little thing would not have come to my father's attention, but since it involved poisoning, my father sent many doctors to the homes of those sick people to treat them. In the end, he concluded that the people were poisoned because they ate preserved eggs!"

If all the previous statements were just foreshadowing, then the last two words undoubtedly exploded in Bai Qingyun's mind!

But after all, he had experienced several lives, so Bai Qingyun quickly replied: "If it was because of the preserved egg, I'm afraid the one who came to see me today was not Mr. Zhu, but the official from the county magistrate's office!"

Then he seemed to think of something: "There are more than one store selling preserved eggs in Qujiang County. There are probably more than a dozen in South City alone!"

Ever since the century egg business became so popular, many people have started to learn how to make century eggs themselves. The cost of opening a century egg stall is not high. There are many residents in the south city, and century egg stalls are everywhere. If you count carefully, there are probably more than a dozen!
