Quan Yutianxia GL

This is a two-entry courtyard with white walls and blue tiles, high eaves and wide houses. In this remote small town of Penglai, it is extremely magnificent, and what is even more magnificent is the black lacquered gold plaque hanging above the courtyard door. ——Baifu.

At this moment, the famous gate of the Bai Mansion was wide open, and two young servants in green robes guarding the gate stood up and greeted shopkeeper Huo respectfully.

Although shopkeeper Huo is past his age, his body is still extremely healthy. He quickly walked through the vestibule, bypassed the corridor, and then went straight into the study of the White Mansion.

Every three months is the busiest day of this Penglai Baifu courtyard. All the manors, store managers and accountants belonging to this courtyard will come to meet the master of Baifu with their account books. The head of the family, that is, the nine girls of the White Mansion—Bai Su, reported to her the accounts and other affairs of this March.

In the study room, all the housekeepers gathered together. In the whole room, apart from the voices who were reporting, there was only the sound of Bai Dabao quickly pulling the counting chips.She listened to the reports of the stewards in her ears, looked at the account books with her eyes, swiped the pen with her right hand, and quickly picked up the calculations with her left hand, and occasionally asked some questions or decisions to the stewards in front of her. With the method of multi-purpose, Bai DaDangjia has practiced to the perfect state, flowing like clouds and flowing water, without the slightest mistakes or pauses.

Shopkeeper Huo seldom comes here. Even Bai Dadao, he only saw him twice from a distance, let alone on such an important day, his immediate boss, the manager in charge of the entire Penglai affairs, was also there. Here, and he is here to visit by leapfrogging, if the thing in his arms can't really attract the attention of the big master, in the days to come, whether he can continue to eat this bowl of rice from the Bai family is unknown.

Thinking of this, shopkeeper Huo unconsciously stopped at the door of the study, touched the small wooden box in his arms, and secretly cheered himself up. He felt that as long as Master Bai took a look, he would be able to understand the shocking situation behind this little thing. Benefits, and myself, and it is possible to take this opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step, even if it is promoted to a manager, it is not impossible.

Shopkeeper Huo thought so in his heart, and the four beautiful maids guarding both sides of the door immediately stepped forward, skillfully arranged his clothes meticulously, brought warm water and wet wipes, and let shopkeeper Huo wash his face and hair. Just now, he pushed open the door of the study and led him inside.

In the past, it was rarely disturbed by people at this time, but at this moment the door opened suddenly, causing everyone in the study to look at this side, including the slightly frowning Master Bai.

Even though shopkeeper Huo had already summoned up his courage in his heart, when he felt the cold eyes of the young woman in white sitting behind the desk brushing past him, he immediately felt nervous, so nervous that he couldn't use it. Out of the corner of his eye, he peeked at the little tricks of the female master and didn't dare to do it.

At this moment, Du Daguan, who has always been quite prestigious in the mansion, opened his mouth and introduced to the Bai Dabao: "Da Dabao, this is the shopkeeper Huo from the Penglai silk shop, and he said that he has something important to report. I have to see you in person to tell."

Hearing this, shopkeeper Huo secretly heaved a sigh of relief. While thinking that the gifts he gave out in the past were not in vain, he didn't dare to delay any more. He immediately stepped forward to compose, and then took out a small wooden box , Respectfully said: "The villain Huo Yu has seen the boss. The reason why the villain came here boldly is because he found someone buying and selling new things in the city these few days. The villain was curious, so he went to make fun of it. I found out that the man bragged about this thing so miraculously. The villain has short-sightedness. Although he doesn't understand the inside story, he still thinks this thing is quite miraculous..."

Shopkeeper Huo said, and opened the wooden box, and saw that there was only a small brush about one finger wide and two fingers longer, everyone was puzzled at first, and then half angry, thinking that shopkeeper Huo was really old. After coming back to life, he actually took such ordinary things to show his eyes.Anyone can see that this brush is made by drilling a few small holes on the top of the wooden bar, and then threading the usual pig bristles with thin threads.

This kind of brush can be seen everywhere, and if it is bigger, it can be used to brush horses and wash clothes. Apart from being smaller, what is so magical about it?

Someone even laughed and said: "Master Huo, I have seen your things before. Aren't you a little girl selling them in the city these days? They even boasted that they have been using this little brush to clean their teeth for a long time. Not only can it make people's mouth smell good, but it can also make people avoid tooth decay and dental disease... Don't you believe it? You even brought it here to meet the head of the family..."

"It's absolutely ridiculous!" Before shopkeeper Huo could say anything, Guanshi Liu said angrily when he went up to the peak: "This is made of pig bristles. As we all know, pig pigs are extremely dirty, and their hair is even worse. How can they get in the mouth? Possibly eloquent?"

Being reprimanded by Guanshi Liu, shopkeeper Huo couldn't help being a little panicked, but he still argued: "The man said that this thing is a magic trick bestowed by the gods in a dream. Tooth disease!"

Even in the world before Chuning, there were many people who lived in their teeth, not to mention the current era of extremely poor sanitation, although people have already figured out ways to use willow branches and green salt to clean their teeth. Oral teeth, but there are still many people who suffer from tooth decay, and even a few people die from dental diseases.

Therefore, when shopkeeper Huo said so, although everyone present did not fully believe in the theory of immortals entering a dream, some people with quick minds had already seen business opportunities from it, and immediately understood why shopkeeper Huo dared to risk the anger of the "cold face" "Yan Luo" risk, to express it face to face.Some people even regretted it to the extreme, hating themselves for taking this as normal and allowing Huo Yu, an old man, to snatch a chance.

After shopkeeper Huo finished speaking, he heard the shopkeepers and deacons around him discussing in low voices. The cold-faced woman sitting at the top thought for a moment, and the maid beside her had already stepped forward, took the small brush from shopkeeper Huo's hand, and exited the study After about half a cup of tea, she whispered something to Master Bai when she came back, she must have tried it herself.

Master Bai listened, pushed away the account book in front of him, and said to the people in charge: "Let's stop here for today, everyone will come back tomorrow. As for the tooth... the toothbrush, I will personally ask the master. You just need to wait." Keep your lips tight."

After finishing speaking, all the stewards, deacons and accountants left one after another. Shopkeeper Huo followed behind everyone and was about to leave, but he heard the head called him, and asked people to prepare two soft sedan chairs, and wanted to go with him to meet Meet the man who sells toothbrushes.

Hearing this, shopkeeper Huo was overjoyed and thanked him again and again. This is an honor that even Bai Dadao's confidant eighteen deacons have never had, and now it has fallen on him.

Shopkeeper Huo quickly suppressed the joy in his heart, carefully sat on the snow-white soft sedan chair, and followed Master Bai to Dongshi. From a distance, he saw dozens of people lined up in front of a huge wooden table. Team.

Behind the big table, sat a little girl about eleven or twelve years old, holding two thin books and writing something non-stop. With each stroke she made, the boy standing on the left side of the big table closed his eyes. The next copper coin was counted, and the boy on the right handed out a small wooden box.

Just when everything was moving in an orderly manner, a young man dressed in bunts and a cloth scarf on his shoulders suddenly ran out from the back of the team.Holding a large pile of copper coins in his hand, the man hurried forward, put the copper coins on the table, panted and said, "Quick! Give me one quickly! No! Five! My family There is a young master in the inn who is anxiously waiting for this item..."

"Even if you are waiting, there is a first come, first served."

The boy who counted the copper coins was He Wu. He returned all the copper coins on the table to the waiter, pointed to the position behind the line, and said, "Go there first and line up."

"But that young master is very anxious. They are merchants from other places, and they are just waiting to buy this item and then go on the road..."

"Wang Er, is it just the customers in your Bai's shop who are in a hurry?" Before the little second finished speaking, a short old man who was queuing up said: "The customers in my Xiao's shop are also in urgent need of this item, and She is a lady from the official family, but I am also queuing up here, little old man, why are you so anxious?"

The little old man hadn't finished his sentence, but everyone around him expressed their approval, and the king blushed so much that he had to go to the back of the line to take a seat.

At this time, a burly middle-aged man with a sword hanging over his body passed by here. Seeing a long line of people waiting to buy things, he couldn't help showing curiosity, and asked at the table: "Two brothers, You sell very good things here? Why are so many people waiting to buy them?"

"The thing in this box is called a 'toothbrush'. It is a divine thing taught to my master in a dream by a fairy. As long as you use this thing to clean your teeth, it will not only make your mouth smell good, but also prevent people from getting toothworms. Don’t suffer from dental disease.” He Wu finished his eloquent answer, then smiled and said:

"I think my elder brother is handsome and talented. He must be a rich man. Why don't you buy a few? Not only can this toothbrush be used by yourself, but it can also be given to parents, relatives and friends, whether male or female, young or old. It costs only ten copper coins. Small things, but can send a big heart of health and longevity, absolutely worth it!"

Hearing what the little brother said, the big man immediately went to line up with a smile on his face, and some people around who were still waiting and watching were also quite excited at the moment, and followed the line one after another.

All these scenes fell into the eyes of Shopkeeper Huo and Master Bai, but from Shopkeeper Huo's point of view, they really thought it was a wonderful item, which is why everyone rushed to buy it.But in the eyes of Master Bai, he saw another meaning.

"Go to 'Zheliu Inn'."

A clear and cold voice suddenly sounded, and the two soft sedan chairs immediately turned to go to the West Market.

This inn is not big, just a small courtyard with blue tiles and two entrances, but for a small seaside town like Penglai, it is quite an elegant place, as long as you can get in and spend some copper coins, you can Order a few small dishes and a pot of good wine, and listen to the storyteller tell some interesting stories while eating and drinking in the lobby.

Although Bai Su's arrival attracted many people's attention, she had already put on the veiled hat before getting out of the sedan chair, and was quickly welcomed into the inner room by the shopkeeper, so it did not cause a stir.

Through the gauze window pavilion inside, Bai Su had a panoramic view of the situation in the lobby, glanced slightly, and then set his eyes on a guest seat facing the street.

The seats were not big, and the two sat opposite each other. One of them was a man over the age. He was wearing a straight skirt and a half-arm shirt, and his long hair was neatly tied on top of his head with a wooden hairpin. He looked elegant at first glance. , whether it is temperament or imposing manner, are quite extraordinary.

However, it was the young woman opposite him that attracted Bai Su's attention even more.

This woman is about twenty-eight years old, wearing an ordinary black cross-collar dress, with a wide belt around her waist, and her three thousand long hair hangs behind her head with a silk sash. Although her cheeks are thin and a bit small, she While Yang Mei was chatting and laughing, her starry eyes flowed and she was full of heroism, and she was also quite elegant.

At this moment, with a slight smile on her face, she was listening intently, when the storyteller was saying: "Thinking that the Ning family is also the family of the rich, even though both parents and elders died in the riots more than ten years ago, the land left behind , It is enough for two young ladies to earn a living, and after many years of accumulation, there is quite a surplus."

"But how would you know that the younger sister of the Ning family was suffering from dental disease when she was about to get married. Not only did her mouth stink, but she also suffered from pain day and night. The pain caused her to shed tears and even her family's wealth. Please I had a few doctors, but they were all helpless, the truth is that their lives are in danger..."

When it came to the most tense part, the storyteller stopped, put a wooden tray in front of his desk, put all the laughter and curses around him behind his ears, smiled and said nothing.

The woman was obviously excited when she heard it, and immediately took out a few copper coins and put them in the storyteller's wooden tray, and asked with a smile: "What happened later? Did Miss Ning Er get her tooth disease cured? She also saved her life danger?"

Not only the girl, but everyone around was also engrossed in listening to the storyteller. Seeing that the storyteller stopped abruptly, they laughed and cursed and took out one or two copper coins and threw them on the storyteller's wooden tray.

Seeing that the money was almost collected, the storyteller continued: "The elder sister of the Ning family is a loyal one, seeing that her family's wealth was scattered and she couldn't cure her sister's tooth disease, in desperation, she went to the Donglai Mountain Temple to seek immortality. "

"The gods are all in the sky, how can it be so easy to see the suffering in the world?"

"So, sister Ning knelt in front of the statue in the temple, knelt for seven days and seven nights, and kowtowed on her head for seven days and seven nights."

"Ning's elder sister knelt down and broke her head. The blood flowed all over the floor, and finally touched the god in the sky. So, the god sneaked into her sister's dream and taught her how to make a toothbrush out of pig bristles. Craftsmanship, and passed down the magic of cleaning the bristles of bristles but stinks."

Hearing this, the well-dressed woman pursed her lips and smiled, and was about to leave with the middle-aged man opposite, but when she got up, someone blocked her way.

"Miss Ning, do you have some free time?" The person blocking the way was shopkeeper Huo. He quietly winked at Chuning, and then said:

"My boss is here. I want to invite the girl to have a talk. Is it convenient?"

Chuning blinked knowingly, and said, "Who is your boss? Why did you invite me so rashly? Is there a famous post?"

Shopkeeper Huo held up the name card with both hands. Chuning glanced at it casually, and saw that it read "Bai Su, Patriarch of the Bai Family in Donglai County" and other words, and handed it to Huo Yunshu casually, and followed Shopkeeper Huo into the inner room of the inn.

"In Xiachuning, I have seen Mr. Bai."

Just now when she entered the door, she saw a cold-eyed woman in white sitting at the head seat. Chuning greeted her with cupped fists. She didn't have a name card yet, and even if there was a name card, she didn't know what identity to write on it. It is impossible to write directly: Chuning, the second head of Zizhu Village in Donglai Mountain...

After introducing her name, Chuning thought about the next words in her mind. This was the first time she had a business deal with an ancient person. She wondered if the other party would be able to understand her as usual.

Just as she was thinking about it, Bai Su also bowed her hands and invited her to take a seat, and then said: "Today, Bai has some important things to do, so I only have a moment to spare, please be straightforward, girl."

Unexpectedly, Bai Su even omitted the opening words, Chuning was slightly surprised, then pursed his lips and smiled, thinking to himself: It seems that her rumored name of 'Cold Faced Yama' is really worthy of her name, If she replaces the wide robe and wide sleeves with a suit and shirt, and then steps on Hentian Gao, she will be a domineering and ruthless president in real life.

Moreover, she is also the one with a pure Yujie voice, she is simply the absolute heroine in Jinjiang Baihewen, not one of them!

"Since Mr. Bai is so forthright, then Chu is also welcome."

Chu Ning sat down, took a wooden box from Huo Yunshu, opened it, took out a small paper booklet, and began to introduce his products, saying: "Chu has suffered from tooth disease since childhood, and has exhausted his family's wealth. , long-term cure, my sister...'

Just when Chu Ning was talking eloquently, trying to finish the story of the sisters who were deeply in love, moved by the gods, and dreamed of teaching art, but unexpectedly, Bai Su only heard her tell the beginning, then frowned, and clasped her fingertips. Button the table.

Seeing Bai Su's actions, the maid beside her quickly took out a thin booklet, and read slowly: "The girl's surname is Chu, her single name is the word 'Ning', she is twenty-eight years old, and her real identity is Donglai Mountain. The second head of the Zizhu Village, you have a sister, she did go to the mountain temple to worship the gods recently, but it was not because of your tooth disease, but because you fought with the people of Qinglong Village a month ago , was injured in the head, and almost died in Huangquan..."

Bai Su glanced at Chu Ning indifferently, and said, "Please tell the truth."

"..." Chu Ning smiled awkwardly. She didn't expect her secret identity to be known by others. Fortunately, she didn't grow up in this era, and her skin is thick enough. Without going around the bush, he said directly: "As the Bai family has seen and heard, although a certain person has acquired the craftsmanship of making this 'toothbrush', due to his limited status, he wants to cooperate with the Bai family."

"How does Miss Ning want to cooperate?"

"My Purple Bamboo Village is in charge of making it, and Bai Dang's shop is in charge of selling it."

"Absolutely not." Upon hearing this, Bai Su didn't even ask about the distribution method of the benefits, and directly refused: "Bai has seen the toothbrush you made before, and the wooden handle and bristles are all ordinary things. It was hyped up by you, but within three months, it will definitely be imitated, so why should I cooperate with Zizhuzhai again?"

Chu Ning knew that what she said was the truth, so he asked straight to the point: "From the point of view of Mr. Bai, what should we do?"

"Yi Bai wants to come and buy the method of making your toothbrush for fifty copper coins." Bai Su offered the price without any delay.

"Bai Bo's price is so ruthless, presumably he has no intention of engaging in this business." Chuning smiled and said, "Chu's base price is five hundred guan in cash, or rice grain of the same value."

"Miss Ning, you are a sensible person. The matter of making brushes is actually very simple, and Bai also knows that what you want to sell is actually the skills of deodorizing, deodorizing and antisepsis, but these skills will be spread sooner or later, even if they are not. If it is spread, there is no guarantee that it will not be discovered by others." Bai Su said seriously: "Five hundred guan is too much, if you teach ten craftsmen for Bai, [-] guan is a very suitable price."

"Although Baiguan sounds good, the Bai family should also know that we have only been in Penglai for three days. In this short period of three days, there are more than [-] people in Penglai City, and almost half of the people have bought them. Except for the capital In addition to labor costs, the net profit of Wuguanqian is inevitable." Chuning said: "This is only a small remote town like Penglai, and the profits of counties with a population of [-] people like Huang County and Ye County can be imagined. What's more, there are prefectures and counties outside the county seat...if everyone in the world uses this toothbrush, the profit from it, has Mr. Bai ever thought about it?"

In this era, one thousand copper coins is always enough to buy more than two shi of grain. Converted into the weight unit of the world before Chuning, it is almost 240 catties of grain. The custom of eating meals is enough to meet the needs of a family of four for a whole month.

"So, if Master Bai insists on lowering the price, Chu will have to doubt the sincerity of the master." Chuning said sternly, "If the sincerity of the master is not enough, I think that the Duan family, who are also one of the three major merchants in Donglai County, and The Xiao family should be more sincere."

Although the Duan family and the Xiao family are ranked among the top three big merchants in Donglai County with the Bai family, the Bai family has only grown in the hands of Bai Su in the past few years. Damn, if Chuning sells this technology to them, the impact on the Bai family will be more than 01:30.

Therefore, Bai Su had to carefully consider Chuning's price, looked at Chuning, and said calmly, "Bai is very sincere."

"Since my eyesight is clumsy, I haven't been able to see the sincerity of Master Bai."

After Chu Ning finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave, but Bai Su said again: "For the toothbrush, we can only bid up to three hundred guan, but if Miss Chu is willing, we can talk about another matter , if it is suitable, Bai can offer a high price."

Chu Ning was slightly taken aback. After thinking about it, he didn't expect that he had anything else to trade with the Bai family. He immediately asked in puzzlement, "In that case, please show me the Bai family. I would like to hear more about it."

"Bai is willing to hire Miss Ning as the chief deacon of the White House in the name of the head of the White House. She has higher responsibilities than the eighteen deacons. Only under the head of the house, she can manage all the business affairs of the subordinates of the White House." Bai Su thought about it. Thinking about it, he said again: "The monthly fee is one hundred guan. If Miss Ning feels that it is not satisfactory, we can talk about it again."

"..."

Chu Ning only felt her heart beating wildly. She never expected that the other business that Bai Su mentioned would actually ask her to work part-time. If she knew that a hundred guan is so easy to earn, why would she bother with toothbrushes or start a business? Just ran to find this Bai Su, wouldn't it be enough to be a professional manager?

In fact, if you really want to leave Zizhuzhai, this is a great opportunity. Although it is quite tempting, but Chuning thinks about it, she is very clear that she is now a bandit, and even entering the city will be sneaky and rash She ran off to work for a boss who didn't understand at all... If the boss really just squeezed her labor, it would be fine. I was afraid that the boss would cheat her head to receive the reward, but she still foolishly counted the money.

On the way here, Chuning has already considered it very clearly. For her who is now powerless, Zizhuzhai is actually a very good place. With Chu Rou and the others protecting her, at least she will not be killed for the time being. Worry, even if there are hundreds of people on the mountain, old and young, relying on her to support them, but this is nothing.

Bai Su had been secretly watching Chuning's expression, and seeing that she was struggling and hesitating, she said, "Ms. Ruoning is only worried about her identity, and Bai can help you out."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning immediately hit the snake with a stick and asked, "If there are hundreds of people's identities, can Master Bai also solve the problem?"

"Also." Bai Su's voice paused slightly, as if he was really thinking about it, and then he said: "You can vote for my Baifu as a refugee first, and Bai will create a residence for them as a trilogy. Let it go later."

"Bai Dang's business methods are really powerful! It really deserves its reputation! Although a certain talent is useless, I can only thank Bai Da Dang for his kindness." Chu Ning directly declined Bai Su's solicitation, completely ignoring Huo Yunshu's offer Looking sideways and shocked, he only smiled and said: "However, regarding the toothbrush, let's just follow what Master Bai said."

"That's okay..."

Bai Su also stood up, and explained a few words to shopkeeper Huo, saying that he asked him to turn around and hand over the affairs of the silk shop, and then he would be responsible for assisting the toothbrush, and asked the shopkeeper of the inn to give the money to Chuning, and then went to Taking the handbook on making toothbrushes that Chuning had written long ago, and leaving the inn in a hurry, it was obvious that there were other important matters, not an excuse.
