Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1323 Famine and Natural Disaster 482

"Where is the teacher?" I turned around but didn't see the teacher.

Zhou Ting smiled fondly, "Teacher is tired, let's go to Zui Xiang Lou to rest."

Mingyi: It’s over. We were having so much fun that we didn’t even notice the teacher left.

"It's okay. The teacher understands that it's rare for you to come out and play, so he deliberately didn't call you and disturb your interest."

"Call me next time. The teacher understands and cares about me. I can't be ignorant." I can't be an ungrateful person.

The teacher was well-mannered, well-educated, and had excellent moral character. His love for her was initially out of love for her and her whole family; later, his sincerity returned to his, he truly loved her, and she also truly respected him.

"Okay." All her requests were met.

Mingyi turned around contentedly and continued to be a street scoundrel.

After eating, drinking, playing and having fun, the sky gradually darkened; the streets were lit up with cheers and excitement, and a long praying team walked slowly and orderly in the middle of the street. Wherever they passed by, the people consciously gave way.

"It's so high!" She stood on the side of the road, with guards behind and on her sides, looking up at this unknown praying team.

"That's stilt walking. The one dancing the blessing dance on the drum is the goddess, and the boys and girls are sitting on the shorter drums at the back. The one in the front is the dragon and lion dance. It is said that there is a blessing ceremony every year, asking for good health and good fortune in the coming year, and for the gods to protect the area and bring peace." Zhou Ting stood beside her. It was the second time he had seen this scene.

Mingyi stared at the dancers who were dancing and laughing. They were all young girls with graceful figures. They wore very thin clothes in such weather in order to show their most perfect side.

"Is it only available in Fucheng?" I didn't see it in Fucheng last year.

"There are other places too, but only Fucheng in the northwest has it." What Zhou Ting didn't finish saying was that Fucheng is located on the border and there have been wars every year; the main reason why the people hold such activities is to seek peace of mind.

Her pretty face was smiling, her eyes were full of interest, and her mind was still working fast, "The people must have a way to find peace of mind."

"Yes." He was not opposed to such ceremonies and activities. Sometimes praying to gods and Buddhas was not for gaining anything, but for peace of mind. "Let's go somewhere else to have fun. There are lantern riddle guessing and juggling performances ahead."

"Then go."

She didn't even bother watching the graceful girl dancing, and happily followed Zhou Ting to watch the circus.

Put your hands into the oil pan.

Tightrope walking.

Dancing beast.

Playing big bird.

Five cases.

Seven plates.

Ichthyosaurs, manyans, and so on.

Mingyi was so absorbed in watching that she was overwhelmed.

"That tightrope walker must have some kung fu skills, no wonder he walks so easily." Mingyi pointed at a juggler wearing a cotton jacket on the stage, "I was wondering, I've only heard of tightrope walking in juggling before, and I was wondering how they could walk on a rope; now it turns out that's how it is, what's there to be afraid of if they have kung fu skills?"

Zhou Ting couldn't help laughing, "These wandering people all have some basic skills; otherwise, their difficult moves would easily hurt themselves."

"I used to hear the older generation in the village say there are many fun things outside, one of which is acrobatics. Later, I fled from famine and almost forgot about it. Seeing these fun things during the New Year this year is worth it." "If you want to see it, we can see it every year. Next year, if we are still in Fucheng, we will watch it in Fucheng. If we return to the capital, I will invite some wandering people to perform and make the city lively."

Mingyi nodded repeatedly. It was just right. She could spend the money she had conquered from the two countries as much as she wanted. After spending it all, her business would be back on track.

Two workshops are too few.

The problem is that Fucheng is the nearest city to the grassland, and it is very convenient to purchase wool and various leathers; a glass workshop can be opened in the same place, with fine glass sold at a high price, top-grade glass sold at a slightly lower price, mid-grade glass sold to merchants, and low-grade glass given to the people to play with, all at a low price.

"After the spring, we will open more colored glaze workshops in other towns in the northwest to expand our business and make more money."

"Didn't you say in your letter that too much colored glass is worthless, and that if we produce too much it can be sold at a good price?" Zhou Ting lowered his head to look at the little girl who was only a little below his chest.

Ming Yi pouted, "That's because things are rare and valuable. But we obviously have the recipe and the production method. It's a big loss to sell only a few or dozens of pieces at such a high price. I thought of dividing it into four grades. The fine and top-grade ones will be sold to the dignitaries and foreigners who have a hankering for colored glaze. The mid-grade ones will be given to merchants, who can sell them on their own. The low-grade ones can be made into cups, bowls, teacups, hand-held toys, etc., so we can make a lot of money anyway."

The rich and powerful get the finest products and look down on the inferior ones, so there is no dispute; the mid-quality products are sold to merchants, who resell them and generate another source of income; the inferior products are given to the common people mainly for practical purposes, and of course, some interesting gadgets will also be made.

Zhou Ting nodded slightly, without commenting, "If you think it's good, just do it. Who knows, in the future, our people may all have a piece of glass."

"It's worth looking forward to." Mingyi took the time to turn around and give him a look of praise.

A piece of glass in everyone's hands means the improvement of the national economic situation.

"work together."

A partner who shares the same ideals and keeps moving forward together is the most comfortable; if you have the same goals, the same thoughts, and the same abilities, then you are truly a perfect match.

Zhou Ting secretly thought that they were a perfect match.

After watching enough of the acrobatics, they walked, stopping, until they reached Zui Xiang Lou.

The outside of Zui Xiang Lou is hung with lanterns of various colors, and there are flowers, trees, birds and animals.

"Is there anything you want?" Zhou Ting asked her when he saw her staring at the lantern.

Mingyi shook her head. "The revolving lanterns are pretty nice, but we can't buy lanterns from Zui Xiang Lou, right? They seem to be guessing lantern riddles."

"You can give it a try." She didn't say she wanted to, but he knew she was willing to join in the fun; this realization was enough for him to make the trip.

"Forget it, it's not necessary." Mingyi stopped him in time and touched her stomach, "I wonder if Zui Xiang Lou has any delicious food."

Zhou Ting didn't know how to answer the question, as he had never been to Zui Xiang Lou.

However, the captain of the guards beside them saw Zhou Ting's embarrassment and took the initiative to step forward, "Master, young lady, Zui Xiang Lou is most famous for its Nv'erhong, Meihuazui, Taohuazui, and Qiongjiangyulu; the most famous dishes are donkey meat, Buddha jumps over the wall, white-cut chicken, lion head, and squirrel mandarin fish. I have eaten all of these dishes and they are indeed excellent."

"Really?"

The captain of the guards was shy when he saw Cheng Mingyi's excited eyes, "To answer your question, it's true. The salary we have is not enough, and we all come together. We share the money, so we can come two or three times a month. We have also eaten these delicious dishes once or twice."

"Why don't you take me with you when you come out to play?" he said casually.

Zhou Ting didn't quite understand what he heard and felt depressed. After all, he had not done enough. He was too busy with military affairs and went on expeditions frequently, so he hadn't been able to take her out for fun.
