delicious little cook

Chapter 1049 New Business Opening

After enduring the unbearable silence, there was a sudden burst of uncontrollable laughter, and the shop assistants and diners coming and going outside were startled by the big noise.

The people at the table, except for Gu Yun who was still sitting upright, the others had already laughed so hard that they had no image, they slid under the table, and several of them rolled all over the floor.

"Mingzhi, tell us the truth, can't you?"

"Yes, if you are sick, you should treat it as soon as possible. As a man, what if you can't do it?"

"Hey, what's written on the slogan hanging in the latrine of Bai Kou's house? To be a man, you can't be short, you can't be soft, and you have to add another one, it can't be done."

"Poor little brother, I'm not married yet, so I can't do it. What can I do in the future? If you are sick, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. There are many masters in andrology in the imperial physician. Go and see for peace of mind, or the young lady will find out the truth when she comes in. Shouting that you've been duped, it's really embarrassing."

"No, no, I believe it must be because I was too tired yesterday, so I just fell asleep when I got back to my room, otherwise, a good album will only make people fondle admiringly, it is impossible to hypnotize, everyone said Yes or no?"

"Well, it makes sense, but this is all guesswork. In order to confirm this guess, we need to use other methods to check and check."

A group of people laughed strangely and looked at Gu Yun together with malicious intent.

Gu Yun put his legs together tightly and stared at them nervously.

"What are you doing?!"

"How about taking you to a fun place to see the new world?"

"Don't go!"

"If you don't go, you have to go!"

"I'm fine! I'm not going! I'm just too tired, so I fell asleep!" Gu Yun vowed to defend his chastity to the death, and picked up chopsticks to eat, "I don't want to talk to you perverts."

"Why are you tired? She should be tired when Bai Kou was cooking yesterday. Where are you tired?"

"I... I didn't sleep all night!"

"Going to be a thief?"

"Read a book!"

"Make it up! Make it up again!"

"What did I make up? I just didn't sleep all night and was tired! So I fell asleep after lunch, and I couldn't do anything I wanted to do." Gu Yun was depressed every time he thought about what happened yesterday afternoon.

Gu Yun's words made the brothers slap the table and laugh wildly, it really made my stomach hurt from laughing.

"Are you guys still eating lunch? The food is getting cold!" Gu Yun blushed, and banged on the bowl with his chopsticks.

"Eat, eat! Come, come, let's eat, don't laugh at our poor little brother! We will sympathize with him when we are full, and then help him make suggestions and think of a way!"

"I can't believe you can come up with a good solution." Gu Yun snorted.

"Anyway, we have more experience than you! You don't have a say in this kind of thing, listen to us! I promise to let your sweet wife marry and go home, and live a life without shame or embarrassment."

"Bai Kou is not a charming lady raised in a deep boudoir. If you want to marry her, you have to fight wits first. Looking at what she said at the dinner table yesterday, you know that she is much more knowledgeable than the daughters of gold. Now she is the one who chooses a man." , It’s not you who picks a wife! Do you understand?”

"Understood!" Gu Yun nodded honestly, he understood this very well.

"Eat first, and then discuss countermeasures and tactics when you're full! We must help our little brother take down Bai Kou!"

The men quickly formed an alliance, ate lunch in a hurry, and made an appointment on the way back to the Hanlin Academy before looking for a place to talk in detail.

At the same time, Bai Kou was wandering around Xiafang in a carriage. In the morning, the yamen sent her a copy of the pictures of fish scales in Xiafang, and asked her to go to the yamen to complete the formalities after finding the land. The minister who never left his cigarette rod gave a box of matches for trial use. Now everyone in the officialdom knows that Mr. Bai wants new land to build a new factory, and they are all waiting for her matches to go on the market.

Since the imperial court supported it, Bai Kou naturally accepted it with a smile. She also used matches daily. Since she could buy red phosphorus in the market, there was no reason not to do this business.

The four-wheeled carriage is now a symbol of rich and noble families in the capital. Bai Kou picked out the ones she was interested in according to the fish scale picture and went in for a circle. Every time the carriage entered a square, it attracted people's attention. Bai Kou condescended through the window I even saw people with ulterior motives hiding in the crowd, but I held back and didn't do anything until I saw armed guards following the car.

People in Xiafang have a difficult life. Bai Kou, who has greedy eyes, has seen a lot of people in Xilefang. She doesn't care at all. When the factory is built and the residents have a stable income, everything will be better.

It took an afternoon for Bai Kou to go around all the lower workshops, and even made notes on the fish scale map, and then asked the coachman to drive her back to Xilefang, where she packed up and was ready to go home.

After two sticks of incense, the carriage drove out from the workshop, and when it was going well, it suddenly stopped suddenly. Bai Kou hit the edge of the table with her chest. She rubbed her chest and opened the curtains to look out. The guards were already negotiating. The middle-aged man who looked like a man waved his hand outside the car window, as if he had something to say.

Because it was in Xilefang, Bai Kou was very worried about the security here, so she opened the car door, and the guard carried the middle-aged man outside the car door to talk.

"What did you want to say when you stopped my car?"

"Mr. Bai, I am a cloth merchant in Lugan County. My name is He Xing. I came to the capital to purchase goods. However, my previous business had an accident, which prevented me from delivering goods, and I had to rush back to the county. To supply the next family, I heard that Boss Bai is ready to enter the textile industry, I wonder if you can supply me with a batch of gray cloth?"

"I haven't officially entered this industry yet, where did you hear the news?"

"It has spread in the circle. Many people are very optimistic about the towels you weave. Those veteran weaving experts have heard that they are also trying to get a towel loom."

"Well, this information is very timely. Well, let's hear about your business. It's just gray cloth. Can't Lugan County weave it by itself?"

"Lugan County is engaged in the dock transshipment business. There are not many weavers and dyeing workshops in the county. The textile industry in the capital is our main source of goods. I want [-] pieces of gray cloth this time, but the last warehouse that I have cooperated with for many years unexpectedly disappeared. The water burned down half of the warehouse, and my goods disappeared, and I was in a hurry to take the goods home. I really had no other choice, so I wanted to ask Mr. Bai if he could do this business."

"I sympathize with you and what happened to your family, but I can't help you if you ask me. I don't have any raw materials, and I can't make gray cloth for you."

"Boss Bai means that if there are raw materials, it's fine? Do you want cotton? Or yarn?" He Xing suddenly became excited, and his eyes shone with hope.

"Cotton is the best. The yarn is not spun by your own machine, and the yarn is easy to break on the loom."

"Good! Good! I'll look for cotton! Five hundred bolts of cotton should be found!"

"If you can find cotton, I will sign a contract with you to process the raw materials, and then you will wait for me in the capital for a few days, and I will give you [-] bolts of gray cloth."

"How many days?!" He Xing's eyes widened, "Five hundred pieces of gray cloth? How many days?! Boss Bai has so many weavers?"

"You look down on me so much, why stop my carriage, I'm not happy."

"Don't, don't! Mr. Bai, I'm joking, just kidding! As long as I can successfully complete this business, I will definitely recommend Mr. Bai's textile factory to my colleagues in the county! Definitely recommend it!"

"You just said that Lugan County is specialized in dock transshipment business?"

"That's right, the people of Lugan County mainly rely on the water to eat water, and rely on the docks to eat the docks. They don't have any other livelihoods."

"My textile factory needs a lot of lint and dyes, can you find new sources?"

"A lot?"

"A large amount, which is larger than those old weaving experts in the capital. You can see that I can give you [-] pieces of gray cloth in a few days. You should guess how strong my production capacity is. My textile factory is a Monsters that devour raw materials will eat as much as they have, and they will only find too little, not too much."

He Xing stretched his neck, swallowed his saliva, and nodded vigorously.

"Okay! No problem! After I deliver this business, I will find the source of raw materials for Mr. Bai!"

"Okay, I'll be waiting for your news at the factory these two days, and tell me when you get the cotton, I'll send someone to the farm, you eat, drink and have fun in the capital, live a comfortable life for a few days, put your heart in your stomach, it's okay, you You are the first merchant of my textile factory, and I will not let you down."

He Xing grinned, his eyes narrowed into slits when he smiled, thanked him repeatedly, left the address of the inn where he was staying now, said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Bai Kou closed the door of the car and ordered the driver to set off, happily calculating how many intangible benefits this business would bring.

If five hundred pieces of gray cloth are delivered within a few days, this is a free advertisement, and it is a door-to-door business. It is unfortunate that He Xing's previous warehouse caught fire, but it is really lucky for her. !
Back home, Bai Kou wrote a letter about He Xing, and sent it to Hua Qingyu through the big car dealership in the district early the next morning, asking him to check the background of He Xing. It is not a fire in the warehouse that makes the delivery impossible. It is also necessary to verify whether it is true.

Hua Qingyu's investigation quickly got a reply. What He Xing said was true. There was a circle of merchants in Lugan County in the capital. He Xing was not the only one, but he was the only one who was the quickest to find Bai Kou, and now he was looking for a source of lint everywhere.

After reading the letter, Bai Kou waited patiently for another three to five days, and there was a break in the middle, but Gu Yun didn't come. He wrote a letter in advance, full of complaints, crying that his boss was ungrateful Hugh Mu still wanted to arrest him for entertainment, which made him have no time to appreciate art to make up for the regret of last time.

In order to express his comfort, Bai Kou asked his servants to send him a pack of snacks and a letter, telling him that the textile factory was about to open.

After taking a rest, He Xing finally collected the lint needed for [-] bolts of gray cloth, and piled them up in the warehouse at the wharf outside the city. Someone from the farm also came to take care of the raw materials. After checking the quality of the lint, The two parties signed a contract for the processing of supplied materials, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and the details were clearly agreed upon. He Xing paid the deposit and watched the boat full of lint sail out of the dock. He returned to the inn and waited nervously. information.
