Chapter 120 The First Guest
The widows didn't expect that President Bai would move so fast. What they talked about yesterday, they just opened their mouths today and said a number, and tomorrow they will deliver the goods. They were all caught off guard.

"There's nothing I can do if it's not enough. I'll send people to the morning market early tomorrow morning to buy as much as I can. Don't tell outsiders that everything is done by my people. Just grow vegetables for me." Bai Tongtong warned .

The widows repeatedly assured, "We rarely go to town when we have nothing to do, and no one tells us."

"Well, do you need any more supplies? Are there enough seeds? I have already told the outside that there are local vegetables that can be marketed in ten days."

Immediately the widows sent their children home to bring all the seeds, but looking at the shabby bags, they knew that there were not enough to count without counting them.

"Forget it, I'm going to buy seeds, which store in the town sells them?"

"It's sold in stores that sell groceries such as oil and salt. If you tell the owner, it will be taken out."

"Okay, I'll go now." Bai Tongtong patted his clothes and stood up. "I won't know what to plant first until the vegetables are delivered tomorrow. I will help you plow the land when I buy the seeds. Don't worry about not having big livestock."

"Yes, thank you President Bai."

Bai Tongtong nodded to them, Ah Huang flicked his tail lightly, and the two of them disappeared amidst everyone's eyes and exclamations.

Coming out of the town, it is near the grocery store. When I entered the store and asked, the owner did not have so many rapeseeds. He still revealed to Bai Tongtong his place of purchase, which is a town of Lemien on the border between Soller City and Kedikov City. The carriage took two days, and most of the merchants who came down to buy grain every year also came from there.

After inquiring about the exact location, Bai Tongtong rushed over, popped out from outside the town, and saw the street sign outside the town at a glance, which said Lemien.

Patting Ah Huang's head appreciatively, they avoided a carriage full of goods, and the two of them walked into the town.

The town is very big, with more than one main street, and its infrastructure is enough for a small city. Bai Tongtong asked passers-by and found a place to sell seeds.

The local spring plowing has started long ago, and the peak demand for seeds has passed. Bai Tongtong went to several stores to buy the quantity she wanted. The merchants were all talking about why a magician came to buy enough seeds for a hundred acres of farmland now.

After purchasing, Bai Tongtong did not forget to take a walk around the town, and decided to include this town in his shopping list. This place is very suitable for bulk purchases. It is a distribution center for goods. Merchants are mainly engaged in wholesale. A living market.When chatting with them, many people don’t know that there is a town of Fabao two days away. Occasionally, some people know that it is poor and can’t afford beautiful and fashionable goods, so there are very few merchants. In the past, most of them came out to buy goods by themselves.

Fubao Town is so poor that even businessmen are unwilling to come here. It has to be said that it has reached a certain level. No outsiders come in, and the townspeople cannot get fresh news from the outside world for a long time. Geographically, it is actually not a closed and difficult mountainous area. But people's minds are closed, and there is no medicine.

Bai Tongtong mentioned to the merchants that there is now a magician's guild in Fubao Town, but she was asked if she offended her superiors and was sent to retire there.

After returning to the guild with the helplessness of being asked nothing, Bai Tongtong asked someone to put the seeds away properly, changed his clothes and slipped to the kitchen to find something to eat, while Ah Huang rushed to the village to help them plow the land.

The earth-type monsters used their own magic to plow the land much faster than livestock, and the hundreds of acres of farmland were overturned several times in an instant, which shocked and frightened the villagers, and did not dare to offend the magician.

Bai Tongtong was sitting in the kitchen picking vegetables while waiting for the maids to bake her small biscuits. Among the six maids, two of the best cooks would become cooks, so everyone was trying their best to show off their skills.

Looking at the vegetables left by the sink for dinner, Bai Tongtong suddenly had an idea and asked someone to find two baskets and grab a little of each vegetable. She wrote an address on the note and called Bernard Let him send someone to Fort Cheamington, a basket to the guild, and a basket to Seiya, and the reciprocal network of merchants can help her sell vegetables.

The people sent by Bernard came back after more than an hour, and brought back Seya's handwritten letter for Bai Tongtong, as well as a large piece of minced meat pie that her cook had just baked, still steaming.

Bai Tongtong distributed the pies to everyone to eat together, and told them to buy vegetables tomorrow morning, search for all the vegetables in the market, and if the quantity is not enough, urge the stall owner to find the goods, she did not believe that such a few villages could not make up a few Here comes the basket of vegetables.

At noon, the farmers came back for lunch, sharing and discussing with each other their experience in growing vegetables. In the afternoon, everyone worked separately. The women accumulated a pile of sewing to do, and the men also helped stretch the cloth, draw lines and cut it.

Bai Tongtong was sitting on the terrace outside her office, looking at the land with weeds growing below, she suddenly didn't want to use it as an ordinary farmland, but used it all as an experimental field. The hundreds of acres of land in the village can already meet temporary needs. In the second half of the year, after the grain is harvested, if any villagers are willing to cooperate with her, she will rent more, continue to grow vegetables, and sell them to northern cities where there are few vegetables in the long winter.

In the early morning of the next day, Abel took the girls to round up all the vegetables from the stall owners in the morning market. The quantity was far from enough. They took a lot of silver coins and asked each stall if there were any vegetables. The Magicians Guild bought a lot of fresh vegetables. vegetable.

Many stall owners didn't bother to close their stalls, and drove their cars to different villages. No one went to the village owned by the church, but people went to other villages, but everyone had the same idea of ​​growing vegetables. The daily needs of the town The amount is not large, and every household only grows a little bit for oil and salt, but suddenly there is such a large amount, everyone is alarmed.

Bai Tongtong also sent all the vegetables from Solter Village, plus the various villages purchased a lot of varieties, but the quantity was still not enough, but there was no other way, the villagers sold all the ungrown vegetable seedlings, Happily took the money and left.

Bai Tongtong paid for the vegetables, and left all their vegetable baskets. She led people to switch the vegetables in various ways, and set aside four baskets for the guilds in Wangdu, Fort Chamington, and Menise City. The Seiya family had one. Basket, and she put the rest in the ring and sent it to the school.

Not long after she left, the male servants also set off with vegetables. The guild in Fort Zammington left one basket and sent it to Seiya, and there were two baskets in the capital because Bai Tongtong forgot about the magician community. go in.

Following Bai Tongtong's instructions, the servants all smiled and asked the guild to take care of President Bai's latest business.

Such fresh, juicy and good-looking vegetables, of course, immediately received favorable comments. Many magicians went to inquire about the situation in the new guild with the male servants. Come over to be a guest when you have time, and taste the dishes cooked by President Bai himself.

The number of dishes that Bai Tongtong sent to the school was really not enough, but fortunately, there were many types, so several restaurants divided them equally, and paid attention to collecting the dining opinions of teachers and students during lunch. According to the good reviews, which dishes are so-so, which taste weird and don't like it.

In addition to the order letter from the school, the guilds who received the vegetables today also sent letters, asking which vegetables are delicious and asking about the length of the growing season.

Bai Tongtong made a planting list based on these opinions, and took the farmers to the village to discuss with the widows that the cultivation will start tomorrow, and all unused land must be planted.

When the widows were discussing which vegetables to plant, many village women also came to join in the fun. A group of people chattered and discussed a suitable planting plan. Bai Tongtong took people back to prepare the seeds, and she copied the planting plan a few times. Over and over again, the growth period that can be picked is written on the back of each vegetable, so that her customers can buy vegetables according to the day. The price of vegetables is in baskets, plus a teleportation fee. In the space bag, send it through the teleportation array at one time, the more you buy, the cheaper the shipping fee.

Principal Hart's reply was the fastest reply, and it was also very simple. The total amount of vegetables that the school needs every day is so much, let Bai Tongtong figure it out by himself, and send them to them when the vegetables are cooked. It doesn't matter.

Mowu Academy is a big customer, of course Bai Tongtong will give priority to guaranteeing their orders, and she will notify them soon so that everyone will remember.

A little later, I received several other letters as expected. There are businessmen from the Wizards Guild in Wangdu, Menise City, and Fort Chamington. They are all interested in Bai Tongtong's vegetable business. .Seiya and his contacts also came in handy. Through the introduction of the middleman, they got online with the merchants of the guild, so the big merchants became the first large wholesalers, and the merchants hired by the Seya family became the second wholesalers. The vegetables are sent to various morning markets, they are sure that after a long winter, the citizens will be happy to see fresh vegetables from other places, and they will not care too much about the higher price.

These letters all contained the estimated total amount of vegetables, which was quite large in several cities. Bai Tongtong suddenly became worried about whether the hundred or so acres of land she had just rented could have such a large output.

But after thinking about it, this is a good time for agricultural experiments, and it is time for her experimental field to be plowed and ready for planting.

After dinner that night, Bai Tongtong took out a lot of rapeseeds and beans, soaked them in a water basin overnight, and planted them tomorrow morning.

The morning market in the town has no vegetables to sell, and all the vegetables that can be bought have been bought. The villagers in other villages have to wait for a new round of vegetables to ripen, but it is not that there are no vegetables to eat here. It is spring to germinate sprouts from beans. The best vegetables in the garden can be picked within seven days, faster than leek sprouts. This is what she specially searched in Lemien Town. Other vegetables are hard to find, but beans are the most common seeds.

Early the next morning, most of the farmers went to Salter Village to work with the widows. Bai Tongtong kept a few peasant women for herself, and Ah Huang plowed the land for her, and the peasant women were responsible for sowing the seeds.

While they were busy, guests came from outside the woods. They were villagers from other villages, driving over in a donkey cart, and they didn't take the driveway in the forest, but passed through the woods from another direction. They seemed to be sneaking. Just ask me why I didn't see the magician's servant go shopping in the town this morning.

"Don't all your villages grow staple food, how can there be a large piece of land for me to grow vegetables? Well, I'm already planting seeds, and new vegetables will grow in a few days. If you really want to earn some oil and salt money, I have been buying vegetable baskets for a long time, either straw or rattan, as long as they are strong, no matter the quantity, the more the better, the size should be able to hold a full standard grain bag vertically. After weaving, I will sell them in the morning market. The servant will buy it when he sees it, and you don’t need to send it.”

The villagers quickly agreed and drove the donkey cart back the same way.

When people entered the woods, Bai Tongtong squatted on the ground and slapped his legs and laughed. It seemed that he was still a quick-witted villager who wanted to live a good life and didn't care whether the person he made friends with would prevent them from going to heaven after death.

After all the beans were scattered, Bai Tongtong went to the field she had set her sights on to do her planting experiment, sowed other rapeseeds, put up wooden signs, and observed the application of chemical fertilizers.

What vegetables are grown in Salter Village, she also grows the same in her test field, observing the absorption of chemical fertilizers by different plants, in order to summarize the data of the best fertilization.

The experiment was divided into several categories. After a distance, Bai Tongtong asked Ah Huang to open another piece of land of the same size for her. This piece of land will not be planted for the time being, but the base fertilizer will be applied first, waiting for the chemical reaction of the nitrogen fertilizer in the soil. Sow again in a few days.Comparing the two experimental fields, we can see the effect of using or not using the base fertilizer on the growth of vegetables.

After finishing these tasks, the sun has already risen high, sweating all over her head and body, Bai Tongtong fanned the wind with her hands in vain, and after finishing the last bit of work, she hurried back to the room to rest, because of the temperature, she felt that after a few days You can change into summer clothes in one day.

She told the peasant women to help her take care of the experimental field, watering and catching insects, and Bai Tongtong just counted the days to fertilize. It's great to have bought so many farmers.

Now that the work has started unknowingly, of course there is no reason to be lazy, there are so many experiments to be done in the laboratory, after Bai Tongtong changed her sweaty clothes, she went to her business.

In the past few days of waiting for various bean sprouts to break out of the ground, the maids bought a lot of brand new vegetable baskets from the morning market in the town. It seems that everyone knows about her long-term large-scale purchases, but no one speaks loudly. Shouting, the stall owners in the morning market just put a stack of baskets in the corner of the stall, and smiled ambiguously when the magician's servants approached.

Every time they go shopping, Ah Huang will follow, and the order is very good wherever they go. No one is afraid of being bitten by this beast that looks cute but actually eats meat.

Apart from these things, the messengers from the local guilds were the most frequent guests, mainly asking about vegetables, how many people could be supplied by the white vegetable fields in this sluggish spring.

Bai Tongtong felt that if she could rent out all the cultivated land in Salter Village in the second half of the year, it would be able to satisfy many people's stomachs, and the surrounding magicians' guilds could do the same, as long as there was a large area of ​​farmland near the guild's address.

When the bean sprouts were about the same size, Bai Tongtong spent the whole afternoon making spring roll wrappers in the kitchen, fried big spring rolls to eat in the evening, and cooked all kinds of bean sprouts and mixed them with cold salad. The color was refreshing and delicious. The method is also simple, so you don't need to worry too much, otherwise if the way of eating is too complicated, it will not be sold.

The next morning, the old habit, the sprouts picked early in the morning were put into baskets and sent to different cities by different people, and a gift was also included, spring rolls packed in paper bags, freshly fried early in the morning, fragrant and hot It seems that it is wrapped with bean sprouts shredded pork and shredded mushrooms.

Bai Tongtong personally delivered the dishes in Menise City. She came so suddenly that everyone was unprepared, and they were still counting the days to wait for Bai Yabai.

Bai Tongtong went directly to the principal's house to sell her delicious sprouts for the dishes left for the vegetable vendors in the city.

Farmers planted beans in the hope of growing more beans, but Bai Tongtong ate the seedlings as vegetables. The principal kept on blaming her for wasting the beans, but the wife just laughed, saying that it was rare for the Magicians Guild to do something absolutely right , is to put Bai Tongtong in a place with rich products.

"If time permits, I really want to go to your place for a long vacation, and ask you to cook for us every day." The lady put down the tableware and wiped her mouth, and the butler changed her to tea.

"Well, speaking of vacation, Tongtong, have you packed up yet?" Principal Hart raised his eyebrows when he heard his wife's words while he was eating comfortably, remembering something he almost forgot.

"Uh, it depends on what it means to clean up." Bai Tongtong drank tea and waited for the principal's next words.

"Tongtong just passed by, and there is a task so soon? I didn't hear you mention it yesterday." Madam decided to take back her praise of the guild just now, which is too oppressive.

"I was so busy and confused yesterday. After reading the letter, I put it aside and forgot about it. I just remembered it."

"What is it?"

"Oh, don't be nervous, take it easy, it's not a serious task of the guild, it's an old mage who wants to recuperate in a different environment, and wants to go to a place with a warm climate and few people, look around, your place is the most suitable. "

"Who is this mage? I don't remember any of the mages in the community who are in poor health."

"You haven't seen him. He didn't live with us. He's older than me, and he hasn't shown up in public for a long time. He spends most of the year in the small manor given by His Majesty. He's getting old and always feeling unwell. He also got sick in winter, and everyone suggested that he go to a warm place to recuperate."

"It's okay to come to recuperate. Does he have attendants? I can't serve such an old man."

"Yes, there will be servants following, that's why I asked you if you have tidied up there."

"He won't leave in two days, right? The bedding in the guest room is still being made. If there are servants, the servants also want the room. I have to find someone to clean the attic and put some sets of furniture in."

"Have you never considered the issue of a magician staying in the guild guest room with a servant?" Principal Hart gave Bai Tongtong a helpless look, and continued to eat breakfast.

"Yes, I think magicians are all alone, with no one around them."

"Now you know."

"Yes."

"Okay, come back to school with me in a while, and I'll give you the address of the old mage, and you can write him a letter to discuss it after you go back."

"All right."

An hour later, Bai Tongtong got the letter in Principal Hart's office. After reading the contents of the letter, he copied the address and went back to prepare.
