Alien landlady

Chapter 126 Business Prospects
"Bei Rui, how should I put it, I only accepted her the day before yesterday. Before I met her, she was living a very bad life, very very very bad."

"My poor Bai Rui!" The old lady Edie was over-excited again, and she was about to faint again, and the family was in chaos again. After the old man regained his composure, everyone stuffed a few cushions under her waist so that she could half lie and half lean on the sofa.

"I knew it! I knew it! I should have taken her away. Leaving her alone in the village will only harm her!" Sana's eyes were red, and she bit her fist, sobbing uncontrollably. It's all the same, the wives accompany their husbands with sad faces.

"Where's her husband? Does she have children? If she's having a bad time, doesn't that mean they're all bad?" Old Laird held his wife's hand tightly, his lips trembling.

"If you want to know, I suggest that you all drink some strong alcohol to calm down first. This is a terrible story. I will try to keep it short."

The daughters-in-law immediately went to the wine cabinet to get the wine and glasses. They each drank a little and put down the glasses to ensure that they would not get too excited and hurt themselves. Then they looked at Bai Tongtong eagerly.

"To be precise, the first time I met Bai Rui was the afternoon before yesterday, but the guests who found her and brought her to the guild were the guests who went fishing by boat. Grass roots to satisfy hunger."

The old lady Edie suddenly burped, the whites of her eyes rolled out, she was about to faint again, Bai Tongtong hurriedly threw out the white magic again, and her family also hurriedly poured her wine to calm her down, and begged Bai Tongtong to continue speaking.

"Berry said that Sana left her a sum of money before she left, but her husband donated it all to the church the next day, which led to the fact that their family had to sell the land to Church, moved to the church village and became their sharecroppers."

"My God! How did she survive? Those people wanted to skin her alive! Why did they sell it to the church?! The baron's manor in the next village is also willing to buy the land. It must be the idea of ​​her cowardly husband!" Sana Angry and sad, Nier kept kissing her husband's hand, hoping that he would exercise restraint.

"Yes, that's when the difficult days began. Fortunately, she can make wine, weave and make candles. The village needs her skilled labor force. Besides instigating her husband to beat her every day, they are reluctant to let her die."

"Oh my god!" The old lady Edie cried and fell into her husband's arms. There were also many wet marks on the handkerchiefs of the daughters-in-law.

"Then what about her now? How could she sit in the water grass and eat the roots of water grass?" The youngest brother really couldn't bear to hear about her sister's tragic past, and eagerly wanted to skip to the last part.

"Because her husband died a few days ago after being ill for several months, and she herself had no children because of her poor health due to long-term hardship. The village used the excuse that she would bring bad luck to burn her to death. The guild was officially opened, and when she heard the news that a magician was coming, she fled in the middle of the night, but lost her way again, and walked to the farthest water's edge before she knew it, but fortunately, she was picked up by another magician."

"Why is this? Is this really the meaning of our merciful Lord who cares for the world? Isn't it the Lord's kindness to take care of widows and widows who have lost their spouse? Why is there still such a ridiculous and shameful concept?" The third daughter-in-law is the youngest , just in her early twenties, in her life experience, the locals have never had this kind of concept, so she couldn't help shouting.

"It's very simple. Since the first earl in Fort Town, there is only the influence of the church. The Magician's Guild only found an opportunity to build a new branch there last year. I officially took office as the first president on the first day of this month. When the church This kind of thing is easy to happen when the family dominates, but if there is a magician's guild at the same time, it will be more enjoyable."

"That's true." The daughters-in-law are all locals. When they were born, the town was already a center of famous factories and workshops. The business environment is very good, and there are no messy troubles. Go to church to worship, live a plain and regular life.

"Everyone knows the grievances between the church and magicians, but no one takes it seriously now. Even devout Christians will avoid certain topics. How is Fabao Town still the same as it was hundreds of years ago? Because something happened in a family. Magic apprentices, the whole family is a traitor to the Lord, it's simply unbelievable." Nier squeezed the handkerchief, her face full of shock and disbelief.

"Yes, even the villagers who do business directly with the magician think they have betrayed the lord, and the lord will punish them." Bai Tongtong expressed his helplessness and spread his hands, "You don't know that I want to get a few villagers to help me do something Sewing, how much tongue wasted."

"It's totally conceivable." Laird's family of parents and brothers can't imagine anything.

"Alright, we've finished talking about Bai Rui. If you want, you can go directly to my guild through the teleportation array, and you can meet her there."

"Thank you, President Bai, we will definitely go back to see her one day in the near future."

"President Bai, you came here on purpose today, you didn't come here to tell us about Bai Rui, did you?" Sana asked suddenly.

"Yes, I heard from Bai Rui that you learned fire magic, but I came here specially to find you."

"Oh, it's time for us to visit the children." Nier squeezed her sister-in-law's hand.

"Yeah, those little ones must have played with mud all over."

The housewives immediately left hand in hand, and the old Laird and his wife also said they wanted to go back to their room to rest and then left, leaving only Bai Tongtong and their three sons in the living room.

"Does President Bai want a blacksmith's stove?" Sana, who works as a fire apprentice, certainly knows the needs of the customers who come to him.

"Yes, I need several furnaces, from ordinary blacksmith furnaces to higher temperature furnaces. I will do different smelting experiments, so the design of the furnace must be ingenious so that the heat of the fuel cannot be wasted."

"I understand, I will design those high-temperature furnaces well, and ordinary blacksmith furnaces are ready-made."

"Don't worry, the experimental workshop hasn't been built yet. If you want, why don't you help me take a look and make a layout plan, and I'll go find craftsmen to build a house."

"Oh, I've never done this kind of thing. It's best to go directly to the construction guild for construction matters."

"I have to use several furnaces, fire and water. You told me to go directly to the construction guild. What if they don't have experience in this field? I may use more complicated smelting tools or other high-temperature tools in the future , Shouldn’t experts who play with fire be more experienced in the issue of heat dissipation and ventilation? If you really can’t do it, you can recommend other colleagues to me first.”

"In this case, then I will sort out the unfinished work in hand, and I will definitely go back in the near future."

"Okay, I'll go back and wait for you." Said Bai Tongtong and stood up.

The three Sana brothers quickly stood up, "Please allow us to have the honor of having dinner with you."

"No, thank you. It's been a day since I came out. I spent half a day waiting for news to find your family. I'm glad I found you so smoothly, but the guild still has a lot of work waiting for me."

"Okay then, without delaying President Bai's business, I guarantee that I will go there one day in the next four or five days."

"Okay, I'll wait for you. Farewell."

"We'll see you off." Sana's little brother immediately opened the door of the living room. Ah Huang was licking fur in the corridor. Seeing this, he turned over and stood up, wagging his tail and followed Bai Tongtong's feet. It was the three brothers who saw her out.

Standing on the driveway, the brothers were still thanking for the news of their sister, until Ah Huang couldn't stand the endless politeness of the human beings, and directly activated the earth escape technique, and returned to the center of Sorell City in a flash.

[Why do you appear here? 】

[I thought you might want to visit the construction guild?say hi? 】

[Don't worry, wait until Sana comes over to have a look. If I go to Xingdong first and the news spreads, I don't have much energy to deal with waves of guests. 】

【Okay, let's go shopping, I need a new comb. 】

[Can't the old comb be used? 】

[It's not suitable, it's a comb for combing kittens, I want to change it to a bigger one. 】Ah Huang flicked her long tail, and slapped Bai Tongtong up and down.

Bai Tongtong pinched the three tufts of hair on its ears, 【This is your real purpose. 】

Ah Huang raised his head and chest, with an innocent face, he shook off Bai Tongtong and walked in front, [The dead dog said there is a good shop nearby. 】

[The stores opened here are called good stores. 】Bai Tongtong grabbed Ah Huang's tail and let it lead him like walking a cat.

Ah Huang led Bai Tongtong to find that good shop with his sensitive nose. He was no longer interested in snacks. There were all kinds of delicious fresh food in the forest that he couldn't finish, so he bought a new comb and left.

Returning from the teleportation circle to his own site, he immediately felt that it was very lively. Bernard and the servants were in the lobby, and the tea was delivered by the maid from the kitchen, and then they sent it to different rooms on the first floor.

Seeing Bai Tongtong come back, Bernard immediately stepped forward, "Welcome Miss."

"have a guest?"

"Some came to see the scenery, some came for vacation, and some came to the forest to collect specimens and stay for a day or two. Everyone already knows that our guild is on the right track and officially accepting guests." Bernard looked at the reception in his hand. The book simply said.

"Very well, treat them well. I'll go upstairs to rest for a while. If you have time, tell Bai Rui that I have found her family. Her eldest brother will come to help me plan a smelting experimental factory in the near future."

"Oh, this is really exciting news. I'll pass it on to her in a moment. Shall I have some tea brought up for you?"

"Tea is fine."

"Okay, come right away."

Bai Tongtong went back to the bedroom to change clothes, drank tea and rested for a while, then took the teapot and cups to the financial office opposite her office and sat there. She had a meeting with the accountant Linton and the cashier Amis to discuss the cost of the experimental workshop. Not including this infrastructure fee, she had to think about whether to pay for it herself or report to the General Association to increase the allocation.

In fact, she doesn’t have a lot of cash, so she can maintain her life, but she is more nervous about building large-scale construction projects. She may build more than a smelting factory in the future. Her most assets are actually all kinds of raw materials, and she has to build a factory to turn raw materials into energy. Products for money.

Linton's opinion is that it is best to wait for the quotation of the furnace and the cost of the workshop to be sorted out before applying to the general guild for funding. Just like the laboratory building, everyone can use it. After all, Bai Tongtong, the guild president, is not for life. She paid for the construction of the factory herself, and if she was transferred one day, she couldn't pack up the factory and move it away as a whole.

Bai Tongtong accepted Linton's opinion. Anyway, it's not bad for a few days, and we'll wait for the quotation to be made.

Looking at the sky outside, she felt that it was still early, thinking that she was supposed to go to the little baron's manor today, so while the kitchen was still cooking dinner, Bai Tongtong asked Ah Huang to take him there.

This baron's manor is the smallest among the eight villages, and it is slightly larger than the guild. It has a total area of ​​five or six hundred acres. The current baron actually has another identity as Viscount Camerina. The kinship relationship from the past, that is, as the grandson, the Viscount Camerina inherited the title and territory of the grandfather, and the grandfather's family was killed by political enemies in the internal strife.

The current Viscount Camerina still lives in the Viscount's territory since he was a child, and has never been influenced by the customs of Fabao Town, but the benefits of inheriting an additional title and territory are also obvious. Land is the best property. , representing a stable income, able to support a knight who burns money, although the title is low, but I heard that it is developing well and is favored by the upper class.

Without making an appointment in advance, Bai Tongtong just appeared in front of the gate of the manor, knocked on the door, and the male servant who came to answer the door was quite frightened. After learning about Bai Tongtong's intentions, he immediately invited him into the room to have a detailed discussion with the housekeeper. .

"President Bai, I'm Finney, the butler of the manor. The president is here in person, full of splendor." The gray-haired butler walked into the living room, followed by a servant pushing a dining car to bring refreshments.

"It's my rudeness to interrupt you without an appointment. I'm sorry."

"The president is too polite. We usually don't have any guests here. The president is very welcome. What kind of tea does the president like?" Across the coffee table, Butler Finny sat upright and respectfully opposite Bai Tongtong, looking at The footman poured the tea.

"Don't bother, just plain tea."

The servant then put the teacup in front of Bai Tongtong, stepped back and closed the living room door.

"I heard that the president came here to do business with our baron in agricultural products?"

"Yes, the butler must have heard of some new things in the past half a month." Bai Tongtong took a sip of tea and put down the cup.

"I heard about it, but we are basically self-sufficient and rarely go to the town to purchase, so we don't know too much. I only heard that the president is doing vegetable business? Sell vegetables to other places through the teleportation array?"

"That's right, the northern cities are only in the preparation stage for farming, and we can only plant seeds when the land thaws. However, the vegetables here will mature and go on the market within ten days at the earliest. This is a wonderful seasonal difference. Through the teleportation array, I can sell them to the farthest north." border cities."

"However, the cost of the teleportation array is very high, and rich people alone cannot eat so many vegetables."

"That's why we need to increase the quantity to spread out the freight until most common people feel that the price of this dish is affordable."

"But after the weather gets warmer, their local vegetables will be on the market one after another. Has Chairman Bai thought about how he will spend these few months?"

"At that time, it's better to plant something else. If the growth period exceeds two months, or don't plant it, and concentrate on raising livestock and poultry. The summer in the north is short, and when the local area is still too hot to sleep in September, they have to prepare. It's winter."

The housekeeper nodded thoughtfully, and Bai Tongtong quickly struck while the iron was hot, "You can write to Mr. Camerina to discuss it. I don't want you to vacate the vegetable fields now. I can wait for your autumn grain to be harvested. If you are willing to plant I will accept as many vegetables as you want. In addition, you can also ask him if there are any high-quality cheese wines or other specialties, and I will also accept them. There are more and more magicians in my place, so I have to find something good for them. "

Finney smiled happily, "Okay, President Bai, I will write it truthfully in the letter to Your Excellency the Baron, but I will have to send the letter through your guild to help."

"Oh, that's no problem at all. I'll take a seat after you post the letter. There are many beautiful scenery there." Bai Tongtong said and stood up. Mr. Echo."

"Thank you for coming. I will write to His Excellency the Baron tonight. He must be very happy to do business with Chairman Bai." Finny stood up, "Please let me take you outside the gate."

At the door, the two parties bid farewell again, and Bai Tongtong and Ah Huang disappeared in place after a burst of magical light.

Butler Finney immediately went back to the house to seize the time to write a letter to the Patriarch of another territory far away.

Bai Tongtong, who returned to the guild, finally went to the morning room to show her face and greeted the coming magicians. They were no longer faces of old men and old ladies, but there were some young people, but they were still older than her , about 40 years old, is the backbone of the current magic world, and the younger generations have yet to grow up. Bai Tongtong's ability to become the president of the branch at a young age is already quite a remarkable achievement in their eyes. After all, this is a very Pay attention to the status of comprehensive strength, not only the level of magic is enough.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Bai Tongtong temporarily left to go to the kitchen to have a look, and asked the maid to wash some millet and cook it directly into dry rice, then put the pot in ice water to cool down, and then turned it into an ingredient for fried rice. Take some inside and cut into cubes, use the last bit of fish roe left over from yesterday, fry it with millet rice, beat the eggs and fry a large omelette, put the rice in to make omelet rice, pour on top Some savory sauces are served hot with the whole pan as a main course.Other dishes are still made by the maids, testing their all-round culinary skills, hoping to appoint an official cook at the end of the month.

The daily meals provided by the local guilds are the same as the restaurants on the street. They are just a few simple dishes to ensure that you will be full, but whether the food is good or not is a matter of difficulty for everyone.
