Chapter 22: The Fragrant Beautiful Girl and the Lemon-Scented Thief
The jade-faced ghost hooked her hand at the 'Broken Moon' on the table, and the true qi wrapped in the sword flew into her hand, she casually grabbed a sword flower, twisted her waist, spun it, and then stopped there, looking at Gao Li.
"Beautiful!" Gao Li decisively praised.
"Are your clothes pretty, or am I pretty?" asked the jade-faced ghost.
"No matter how beautiful the clothes are, they are just the icing on the cake. But if there is no beauty, then the clothes are nothing. Gao Li, who has a strong desire to survive, said.
It can be seen that the jade-faced ghost is in a really good mood, and she even danced a set of swords for Gao Li, and Gao Li clapped his hands on the side, playing the rhythm.
After the dance, the jade-faced ghost returned to his chair, tilted his head, and looked at Gao Li with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Gao Li was not afraid of her looking, and looked at her.
"You don't even know what my name is. The jade-faced ghost suddenly spoke.
"It doesn't matter, everyone has secrets, and if you have more contact, it's good to get to know it slowly. "Gao Li Dao.
"You know what? You're the first person to treat me so well since I was five years old. The jade-faced ghost said.
"Du Feihua?" Gao Li asked.
"Hmm. The jade-faced ghost nodded, "For so many years, I have been cultivating hard and desperately challenging the strong in the rivers and lakes, just to make myself stronger, and I want to take revenge." When I heard that Du Feihua was going to attack the Supreme, I felt very desperate, and I thought I would never have a chance again. My heart was in turmoil, and I lost to the 'sword ghost' Chen Ping. Chen Ping also saw that I was uneasy, so he withdrew his hand at the critical moment, and his true qi cut my three meridians without hurting me. I was disheartened, wandering around like a walking corpse, hearing your name, I wanted to beat you to death to vent my anger, but I didn't expect to be saved by you. ”
Gao Li laughed: "Fortunately, my life is big." ”
The jade-faced ghost blushed and said softly, "Thank you." ”
Gao Li said: "What are your plans for the future?"
The jade-faced ghost shook his head and said, "I don't have any plans. After I killed Du Feihua, I had no goal in life. The whole person was hazy, as if in a dream. I don't know how many places I wandered during this time, and I don't know how many people I defeated. When I woke up, I had no relatives, and after so many years on the rivers and lakes, I didn't even have a place to stay. The only person who comes to mind is you, a little whore. ”
Gao Li said: "If you don't dislike it, you might as well stay here for the time being." My village is big, and there are many empty houses, so I can just pick one at random. ”
The jade-faced ghost was silent for a moment, then nodded lightly and said, "Okay." ”
Then, she said, "My name is Ling Long." ”
In fact, Gao Li was just a test, and to his surprise, she really agreed. This is true of an old adage.
Fate is wonderful.
The jade-faced ghost Ling Long himself is a very tranquil person, although he stays, he is no different from before. Every morning, Gao Li runs and exercises, and Ling Long is practicing swords. Gao Li began to play iron, and Ling Long was practicing his sword. Gao Li, who gave up on himself, injected true qi into the white wolf, and Ling Long was still practicing his sword.
However, this time Ling Long did not hold a sword, but used a tree branch.
I have to say, the master is really a master. After practicing for so long, not only did there not have a trace of sweat on my body, but there was also a faint aroma and a lemon smell.
The aroma comes from the beauties, and the lemon flavor comes from the lewd thief.
Gao Li occasionally asked Ling Long why he didn't practice with a sword, but Ling Long just smiled and didn't answer. Gao Li didn't understand what these masters were thinking, maybe they had reached the point where they could hurt the enemy by picking flowers and grass.
As the days passed, Gao Li first got the cotton gin out. Now it seems that this thing itself has no technical content, and it is easy to copy. But before Whitney invented it in 1794, a worker could only pick seeds out of one pound of cotton a day. And with a cotton gin, this figure reached fifty catties.
Once you have this, you can eat cotton on a large scale.
The design was drawn by Gao Li, and the thing was made by the bull demon, and Gao Li paid ten taels of silver for this thing as a labor fee. Iron Hoof was terrified at the time, and a skilled craftsman was paid about two times a month. And it's not a lot of trouble to do this thing, but it's almost half a year's salary. Iron Hoof said that he didn't want it, but Gao Li said that their payment was worth the price, and they couldn't let the bull demons work for free. Moreover, neither the spinning machine nor the loom of the future is yet to be finished, and these things are complex and must not always be free.
After a set, the bull demons were moved to tears, and they all drank too much that night.
Regarding the purchase of cotton, Gao Li did not have much of his own savings, so he had to find someone to help. The Gao family basically doesn't have to think about it, and my father is good at talking, but the big ghosts and little ghosts who are in charge of the housework really can't do it.
Although Dong Mingcheng and Zhao Xiaoliu are two bad friends, when it comes to brotherhood, these two are definitely not a problem. Gao Li said it that day, and the brothers immediately patted their chests and said that they were wrapped around him. The next day, the two brought back bad news.
Their families disagreed.
The friendship between the brothers and Gao Li, the parents don't care, it's all children's play. But when it comes to business, it's different. The Dong family and the Zhao family were also wealthy businessmen and also had business dealings with the Gao family. Gao Li's reputation as a lewd thief is secondary, but the Gao family obviously wants to let Gao Li fend for himself. At that time, the Gao family had already released their words, and no one was allowed to help Gao Li. At this time, no one was willing to help a prostitute.
Dong Mingcheng and Zhao Xiaoliu are also full of money, after all, they failed to do what they promised.
Gao Li was not surprised by this result, he originally just wanted to find a powerful businessman to help him operate, but since he couldn't do it, he could only think of another way.
Ninety-nine Double Ninth Festival, ascending, appreciating chrysanthemums, eating crabs, and planting dogwoods all over the place.
When I got up in the morning, there were naturally people in Zhuangzi who were busy with these things, but Gao Li didn't have to worry about it. Gao Li now only had one word left in his eyes.
Poor.
In this era, cotton was not grown in large quantities and purchased at a very high price. The price of pure purchase of seed cotton has reached 300 wen a catty, such a terrifying high price. Coupled with the low level of processing, the people who can buy cotton clothes are basically above the well-off line, and most of them wear hemp fabrics.
This caused big trouble for Gao Li's start.
There's a saying that the winner takes all. The richer the man, the richer he is, and the poorer the poorer, the poorer he is. Gao Li planned a pocket of content, but he had difficulty with the start-up funds. It is not impossible to use small money to make big money, what he is afraid of is that some commercial competitors have noticed the advantages of mechanization, and under the competition, they will use their own strong financial resources to monopolize the market and directly play him to death.
Worry about.
