Chapter 758: Shopping
The two of them didn't do anything, just wrapped in a blanket and hugged for an afternoon, and before they knew it, they slept for a while, and when they woke up and rearranged their appearance, there was also the footsteps of the girls under the porch outside.
Bai Ko hurriedly threw away the paper on the ground, and when Qinglan came in with the lamp, what she saw was that Shizi and Bai Guan had been doing desk work for an afternoon, and their brain power was huge, and they didn't even have the strength to speak.
Qinglan lit the large floor-to-ceiling candlesticks in the corners of the room, and then thoughtfully changed a tea tray to come in, Gu Yun drank tea while watching Bai Qiao silently rearrange the paper she had just thrown out and put it back on the low cabinet, and when she was finished, she pulled her back to her side to drink tea together.
After dinner, the two of them finally started to do business, one Wen Shu, the other took inventory, and they rested after the second watch.
Gu Yun originally wanted to repeat the old trick, but tonight Bai Ko moved faster than him, washed up first and locked the door, Gu Yun blew a gust of cold wind outside the door, and saw that he couldn't knock on the door, so he had to go back to the house to sleep by himself with a stomach of grievances.
Early the next morning, while still having breakfast, Gu Yun asked someone to tell the coachman to get ready, put down the rice bowl and rinse his mouth and change clothes, and hurried out with Bai Ko.
After the carriage drove out of the gate of Tianshui Fang, Gu Yun no longer sat honestly, and quickly pounced on Bai Ko, dear.
The car now uses thick curtains in winter, which has a strong shading property, although the guards on horseback follow outside the car, as long as the two people in the car do not make too much noise, coupled with the noise on the street, basically will not attract too much attention from the guards, let alone see what is in the car.
"You dared to leave me outside to blow the cold wind last night, huh? Dare to pretend you didn't hear? ”
"I fell asleep, I didn't hear it."
"Okay, I believe you this time, just make it up to me tonight."
Bai Ko rolled his eyes and looked at him with disdain, "Big pervert." ”
"You can just call me an old pervert, and you won't change any facts anyway."
"Humph!"
Gu Yun chuckled, kissed two more bites, and finally became honest, just holding Bai Ko, and slowly arrived at Yirenfang.
Still outside the gate of the fang, Bai Qiao ordered to pull over, Gu Yun couldn't resist her, so she had to get out of the car and walk into the fang, and made an appointment with the guards and coachmen to meet in the fang, and then dispersed, and they went to find a place to park the carriage and place the horses.
The main purpose of Bai Ko's visit to Yirenfang was to inquire about the planting methods of those edible spices, and to buy some seeds by the way, so that he could replant them at any time in case the planting failed.
The two entered the workshop, and when Gu Yun was still looking around to see what new things were around, Bai Ko had already identified a direction, shuttling left and right in the bustling flow of people, Gu Yun came back to his senses and found that the person was gone, so he hurriedly looked up, only to see Bai Ko's back vaguely appear in the crowd, and hurriedly chased after him.
"Don't you know if you've lost someone? What does a person do when he walks so fast? Anyway, there are mostly foreigners in Yirenfang, mixed with some local merchants, and it is difficult to meet acquaintances, Gu Yun boldly took Bai Ko's hand and squeezed it vigorously as a punishment.
"Huh? I thought you wanted to do it yourself? ”
"You're going to play stupid with me again, believe it or not, I'll spank you in the street?"
"Believe it or not, I shouted on the street that Gu Yun Shizi of the Yeguo Mansion is the No. 1 stinky hooligan in Tianzi?"
"Believe, there's nothing in this world that you can't do." Gu Yun took Bai Ko's hand and held her footsteps, and the two walked slowly in the flow of people, "Let's take a step back, okay?" ”
"If there's anything in particular you'd like to visit, you can actually do it yourself."
"The streets of Yirenfang are too complicated, I'm afraid of getting lost."
"It's so thick-skinned."
"You always want to get rid of me and act on your own, is it possible that you want to do something small behind my back?"
"How can it!" Bai Ko immediately smiled flatteringly, "How dare I hide any small actions from you." ”
"That's right, let's have a good walk here today, it's been a long time since it's been so easy."
"Yes, Shizi."
Both of them had their own thoughts, but on the surface they reached an agreement, and Bai Ko stopped playing tricks, and seriously went shopping, buying everything he saw was interesting and interesting, and he did not avoid the son of the world when he bought seeds.
Gu Yun saw her buy seeds, and remembered that the large square frame being built in the workshop was divided into a grid, and the defective glass that was not suitable for making a mirror was embedded in it, although she didn't understand what she could do by building this kind of glass house for the time being, but seeing that she was buying seeds now, it seemed that it was really useful.
Bai Ko carefully asked about the planting method every time she bought a seed, and also took notes, the store saw that she was serious, and bought a lot, naturally there was something to say, basically there was a question to answer, Bai Ko even bought the seeds that had been backlogged in people's hands for a long time.
In the course of this kind of shopping, Bai Ko inquired about the cultivation methods of the edible spices she wanted to know the most, and finally got tired of walking, so the two walked into the restaurant where they met, met the guards, and began to enjoy a lunch full of exotic flavors.
After the meal, the guards took the things Bai Ko bought and put them in the carriage first, and made an appointment to return in the afternoon, and everyone dispersed to continue shopping.
Bai Ko only bought the ink she wanted to use this time, although she was calm, but when Gu Yun stepped into the grocery store opened by this Ufa Zaghi businessman, her brain couldn't help but burst out, and she thought of the seeds she bought in the morning and the glass house under construction in the factory.
And a few years ago, after investigating Shao Yiping, the palace gave Bai Ko back the Bai family recipe.
Gu Yun felt that his head was about to explode, he found that the result of the discussion between him and the palace chief last time might be wrong, and the secret agreement with the saint may not be a promise of ten thousand taels of taxes at all, but another one that no one thought of but was more in line with the conditions of the Bai family's identity.
Bai Ko chatted with the store with a smile, waiting for the store to wrap the goods for her, and then pay for goodbye.
When she went out, Gu Yun took the heavy ink bottle from Bai Ko's hand and carried it herself, holding her hand with the other hand, and continued to shop casually with a smile, stopping to buy two copies and taste it when she saw something delicious.
Walking and walking, when passing an inn, suddenly a man with long brown curly hair with a big beard was blasted out of it, and several pieces of unpacked luggage were thrown to the ground in a mess, and passers-by were not even interested in watching, this kind of thing happens every day in Yirenfang.
Gu Yun quickly pulled Bai Ko away, so he was not hit by those things, but when Bai Ko saw the scattered pieces on the ground, he immediately broke away from Gu Yun's hand and stepped forward.
"Hey, did you make this little toy yourself or where did you buy it?"
"I did." The man spoke slowly, with a thick accent characteristic of beginners, but he didn't know where his native language was, and Bai Ko wasn't interested anyway.
"From the outer shell to the structure inside, you made it yourself?"
"Both." The man didn't pick up his luggage, he stood up and stretched out his hands, "I'm a blacksmith, I'm an inventor, and I'm good at making small things. ”
Under Gu Yun's gaze, Bai Ko held the other party's hand and checked it over and over again, this was indeed a pair of blacksmith's hands, the same as the hands of her maternal grandfather and uncle, and most of his face was hidden behind a big beard, in addition to a pair of brown curly hair, there were also a pair of beautiful and charming blue eyes.
"Inventors? You can't even afford to live in an inn, where do you make these things? ”
"There is a blacksmith shop that can do this, and I will sell it to them for a penny, but no one likes it, it is difficult to sell, and now, poor, there is no food."
"What the hell is this? Toy? Gu Yun couldn't bear to force up and interject.
"Clockwork toys."
White Ko glanced at him, wound up the frog-like thing in his hand, and laid it on the ground, and the little frog ran away from it.
"It seems to be a little interesting, but most people will not buy, all-metal toys, at a glance, you know that they are too expensive, and now children's toys are still mostly bamboo and wood."
The man scratched his head and sneered, showing that he knew where his shortcomings were.
"What's your name? What do you call it? ”
"My name is Alisha, just call me that."
"If you know how to make this little toy, can you make a timer? This requires more elaborate processing techniques. ”
"I know the principle, it's not difficult, if I am given the tools and materials, I think I can make it."
"Okay, I'll give you a chance." Bai Ko said, took out a few taels of silver from his bag and handed them to Alisha, "Does Tianshuifang know?" If you don't know, I'll call a car to take you, tomorrow after breakfast, I want to see you outside the Ye Guo Mansion, and when the family asks who you are looking for, you say that you are looking for Bai Ko. ”
"White Kou? Your name is Bai Ko? Okay, I remember, although I don't know where Tianshuifang is, I promise to be there on time. ”
"Very good, then I'll wait for you tomorrow, it doesn't matter if you don't come, I can still afford the loss of these few taels of silver."
"I'm not a liar, trust me, I'll definitely go." Alisha clenched the broken silver in her hand, "The money you gave me is enough for me to pay off my debts, I won't let you down, I will definitely go tomorrow." ”
"Then it's decided, I'll wait for you tomorrow, take all your belongings, and I'll take a good look at what you, an inventor, have done."
"Good, good!"
"Also, clean up yourself, tie up your hair, and have a beard, is it not allowed to shave if you are religious?"
Alisha stroked her beard and shook her head.
"No, no, it's poor."
Bai Ko rolled her eyes, "Okay, anyway, you have to come to see me cleanly tomorrow." ”
"Yes, definitely."
Alisha smiled, he knew that the opportunity had come, and he must show himself well tomorrow, as for the beard on his face, him, since he escaped from the country, the so-called state religion has nothing to do with him.
Bai Ko waved his hand to him in a friendly manner, the two said goodbye to each other, and Gu Yun, who had been waiting impatiently on the side, took Bai Ko's hand and left immediately.
"A guy who is so poor that he can't even afford to live in an inn, he doesn't know if his skills are reliable, don't be in a hurry to give him a good face."
"No, look at those toys are quite exquisite."
"Anyway, you just caught it at first sight?"
"Well, it was love at first sight."
"Hey!"
Bai Ko twisted his face and smiled, "If you are really a talent, you can pick up a treasure, we are short of craftsmen who are good at fine and precision making." ”
"You can tell from those toys that he's a talent in this industry?"
"Of course."
"You really just like his craft and want to give it a try?"
"It would be better if it was a handsome face hidden behind a big beard."
Gu Yun was suddenly choked in his chest with a breath, shook Bai Ko's hand hard, heard her scream, and held it tightly when she was about to break away with her hand, pulled her towards the meeting door, and let go of her hand when it was almost there, and then Bai Ko took the things in Shizi's hand back and held it himself.
The carriage and the guards had been waiting there for a long time, and when they saw them returning, they hurriedly greeted them and took their things, and as soon as the two were seated in the carriage, the carriage set off for the return journey.
