Chapter 244: Finding the Right Target
Bai Ko rode a horse, and in the blink of an eye, he threw off the people of the Xiao Huang Ji family without even a shadow, and then saw the most dilapidated Li Ji pancreatic workshop on the street.
The civilian house, which covers an area of one acre, has not been renovated for a long time, and the eaves above the street gate are missing a few tiles, but the yard is tidy, and although the clothes of the elderly, women and children are washed white, they are also clean.
"Is this girl here to buy pancreas?"
Maybe I saw someone outside the door probing my brain, and a girl in the courtyard who was not much older than Bai Ko came out and smiled.
"You're Li Ji, right?"
"Yes, we are Li Ji, girl, let's talk about it in the courtyard, bring the horse in, there is water in it."
The girl quickly took the reins of the horse and led Zaoni to the barn on the inside of the street gate, and immediately a large bucket of water was brought by her younger siblings and placed in front of Zaoni.
Bai Ko was not in a hurry to talk about business, she walked around the small courtyard, and all she saw was the living facilities, but she didn't see the pancreas shack.
"Where's your shed?"
"Our shack is in the backyard, and the owner says that strong alkali is not good for people, and it can't be repaired with people's houses. The girl walks this way. ”
The aunt in charge of the Li Kee workshop led Bai Ko to enter through the small door next to the main house, and across a row of specially planted small bamboo forests, Bai Ko saw the concave pattern of the shed.
"Well, your house is well arranged, and the size of Huang Ji is not as good as yours."
"They have a lot of business, so naturally they are negligent."
"I heard that you are still in debt to buy this house? How long does it take to pay it off? ”
"I'm afraid it will take ten or eight years to pay it off."
"So can your monthly income support it?"
"If you can't hold on, you can find a way, otherwise what else can you do? Where can I not eat if I have a craft? Girl, you wait here for a while, the smell is too big over there in the shed, don't go over, I'll go and call the master. ”
Aunt Li touched her sideburns and walked under the shed.
Bai Ko looked at the men working in the shed, there were only two people, one in his early thirties, and a teenager and a half-year-old, but to her surprise, they were all wearing masks, although the masks were better than nothing in her eyes, but knowing how to protect themselves was already very remarkable.
After a while, Uncle Li put down the work in his hand, took off his mask, and walked out to meet the guests.
"Girl has a business to discuss?"
Uncle Li had a deep voice, but he didn't cough.
"I've walked through all three pancreatic workshops, and the men in charge of the big and small Huang Ji can't speak well, but your family makes me feel a little surprised, and you actually know how to wear a mask to do things."
"They have a lot of business, and it's normal to be negligent elsewhere."
"I don't dare to give them business if you use strong alkali to make pancreas, and you can be negligent in your own life."
The people of the Li family immediately looked happy.
"Girl, if you don't dislike it, let's go to the front yard and say?"
"I'm afraid I don't have time today, and Xiao Huangji's people are chasing after me."
"It's okay, tell the kids to stop them." Aunt Li winked, and the girls went out quickly with their younger siblings.
Uncle Li turned around and asked the eldest son to rest, and the family led Bai Ko to the front yard together, and went into the main hall to have a cup of hot tea.
After everyone sat down in order, Uncle Li washed his hands, took the tea handed by his wife, and put his hands in front of Bai Ko.
"My name is Li Fushun, I don't know what the girl is called?"
"It's my negligence, my name is Bai Ko, and I am a subordinate of the Yeguo Mansion."
"Oops!" The people of the Li family stood up together in shock, "The Ye Guo Mansion is looking for us to buy pancreas?" ”
"To be honest, I don't like the pancreas made by the three of you."
Bai Ko finally had a chance to untie her baggage and take out the big pancreas.
"This is the pancreas that we commonly use in the public mansion, the strong alkali is too dangerous, and the masters feel that there will be an accident sooner or later when they make this in the mansion, so it is better to find an expert outside for a long time."
"Such a big piece? Everyday use? Do you even use this for laundry sheets? Li Fushun's family was dumbfounded, they had never seen such a big pancreas.
"Yes, I use this for my laundry."
"White girl, can you let us weigh it?"
"Feel free to do whatever you want."
Bai Ko generously put the pancreas on the table, and the Li family took turns holding the pancreas in their hands, and the heavy weight made them all staggered.
"Such a big piece of pancreas, can't it be sold for dozens of dollars?"
"How much do your pancreas sell for?"
"Five cents, all three are the same, and the size and weight of the pancreas are also the same."
"So, the three of you have also formed the Pancreatic Guild of Tianshui Fang? Want to limit competition from newcomers? ”
"No, no! How dare you, don't dare! ”
"I saw that your house was arranged in an orderly manner, so I sat down to talk to you a few more words, and I never sat down on the big and small Huang Ji."
"That's because they have no eyes and don't realize that the white girl is a nobleman."
"I heard that your family owes a lot of debts, and it will take ten or eight years to pay them off?"
"Yes, I owe a lot of debts to the neighborhood to buy this house."
"If you can't hold on, have you ever thought about what to do?"
"I've thought about it, it's a big deal to close the house, sell the house, and move down to live in the workshop."
"The environment in Xiafang is not very good, and I have to live in Zhongfang at the very least."
"I don't know if the money from the sale of this house can buy a house in Xiafang after paying off the remaining debts, how dare I hope to live in Zhongfang."
"But Tianshuifang belongs to Shangfang, do you want to continue to live here?"
"I always dreamed that who would like to move, move to Xiafang, doesn't it mean that our family has failed and has not gained a firm foothold in Shangfang."
"Well, I see."
"White girl, there are only three of our pancreatic workshops in Tianshui Fang, since you have already gone through them all, I don't know which one you fancied?" Li Fushun's throat tightened, and he asked cautiously.
"My pancreas is a private secret recipe, and the process of making zuò is different from the tradition, but it is still necessary to prepare lye, which is the most dangerous step, and the rest of the steps are much safer, there will be no dust floating in the air, and it will not harm the safety of the family."
"Is it a new technique for making pancreas?!" Li Fushun couldn't sit still.
"It can be said to be an improvement, to make it safer and more efficient."
"In that case, why doesn't the Yeguo Mansion open its own business?"
"Actually, we are going to open our own business." Bai Ko said with a smile, not in a hurry or impatient.
The Li family was so nervous that their heads were sweating for a while.
"The Yeguo Mansion has mastered the new skills of making pancreas, and then it will be bought and sold by itself, hehehehe, there will be no room for the three of us to survive at that time."
Li Fushun wiped the sweat from his head and pretended to be relaxed.
