Leaving the mansion, Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) rode to the newly opened department store in the eastern city of Guangxin in the deserted village, and Xiao Er, as the proprietress, hired more than a dozen men and shopkeepers to sell goods produced in the deserted village.

Paper, porcelain, soap, cloth, rouge, gouache, linen, grease, etc., sold surprisingly well in the department store soon after it opened.

Cloth, oil, paper are all commodities for the public, all walks of life have demand, bone china, soap are also novelty products, the manufacturing cost is very low, but the selling price is not cheap, but I have you don't, everyone has the demand for products sold high, there are also people to consume, especially the wealthy class above the middle class, they are not short of silver group.

There was a crowd outside the department store, and the line was fifty steps away, bypassing the main entrance and entering through the side door, just as Xiao Er was hiding behind the cabinet with her eyebrows dancing and counting inches of silver, and her focused appearance was similar to Scrooge.

"Xiao'er, is today's business okay?"

"It's Brother Wei, sit down."

Xiao Er was overjoyed, put down the cash box and brought a chair to Bai Liyan.

"Brother Wei, the business of the department store has been doing well recently. Yesterday, I sold more than 700 copper coins and more than 100 inches of silver. ”

Bai Liyan was slightly surprised:

"So much, it's not a small income."

"Isn't it, the porcelain in the deserted village sells well, and there is soap, and the stock is enough for tomorrow day, Xiao Er is thinking about letting the deserted village transport another batch of goods."

In fact, the largest sales volume is cloth, paper, the deserted village has no cotton, silk and linen, can not weave, the sale of cloth is last year's bandits, reward inventory, and so Dingsu's cotton, silk and linen arrived in Guangxin, the deserted village imitation loom can be put into production at any time.

The most expensive is the new bone china with pure white color and transparent sound, the most expensive price is five inches of silver, the cheapest is half a root, and the bath soap soap is five pieces of silver per inch, and each piece is half a catty.

Soap is a mass product, and it is helpless to sell it at a sky-high price.

Nowadays, oil production is not easy, although the cost of coconut oil is very low, but the output is limited, animal fat can only be used as an accelerant, soap can only be sold as a luxury product for the time being, when can you grow enough tung oil, vegetable oil, large-scale cheap production is possible.

With an income of 100 inches of silver and a few hundred copper coins a day, you can buy two Yicaotang in Chenling almost every day, and the income is quite considerable. Just as he was talking to Xiao Er, a woman's voice came from the crowd outside the hall:

"Lord Wei, Lord Wei......"

The voice was very unfamiliar, and following the reputation, I saw a little woman in a pink neon dress waving her right hand abruptly on her tiptoes, and the sweet smile on her face was as fascinating as a spring flower. Bai Liyan walked to the front cabinet and said to the woman:

"What advice does the girl have?"

Tang Tao squeezed through the crowd with blushing cheeks and said with a smile:

"Have you forgotten Lord Wei, it was the little peach and Miss Wei who saved it in the first place."

"Saved the girl?"

Bai Liyan frowned and tried to remember the woman's face, but she couldn't remember seeing her. At this time, Tang Tao said again:

"Have you really forgotten, Lord Gui Lefang, do you remember?"

"Guile Fang?" Bai Liyan suddenly realized: "You are ...... Miss Xiao's maidservant Xiao Tao. ”

"Yes, yes, it's the little woman." Tang Tao nodded stunned with red cheeks, full of sweet smiles, very cute.

Putting Tang Tao into the store, Bai Liyan asked:

"Miss Tang is here to buy groceries?"

"Yes, it is rumored that there are Mingle porcelain and soap in the department store, and Miss specially asked Xiao Tao to come and buy two."

"Naraku?"

Bai Liyan thought in a blink of an eye that Mingle should be a kind of music developed by using bone china as a percussion instrument. At that time, the people made bronze vessels into containers, such as 缶, 罄, Huanglu, bells, etc., which were used to percussion to produce music and composed tunes.

Although Guile Fang is not exactly a brothel, most women also need to bathe frequently, and soap is far more convenient than soap.

Thinking of this, Bailiyan asked people to bring a wooden box and stuff a few pieces of bone china and twenty pieces of soap for Tang Tao.

"These Tang girls have it, and the money is half good."

Tang Tao was a little surprised, and her delicate eyes widened:

"How can this be done, if you let the young lady know, you have to punish Xiao Tao. It's better to do this, Xiao Tao advocated without authorization, and asked the adults to go to Guile Fang to listen to the music, in order to thank the adults for saving their lives that day. ”

"This ......"

Bai Liyan hesitated, and then Xiao Er said from the back cabinet:

"Brother Wei, this girl with golden branches and jade leaves is really handsome, I don't know whose young lady it is."

"Oh, it's the maidservant of the little girl who is the top brand of Guile Fang."

Tang Tao is only fifteen years old, but he is slim and elegant, with a pink dress, which makes Xiao Er mistakenly think that she is a young lady from a rich family. Tang Tao was also taken aback, thinking that the beautiful woman in front of her was Bai Liyan's wife, and said in surprise:

"It turns out that this is Lord Wei's wife."

Tang Tao said disappointedly, Bai Liyan waved his hand and said:

"Little Peach Girl doesn't know each other yet, this is Miss Xiao'er."

"So, Lord Wei hasn't married a wife yet?" Tang Tao swept away the disappointment, and his eyes turned to lust.

Xiao Er stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Little Peach girl is really cute, I've known Brother Wei for a long time."

Tang Tao frowned, and said with hidden hostility:

"Lord Wei and my young lady have a life-saving grace, Sister Xiao'er must not know."

"I really haven't heard Brother Wei talk about it. Since the little peach girl invited the eldest brother to enjoy the fun, the eldest brother should not excuse himself. ”

Bailiyan was surprised, she originally planned to marry Xiao Er after the situation cleared up after this autumn, when she met Xiao Chunyu, she shouldn't be so generous, and even jealous, I didn't expect to be so calm, maybe I have been poor and happy with more money recently?

"In this case, the eldest brother will follow the little peach girl to Guile Fang."

As a symbol of the prosperity of Guangxin City, Guile Fang has a pivotal position in Guangxin, and the boss behind it, Qin Han, has hundreds of millions of family fortunes, and is the second most powerful person in Guangxin City in addition to Guangxin Gong.

Bai Liyan even doubted whether it was Qin Han who single-handedly supported and planned Jiang Min of Guangxin.

Rising 60 years ago, Gui Le Fang has always been the Qin family's iconic industry in Guangxin City, which specializes in collecting beautiful girls who sell themselves and serve as slaves, and cultivating them into female music as the biggest source of profit.

If a female musician is valued by a rich family and accepted as a concubine, the most direct redemption money ranges from a few to hundreds of inches of silver, and hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Due to the scarcity of precious metals, gold and silver actually have more purchasing power than copper coins. A top brand like Xiao Chunyu is conservatively estimated to be worth 500 inches of silver, which is not counting the money earned by Gui Le Fang in his youth for a few years.

The cost of a brothel ranges from a few cents to a few taels of silver at a time, and the amount of money is almost the starting price of low-grade consumption. And Gui Le Fang is not only a brothel of men and women, but the consumption is staggering.

The starting price is inch silver, each time there is less than one or two inch silver, more than a few, and even some prodigal rich people do not hesitate to spend a lot of money, just to win a smile from the beauty.

Of course, consumption is so high, and it is not tolerated that there is no "practical" obscene content. After all, there are a few people who are good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and ancient music, and most women can only serve with charming dance and music, seeking huge profits for Guile Fang.

The so-called coquettish dance is not much different from obscene and pornographic performances, women wear thin gauze clothes like cicada wings to perform all kinds of unsightly dances, and the music is more like an early erotic telephone service, while serving to eat and drink, while talking about meat segments, if you are interested, the street brothel can just solve the problem.

In short, there is always a high report for high consumption, otherwise the cost of so much silver will not benefit at all, which is called intolerable. In other words, Qin Han earned this money, I don't know how much of it was such black money with a bad conscience.

With Tang Tao came to Guile Fang, the huge façade guests are like a tide, there is an endless stream of horses and cars, and those who can come to Guile Fang to consume are almost all rich families above the middle class in Guangxin City, if there is no gold and silver ballast at home, even the door of Guile Fang is not allowed to enter.

Seeing Tang Tao coming with a strange man in armor, the door immediately stepped forward to stop Tang Tao from going, and said sourly:

"Little Peach girl, who is he, don't you know that Guile Fang is not allowed to enter the poor sticks."

Tang Tao held his head high and ignored it and said:

"This is Lord Wei Xianwei of the Guangxin Mansion, the city transfer envoy of Guangxin City, the life-saving benefactor of Miss, and the guest invited by Miss, get out of the way quickly, offend Lord Wei, do you suffer from the offense."

The door was suspicious and looked at Bai Liyan, who was dressed very shabby, but he couldn't help but think in his heart, this person was Wei Xian, the god of the city transfer envoy who had recently been rumored? No, I can't.

"Xiao Tao, is he a city trough transfer envoy?"

"Can there be any fakes?" Tang Tao was a little angry, puffed out his cheeks and said, "Brother Wei, don't pay attention to him, let's go in." ”

Tang Tao pulled Bailiyan to leave, but the door did not stop the way, and blocked Bailiyan and saluted:

"This lord, can you give the villain a look at your waist card?"

The door gate was a whole head shorter than Bai Liyan, Bai Li Yan looked down at him, took out a big gold collar from his arms, shook it in front of this guy's eyes, and said in a calm voice:

"Do you know this sign?"

The door opened his eyebrows and nodded with a smile, and he asked for words:

"The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, it turns out that it's really Lord Wei, please please."

Tang Tao snorted and said:

"Hmph, Brother Wei, let's go, don't see him in general."

In this world, gold collars are often better used than identity, a large gold collar is worth five inches of gold, fifty inches of silver, money can be worth a thousand words, in the rich is the mother's brothel music workshop, the gold collar is a symbol of status.

As an official ritual weapon, the gold collar rarely flows into the currency circulation, and most of the people who can sell the gold collar are either rich or expensive, and there are many children of rich families, but there are very few people in the family who have gold collars.

Stepping into the music workshop, the sound of the song and swallow dance lingers in the ears, and from time to time there are women's pretentious voices mixed with men's dirty laughter echoing in the huge music building, which can't help but make people blush after hearing it for a long time.

Tang Tao saw Bailiyan's face flushed, and couldn't help laughing:

"Lord Wei is the first time to come to the place of Fengyue."

Bai Liyan nodded:

"Yes, I've never been here before."

"It's not that Xiao Tao is rude, these men like this, there's really no way."

Tang Tao is not ashamed of the love of men and women, and what he said is quite a bit of a doorway.
