"Daddy."

Bai Qing entered the house and saw his father, General Bai Da, sitting in the hall, and as soon as he shouted, he saw that his younger brothers and sisters had disappeared around the decorative screen on the left side of the hall, and then they heard the footsteps as if they were outside again.

"There's a yard behind here?"

"There is a rear cover building in the back, we all live there, leave a room for you, the front wing room for the people to live, this military post was not the landlord's house before, this small courtyard may have been lived by children and grandchildren or women and children before." General Bai said simply and casually, "It's well preserved. ”

"That's because there's no money to tear it down and rebuild it."

Bai Qing lifted the hem of his clothes, sat down on the chair under his father's head, and just happened to come in from outside, holding a tea tray and placing it on the coffee table next to Bai Qing, pouring him a cup of hot tea before quietly retreating, closing the door so as not to disturb their father and son's conversation.

"What are you doing by tearing it down and rebuilding it? Wasting this great landlord's house, you see how good it is now, what kind of excitement is there in the village, the guests who come to play have a place to live, and the barracks can be so comfortable? ”

"I was about to ask, why are you all here? I didn't say a word before I came, I was shocked, the one who greeted and led the way here was Qi Ke's maid, not afraid of being discovered by her? Bai Qing picked up the teacup and blew it in the palm of his hand, took a few sips shallowly, and the hot tea was warm in his stomach.

"We can't see anyone?" General Bai, who was obviously a Confucian general, glared, and suddenly surged out of the momentum of a fierce general on the battlefield, if it wasn't for the distance, he would have slapped it down, "Besides, we are here to play and buy things, Qi Ke knows it, won't she do the business when she comes to the door?" Believe it or not, even if she knew that our family was coming, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to run over to say hello? Do you want to bet or not? ”

"Don't bet." Bai Qing admitted that his father had a point, and he didn't know what he was so nervous about.

"Coward." Pythagorean Library

"Forget about buying things, Qi Ke's daily necessities here are indeed varied and easy to use, but what are you doing here?" Bai Qing ignored his father's contempt, but felt that something was wrong with his father's visit, "You don't care about the attack on the last merchant ship?" ”

"What else to investigate, it was the Five Elements Banner Alliance that did it, and sooner or later they will tear down their lair."

"Don't talk about it in a few years now, let's make money to build a few more boats first, and there are no boats and no guns to use anything to build their nests."

"Aren't I here to talk about business?" General Bai also grabbed his teacup and took a few sips slowly.

"Talking about business? What to talk about? ”

"Eh, didn't you say that there would be cotton yarn for sale in the yarn yard and ask me if I wanted it?"

"Oh, yes, the yarn yard seems to have been built, what should I do if I was worried about the price of cotton, but now there is already a load of seven taels of silver on the market, how can I afford it, I didn't expect that the cotton ship that was going to Qingshui Port was chased by pirates and lost its way to Hekou Bay, hehe~" Regarding such a coincidental good luck, Bai Qing remembered it and was happy.

"I also feel lucky." General Bai Da was also full of joy about this, "If we go to Qingshui Port, when we learn the news, the five ships of cotton have already been divided up by the merchants, and now these five ships of goods are in Hekou Bay, even if outsiders hear the gossip, it is useless, whether they can reach out or not, they are all ours." ”

"Dad made a special trip to talk to Qi Ke about the cotton yarn business?"

"You sent a message to their captain and said that you want them to be able to supply them steadily, right?"

"Having said that, now let's wait for Village Chief Jia to negotiate a long-term price that is acceptable to both parties, don't change the price once, that will make the price of the cotton yarn grey cloth dyed in our workshop unstable."
