"Miss, please see."

Bai Jin glanced at it, it was indeed Ning Tonghua's handwriting, and the things written on it were complete.

She asked casually, "How long will it take for Shopkeeper Ning to come back?" ”

"Things are a little tricky on the Ning shopkeeper's side, I'm afraid it will take at least a month." Bai Qi replied.

Bai Jin put down the rouge box in his hand and said with a smile: "Why do you know so many of these things?" ”

Bai Qi didn't panic: "You weren't there yesterday, Ning asked someone to send it over, and he also said that a steward surnamed Mu who he promoted before in the salt mill can find him, and if he is not there these days, if your salt shop is opened, you can temporarily use him as a shopkeeper." ”

"Steward Mu?" Bai Jin recalled it for a while, but he didn't remember this person.

"The slave and maid are not particularly clear, it seems that he was only a long-term worker recruited in the salt mill before, he is very hard-working, and he also has a good mind in business, so the shopkeeper Ning brought people up, okay Miss, you can go to the main hall for dinner." Bai Ji stuck a crested hairpin into her head and said.

Glancing at the bronze mirror, Bai Jin got up and asked the maid in the house to accompany him to the main hall.

Generally, breakfast is sent by people from the house, but this time it is rare to go to the main hall, and when Bai Jin arrives, Jingnanhou and his wife are there.

Bai Jin bowed at the door and then entered the hall, and a maid in the main hall led her to sit down.

After a cup of tea, Wei Yan also brought Yun Luan over and sat beside her.

No one spoke in the whole main hall, and when everyone was together, the maids in the house had already come in with large and small plates, more than ten plates were placed on the table with a beat, and the breakfast dishes were readily available, and the maids brought a bowl of fresh porridge with scallops to each person.

Jing Nanhou moved the chopsticks, and Bai Jin picked up the chopsticks when he saw Wei Yan bowing slightly.

Wei Yan's eyes seemed to be in the bowl, but in fact, he paid attention to Bai Jin from time to time, for fear that something would go wrong with this girl.

His worries were completely unnecessary, and he saw her sitting upright in her place, drinking the porridge in small sips, occasionally holding chopsticks to pick up shrimp dumplings, milk steamed buns and other things on the table, quite measured, and the lotus root arm shook and looked more delicious than the breakfast on the table.

"Your father and I still have some places to go, so I'll come back for a two-day stay this time." Seeing that he was almost out of food, Ren spoke.

Jingnanhou also put down the white jade soup spoon and said: "I have no intention of taking care of Jingnan's affairs anymore, and it is your turn to do the position of Jingnanhou, your mother and I thought about it for a while, and decided to succeed to the throne on your wedding day." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Jin.

Ren also glanced at Bai Jin.

A certain porridge drinker who didn't know the truth was a white person: "? ”

Bai Jin, who pretended to be sipping porridge but actually blocked his face, secretly looked at the prince and said, "Why are the Hou Ye and Mrs. looking at me." ”

Wei Yan: "......" what does this make him say?

After finishing the meal, the two of them got up and planned to leave the mansion, but before leaving, the Ren clan still called Bai Jin out.

With the experience of the past, Bai Jin was quite careful to keep a distance from Ren this time.

Ren smiled and said first: "Master Hou and I may have to leave for quite a while, and we may not even be able to get back from Yan'er's marriage." ”

Bai Jin didn't know why Ren wanted to say this, she thought about it and said, "Madam misunderstood, the slave family is just an ordinary peasant girl. ”

"I know," Ren rubbed her head quite gently, "but Yan'er left you in the mansion now, so naturally he has his meaning." ”

Bai Jin defended: "It's the slave family who said it for a year before......

Ren stretched out his index finger and pressed her lips and said: "This is a matter between you, you don't have to talk to me, but the nature of the prince has always been different, and you don't have to take some words to heart." ”

"The slave knows."

Ren pursed his lips and smiled, took off a bracelet on his hand and put it on her hand and said, "This bracelet is given to you, it can be regarded as an apology for yesterday's incident." ”

Bai Jin looked at the silver bracelet and saw that it was not particularly valuable, so he did not shirk and accepted it, and Ren also got into the carriage.

After sending Ren away, Bai Jin didn't bother to go home, and went directly to the money village to remit the silver, and the little guy in the money village gave her a voucher, and the account on it was written as a tea house.

I seem to have an impression of this tea house, but I don't quite remember where I saw it.

Bai Qian had already asked people to clean the store, and Bai Jin also went there after that, and the Mu steward was also there, a rather thin man with a mustache.

She didn't know him, so Steward Mu went to know herself, and just stepped through the door and came over to salute and said, "Master, we have already cleaned this shop." ”

After calculating the time, Bai Qi only called him for an hour, and he led someone to clean the entire shop, twisted the table, spotless, and really had some ability.

"Trouble in charge."

"No trouble." Steward Mu said with a smile, "The slave has already purchased things according to the list you gave, and we will be able to open in five days at the most, but now there are only two thousand catties of salt left in the warehouse, and it will take at least ten days for the new salt to be made, will we open in five days or ten days later?" ”

"Five days from now." Bai Jin said, "You can go to Liu's house to inquire about their salt price in a while, and then open in five days, you only need to sell it at their price." ”

Steward Mu felt a little strange: "Master, we are a newly opened salt shop, and it is opposite the Liu family, this is the same price as theirs, I'm afraid it won't be sold." ”

"What you said is right," Bai Jin nodded, "but even if we directly reduce the price, we may not be able to sell much salt, let's wait for the time being, let's wait for the batch of salt in the salt mill to come out." ”

Steward Mu knew that Bai Jin had his own idea, so he nodded and did so.

To be reasonable, the Liu family is too ruthless to make money, the difference between the price of salt sold and the salt collected is too much, and every ten catties of salt sold can earn one or two, but the guests of the Liu family's salt shop do come and go - even if the price of salt is high, there is only this one salt shop in Jingnan City.

The salt shops in other cities in Jingnan are not much better.

The Yun family was not ruthless to this extent when it became a tribute salt at that time.

Now she was thinking about how to make a name for herself as a salt shop, and how to get Steward Yu to fulfill his promise.

Ning Tonghua went to Pengcheng...... Bai Jin thought about it, or went back and wrote a letter to him and asked him to think of a way.

She was quite attentive to the opening of the salt shop, and for five days in a row, she was either in the Hou Mansion or squatting in the shop watching them tidy up things, and the Liu family salt shop opposite was very puzzled when she saw that the usually withered shop suddenly had people coming in and out.
