Chapter 560
Benjamin didn't believe it, so Baochai explained a few of the most common ways to preserve spices. Benjamin listened and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"Lime?" Benjamin exclaimed, "That thing is used to paint the walls!" ”
Baochai covered her mouth and laughed: "Yes, but it absorbs water vapor and keeps warm." It was the most convenient thing to be able to keep the environment dry and warm. It's just that the lime should also be carefully placed and replaced after a while. ”
Yingchun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he shouted: "By the way, when I am at home, I will also put some lime in the warehouse of the big kitchen to avoid moisture." Good sister, you're doing a great job. ”
Baochai had a plan in his heart, and said to Yingchun with a smile: "It's better to be like this, you can study with peace of mind, how about I solve this seasoning matter for you?" ”
Yingchun hurriedly asked: "Sister wants to bring seasonings over?" But the people here are not only how to use the seasonings over there, but they are shipped over, and I'm afraid it's not easy to sell, right? ”
Baochai smiled and said: "This is my business, the second sister just rest assured." You can go to your Cambridge with peace of mind, I promise that within half a year, you will be happy. ”
After speaking, she looked at Daiyu and Tanchun again, and asked with a smile: "A few of you, I'm afraid you're going to go next year, right?" ”
Daiyu and Tanchun nodded with a smile, and Baochai nodded and said, "I used to be a sister in vain, and I didn't do anything for you." Now that you have sent me here, you may return the favor of your aunt so that I can take care of you. ”
The sisters all had a little bit of a good impression of her because of what she said, but the specifics depended on her future performance.
But Baochai really doesn't talk big, since that day, she has often corresponded with Benjamin, and the two muttered and didn't know what to discuss. Baochai disappeared in the morning, and went to London every day to hang out.
At first, the girls were worried about whether she would get lost or cause some trouble because of the language barrier.
But who knows that Baochai is really capable, only going out for a day, he learned a few common words, compared to the hand-in-hand, can also buy things at the stall, and even bargain with others.
After some time, Benjamin came to Baochai, saying that he was about to start loading, and asked Baochai if there was anything he wanted to bring back.
Baochai smiled and said to him: "I will discuss something with you, I don't have a fleet of my own, but I want to use your ship to transport some goods back to sell." ”
Benjamin asked, "What do you ship back, and how do you sell it?" ”
Baochai smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, it's not contraband." It's just women's things, and homely utensils. It's just the same, you go back to my aunt and help me bring a letter, and as for how to sell the goods, she will know after reading the letter. ”
Benjamin asked again: "Then do you have enough principal?" If the amount of this trip is not large, let alone a loss, don't go over there, you can't sell the goods here, that's a loss-making business. ”
Baochai smiled: "I just told you that the lime is moisture-proof, and you forgot it?" I don't have a lot of goods, but half of them are moisture-proof, and when you get there, the damp lime can also come in handy, so you don't have to worry. ”
Benjamin had no choice but to agree and give a separate cabin to Baochai. And asked Baochai: "If you don't go back, who will find the goods for you over there?" Could it be that you just ship it over and not back it? ”
Baochai smiled again: "You will know these when you go, don't worry." ”
Benjamin didn't ask much when he heard this, and Baochai's goods this time were really not much, and he didn't need much principal. This batch of ships was quickly loaded, and after another half a year, they arrived at Xing Shuang, who couldn't help but laugh after reading the letter.
"She's so smart."
Benjamin's curious intestines were about to twist into a ball, and it was hard to ask what Baochai said in the letter.
Seeing him like that, Xing Shuang said with a smile: "In the future, her goods will also be sold by me, but the accounts will be separated, and she will let me make a full five percent of the profit." ”
Benjamin grew his mouth and said, "Five cents? It's such a big Haikou, so is there any money to be made? ”
Xing Shuang hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled: "What she wants to earn is not this money, but she just eats some profits and gets more capital." Fortunately, the things she wants are not expensive. ”
Benjamin asked, "What did she want?" ”
Xing Shuang handed over the letter with a smile: "Look for yourself." ”
Benjamin took the letter and looked at it, and saw that in addition to the spices, it was Oriental silk, which made him a little puzzled.
"Didn't you say that silk is not easy to sell?"
Xing Shuang pointed to the letter again: "You take a closer look." ”
Benjamin looked again and saw that the letter was written with silk thread, not silk.
"What's the use of this silk thread?"
Benjamin was even more confused, silk thread in England was just used to sew clothes. Silk thread is not a scarce thing, what does Baochai want to do?
Xing Shuang didn't answer Benjamin's words, but muttered: "With just a silk thread, she has to train people alone, which is troublesome." It seems that you have to buy a few embroidery girls to send over, preferably those who are not old and have strong receptivity.
"By the way, her maid, do you have to send it to her too?"
Benjamin saw that his wife had no time to pay attention to him, so he retreated in a daze and went to Jia Cong.
Jia Cong listened to Benjamin's words here, and said with a smile: "You don't care what you do, it's good if you bring it to you." By the way, my wife is about to give birth, and you didn't participate in my nephew's washing last time, when are you going to stay this time? ”
Benjamin was surprised: "So fast? That's right, it's been almost eight months since I left last time. ”
As she was talking, Zhen Yinglian came in with her stomach and said, "Benjamin just came, so you just pulled him to talk, and you didn't go to say hello to your brother." Your sister-in-law is still waiting for news from Miss Bao, so she should go and see it. ”
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I'm about to go, are you bored, do you want to call your sister-in-law to accompany you?" ”
Zhen Yinglian covered her mouth and smiled: "Where is it to suffocate me, she only came yesterday, can I miss her today?" But she always talked about Miss Bao, afraid that she would know that Benjamin was coming, and she would be worried about it, so she urged you to pass. ”
Benjamin came over and saluted, looked at Zhen Yinglian's stomach and exaggerated: "It's so big, will it hurt?" ”
Zhen Yinglian also said distressedly: "My belly is really bigger, and the doctor said that it was a twin, and it was unlucky to be a twin." But the wife is happy, saying that twins are rare. ”
Jia Cong came over and hugged his wife and said with a smile: "Don't worry, our family doesn't have those taboos." It's just that the old lady is a little worried, but is she also persuaded by her mother? Wait for the day with peace of mind, if you don't want to see us here, let's also go to England to find my father and sisters. ”
Zhen Yinglian glanced at her husband: "What you said is light, there are fewer and fewer people in this house, how can we get out without waiting for my sisters to come back?" ”
