Chapter 1090: Famine, Natural Disasters 247

"There are people around the prince, and I don't need you."

After Mingyi finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Ting.

Zhou Ting chuckled and took her hand, crossed the two grandmothers, and only took Buwei to the inner courtyard; I saw the princess first, and then I went to play.

Get out of the palace.

Outside, a lavish carriage was parked, with four guards armed with swords and a groom standing with his hands down.

Not to move the stool, he said: "Cheng Xiaoniang, please." ”

"Thank you." After thanking him, he walked up to the stool with the support of Zhou Ting, stepped on the carriage seat, and looked back at Zhou Ting; Seeing that he had already stepped on the stool and followed, she would only get in the way if she stopped here, and one bent down into the inner compartment of the carriage.

The location outside the carriage was for the groom, which may be called the outer chamber; It can also be called a seat and a seat.

The two entered the carriage one after the other, closed the door without putting away the stool, and sat on the other side of the seat.

The groom is in charge of driving the car and sits in the most convenient position.

"Let's go." Without giving an order, he turned his head and said through the car door: "Cheng Xiaoniang, where do you want to play?" ”

Mingyi sat in the carriage, ate the prepared fruit, thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the hundred grocery stores in the east of the city first." ”

"Okay." Without laughing, he gave the groom a look.

The groom lowered his eyes, drove the carriage through the boundary of the palace, walked out of the living area of the noble family, and went out less than two streets to the Bai family's grocery store.

When I arrived at the place, I jumped out of the carriage without glancing at the closed shop.

"Lord Shizi, Cheng Xiaoniang, it's time to get there."

"So fast?"

Mingyi opened the car door and looked outside, this place is really prosperous; The crowd of people coming and going, at a glance, 60% of the people are dressed in silk and satin, which shows that the service crowd on this street is all wealthy families.

As for those who are not dressed in the same clothes, most of them come to do business; Of course, there are also people who come to buy things, but there are very few.

Don't bring a stool to move, stretch out your arms, "Cheng Xiaoniang beware." ”

"Thank you, no." Mingyi stepped on the stool and pressed one hand on Buwei's forearm.

Zhou Ting then came down and looked at it unpleasantly; looked inexplicable, and then, I saw his family father talking attentively to Cheng Xiaoniang's side.

"Yiyi, this grocery store is closed, no one is here."

"Of course there is no one, hundreds of grocery stores have changed hands." Mingyi said with a smile: "Some time ago, there was an income in the family, and my grandfather bought three shops; This is one of them, my grandfather put this shop in my name, and I was thinking about what to buy and sell. ”

Zhou Ting understood, "Old Man Cheng is good to you." ”

"That's good." With the double blessing of interests and blood, Cheng Dazhu is really good to her; There is no doubt about this, as long as you are not greedy, this kind of family affection is fine.

"Do you want to do business in the Western Regions?" Zhou Ting stared at her smile and was reluctant to move away.

Mingyi looked up at him, "Your family is doing business in the Western Regions, and I won't be robbing you of business if I do business in the Western Regions; Moreover, my family does not have a convoy to the Western Regions, and I can't do anything about taking advantage of you and robbing your business. ”

"It's okay, let the convoy pull some more things from the Western Regions back; There is no such thing as robbing business, if you want, you can also buy and sell everything they bring back in your shop. ”

The Zhou Wangfu is not bad for this business, and the main purpose of sending people to the Western Regions to do business is to explore the intelligence of the Western Regions; By the way, the purpose of doing business is to open up the passage to the Western Regions in order to find out intelligence.

It doesn't matter if you want it or not.

"Still can't." Mingyi shook her head resolutely and asked instead, "When will your convoy come back?" ”

"They have only been gone for a short time, and it will take more than two months to go back and forth at the earliest." Zhou Tingdao.

By then it will be too late.

Mingyi was thoughtful, she wanted to plant flowers and trees and do other businesses; I can't catch up with the spring season, and the probability of flower and tree inventory is not high, so it's too delayed.

"Chaosheng, I want to plant all kinds of flowers and trees, please help me find some flowers and trees back."

In any case, first find the flowers and trees and plant them, so that you can think about the business related to flowers and trees; The winter in the northwest is too cold, and some flowers and trees cannot survive, so we have to put more effort into the planting of flowers and trees.

"Yes, before the convoy went to the Western Regions this time, I had asked them to bring back some more flower and tree seeds; There are also seeds of various melons and fruits, which will be given to you when the time comes. ”

Zhou Ting said it lightly, and Mingyi listened with pleasure.

Just ask, what is it like to have a love brain confidant?

"Then you don't have to give it all, just give half of it, and we'll divide it equally." His family must have a lot of land that can be planted.

Zhou Ting shook his head, "None of us know how to plant, and most of the seeds and seedlings brought back before can only survive for a month or two before withering and dying; The chance of planting alive is not great, and it is a waste to plant in my hands, so it is better to give it all to you. ”

While pleasing her, maybe she can make a living.

The last batch of seedlings given to her all survived, which shows that her family is very good at planting.

If Mingyi knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say that he was thinking too much; All the seedlings were brought back alive, and although the land she chose was wasteland, it was not really a wasteland that could not be planted. As long as you do a good job of keeping warm and the fertilizer is in place, there is nothing that you can't survive.

"You really don't want it?" Mingyi asked uncertainly.

"It's all for you." Zhou Ting's head was bowed.

Mingyi looked at him regretfully, and the little boy was stupid, "That's okay, if you plant it alive, you can transplant it." ”

She can grow a living, and if he asks, she will definitely say how to keep warm.

Zhou Ting shook his head and smiled, "Okay, I raised a transplanted plant and planted it in the yard, and when I saw them, I could remember the ritual." ”

"Can't you remember me just by looking at what I've grown?" You asked rhetorically.

The little girl's eyes were glinting, and she was dumbfounded and cute.

Zhou Ting smiled dotingly and rubbed her little head, "I can think of you without looking at your things, but the things you have planted are in the yard where I live, and I can think of you more often." ”

"Okay."

was barely satisfied with this answer, but in Zhou Ting's eyes, it was just ignorant and unaware.

"So, what do you want to sell?"

"Let's sell soap for the time being, there are many nobles here, and you can sell the second version of soap." Mingyi looked the area of the shop up and down, "There are two floors above the shop, and you can buy and sell fine skin care products, rouge gouache and other things upstairs. ”

Groceries are sold downstairs and fine items are sold upstairs, but that's a bit nondescript.

Mingyi thought for a moment, overturned his previous thoughts, and changed his tone, "Let's sell rouge gouache, don't sell groceries; Rouge gouache is sold downstairs, and women's businesses can be operated upstairs, such as human massage, beauty and beauty, moxibustion and steaming, etc. ”

Zhou Ting: ???

I only understand beauty and moxibustion, what is hot steaming?
