The gold and silver that Bai Song brought to Dongying was limited, and it was only enough to open one or two dojos for them.

The return cycle of this kind of Go dojo is very long, and Bai Song can't always support it secretly.

Besides, Bai Song still has a group of men who follow him to feed, and now they can't solve the problem of food and clothing at all with the income from selling tea.

So while helping the old apprentice, I also have to find another way out.

In order to solve the short-term life problem, Bai Song took a pair of shoes from the space.

Bai Song noticed that the Dongying people in this era still wore bast shoes and straw sandals, and did not see clogs.

Clogs were introduced to Japan from China and became increasingly popular.

Now the timing is wrong, but the living habits should be the same, and what can be popular in a hundred years should have no problem appearing a hundred years earlier.

So Bai Song gave the model of the clogs to the people under his hands, and asked the people under his hands to find craftsmen to produce them in batches, and then sell them on the streets of Kyoto.

I want to see if there is a market for this thing in Dongying.

The clogs were just a gadget invented, and Bai Song didn't put more thought into it.

Now it's more important to help Muzhi open a store.

After returning from the dojo, Kizhi first went to contact the owner of the target shop, but the reply he received was disappointing.

The other party does not intend to rent out the shop and sell it, and there is no intention of negotiating.

Mu Zhi is just a chess player, with no experience in negotiating business, and he has no idea after hitting a wall for the first time.

After knowing the situation, Bai Song also felt that he was not thinking about it, so he shouldn't let Mu Zhi operate it himself.

But he couldn't come forward directly now, so he asked Xiao Kui as a representative, and he pretended to be Xiao Kui's subordinates to contact the owner of the shop again.

After a day of preparation, Aoi waited early at the gate of the annex.

Bai Song changed into a simple outfit and went to the door, he didn't take Bai Rou with him today, and when he went out alone, he subconsciously looked at where the carriage was.

Suddenly, I realized that I was in Dongying, and there didn't seem to be such a thing as a carriage here.

Fortunately, Kyoto is not big, and even if you go all over the city, you won't be able to walk for long.

In the early morning, the main street of Kyoto is full of cherry blossoms, and there is a hint of drizzle, and the petals are morbidly gentle in the rain, just like the whole country, giving people a strange feeling.

The street is very clean and clear, and there is an indescribable romance when walking side by side with a girl.

But this is only the appearance, as long as you turn an eye and press the alley facing the street, you can see mess and dirt everywhere.

Today, Bai Song has carefully observed this Kyoto, where every flower, grass, scene and object reflects everyone here.

Although Xiao Kui pretended to be Bai Song's employer today, she was quiet all the way.

She didn't bother Bai Song's observation, just silently accompanyed.

There has always been this faint gratitude in Xiaokui's heart, I want to thank you, but I don't know how to say it, and sometimes looking at that handsome face, I can't help but feel a little flustered in my heart.

I even sometimes wonder if the other party didn't recognize my identity last time in the art gallery, or if the other party had a little bit of bad intentions, would my heart be calmer at the moment?

The pilot of the chess academy has arrived.

And the shop next to the chess courtyard pilot is a pharmacy.

Bai Song stood at the door, wanting to go in directly.

Xiao Kui grabbed Bai Song: "Childe, it's not here." ”

"That's what I'm talking about."

"Not the one on the left, but the one on the right."

"The ...... on the right"

The left and right sides of the chess courtyard pilot are shops, and the idea on the right is a family art museum.

"Why not the one on the left?" Bai Song frowned.

"Because behind this pharmacy is the Chess Academy, which is a pharmacy opened by the Chess Academy."

As soon as Bai Song heard it, he understood, since it was a pharmacy in the chess academy, of course the other party would not sit idly by and watch a competitor appear.

It seems that if you want to be next to the chess courtyard, you must choose this art hall.

The art hall in front of me also looks a little strange, first of all, there is no signboard, and secondly, there is no girl at the door to solicit customers.

It looked deserted, more deserted than all the art halls I'd seen before.

Xiaokui introduced: "The location of this art shop is on the main street, which seems to be too conspicuous, so business has not been good. But I don't know why, but the owner has always refused to close the shop, and it stands to reason that it should be a good thing for us to rent his shop. ”

With a bit of curiosity, Bai Song entered the art hall.

Upon entering, it was found that the art shop did not seem to be open at all, and there was not a single girl in sight, only a half-aged white-faced woman yawning gracefully at the counter.

"I talked to her yesterday." Xiaokui said.

"With her?"

Bai Song was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that this person didn't look like the owner no matter how he looked at it.

This is clearly an old bustard watching the scene.

That old apprentice is too unreliable, how can there be results from talking to this person?

Knowing that you are going to rent a shop and do something else, won't she be unemployed?

Of course, this man told you that he didn't have to talk about it.

"In the past, I asked what the situation was, not to say that we were going to change to other businesses, just to say that we were ready to invest and wanted to meet the boss behind her."

Xiao Aoi nodded and went up to communicate with the other party.

After some exchange, the half-aged woman went out happily.

"She's going to call the owner."

"What did you tell her? Why are you so happy? ”

"All the girls here are gone, and I said we have girls, but we don't have a proper restaurant. She was very happy to hear that a new girl was coming in. ”

Bai Song nodded, not paying much attention to this statement.

The two waited in the post house for a long time, and the owner behind the post house finally appeared.

To Bai Song's surprise, the owner was actually a young woman, a kimono in a white dress and a red dress, with thick makeup on her face, and a pair of natural charming eyes, which was very attractive.

Holding a white jade cigarette gun in his hand, he spit out a mouthful of tobacco when he entered the door, and a strong smell of smoke choked Xiaokui and coughed all the time.

Bai Song was a little stunned, and said in his heart, what is the situation?

There's already been a lot of smoke this year?

And Xiao Aoi inadvertently shrank back after coughing, and her expression became a little more serious, as if she knew this young woman.

"Who is this?" Bai Song asked.

"Miss Toka...... The richest man in Dongying...... As early as three years ago, she began to trade with Datang, and she never left her cigarettes, which is her biggest characteristic. I didn't expect that the owner behind this art studio would be her! ”

Xiao Aoi's eyes widened and she said with a blank look.

"The richest man in Dongying?" Bai Song was a little stunned, "It's actually such a young woman?" ”

"Who should I be, it turned out to be an envoy of the Tang Dynasty. Even more handsome than rumored! ”

The girl in front of her spoke fluent Chinese, with a coastal accent, and her voice was crisp and soft, as seductive as her eyes.

Bai Song deliberately dressed up, but he didn't expect to be recognized at a glance, so he simply stopped pretending, and said with a faint smile: "The girl really has good eyesight." ”
