Chapter 61: Panic
Early the next morning, Ren Baqian took the clothes that had just been washed and dried and put them on his body and tried them, and they were not bad, although there was no mirror, but he could feel quite close.
A handyman mother-in-law who helps change clothes, the handiwork is quite good.
After trying on his clothes, he changed them, lest the guys who were not light, heavy, and heartless rub his paw prints again.
I don't know when I'll be able to send a change of official uniform.
I had nothing to do to find the vine gourd iron knife Kan Mountain, and listened to them tell the story of the military advisor for a long time.
Ren Baqian has not been chasing stars since kindergarten, it is too naΓ―ve. Now I worship that military advisor like a star-chasing fan, and even some small stories about him can be listened to with relish.
There are many smart people in history, and there are many famous people through the ages, but there are few people like him.
It's a pity that neither of them knows his name, only the surname Qi, and it seems that his name was rarely mentioned at that time, so not many people know it now.
It is said that there is also a portrait of him in the palace, which was painted by a person of the ancient clan who is very artistic. Ren Baqian really wanted to have a chance to see what it was like.
Thinking of those scrolls and books in the Pure Heart Palace, Ren Baqian felt that there was probably one there.
After eating at noon, Ren Baqian changed his clothes and walked into the palace, and let him in after showing the sign in front of the door.
Ren Baqian entered the palace and looked at the brand in his hand, it seems that the brand is really useful, and the palace can enter and exit at will?
Such a person of unknown origin can actually give this thing to himself.
But thinking about the empress's combat effectiveness, Ren Baqian felt that the other party would certainly not take himself seriously. Even if you stuff the knife into your own hand, it's not enough for the other party to pinch it.
All the way to the Qingxin Palace, I saw that Lin Qiaole was sitting on the stone steps in front of the door with his chin in his hand in a daze, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and Ren Baqian couldn't figure out whether she was sleeping or sleeping or sleeping now.
"Lin classics. Ren Baqian walked not far from her and said hello, and when he saw that she didn't react at all, he shook his head and stopped disturbing her, letting her be immersed in the dream.
When I entered the Qingxin Palace, I saw another book on the table, this time it was a leather booklet, and I don't know how many years it had been there, but it looked quite old anyway.
Ren Baqian picked it up and flipped through it, there were dozens of words on a page, and each word was like a painting.
However, there are a few characters that are similar to Chinese characters, such as three, day, cloud, and king, but I don't know if the meaning is the same.
There are also several pictures interspersed in the middle, which are people doing various actions.
"Exercise cheats?" Ren Baqian suddenly had this idea in his heart, and he suddenly became hot.
Even if you can't become a master like the empress, it's good to be able to keep fit, you don't have to go out and see anyone have to give way, it's a person who can beat him eight with one hand, it's really detrimental to the dignity of a man.
It's a pity that I really don't recognize the words on it, and many of the words look similar, and I can't even remember them.
After half a ring, Ren Baqian reluctantly put the booklet back on the table. It seems that it is better to wait until after learning words.
When it was almost evening, Ren Baqian was called into the temple again and told the story for a while.
When he was about to leave, the voice of the empress suddenly sounded in his ears: "Are you going to disappear again tomorrow?"
Ren Baqian came down in a cold sweat directly.
As if he had been hit by petrification magic, he turned around with difficulty, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Your Majesty's eyes are like pearls, things are like gods, you are wise, you are far-sighted, you are in your hands, your ministers are afraid, and you are obedient." β
"Panic is real, but it's hard to say anything else. The empress said coldly. "Forget it, I said that as long as you do your best, I won't ask. Let's go down. β
Ren Baqian was beaten, and then fled out of the palace like an amnesty. After leaving the palace, he let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat on his head.
After a moment of hard work, my back was soaked again.
After going through the empress's words in my head, I'm afraid that the sentence of dedication is what the empress wants to say.
The matter of the salt well still has to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
With the merits of well salt and sweet potato, I guess my head can be more stable.
Shrugged his head all the way and thought as he walked, in the darkness he hit a wall directly and took two steps back, only to look up and see that the wall was a stone steward.
"What's wrong? Look at you absent-mindedly. The stone steward asked, startling a group of birds around him.
Ren Baqian took two more steps back before he sorted out his mind and said, "It's nothing, just thinking about something, how is the shaved ice shop?"
Speaking of this, Steward Shi immediately became happy, and after taking two steps forward and slapping Ren Baqian down, he laughed and said, "Brother Ren, it's amazing, haha." Do as you say, the store has been busy for the past two days. β
Ren Baqian rubbed his shoulders and grinned, just when he wanted to dodge, he didn't dodge. Steward Shi is much faster than himself.
"Business is good, but don't shoot me. Ren Baqian saw that the stone steward's palm was raised again, and he hurriedly jumped out like a rabbit.
Steward Shi laughed a few more times, and he could see that he was really happy in his heart, so he stretched out his slap to Ren Baqian and said, "I can sell one or two hundred bowls every day for the past two days, and it is a shop." β
A bowl of five cents, a million is five taels of silver, that is to say, it can be sold for seven or eight taels of silver a day, and the profit accounts for at least sixty percent, that is, you can earn more than four or five taels a day, and there are one hundred taels in a month.
The sum of the two shops is one hundred and sixty taels, and each of the two sides can still have eighty taels in the account, for the stone steward who only has six taels per month, it is worth his year's salary, no wonder he is so happy.
However, Ren Baqian's attention was all on Steward Shi's slap, and he couldn't figure out what his five fingers had to do with one or two when he racked his brains. Could it be that all the people of Dayao are so virtuous? When you compare the numbers, all five fingers are stretched out?
After listening to Steward Shi's words, Ren Baqian nodded slightly, making money was what he expected, even a little less than he expected. After all, Dayao is so hot, this kind of shaved ice must be easy to sell.
Some pedestrian streets in Huaguo make a lot of money selling ice cream for a month, not to mention that the weather here is hotter, and it is still an exclusive business. Waiting for word of mouth to spread, Ren Baqian estimates that it can sell more.
Until the secret of saltpeter was discovered.
"Hire two more people, I guess this business will last for a while. Ren Baqian said.
"Listen to you. Now that he saw the money, Steward Shi suddenly became arrogant, and Ren Baqian did what he said, and he was not worried at all.
"Remember that saltpeter ice still needs to be made by your own people, and try to leak it out as late as possible. β
