Rescue System: Fleeing Host, calm down
Chapter 224 The Current Situation of Linjiang
Cheng Xiaoxiao was confused, but he didn't ask in person. It would be very rude, so he could only eat the meat in silence. Anyway, the fish was cooked well.
"It seems that Miss Di really likes eating fish!" Mr. Bai joked with a smile.
Everyone looked elegant and did not lose their composure because they had not had such a good meal for a long time.
But the cooking speed is not slow.
Cheng Xiaoxiao shyly put a handkerchief in the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Make Grandpa Bai laugh."
"Haha! What's the point? The most indispensable thing in our family is fish. Girl Di, you can eat it with confidence. I will ask the cook to make other flavors tomorrow."
"Really? That's great!" As soon as Cheng Xiaoxiao was overjoyed, he noticed that he had lost his composure and lowered his head in embarrassment.
Mr. Bai was very happy, this child is really good-natured! He is not as gentle as his younger daughter, but he has a free and easy temper, and does not stick to trivial matters. No wonder he is willing to take action. She is a warm-hearted and good girl.
"Well, Grandpa Bai means what he says."
After saying that, he gave the butler a wink.
"Okay, sir." The butler received the order and remembered it in his heart.
"Brother Bai, my granddaughter is used to being a wild child. She is too impulsive and competitive. I hope you can take more care of her."
"No, I think Miss Di has a cheerful and righteous temperament, and a kind and generous nature. She is an excellent girl, unlike these brats in my family, who are all uneasy."
"Brother Bai, you can't say anything."
The business mutual bragging mode was on, and Cheng Xiaoxiao had nothing to do, so he had to find excuses and slip away.
As soon as I stepped out, a cold wind blew in. The temperature outside at noon was now about ten degrees, and it might only be four or five degrees in the morning and night, or even lower.
It’s already so cold even though it’s not even November yet. I don’t know how cold it will be in the future.
I don’t know how I would survive without air conditioning!
Sad!
In the evening, Cheng Xiaoxiao ate in the garden and listened to the system complaining that the young master of the Bai family was being punished in the ancestral hall.
If they hadn't helped, not only would the Bai family's berth be in jeopardy this time, but the damage to their reputation would also have an impact on the business of each store, so right now Mr. Bai is lecturing in the ancestral hall.
Bai Qiuyi knelt in front of the ancestral tablet and lowered his head to admit his mistake. The first and second masters of the Bai family stood aside and listened.
In fact, the population of the Bai family is not complicated. Mr. Bai has three sons and one daughter.
The eldest son is Bai Qiuyi's father Bai Lian, who is the current head of the family. He has two sons and one daughter. The second son is Bai Zheng, a son and a daughter. The third son is a concubine named Bai Xiao and has two sons and two daughters.
The hierarchy among the legitimate concubines of the Bai family is quite strict, and there is no such thing as a concubine being in power and framing the legitimate son.
The third child has no right to speak and is mainly responsible for managing the two farms. The family usually lives on the farm and only returns to the ancestral home when something happens.
However, the daughter of the Bai family is not very successful. She has a bad personality. She is also married to a useless scholar and often goes back to her parents' home to play in the autumn breeze.
Mr. Bai in the ancestral hall has a sad look on his face. Things are getting worse and worse now. Not to mention the suppression of them by the Wang family, the harvest in Zhuangzi is also very poor this year.
In addition, the business of all the shops is not good, and everyone in the yard is saving money, I am afraid this winter will be difficult.
"What do you think of the Di family?"
The second master of the Bai family said excitedly, "Dad, that's a rich man. We have to be more flattering. Maybe the Bai family can turn around with their help."
The uncle of the Bai family disagreed, "Second brother, don't think too much about things. It's just the first time we've met. We don't know the details of the person who came here. How can we make such a decision after only hearing one side of the story?"
The old man also said with emotion, "The boss is right. We must not have the intention to harm others, nor must we have the intention to guard against others. We will observe it for two days. If we have similar interests, it will not be too late to make a decision."
The system complained: "Host, it seems that the Bai family is still on guard against you. We have helped them a lot today. We are really supercilious."
"It is human nature and it is normal to be suspicious. Some people can disregard and abandon friendships that have lasted for decades, not to mention strangers who have only known each other for a day.
The so-called "knowing people but not their hearts" is understandable, and I don't expect to gain their trust in one go. Businessmen all focus on interests and making profits, so things will happen naturally, regardless of human relationships and morality."
If you want to get the certificate and guarantee documents as soon as possible, it is best to change your household registration, otherwise you will be restricted wherever you go.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Bai Qiuyi took the young men of the Di family to visit the bustling streets.
Bai Qiuyi thought he could go with Miss Di, but he didn't expect that only the two young masters and the steward came, with four young men behind him.
He was disappointed in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.
With a professional smile on his face, he led the way out the door.
The Bai family has five shops in the town. In addition to the fish stall, there is also a grocery store, a teahouse and a bookstore.
The worst thing is that the tavern is losing money every month and is about to close down.
These are not profitable industries, and the income is much worse than those of restaurants, brothels, and casinos. Is that why? The Bai family is not as good as the Wang family.
How can a serious business be compared with a hugely profitable industry?
Since the Wang family became the county magistrate, they have had a hand in every hugely profitable industry, reaping the benefits, and their ambitions have grown bigger and bigger.
Along the way, I introduced the two young masters to Linjiang's special food, cultural scenery, and in general everything about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was dressed as a servant, fell behind them and looked around. There were a dazzling array of goods on both sides of the street, selling everything. If it weren't for her different status now, she would have rushed out. There were so many weird things, some
I've only seen them on TV, some of them I've never seen at all.
Due to the large age gap, and both Hu Yixiu and Hu Eryang were carrying items, there wasn't much to talk about. However, Bai Qiu Yihui bought all the items that the two young masters liked.
I went out early in the morning, walked around for a long time, had lunch, and didn't return home until three or four o'clock.
The person Bai Qiuyi longed for was nearby and he didn't realize that he was there. After returning home and watching the two young masters leave, he asked the housekeeper about Miss Di.
Hu Yixiu and Hu Eryang, who hadn't gone far yet, pursed their lips and snickered.
"You guys are itchy, aren't you!" Cheng Xiaoxiao said and was about to take action.
"Don't dare!" The two of them hurriedly ran forward.
Several people laughed and ran away, leaving behind the boy who was leading the way with a puzzled look on his face.
Cheng Xiaoxiao had a general understanding of the current situation in Linjiang County. The people could barely make a living, the merchants who came and went traded a lot of aquatic products, and the wealthy families were content with their prosperity. However, there was serious collusion between government and businessmen, which resulted in imported products not only being expensive but also in high demand.
And it is only in the hands of powerful families, with basically no share for the common people. There are only two or three types of vegetables suitable for growing in the land, and they can only be planted in spring. Therefore, in this season, there are basically no green vegetables on the common people's tables.
