Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

The next morning, Kong Dai came to find Su Bai. He was going up the mountain to see if Su Bai had any instructions.

Su Bai asked him to go to Linhua first to arrange the matters of the big carriage inn. Su Bai also called Xu Tianyi and asked him to go to Linhua with Su Bai.

Xu Tianyi's trip to Linhua was not his final destination. Instead, he took a bus from Linhua to Qingdao and then to Shanghai to return the five gold bars that he had borrowed from Manager Wan.

"There's no need to be so anxious to pay back the money, right?" Xu Tianyi asked.

"If this is the gold bar of Shopkeeper Wan and his son, we can return it to him in a few days, but this is something Shopkeeper Wan borrowed for us, so we should return it as soon as possible. Anyway, there is nothing to do at home these days, so you can go and come back quickly."

"Do you want to..." Kong Dai pointed towards the back wall.

"Don't touch them." Su Bai thought Kong Dai was asking Yang Huasen whether he should kill those people who were monitoring Su Bai in the backyard after entering Longxing.

Su Bai thought it would be better not to touch them and pretended not to know the existence of this group of people.

But that’s not what Kong Dai meant. He was talking about Liu Yimiao.

Should we notify Liu Yiyan and ask him to cooperate with Yang Huasen in the action?

Su Bai curled his lips and said, "Liu Yi only has a dozen people in total, what's the use?"

On second thought, as long as Yang Huasen is willing to take him out to play, let him go.

There is also an army supply depot in Longxing City. Although it is much smaller than the one in Linhua, Liu Yiyan can still make some money from it. Su Bai once thought that if one day Liu Yiyan is in financial difficulty, he will inevitably ask him to sponsor him with some money and food.

If Su Bai could get some things from Kong Li's arsenal, it would be a saving for him.

"He won't have a conflict with Yang Huasen over grabbing supplies, right?" Su Bai asked.

"No, if the two of them go down the mountain together, they will definitely discuss everything in advance."

"Okay," Su Bai agreed, "Then Uncle Kong will go to Zuihuayuan to find Xiao Chunhong and ask her to send a message to the mountain. You can't go to Yang Huasen and Liu Yiyan by yourself, right? That will take a lot of time."

"There's no rush for this." Kong Dai meant that if Yang Huasen and Liu Yimiao joined forces, it would take half a day just to discuss the division of the spoils. It would also take him half a day to go up the mountain from Linhua. By the time they actually took action, it would take at least two days.

"Forget it. You should let Xiao Chunhong handle Liu Yiyan's case. I'm worried about you running all over the mountains at your age. Your body won't be able to handle it. "

"Okay." Kong Dai agreed.

Xu Tianyi said: "Then Erzhu and I will go to Linhua to wait for you."

The task of transporting the goods back from the cart shop will ultimately be handed over to Gao Erzhu, and we will take him with us when we set off later.

"What are you waiting for me to do? I'll just say a few words to Zuihuayuan, and then we'll go together." Kong Dai didn't understand the hidden meaning in Xu Tianyi's words.

"Uncle Kong, have you ever been to a brothel? Have you ever left after saying a few words? You should at least stay in Xiaochun's red room for an hour, right?"

What Xu Tianyi said was a bit dirty, but it made complete sense.

If you want to act, you have to act the whole thing.

"I haven't been there, but you must be there often!" Kong Dai was a little angry.

"Let's do this. What Tianyi said makes sense. You just stay in Xiaochunhong's room for a while." As soon as Su Bai said this, Kong Dai had no choice but to agree.

This caught Xu Tianyi's attention: "Uncle Kong, you are using public funds to visit a brothel. From now on, Xiao Chunhong will be yours!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Dai's series of kicks hit Xu Tianyi's butt.

Kong Dai's face turned gloomy, but Xu Tianyi was still laughing. He left the house with a mixture of anger and joy, and called Gao Erzhu before leaving.

Su Bai asked Zi Yan to go to the street to see if there was a suitable shop to rent. If the price was not expensive, she could also buy one. Since they were going to sell goods under a pretext, they might as well do it in a more formal way.

After settling these things, Su Bai went through the tunnel and headed straight into Li's Mansion.

While instructing Niu Yanzi on the operation, he started to make ammonia water using ammonium chloride and caustic soda.

When Su Bai learned from Gao Hu that the Linhua Military Hospital was out of morphine, he decided to make a batch. Extracting morphine from opium is simpler and much faster than producing penicillin.

Making ammonia water is the first step in extracting morphine from opium. Niu Yanzi is working on penicillin on the side, while I am working on morphine here. Niu Yanzi can ask any questions she has at any time.

This is called beating the child on a rainy day. You can just sit there and do nothing, and it won’t interfere with anything else.

I don't know who invented this idiom, but it means beating a child on a rainy day means the child is unlucky enough.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for dinner again. When Su Bai went back to the backyard of Kong Mansion from Li Mansion, Zi Yan also came back.

Things went smoothly. I saw a shop for sale diagonally opposite Zuihuayuan. It was for sale and not for rent. The price was 50 yuan.

Zi Yan thought this place was very suitable. Not only was it close to Zuihuayuan, but it was also next to the inn where Kong Dai stayed when he secretly helped Yang Huasen contact his subordinates to mutiny two months ago.

There is a small courtyard behind the shop, with a main house and two small side rooms. The main house can be used for living, and the side rooms can be used as warehouses.

"Okay, let's buy it. Ask someone to tidy up the storefront and make a sign. Call it..." Su Bai thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it Kong's Modern Business Company."

The word "modern" can be seen everywhere on the streets of Shanghai. This word is originally a transliteration of a foreign word, meaning fashionable and popular.

What we sell are goods that are considered immoral by old-fashioned people, so this name is in line with the characteristics of the current era.

Zi Yan raised an objection. We have already separated from the Kong family, so why should we put the Kong family in front? Why not just call it Su's Modern Trading Company?

"Okay, you go ahead. When you're done, I'll go find County Magistrate Cheng and get a license."

Stinky tofu cannot be sold in a fashion store as it would ruin the view. Zi Yan also has plans and plans to let Yuan Yuze rent a small stall in the market to sell it.

Su Bai realized that in this way, Zi Yan's leading position in the pharmaceutical industry in his hands would be weakened. Fortunately, Niu Yanzi was also very smart.

It's difficult to have everything at once. In order to bring out Zi Yan's talent for business, she should always have someone outside so that she can immediately report any news on the street. Also, when people like Zhou Beiwang and Liu Yiyan need help, they will have a point of contact.

"When will our goods arrive?" Zi Yan was a little impatient. It seemed that she liked doing business more than making medicine.

"Why rush? Remember this, we're just opening this business for show. Don't be in a hurry to sell out all the goods at once. The faster the goods sell, the more frequently we'll have to restock. We don't have that many people busy with this all day long!"

"What does frequency mean?" Zi Yan asked, and then started mumbling again. After purchasing the goods, she had to sell them slowly. This kind of business was not easy to do.

"By the way, Madam, I saw Butler Kong!" Zi Yan said. Just when she found the landlord to look at the house and discuss the purchase, she saw Kong Dai coming out of Zuihua Courtyard and walking west along the wall.

Judging from the time, Kong Dai stayed in Zuihuayuan for at least an hour.

"Madam, do you think that the butler and Xiao Chunhong will turn their fake play into reality?" Zi Yan suddenly asked.

"It's none of your business, don't ask!"
