Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly
Chapter 30 Explain family background
Facing Bai Ye's three consecutive questions, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "I just bought it and plan to try planting it. If the yield is good, it will be a good thing." After saying that, he rolled his eyes and looked at Bai Ye and said, "You seem to be very concerned about the food problem."
Bai Ye said seriously: "Xiao He, actually I have something to tell you today." Seeing Chu Qinghe looking at him, he continued: "I told you my name is Bai Ye, but actually this is an alias I use for convenience when I am outside. My real name is Baili Ye, and my mother's surname is Bai, so I call myself Bai Ye outside. I didn't mean to deceive you." After saying that, he looked at Qinghe, afraid of making her angry.
"Oh, I can understand this. Then who are the people in your family? Baili is the national surname in Dasheng, right?" Wenwan Chu Qinghe stared at Bai Ye, oh, no, Baili Ye, hoping that he could give her an answer.
Baili Ye looked at this clever girl and told her that she could guess his identity with just his surname. "I am the current fifth prince Baili Ye. My brother Baili Ting is the current crown prince. There will be a war at the border soon. Our food supplies were intercepted on the way. I suspect there is a traitor in the army. I appeared in Tailai County this time to buy food supplies and to investigate the matter. I didn't expect to be chased on the way and meet you."
As he said this, a smile spread across his face: “Luckily I met you.”
"Yes, if you hadn't met me, you would have died long ago." As he spoke, he reached out and touched Baili Ye's handsome face. Baili Ye pulled her into his arms and leaned over. The scene that had appeared countless times in his dreams finally became a reality at this moment. It was a different feeling, but just as beautiful. At this moment, Baili Ye was immersed in it, sighing in his heart that he could never let go of this girl for the rest of his life.
I tried it at first, tasted it lightly, and still felt unsatisfied, so I went deeper and deeper. The sweetness of the milk and the fragrance of the honey were not as satisfying as holding someone in my arms at this moment.
When Chu Qinghe was about to suffocate, Baili Ye let go of Qinghe, touched his lips with his finger and chuckled: "Little fool, breathe."
Chu Qinghe's face instantly turned red. She never expected that she, a modern person, would spend the whole day watching TV and cuddling with people around her. She thought she was a hawker, but who knew that her cultivation was so shallow. She still needed to practice.
"How could you suddenly kiss me? As an ancient person, don't you know not to look at or touch anything indecent?"
"I just know that it's rude not to reciprocate. Xiao He kissed me yesterday, so of course I had to return the kiss." He said it confidently, and you couldn't tell at all that his ears were blushing.
Not wanting to argue about this issue, Chu Qinghe quickly changed the subject: "How long can you stay here? Are you leaving soon?"
"Now the people in the army think that I am missing. My deputy general is in charge of military affairs. I will investigate secretly and can stay here for a while."
"That's great. Let me tell you about corn. I've cooked this grain before and I know how to cook it in many different ways. It tastes great. If we can grow it well and get a good harvest, it can solve a lot of our food problems."
“It would be even better if it could be popularized nationwide.”
"Wait a minute. I'm hiring people to open up the wasteland. Once the land is cleared, we can plant crops right away and harvest a season's worth of crops. If the results are good, we can cultivate seeds and plant them on a large scale."
"Thank you, Xiaohe. I will report to my father and give you a commendation."
"What's the reward?"
"It's a pity that you are not a man, otherwise you will definitely be promoted, but you will also need gold, silver and jewelry."
When thinking of gold, silver and jewelry, Chu Qinghe's mind was filled with big, golden ingots, and she was extremely satisfied.
After agreeing with Baili Ye to bring corn for food tomorrow, Chu Qinghe went downstairs to find the shopkeeper Shi.
I confirmed with Shopkeeper Shi that the goods would be delivered tomorrow. When I was about to leave, Shopkeeper Shi said:
"He girl, a man named Zhao Hu from the dental office left a message yesterday saying that he has found news about the house he found for you and asked you to go take a look when you are free."
"Okay, thank you. Thank you, Manager Shi."
After leaving Yuelai Restaurant, Qinghe did not go to find Zhao Hu immediately, but took the handkerchief embroidered by Qin to Linglong Pavilion.
When Sister Linglong saw Qinghe coming, she greeted her warmly and looked her up and down. "Qinghe looks better every time she comes, especially the dress she's wearing today. She looks really nice."
"Thank you, Sister Linglong. This is a dress I designed myself and made by my mother herself." Qinghe also said with a smile.
"I brought some handkerchiefs today. See how much you can charge for them?" Qinghe took out the handkerchiefs that Qin had made in recent days and showed them to Linglong.
Sister Linglong took the handkerchief and looked at it. She found that this embroiderer had charged this fee before. "This embroiderer used to charge ten cents. The fabrics are better now, so a handkerchief costs twenty cents."
After listening to this, Qinghe remembered that the handkerchiefs embroidered by her mother were all sold by Chu Qingmei. She charged four cents for each handkerchief. Doesn't that mean Chu Qingmei embezzled six cents for each handkerchief? She really had a good calculation.
When Sister Linglong was checking out, a few guests came in. They seemed to be a master and his servant.
"Miss Tang is here. What would you like to buy today? We have new ready-made clothes, new handkerchiefs, and new fabrics in our store. They are cool and comfortable to wear in the summer."
"We are going to the city to attend a birthday party in a while, and we want to choose some clothes, so we came here to see if there is anything suitable." Miss Tang glanced at the dresses in the store, and her eyes lit up when she saw Qinghe.
"Is the dress this girl is wearing from your store? I really like this style." Tang Yuyan liked it more and more the more she looked at it. She walked up to Qinghe and asked Cui Linglong while looking at her.
Cui Linglong's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. These were not clothes from her home, but Miss Tang spent at least two or three hundred yuan a month with her. She couldn't let the money slip away from her hands. She hesitated and didn't know how to answer. She looked at Qinghe hesitantly.
Qing He understood, glanced over, turned around, took out a bundle from his backpack, put it on the counter and opened it:
"Ms. Tang, this is the new style that the store has today. In addition to the one I'm wearing, there are three more styles. Do you like them?"
As the bundle was opened, several styles of clothes came into view. They were pink, emerald green, and light purple. The styles were novel and had never been seen before, making people unable to take their eyes away.
She was wearing a pink pomegranate skirt, with auspicious clouds dotted with flowers, and a white veil on the outside, which made her look mysterious, elegant, and noble.
She is wearing an emerald green skirt with elegant flowers winding upward from the hem, like a spring garden with all things blooming with vitality.
A light purple dress with white lilies embroidered on it. The white is tinged with red, and it exudes elegance in romance. I want to own every piece of it.
"I want all these clothes. Do you have three colors for each style? I'll take them all." Cui Linglong was also shocked. Three colors for each style means nine pieces of clothes. In the past, each piece of clothes cost thirty taels. These clothes can be sold for fifty taels. Nine pieces will cost four hundred and fifty taels. If this were her own store, today's income would be equal to half a month's income. She didn't expect that Miss Chu's clothes would sell so well. Cui Linglong felt mixed emotions.
"Ms. Tang, these clothes are samples. They were originally meant to be hung in the store for customers to use as a reference when ordering. If you want them, we will make them for you again. It will take half a month to make nine sets of clothes. I wonder if you can wait."
"Sure. How much are these clothes?" Miss Tang asked. Qinghe looked at Cui Linglong and asked her to set the price.
"Ms. Tang is an old customer of our store. Although it is a new model, we cannot charge you a high price. We will give you a discount of 50 taels per piece, 450 taels in total for nine sets. You can pay a deposit of 100 taels first."
"Bilian, give me the money." Miss Tang paid the deposit without blinking.
Seeing Miss Tang so arrogant, Qinghe naturally couldn't miss this good opportunity to make money. He took out another bundle from the backpack, opened it and took out a bra and panties. Each bra and panties were matched. He introduced the function and quality of the underwear to Miss Tang, and borrowed the inner hall of Linglong Pavilion to try it on. After Miss Tang asked her maid Bilian to try it on, she saw that the effect on her breasts was immediate. The panties were also very fit and comfortable after putting them on. They were firm and sexy and charming that her underwear had never been before. Miss Tang blushed and liked it shyly. She liked every set of underwear and bought all five sets of underwear. She actually gave twenty taels for one set of underwear, and made a hundred taels for five sets of underwear.
After agreeing on the delivery time, Miss Tang left happily.
As soon as Miss Tang left, Cui Linglong gave Qinghe a thumbs up.
"Qinghe, you are amazing. You have earned 550 taels of silver in such a short time. Your clothes are of such good styles and quality. Can we talk about cooperation?" Qinghe laughed in his heart when he heard it.
"Okay, Sister Linglong, how would you like to cooperate?"
"How about you sell me the design of the clothes and I'll buy it out in one go?" Cui Linglong hurriedly expressed her thoughts, but her heart was filled with anxiety.
"Sister Linglong, to be honest, I am looking for someone to cooperate with. It is better to do business with someone familiar than with someone new. We are acquainted. I treat you as a friend, so I can discuss cooperation with you first. You have also seen the styles and prices of these clothes today. I will continue to update the styles of clothes in the future, and new clothes will not have trouble selling. I could have opened a clothing store myself, but I am a lazy person, so I am looking for you to cooperate with me. After deducting the cost of the clothes sold, we will split the profits 50-50. What do you think?"
After Qing He finished speaking, Cui Linglong's eyes widened. She couldn't believe that someone had sent her money. She immediately stepped forward and held Qing He's hand, saying affectionately, "Qing He, you are such a lovely girl. Thank you, sister. It's just that the share ratio is a bit too high. It's good enough for me to take 10% of the profit."
"Sister Linglong, I want to cooperate with you because you have a ready-made embroiderer here to make clothes, but I want to bring people from our village to make clothes together to increase the villagers' income; on the other hand, I have to rely on you for store management and sales. I plan to sell clothes to the county, prefecture, and even the capital, and I will have to trouble you to help me, so it's 50-50."
Listening to Qinghe's plan, Cui Linglong couldn't help but admire him. At such a young age, he has such a strong ability to design clothes and can also give up his interests for others. It has to be said that he has a big vision and is a person who can do great things. Faced with such a person, Cui Linglong also secretly made up her mind to follow Qinghe in the future. It was because of this decision that Cui Linglong made a fortune in the future.
At that moment, the two signed the contract, each party held a copy, and went to the government office to make a backup copy, and the cooperation was reached.
Qinghe took out several new patterns, including different styles for men, women, the elderly and children, and gave them to Cui Linglong. Different fabrics were used for different consumer groups, so that every beauty-loving woman could wear the clothes she wanted. Men, children and the elderly could also feel the comfort of new clothes. Before the new products were launched, the drawings were hung in the store for promotion.
After agreeing to deliver the fabric tomorrow, Qing He drove her donkey cart to the shop to find Zhao Hu. When Zhao Hu saw Qing He, he immediately came up to greet her warmly: "Miss Chu, I've been waiting for you. Yesterday, I received a few new houses. I went to have a look. The location and layout are both very good. I told Yue Lai Restaurant about it. Let's go take a look today. If you like them, we can decide as soon as possible."
"Go and have a look."
Qinghe went to see houses with Zhao Hu. One was on West Street. Most of the people living here were ordinary people. There were many businesses around. The house had one entrance and a good layout, but Qinghe thought it was a bit small and not facing the street. The asking price was 200 taels. Before they decided, they went to see another one. This house was on East Street, with two entrances. The environment was elegant and the layout was reasonable. The first entrance was the gatehouse, and next to it was the stable. There were five main rooms, two east and west wing rooms, and a kitchen and a toilet. Except for the stable, the second entrance was basically the same as the previous layout. The original owner also carefully designed a small garden with rockery and flowing water, and a reasonable Feng Shui layout.
Qinghe liked the house as soon as she saw it. The key point was that the house had good facilities nearby. It only took a quarter of an hour to walk to the government office and Qingshan Academy. If she lived in the town in the future, it would be very convenient for Qingyue to go to school. The only drawback was that there was no street-side shop.
After some bargaining, Qinghe finally bought it for 450 taels of silver. Both parties signed a contract and the payment was made. Then he went to see a shop with Zhao Hu. Coincidentally, there was a pastry shop across from Yuelai Restaurant that was no longer in business. It had two floors and a yard with a well and kitchen. The second floor could be used for living. If a shop was opened in the future, people could live in the shop. So he bought it for 400 taels of silver. He also used 100 taels of silver to buy a warehouse to store grain and goods in the future.
After finishing his business, Qinghe strolled along the street to see what businesses were going on. Although this town was not big, it had a dock connecting several towns, so the flow of people was still large. It was a good choice to do business here. As they walked, they unexpectedly arrived near Baihua Tower. Several young men dressed as scholars came out of the building, each with panda eyes and trembling legs. They walked arm in arm and teased as they walked, "Brother Chu, did you have a good time last night? Was Miss Chunhong very exciting, charming, and irresistible?"
"Brother Tan is right. Next time we come, it would be romantic even if we die under the peony flowers. If I didn't have to study, I would really like to stay in Baihua Tower every day!"
Several people left with laughter, not noticing Qing He behind them. No wonder after studying for so many years, I am only a student. In this state, I probably won't be able to pass the exam to become a scholar even if I study for another hundred years. All the money my father spent before has been wasted.
