The casual life of the flat space

"Tieying, can I ask if this matter is related to the person who came with you last time?"

"Brother Cheng Jian, why do you say that?"

"Tieying, let's put aside the matter of making clothes for now. Come with me to the back. I have something to tell you."

Bai Tieying followed Xiang Chengjian and came to the accounting office. After the waiter served them tea and snacks, Xiang Chengjian whispered:

"Tieying, maybe I am being petty. I think you should be more cautious in your dealings with Brother Mu."

Seeing that Bai Tieying did not answer, Xiang Chengjian had no choice but to continue:

"Tieying, judging from the clothes you bought for him that day, his status should be quite high. I don't know how you got to know him, but I want to say one more thing: not all people in this world are good.

Although you are much smarter than your peers, even I, who is a few years older than you, am not as smart as you. But there are always people who have experienced more and are more mature, so...it is possible...that some bad thoughts may arise. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Brother Cheng Jian, I understand. Thank you for treating me as a friend and telling me so much." Bai Tieying replied with a smile.

"It's not that I didn't take it to heart, but there really is no problem with his identity. Let's put it this way, with General Zhao as a guarantor, you should be relieved, right? Besides, even if he has some intentions, what can he do to me?"

"Figure... uh, Tieying, there's no need to underestimate himself." Xiang Chengjian swallowed back what he wanted to say and turned a blind eye.

"Brother Cheng Jian, I have a lot of clothes to make this time, so you just need to give me a preferential price, and you don't have to give me a 50% discount." Bai Tieying didn't want to say more about Mu Qingqiu, and he couldn't say anything, so he changed the subject.

"How can that be? To use your words: once the VIP card is issued, the spirit of the contract must be followed. Otherwise, why do we issue it?"

"Hahaha, fine, then I won't be polite. But I still want to ask if the silk and fabrics used in our Sijixin are all imported from Huayue Prefecture?"

"Yes, some of it is imported from Baili Mansion, but most of it is cloth, and silk is not imported from there."

"Brother Cheng Jian, where do you get the tussah silk from?"

"You mean the coal silk, right? Tussah silkworms are best raised in places where the temperature is not too high, so we buy them from the three counties of Shudong, Yanxi, and Guonan in Quanxi Prefecture."

"Brother Cheng Jian, didn't I go into Beishan before? Guess what I saw?"

"You mean... we, Shang'an, have tussah silkworms?" Xiang Chengjian's brain was pretty quick, but he couldn't quite believe it.

"Haha! Correct answer!"

"Really? But the winters here are so cold and long, how is it possible..."

"I don't know about that, but I have collected those cocoons and stored them in a safe place. We can give it a try next year!"

"Tie, Tieying, if this can be accomplished, it will be an incredible deal!"

"That's why I came to find you! I only have high hopes for you." Bai Tieying blinked at Xiang Chengjian, then said seriously:

"Brother Cheng Jian, Grandpa Xiang told me about your situation before, but I know nothing about the fabric business, so I don't have any good ideas. But isn't this like 'a pillow is delivered when you are sleepy'? If you want to have your own business, I think this is a good start.

But you still have to learn the technology, I don't have time at all. I can only give you some help in the early stage and ensure that you have tussah silkworms for breeding experiments."

"Tie Ying!" Xiang Chengjian stood up and bowed deeply, saying: "Tie Ying is so affectionate and friendly, Chengjian has no way to repay him!"

"Sit down, come on, sit down quickly. It will be difficult to explain if someone sees me." Bai Tieying had no choice but to put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and helped Xiang Chengjian.

"Brother Cheng Jian, we haven't even started yet, it's too early for you to thank me. Besides, I have conditions, how can I say anything when you say that?"

"Tieying, just speak frankly. I agree to all your conditions."

"Hey, hey, can you please chat properly? Just sit down and listen to me slowly."

Xiang Chengjian suppressed his excitement and cut off the thought of supplying the entire Zhibei Prefecture. He drank another sip of tea before saying to Bai Tieying, "Please give me some advice, Tieying."

"No, no, that's not necessary. I don't know anything. I just know the general idea. You have to go to the counties I just mentioned to learn the specific techniques yourself.

But I also have a little confidence that I can succeed in Zhibei Prefecture, or at least in Shang'an County. Let me tell you how we can cooperate on this matter.

But before that, can you please arrange the clothes I want to make for me? I’m really in a hurry.”

"Okay, Tieying, wait a moment. I'll write it down on paper."

Bai Tieying told Xiang Chengjian what she wanted to make, paid him the money, and asked him to send it to Chunweizhai in Xianhe Village after he finished making it. She also invited him to attend the opening ceremony tomorrow.

"Opening ceremony? That's an interesting idea." Xiang Chengjian put down his brush and said,

"Tieying, you really make me ashamed! I have known my family's situation for a long time, and my grandfather has told me about it a long time ago, but I only have the determination to do things well, but I don't have the idea of ​​doing anything.

But now I know what I want to do. I will focus on the breeding of tussah silkworms. If I can do well in this field, I can be considered to have made some achievements! "

"Okay, then I'll tell you about our cooperation plan."

Perhaps because of her "halo of the protagonist", Bai Tieying felt that all her "careers" were going very smoothly. But people's energy is always limited, and she is not interested in this, so she now plans to divide up the things she originally wanted to manage, and she just wants to "have a piece of the pie".

It was also because of Xiang Chengjian's reminder just now that she felt that if she didn't use her rights, they would expire. Mu Qingqiu couldn't stay in Shang'an all the time, so why not take advantage of it now? Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

Although Mu Qingqiu was born into a noble family, he had been away from home with his master for many years and had not been exposed to the "dirty" things. His temperament was somewhat "gangster-like". In addition, due to his age, he would occasionally suffer from a bit of "secondary illness", but generally speaking, he was still easy to talk to.

But he is a noble after all. No matter whether he wants to deal with it or not, isn't there a saying that goes "he has no choice"?

Not to mention that he already knew about the space, even in this era, "freedom" could not be allowed to appear. Therefore, it was still very important to have a certain level of strength, and the road ahead did not necessarily have to be "slow and steady".
