Chapter 66 Transaction (White Valentine's Day plus more)

"Xiaobai, do you think this is okay?"

Bug jumped down from the roof, pointed to a row of flower pots on the roof fixed by wooden frames and asked Bai Fu.

The sun was shining brightly, so Bai Fu raised his hand and set up a pergola to take a look, "It's almost there, let's get some more sun, and the Chaotian peppers will be ready to be picked in a month or two."

Barger put the hand that touched the chili pepper in front of his nose and sniffed it, then took it away with a look of disgust, "The smell is too pungent."

"Hurry up and wash it, be careful not to rub your eyes and make you cry."

Bai Fu sat back at the stone table in the shade again, leaning against the table with a fan, chewing on the pen holder while fanning the wind, pondering new recipes.

Sanya came out after finishing her work and helped grind the ink aside. She probed for a while and found many new names.

Stir-fried pork liver, stir-fried dried pork belly with celery, stir-fried pork head, stir-fried lettuce, stir-fried kohlrabi. A bunch of names are all stir-fried.

During this period of time, the young master was thinking of ways to stir-fry all kinds of food in an iron pan, and Sanya was already familiar with these two words.

"Do you want to sell these stir-fried vegetables in the shop?" She asked curiously.

Bai Fu shook his head.

"Our store has a high positioning, so it's not easy to sell this."

Oh, yes, Sanya nodded hastily.

The young master said that their shop has a high-end positioning, and only sells rare things that other people's homes don't have.

In their shop, whether it is the food or the people, they are different from other shops.

Sanya looked down at the white clothes and lace floral apron on her body, subconsciously straightened her waist, these were all matched by the young master, three sets for each person, even Bag had it.

The young master said that it was called work clothes, with the special logo of Detian Pavilion on it. Now the food boxes and wrapping paper of the shop have this logo. Wearing this work clothes represents the appearance of Detian Pavilion, and it must always reflect the sense of luxury.

What is a sense of sophistication?
They didn't understand at first, so the young master gave them a demonstration--
The makeup is neat, the smile is decent, the waist is straight, and the steps are calm. They wear white gloves and use a tray to collect money and change. They bow at 75 degrees to welcome customers, and bow at 75 degrees again after seeing them off at the door.
In short, we must fully embody self-confidence and an attitude of not being humble and not saying anything.

These were very different from the other shops they had seen on the street.

At first they felt awkward, and worried that the lack of hospitality would affect the business of the shop. After a while, they found that not only did it not affect them, but the customers seemed to like them quite a bit.

Today, a guest even bowed unconsciously when she saw her bowing. This made her inexplicably happy, and she immediately felt respected.

Thinking of this, she giggled.

"Then why are you thinking about these things?"

Bai Fu still buried his head in writing, and didn't look up when he heard the words.

"I haven't thought about it yet, let's prepare it first. You and Erya practice more in advance, and there will always be a chance to use it in the future."

After several torrential rains, the weather is getting hotter.

When Ah Shi sent peach blossom wine again, he told Bai Fu that the treasures in Taohuawu had matured a lot. Ah Re meant that expansion of production could be considered, so Bai Fu decided to wait for the weather to be cooler. Plant a batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes first.

There is still time for the land tax issue, and it can always be resolved slowly.

Bai Fu asked Bage to go back to Taohuawu to arrange related matters, and by the way, tell the patriarch about Xiao Liang's situation here, so as not to worry--
At the beginning, Xiao Liang only said that he would come out to play for three months, but now that he has entered the academy, he is not playing but studying, so it should be a different matter.

Bage left with A Shi the next day. The big and small bags were all bought by Bai Fu for the tribe. Before leaving, he worriedly asked and asked several people.

"All right, all right, Uncle Bag"

Xiao Liang pretended that he couldn't bear the nagging, "Don't worry, we promise not to run around or cause trouble during this time, and I will save any delicious food for you to eat during this time, okay?"

Bagh laughed and was dragged into the car by Ash.

Today's stuff has been sold out, and after sending Bagg away, Erya and Sanya helped each other close the store, Bai Fu thought about it, went back to the house, took some things and walked to Shen Sanjin's shop.

"What kind of strong wind brought our Shopkeeper Bai here today?"

Shen Sanjin was drinking tea leisurely with his legs crossed in the store, when he saw Bai Fu coming in, he quickly got up and greeted him with a smile.

Bai Fu chatted a few words and directly explained the purpose of his visit.

"I want to buy a few more nimble and clever boys, preferably able to read and write."

Hearing this, Shen Sanjin was happy.

"You are lucky, there are a few good ones just now, I will take you to have a look."

Bai Fu followed Shen Sanjin to a dental clinic.

"It was opened by a relative of my family, and the origin is guaranteed. Mr. Bai will take a look first."

As Shen Sanjin said, he directly brought Bai Fu into the backyard, and soon the manager brought a dozen people, both men and women, to stand in a row for Bai Fu to choose.

Bai Fu glanced around, his eyes fell on a man, and he paused slightly.

Isn't this Luo Jin who was bitten by a dog a few days ago?
Isn't he a student of Egret Academy?How come here?

Luo Jin happened to raise his eyes to see Bai Fu, he didn't know whether it was embarrassment or to avoid suspicion, he was slightly startled and then quickly looked away.

Bai Fu thought for a while, then turned around and asked Shen Sanjin if he could talk privately before making a decision.

With Shen Sanjin's consent, Bai Fu entered a room and asked these people to come in for interviews one by one.

When Luo Jin came in, Bai Fu directly asked his doubts.

"I saw you wearing the student uniform of Bailu College that day. You must be a student of Bailu College. Why did you come here?" She asked.

Luo Jin bowed his hands respectfully to her and thanked her again, with a calm tone that made people feel comfortable.

"Actually, that day was my last day at the academy"

He smiled wryly, "There was a sudden change at home, and I can no longer continue to study for me, so I came here."

Having said this, he stopped talking and did not continue.

Seeing that the other party didn't want to elaborate, Bai Fu didn't ask any more questions, and asked instead:
"How are you studying? What is your status now?"

"Luo Jin is not talented, and now he is only a scholar. He was originally going to participate in Qiu Wei this year." He replied neither humble nor overbearing.

Qiu Wei!

Bai Fu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look at Luo Jin a few more times.

This young man was much thinner than the last time I saw him, his face was obviously tired, and his clothes were well made but a little wrinkled. It seemed that he had had a difficult time.

"Did you know that if you sell yourself, you can't take the scientific examination?" she asked.

"Luo Jin knows, but my parents owe other people debts, and now I have sold off the property and it is not enough, so I can only make up the amount in this way."

That's it.

I heard from Shen Sanjin just now that scholars would occasionally sell themselves to be the companions of wealthy families as sons and young masters, and they could get good compensation. But most people would not do this until the last step.

Although you can redeem your body and take the scientific examination again in the future, after all, time waits for no one. After missing the best years, taking the scientific examination again is not as easy as imagined.

This person should have encountered a hurdle that he couldn't get past before he made such a bad move.

Bai Fu pondered for a moment, then looked at Luo Jin.

"Although I don't know what's wrong with your family, if I buy you and let you continue to study at Bailu College as a good citizen, would you be willing?"

Read again?

Luo Jin looked up in surprise, "This"

Knowing what he was worried about, Bai Fu took the words with a smile:
"I'm not a philanthropist. Of course I'm not helping you for free. This is an exchange of equivalent value. You must pass the exam and raise someone to repay me. You scholars may not like this deal. It involves things like integrity, but I really need such a person." .Do you want to?"

After speaking, Bai Fu looked at him calmly.

Four eyes facing each other.

For a long while, Luo Jin closed his eyes slightly, and after another long while, he raised his head.

"Luo Jin is willing."

When leaving, Bai Fu only brought Luo Jin with him, Shen Sanjin was puzzled.

"Why only one?" he asked.

Naturally, he didn't want people to know Luo Jin's experience of prostitution, Bai Fu thought.

Ancient times seem to have valued this a lot.

As I asked just now, it is the first time that those people and Luo Jin met today, so it must not have much influence.

"I don't like the other ones for the time being. Brother Sanjin will help me pay more attention. After a while, if there is a suitable candidate, let me know."

"alright."
