Chapter 91 Arrangement
"Is there anything else that is unclear?"

In the small study room of Detian Pavilion, Bai Fu tapped a branch on the wall full of papers, and turned to look at the group of people surrounding her.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. If you have any questions, ask now. Don't cry when I leave," she said.

After talking with Master Yun the day before yesterday, Bai Fu planned to go to the mining area in person.

This trip may take more than a month. During this period, the work at home must not be messed up, so she called everyone to hold a two-day meeting to make arrangements.

Bagger's fourth son is mainly responsible for the work of the field and building the house, and both of them said that there is no problem.

Erya didn't have any extra ideas in Chinese and sports, only Sanya was in a bad mood.

"Son!"

Sanya stood up, with a look of disbelief, "Why did you bring a foreign language with you when you went out, and not me?! See how weak she is, how can she suffer!"

"Yep"

It is rare that the foreign language also nodded this time to agree with Sanya's words, and said cautiously:

"Young master, it's not that I don't want to go with you. I've never been out of Raozhou since I've grown up. I'm afraid that if I get sick on the way, I'll make trouble for you—"

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Fu interrupted the foreign language.

"People from the north have a heavy accent. Only you can communicate. Naturally, I will take you. Don't worry, a good carriage has been arranged this time, and the road will not be hard."

Turning to look at Sanya again, "You are not here, how can Erya be busy with the business at the restaurant? There is no need to argue about this."

These words were neither light nor serious, but they sounded unquestionable. The group of them had been getting along with Bai Fu for a while, and they knew that this meant that the young master had already made up his mind.

Sanya sat down angrily, not daring to speak any more foreign languages.

Looking at the opportunity, Mathematics interjected and asked:

"My lord, the carpenter, blacksmith, and Tang's shop have agreed to defer the payment for the goods for two months, but the money is not yet enough for the amount you want, you see."

As he spoke, he approached and handed over an account book, which was spread out to the last page.

Bai Fu took it over and took a look. The mathematics was kept in accordance with the modern accounting method and Arabic numerals she required, which was clear at a glance.

It's just that it's a little heartbreaking to see at a glance.

Originally thought that after these few months of accumulation, she had a little savings, but she couldn't keep the money in and out, and now she is still a poor person.

She sighed.

How can this be good?

The mining area is in the north, so it's not easy to go there. As the saying goes, a poor family gets rich, so you must bring more silver.

He also thought that regardless of whether the Huxiao Escort finally agreed to cooperate or not, he would definitely come back with a batch of goods this time, so he asked Mathematics to collect as much as possible 5000 taels of silver.

The winter is coming soon, and some of the purchased goods will be kept for home use, and some will be made into briquettes for small-scale sales. It should not be a big problem to make a small profit.

Bai Fu visited several coal shops in Bailu Town, and they all sell coal into briquettes. Because of the low heating efficiency of the smoke, most of them are sold to workshops and kilns, which are rarely used by ordinary people.

Bai Fu then remembered the honeycomb briquettes she had read in modern textbooks. It happened that she knew the formula and method, so she thought she could give it a try.

It's just that there is only 3000 taels of working capital in Detian Pavilion's book, so I'm afraid it won't be useful. After thinking about it, she turned her eyes out of the window and saw Qin Shisan who was bored in the yard drinking tea and eating cakes with Xiao Liang and Xiao Si.

"No other questions, let's stop here today." She ended the meeting neatly and walked towards Qin Shisan.

"Xiaobai, are you finished?" Xiaoliang considerately handed over a cup of herbal tea.

After talking for a long time, he was also thirsty. Bai Fu took the tea and drank it in one gulp. By the way, he wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and looked at Qin Shisan, "I've read the information you checked. It's very detailed, thank you."

Qin Shisan glanced at her.

"I heard you're going on a long trip tomorrow?"

"Well, it is estimated that I will be away for more than a month."

Bai Fu took the snack that Xiao Si thoughtfully handed over, and took a bite.

Because she was in a hurry to eat, some of the snacks were broken and spilled out, Xiao Si looked up at her with some distaste.

Bai Fu didn't care, and used his other hand to catch the snack without letting it spill. He raised his hand, raised his head, and stuffed it into his mouth without any waste.

Xiaosi was dumbfounded--
Ten girls don't have to learn to be so sloppy to pretend to be a man.
No, no.

Not all men are so sloppy, at least the gentlemen around her are not!

"Hey"

Bai Fu sat beside Qin Shisan, half leaning on the table and looked sideways at him, with a very friendly smile on his face, "Brother Qin, do you have any money? Can you lend me 2000 taels?"

This time it was Qin Shisan's turn to be choked by the dim sum.

He drank water and patted his chest, and it took him a while to recover.

"No wonder you are smiling so flatteringly, what do you want so much money for?" he asked.

Bai Fu's smile widened even wider.

"Of course it will be of great use, and I don't want to borrow it for nothing. I will pay you back 500 taels after six months. The interest is not low. Do you want to think about it?"

Qin Shisan looked a little embarrassed.

He secretly came to Raozhou to look for his father, and the money he brought out had already been spent, and he didn't have much chance to use the money in Raozhou, and he really didn't have much money on hand.

"Only 1000 taels, do you want it?" He asked.

"I want it!"

Bai Fu nodded hurriedly and stretched out his hand.

Mosquito legs are also meat, and 1000 taels are also very fragrant.

Qin Shisan stretched out his hand and patted that too slender white hand, "Who would carry so much silver with him! When are you leaving tomorrow? I will bring it when I send you off."

"Oh, that's fine."

After a little bit of settlement, Bai Fu was very happy, "You can rest assured that the money will be returned within six months!"

So confident?Qin Shisan raised his eyebrows.

"There is no need for interest, but what are you going to do this far away?"

Bai Fu chuckled, "Don't ask, it's business anyway."

"noob"

Xiao Si, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly yelled, then took out a bank note from her purse and handed it to Bai Fu, "I also have 1000 taels, I will lend it to you."

Bai Fu: "!!!!!!"

Qin Shisan: "."

"Xiaosi, where did you get so much money?"

Bai Fu took the bank note and looked at it. It was 1000 taels. He was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.

"Great-grandfather gave me the purse." Xiao Si said nonchalantly.

Purse?
Bai Fu subconsciously looked at the exquisite pouch on Xiaosi's waist, thinking it was just a decoration, but it turned out that there was a real treasure inside.

Where does such a young child need so much money?

Are you not afraid of being missed by thieves?
Bai Fu was a little sour.

We must know that the veterans of Detian Pavilion like Erya Sanya only have one tael of silver a month, and their Chinese and mathematics are less, but the salary is considered high in the whole Bailu Town.

Xiaosi is a little girl, and the pocket money is equivalent to a lifetime salary.
Bai Fu couldn't believe it, and wanted to cry.

Or poverty limited her imagination.

1000 taels is a lot of money for her, but it is just pocket money for some people!

This damn rich-poor gap.

Bai Fu made a gesture of wiping tears, and suddenly grabbed Xiao Si's hand.

"Xiaosi, your great-grandfather will be a role model for me to learn from now on. It is your great-grandfather who stimulates me to work harder to make money. It is your great-grandfather who gives me hope. From today onwards, my dream is: I will give my grandson casually every year in the future. The granddaughter's 1000 taels of silver bills are in her purse!"

Xiao Si, who was envied so inexplicably: "."

Is this a lot of money?

Qin Shisan, who didn't have 1000 taels to carry with him: "."

He doesn't envy his grandfather, but rather his granddaughter. What's the matter?

When Luo Jin entered the room, Bai Fu had just collected the bank notes, and his eyes lit up when he saw him come back.

"Brother Luo is back, just in time, I also have a task for you! Come to the study."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hands and turned around, hurriedly advanced into the small study.

Luo Jin was slightly taken aback.

She thought that Bai Fu would first ask him how he did in the exam when he came back, but she didn't want to ask him anything, and directly assigned him a task.

Is this too much trust, or is it afraid of burdening him?
Thinking of this, Luo Jin suddenly smiled, the son was never afraid of burdening him, he always told him straight up, what she needed, and what he could give, it was he who was worrying too much.

"Thirteen Brothers"

Xiaosi suddenly yelled loudly, Qin Shisan looked away from Luo Jin and Bai Fu, and hummed.

"What were you looking at just now?" Xiao Si asked with big eyes shining.

Qin Shisan was thoughtful, and said for a while, "Why do I always feel that Xiao Bai is more like an adult?"

Bai Fu is only 16 years old, and most of the people in this yard are older than Bai Fu, but these days he clearly feels that Bai Fu is the veritable backbone of this place.

"Because Xiaobai is the owner here," Xiaosi replied.

Master, Qin Shisan thought for a while and shook his head.

Not only because she is the owner of this house, but because everyone trusts her unconditionally.

Yes, it's trust, just like when he was in Taohuawu back then, although he thought she was unreliable, she was inexplicably trustworthy.

But why is this?

Bai Fu was focused on making all arrangements at home before going out, and Qin Shisan "estimated" that Luo Jin would be fine, so he was not worried, and gave him a cookbook when Luo Jin entered the house.

"I'm going on a long trip tomorrow. This is a recipe for Mrs. Yunqi Shengyun. I was in a hurry and didn't have time, so I just wrote a rough outline. There should be a lot of typos and new characters in it."

Luo Jin opened it and saw that it was a thick volume, and it was written in a hurry. Not only were there typos, but also half of the characters, oh, not typos, Bai Fu called them simplified characters.

Look at the handwriting again. As calm as Luo Jin, the corners of his mouth can't help but twitch.

Bai Fu took another thick booklet.

"This is the traditional-simplified conversion table that I had nothing to do before. After the remaining two exams, you can refer to this, sort out and transcribe the recipes, and send them to Yunqisheng."

Luo Jin nodded in response.

"Also, I will go out for more than a month this time. The family is small and weak. You are the most familiar with Bailu Town. You need to take care of it. I will ask them to discuss with you and Bagduo if something happens. "

"Where are you going, sir?"

Bai Fu kept saying that Luo Jin finally saw an opportunity to ask, he hadn't heard about it before entering the examination room, and he was completely dumbfounded this time around.

"To the north, the coal mine, the exact location has to be seen while walking."

This time, she was looking for an anthracite mining area. The transmission of ancient information was slow and inaccurate. At present, she only confirmed the approximate location, but she really didn't know the specifics.

"Are you alone?" Luo Jin asked with some concern.

Bai Fu waved his hand.

"Foreign language understands dialect, I will take her there, and there will be people from the Tiger Roaring Escort escorting her back and forth, don't worry, by the way, in case something happens at home, you can go to the Tiger Roaring Escort or Yunqisheng to find Miss Yun, she promises to help me Take care of one or two."

It turned out that during his exam, the young master did so many things quietly and arranged so many arrangements. For some reason, Luo Jin was inexplicably ashamed.

"Don't worry, my lord," he said.
