Chapter 88 Little Drama Queen

Early the next morning, Zhou Bo came back with the remaining salt.

"Prince-in-law, the total amount of snow and salt on this trip is twelve thousand jins..."

Liu Bai looked at Zhou Bo in surprise.

"How did you bring back so many?"

Zhou Bo bowed slightly and replied.

"Consort, although there are salt officials in every county, they are short of manpower. Thanks to the help of Widow Qing, we were able to arrive smoothly this time."

The woman who has been standing behind Zhou Bo has a veil on her face and a red dress that is particularly eye-catching.

After hearing the conversation between the two, he raised his eyes slightly to look at Liu Bai, then lowered his head and saluted respectfully.

"Ba Qing, the little girl, has met Yang Zi's consort!"

"No gift, this time I want to thank the girl!"

After saying that, he ignored Ba Qing and turned to look at Zhou Bo.

"Come on, let's go to the shop."

Ba Qing had a purpose for coming here this time. When he saw that they were about to leave, he hurriedly spoke.

"Prince-in-law, I wonder if I can let the little girl go with me so that I can learn more about it?"

Liu Bai smiled noncommittally and nodded in agreement.

After Xiao He and others arrived, they went to the salt shop together.

Today's salt shop is no longer as deserted as it was when it first opened yesterday.

The people who bought salt yesterday went back to spread the word. Before the city gate was opened today, many people gathered outside the city, waiting to buy salt.

No, a few people just arrived at the shop, and there were already many people waiting outside the door.

Seeing them coming, they moved forward to surround them.

Fortunately, Liu Bai had the foresight to order Wang Li to come early today to maintain order when they dispersed yesterday.

"Don't be crowded, don't be crowded, there is still salt, everyone wait in line..."

After some guidance, the people lined up one after another.

Ba Qing, who was following, saw this formation and his eyes widened on the spot.

He tugged on Zhou Bo's sleeve beside him and asked quietly.

"Does your salt shop have so many people every day?"

Zhou Bo shook his head.

"I just came back, so I don't know!"

Cao Shen, who was following him, laughed.

"Ms. Qing made me laugh. The salt shop just opened yesterday, so there are more people today."

Ba Qing nodded clearly.

Let’s just say, it would be terrible if there were so many people in a salt shop every day.

Following everyone into the shop, Ba Qing carefully observed everything in front of him.

The decoration of the shop is not very fancy, it can even be said to be extremely simple.

In his opinion, it was completely inconsistent with the identity of the consort.

However, from the perspective of ordinary people, such a simple decoration just removes their timidity.

From this point alone, Ba Qing concluded that this consort knew how to do business.

Several salt buckets were displayed in the center of the shop, already filled with snow-white salt.

There is a 'Free Tasting' sign next to it, and the price of the salt is indicated.

In the innermost part is a counter. At the moment, Xiao He and Cao Shen are sorting out the things on the counter in preparation for the opening.

Liu Bai, on the other hand, was still sitting on a chair drinking tea just like yesterday.

Seeing Ba Qing looking at him, Liu Bai smiled slightly and made an invitation gesture.

"Girl, do you want to come over and try the tea I made?"

Since knowing her identity, Liu Bai's heart has turned many corners.

From being deliberately cold before to now inviting her to have tea, every step has been done quietly and subtly.

Tea?

She had heard this thing from Zhou Bo, so she didn't show any pretense after being invited, she just walked over and sat down on another chair.

After observing carefully, he followed Liu Bai's example, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The light and fragrant fragrance slides down the throat.

Even after swallowing, the fragrance still lingers on your lips and teeth.

The thirsty feeling I felt along the way disappeared instantly.

His eyes lit up slightly, and his intuition as a businessman emerged.

This thing can make a lot of money.

From the moment she picked up the tea cup, Liu Bai was silently observing her expression.

Although Ba Qing tried his best to remain calm, how could he escape his eyes?

Liu Bai smiled softly in his heart, it was enough, but it was not enough.

The two of them watched silently as the people walked into the shop and then went out happily. It was not until dusk that they closed the shop.

And Ba Qing was able to keep his composure and actually stayed in the shop for a whole day.

When there are too many people to handle, they will get up and help.

After closing the store, I did the math and found that more than 4,000 kilograms of salt were sold today. If this continues, the salt will not be enough to sell now!

Liu Bai looked at Cao Shen and asked.

"What did Yan Guan say? Can they get enough manpower?"

Cao Shen handed him the letter he just received and said.

"Yes, do you want them to bring some over first?"

Liu Bai tapped the armrest of the chair and thought carefully, it would not take three or two days to get here from Shu County.

While he was thinking, Ba Qing spoke.

"Consort, if we take the official route, it may take some time to arrive. Why not take our Ba family's route? It can be delivered within three days..."

Liu Bai looked up in surprise. How long did it take to get from Shu to Kyoto in three days?

Ba Qing smiled slightly and explained.

"The Prince Consort also knows that our Ba family has been doing cinnabar business. His Majesty needed it urgently in the past, so he trained a special route to transport cinnabar. It only takes three days to reach Xianyang..."

With such an explanation, Liu Bai was somewhat impressed by her.

No wonder a weak woman can become the richest businessman in Ba County. No one can match her brains alone.

"How much money will it cost to take the Bajia route? Girls also know that our snow salt is sold cheaply. If the transportation costs are too much, we will lose it!"

Ba Qing stood up from his chair and bowed down.

"The fact that the consort is willing to use it is a great blessing for our Ba family. How about money? What's more, according to the consort's cleverness, it is just a temporary turnaround. Soon we will be able to build a transportation road that is not inferior to the Ba family, right?

"

Liu Bai secretly praised his cleverness and agreed unceremoniously.

"Since the girl said this, I won't shirk it. Please ask the girl to order someone to speed up..."

"Save it for me, little girl. Please lend me a pen and paper."

After staying for a day, Ba Qing naturally saw paper, so he happened to give it a try at this moment.

Xiao He heard this and took paper and pen from the counter. After a while, a letter was written.

Ba Qing's maid turned around and went out with the letter. When she came back, everyone went back to the mountain together.

As for trivial matters such as arranging accommodation for Ba Qing, it was naturally not Liu Bai's turn to worry about it.

After returning, he saw Ying Yinman sitting at the table with her back to him, sobbing from time to time.

Liu Bai hurriedly went over to hug her and asked softly.

"Madam, what's going on? Is there anyone on this mountain who dares to bully you?"

Ying Yinman snorted softly.

"Aren't you the one who bullied me..."

Liu Bai was a little confused and pointed at himself and asked.

"Me? What's wrong with me?"

Ying Yinman stole a glance at him, then lowered her head and started sobbing again.

"You go out to play all day and leave me here alone. Don't you know that I will miss you? When I was in a coma, I was helpless. Now I wake up and I can't see you all day long. I, I..."

"Hey, that's it. If you want to go, just tell me. If you don't tell me, how will I know that you want to go? How about I take you to the shop together tomorrow and take a look at your perfume shop?"

Ying Yinman chuckled, turned around, hugged her husband and gave him a big sip.

"My husband is the best, my husband is the best! I heard that the widow Qing is here. Can I see her tomorrow?"

Liu Bai stared at her dumbfounded. You've been crying for a long time and your eyes haven't even turned red. Is that appropriate?

Pretending to be angry, he scraped her nose and hummed.

"I thought Man'er was thinking of me. After a long time of fussing, it turned out that Man'er was thinking of Widow Qing?"

Ying Yinman stuck out her tongue playfully and comforted him softly.

"How could it be? Man'er only has her husband in her heart..."

Liu Bai sneered, "Little drama queen, only if I believe you can you be a ghost."

"How dare you tease me like this, let's see how I deal with you!"

After saying that, he stood up, picked her up, and walked straight to the bed.

Amidst Ying Yinman's exclamations, a battle began!
