Seeing this, Bai Shan simply ordered Mr. Cui, "Have someone move the long table out and put the breakfast prepared in the kitchen on it for the guests to use freely."
He didn't bother to greet everyone for dinner anymore. He was so tired from socializing and talking in public. He still preferred to take Zhou Man to go shopping and put on and unload the goods.
Yin You was standing beside him. Hearing this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at him and smiled.
Bai Shan glanced at him, "What are you laughing at?"
"They won't think you're lazy, just too lazy to deal with them. They'll probably praise you for your cleverness."
It is true that not many people are thinking about having breakfast now. Anyway, it won't be a big deal if they don't eat. But the goods brought off the ship are more attractive.
In particular, many of the gentry and businessmen among them had never seen fresh goods being unloaded and disembarked from the ship, so they couldn't even remember that they were hungry for a while, and they all looked at it with great interest with their hands folded.
Breakfast was laid out, and there were not many varieties, just steamed buns, pies, wontons and soy milk.
The chef who made wontons simply asked someone to bring the stove over and make them on site, but few people ate wontons. Most people chose steamed buns and pies, and they could eat while watching the goods being moved by the long-term workers.
Bai Shan ordered a pie and a bowl of wontons, found a seat and sat down, eating and watching.
Zhou Man went around curiously, and when he came back, he sat next to him and said, "They brought all valuable things on board."
Bai Shan smiled and said: "It's not easy to go to sea. Don't you have to bring valuable things?"
Zhou Man asked: "Are you going to ask their merchant ships to transport salt?"
Bai Shan raised his eyebrows and shook his head, "No."
He took a bite of the pie, turned to look at the lively crowd, chewed and whispered: "We have discussed carefully recently and feel that merchant ships are not as safe as official ships. His Highness has promised me to send two official ships over by then.
, even the boatmen don’t have to worry, there are navy troops above.”
Zhou Man's eyes widened, he couldn't help but look around, and then lowered his voice and said: "Oh my god, will this official ship belong to Beihai County from now on?"
Bai Shan said vaguely: "It depends on the situation." But he will try his best to make them belong to Beihai County.
Zhou Man couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
Governor Guo was chatting with someone, so he turned around to find Bai Shan, his host. He saw the couple standing together not far away, their heads almost squeezed together. He couldn't help but twitching his lips again, and simply waved over.
One person said: "Go and invite Magistrate Bai here."
Bai Shan ate all the wontons immediately, wiped his mouth and stood up, "I'll greet them. You can go and see the things by yourself. If you like it, buy it."
Daji was left behind again, "Just follow Manbao, don't let anyone rush into her."
Good luck.
Zhou Man touched his belly and said to Daji: "Come on, let's call our mother and sister-in-law and let them come and take a look."
In order not to cause trouble for them, Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Xiao Qian stayed in the other courtyard in the morning. When they heard the sound of firecrackers, they just stood at the door and looked away from a distance, and did not come to join in the fun.
At this time, Zhou Man went back to get them, "Bring your money, let's go see what good things there are."
He also called Lan Xin, "You should go and take a look too, but you are still young. You will have to follow us soon and don't let others rush into you."
Lan Xin happily agreed.
A group of people went down the mountain. Bai Erlang and Ming Da walked out together. When they saw them, they immediately waved, "Come here and have a look. This is the cotton cloth from the south. We feel it is finer when we touch it. Can you touch it?"
Everyone came forward to take a look.
Mrs. Zheng's eyes lit up as soon as she touched it, and she said happily: "This fabric is good, I can buy two pieces and make clothes for my children later."
Xiao Qian touched it with the back of his hand and felt it was very soft and fine.
Mingda then said to the eldest palace maid behind him: "Let's buy two horses too."
"Yes." The eldest maid stepped forward and asked the price.
The waiter quoted a number with a smile, and Xiao Qian subconsciously wanted to bargain, "It's too expensive, let's make it cheaper."
Zheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded excitedly, and whispered: "We just moved it from the ship, so it should be cheaper than selling it outside, right?"
The clerk smiled bitterly, "Madam, this price is already the cheapest. You can't buy such cloth at this price outside..."
However, the waiter was still willing to give them a little less, so he wiped out the five cents.
After paying the money, they didn't take it away, but asked the clerk to write it down and send them to another hospital later.
Everyone continued to visit other stalls.
Some of the porcelain that was moved from the ship was placed directly in the larger open space at the back because it was fragile. So some precious and fragile items were put in the back, and the family occupied a large space to display their things.
The gentry and businessmen who came to watch the ceremony seemed to be more interested in these things. They gathered around happily and watched the shop clerks open the boxes and carefully take out the same treasures one after another.
Yin You stood among them. He reached out and picked up an inkstone. He just looked at it and then put it down. In the blink of an eye, he saw a waiter carefully taking out a tea set from a box, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Many people also saw it and gathered around them, "What a great tea set. It looks fine from a distance, but up close it turns out to be as smooth as green jade. Was this tea set just made?"
"Yes, our store bought this with a lot of effort. Adults know the goods, so you can take a look."
Yin You smiled slightly and withdrew from the crowd to make room for them. Zhou Man and the others stood on tiptoes to look inside. When they saw him coming out, they quickly asked: "What's inside?"
"Some porcelain," Yin You said with a smile: "The tea set we just took out is quite good."
Bai Erlang asked: "Then why don't you buy it?"
It can't be a lack of money, right?
However, everyone here may be short of money, right?
Changshou also said: "Master, if you like a small one, go and buy it."
"It's not worth it," Yin You stopped him and said, "Although the glaze color is good, when it comes to making tea, I'm afraid it's not as good as the ones we commonly use. Besides, you can just drink tea happily and calmly, and there's no need to go out of your way to make tea."
Look at the tea set."
He even said directly: "The things here are not suitable for you, and there are too many people. Let's look somewhere else."
Zhou Man and the others looked inside and found that it was not something they would buy, so they went to the other side hand in hand.
Tea is sold over there.
Different from the ordinary tea sold by Zhou Lang, which makes small profits but quick turnover, the tea here is much more delicate and is carefully packaged in boxes or jars.
It's completely different from Zhou Lang stuffing it into the sack casually.
Of course, the customers we face are also different.
The people who buy tea from Zhou Lang are basically herdsmen on the grassland. Most of them don't care whether the tea tastes good or not. They just need to eat tea with milk and meat because of the environment. So even if Zhou Lang rolls a bunch of old tea leaves, they also
It can be thrown into milk and cooked together without changing color. After cooking, you can chew it and eat it.
The customers we face here are wealthy, tasteful, and extremely demanding customers. Of course, the prices are also extremely high.
