"How is your second brother doing lately?" He Yunlan asked with a blushing face.
"I have been studying hard. The news about Kai Enke has officially come down. He is going to give it a try." Bai Banxia said.
He Yunlan nodded, "Just tell him to do your best, and don't put too much pressure on yourself, let alone exhaust yourself."
"You still feel sorry for Brother Erlang." Bai Banxia joked.
He Yunlan blushed even more and hurriedly changed the subject, "Don't make fun of me. Will you get new hair on the 15th? I'm going to buy it."
"It's necessary, Die Lianhua." Bai Banxia directly told her the theme of the new design.
"Okay, I will definitely go to support you that day." He Yunlan said this, but she was not very interested. In fact, she does not like butterflies like other women. In her eyes, this beautiful but fragile and short-lived thing is not very interesting.
.
Afterwards, Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen rushed back to Houshan Village, not expecting that the fat Chu Yuan had been waiting for her for a long time.
"Sister, you are back. If you were a little later, I would be able to have dinner." Chu Yuan said with a smile.
Zhang Lingzhi and Bai Tian had already returned from the town to collect their stalls. Zhang Lingzhi smiled when he heard this and said, "Can I leave you to have a meal?"
"Hey, you're welcome then." Chu Yuan winked at Bai Banxia and motioned to go aside to talk.
When Bai Banxia heard her mother say that she wanted to add more food tonight, she hurriedly shouted: "Mom, aunt, please don't add food tonight, the little fat guy is trying to lose weight."
"We don't care about this meal to lose weight. Just give people something good to eat when we come here." Zhang Lingzhi helped.
If you want to lose weight, you don’t care about this one meal, or you don’t care about every meal. You just need to open your legs and keep your mouth shut. One of them is indispensable.
Bai Banxia didn't argue with her mother, since she wasn't the one who lost weight anyway.
She went to the backyard with the little fat man. The little fat man mysteriously stuffed a purse into her and whispered: "The medicines are all sold. According to the price we agreed on, this is your money."
She opened her purse and took a look. Yes, it was very stable.
"You didn't increase the price randomly, did you?" she asked.
"Absolutely not. Business is running smoothly and I won't mess around." The little fat man patted his chest and said, "You should put it away quickly so that your wealth is not wasted."
Bai Banxia couldn't help but laugh, "You are quite thoughtful, not bad. I will give you some medicine later and you can sell it."
"Okay!" the little fat man said happily.
He boasted to Bai Banxia again, "I really made money this time. I bought two flowers for my mother and a pen and ink set for my father. They were very happy.
Already."
"Okay, quite filial." Bai Banxia captured the key point in his words, "Hair flower? Did you buy it at a cloth shop?"
"Hehe, it's just like what you did." The little fat man scratched his head, "I respect my mother and pay attention to my heart. I don't have enough money to buy expensive jewelry."
Bai Banxia nodded, "That's true, my hair flowers are designed with a sense of design, which is not available outside."
"It's more profitable to make your designs into gold and silver," the little fat man said.
"Not necessarily. I'm originally looking for something new. If it's gold and silver, it's not new, and it's not suitable for us. After all, no one in my family is a silversmith." Bai Banxia said.
The little fat man thought about it, and it seems that this is the truth, and it doesn't have to be expensive.
He seemed to have learned something new again.
"However, if I design it and you find a skilled craftsman to make it, you should be able to sell it for a big price, but the place for sale definitely cannot be here." Bai Banxia added.
"That's right, that's what my dad said about how different goods are sold in different ways." The little fat man felt that he didn't think enough. His dad had mentioned it before, but he didn't seem to pay much attention.
Bai Banxia smiled and said: "It's like if I designed a pure gold headband with pearls and corals on it, and sold it in the village, who do you think would be willing to buy it in our village? My second cousin is getting married soon, and I will give it to my second cousin.
My sister-in-law has designed a phoenix crown with flowers on the head, which is beautiful but does not require a high cost. But no matter how beautiful it is, wealthy families in Beijing will not choose it when marrying their daughters. They must choose gold and silver jewelry."
The little fat man nodded vigorously, "I was too narrow-minded before. When I heard you say this, I felt like I was enlightened and I suddenly figured out a lot."
Bai Banxia raised her eyebrows and asked, "What have you figured out?"
"I want to take part in the imperial examination, I want to go to Beijing!" the little fat man said with a confident look on his face.
"Pfft..." Bai Banxia laughed, "But you look like you are ignorant."
"So it is said that people should not be judged by their appearance. I was beaten to death by my mother when I was very young. Even if my mother dotes on me, she will beat me to death if I don't study hard." The little fat man's face wrinkled together when he said it, which shows that when he was a child,
There were many nightmares of being beaten.
Bai Banxia understood immediately after thinking about it, the little fat man's mother was quite far-sighted. No matter how much she doted on him, she had to study hard and not be raised like a waste.
"Since you want to take the imperial examination, you should work hard and don't go into business. You won't be able to do anything half-heartedly." Bai Banxia reminded.
The little fat man shook his head like a rattle, "I'm a person who relies entirely on rote memorization. It would be great if I could get into Beijing by taking the exam, but I don't want to be an official."
"I've heard a proverb, one year as a local official, you get a lot of snowflakes and silver." Bai Banxia rephrased it and said it.
"That's all dirty money earned by plundering people's wealth and wealth. I don't dare to touch it. A gentleman loves his money and gets it wisely." The little fat man said seriously.
Oops, that's good. This guy has a very upright outlook on life. It seems he didn't read the book in vain.
Soon it was time to eat, and the little fat boy sat next to the old lady. Maybe the old lady liked this kind of chubby boy. The old lady kept putting meat and vegetables on him, and his mouth was full of oil. Anyway, he didn’t have to think about losing weight.
.
After dinner, the little fat man said goodbye and left. Qi Zhen and Bai Banxia went to the back mountain to train the defense team.
On the way, Qi Zhen whispered: "Put away the money."
"Yeah." Bai Banxia nodded. With more money, it's not convenient to carry it around with you.
"You said now that you have money, is it better to buy real estate or a house or a shop?" She felt that Qi Zhen knew a lot. Even if he couldn't remember his past experience, he could still give some good suggestions.
"Each has its own advantages. The income from the land is real, but it is affected by the weather. If the house is just needed to live in, it is the most cost-effective, otherwise it may not be easy to rent out. As for the shop, the investment is large, and the rental income is slow. If it is your own
When doing business, it depends on location and business ability." Qi Zhen analyzed slowly.
Bai Banxia nodded, "What you said makes sense. If you have money, what are you going to invest in?"
"Invest in your wife." Qi Zhen spat out four words.
Bai Banxia was dumbfounded, "Are you so anxious to get a wife?"
"Didn't you tell me to save my money as a wife?" Qi Zhen couldn't help laughing when he saw her round eyes.
