When Tan Wanchun went to Bu Yuanhai's house to get Qi Yunxiao's bedding, both Bu Yuanhai and Bu Hongzhu were stunned.

"Manager Tan, what's wrong? Is something done wrong?" Bu Yuanhai stepped forward to find out what was going on.

Tan Wanchun waved his hand: "No, not at all. Our young island master is worried, so he feels more at ease directing operations on-site."

That's just to fool the kids. Qi Yunxiao only comes here at night; he doesn't come during the day at all. What is he supposed to command at night?

Bu Yuanhai then understood: his daughter's gaze was too direct, scaring the man away.

However, given his daughter's reputation, he couldn't say anything more and could only watch helplessly as Tan Wanchun took away Qi Yunxiao's bedding.

After Tan Wanchun walked away, Bu Hongzhu stamped her foot and complained, "Father..."

Bu Yuanhai's face darkened: "You still have the nerve to shout? Don't you even think about why they don't want to stay even one more day and want to leave immediately?"

Bu Hongzhu wasn't stupid; she immediately looked dejected.

Bu Yuanhai sighed, "Fortunately, Steward Tan's bedding hasn't been moved out yet, so he should still be staying here tonight..."

Tan Wanchun would indeed have to stay at Bu Yuanhai's house for another day, because only Qi Yunxiao's house was truly finished. The others hadn't even had their roofs built yet.

If we move in, it will be troublesome if it rains at night.

So in the evening, Tan Wanchun prepared some food for Qi Yunxiao and served him dinner before going to Bu Yuanhai's house.

Unexpectedly, Bu Yuanhai's family hadn't eaten yet and were waiting for him to come over; they even prepared wine!

Tan Wanchun politely declined the offer of this sweet potato wine.

It doesn't taste strong at first, but it has a strong aftereffect, and the aroma is also lacking!

After drinking the pear blossom wine given by the princess, who would still be interested in this stuff?

But Bu Yuanhai kept apologizing and urging him to drink, so Tan Wanchun had no choice but to drink two large bowls.

When he was drunk and his vision was blurred, Tan Wanchun belatedly realized: Bu Yuanhai had ill intentions!

Tan Wanchun was helped back to the house by Bu Hongzhu. In his dream, he felt as if he had touched a fish, smooth and silky to the touch, with undulating curves...

When he woke up with a splitting headache and saw the dark little girl beside him, he knew he had made a mistake!

One wrong step can lead to eternal regret!

Tan Wanchun dared not let his mistake affect his future cooperation with the Bu clan, so he gritted his teeth and agreed to take Bu Hongzhu as his concubine.

The Bu Yuanhai couple beamed with joy. Bu Hongzhu, who had become Tan Wanchun's woman the night before, now looked at Tan Wanchun with eyes as clear as autumn water.

Tan Wanchun shuddered under the gaze, unconsciously recalling the silk satin from the previous night.

Although the little black girl looks dark, the feel of her skin is really... tsk tsk, so fragrant!

When Qi Yunxiao saw Bu Hongzhu, who was standing behind Tan Wanchun with a shy smile, he understood and nodded to the two of them: "Let's get to work."

So, Bu Hongzhu was hired as a maid to cook and do laundry for everyone.

She wouldn't let Qi Yunxiao touch his clothes, insisting that the Hidden Dragon Guards wash them.

When the first shipment of supplies arrived as payment for their labor, the residents of Liuli Island were overjoyed!

Fine cotton cloth!

Coarse cotton cloth!

White rice!

Fine noodles!

Hair ornaments for little girls...

All of them were converted into work points.

A man can earn five pounds of coarse grains by working hard all day, which can be exchanged for two pounds of white rice.

A woman can earn four pounds of coarse grains by working all day, or exchange them for two hair ornaments...

Tan Wanchun thought: Who would be so foolish? To do a whole day's work just to get two hair accessories? They're neither food nor clothing...

But when he saw that he had changed twenty hair accessories in a single day, Tan Wanchun felt deeply that his vision was not broad enough.

No wonder the young island lord said to prepare some hair accessories that women like...

They were actually willing to spend a whole day's effort to exchange for a hair accessory that cost only five coins!

Tan Wanchun suddenly felt full of energy.

When Qi Yunxiao saw the letter Shen Qingyu sent again, his eyes were filled with deep emotion.

He misses his wife.

I wonder how his wife is doing while he's been here? Does she have a good appetite? Is she experiencing morning sickness? Has her belly gotten any bigger?

The woman suggested that the local residents could exchange coconut oil for daily necessities, and the coconut oil could be used to make soap.

Thus, the exchange event of exchanging 10 pounds of coconut oil for 5 pounds of whole grains began on Liuli Island.

Of course, these exchange rates were calculated by Tan Wanchun after thoroughly understanding the prices in various places.

Similarly, the person in charge was Tan Wanchun.

Qi Yunxiao felt that Tan Wanchun was really good and useful.

Therefore, Qi Yunxiao was exceptionally generous to Tan Wanchun, not only making him the official manager of Liuli Island, but also increasing his monthly salary to twenty taels of silver.

And that doesn't even include dividends.

If managed well, Tan Wanchun could even receive half of the profits made at the end of the year!

Who can withstand this?

Tan Wanchun was eager to do everything in his power to get this done.

The Bu Yuanhai family was therefore extremely fortunate!

Ever since Bu Hongzhu became Tan Wanchun's concubine, Bu Yuanhai's family has been able to eat their fill every single meal!

And we can often eat meat!

This is real meat, not those smelly seafood shells from the sea!

It's Bu Hongzhu. Recently, because she doesn't have to be in the sun all the time, she has actually gotten a bit fairer. She used to look like a dark-skinned girl, but now she's chocolate-colored, and she's also grown a bit taller.

Shen Qingyu, from Whale Fall Island, was quite satisfied with the island's increasingly well-organized zoning.

Shen Qingyu distributed various fruit and vegetable seeds suitable for planting on the island to the Hidden Dragon Guards and his personal soldiers, so that they could lead the women and children who had stayed on the island to plant vegetables together.

The ducks roam freely in the mangroves, eating all kinds of seafood, and laying eggs with great enthusiasm. Now, a family lives in the mangroves and spends all day raising ducks and collecting their eggs.

Shen Qingyu then taught them how to make salted duck eggs.

When the salted duck eggs, glistening with sand and oozing oil, were placed in front of Shen Qingyu, she felt deeply that if she didn't make egg yolk pastries and the like, she would be doing these ducks a disservice!

The coconut oil they acquired was returned from Liuli Island by ship, so Shen Qingyu naturally built a courtyard on Whale Fall Island and started making coconut oil soap.

When the first batches of glass, salted duck eggs, and coconut oil soap appeared in shops throughout the Great Xia and Great Qi regions via a fleet of ships, it caused quite a stir.

Who would have thought that Princess Qingyu, even after leaving Daqi, would still think of Daqi and send so many things to Daqi.

Although these things cost money, the price is really not expensive!

Especially glass products.

Those smooth and translucent glass bottles, glass bowls, glass cups...

There are also glass shards that are said to be used to make windows...

The first place Shen Qingyu sent it to was the imperial palace.

When the translucent glass piece was presented to Consort Rong and His Majesty the Emperor, their eyes lit up!

The guard who was in charge of receiving the goods also brought a letter: "Your Majesty, this is a secret memorial written to you by Lord Qi and Princess Qingyu..."
