Chapter 11 What is the scope of their activities?
"Tap water? Will it be cheaper than mineral water?"
Xiao Heng has been increasingly able to accept the definition of mineral water, and now he can open this bottle.
"Yes, it's cheaper, but it's not easy to get directly, you need to boil it." Xu Jiaojiao wants to make money, but since there is a drought there, tap water is the best choice.
Besides, according to Xiao Heng's generosity in giving money, it is more than enough to pay a month's water bill at a time.
"Okay, then I need it, even if it's for the servants to bathe, it's very useful."
In a drought, water is hard to come by, even the pools of rich people don't have much water.
If he can open one, it can be regarded as a benefit to the people.
"Well, actually I have another idea. You can dig a well and bury the water pipes underneath, so that each family can take what they need, either for use or drinking, but the cost will be higher."
Xu Jiaojiao said. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but ideas kept popping out of her little brain.
Maybe it was the gene of making money that was playing tricks on her.
There was a tap on the first floor, and the water was very strong. If you can find a suitable water pipe to transport the water directly, you can really complete the basic use of a well.
Listening to what she said, Xiao Heng's eyes lit up.
This proprietress is really smart. Any idea can solve their urgent problems.
It is rare to see such a delicate and smart girl in the palace.
Maybe it's because of the different times they live in. There are no restrictions on learning and knowledge acquisition in modern times.
If he has something to do in the future, he also wants to open a girls' school and let Xu Jiaojiao teach them some new knowledge.
"Boss Xu, I will repay you for your kindness after I return to Beijing. If there is anything I like in your house, you can take it at will."
"It's just that I don't know if you can go back to Beijing with me."
Xiao Heng remembered that his men couldn't see their beds connected together, so could she go back to Beijing with him?
"Then let's give it a try."
Xu Jiaojiao did what she said and stepped directly on his bed. When she passed by, a wave of heat came over her.
It was similar to the feeling when she went out.
But it was acceptable.
She got off the bed from Xiao Heng's side, looked back at the bed connected to it, and felt magical.
"It's actually like this." After muttering, she looked at Xiao Heng's room again. It was antique, with a teacup on the table, just like what we saw in TV dramas.
"Is it from there?"
Xu Jiaojiao asked, pointing in the direction of the door, and walked away.
Xiao Heng was also curious whether she could go out, so he followed her and responded, "Yes."
After Xu Jiaojiao opened the door, she could only see a cloud of fog and nothing.
"Is it foggy here?"
"There's bright moonlight outside. Today is the sixteenth, and it's brighter than usual." Xiao Heng immediately denied the explanation, and at the same time realized something. He looked at her and asked, "Can't you see it?"
Xu Jiaojiao shook her head, "I can't see it."
"So, when I come to your place, my scope of activity is only this room of yours?"
She didn't know if it was true, but according to the current situation, there was no problem.
"Then why can this king go downstairs?" Xiao Heng was puzzled.
He had more than one room to move around in Xu Jiaojiao's place.
Xu Jiaojiao walked back and forth thinking, and Xiao Heng silently closed the door.
Although she couldn't go out, others could come in. If her subordinates saw Boss Xu in this outfit, it would be bad for her reputation.
It was also bad for him.
Then, she suddenly snapped her fingers and guessed with a look of surprise.
"Maybe it's because my building belongs to me, and if the door is closed, it won't be discovered by others, so you can move freely, and maybe you can't leave the store."
She was not sure, but it would be a good idea to verify it.
"Let's go and try it and you'll know!"
"How to try?"
Before Xiao Heng could react, he was pulled away.
He lowered his head to look at the hand that Xu Jiaojiao was holding, pursed his lips and said nothing.
She was really brave, pulling the prince's hand casually, but he didn't even think of getting angry.
They returned to Xu Jiaojiao's room, and a cool breeze came over them. It was indeed much more comfortable than his room.
"Open the window and take a look."
Xu Jiaojiao opened the window, "What do you see outside?"
"Just a cloud of fog, just like the door downstairs." Xiao Heng said truthfully.
He couldn't see anything.
Then he immediately thought, could it be that they could only see the room that belonged to them, and the places outside that might be seen by others would naturally form a barrier.
"Can't you see those houses?"
"I can't see them."
The next second, the two turned their heads and looked at each other, "So that's it!"
Xu Jiaojiao sat back on the bed, "It's really strange, time travel but not complete travel, maybe it's the system's protection for us."
"System?" Xiao Heng's ability to capture the key points has always been very strong, and he instantly grasped the key points of this sentence.
Xu Jiaojiao pursed her lips and didn't intend to answer. Besides, isn't this more fantasy than electronic products?
She waved her hands and said casually: "They are all small details, don't think too much, as long as we can make sure that the things can be shipped out, isn't it good enough?"
In fact, she also wanted to go to the streets of ancient times and experience that feeling firsthand.
Now it seems that there is no chance.
"Yeah, it's good that it can be shipped out." Xiao Heng agreed with this statement very much. What they are in urgent need of now is supplies.
Therefore, it would be good if the poor people can receive food and water.
Xu Jiaojiao was tired from all the torment and felt sleepy. She closed her eyes and stammered: "I'm going to sleep first, good night."
Then, her breathing gradually became steady, and it seemed that she was fast asleep.
Xiao Heng was lying flat but not sleepy. He turned his head to look at her curled up sleeping, and the corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously.
He wanted all the people in the world to live a carefree life like her.
To work from sunrise to sunset, and to have enough to eat through hard work.
It is not necessary to be rich, as long as the family is happy. It
would be best if women could also have a way to make a living.
But now it seems that the road to realization is very difficult. According to the education he received, women are only the foils of men, or objects to manipulate power in the court.
The next day.
When Xu Jiaojiao woke up, Xiao Heng's bed had been folded and there was no trace of him.
Maybe he got up early to go to work.
She got up and drank a sip of ice water before going to the bathroom to wash up.
After changing into a simple shirt and shorts, she went downstairs to open the door.
The streets were bustling in the morning, with many people riding their electric donkeys to buy groceries or having already gone home.
Xu Jiaojiao had just gotten up and was not very hungry, so she just casually took a piece of bread and ham from the shelf and sat at the door to take a few bites.
The advantage of running a small shop is that you can eat snacks as you like and you won't be hungry.
Thinking that her help has also enabled more people to have meals, she was even happier.
The money she collected was what she deserved, and it cost money to purchase goods~
Xu Jiaojiao leaned back in the recliner to play with her mobile phone right after she had finished her meal. The chair was left by her father, made of wood, and creaked when shaken, but it was very comfortable.
While she was lying down, the air conditioner delivery man arrived.
"Is that Xu Jiaojiao? The air conditioner you bought has arrived. Where is it installed?"
Xu Jiaojiao immediately sat up and led the people inside. "Put it inside. You are finally here!"
