Chapter 139 Too Naive
“Hehe~”
Bai Qing laughed happily, Bai Qingyou was indeed a stupid person with a lot of money.
Pearl said this word very accurately.
Not everyone can live a prosperous life after traveling through time. Even she couldn't guarantee how good her life would be in the future, let alone Bai Qingyou who was not thinking straight.
Did she really think that she could sit back and relax after memorizing a few poems and gaining a reputation as a talented woman?
Too naive!
She opened the shop in the name of making money for the Third Prince, diving in without understanding the actual situation. She wanted to make a fortune, but ended up losing everything she had.
In the past, people would pursue healthy eating, combining meat and vegetables, eating more vegetables and less meat.
Moreover, in the past life, the resources were abundant and basically in surplus. It was impossible for one person to eat the amount for the whole family. If one person spent dozens or hundreds of dollars to eat, it would usually not be enough to cover the cost.
But in ancient times when resources were extremely scarce, there were very few families who could eat enough. When they came across such cheap meat, who cared whether it was healthy or not? You have to eat as much as you can.
"Let's go and have dinner at Dian Mo Pavilion."
Bai Qingyou's life will be more exciting now that she has lost Chi Zhuoxu's protection.
......
Leisurely Self-service
The shopkeeper stood in front of Bai Qingyou with a sad face.
"Master Bai, we can't go on like this. They only eat meat, and the food we stock up every day is not enough."
Bai Qingyou was also a little surprised: "These lowly people, they never get enough meat, aren't they afraid of being unhealthy?"
"Master Bai, they are all poor people. As long as they have enough to eat, who cares about their health?"
Is health more important than survival?
Bai Qingyou still insisted on his idea: "After a few days, when they have had enough meat, they will definitely eat more vegetables. Then we will start to make money."
She was almost bullied to death in the mansion, and she finally persuaded Chi Zhuoxu to let her go out and earn money. She must achieve something.
Here she can command others to work, and she is the master.
It feels like a liberated serf singing!
I have seen so many business models in my previous life. No matter which one you pick, making money is easy.
By then, she will have the final say in the backyard of the Third Prince's Mansion.
That damn prince's consort must give way to her.
The shopkeeper hesitated to speak. How could it be possible?
Who would eat vegetables when there is meat in front of them?
If it were him, he would also pick the meat to eat.
I really don't know where this white concubine gets her confidence from?
well!
So the discussion suggested: "Master Bai, let's raise the price?"
Bai Qingyou refused without a second thought: "No, we are opening a business and we must be fair to everyone. When we opened the business, we said that the first three days would be 10 wen per person, but now it's 20 wen per person, and we can't change it."
"Then it would be fine to stipulate that each person can only eat one plate of meat."
"That won't work either. Self-service, what is self-service? It means you can eat as much as you want. We can't destroy our reputation."
The shopkeeper was very upset. Nothing worked. What could he do if he kept losing money every day?
He was really worried and advised earnestly:
"Master Bai, it's only been five days and we have already lost over a thousand taels."
If we continue to lose money, we won’t be able to continue the business and will end up closing down.
But Bai Qingyou obviously couldn't listen anymore, all he could think about was making a lot of money and turning his life around.
She waved her hand, signaling the shopkeeper to shut up.
"Don't worry, this is only temporary. After a while, when those people get tired of eating meat, that's when we can make money."
"Can..."
"Okay, you can listen to me. Tell the kitchen to prepare more meat and continue tomorrow."
The shopkeeper has a bitter face. He is losing money every day. It is hard to say whether he can survive until the New Year.
Well, it’s not his money to pay anyway, so just let his masters do whatever they want.
He didn't know how many times he had sighed in the past few days. He was breathing out more than breathing in.
Anyway, he is a servant in the Third Prince's Mansion. If this store is closed, he can still work in another store.
The Third Prince is such a fool. This concubine Bai is such a spendthrift. He should come and take care of her as soon as possible.
......
Fuzhou Suburbs
Chi Ming and Shu Feng watched many soldiers and bricklayers working in the snow.
"Bang..."
The newly built igloo collapsed and turned into a pile of snow fragments.
Shu Feng scratched his head: "This is a bit difficult."
I've never seen anyone build a house with snow.
Snow is so soft, how can it be used to build a house like bricks?
Strange, really strange!
Chi Ming lowered his head and looked at the drawings given by Bai Qinghuan again, then strode towards the collapsed area.
The bricklayer was so frightened when he saw this that he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am guilty."
They can only build square houses with roofs covered with reeds or thatch, or better yet, tiles. They really can't build igloos.
The Regent looks so unhappy, will he kill them?
Even when kneeling, his legs were trembling and cold sweat was pouring down.
Chi Ming stared at the snow, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Everyone, get up. I will cover it with you."
One of the older masons quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no."
Your Highness's precious body is precious, how can he do such rough work?
"We will be able to build it after a few tries. You..."
Chi Ming ignored what he said and personally chose a place. He first dug the ground lower, then used the snow bricks cut and brought by the soldiers to arrange them bit by bit, and then shaped them.
He placed the snow bricks one by one, and the igloo became higher and higher, while the opening on top became smaller and smaller.
The masons watched excitedly: "It didn't collapse. It didn't collapse."
They did the same thing just now, so why did it collapse?
The prince is worthy of being the prince, he is great at everything he does!
An hour later, Chi Ming looked at the blueprint again and made further revisions until it was exactly the same as the one on the blueprint.
Shu Feng was stunned that the prince actually had this talent.
This round igloo is simply a work of art.
He admires it!
If he could be saved at this moment, he would definitely toast the prince.
He opened his mouth to say something, but choked on a mouthful of snowflakes.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
Well, let’s toast to His Majesty with a glass of ice.
After the snowflakes in his mouth melted away, he muttered:
"If he doesn't become a prince, he can be a good bricklayer."
Chi Ming looked at the igloo intently and filled the gaps with scattered ice and snow. He did not hear what Shu Feng was mumbling.
"What did you say?"
Shu Feng slapped his own mouth silently: "I didn't say anything."
He opened his big innocent eyes, sparkling with light.
That means, see, I really didn't say anything.
Chi Ming didn't care. He knew that this guard would go crazy every now and then.
Shufeng's eyes wandered over the snow house, as if he was admiring a masterpiece.
"Your Highness is truly amazing. He built such a difficult snow house in no time."
The bricklayers and soldiers who were watching were also amazed and praised him highly.
Chi Ming was actually a little smug in his heart, as he was the only one who could understand Bai Qinghuan's drawings.
And the kind that you can learn at a glance.
The two of them really are in sync with each other.
The coldness on my body was also dispelled a little by the warmth in my heart.
Shufeng walked around the igloo, feeling extremely curious.
Miss Bai said in the letter that this igloo can allow people to survive in extremely cold environments.
He has always believed in Miss Bai's words.
But why does it feel a little strange?
Chi Ming noticed that his expression was not right and asked, "What's the problem?"
He built it exactly according to the blueprint, there is no difference.
Shu Feng slapped his forehead and realized what was going on.
