Chapter 145 Closing Down
Because the windows are not very big, there are windows only on the south wall.
The light inside is still a little worse than that in the greenhouse in the previous life.
But it is enough to feed the sweet potato vines.
Manager Wang also came in with his servants. Their eyes were as big as copper bells, their mouths were wide open and couldn't close for a long time. They stood there motionless as if they were under a spell.
"Can the room be so spacious and bright?"
"It's not this bright even in the summer."
"It seems that there is still no ventilation."
Paper-covered windows will let in air when the wind is strong, but the colored glaze can completely block it.
It's amazing.
"If there were such a bright light, wouldn't my mother's eyes not be hurt when she embroiders?"
After hearing this, Manager Wang secretly wiped away the tears from his eyes. His mother had to sell him as a servant because she went blind from embroidery.
If there had been such a house back then, his mother would probably still be fine.
"I have never seen this in my life. Today I am really enlightened."
He sighed silently in his heart. Even if there was Liuli back then, they, the common people, could not afford it.
Fortunately, he met a good boss. Seeing that he was capable, the county lady's mother trained him from the age of eight, and he became the manager at the age of eighteen.
Now I have a son and a daughter, and my life is much better than before.
He knelt down in front of Bai Qinghuan with great excitement: "It's all thanks to the county lady."
The servants also woke up from their stunned state: "Thanks to the county lady."
"Get up. I want to plant something in this room. From now on, only you few can come in. No one else is allowed. Manager Wang, do you remember this?"
"I will watch carefully and not let anyone else get close."
From today on, this room is more important than his life.
Bai Qinghuan thought of Bai Qingyou's existence. The fact that she could make colored glass could not be revealed to anyone, otherwise she would be burned as a monster.
Let's keep it secret for now. When Bai Qingyou can no longer cause any trouble, I will start mass production of colored glaze and replace all the windows in my county lord's mansion with colored glaze.
Also, we can build greenhouses and grow more vegetables, which are in short supply in Beijing during winter.
So these people still need to be punished: "You must keep your mouth shut about the colored glaze made by this county lady, as well as the new things that will appear in the future. You must know that you have all signed a death contract. If anyone leaks even a little bit of it, the whole family will be beaten to death."
She said it harshly and was prepared to do so.
She will not let go of anyone who harms her interests.
The servants knew the importance of Liuli, so they knelt down and said they dared not, and also said they would keep the secret until their death.
Bai Qinghuan knew very well that if he wanted to manage his servants well, he had to give them a sweet reward after a slap in the face.
"In the future, I will make a lot of colored glaze. You are experienced now, so I will hand this job over to Manager Wang. You will follow me and as long as you can make colored glaze of better quality, you will be rewarded."
Manager Wang is a reliable person. Over the years, he has not embezzled any of the harvest from the farm.
Mother trusts him, and she will give him a chance.
"Thank you, County Lord."
The reward from the county lord must be quite a lot. They are considered veterans and will surely make better colored glaze in the future.
Everyone is full of energy.
This is their chance to rise to prominence.
Biyun scolded a few more times and reminded Manager Wang that no one was allowed to leave the village in the next six months.
Manager Wang knew the seriousness of the matter and repeatedly assured that he would keep the person under control.
In fact, Bai Qinghuan was not afraid that they would leak the formula, because the calcium carbonate added in it was made by her personally. Others only saw the white powder added in it, and they didn't know what it was.
She dug the soil and planted the sweet potato seedlings herself before leaving.
Steward Wang and the servants were reluctant to leave and walked around the room again and again. Steward Wang arranged for the people to be on night duty before he reluctantly left.
Bai Qinghuan checks the growth of the sweet potato seedlings every day. Generally, they will take root when they encounter soil. As long as they take root, they are alive.
When the vines are long, they can be cut and used to grow more seedlings.
Her goal now is not to make it grow sweet potatoes, but to make it reproduce as much as possible.
......
Leisurely Self-service
As the New Year is approaching, common people in Beijing hear the news and come here. The people queuing up every day block Qilin Street.
Bai Qingyou was very happy. With so many people coming to her, she would be able to make a lot of money soon.
After the Chinese New Year, she can open buffets all over the country.
By that time, when she has made enough money, the Third Prince will definitely look at her differently.
She has a lot of ideas in her mind, such as making gunpowder, crossbows, etc.
They can all be of help to the Third Prince. Then she will have the final say in the mansion and will no longer be troubled by those three women.
She would definitely torture those three women to death.
The shopkeeper stood behind her holding the account book, and he was really about to cry.
The amount of compensation is increasing and I really have no money left.
"Master Bai, we can't go on any longer."
Bai Qingyou is extremely optimistic.
"Isn't it just a loss of money? We will make it back soon."
"But Master, we don't even have money for tomorrow's groceries."
"How could that be? Didn't I give you a thousand taels just the day before yesterday?"
The third prince gave her a total of five thousand taels, which she had already given to the shopkeeper gradually.
She looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Did you embezzle the money?"
The shopkeeper felt that he was wronged.
"Now we lose hundreds of taels every day, and we only spend money and not money. I wish I could split the thousand taels into two halves to spend."
"Master, this is the account book. Every penny spent is recorded. Please check it yourself to see if I have embezzled money."
The shopkeeper was also a little angry. Not only did he follow her around all day long, but she also suspected that he was greedy for money.
The account book was placed in front of her, with a clear conscience.
Bai Qingyou didn't want to look at this ancient and flowery account book, which was full of traditional Chinese characters and made his eyes hurt.
Seeing that he was telling the truth, she did not pursue the matter, believing that he would not dare to lie to her.
"I'll find a way to deal with the silver issue. You can go down first."
She didn't have much of her own private money left, so she had to take it out with great reluctance. If she could hold on for a few more days, just a few days, she would definitely be able to turn losses into profits.
I pray silently in my heart, hoping you can make money quickly.
Looking at the people queuing outside the window, I cursed inwardly: "You eat so much, are you all pigs?"
You only eat meat, you are really a pariah who has never seen good food in your life!
Two days later, the shopkeeper finally couldn't bear it any longer, so he quietly slipped out and waited at the door of the Third Prince's Mansion. Half a day later, he stopped Chi Zhuoxu.
The more Chi Zhuoxu listened, the uglier his expression became: "You said that you have lost more than five thousand taels in the past few days?"
"Yes, that Bai concubine has been saying that she can make a lot of money. This is only temporary, but Your Highness, I think she will only lose more and more."
Those who come to eat are all from poor families, and they eat several kilograms of meat every time. Even if they want to do charity, this is not the way to do it.
Chi Zhuoxu arrived at the door of Youran Zizi angrily and asked the guards to tell the people to disperse and that the restaurant would be closed for the day.
The people who were about to get in line quit doing it.
"We have been queuing for a long time, why are we not allowed to queue any more?"
The family is still waiting to eat meat.
"This store will no longer be open, so get out of here!"
"What? Closed? That won't work. I've been waiting in line for a long time."
"Yes, we are almost freezing outside. Not only do you not let us in, but you also don't allow us to queue. Do you still have the law?"
The guards drew out their swords and said, "You want to tell us about the law?"
After all, they are ordinary people, and they are instinctively afraid of these weapons.
The people did not fight with the officials, and they all dispersed with curses.
Bai Qingyou was on the second floor and became anxious when he saw this: "Who is causing trouble? Someone, get them out!"
