Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 237: Divine Abilities

You can also use your ship to deliver it. Anyway, it won't take much longer for my carriage caravan to deliver it than your ship. Although the ship is a little slower, it will still be in time. "Lord Bai laughed, accepted Hua Lei's lobbying, and agreed to see what goods there were.

So, Hua Lei took out everything on the farm that was suitable for long-distance transportation, and told Lord Bai one by one how to eat this dried winter melon best, how to make this dried eggplant more delicious, and how this dried pumpkin tasted better and softer when soaked in warm water than in cold water.

Also, although wooden handle toothbrushes are more expensive, they are sturdy and last longer, making them suitable for strong soldiers. Bamboo handle toothbrushes are cheaper, and the bristles are exactly the same as those of wooden handle toothbrushes. If you use them carefully, they will not break easily.

This soap comes in ordinary packaging. It is especially useful for cleaning during bathing. Just apply a little bit and it will produce rich foam. Rub it a little and rinse with water, and all the dirt on your body will disappear. The effect is very good. If you don't believe it, Lord Bai can take a few bars of soap back home and try it today.

This is mugwort soap, which mainly has a bactericidal effect. If you have itchy red spots on your body, you can try this. It’s not 100% effective, but it’s still okay.

This is a mint soap with a refreshing smell. If you use this soap while taking a bath, your body will feel cool. Moreover, its most important function is to repel mosquitoes. Even if you are bitten by a mosquito, taking a bath with this mint soap can also relieve itching to a certain extent.

This is a soap with the scent of osmanthus. It is a luxury to use it for bathing. However, it is very effective for washing hair. After using it, your hair will have the fragrance of osmanthus, which is very pleasant. If you don't believe it, smell it. Hualei put a piece of osmanthus soap under Lord Bai's nose.

Anyway, after all these words, in Hualei's mouth, there is nothing bad in Yuanying Manor, only better, and the price is not expensive, only more economical. It depends on what you need. Anyway, everything is very delicious and can be used.

Lord Bai listened and watched, nodding his head repeatedly at Hualei's eloquence. With her eloquent tongue, would there be any goods that could not be sold? No. Even the feces and urine of chickens, ducks, geese and pigs on the farm were used by her to make money in disguise. How could Xijiang not use these edible and useful things?

To put it bluntly, even if you shipped a boatload of chicken, duck, goose and pig feces and urine to Western Xinjiang, it would be very welcome. The land there is too barren. If Shangjing City was not too far away from Western Xinjiang, Lord Bai would probably be fooled by Hualei and send all the feces and urine to Western Xinjiang to improve the soil.

So, whatever Hualei brought out for introduction, regardless of food or drink, Lord Bai bought them all with a wave of his hand. In addition to the 200 jars of salted duck eggs and 130 jars of sour beans, the sour cabbage was increased from 70 jars to 170 jars, and then 100 pigs were pickled into salted pork.

All the dried winter melons, eggplants, pumpkins, tofu strips and other dried vegetables on the farm were also taken. Hualei calculated the carrying capacity of the ship and found it was far from enough, so she put 30,000 toothbrushes and 8,000 bars of soap in it.

The Western Xinjiang army has 200,000 soldiers, not including the local people. These 30,000 toothbrushes and 8,000 bars of soap are just a waste of space. In fact, the weight of all the dried vegetables and toothbrushes added together is not much, and they don't take up much weight. Finally, Lord Bai asked for another 180 jars of rice wine before he stopped eating.

But the butler Bai beside him opened his mouth wide, unable to close it. In his heart, he kept shouting that he had made a mistake. He thought Miss Hua was a Buddhist seller. When he ordered a few more chickens and ducks during the New Year, she would remind herself that it was a waste to order too much. Now there is no trace of the original shadow.

At this point, Miss Hua wanted to stuff everything in her manor into the hands of Marquis Bai. She had originally thought that there might be some extra silver notes of 1,000 taels as a deposit yesterday, but now, even the change was not enough. Butler Bai silently handed over another 10,000 taels of silver notes as a deposit. It was estimated that when the shipping fee was added, even if the 20% discount was given, she would have to hand over 5,000 taels of silver notes, and it might not be enough.

Wow, Miss Hua is really amazing. Just by talking, she turned her revenue from one thousand taels to sixteen thousand taels. Which boss in Shangjing City has such ability? I have lived for most of my life and have never seen such a thing. Selling vegetables and toothbrushes can make so much money.

Moreover, the Lord wanted a toothbrush with a wooden handle. Alas, the Lord was fooled by Miss Hua. A toothbrush with a wooden handle is one hundred coins more expensive than a toothbrush with a bamboo handle. I heard that the toothbrushes sent to Lord Pei in Mobei were all bamboo handles. Butler Bai was smacking his lips.

Hualei was very happy to have made a big deal. She asked Xiao Kongge to draw up a contract, collected a deposit, and both parties signed it. She also gave instructions on what to do next.

Seeing that Lord Bai was still sitting on the chair and had no intention of leaving, she brewed tea again and poured a cup for Lord Bai. The two began to chat about all sorts of things. In fact, the main reason was that Lord Bai didn't want to leave, and Hua Lei was embarrassed to chase him away.

Lord Bai sat on a chair and looked around the simple study. There was a simple bamboo bookshelf with a few books and some papers clamped with wooden clips on it. An ordinary rectangular table served as a desk, and on the desk were ordinary pens, ink, paper and inkstone. They were all neatly arranged and wiped very clean.

He looked at Hualei again. The little girl was only fourteen years old. She was sitting opposite him, smiling and talking. Her almond-shaped eyes were twinkling on her fair and rosy face. People who didn't know her would think she was an innocent little girl.

Little did they know that this little girl had just turned her business from one thousand taels into sixteen thousand taels. In addition to her amazing eloquence, the abilities and means behind it should not be underestimated.

After taking a sip of tea, Lord Bai stroked the teacup and spoke slowly, "I heard that Miss Hua's ancestral home is in Tongde Town in Jiangnan City?"

"Yes, Lord Bai, but strictly speaking, Tongde Town is not my ancestral home. My grandfather was from Lingyang Town in the east of Lingnan, which is thousands of miles away from Tongde Town. However, my grandfather was the only son in three generations. He lost his father when he was two years old, and he was an orphan with a widowed mother. He was not treated well by his clan members.

When he was fourteen, my great-grandmother passed away, so my grandfather never returned to Lingyang Town after he passed the imperial examination at the age of fifteen.
