Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

The next day they went to Baiyilou. The business in Baiyilou seemed to be very good, and there were quite a lot of people in the small shop. When a few people went there, the shopkeeper immediately called out, "Boss Li, Boss Mao."

"Is your boss here?" Mao Xiaosui asked.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Please wait a moment."

Then he shouted upstairs, and soon a guy ran down.

The shopkeeper gave a few instructions to the waiters to call Bai Heng, then he took them up to the second floor, settled in the room, and then left.

Qin An poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, and said, "This Baiyi Building is a bit like the "Yong Pavilion" in the capital.

When the two of them looked at him, he explained. "Yongge can be regarded as the Baiyi Building and Caiyi Square in the capital. Many ministers or the women of wealthy businessmen will go there to buy clothes."

"The rooms there are also divided into three, six or nine grades. You can receive guests in different rooms according to your status. I'm afraid this is the same in Baiyi Building."

Mao Xiaosui was not surprised. At that time, they had the same sense of déjà vu as wealthy people visiting luxury stores, so it was not surprising.

Bai Heng came a little late. He opened the door and came in when Qin An finished drinking a pot of tea and was about to find the hut. He was still a handsome and elegant young man. When he sat down, he used his fan to cover his yawn. When he raised his hand to pour the tea, he realized that it was gone and stopped drinking. He said, "I thought you guys weren't coming."

Mao Xiaosui smiled, "Since my boss didn't refuse, it means we still have hope, so we will naturally come."

Bai Heng shook his fan and seemed to be still hesitating.

Mao Xiaosui felt cold for him. Before he could think clearly, he asked, "If you have any concerns, please tell me directly."

Bai Heng closed the fan, put it on the table, folded his hands in his arms, and then said, "There are rabbit skins in Baiyi Building that cooperate. It is a bit against the rules to cooperate with you rashly.

"Can't you afford to offend the other party Baiyilou?"

Bai Heng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "There is a chamber of commerce in the county. It may not be a bad thing for Baiyi Building to leave, but it may not be a good thing either."

Mao Xiaosui nodded and stood up, "Then I won't embarrass my boss."

Li Yunshan and Qin An stood up immediately, but Bai Heng was stunned.

Mao Xiaosui didn't even explain and went out directly.

After leaving Baiyi Building, Mao Xiaosui said, "We wouldn't have come here if he had made his words clear last time." Mainly because he was too embarrassed to ask last time.

Qin An also said, "It's best not to get involved in this kind of thing."

Mao Xiaosui agreed and told Li Yunshan, "We won't do business in the county. Let's look outside. If we interfere in a place that is stuck in its own way, it will only cause trouble. It's unnecessary."

Li Yunshan had no objection, and everyone left the alley of Baiyilou. The shopkeeper chased after them and said, "Our boss said he would consider it."

Mao Xiaosui shook his head, "We won't be doing business in Baiyi Building. Please tell your boss."

The shopkeeper was also shocked by Mao Xiaosui's words and watched them walk away.

Bai Heng came out slowly, and the shopkeeper immediately repeated his words.

Bai Heng narrowed his eyes, "They don't want to cause trouble."

The shopkeeper asked tentatively, "Then let's..."

Bai Heng sighed, "Now this chamber of commerce can no longer bring us benefits, but once we leave Baiyi Building, we will definitely be targeted."

"Caiyifang doesn't have good intentions, otherwise they wouldn't always bring people to our Baiyi Building. They want us to exit first. In this way, they will not only get a lot of benefits, but when the real trouble breaks out, they will be punished." The impact is also minimal.”

"Then we're just going to drag it on like this?" the shopkeeper said "tsk".

Baiyilou looks good on the surface, but in fact its business is bleak. The Chamber of Commerce was originally established to make business better. For so many years, outsiders have not been allowed to intervene in the county's business. It did gain a lot of benefits at the beginning, but in recent years Due to the development of other counties and the rise of hawkers, their business in other counties is getting worse and worse...

However, the Chamber of Commerce does not allow foreign trade, which has also led to many things in the county being eliminated over the years and not as good as those in other counties.

Bai Heng: "There are many more people who can't stand it than Baiyilou. Why are you in a hurry? Just wait quietly."

The shopkeeper should say "Yes."

It was still early, and it was still early enough to go back to town, but it was too cold in the afternoon, so after much thought, they decided to leave in the morning.

The three of them ate noodles on the roadside and returned to the inn. Mao Xiaosui asked for a bucket of hot water and planned to take a bath.

She told Li Yunshan, "When we buy a house in the future, we need to find a place to take a bath. It doesn't feel clean even if we wipe it with water all day long."

Li Yunshan nodded, "Go and have a look in the spring. If you find something suitable, buy it."

It's very comfortable to take a hot bath in winter and rub your back. Li Yunshan originally wanted to use the one she had soaked in to wash it directly, but Mao Xiaosui felt that the one she had used was not clean, so he replaced it with a new one.

After washing up, the two moved the brazier to the edge of the bed and sat talking.

The New Year's goods he bought were piled on the ground. Mao Xiaosui was a little greedy and brought over a bag of melon seeds and a bag of preserved fruits. He also brought a small jar of wine that Li Yunshan bought.

Li Yunshan took a sip of the stew and waited until the intensity subsided and he felt comfortable before grabbing the melon seeds and eating them.

In the evening, they were too lazy to move, so they ordered a few dishes from the inn.

Qin An looked like he had slept all afternoon, his face was covered with red marks, and he was a little listless while eating.

Li Yunshan asked, "Are you sick?"

Qin An shook his head, "My head hurts after sleeping for a long time."

Mao Xiaosui: "I'm afraid you let the charcoal smoke." Otherwise, the people here are smart. They know about clay stoves and clay tubes to discharge the smoke. In this way, the fire is strong and does not smoke people. It is better than this kind of brazier. Much more convenient.

Qin An still shook his head, "I don't know."

Mao Xiaosui reminded: "You should light a fire and keep the windows open at night when you sleep."

Qin An nodded, put down his chopsticks after half a bowl of rice, and stood up to go back to sleep.

Mao Xiaosui said, "Go back and open the window for some fresh air. Don't rush to sleep. Go for a walk and wake up."

Qin An still nodded, rubbed his head and went out.

The weather was sunny in the morning, and the sun was warm enough not to melt the snow on the road. After breakfast, the three of them set off on the road early.

He came with one horse and left with two horses, so the journey was much faster.

In the carriage, the stove was lit, the soup woman was drunk, and a small pot was used to boil some tea and snacks, which was quite comfortable.

Qin An and Li Yunshan took turns driving the horses, and with the windproof hat Mao Xiaosui bought, it wasn't particularly cold.

A few people started on their way as soon as the sun came up and didn't arrive at the town until after lunch.

The officials and their families who collected grain in the town were still there. Mao Xiaosui looked out through the window. He didn't see anyone in the village and didn't dare to stick his head out, for fear of meeting someone near the village.

When they got home and unloaded their things, the two of them were about to send the horses to the breeding farm. Mao Xiaosui told Li Yunshan, "Put on your hat. It will be bad if you meet people near the village. They like to gossip the most."

Li Yunshan nodded, took the hat from Qin An's head, put it on and walked out of the alley.

Li Ruyi was sleeping at the old lady's house. Mao Xiaosui didn't call her. He and the old lady moved things home and lit the stove. Then Mao Xiaosui asked the old lady, "Are Ruyi and Ankang good these days?"

"Be good. Yiyi wanted to take Ruyi to her restaurant. Ruyi didn't even go. Ankang is also good. I pick him up and drop him off every day and cover him up so no one can recognize him..."

The old lady added, "On the afternoon you left, a few people came to the house. Ruyi called him Second Grandpa and said he was here to deliver food. I asked him to let him go but they were unwilling to let him go and finally took him away."

Mao Xiaosui nodded to show that he understood.
