Since Liu Yizhong had brought it up, Su Bai had no choice but to follow his script and not take off the blindfold.

Somehow, Su Bai felt that Kong Dai was in a particularly good mood today and talked a lot more than usual. He didn't know whether it was because he successfully redeemed the eldest young lady and the non-existent Kong family's lifeblood in her belly, or because his trip to Qingdao went relatively smoothly.

Su Bai was indeed surprised by how smoothly the trip to Qingdao went. It only took Kong Dai and the manager of the Qingdao branch of Kong Family Trading Company two days to find sellers for the items and spare parts on Su Bai's list, but some equipment on the list remained unsold.

After much inquiry, they found a pharmaceutical factory built during the German occupation of Qingdao. After the end of World War I, the German owner of the pharmaceutical factory withdrew to his country and kept the pharmaceutical factory to continue producing medicines.

The pharmaceutical factory was managed by a local man who had followed him, but after he became rich, this man developed many bad habits and soon ran the originally profitable factory to the brink of bankruptcy.

This helped Su Bai, and he bought the required equipment at a very cheap price.

The owner of the Qingdao branch has chartered a truck, and the equipment and raw materials will be delivered to Longxing City in a few days.

However, he had spent all the 1000 yuan that Su Bai brought to Kong Dai, and he also advanced yuan from the account of the Qingdao branch.

"I didn't expect the young lady to want these things so expensive!"

It's not expensive at all. According to Kong Dai's description, these things can fill up an entire truck. Even if the equipment and various facilities take up most of the truck, if the remaining half of the truck's raw materials can be turned into penicillin... it would be more than one thousand or ten thousand dollars.

The manager of the Shanghai branch also sent a telegram to Qingdao. The items on Su Bai's list were more complete than those in Qingdao. There was also better news. A pharmaceutical factory in Shanghai was interested in selling. If Su Bai wanted to develop in Shanghai, he could buy this pharmaceutical factory.

"The other party is asking for fifty thousand dollars." Kong Dai felt that the price was not expensive. If the other party had no intention of developing in this industry, it would be impossible to sell it at such a low price.

Su Bai smiled: "Uncle Kong, do you think we can come up with 50,000 yuan?"

Kong Dai said that he couldn't get it out now, but he believed that he could get it out in a short time, and he believed in the eldest young lady.

There is no doubt that Kong Dai already had a general idea of ​​what he would do next. When he went to Qingdao to buy these things, including when he went to the pharmaceutical factory to purchase equipment, it was impossible for him not to inquire what these things were used for.

"Don't tell anyone else in the mansion what we're going to do next."

In this case, Su Bai told the master frankly that he planned to start in the basement of the Confucius Mansion. The basement was very large and needed to be properly renovated and divided into several rooms.

Disinfection, dust-free, purification, cultivation...including laboratories and other places can be simplified but cannot be eliminated.

She didn't explain it in such detail to Kong Dai, because even if she explained it clearly, he wouldn't understand.

With Kong Dai's support, this step of transformation can be completed quickly.

"Madam, it's time to take off the cloth. We have all seen Longxing City!" It has been a while since they came out of the mountain. The two were so excited chatting that they didn't even remember that the black cloth should have been taken off long ago.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After returning to Longxing City, Su Bai jumped off the mule and walked with Kong Dai, one in front and one behind.

Kong Dai then told Su Bai about Guo Deyi. He first thanked Su Bai, but he still believed that Guo Deyi should not stay in the Kong Mansion.

It could even be said that this was a big mistake.

Su Bai rolled his eyes at him from behind, saying that he was so hypocritical even at such an old age.

But he couldn't say it, so he could only say, "I've made up my mind. Let him stay for now. If he falls into his old habits again, we can deal with him later."

"Okay, but..."

Su Bai interrupted Kong Dai: "It's nothing, he was just a petty thief. It's been more than 20 years, how can you look at him with old eyes? You beat him so badly back then, how can he not learn a lesson?"

"Alas..." Kong Dai sighed again.

Su Bai continued to scold him: "Guo Deyi has done a lot of business outside in recent years, right? He is a man who has seen money. You know the current situation of our Kong Mansion. Is it worth him to repeat his old mistakes?"

"Some problems and memory..."

Su Bai interrupted Kong Dai again: "Uncle Kong, don't talk about this anymore!"

Su Bai was really a little angry.

In order to show his loyalty, Kong Dai was a bit too hypocritical.

As the two men led the mule into the courtyard of the Confucius Mansion, the second young lady, Zi Yan and Yuan Yuze, who had been waiting in the front yard, came to greet them. They looked Su Bai up and down to see if he was injured. The eldest young lady also asked directly whether the kidnappers had done anything bad to her sister-in-law.

"Go away!" Su Bai pushed her.

The Second Young Miss actually cried, which made Su Bai feel heartbroken. She was so sad for herself, but she didn't know that her sister-in-law was already plotting against her.

She reached out and touched the second young lady's face: "Sister-in-law, you are back safely, right? Don't cry."

Guo Deyi also came out and asked about their health, but Kong Dai pulled him aside and said, "Hurry up, find someone to kill the mule!"

Su Bai had not thought of this yet. Who knew whether Liu Yiyan's mule was stolen or robbed? Even if he gave it to the Kong Mansion, he could not use it openly. If the original owner found out, it would be a bad ending.

I have to say, Kong Dai is quite experienced.

Several concubines also floated out from the east and west courtyards silently like a few ghosts. They did not come forward to greet Su Bai, but stood not far away, as if watching the fun.

And that idiot Yan Xi was taken down by Su Bai just after he had exercised management rights for a few days. He must be very dissatisfied. He stood with several servants under the moon gate between the front yard and the east front yard, looking at this side coldly.

Although the concubines did not come up to greet Su Bai, they were busy communicating with each other.

"Oh, the eldest lady of our Kong family is different from ordinary people. She can come back safely even after being kidnapped by the kidnappers. Even her hair is not messy at all. She is still so beautiful." This time, it was not the third wife who spoke up to stir up trouble first, but the fourth wife.

"Thank you for praising me, Fourth Aunt. Am I really that good-looking?" Su Bai shouted at them, deliberately trying to anger them.

The third wife also spoke, but her voice was so low that Su Bai couldn't hear it.

Even though I couldn't hear her, I knew roughly what she said. It was probably something like conceited, shameless and unashamed.

Fortunately, the fifth concubine did not stop her two daughters, the third and fourth daughters, from coming over and being intimate with Su Bai.

Kong Dai quietly handed a small cloth bag to Su Bai. Su Bai opened it and saw that it was Hutchison soft candies.

Kong Dai bought it from Qingdao, what a thoughtful thing.

Su Bai gave a handful of candy to each of the third and fourth young ladies.

The third young lady even tried to shirk her responsibility: "I'm already fifteen, give it to my sister."

"Fifteen is still a child!" Su Bai stuffed the candy into the Third Miss's hand.

At this point, the third concubine had something to say again, in a veiled tone: "Oh my, I wonder when the kidnappers will be interested in me and kidnap me, and bring back some candy!"

The Sixth Aunt stood aside, eating melon seeds, looking nonchalant.

Su Bai ignored them and took a few sisters-in-law and Zi Yan directly into the lobby in the front yard.

The voice of the Sixth Concubine came from outside the hall: "My two sisters, don't ignore my advice. This young lady is really not an ordinary person. You should save your energy, otherwise you will regret it later!"

Su Bai had only heard the Sixth Concubine speak a few times since she entered the Confucius Mansion, and every time she opened her mouth, she was full of sarcasm.

"If not a mortal, then what is it, a god?" the third concubine asked unconvinced.

"She is not a god, but our living ancestor! Don't believe it? Just wait and see!" After the Sixth Aunt said this, she immediately hummed a Peking Opera tune, walked past the door of the main hall, and gave Su Baifei a wink as she was looking at her!

Wow, such a charming look...even Su Bai, a woman, felt her heart fluttering.

I may have wrongly blamed Master Kong. He didn't snatch the Sixth Concubine away from me. She must have seduced the master!

With the master's physique, how could he withstand such a gentle teasing from her?

It would be strange if he didn't kneel.
