Chapter 1053 Do business seriously ([-])
Liangshui Town is the territory of the Bai family army. It is reasonable for the court to raise taxes. In addition, the cost price also includes unloading, transportation, storage, sales and reasonable profits. These money cannot be saved, but what can be saved must be saved. Why is it irrelevant? Outsiders dare to come to take advantage of the name and offer their hands to collect money.

After receiving the letter, Bai Qing sat quietly for a while, folded the letter paper as it was, spent half a day, wrote a letter with his own handwriting after careful consideration, put an envelope together with Qi Ke's letter, and sent it to Dong'an Mansion with other military information and handed it to General Bai superior.

His opinions are all in the letter, this kind of calculating thing, let the general have a headache.

Outsiders don't know how General Bai discussed with his generals after receiving the letter. As long as there is no news to feed back to her, Qi Ke will not take the initiative to ask. She is busy preparing for the New Year.

Halfway through the twelfth lunar month, the taste of the new year is getting stronger and stronger. Even if there are still tens of thousands of refugees blocking the county border, the expectation and enthusiasm of ordinary people for the New Year will not be delayed.

Qi Ke is still staying in the factory. Apart from keeping an eye on the production, the more important thing is that the Ocean's fleet has arrived at the junction of the South China Sea and the East China Sea. She hopes to receive the news as soon as possible.

As for whether the fleet will encounter pirate Qi Ke, it doesn't matter at all. If they encounter one, they will fight. It is not certain who will snatch who.

Because of the booming business in Siliu Village during the Chinese New Year, the mushroom house shipped a large amount of goods every day, and Qi Ke specially asked the transport plane to deliver the goods quietly, sending back the small cantaloupe kept fresh in the basement of the villa as an off-season fruit for sale.

The fruit trees transplanted this year deliberately controlled only the long branches to prevent them from blooming and fruiting, so there was no other fruit to eat. The maids fooled the villagers and businessmen by saying that the melons were stored in a cool cave to keep fresh. It is common sense in life to store food in caves. It doesn't seem so strange to save summer melons for sale in winter.

After people quickly accepted this reason, the price of this batch of small cantaloupe was very expensive, but the three important partners of Lao Fang, Ding Lin, and Bai Qing put all the important golden thighs together. There is a basket as a New Year's gift, and it will definitely be more face-saving to entertain guests during the Chinese New Year.

The only ones who get special treatment are the officers and soldiers of Liangshui Town. Because the ocean ship is coming soon, and it is the end of the year, Qi Ke sent a ship of fresh supplies for the reason of the army, live poultry, chickens, ducks, goose eggs, oil, salt, sugar and wine. Fresh mushrooms and two baskets of cantaloupe.

The small cantaloupe tastes very good, sweet, glutinous and juicy, and everyone who received the annual gift was not short of money. Except for the three of Lao Fang and the others who bought a batch of goods to sell in other places, the rest were given by the senior officials headed by General Bai. The generals made a round, and when the big and small officials and rich people in Dong'an Prefecture heard the news and wanted to buy it, there was nothing left.

Qi Ke herself also received a lot of orders for colorful yarns. She sent out so many pairs of socks, which made her a better way to hand-knit cotton socks. On the premise of not being able to buy them in stock, wouldn't it attract people to buy dyed colored cotton yarns? Learn to weave by yourself.

Because of the good response, Qi Ke started the second step of the plan, sending a batch of white and colored yarns and colorful socks of all sizes to the cotton shop under his name through Maternity and Infant Hall. The shopkeeper and the clerk took a pair of socks as samples and hung them above the checkout counter, so that anyone who entered the store would be able to see them.

The price of cotton on the market has dropped slightly but is still at a high level. The local cotton supply is in short supply and the price cannot be lowered. Qi Ke’s cotton purchase cost is high, and the price is relatively not cheap, so the business of selling cotton directly in the store is really not good. , most of the time the shop is deserted.
