I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 721
"Mom, look what I brought back!"

Ning Laosi flicked off the snowflakes on his body, smiled and pointed to the boxes carried by his subordinates behind him and said to Ning Pengpeng.

"Fourth, why did you come back at this time?"

Ning Pengpeng was really surprised when he saw Ning Laosi.

After all, the fourth brother Ning returned to Dajin from here before, and counting the days he has been here now, does it mean that after he arrived in Dajin, he returned immediately without taking a rest?
Ning Pengpeng originally thought that she, Qingniang, Ning Yongkang, and Ning Jiner would be the only ones to celebrate the New Year this year!

Originally, she planned to prepare a table for all the people in the manor who had been brought over from Dajin on New Year's Eve, and let Ning Yongkang entertain them.

However, she was still a little worried, fearing that Ning Yongkang was not old enough and would not be well received.

Now that the fourth brother Ning is back, it is just right for him to take Ning Yongkang, his nephew, to entertain him, and let Ning Yongkang follow behind and study hard.

"Mom, I'm not thinking about the goods ordered by others, so once the goods are finished, I will turn around with the fleet."

Ning Pengpeng was a little surprised when he heard that.

"Is the pearl production in Yujiawan very high this year?"

Ning Pengpeng still knows about her own pearl farm.

Because after teaching the counties below Nanyue Prefecture how to grow pearls, the idea of ​​expanding the pearl farms in Yujiawan was shelved.

However, the number of female oysters in the farm should be much higher than in previous years.

However, even if the number of female oysters is higher than in previous years, there should be a number.

Just as Ning Pengpeng was thinking, did the fourth child collect the pearls needed here from the county below Nanyue Mansion.

He heard Fourth Ning shaking his head, vetoing, took off his coat and sat down.

"Mother, it's not Yujiawan, I never went back to Dajin."

"You mean, you brought all these goods from Huludao?"

Ning Pengpeng immediately reacted, and asked with some hesitation.

Fourth Ning nodded, and was about to explain something, when Ning Pengpeng, who was still a little surprised on his face, waved his hand directly.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this first.

It's good for you to come back, just in time for the big guys to have a reunion year together.

It's not too late to talk about the goods after dinner.

By the way, in the factory over at Westin Bay, have you made any arrangements for the New Year? "

The subordinates who came out with them in the manor in Wudu naturally celebrated the New Year with them.

But on the Westin Bay, there are still a large group of workers from Dajin!

Traveling across the ocean to this foreign land, I am afraid that I am homesick.

"Don't worry, mother!

Before I came, it had already been arranged. "

Fourth Ning took the rice bowl that Qing Niang had sent to him, nodded his thanks, explained something to Ning Pengpeng, and then ate it with big mouthfuls.

Because of the rush, I didn't eat well at all.

It is so comforting to be able to eat a mouthful of hot food now.

After dinner, Ning Pengpeng took Ning Laosi to the study.

Qing Niang sent the box brought by Ning Laosi to the study long ago, and then arranged for those people to have dinner.

Fourth Ning looked around, then nodded.

"This manor doesn't look any worse than the one at Westin Bay."

"When I first bought it, there were a few things that weren't great.

It was Jin'er who came up with the idea to renovate those places. "

Hearing what his mother said, Fourth Ning couldn't believe it.

"This... the manor, Jin'er helped to renovate it?"

"Yes, don't you believe me?"

Ning Pengpeng asked with a smile.

Hearing his mother's words, Fourth Ning shook his head again and again.

"It's just that I can't believe it. Jin'er has always been very introverted. Could it be that mother asked her to do it?"

Fourth Ning felt that his mother's method seemed to have some effect!
"No, it's your daughter who wants to do it herself. After asking me, I agreed."

Ning Pengpeng directly denied that she would not take the credit for herself.

After all, in the eyes of others, Ning Jiner's step is just a small step.

But for Ning Jin'er, it was a big step in her life.

Because of taking this big step on her own initiative, Ning Jin'er is now full of confidence in herself.

Hearing his mother's denial, Fourth Ning's heart was shaken again.

Barely holding his mind, Fourth Ning squatted down and opened the lid of the box.

"Mom, what do you think of this batch of goods?

I saw that the quality was much higher than that of Yujiawan!

These are carefully raised by the second brother, what do you think? "

After Ning Laosi opened the box, Ning Pengpeng squatted down, and fished out a few round pearls from the box.

He raised his hand and inspected it carefully, and sure enough, as the fourth child said, the quality of the pearls was indeed much better than those cultivated in Yujiawan.

"Mother, do you think the girls here need our pearl powder?

If it is really made of pearl cream powder here, my son thinks that it is too wasteful to use such good pearls!

Moreover, the second brother said that he can guarantee the supply of pearls we need.

Again, it’s cheap.

So, the son thought, should we control the quantity of these pearls when selling them here? "

"Your second brother is right, it is true that things are cheap.

Because it is rare, it is precious.

As for pearl cream powder, people here must be very popular.

However, as you said, it would be a pity to grind such fine pearls into powder!
Now that you know that the pearls raised by your second brother are worse than those raised in Yujiawan, it's better to use the pearls produced by your second brother to make jewelry.

Pick up the pearls from Yujiawan and the counties below Nanyue Mansion and keep them, and make the rest into pearl paste powder! "

"I think so too."

Fourth Ning nodded in agreement when he heard his mother's words.

"Did you bring this box when you came this time?"

Ning Pengpeng put the pearls coiled in his hand back into the box, then closed the lid of the box, tapped the lid lightly, and asked Ning Laosi.

"Of course not, how many ships that big!

No matter what, it is impossible to run back and forth for such a box of pearls!

The rest are all left in the manor at Westin Bay.

By the way, mother, when it comes to Westin Bay, my son thought of a strange thing.

This time, it was already snowing heavily on the pier!
Because it was impossible to go out to sea to fish, many ships were parked at the pier.

Several of them looked like warships no matter how my son looked at them.

Especially the black bumps on the sides of those ships, which looked similar to the fire wood warehouse that John took before.

It's just that the shape is much bigger, and the protruding long and black place is so big. "

After Ning Laosi answered his mother's question, he thought of what he had met on the Westin Bay pier before, and immediately described to Ning Pengpeng the appearance of the black lump he saw.

　Ask for a monthly pass, please!
