(42) Goodbye Calumbo

Seeing Bai Qi and Xue Yiran singing and reciprocating, Liu Qianli was so angry, but the words were clean. He didn't know that there was this person, but he couldn't turn his back, so he could only stand there and sulk. However, if Liu Qianli knew that just now, Xue Yiran used this matter to play Bai Qi's hairpin, he wouldn't be so angry.

Xue Yiran stopped when she saw the good news and politely said to Liu Qianli: "Mr. Liu, please go back to the inn and stay first. I will notify you when there is any news. Don't worry, as long as you find someone, you will never be able to leave you."

Before Liu Qianli could speak, Xue Yiran continued, "I didn't sleep all night, I'm a little tired, let's go." As he said that, Xue Yiran had already stood up, and the ministers hurriedly shouted, "Give me a visit to Your Majesty."

It's vacation, and now Bai Qi looks like a idler. After leaving the palace, Bai Qi immediately ran away from home. At this critical moment, it is not a wise approach to talk to anyone about Bai Qi. Xue Yiran gave Bai Qi's military power. How could Bai Qi be the master at slaughter? A general idea has been formed in Bai Qi's mind, but Bai Qi still needs time to improve it.

In the next few days, Bai Qi seemed to have been very leisurely. During the day, he accompanied his wife and children at home, and sometimes he carried his children around the streets. Bai Qi's move to hug his children was a new thing in this era. Men from the literati class never took care of their children in this world. Even if they hugged their children occasionally, they were still at home and never hugged them on the streets.

At the beginning, Xue Feihong and others also stopped Bai Qi, but Bai Qi insisted again and again, and they couldn't stop him. Bai Qi's move undoubtedly became a news in the capital. Although the scholar-official class was somewhat disdainful of Bai Qi, the favorable feelings of ordinary people to Bai Qi increased a lot. Bai Qi seemed to have changed from a mythological hero to an ordinary person. The simplest way for ordinary people to see problems is the most realistic. In their opinion, this prince-consort who usually likes to chat with everyone in the teahouse with children is more trustworthy than those adults who are rarely seen when they see their true faces.

More than ten days have passed in a flash. The willows in front of Xinghua Village’s restaurant have already hung down thousands of willow branches. The strong fragrance of wine calls the passers-by to come in and get drunk and wash away all the worries in the world.

The restaurant was opened by Qingqing, the girl who had the idea of ​​opening it himself, but she changed the inn she had originally run and renovated it and became a restaurant. Now this restaurant has a bit of the meaning of Xinghua Village wine store. You can’t buy Xinghua Village wine anywhere in the capital. As long as you enter this restaurant, you can have a good time.

Now Bai Qi is sitting in the best position on the second floor. Seeing Qingqing busy working inside and outside the girl, Bai Qi can't help but feel that the little girl Zhang Da is now and it's time to get married to someone.

Looking at the bustling crowds outside the window, Bai Qi was thinking about other things. In the past ten days, Bai Qi had never been idle at all in the secret field. Bai Qi first explained to Shi Wei to transfer all the workshops and products in Qizhou to Panlong Mountain. Panlong Mountain is developing towards becoming a secret base. In Bai Qi's plan, the special geographical environment of Panlong Mountain will be used to expand the production of gunpowder several times. Xue resolutely seized his military power, and Bai Qi asked Wu Ming and Shi Wei to carefully select a group of people and train on Panlong Mountain. This time, Bai Qi was going to train not as a killer, but a group of soldiers who could go to the battlefield in the future.

What Bai Qi lacks the most now is the military training personnel in the true sense. When Bai Qi was thinking about how to solve this problem, he suddenly heard someone exclaiming: "God! It's really Mr. Bai, I finally found you."

Bai Qi turned around and saw that it was Manager Yu who led a Westerner in. The foreigner was quite excited when he saw that he was thinking for a moment, and Bai Qi remembered that this foreigner was Karenbu who had been scrambling glass balls in the Central Plains. He didn't expect that this guy could speak Chinese. No wonder he felt uncomfortable.

When the shopkeeper Yu saw Bai Qi, he smiled and said, "My son-in-law, I'm so busy these days. Zhang Chu and Hou Wei walked around. On the way back, he actually met this foreign devil. He clamored to see you, so I had to bring him."

Bai Qi also stood up with a smile and said, "Friend, we're meeting again."

Karenbu came up to talk to Bai Qi and bowed, and said with gratitude uncontrollably: "It is my honor to be your friend. If it weren't for your help, it would be difficult for me to survive in this foreign country." This time, Karenbu spoke English, and it was probably because it was too difficult to say this, so Karenbu's mother tongue came out again.

Bai Qi quickly said politely: "You're so serious. I just said a few fair words at the beginning. There is no way to help or not." Bai Qi said as he gave the two to his seat, called the waiter to add bowls, chopsticks, and drink a few glasses for them. Then he sang to Carron: "Friend, have you been doing well in the past year?"

Bai Qi's question opened up Karenbu's conversation. After taking Bai Qi's topic, he started to talk in a slight manner. For a while, only Bai Qi could understand the meaning.

It turned out that after getting thousands of taels of silver, Karenbu didn't go back to the West at all, but lived in Daqi. Karenbu was originally a glass craftsman in the West. Seeing that there were almost no glassware in the Central Plains, he thought about making glass here. In this era, glass products in the West were also quite inferior, so he could only make things like glass balls. Karenbu had always had the idea of ​​improving the glass production process and producing more transparent glass. With this idea, Karenbu almost traveled all over the Central Plains with the silver that sold glass balls in the past year, and finally found high-quality quartz ore for him. Then Karenbu did his own experiment in the mine. After countless experiments, Karenbu made high-quality glass. After confirming that it was possible to produce on a large scale, Karenbu went down the mountain and planned to find someone to invest in him.

Karenbu's first investor goal is naturally Bai Qi. First of all, Bai Qi has no problem with him in language communication. Secondly, Karenbu believes that Bai Qi is kind to him and always thinks about repaying him. Of course, Karenbu also expects that this thing can bring him huge wealth.

Another huge way of wealth, Bai Qi couldn't help but thank God for his favor. He could just help others identify the glass ball and get a good way of wealth.

After Carlumbu expressed his hope that Bai Qi would invest, of course Bai Qi would not miss it. This thing is an exclusive transaction. With the new source of wealth for glass products, Bai Qi's source of funds will be more abundant.

Of course, Bai Qi couldn't look too happy on his face. He first thought about it, and then replied: "It's my happiness to help friends. I have the funds, but not too much. I guess you will have to wait a few days before I can plan to answer you."

Now Karenbu only hopes to find investors as soon as possible so that he will not let his wish to make money be ruined. Bai Qi can agree very simply, and Karenbu is already overjoyed. In this country where he is unfamiliar with his own place, it is too difficult for Karenbu to find investors.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Karumb stood up, then knelt down on one knee, and gave Bai Qi the highest Western etiquette to express his gratitude.

Bai Qi quickly reached out and said, "Don't do this. We are friends and partners in the future. Don't do this in the future. I will be angry."

Next, everyone entered a normal atmosphere of drinking and talking. While speaking, Karenbu suddenly patted his head and said, "Dignified friend, look at my memory, why did I forget the gift I gave you." As Karenbu said, he took out a bamboo tube from his bag and said, "This is a phenomenon I discovered by chance. I used this phenomenon to create a small thing to give it to you as a meeting gift."

Bai Qi was puzzled that this bamboo tube could be found everywhere, so this Karenbu would not fool himself with the bamboo tube, right? Bai Qi took the bamboo tube and saw it, and was immediately delighted. This was not a bamboo tube, it was clearly a simple telescope.

Although this telescope is very primitive, it can be seen that Carlumbus still spent a lot of effort in making it. The surface of the bamboo tube is polished very smoothly, and both ends are carefully inlaid with glass. Bai Qi raised the telescope and looked into the distance, and saw that the scenery in the distance was much closer to him. Yes, this is the telescope, and he read it correctly. With this thing, he can see farther than his opponent when fighting in the future. This is called technological advantage.

Bai Qi was so happy that he didn't notice that his actions had already made Karenbu stunned. In Karenbu's opinion, he had only understood the principle and function of the telescope after he had worked hard. He was planning to give Bai Qi a tip to use it. Unexpectedly, Bai Qi took it over and knew what this thing was for. Isn't this amazing?

Bai Qike ignored Calumbu's surprised expression and immediately sang to Calum after the trial: "I need this thing a lot. Please look back and see if you can get a clearer effect. This is a bit blurry."

From knowing Bai Qi to now, Bai Qi has brought Karenbu all magical expressions, and can speak English and know glass balls. Now even the telescope can tell what it is for at a glance, and it also makes a request. Now Karenbu has equated the words Bai Qi and magic in his heart, and subconsciously answered Bai Qi: "As long as I have sufficient funds, I can create it more clearly sooner or later."
