Chapter 294: Not a Threat Better Than a Threat
Although the weather was cold, Bai Tao was sitting by the fire, drinking roasted milk tea, eating roasted oranges, and crossing her short legs, looking extremely relaxed and comfortable.
Of course, it would be better if Xiao Ming didn’t keep nagging in the virtual space and want Bai Tao to let him out.
Seeing Bai Dashan coming over, Bai Tao asked: "Did they leave?"
"No, auntie."
Bai Dashan smiled and said, "Aunt, I asked for your permission and asked them to wait."
As he spoke, Bai Dashan handed the paper to Bai Tao: "Auntie, these are the things they want to purchase."
Bai Tao took it and looked at it, raising an eyebrow: "So many."
Without waiting for Bai Dashan to speak, she continued, "Sure."
Bai Dashan said quickly: "Auntie, this is what I thought. I can't agree to everything. I cut down some of the things."
"Like, pig iron, salt and tea..."
Bai Dashan smiled shyly and explained, "We can't let them think that these things are easy to purchase."
"Okay." Although Bai Tao only needed to place an order from the mall and make a profit from the difference, what Bai Dashan said made sense.
“If we deliver to their border, we have to pay for the transportation.”
Bai Dashan also nodded: "Aunt, I haven't forgotten this."
Purchasing things costs one thing, and shipping them costs another.
The escort agency under the Baijiabao caravan is very famous, and many bandits dare not attack it. Of course, the cost of escort is not low.
Even so, there is a constant stream of people coming to place orders.
After all, it is a little more expensive, but it is safe and delivered quickly, so most merchants and people in need are happy with it.
Bai Tao asked Bai Dashan to copy a list and leave it behind, then started searching in the mall.
If you ask her what she's looking for, she'll definitely shop around. It would be best if she could get enough stuff from the flash sale section.
Bai Dashan took the tablet and handled work in front of Bai Tao for half an hour. He also reported some things. Then he put away the tablet and prepared to go to the reception room.
“The mountains, remember the besieged.”
Bai Tao reminded.
Bai Dashan also remembered and said quickly: "I almost forgot this."
Fortunately, my aunt reminded him, otherwise he would have missed the opportunity.
Bai Tao didn't say much. She believed that Bai Dashan could handle this matter.
In the reception room of Taohua Village.
Qi State and Liang State occupied each side. They were anxiously waiting for news from Bai Dashan, and when their eyes fell on the opposite side, they snorted in extreme dissatisfaction.
As if afraid that the person on the other side didn't know, they snorted and looked at each other coldly, each time louder than the last.
He even hummed in a sarcastic tone.
"Some people are just shameless. Fortunately, Mr. Bai is smart and was not deceived."
"Why do I seem to hear a dog barking? Did you hear it?"
"Who is the barking dog?"
"It's whoever it is."
"you!!!"
"Why, do you guys still want to fight? It just so happens that I didn't fight enough just now."
"Come on, who is afraid of whom?"
"Today I will make sure that even your parents won't be able to recognize you..."
Outside the reception room, Bai Youli and Bai Dacheng listened to the noise inside, their bodies shaking as they tried to hold back their laughter. If you ask why they had to put the two people together even though they knew they were not getting along, it was intentional.
Otherwise, how could we hear some inadvertent information from both sides?
Anyway, this is Taohua Village, and the people from these two countries are mostly civil servants. At most they will have a fight and some scratches, but no one will die.
When Bai Dashan came over, he saw the two of them laughing so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs under the eaves of the reception room.
She glanced at the two of them warningly, telling them to behave themselves and not embarrass her.
Bai Dashan cleared his throat so that the two noisy parties inside could hear him.
Sure enough, there were panicked and sparse sounds coming from inside, and then it quickly became quiet.
After Bai Dashan went in, the people from Liang and Qi seemed to be sitting on their own sides without interfering with each other, but the bruises on their faces said it all.
In the adult world, everyone should be respectful to each other. To put it bluntly, even if you know something, don't expose it.
Bai Dashan pretended not to notice. He grinned as he turned around, but quickly suppressed the corners of his mouth. After sitting down, he slowly said, "Although it is a bit troublesome, my aunt said that she will try her best to cooperate with you."
People from both countries were immediately delighted when they heard this.
"If nothing unexpected happens, we will deliver at least half of the goods to you before the New Year, and the rest will be delivered around the tenth day of the first lunar month."
"But there is one thing." Bai Dashan changed his tone and said, "It takes manpower to transport so many supplies. A team of our caravan is now trapped in the war zone."
He stopped here at the right time, but the people of both countries were not fools and naturally understood what Bai Dashan meant.
Our people are surrounded by you, now give me an explanation.
Liang Guo and Qi Guo looked at each other in bewilderment; they had not expected this to happen.
There is a war going on in the war zone right now, and no one can be sure whether there will be any problems with the Baijiabao caravan.
The news that Baijiabao protected his people has probably spread far and wide.
Liang and Qi would naturally know this.
If the unlucky ones get killed or injured, then...
Thinking of this, their faces suddenly turned a little bad, and they all prayed in their hearts, hoping that it was not someone from their own country who was killed by mistake.
Then forget about purchasing supplies, the Baijiabao will be severely offended by then.
The White Feather Army is so famous that people cannot help but be afraid of it.
Seeing that they were silent, Bai Dashan spoke up: "When we received the news today, our aunt was planning to send the Baiyu Army to pick them up."
As if he could not catch a glimpse of the instantly pale expressions on the faces of the people from both countries, Bai Dashan continued speaking.
"You happened to be here, so I wanted to ask you what you think."
"Of course, we in Taohua Village will not interfere with the behavior of any party. After all, we are just a small village. We just want to do business and live our own lives. But if our people are bullied, then..."
Bai Dashan smiled and shook his head: "You know, young people are naturally full of youthful vigor. Sometimes we really can't stop the passionate young people."
This is not a threat, but it is more effective than a direct threat.
The envoy of Liang State quickly asked: "I wonder where your caravan is now?"
"Is anyone injured? If you need medicine, we can..."
The people of Qi Kingdom also hurriedly spoke up: "Yes, yes, where are they now? Although we are fighting fiercely with Liang Kingdom, we in Qi Kingdom will never kill innocent people."
The envoy of Qi State added in his heart, if it was a mistaken killing, then it was a misunderstanding, but we must be given a chance to explain.
Damn it, I originally thought this was just a purchasing job, and the hardest thing would be getting rejected and returning empty-handed.
But now, if things go wrong, they might lose their lives in Taohua Village.
