Chapter 212 Tea
Then, Li Shanqi began to tell everyone about the customs and culture of Ningguta.
"People in Ningguta are divided into four categories."
"Officers and soldiers, criminals and their families, ordinary people, and businessmen with connections."
"Can we do business in Ningguta?" Su Linhua asked.
Li Shanqi looked over and said, "Of course it's possible, but the cost is very high, so the selling price is very high. People without backgrounds can't operate there for long. The power dynamics are complicated and intertwined."
Su Chengnan had been mentally prepared for this, which was why she had asked Li Shanqi to write a letter of introduction for him. Li Shanqi was a general stationed near Ningguta, and a distant relative was always useful.
Su Linhua had her own thoughts: "The high cost and high selling price are natural, but can the local people there afford it?"
Li Shanqi smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Ordinary people have their own way of living. Those shops are naturally for special groups of people."
"Special groups?" The children were puzzled.
"Exile is a crime that's neither too serious nor too bad. It's not punishable by death, but it's a crime you can't escape. Since there are still people at home, there will always be people who want to come and see you."
Everyone suddenly realized.
Su Chengnan fell into deep thought.
Li Shanqi was able to say all these things directly, which showed that this kind of situation had become something that everyone knew about. Once these people arrived, they would probably immediately become thorns in the eyes and bones of others.
I don't know if Su Weimin's advance arrangements will really be useful...
Li Shanqi was really considerate and spent an hour explaining everything from what can be done and what cannot be done to where can be visited and where cannot be visited. He explained everything that could be said to everyone.
In fact, Jiayi had told Su Chengnan a lot before, but there were still many things that she heard for the first time.
For example: Why can’t you rent or buy a house in the north of Ningguta City?
Why can't we go to the south of Ningguta City to eat?
These precautions are very strange, but after putting them together, Su Chengnan had a new understanding of the division of forces.
But despite this,
Ningguta also has some desirable atmosphere of life.
"General Li, you said Ningguta is really that beautiful in spring?"
"Of course! In fact, as long as you have money in Ningguta, you can live a good life."
"Then how can we make more money?"
Children's thoughts are so direct.
It's a bit laughable.
Su Chengnan stood up. "Your studies are your primary task. I will also arrange for someone to teach you some skills courses. If you have any interests, you can also come and tell me. To make money, you must first have the ability. Relying solely on physical labor is not a long-term solution."
Li Shanqi agreed, "Joining the army is also a way out, as long as you are willing to endure hardships! The stronger and more clever you are, the more opportunities you will have! I welcome you very much."
He said this without even thinking, as if he had never considered whether Su Chengnan would be unwilling for his brothers to join the army.
Su Chengnan had no intention of opposing it at all, and was even very supportive!
Whether in this parallel universe or in the world where she had lived for many years, soldiers were the cutest and most admirable people. Without these people defending the country, there would be no peace.
In addition, the Su family had relied on Su Weimin's military achievements to live a good life step by step, so there was no reason for her to stop it.
Men should be self-reliant, whether by studying or joining the army.
Even if the children of the Su family said they wanted to do business, she would agree.
She continued Li Shanqi's words and said with a smile, "You all heard it! Hurry up and strengthen your body, study hard and learn to read, and familiarize yourself with military books! If you want to join the army in the future, come and join Li Shibo and make your own way with your real kung fu, okay?!"
The children nodded vigorously.
Only Yu Baoer shouted loudly: "Me! I want to join the army! General Li, please wait until I grow up!"
Li Shanqi laughed: "Okay! I'll wait for you!"
Su Chengnan was a little surprised that he would say that. It was obvious that the child loved reading. Especially along the way, his grandfather Yu Fugui kept talking about it, saying that all the hopes of the Yu family would be on him in the future. After his parents recovered from their burns, they would probably not be able to do any work.
However, she knew that this was not a good time to ask questions, so she kept the matter to herself and planned to find a chance to see what was going on after she set off.
"Okay, I'm thirsty from all the talking today, so let's stop here for now."
As soon as Li Shanqi finished speaking, Su Linhua hurriedly stood up and poured him a cup of tea. The teapot and teacups were prepared in the room in advance. There was a small stove under the teapot that kept it warm, and the tea was still steaming hot.
"Uncle, please moisten your throat."
"Thank you."
Since they were all family, Li Shanqi was not shy and took the teacup and took a sip.
"Hmm?" His eyes lit up.
"This tea..." He looked down at the teacup. The tea soup was clear. Then he brought the cup to his nose and sniffed it gently. "It smells good! It really smells good!"
After he drank it all, he looked at the teapot with a sense of unsatisfied feeling.
Su Linhua reacted quickly and poured him another cup.
However, Su Chengnan's heart skipped a beat, thinking that there must be something wrong with the tea. Logically speaking, the room was full of children, and the maids should not prepare tea here.
How could there be tea?
Su Linhua noticed Su Chengnan's puzzled look and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
She was the one who put the tea leaves there.
When she came in, she felt a little cold, so she poured herself a glass of water.
Plain water, bland and tasteless.
She took out some tea leaves from the space and threw them into the teapot.
In fact, it was not a particularly expensive tea. It was just a tea bag she had bought as a souvenir at a milk tea shop. She felt that the scented tea had a light fragrance and was not as invigorating as strong tea. It was just suitable for moistening the throat.
As a result, after listening to the "lecture" for an hour, I completely forgot about it.
However, it can be considered a blessing in disguise.
Because she knew that Li Shanqi was a tea lover. Although he was a general, he was still a young man from a prestigious family. Since he thought it tasted good, it must be really good.
Just now I was talking about making money with my skills.
That's not as good as...
Hehe, she has thought it through!
Just rely on this flower tea to pull Li Shanqi in to join the team! Pah, invest!
A shareholder who has soldiers in his hands, wow, after arriving in Ningguta, we will move this shareholder out first, which will definitely scare away a lot of evil spirits!
However, she had done this on impulse and hadn't had time to discuss it with her elder sister, so she still felt quite guilty...
But who is Su Chengnan? She saw Su Linhua's eyes rolling around, and then looked at Li Shanqi's expression, and she understood.
"Uncle Li, if you think this tea is good, why don't we have a chat..."
