Ed didn't want to delve into why she was called Carly Mosaic instead of Carly Mashke, because Carly had already gone to reconnect with her father, and he didn't want to get involved.
"Carly, you seem to be getting more and more beautiful." Carly's father noticed this the first time he saw his daughter. Carly was much fairer than before, and she had grown taller. She looked much prettier than before.
It's only natural that Carly has become more beautiful. She's been eating and drinking well every day, and it's also the time when she's growing up. Girls change a lot as they grow up, and she's become more and more beautiful.
Carly was secretly pleased to hear her father's praise. Perhaps she sensed it herself.
"Really? Father, that's wonderful news."
"Yes, Carly, this is how a noble lady should behave."
Carly's father looked at Carly and nodded in satisfaction. Only now did Carly give him a little bit of satisfaction.
"Father, I see you brought a lot of salt this time! Your gloves from last time were still pretty good, weren't they?"
"Carly, the gloves are really good. I sold some to Grandet at the price you agreed on, and I found some buyers for the rest myself, at a slightly higher price. I exchanged them all for salt, so there's a lot of salt."
The middle-aged man wasn't stupid; he could tell just by his name that he couldn't resist compliments, especially when people mentioned his former aristocratic status.
However, with the increasing availability of gloves, it's hard to say whether glove prices can remain high. But the gloves he came to exchange this time shouldn't change much. In the future, it's uncertain. If he wants to sell gloves at a high price, he'll have to sell them to more distant places.
However, he doesn't have that ability yet, so he can only take it slowly.
Carly glanced at her father, who was speaking eloquently, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Yes, Father, you did a good job with the gloves. Have you seen the paper I wrote to you last time?"
Hearing Carly ask about paper, the middle-aged man became even more excited about tearing open the shell.
"Carly, that paper is wonderful. I've asked an old friend to deliver it to the noble lords in the other territories, and I'm sure we'll have results soon."
"Father, there are two types of that paper now, you'll find out soon enough. But that paper is quite expensive right now, and the quantity won't be too large, do you understand?"
Upon hearing his daughter's reminder, Ma Sike paused for a moment, but quickly recovered.
"Carly, I know that paper will definitely not be sold cheaply; the price will be very high."
Carly looked at her father with great satisfaction. This paper was not easy to make; she had already experienced it firsthand.
Carly glanced at the salt on the carts behind them. They couldn't exchange the salt directly yet; they needed to go to the All-in-One Department Store to exchange it for Bronze Dragon Coins, and then use the Bronze Dragon Coins to buy other things. She planned to tell her father first, so he wouldn't be unaware later.
"Father, we can't just use that salt to make gloves now; we need to sell it over there first," Carly said, pointing to the house in the distance.
As the middle-aged man, Ma Si Ke, looked in the direction his daughter, Carly, pointed, the large house in the distance was very eye-catching.
"I know Carly, I also brought some copper coins with me."
"Father, Lord Ed only wants silver coins; your copper coin is useless. He only wants this copper coin." Carly handed a money bag to her father, Mashke.
The middle-aged man took the money bag and examined it. The bag was very well made, and it seemed to contain copper coins. However, he still asked the woman a question.
"Carly, what's this? It's very pretty. How do you open it?"
Carly opened her money bag for her father, took out a bronze dragon coin, and handed it to him.
The middle-aged man, Ma Shike, held a money bag in one hand and a bronze dragon coin in the other. His eyes were full of surprise. He was astonished that the money bag was opened like this and that the bronze coin was so exquisitely made.
"Father, please take this bronze dragon coin. You'll need it to buy things later."
