Chapter 121: Rising Status
Early the next morning, under the personal escort of Pan Feng and Bao Yuan, Jiao Xiang and his wife were taken out of prison in a beautiful manner, and nearly 100 officials before and after opened the road and sounded the gong, and returned to Jiao Xiang's mansion with a hug.
Mu Fan, Shang Que and others have been waiting in front of the mansion for a long time. The maids and subordinates who were originally dismissed in the house were all summoned back by Mu Fan. and held a feast in the house to wash the dust for Jiao Xiang and Mrs. Wang.
Originally, Shang Que was still a little unsure in his heart, Mu Fan went to the City Lord's Mansion empty-handed, so Pan Feng was willing to let Jiao Xiang and his wife go? This is indeed a bit unbelievable. But when he saw the announcements posted on the streets and alleys of the city, and the escort team arrived on time, Pan Feng himself personally helped Jiao Xiang out of the carriage like a subordinate, Shang Que's heart was messy, and Mu Fan's ability was once again beyond his imagination.
Of course, it was not Shang Que who was surprised, but also Jiao Xiang and his wife. Regarding Mu Fan's provenance, Jiao Xiang has never sent anyone to investigate. Whatever Mu Fan says, he and Mrs. Wang believe it. It's just that now it seems that the apprentice who originally thought he knew better had a very deep background.
It can be seen from Bao Yuan and Pan Feng's attitude towards Mu Fan that Mu Fan must have a high status in the official road. After all, the characters who can shock the city lord and the main official Pan Feng will definitely not be as simple as having money.
Today's Jiaofu is full of lights, and it is more lively than the New Year. Everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, wishing Jiao Xiang and his wife to turn evil into good fortune and get the snow of grievances. During this period, Pan Feng and Bao Yuan sat on Mu Fan's left and right, and very diligently helped him pour wine and food, which surprised many guests, and at the same time, they also raised Mu Fan's status in their minds fiercely, all the way to the top.
Because of the time to return to the world, Mu Fan deliberately opened the banquet before ten o'clock. Fortunately, many people didn't eat breakfast, and they still recognized Mu Fan's decision. After eating and drinking, Mu Fan personally sent Bao Yuan and Pan Feng away, although he didn't like these two people very much, but as the old saying goes, don't reach out and don't hit smiling people.
And during the banquet, Pan Feng took the initiative to apologize to Jiao Xiang, and punished himself with three glasses of wine. As the wine went down, the grievances and grievances between the two sides were written off. As for Bao Yuan, Mu Fan has to be even better. He is the city lord of Luxiang City, as the old saying goes, the county official is not as good as the current management, and if Mu Fan wants to mix here for a long time in the future, he will naturally be taken care of by the lord of this city.
Of course, with Mu Fan's praise of Luxiang City during the banquet, this year's civilized city must have a place in Luxiang City. At this point, Bao Yuan's gratitude to Mu Fan is like a surging river. Mu Fan won't say anything in the future, and Bao Yuan will also stand behind him.
When the guests began to leave, Shang Que deliberately stayed at the end, wrote the next smuggled goods on the list, and respectfully handed them to Mu Fan. Before cooperating with Mu Fan, Shang Que was still a little uneasy. But now that he has seen Mu Fan's methods, he has made up his mind and will follow Mu Fan in the future.
After quietly storing the list in his backpack, Mu Fan and Shang Que agreed on an approximate delivery date, and then personally sent him to the door.
Jiao Xiang is very happy today, not only for himself to regain his freedom, but also for his apprentice Mu Fan. A teacher for one day and a father for life, Jiao Xiang has always regarded Mu Fan as his son. Any father will be happy when he sees that his son is promising. In addition, many people came to toast, and Jiao Xiang was unexpectedly drunk.
Looking at the anxious appearance of the lion who was about to perform a stone lifting lion with the smell of alcohol, Mu Fan smiled and shook his head. raised his hand to summon Meng Guang, although Meng Guang was also at fault in this matter, Mu Fan could see that he was still more loyal to Jiao Xiang. And after being a housekeeper for so many years, Jiao Xiang is also easy to use. Therefore, Mu Fan not only dismissed Meng Guang, but also gave him the position of housekeeper in the house. From now on, there will be only one housekeeper in Jiao's mansion, Meng Guang.
After this incident, Meng Guang not only tasted a lesson, but also knew Mu Fan's ability. At this time, in his heart, Mu Fan's status is probably above Jiao Xiang. So when he saw Mu Fan beckoning him, he hurriedly ran to the front.
Mu Fan asked Meng Guang to take someone to help Jiao Xiang back to the room to rest, and then went to say goodbye to Mrs. Wang. By the way, he laughed a few words with the two maids, Rose and Xiaohe, and then turned around and walked out of the house and came to the courtyard he rented.
Because of the urgency of time, in the morning, Mu Fan specially found the shopkeeper of the taste building. He took out the silver ticket and asked him to help him purchase the ingredients he needed. The two sides are also old acquaintances, and the story of Mu Fan saving Jiao Xiang has quietly spread in the circle. Many people don't have a chance to help Mu Fan, so the shopkeeper of the taste building will naturally not refuse, and happily take someone to buy it in person.
This time, Mu Fan not only purchased flour for making steamed buns and enough Hejian vegetables, but also bought raw materials for cooking sand meat, high-quality meat, superb fillings, and even glutinous rice and special lard.
The reason for the big purchase, Mu Fan naturally has a plan. In the system, RMB can be exchanged for Yindu Silver Notes, but Silver Notes cannot be converted into RMB in reverse. And now, Mu Fan still has the task of earning millions a month. The condition for the completion of this task is that after a month, Mu Fan's card must have one million earned through the restaurant. Those who were spent by Mu Fan during the period naturally cannot be counted among them.
In other words, Mu Fan does not have much RMB in his hand now, but he has a lot of silver bills. Anyway, the ingredients purchased in Yudu can be used in the world, so Mu Fan naturally chose to purchase them with a silver ticket. In this way, the profit of Ding Family Kitchen can reach 100% in RMB.
When Mu Fan came to the courtyard, the shopkeeper was directing people to unload the goods. According to Mu Fan's requirements, various ingredients were sorted and piled up in the courtyard.
"Mu Gongzi, you are here. The shopkeeper of the taste building stepped forward to say hello with a smile on his face.
"Well, shopkeeper, are the goods ready?" asked Mu Fan.
"According to your list, everything is ready. The shopkeeper took out the slip and the remaining silver ticket from his bosom and handed it to Mu Fan, "You order a little." ”
"No, I don't have to worry about you. Mu Fan has always paid attention to the use of suspicious people, and he put the silver ticket in his arms and stored it directly in the system, and immediately found that the number was wrong. According to Mu Fan's calculations, these goods cost at least 300,000 taels of silver, of which flour accounted for the majority. However, the shopkeeper only received 250,000 taels from himself, a whole 50,000 less.
Mu Fan hurriedly took out the silver ticket again, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, there is a little bit of money left, right?"
"No more, no less. The shopkeeper waved his hand and smiled, "I have an old relationship with those shopkeepers, so naturally it should be cheaper." ”
Mu Fan smiled and nodded, and didn't ask any more. He knew that eighty percent of the shopkeepers were courting him. After all, no matter how good the relationship is, it is impossible to save tens of thousands of taels.
"Shopkeeper, if you take the 50,000 taels of silver, it can be regarded as my invitation to tea with the brothers. Ignoring the shopkeeper's objection, Mu Fan forcibly stuffed the silver ticket into the other party's hand. Since this is the shopkeeper's heart, Mu Fan can only send it back in disguise. Neither of the two sides discounted the book, but they gave each other a favor.
The shopkeeper thanked him, and in the name of Mu Fan, he distributed 50,000 taels of silver tickets to everyone. The people were very excited, and they thanked Mu Fan one after another.
After the shopkeeper and his party left happily, Mu Fan turned around and closed the door and stored all the things in the yard into the warehouse. Then click on the teleportation map and return to the world.
