Chance Encounter (2)
"Runzi, you go find Uncle Zhong and ask him to bring a few guys." Chu Yiyao planned to pick all the small fruits in this piece and move a few vines by the way.
The leap went down the mountain, Shen Shixuan walked in the path and looked around, he was very curious about these small fruits adorned on the vines, picked one casually, crushed it between his fingers, and a faint spicy smell lingered under his nose, Chu Yiyao saw this, picked a bunch and handed it to him, and said with a smile, "Young Master Shen has never seen this before." ”
Shen Shixuan was slightly stunned, then smiled and nodded, "Yes, but listening to what you said before, Tao is a good seasoning." ”
"Young Master Shen is also interested?" Chu Yiyao simply made it clear that everyone opened the skylight and said bright words, this is not something that can cover up the past, such a large area, who can stop whom.
Shen Shixuan saw her looking at herself with wide eyes, and was a little stunned for a while, could it be that he was interested, and she could still share it equally with herself, but the Shen family firm was not very interested in such a low-cost and low-profit thing, so he nodded, "What does Miss Chu plan to do with these, they are all shipped back, and I am afraid that they will not be sold at a good price." ”
"This doesn't bother Young Master Shen, if Young Master Shen is not interested, then today's matter, please keep it secret." Chu Yiyao didn't believe in this verbal acceptance, she still had what the young master in front of her wanted so much, and everyone took what they needed.
"Miss Chu is not afraid that Shen will regret it." Shen Shixuan laughed when he saw her so confident, but Chu Yiyao shook his head and said very seriously, "Shang is the most important, if Young Master Shen can't even do this little thing, then the so-called cultivation method of the Shen family is worth scrutinizing by outsiders." ”
To say that it is he, Shen Shixuan, who is a villain himself, is not honest, and if he is like this, if the people of the Shen family are like this, how will the Shen family's business be done in the future, although it is said that the hands and feet of the business are clean, but when it is put on the table, everyone really dislikes it.
Regarding Chu Yiyao's 'trust', Shen Shixuan couldn't laugh or cry...
Chu Zhong came over quickly, brought a few guys, and took a lot of baskets to hold these things, Chu Yiyao carefully asked them to dig up more than a dozen plants to keep seeds and bring them back, and the rest directly picked the fruit ears.
Chu Yiyao was not in a hurry, but Shen Shixuan remembered those spices, waited for her to prepare to go down the mountain, and directly invited her to tea.
Chu Yiyao instructed Bao Sheng to send some silver taels to the family as a thank you, and after getting into the carriage, Shen Shixuan and the others led the way and returned to the market near the dock.
Approaching the evening, the sky on the pier was red like cloth dyeing, lined with dry autumn, beautiful and couldn't take your eyes off, when you arrived at a teahouse, you entered the tearoom one after the other, Chu Yiyao was dressed in men's clothes, but no one paid extra attention.
After sitting down, Chu Yiyao asked Bao Sheng to prepare a pen and paper, and wrote it on the paper, and Shen Shixuan on the opposite side poured the tea and pushed the teacup to her side, "This is the second time I have come to Datong, although this teahouse is not famous, it is better than the scenery." ”
Looking out of the window is a courtyard, the inside seems to be out of the control of autumn, but it is luxuriant, the rockery in the center of the yard is lush next to the trees growing lushly, you can see the edge of the wall, there are some green vines around, palm-sized leaves densely cover the wall, and the growth is very luxuriant. It can be seen that the people who take care of it are attentive.
"Young Master Shen, if you agree, just sign your name here." Chu Yiyao directly handed him the written paper, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "This thing is a small cost, if it is beneficial, give Young Master Shen twenty percent every year, what do you think?" ”
Shen Shixuan was very curious about her series of actions, it stands to reason that she should exchange this spice with herself, he owes her a favor, and he just used this to pay it back, but she traded with herself with this seasoned dry stock, which deepened the relationship between them.
Could it be that she has a request for herself?
This thought flashed in Shen Shixuan's mind, looking up at the girl in front of him who was full of clear eyes, Shen Shixuan couldn't help but think of the Yan family's wife in the previous life, and it was only after she died unexpectedly that the news of this Yan family's wife spread in Jinling, carrying one-third of the Chu family's property to marry into the Yan family, arrogant and unreasonable, three years to get a daughter, three years later, but unfortunately fell into the water, after her death, all the dowry went to the Yan family, and at that time, the Chu family had already decayed, and the business houses were all divided, The second young man of the Chu family and the eldest grandson of the Chu family disappeared, and when Mrs. Yan died, the Chu family disappeared in this Jinling, or the same surname, and a different master appeared in Jinling.
The methods of these businessmen, in this circle, Shen Shixuan has also seen it all the way, reborn in this life, and then looking at this high-spirited girl now, how could she never think that she would repeat the mistakes of the previous life.
Maybe it's his selfishness, this could have been wiped out, and it was not clear what the girl on the other side had in mind, Shen Shixuan actually agreed, read what Chu Yiyao wrote carefully, and wrote down his name, which has nothing to do with the Shen family, "This is considered that I took twenty percent of your profits for nothing." ”
"Young Master Shen should be a share." Chu Yiyao put away the contract with confidence, the verbal promise is really hard to believe, such a written note is convincing, if it is really profitable, Chu Yiyao has to thank him for not saying it.
"Young Master Shen, I still have something to do, let's go first." Chu Yiyao got up, finally remembered the matter of this spice, took the bag from Bao Sheng's hand and put it on the table, and said to Shen Shixuan, "Young Master Shen, don't forget, you owe me a personal favor." ”
Such a calculating appearance looked a little cute in Shen Shixuan's eyes, Chu Yiyao winked playfully, and went out with Baosheng.
There was silence in the tea room, only the boiling water on the table made a gurgling sound, a smile rose at the corner of Shen Shixuan's mouth, he picked up the cup and took a sip, his eyes fell on the bag, maybe everything will be different, in the previous life, they had never met...
Chu Yiyao rushed back to the dock when he came out of the teahouse, and Chu Zhong directly asked people to transport everything onto the ship, and the deck was spread out to dry.
"Uncle Zhong, you are an old man, help me see what this is." Chu Yiyao called Chu Zhong into the cabin, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and wrapped it in a layer of paper, and when he opened it, it was something he had seen in the stall during the day.
"It seems to be benzoin." Chu Zhong picked it up and sniffed it, and finally hesitated, "Miss, where did this come from?" ”
"I looked at the novelty and bought it, Uncle Zhong, can this be used in medicine?"
"This is mostly used for medicine, and rarely used for incense, so there are very few people who buy and sell, and they have to go to the mountains to find it." The Chu family is not in the medicinal materials business, and Chu Zhong only knows a little, Chu Yiyao looks at this inconspicuous thing, is the old man of the Shen family really seriously ill and needs to go to Datong to find medicine.
Chu Yiyao nodded, asked Baosheng to put it away carefully, and went out to see those fruits, Chu Zhong didn't expect to see this in the Jinling Huizhou area after watching it for a long time, so Chu Yiyao was relieved, whether this seasoning thing is good or not, you can use it in the Qin family's restaurant.
After waiting for three days, someone came to inform Qinghe Kiln, saying that it was the few things that Chu Yiyao gave and made them, Chu Zhong took her over, and Master Guan was waiting for them.
The Chu family originally focused on porcelain trading, this quality must also be good, Chu Yiyao is not afraid of others looking at it and copying it, the porcelain of Qinghe kiln is one of the best in Datong, they only make one of these things, and they take the lead in quality. After eating the first batch of guests, even if there are people up and down Jinling in a few years, I am not afraid that they will leave.
Chu Yiyao looked at the sets of dining utensils that were made, compared with the usual ones, these are much better in terms of color and style, plus the few elegant words added at the bottom, which are more elegant.
"Master Guan, I still have a few drawings here, along with these items, let's do it according to the amount we negotiated at the beginning, silver is not a problem, but the quality must be good." Chu Yiyao nodded with satisfaction and took out the rest, Master Guan's eyes were also a little excited, for him who was keen on this, every new appliance came out was a kind of enjoyment.
"And this, Master Guan, such a small container should also be set up." Chu Yiyao took out another drawing, Master Guan took it and went out, Chu Yiyao took out two silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Chu Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, this is a thousand taels of silver, and these utensils are not counted in the Chu family, so I will pay for this silver myself." ”
"Miss, you mean you're going to open your own shop?" Chu Zhong took the silver and was a little puzzled.
"This thousand taels is the price of these two sets of utensils, that is to say, in the future, all these utensils that the Chu family will enter will have to be provided for my family, and I will sign this deed when I go back, Uncle Zhong, you remember, my mother left a few shops for me, and I invited my uncle's family to come over to help me take care of these shops, so I don't have to worry about the second uncle." Regarding the things drying on the deck, Chu Yiyao didn't plan to take them to the Chu family firm to trade.
"Uncle Zhong, the Chu family belongs to the second brother and Ying Zhu, the second brother has no intention of going home, so I have to pay you more attention to raising Ying Zhu." At the end, Chu Yiyao sighed lightly, if he plunged into the business house now, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the second uncle and those stewards.
"Chu Zhong will do his best." Half-ringing, Chu Zhong sighed...
Seven days later, the merchant ship, it was a month at sea, the wind was calm, the closer to Jinling, the weather was cold, and when he got up early in the morning, there was a heavy fog on the sea, Chu Yiyao stood on the deck with his coat on, and he couldn't see anything under his sight.
When the sun rises and the fog clears, the small island near Jinling comes into view, and you can reach the pier in a few hours.
The merchant ships that left earlier than them had already arrived, the dock was not lively, unloading, transporting, Chu Yiyao got off the ship with the support of the peacock, Ah Chuan had already driven the carriage to greet them, Chu Yiyao asked Chu Zhong to store the fruits and utensils separately, and told the leap to watch, and he asked Ah Chuan to take him to the place where the second uncle lived first.
I didn't expect that there would be only the second uncle's family, but I didn't expect my grandma to come over with a few of my uncle's children.
Listening to Ah Chuan's description all the way, Chu Yiyao stood at the door, suddenly didn't want to go in, turned around and wanted to leave, the door of the house suddenly opened, and a young man rushed out sideways, saying something behind him, giggling and laughing, and didn't notice that there was someone at the door, so he turned over directly and hit Chu Yiyao's shoulder.
"Miss!" Bao Sheng shouted and hurriedly helped her, and the young man realized that he had hit someone, and when he looked back, he didn't have any apologies on his face, just glanced at Chu Yiyao, and shouted at the yard, "You don't hurry up." ”
Another teenager ran out, first glanced at Chu Yiyao, and then glanced at the young man before and was about to walk away, when a scolding came from behind him, "Stop!" ”
