Chapter 158: Green Tea
Gong Liu said that someone wanted to buy the whereabouts of the jade pick, so he kept an eye on it all the time, and he had to report back to that person in time no matter how big or small. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Yu Shi asked who it was, Gong Liu glanced at Yu Shi, and said slowly in embarrassment:
"I shouldn't have told you about it because I didn't take that job, but I did...... Alas, I've broken the rules of the trade, let people know that I don't want to mix up anymore, and if I tell you who my employer is, then I won't see the sun a few times in my life! β
This is reasonable, and Yu Shi can understand it, but she can't listen to it, and she is not ready to accept such a statement:
"You are now sitting with me, whether you say it all or not, once my identity is exposed, in the eyes of your employer, you have already recruited all of them, so it is useless for you to still be dying now, besides, you were originally the informant of the commander of the adult, and ran to this Laoerjing Hutong to coil, also to facilitate the collection of more clues, to give the commander the best and fastest information, if because of me, you can no longer stay in the Laoerjing Hutong, then don't stay! Wouldn't it be better for us to change places? β
Gongliu was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he wanted to refute but couldn't find anything to refute, and not a single word of what Yu Shi said was wrong!
He put down the chopsticks he was holding tightly, and because he put them down so quickly, the chopsticks fell and touched the wooden tabletop with a crisp sound, and knocked on the edge of the bowl on the way.
The stall owner glanced over at the commotion, then took it back and never looked again.
Until Gongliu came back to his senses, he was also out of the way.
He didn't say anything, but dipped his finger in the soup that had spilled out of the bowl, and wrote a word on the tableβtoo!
That word was written quickly and disappeared quickly, but Yu Shi could see it clearly.
As expected, the gecko came to the rescue at the end.
It was she who thought of the money bag that Yu Shi didn't bring, and it was also Xiang Zhai who thought of it, but compared to her, Xiang Zhai is a famous Qing Qi person in Beijing, and the goal is too big, so it is most suitable for her to send the money bag.
Seeing the back of the gecko who left with Yushi's side, Gong Liu couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
He thought he should have fallen in love with the gecko at first sight!
Back in the courtyard of the temporary residence, as soon as Yu Shi sat down, the gecko gave Yu Shi the fake skin that Xiang Zhai had brought.
She sat in the flower hall in the back garden and watched, looking at the candlelight, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that this face was really good, and the degree of confusion was enough to be similar to the fake face that Meng Shen used when he used Meng You's identity to blind her, which was almost as fine as it was not easy to see.
However, when you meet an expert, or often meet one or two fake people like she always meets, you can quickly recognize her, just like she quickly recognized Meng Shen at the beginning.
But it's okay, as long as you don't know that it's her jade-faced thousand households, it doesn't matter who guesses.
Anyway, Chu Jing is not as deep as Nan Li, and the water is deep.
Suspicious candidates guess one by one, and they have to guess the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue, then the emperor in her hand has already been completed, and she is still afraid that someone will expose it?
After serving two bowls of tea, the gecko asked Yu Shi, is Xiang Zhai a master of fake skin?
Yu Shi said that before Xiang Zhai became her informant, Xiang Zhai also had a name in the rivers and lakes.
But the specific name, Xiang Zhai refused to say, she didn't know, only knew that Xiang Zhai's disguise and fake face making techniques were one of the most exquisite she had ever seen.
Geckos are also perceptive: "One of them? β
Yu Shi didn't hide it from the gecko: "I have Xiang Zhai under my hand, and there is also one among the people who command the envoy, and Meng Shen should also have one, as for Kong Lingbao and Lin Xuanzhi...... I think there are, but I haven't had the pleasure of seeing the next three disguise masters. β
After hearing this, the gecko was silent for a while, and then said:
"My lord told me truthfully, aren't you afraid that I will leak out?"
"Will you?" Yu Shi quickly asked rhetorically.
The gecko was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
Yu Shi pursed her lips and smiled: "That's it, you won't betray me, so I don't have to avoid you, and I think that you also have such a disguised master in the Black Wood Building, right?" β
The gecko didn't hesitate and nodded quickly.
As for who it was, Yu Shi didn't ask again, just grasping the measure.
The gecko didn't say anything, after all, it's one thing for Jade to ask, and it's another thing for her to take the initiative to confess.
When it was time to rest, the gecko asked Jade one thing:
"Miss Xiang Zhai said that if the adults come back, let me help ask, is there still a shortage of manpower in our house? Miss Xiang Zhai said that she can do anything, sprinkling, sweeping, cooking, and laundry. β
"Xiao Zhai wants to come?" Yu Shi snorted and laughed, "Could it be that she really wants to come and sweep the courtyard?" β
"Then ......" Gecko was a little unsure of what Yu Shi meant, if Xiang Zhai came back to ask, she would have to reply.
"Xiao Zhai's identity is different, it's too eye-catching, if she asks you next time, you tell her, if you have anything to say to me directly, you don't know anything, and you won't pass it on your behalf." Yu Shi directly gave the gecko a unified answer, saving the gecko from passing on these messes in the future.
As soon as the gecko heard Yushi's words, he understood, and at the same time he was relieved and had a hint of joy.
She also thought about whether Yu Shi's words meant that in fact, Xiang Zhai knew that it was impossible, and if she asked Yu Shi in person, she might have to be reprimanded, so she asked her to ask on her behalf?
This time, there was no chance of an answer, so Yu Shi let the gecko go down to rest.
As soon as the gecko left, Yu Shi climbed onto the bed and rested.
There was no dream all night, and after breakfast in the morning, Yushi took the gecko straight to Hanjin Wharf.
The two did not ride horses, after all, although they wore a fake face, the gecko was also very secret and unfamiliar to the people of Chujing, but they were careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years.
Yu Shi felt that it was better to take a carriage, anyway, she was in such a hurry and didn't rush for such a time.
In the carriage on the way, the gecko asked Yushi what he was going to do at Hanjin Wharf?
Yu Shi lifted the lattice curtain and looked out, and when she heard this question, she put down her hand and said to the gecko:
"Listen to Hong Lie, Yao Zenghao has been in the Yao family's warehouse these days, the boat of sea pearls has just arrived, yesterday a Cao Yun has already inspected the goods, I think it is also very satisfied, Hong Lie is checking the use and intention of the prince to ask for this batch of pearls, Cao Yun is not simple, he has always acted prudently and prudently, this time he swaggered with the Yao family, he must have a plan...... Hong Lie's side may not be able to find out. β
Gecko then guessed: "So the adults want to start from the Yao family's uncle?" β
Yu Shi nodded: "Well, as soon as you arrive at Hanshui Street later, you will get off the carriage and find an opportunity to infiltrate the Yao family's warehouse, and then find out what the Yao family has been lacking most recently, or which transactions have been in trouble recently." β
The gecko replied, "Yes, sir! β
Yu Shi looked at the gecko and said coldly:
"Can't you call me an adult, have you forgotten?"
The gecko was shocked to realize that he had lost his mouth twice, and his face changed slightly.
This kind of mistake can sometimes be terrible!
Yu Shi didn't comfort the gecko, and lifted the lattice curtain to look out.
Her identity can't be exposed for the time being, but she can't spend so much effort, but in the end, the people around her capsize!
When they arrived at the entrance of Hanshui Street, the gecko got out of the carriage, and Yushi asked the coachman to continue his journey to a teahouse near the middle of Hanshui Street.
The teahouse is diagonally opposite the Yaojia store, and Hong Lie used means to enter the Yaojia store, directly opposite the other storehouse pavilion to look down, she sat in the corner of the lobby on the first floor of the teahouse, and could only see the people and cars coming and going in front of the Yao's store.
As for the carriage, Yu Shi asked the coachman to drive it back to the carriage and horse shop, so there was no need to wait.
When the gecko will be able to blend into the Yao family's warehouse, she doesn't know, and she's not worried.
If the gecko doesn't even have this ability, then the black wood building is nothing more than Erer.
Yesterday, a boatload of sea pearls came, all of them were money, and the coolies in the Yao family's warehouse were carefully carrying boxes and boxes of sea pearls into the back warehouse, and the guys in the Yao family's warehouse did a series of measures to prevent moisture and mildew, and they were all tired and sweaty.
The coolies are physically exhausted when they are carried from the ship to the dock, from the dock all the way back to the warehouse, and then carefully carried into the final warehouse.
The men, on the other hand, do a delicate job, and are eight points more careful than the physical labor.
If one of these large sea pearls is accidentally stored improperly, and they are damp and mildewed, then they will fill in their lives, and they will not be able to pay for it!
Today, the Yao family has a batch of green tea specially transported from Jiangnan, although the value is not as high as sea pearls, it can be bought and sold, and there is no reason to lose money at any time.
So today's batch of green tea, whether it is a coolie or a guy, you still have to be careful to do it, otherwise it will not be as simple as a training for the manager.
The coolies and the guys were all a little tense in the past two days, and they were also puzzled, because Yao Zenghao had stayed in the Yao family's warehouse for the past two days, and he didn't return to Yao's mansion overnight, so he rested in the wing room behind the courtyard courtyard.
In the past, Yao Zenghao was not like this, he always felt that the warehouse was too simple, uncomfortable, and restless.
But this month's audit and accounting, Yao Zenghao really lived in the simple wing, and he has lived for two days, and he has to live for a few more days.
When the gecko slipped into the courtyard of the courtyard, there was no one in the courtyard, and if you walked further, you could hear the faint sound of talking coming from the wing room behind.
One of them must be Yao Zenghao's, and who the other is, she has no bottom in her heart.
She doesn't even know which one is Yao Zenghao's.
After all, she didn't recognize Yao Zenghao, and this was the first time she had such a positive and close contact with the Yao family, a big merchant in Beijing.
Soon there was the sound of footsteps in the courtyard of the courtyard, and the gecko hurriedly jumped to the top of the corridor like a gecko, spread his hands and legs, and sucked tightly on the walls on both sides, looking at the guy from the Yao family's warehouse at the bottom and hurriedly walked over.
She watched and listened with bated breath.
The man knocked twice on the door of the middle wing, and then said:
"Uncle, the green tea has entered the warehouse, and the shopkeeper asked the little one to ask, but do you want to pick the best one and prepare the next one?"
In the past, as soon as Jiangnan green tea arrives at the dock and is unloaded into the warehouse, it is always necessary to pick the best one and prepare two copies first.
One was sent back to Yaofu for their own family to enjoy; One copy is put in the warehouse for preparation, and no one knows what it is for.
Kewen shopkeeper had already heard that Cao Yun liked Jiangnan green tea the most, and the tea soup used to entertain Cao Yun yesterday was prepared by the Yaofu treasury when he came to Jiangnan green tea last season, Cao Yun tasted it very cheerfully and sighed.
The shopkeeper of that meeting was in the courtyard of the courtyard, looking at Cao Yun sipping tea and smiling, he also wanted to laugh.
Isn't it just a bowl of Jiangnan green tea?
can think that it is Cao Yun's favorite, and he is relieved.
This will send the guy to ask Yao Zenghao in the wing, in fact, the shopkeeper Wen has already started to pick out the third Jiangnan green tea and prepare, so he sent the guy back to say yes.
After a while, the man heard a voice from the room:
"Ready, tell me when you're ready."
This should be Yao Zenghao's voice.
The gecko thought to himself, and watched the men below walk back and forth again, and quickly walked out of the corridor and out of the courtyard courtyard.
At this time, another voice also came out in the wing, it was a man, and it should still be a young man, he asked Yao Zenghao:
"Uncle, it was originally a good thing for the prince to look at the Yao family like this, but did the uncle ever think that Mr. Cao under the prince has always been low-key, but this time he came to the Yao family's warehouse so blatantly to personally inspect this batch of sea pearls, doesn't the uncle feel strange?"
Yao Zenghao said: "What can be wrong? Originally, our Yao family, Jing family, and Mo family all secretly invested in the prince's camp and specialized in the prince's money bag, but in the end, there is still a difference between this money bag and the money bag! β
The young man hesitated, "Uncle means ......"
"Do you think the seafood trade is easy to do?" Yao Zenghao did not answer the rhetorical question.
The young man seemed to be questioned, and after a long pause before hearing his voice again:
"It's easy to do, it's not easy to do, this sea trading is risky, but it's also profitable...... What does the uncle mean is that what the prince really values is not the Yao family, but that the Yao family has a fleet of sea cargo ships specializing in sea routes? β
Halfway through speaking, the young man reacted to what Yao Zenghao meant.
By the end of his voice, the end note had risen a lot.
He was surprised.
Yao Zenghao nodded and said, "This is just one of them, and the second is ......?"
After thinking about it and pausing, Yao Zenghao didn't say this after all.
The young man didn't ask any more.
The gecko went down to the top of the corridor, poked a small gauze hole and looked into the wing, and saw that the young man wanted to speak, obviously smelling a trace of abnormality, and wanted to ask but did not dare to ask.
After listening for a while, he had heard the information he wanted to hear, and the gecko quickly quietly left the Yao family's warehouse.
A few circles, and very normal walked into the teahouse, she walked straight to the table in the corner of the lobby.
After the gecko sat down, and looked around at the adjacent table and could not hear it from any distance, she lowered her voice and said:
"Master, the Yao family just arrived today with a batch of Jiangnan green tea, which is the same kind of tea that Cao Yun drank happily and satisfied with yesterday, it was prepared by the Yao family in the warehouse last season, and it was used yesterday, as for the trouble, it lies in the sales of this batch of green tea."
Yu Shi listened and unconsciously looked puzzled, and frowned slightly:
"I remember that the Yao family has a tea house, isn't this batch of green tea shipped from the south of the Yangtze River to be retailed by the Yao family's own tea house?"
Gecko said, "Half of them are, and the other half are not!" β
