Chapter 24 The Merchant Makes Profits

The sunlight gradually warmed up in Jiangnan City, and the shopkeeper in the private room of the Agar Pavilion was making a detailed report with his boss, saying that yesterday a little boy boasted that he could make a better fat powder than the master's golden rose fat.

"Did the little boy ever stay?"

I saw the shopkeeper take out the contract from his bosom and say to his master: "Don't worry, the son has signed the contract, and the little boy has promised that if he really makes high-quality fat powder, he must sell it in the Agar Pavilion first, and he has made an appointment to take a sample in three days." ”

"That's good, this matter must be kept secret until it is completed!"

"Well, naturally." Shopkeeper Zhang was only afraid that the boss would be robbed of the opportunity by the pink red corridor again, and he didn't think about it.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, yesterday...... Yesterday the little boy came. A little guy hurried from the antechamber to report to the shopkeeper.

"Oh? But the little boy who boasted about Haikou? The door didn't open, and the owner of the house asked.

"I think it should be that little boy, but after an appointment of three days, I never thought that today would come." Shopkeeper Zhang replied, and at the same time got up: "Childe, do you want to go and see?" ”

"You can go by yourself, but if you really get the best fat powder, you still have to think carefully about the issue of profit distribution, you can take care of these things yourself, and you don't have to go back to me all the time."

"Yes, Childe." The shopkeeper got up, although he felt that Gongzi would not go, but he couldn't help but want to ask again. Every time Childe comes back, he is mysterious and secretive, and he doesn't seem to want others to know.

In the front hall, Lin Bai kept going back and forth, anxious in his heart, if there was no money to redeem Nangu today, I am afraid that it would be ......

"Little boy, are you here today? Didn't you make an appointment for three days? Your son-in-law? The shopkeeper saw that Lin Bai came alone, but he didn't see Lin Zhuyu and had doubts in his heart.

"My son-in-law has something to do recently, and this recipe with fat powder has already been written down, thinking that he may be free in three days, so I asked me to send it today." Lin Bai pretended to be calm and never mentioned the urgent need for silver taels, in case the shopkeeper knew that he was short of silver taels, maybe he would sit on the ground and raise the price.

"Oh? That fat powder recipe? "It's naturally not good to ask more about the shopkeeper when people have something.

"My son-in-law said that today I came to send this recipe to the shopkeeper, but it was just ......"

"Childe, please speak to the private room." There are still guests in the lobby.

"Hmm." followed the shopkeeper into the private room, but the private room was divided into two with a curtain, the two sat down, and the shopkeeper also reached out and poured tea.

"If Childe's recipe is easy to use, there is naturally no need to worry about money!"

"The shopkeeper of Fang Zi knows it after reading it, I don't know how to calculate this profit?" Seeing that the negotiations were on the right track, Lin Bai naturally didn't dare to be careless.

"The master who made the golden rose grease, my boss rewarded a hundred taels of silver at a time." The shopkeeper probably got to the bottom of it, and he didn't say he was dead.

"The fat powder made by my son-in-law can't be compared to the golden rose fat!" This shopkeeper is also a black-hearted person, if the fat powder shop has more treasures of the town, how can it be a hundred taels of silver?

"You have to see the recipe to know."

"I brought the recipe today, and the son said that this recipe is incomplete, but you can make a sample first." Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't look at Fang Zi and refused to talk about the issue of profit, Lin Bai couldn't sit still.

"I wonder if you can read that recipe first?"

"Hmm." Carefully took out the prescription written by the young lady from her bosom, held it in her hand, and reluctantly handed it to the shopkeeper. Lin Bai was still a little unsure, what if the shopkeeper took the prescription and repaid the account?

"Don't worry, Childe, my huge shop is here!" has been an old shopkeeper for decades, and Shopkeeper Zhang naturally saw Lin Bai's hesitation.

"Well, here you go." Take a gamble? The shopkeeper didn't look like a bad guy either, Lin Bai handed over the recipe to the shopkeeper.

"Lead powder? This ......"

The shopkeeper looked at this half of the incomplete prescription, and for a while he was not sure whether the fat powder mentioned on the prescription was feasible. The lead powder and silver foam are very fine, but this lead powder is rubbed on the face, and the shopkeeper is not sure if there will be a problem for a while!

If there is a problem, then you will not be able to eat and walk away, this fat powder must be the best, if it ruins the face of the official lady's wife, then you don't have to open this shop!

But then again, if this powder is made, and the official lady and lady use it, then this agar pavilion will replace the pink red corridor just around the corner. No, don't say that this powder-faced red corridor can't do such a fat powder out, even in the capital, Quansheng Bamboo is afraid that the Agar Pavilion is also the first!

If there is really this whole recipe, I am afraid that the rouge business of these four countries will change the sky! The shopkeeper's heart was shocked, but he didn't dare to show half a point on his face.

"Childe, according to what Fang Zi said, it still needs to be verified, Childe might as well come back with the rest of the recipe in seven days, if this method is really done and the best fat powder is made, then the Agar Pavilion will never treat Childe badly!"

"Seven more days? Not now? "Still waiting seven days? I can wait, but Nangu can't wait! When Lin Bai saw the shopkeeper's words, he jumped to his feet in a hurry and was about to cry.

"What's the problem with Childe? You might as well say it straight. Lin Bai, the shopkeeper, guessed that something was wrong, and thought that the master of this little boy did not come today.

"I don't know if the shopkeeper can overdraft fifty taels in advance!" Thinking of Nangu, Lin Bai licked his face and asked.

"This? Childe is short of money? Fifty taels is not a small amount," the shopkeeper Zhang seemed to see an opportunity, which was enough to take this recipe at a low price. Businessmen are very profitable, and they are also thinking about the shop.

"Don't hide it from the shopkeeper, my son-in-law has something to do now, and he is in urgent need of these fifty taels of silver!" opened the chatterbox, understood that he was no longer hesitant, and said directly.

"Hmm......" The shopkeeper hummed lightly, as if he was thinking, the expression on his face became solemn, and he didn't say anything else for a long time.

Just when Lin Bai was about to despair, the shopkeeper spoke again: "That little boy, do you think this is good?" I will pay you fifty taels today... Gold! ”

On the other side of the curtain, there seemed to be a slight sound as the wind blew.

"Gold? The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper, you heard it wrong, it's 50 taels of silver. Lin Bai was in a hurry to correct it, it turned out that the shopkeeper thought that he was so hesitant to borrow fifty taels of gold, so it shouldn't be a big deal to think about fifty taels of silver.

"Childe, listen to me first!" The shopkeeper interrupted Lin Bai.

"The Agar Pavilion can take out fifty taels of gold at a time! It's just that the remaining half of the recipe is still troublesome for the son to be able to send it, if this recipe is really useful, then the fifty taels of gold will be bought out by the agar pavilion once, and the son will never know this recipe in the future. ”

Seeing that Lin Bai was still stunned, the shopkeeper patted Lin Bai on the shoulder, "I don't know what the little boy thinks?" ”

At first, he was shocked that the shopkeeper said that gold was not silver, and when Lin Bai didn't finish listening to the second half of the shopkeeper's words, there was only one reaction in his heart: Miss's recipe is worth fifty taels of gold? Maybe it's more than that, after all, businessmen can't afford to be profitable.

"This ...... Shopkeeper, I can't be this master, Fangzi is my son-in-law's, I still asked my son-in-law first! Saying that, Lin Bai wanted to get that recipe back.

It's just that the shopkeeper's face changed slightly, and at the same time pressed the recipe in his hand: "Childe, I have memorized this recipe, the Agar Pavilion is here, you can rest assured, I still went back and asked your son-in-law first, if your son-in-law agrees, then we can trade immediately." ”

Lin Bai's face changed, why didn't he notice that this shopkeeper's scheming was so heavy before? It's just that he has no choice but to say goodbye first.

"Childe go slowly, then I will go and prepare money and things, and wait for Childe's good news." The shopkeeper sent the guests away.

After Lin Bai left, a man walked out of the curtain, it was the owner of this Agar Pavilion!

"What kind of recipe is worth 50 taels of gold?"

"Childe, if this recipe is completed, I'm afraid that the rouge shops in the world will change the sky!"

"What......" he said, picking up the recipe from the table.

"This ...... Lead powder? ”

"Lead powder is sticky, good texture, delicate texture, white color and easy to preserve!" What a strange person, if you can really melt this lead powder into the fat powder, I am afraid that there is no place for chestnut rice flour in the market!

"Childe, this is a head start!"

"Well, 50 taels of gold? Oh, old man, you are getting better at doing business! ”

"Childe laughed, businessmen are profitable, businessmen are profitable......"

And here, inside the Royal Inn.

Lin Zhuyu's face was gloomy. When Lin Bai came back, he naturally told Fang Cai about the conversation with the shopkeeper in the Agar Pavilion, and he only waited for the young lady to say a word, and he could go to save Nangu. After Lin Zhiyu learned about the detailed negotiation situation, he didn't say a word, and his face was gloomy and terrifying. What an agar pavilion, I actually want to swallow this lead powder for profit!

"Miss?"

"Lin Bai, when you went yesterday, how was Nangu?"

"Nangu... Nangu was sold after being tortured in a post house, and now... It's not good now......" Lin Bai thought that the young lady knew about Nangu's injury and didn't dare to hide it anymore.

"What? Tortured? Lin Bai, why did you say it today? "Lin is extremely angry, why didn't anyone tell Nangu when she was tortured?

"Miss is angry, I don't dare to say."

"Lin Bai, you ......"

"Miss, don't be angry first, it's better to save Nangu first."

That's right, Nangu! A human life is not worth a paper powder list! Hehe, don't you want this recipe? Then take it!

When I went back to the house, I wrote down the remaining half of the recipe and handed it to Lin Bai, but I felt that something was wrong!

Cutting-edge technology sometimes doesn't necessarily bring wealth, but can also be fatal. It is not known if the shopkeeper has the heart of harming people, and the heart of death cannot be had, but the heart of preventing people is indispensable, and it is better to make a plan first.

"Lin Bai, come here."

Lin Bai came over with his ear, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

“……”

"Got it!" Or the young lady is thoughtful.

In the lobby of the Agar Pavilion, before Lin Bai entered the door, the shopkeeper who had been standing at the counter greeted him first.

"Childe is lucky, I don't know what your son-in-law said? Did you bring the rest of the recipes? While welcoming Lin Bai into the house, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Fang Zi didn't bring it, but my son-in-law agreed."

"And what about the rest of the recipe?" The shopkeeper wondered why he didn't bring Fang Zi over since he agreed.

"My son-in-law is sympathetic to me and I am still young, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take the gold, can you ask the shopkeeper to give me a ride? When he arrived at home, Childe naturally wanted to hand over the rest of the recipe to the shopkeeper! Lin Bai told the truth.

This little boy's mind shopkeeper guessed a few points, but shopkeeper Zhang was also afraid that he would be intercepted with gold! Therefore, he said, "I am afraid that it will not be safe to carry this gold on the road." ”

"Don't worry about this shopkeeper, my son-in-law said...... It's just that the shopkeeper is also asked to bring two strong men to carry it. ”

"That's a good idea, so it's decided! Childe, you wait, I'll go and prepare. ”

"Well, I'm tired of the shopkeeper."

A short time later, two strong men came over carrying a half-old elm box.

"Childe wants to be tested?"

"Hmm." Saying that, Lin Bai opened the box, doubled it carefully, and saw that there was gold on the ground, so he took the shopkeeper back to the post house with confidence, and Lin Bai led the way in front.

Not long after, the royal post house arrived, and the shopkeeper saw Lin Bai stop at the door, could it be that it was a nobleman from the imperial court, who knew that the emperor had come to Jiangnan, but it had nothing to do with these honest businessmen, who knew that this time he would meet a nobleman!

"Shopkeeper, we have arrived at the place where we live, and I bother you to wait." Saying that, Lin Bai entered the post house, but instead of getting the recipe, he found two good servants to help carry the box!

"Shopkeeper, I gave you this recipe today, you can take it." After a pause, he said, "You know what this place is!" Childe only accidentally discovered this fat powder, and he didn't want to be disturbed by others, and he hoped that the shopkeeper would keep your mouth shut. Lin Bai said with a glance without a hint of a smile.

"I didn't know that the little boy was a noble person before, and I wanted the little boy to have a lot of them, so he must be tight-lipped in the next place." The shopkeeper nodded again and again, this little boy seems to be the son of an official eunuch, at first he was too careful, thinking that maybe this little boy would come to compete with him in business in the future. Now it seems that since he is a child of an official family, he has always looked down on businessmen who are covered in copper stench, so he put down all his hanging hearts, happily took half of the square, and led people away.
