Gou Thirteen is happy, but also tormented. There is no way to eat with three women with different temperaments but strong temptation, and their inadvertent movements or smiles will make the young and vigorous thirteenth brother feel a sense of blood swelling.

Compared with the depression and happiness of Gou Thirteen, our Zeng Guofan Zeng Da Niu is even more helpless and bitter, in the morning the thirteenth master sent a thousand bags of spicy strips, I heard that there are a lot of them, but a large family of seventy or eighty, close to one person ten bags or even a hundred bags to take away, this thousand bags are not enough to take!

In addition to keeping filial piety for the Lafayette, there are less than fifty bags left, but I don't know how the news spread, the big men in the surrounding cities asked to see one by one with valuable gifts, and wanted a bag of spicy noodles for nothing else, even those squires and landlords who did not support him in forming the Hunan army came.

"Master, Lord Yin Zhang, the governor of Changsha Mansion, and Lord Wu, the governor of Changsha Mansion, have come to ask for a meeting!" Just when Zeng Da Niu was annoyed, the housekeeper came to tell him again, most of the people who came before were some squires and landlords, although they had some status, but it was not Zeng Da Niu's turn to meet, and it was okay to let the official family send it, but now that the parents and officials of Changsha Mansion are here, how can he avoid it!

"Hey, what a mess! Let's go, go with the official to meet you. "There's no way that these two are their own foreign aid in the court, so they can only be met with a hard head, otherwise they won't be able to mix up in the future, and the recruitment of their Hunan army will depend on these two to help!

"Master, in this case, we will be passive!" The housekeeper had also given fifty bags of spicy strips before, and when he went home and tried it, he found that it was really delicious, and he knew what these people were doing here, and he was all worried about his master.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's a big deal, when the time comes, the lord will find someone to get a batch over, but it can't be given away for free in the future, after you go down, count how many squires and landlords in our Changsha Mansion are ready to buy, and then place a unified order." Zeng Guofan's brain is not stupid, he was worried that the asking price was too high and no one would buy it, but now it seems that everything is a blind worry, since you sent it to the door, don't hang up your own official.

"Yes, but the price is sir?" The housekeeper naturally understands that if this spicy strip can really be sold, then the family's financial resources will be widespread, think about the taste, even if it is sold for one hundred taels and one bag, it is estimated that many people will send silver with their eyes, but it is a pity that he does not know that his master bought it for one hundred and one bags.

"Well, the price is two hundred taels! Twenty taels a piece, anyway, it doesn't matter how much the supply is in short supply, when the capital is on fire, business should not be very bad. At that time, the officer's military expenses will be settled. Zeng Da Niu put on his official uniform under the service of the maid, and said with a disdainful face. In fact, at the beginning, his positioning was the capital rather than Changsha Mansion, after all, those Eight Banners masters over there were really big customers, and their purchasing power was definitely the strongest in the Qing Dynasty.

"Ahh Oh, the villain will do it right away! The housekeeper was stunned, the master of the groove is the master, and the price is directly twice as high as he expected, if this is the case, our house will make a fortune in the future! As soon as the housekeeper was happy, he turned around and ran away, joking that millions of taels of silver were waiting, can you not be in a hurry!

"Zeng San, you kid is excited! Wait for the statistics later, and accompany the master to pick up the guests first! Really, a lot of age is still frizzy. Zeng Guofan roared with a dissatisfied face, so frightened that the housekeeper Zeng Santong knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, the master rarely loses his temper, it seems that these spicy strips are very troublesome!

Zeng San is not stupid, the master's performance is obviously a little low, otherwise it will definitely not make the master unhappy. So he didn't ask anything more with great interest, but obediently accompanied Zeng Guofan out to greet the two parents.

"Ouch, Lord Wu, Lord Zhang! What kind of wind is this blowing the two of you to me, you have something to tell me directly, I can go and greet you! At the gate, I saw two sedan chairs parked at the door, Zeng Guofan strode forward with a smile on his face and politely said, and two men in their forties wearing official uniforms on the side of the sedan chair hurriedly hugged the salute.

"Lord Zeng, this is an opinion on the younger brother, how rude it is for us to visit suddenly, I hope Lord Zeng Haihan!" Lord Wu is a short fat man, his face is very round, and he laughs like a Maitreya Buddha, and this old guy likes to laugh very much, but the methods of the Yin people can be said to be endless, which makes people wary of it.

"Hehe, excuse me. No, Lord Wu and I suddenly thought of some issues related to the development of our Hunan Army, and we specially came to negotiate with Lord Zeng, forgive me for the disturbance! "There is such a set of sayings in officialdom no matter what era, and it can't be too direct. No, these two were originally here to fight the autumn wind, and they couldn't say what the high-sounding Zeng Guofan could say, so he could only stretch out his hand and invite the two of them into the house.

"Lord Zeng, the recent recruitment and arrest of our Hunan army has brought a lot of inconvenience to our place." The two sides went to the living room to sit down, and after the housekeeper ordered someone to bring tea and close the door, Master Wu said with a smile.

"Hehe, that's no way! Even if it is difficult for us to share the worries of the master, we have to do it, but the two of you can rest assured that I will record the merits of the two of them, and the emperor and the queen mother will definitely be grateful at that time, and the official has recently gotten some good things, I hope the two adults like it. Zeng Da Niu is not stupid, people are here to pay for the errand, he smiled and clapped his hands, and the housekeeper walked in with two maids carrying two plates.

The eyes of Lord Wu and Master Zhang were instantly attracted by the uniquely packaged spicy strips on the plate, and the Adam's apple rolled up and down like a hungry wolf seeing meat. The reason why the two of them came together this time is for this thing, and sure enough, as rumored, the packaging is gorgeous and tasteful, and you can see the spicy strips inside at a glance, which are hot and spicy, superb!

"Well, those two adults, please compensate first. This is a delicacy that a Japanese official obtained from a foreigner, and the name is: Spicy Strips! Don't look at his simple packaging, but the road is simple, and you can see the food inside at a glance, concise and clear, it can be described as the best! Come on, you're welcome to try it first! Zeng Guofan looked at the two of them with eyes that were about to pop out, and smiled secretly in his heart, and said casually in his mouth. At the same time, don't forget to take out a belt and disassemble it and send it to the two.

"Lord Zeng is gracious, but this official is disrespectful. Then try it, huh! Hiss, so spicy, so refreshing! That's the taste, hiss, happy! Lord Wu first picked up a spicy strip and looked at it, then put it in his mouth and took a bite gently, and instantly the spicy and sweet burst in the buds, completely capturing his heart, which was even more delicious than the rumors.

"Well, delicious! It is definitely the first delicacy in the world, if Lafayette and the emperor eat it, it is estimated that it will be rewarded! After Mr. Zhang also tried one, he couldn't stop immediately, and said vaguely with spicy strips in his mouth, this is the rhythm of beating Zeng Guofan.

Nima, you have no opinion on Lao Tzu who eats and takes, but Nima still wants to share Lafayette and the emperor's reward with Lao Tzu, can this Nima have some face!

Zeng Guofan's face changed suddenly, and the smile disappeared. It's really that these two bastards have a bit of an inch, why should I share the good things that Lao Tzu finally got with you, it was tens of thousands of taels of silver in exchange, just waiting for the master to give some rewards to make up for the loss!

"Ahem, that Lord Zhang drank too much just now, don't mind, Lord Zeng, don't mind! This thing is definitely a good thing, I wonder if Master Zeng can give us more? "Lord Wu has the best eyes, and he has already discussed the two of them, one with a black face and the other with a red face, but when he saw Zeng Guofan's face change, he immediately smiled and played a round.

They weren't stupid, they had expected it to be like this, but they weren't drunk. There must be no share of the reward or something, but this spicy strip business has to be intervened, otherwise he will get pink eye when he looks at Lao Zeng's daily gold!

"Well, this spicy strip is far away, and the price is high, there are too many, but if the two adults are interested, the income of our Changsha Mansion can be four or six points." Zeng Guofan also knows that this business is too profitable, there must be a lot of people who are red-eyed, he can't eat alone, and is about to find some partners, although these two have a bigger appetite, but they are foreign aid for many years, they can try to cooperate, anyway, Lao Tzu is still afraid that you will not succeed if he has the channel?

"Okay, then I'll pay 100,000 taels! As long as Master Zeng takes me, I think we will definitely be able to make a fortune together, what does Master Zhang think? Lord Wu smiled proudly, but picked up a bag of spicy noodles in his hand and cut it, it was really that feeling that he couldn't stop.

"Okay, since Lord Wu is ready to play, I'm not welcome, thank you for Lord Zeng's generosity, I don't have so much, just invest 50,000 taels." Hey, this spicy strip is really delicious. "As soon as Master Zhang heard it, he knew that this should be Zeng Guofan's bottom line, and he didn't want to offend people anymore, although now Lao Zeng Fu is idle at home, but everyone knows that now his Hunan army has been paid attention to by the top, and when the time comes, he can definitely be promoted.

"Okay, the two of you are so happy, it's settled. I will arrange Zeng San to deal with it, and when the two of them need the goods, they will send someone to pick them up directly. The purchase price of each bag is 100 taels and the price is 200 taels, and I will give the two adults a price of 140 taels. Recently out of stock, I will order someone to notify two of you if it is in stock. Zeng Guofan knew that this matter could not be ambiguous, and the rules must be set, otherwise it would be very troublesome in the future, so he directly spread out the purchase price or something.

"Hahaha, don't worry, since we say that we are good to cooperate, we naturally believe in adults. As long as there is money to be made, then we will wait for the good news of adults. Let's take our leave, hahaha! Lord Wu understood, Zeng Guofan meant that everyone wanted to compete together, but it didn't matter what he was doing to make money these years, he immediately agreed and said goodbye.

"Okay, you two bring these with you to taste them. I won't keep two more, I hope we have a happy cooperation! Zeng Guofan didn't ink, he pushed the plate directly in front of the two of them and said with a smile, the two of them were not polite to take it directly and then said goodbye, it can be said that this meeting and conversation were very pleasant, but everyone knew in their hearts that they would be tied together in the future.
