Chapter 125: Drunken Madness
Yang Yun and Yang Yuhuan came out of the big void, and Yang Yuhuan looked lazy.
After going out of the city for more than an hour, Yang Yuhuan was a little tired, even in late autumn, he saw beads of sweat on his forehead.
Yang Yun saw that there was a place to rent a carriage and an ox cart not far away, so he thought about it and took Yang Yuhuan's hand and said, "Sister, let's take the car back." ”
The sedan chair in the Tang Dynasty was only a means of transportation for the emperor and the concubine, and other people were not eligible to enjoy it, even the prime minister could only sit in a car or ride a horse, even in the Northern Song Dynasty, this ban was not broken, such as Wen Yanbo, a veteran of the four dynasties, due to old age and decrepitude, and another famous minister who was suffering from illness, Sima Guang, was allowed by the emperor to ride the sedan chair, which belonged to the grace of the old minister. It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that the rule that subjects were not allowed to ride in sedan chairs was broken.
Of course, in remote areas, such as today's Jiannan Daozhi Yizhou, although this prohibition also exists, it is rarely followed by the powerful, and Yang Yun has also sat in a sedan chair under the arrangement of the royal family. So after arriving in Luoyang, he didn't see the sedan chair, Yang Yun was very strange for a while, and only after asking He Wuliu carefully did he know that there was such a statement.
Yang Yuhuan glanced at the cart dealer with the mules and horses on the leash, and hurriedly shook his head: "No, it's too expensive, it's too cost-effective." ”
Just like going out to take a taxi in later generations, horse-drawn carriages and ox carts are the most important means of transportation in this era.
Even if Yang Yuhuan was cultivated by Yang Xuanhuan as political capital, the conditions of the Yang family were not enough to equip Yang Yuhuan with a special car, and Yang Yuhuan usually had to walk in and out of the mansion, which was also related to the fact that she was not Yang Xuanhuan's biological daughter.
Yang Yun took out a string of copper coins strung with red thread from his arms and said, "I just have some money here, which can be used to send my sister home." ”
"Do you still have money? Hey, stingy, I thought you gave it all to me. ”
Yang Yuhuan pretended to be displeased, but her eyebrows were full of smiles, and she was very moved by Yang Yunken's willingness to give her a money bag and rent a car for her.
Yang Yun said: "I sent my sister to the gate of the workshop, and then took the carriage back to the restaurant, and next time I prepared a car for my sister." ”
Yang Yuhuan's eyes were a little more longing.
In the past, under the fence, I had to look at the faces of Yang Xuanjian's family to live, and it was the norm to be bullied.
Now it's different, with the support of a rich younger brother, she can choose to take a car without walking when she goes out, even if she has an awkward relationship with the third uncle's family, she doesn't have to swallow her anger anymore, and she has a place to stay.
……
……
Yang Yun and Yang Yuhuan took the same car and arrived at the gate of Yudefang.
Yang Yun asked the coachman to stop, personally sent Yang Yuhuan into the door, and watched Qianying go away, then returned to the car and continued to take the car back to the Zuixian Building.
In his opinion, this meeting was very successful, not only saw a beauty like Yang Yuhuan, but also established a good relationship with her, and sent the money according to the predetermined plan, which greatly satisfied the vanity of the girl, and also made an appointment for the next meeting......
Yang Yuhuan seems to be very close to his younger brother, and the agreed time to meet again is the next day, indicating that the other party can't wait to know the current situation of his younger brother in Luoyang.
"As long as she is in need, I will do my best to meet it, even if the investment cannot be rewarded for the time being, but in the future, I can get a change in identity and status through her."
"And she also has superpowers, even earlier than me, and it seems that superpowers are not formed in a specific time period."
"Her superpowers are very different from mine, mainly to enhance the sensory stimulation of others, to form a unique charm, and then exponentially increase the attraction of the opposite sex. With the blessing of my spiritual power, she will gradually improve this ability, and this is also where I can help her, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain. ”
The carriage stopped at the gate of Shanglin Fangfang, Yang Yun paid the car money to enter, the sky in the distance had dimmed, and the restaurant began to open for dinner.
At this time, there were five tables of guests sitting in the lobby, Yang Yun entered the restaurant in the courteous greetings of the store guys, and just sat down behind the counter, a group of people poured in at the door, and the first person was Hu Shang Huo Muduo.
"Shopkeeper, I want to hold a banquet at your place to entertain guests...... Grab a few jugs of good wine and bring you all your specialties. ”
Huo Muduo has a very big tone, and there is a kind of arrogance that I have all-inclusive of this restaurant.
There were more than ten Hu merchants brought by Huo Muduo, plus the entourage, and the restaurant was stuffed at once.
These Hu merchants have a characteristic, that is, they never go up to the second floor, but only consume on the first floor.
This time was no exception, but this time they did it more thoroughly, asking Yang Yun to take his men to move the tables, chairs and benches on the first floor to the side, and then spread the large Persian carpet they brought to the ground, take off their boots after leveling, step on the carpet and walk around, and finally find a random place to sit down on the newly placed table.
As a result, the original five tables of guests on the first floor could no longer eat, and after discussing with them, the restaurant guy moved to the private room upstairs to eat, and Yang Yun also made a decision to send a pot of wine to each to make amends.
When the wine and food were served, Huo Muduo smiled and said to Yang Yun: "Little profiteer, how about sitting down and having a drink with us?" ”
Yang Yun said: "If it's not for me to invite guests, how can I accompany the guests to drink?" I welcome your willingness to patronize you, but you don't have to talk about buying out the recipe for the wine. ”
Huo Muduo was a little surprised: "How do you know that we want to talk to you about a deal at the wine table?" ”
Yang Yun glanced at the people beside Huo Muduo, these days they are actually no strangers to each other, every day there are so many familiar faces back and forth, when they arrive in the store, they shout to do business with him and buy his high-grade wine recipe, and now Huo Muduo is leading a swarm of people to come, not to mention the purpose.
"Hey, the 30,000 yuan you opened is too much, that's 30 million yuan, even if you march to fight, it won't take that much, and our 3 million yuan is already very fair, since you don't agree, then we can sit down and talk slowly, compromise it, and give you 10 million yuan?"
Huo Muduo took a fancy to Yang Yun's wine, and during this time, he took his group of "buddies" to fight hard, and insisted on negotiating a deal with Yang Yun.
Fortunately, this group of people did not use any other dirty means except to eat here, and no one followed him and his buddies, and no one came to the restaurant or went to the brewery to make trouble, just to talk about business fairly.
It is very different from the way powerful people like to buy and sell in this era.
Yang Yun secretly wondered, could this be Huo Muduo and others "salute first and then soldier", try to lower the price first, and then use despicable means if they can't negotiate?
Yang Yun said: "Thirty million dollars, no one is missing." ”
Huo Muduo was not surprised by Yang Yun's attitude, and said, "The price you offered is too high, even if you put all of us together, you can't reach it...... We come from all over the world, and there is no conflict between our trades, so we will meet to buy ...... Who else but us can offer a higher price? ”
Yang Yun didn't reply, he had his insistence.
Huo Muduo said: "Then let's contact some merchants in Luoyang to see if we can raise the price up, but it's best that the price on your side should also be loosened." Come, let's drink, and seeing that it will be the end of autumn, everyone will leave for home, and the next time we come to talk about business may be next year......"
……
……
Huo Muduo is quite open in business, and when he can't negotiate, he really doesn't get entangled anymore.
Yang Yun thought that Huo Muduo had a good character and couldn't play yin, but Huo Muduo was a different form after getting drunk that night, and he couldn't leave in the restaurant, and his companions couldn't get out.
“…… Let me tell you, no one can afford this price except Lao Tzu...... Are you Central Plains people willing to spend such a large price to buy it? They will come to steal, rob, coerce and lure! Do you have what it takes to stop? Are you a relative of a court official, or the illegitimate son of a royal noble? Sell it to me! In the future, you don't have to do this for a living, I'll get this good thing to the Western Regions and the Northland......"
Huo Muduo seemed to be playing drunk, but what he said also made some sense.
Some of the companions who had come to the feast with Homuduo left first, and the rest tried to pull Homuduo away.
Yang Yun really didn't want to entangle with Huo Muduo more, so he ordered the expulsion: "If you don't leave, I'll have to report to the official." ”
Huo Muduo said: "Although you report to the official, I have a relationship with Luozhou Taishou, he buys Western Regions beauties from me, do you say he will help you or help me?" If you let him know that you have good wine here, you can grab it. ”
Yang Yun said with a smile: "Since I opened the door to do business, I am not afraid of provoking official criticism, don't I believe you try?" ”
The two sides talked very unpleasantly.
Huo Muduo was drunk, almost acting on instinct, he came over with his teeth and claws, and wanted to continue to entangle with Yang Yun, Yang Yun directly pushed over with a dark force, Huo Muduo took a few steps back out of thin air, staggered and fell to the door.
"You...... How do you hit someone? ”
Huo Muduo fell to the ground with his butt, not figuring out what the situation was.
Yang Yun said: "Obviously you are a guest officer, you drank too much wine, dizzy and fell down...... Do you want to touch porcelain? ”
"Touching porcelain?"
This term is not understandable to people of this era.
Yang Yun asked Huo Muduo's friends with a smile: "Have you seen me hurt someone?" ”
These Hu businessmen were very realistic, they all shook their heads and said that they didn't see it, and some hurriedly persuaded them in the language of the Hu people, telling Huo Muduo that they had wronged Yang Yun, which made Huo Muduo very unhappy.
"Someone really pushed me, didn't you see? It's not him, it's you? ”
Huo Muduo wanted to get up from the ground, but he didn't wake up from the wine, his limbs were uncoordinated, and without anyone to help him, he got up halfway up by holding on to the door frame, and fell to the ground again.
Yang Yun shook his head and said, "You guys quickly take him back and sober him up...... If you want to talk about business, you have to talk about it seriously, and it is not interesting to play this kind of trickery. ”
The Hu merchants went up and helped Huo Muduo up.
Huo Muduo fell a few times in a row, and he was so dizzy that he couldn't tell the north and the south, shouting that he wanted to talk to Yang Yun about trading, but he was forced to go out.
Yang Yun hurriedly instructed the guys in the store to close the door panel, so that even if Huo Muduo tried to find fault, he would not be able to enter the door.
……
……
Because Hu Shang held a banquet in the drunken immortal building to entertain friends, the business closed very late that day.
But the money was still earned.
This group of Hu people has a lot of alcohol, and they have become resistant to high alcohol after drinking it continuously, everyone drank two or three pots tonight, Huo Muduo even drank five or six pots, it is difficult not to get drunk, and the money is naturally pouring into Yang Yun's pockets like flowing water.
In addition, Yang Yun did not adhere to the principle of small profits and quick sales when selling wine in Luoyang, he set the price of high-grade wine very high and sold it as a luxury product.
Opening a restaurant in Chengdu is only to make money, and if you want to open the market, you have to make appropriate profits.
But to Luoyang to open a restaurant, not only to make money but also to pay attention to taste, the main audience is not the common people, but dignitaries, it is best to attract the world's celebrities to patronize. If the price of wine is set too low, it will not be in line with the market positioning, and it will not attract the attention of those in the powerful.
In fact, he was not afraid that the powerful would know that he had good wine, on the contrary, he wanted to attract this group of people to come and consume.
The next morning, before the restaurant opened, Huo Muduo sent someone to apologize, but no one arrived, so he just sent a gift.
It's not a valuable thing, and the person sent by Huo Muduo helped explain that his master drank too much last night, and he smiled generously, promising to follow the rules when he visited in the future.
He also said that Huo Muduo was going to come to make amends in person, but there was a little bit of a problem in the business in Chang'an, so he left Luoyang West early in the morning and came to patronize him next time.
"Ten thousand times, Yang Xiaoguan, you didn't agree, this is ......"
When He Wuliu heard the price offered by Hu Shang last night, his eyes widened, and he didn't know what to say at all.
Yang Yun said: "It's nothing if you don't make a deal, this is not that Hu Shang has already said, and he will come next time...... Maybe he'll say yes next time? ”
He Wuliu was speechless, followed Yang Yun inside, cleaned up the stained Persian carpet left by Hu Shang last night, and restored the layout of the lobby of the restaurant that had been temporarily changed due to Hu Shang's gathering.
