The banquet was divided into inside and outside, and the banquet was opened with twenty sides.

A table is open in the main hall and is the master's seat. Gao Pragmatic's mother, Gao Yan's wife Zhang's is the chief, Gao Pragmatic, Gao Wuguan, and Gao Wuqin's three brothers are accompanied by Gao Yunhuan and Gao Yunting, and the fourth brother Gao Wujian, who is only two years old, is taken by his nursing mother and does not attend the table.

Famous Yu dishes such as oily river carp, peony swallow vegetables, white steak wide belly, fried purple crispy pork, jade shredded fish, abalone in clear soup, chicken tofu, scallion grilled mutton, hibiscus sea cucumber and other famous Yu dishes are all absent.

The other nineteen tables are all open outside the courtyard, fortunately today's day is beautiful, and a shed is built, and a fire is lit under each table, otherwise the winter will eat in the courtyard, I am afraid that it will be frozen and panicked.

The nineteen tables outside the courtyard, except for one table for Gao Ming and several stewards of the Gao family, the remaining eighteen tables are all prepared for the horsemen brought back by Gao Shishi, although they are not as full of delicacies as the main seat, but they also have wine and meat.

The Zhang family has instructed these people to escort the eldest young master home, and the family must not be stingy, and the supply of wine and meat will be released. Gao Pragmatic also gave them a rare relaxation of discipline, saying that today's meal, wine and meat are casual, they can eat as much as they want, and drink as much as they want.

However, Gao Jue separately warned the riders after Gao Pragmatic left that it was okay to eat meat at will, but to drink in moderation. Xinzheng Gao's family is a famous family in Zhongzhou, if anyone dares to get drunk and play drunk, he will personally take it down and throw it into the Shuangye River to sober up.

The riders laughed and promised.

There was also a rider who talked a lot, knowing that Gao Jue was not an upright person, so he asked him: "I said the deputy of the group, who was that guy outside the village just now, he looked like a dog, and he dared to play tricks with the eldest young master?" ”

Gao Jue's smile froze and he sighed: "It's the eldest young master of the big house, don't be rude." ”

All the riders looked at each other, and they all consciously said no more.

And at this moment, in the main hall, Zhang was also asking about the conflict that had occurred outside the village just now. Gao pragmatic did not shy away from saying it, and simply told her to listen.

After hearing this, Zhang's brows frowned slightly, and said: "He is a little frivolous, but you have gone too far by doing this, and everyone can't wipe their faces when they make trouble." ”

Gao Pragmatic pondered for a while and asked: "It stands to reason that the uncle has the grace of enlightenment to his son, and the son really shouldn't be like this to the eldest brother, but I just came back, and he is like this with a gun and a stick. ”

Zhang sighed, shook his head, and said, "This matter ...... I'm afraid it's caused by that Jinghua soap. ”

Gao pragmatic rolled his eyes and asked, "He wants the share of Jinghua soap in his mother's hand?" ”

Zhang nodded and explained the situation in recent months. It turned out that after the highly pragmatic Jinghua soap was put into production, a part of the output has been sent to Xinzheng, and Zhang's is responsible for the operation.

At the beginning, the production capacity was limited, and Zhang's got not many goods, so he only gave away and promoted them in a small area in Xinzheng.

Later, Jinghua soap was sold in Beijing, and Nanjing also opened up sales, and Sanshenyuan expanded production three times a year. According to Gao Shishi's previous design, the goods sent to Xinzheng were according to the production ratio, and there were too many goods at this time, so Zhang had to start giving away for sale.

Since it is necessary to turn to selling for profit, it cannot be done only in Xinzheng County, and the Zhang family soon contacted the Zhang family in Puzhou to ask for a few available people and began to operate in the whole of Henan.

Puzhou Zhang's business for several generations, rich on the first side, of course, the business talents in the entrainment are indispensable, plus Jinghua soap has become popular in the north and south of Beijing, it is a profiteering monopoly product, this business is simply too good for them to do.

In less than half a year, Jinghua soap opened up the situation in the entire eight provinces of Henan, especially the Kaifeng Mansion to which Xinzheng belongs, which was sold out of stock at every turn like the two capitals in the north and south.

Selling so hotly, Zhang's not only earned a lot of profits, but more importantly, he also got closer to many upper-class people in Henan officialdom and shopping malls.

It's a pity that Zhang knows that he is an unsuccessful person, and has always regarded this profit as his eldest son's industry, where is there a mother who is willing to lose his son, of course, he rejected Gao Wuzi, saying that this is a pragmatic deal, if you want it, go and talk pragmatically.

Gao Wuzi naturally didn't dare to write directly to Gao Shishi, for fear of being discovered by the third uncle Gao Gong and reprimanded by him, so he held a grudge. This time, Gao Pragmatic returned to his hometown for the exam, he was originally in the county seat, and he had a lot of fun, unwilling to deign to pick up this younger brother, and happened to run out of money in hand, thinking that since Gao Pragmatic came back, maybe he could find him to cheat some dry shares of the soap business, so wouldn't he no longer worry about running out of money to spend?

In Gao Wuzi's opinion, even if the north and south Erjing can't reach it themselves, Henan's business is so hot, it's not too much for you, a younger brother, to respect your brother's filial piety to your brother, right? Anyway, when you were enlightened, my father taught you to read!

It's a pity that this thing can't even speak when he asks for help, and when a few words are not yin or yang, the smell of gunpowder comes up, and in the end it looks like this, and he loses face, not to mention it, let alone the dry stocks.

After listening to Gao Shipra, he was a little embarrassed. In fact, according to his thinking, if Gao Wuzi wanted the dry shares of the Henan part of Jinghua soap in the early days, he was willing to give it, and it should be regarded as repaying the uncle's enlightenment, anyway, although the soap is indeed very profitable now, it is nothing in Gao Shishi's eyes.

For Gao Pragmatic, the soap business is just a business to accumulate the first pot of gold, and it is not the core industry in his planning. What's more, it is only given to some cadres in Henan Province, although the money to Gao Wuzi is a huge amount of money, but what is it for him to be pragmatic?

If you give it early, maybe there won't be such a thing today.

But Gao Pragmatic can't blame Zhang's for this, after all, in Zhang's opinion, it is a matter of course to take care of his son's industry.

Gao pragmatic thought for a while, and said: "Uncle is kind to me, I can't help but repay it, the eldest brother is the only bloodline of the uncle, if I am too harsh on him, outsiders don't know, I'm afraid to say that I am ungrateful, which is not beautiful." ”

Zhang sighed: "That's right, but you have a conflict today, if you give him another share at this time, I'm afraid it's not the way." ”

Gao Shishi sandwiched a piece of river carp, pulled out the fish bone, ate it deliciously, smiled, and said, "It's okay, if you don't give the soap to dry the stock, I can also give him another fortune." It's just that this is the first and last time, and if he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, I can't blame me. ”

Zhang was surprised: "What wealth? ”

Gao pragmatic smiled: "My son happens to have a deal in his hand, which has been done in Jingshi in the past few months, and the effect is not bad, it is called honeycomb coal...... Mother, although our coal in Henan is not as much as in Shanxi, it is really a lot, not to mention Pingdingshan, even if we are in Xinzheng, is there a shortage of coal? ”
