Chapter Twenty-Three: The Big Fish

Everyone left Haidai Garden, and Li Shuang, as the host, led Chen Zheng and Qin Ning to wander around Dongyang County.

Chen Zheng deliberately pulled Li Shuang two steps behind and asked quietly, "Brother Li, are you interested in Miss Qin Ning?" ”

Li Shuang was stunned for a moment, his face turned slightly red, and he nodded lightly, which was considered to be an acknowledgement.

Chen Zheng had already seen that although Li Shuang always talked to him along the way, his eyes always fell on Qin Ning.

"Then why don't you talk to her more?" Chen Zheng asked.

Li Shuang muttered, but Chen Zheng didn't hear clearly.

"What did you say?"

Li Shuang looked at Qin Ning in front of him, and found that the other party didn't pay attention to him, so he raised his voice slightly and said, "I'm not embarrassed." ”

What? Chen Zheng was a little confused, such a son-in-law who spoke a little out of tune, would be embarrassed to talk to a girl! This is really an eye-opener.

The dignified son of the county magistrate is dressed like a gentleman, and he is embarrassed, you don't lose your face!

"Do you know what the three elements of chasing women are?" Chen Zheng asked.

Li Shuang shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it, would you like to hear about it?" ”

"Let me tell you, you remember, the three elements of chasing women: bold, careful, and shameless!" Chen Zheng taught as if he had come over.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Li Shuang asked, "Is it useful?" ”

"Does it work? I have a lady, do you say it's useful. Chen Zheng said angrily.

Li Shuang looked suddenly enlightened, arched his hand to Chen Zheng, walked forward quickly, squeezed Yin Yin away, and stood beside Qin Ning.

Yin Yin rubbed her arm that was hurt by Li Shuang, and muttered in her mouth, knowing that she didn't say anything good at a glance.

Chen Zheng was relieved to see that Li Shuang finally stopped bothering him by his side.

Originally, Chen Zheng didn't plan to go shopping with them, but when he was eating just now, he had just received a big order from Li Shuang, and the sandalwood and the deposit had not yet arrived, so of course I had to accompany him as much as possible at this time.

In this way, Chen Zheng and Yin Yin became two light bulbs, accompanying Li Shuang and Qin Ning.

Several times, Qin Ning wanted to take the initiative to communicate with Chen Zheng, but Chen Zheng handed Li Shuang a look, and the latter pulled Qin Ning away and continued to talk about the sky.

After Chen Zheng's guidance of "chasing women's three elements", Li Shuang is obviously in a much better state than before, and talking eloquently beside Qin Ning can be regarded as earning back some face for the identity of the county commander's son.

Chen Zheng is not idle, and now he has a huge sum of fifteen taels of silver, of course, he has to buy more.

When they were almost shopping in Dongyang County, Chen Zheng already had a big bag on his body, in addition to the many things he bought for his wife, there were also all kinds of food, and he took it back and distributed it to each family.

Li Shuang wanted to send Qin Ning back to the inn, so Chen Zheng walked to the Yuelai Inn alone, but they had already agreed that on the second day, Li Shuang would send sandalwood.

After Chen Zheng returned to the inn, about half an hour later, Wei Dayong and his party also returned.

As Chen Zheng expected, all the red pine wood on the carriage was sold, but it was sold for less than fifty taels of silver.

Silver looks like it makes a lot more money than Chen Zheng, but the cost performance is far from Chen Zheng.

When Wei Dayong learned that Chen Zheng's slingshot was sold for five taels of silver, he finally felt that those red pines were sold cheaply.

"Uncle, why don't we change careers to make slingshots in the future, save trouble and make money!" Wei Dayong suggested.

Chen Zheng glanced at him and said with a smile: "How many people do you think can buy a slingshot for 5 taels of silver?" ”

Wei Dayong was stunned, scratched his head, and said, "Also, why do you say that I can't meet this kind of wronged leader?" ”

"If you want to see it, you can see this wronged man tomorrow." Chen Zheng said.

Wei Dayong frowned and asked, "Will he come to retreat the slingshot tomorrow?" Then let's go overnight, 5 taels of silver, which is not a small amount. ”

Chen Zheng was full of black lines, and said: "What to retreat, I made a big deal with him, and tomorrow he will send some wood and ask me to make him a piece of furniture." ”

Wei Dayong breathed a sigh of relief, then rolled his eyes and said, "Since he is a wronged man, it is better to slaughter more silver, hehe." ”

"Second brother, when you are in business, you have to take a long-term view, and you can only catch big fish by putting a long-term line." Chen Zheng looks old.

"It's still my aunt who thinks thoughtfully."

Chen Zheng patted Wei Dayong on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Second brother, you still have a lot to learn!" ”

After speaking, Chen Zheng went to the so-called "upper room" to rest.

Early the next morning, everyone had just finished breakfast, and there was a commotion outside.

Even the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn went out in person, and Chen Zheng guessed in his heart that it should be Li Shuang who had arrived.

Sure enough, a moment later, Li Shuang walked in, and the shopkeeper next to him laughed all the way, but Li Shuang didn't even pay attention to it.

Chen Zheng nodded, this guy is finally a little bit of a gentleman, and he still has a lot of potential.

Li Shuang glanced around the lobby for half a circle, saw Chen Zheng, hurriedly walked over, sat down and said, "Brother Chen, I brought the wood, you go and take a look." ”

Chen Zheng nodded and said, "Pull down the backyard of the inn, our carriage is also there, just in time to load." ”

After Li Shuang heard this, he turned his eyes to look at the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper instantly understood, and arranged for the guy to move Li Shuang's sandalwood to the backyard.

The two got up and walked to the backyard.

Wei Dayong pulled down Chen Zheng and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, is this the big fish?" ”

Who knows, Li Shuang in front of him listened to half of these words, and returned to China and said: "Big fish? What big fish? Oh, Brother Chen, do you want to try our steamed mandarin fish, a special specialty of Dongyang County? ”

"This ......" Chen Zheng was a little embarrassed.

Li Shuang waved his hand and said, "Brother Chen don't have to be embarrassed, I came to Dongyang County, I didn't taste this mandarin fish, it's a pity, yesterday that Haidaiyuan didn't do the best, so I didn't order it, wait a while, I invite you to eat the most authentic steamed mandarin fish." ”

"Then I'll be disrespectful." Chen Zheng said with a smile.

Wei Dayong was stunned in the back, my uncle went to Haidai Yuan yesterday? That place, he knew, was not something that ordinary rich people could enter.

"Shopkeeper, who is this man?" Wei Dayong quietly went to ask the shopkeeper again.

The shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn leaned into Wei Dayong's ear and said, "This is the son of Dongyang County Ling, your uncle seems to have a good relationship with him." ”

The son of the county order is really very status, no wonder my uncle said that he is a big fish.

When he walked to the backyard, Wei Dayong was stunned again, there were several neat sandalwood trees next to his carriage.

Wei Dayong, who often does mahogany business, knows that these sandalwood are worth a lot of money, and my uncle is right, it is really a big deal, and it is really a big fish!
