"Childe, you're back." Seeing that Cao Yi's face was flushed and full of wine, and he was still holding a stack of documents in his hand, Red Sleeves hurriedly stepped forward to take the documents from Cao Yi's hand, and waited for Cao Yi to sit on the chair and make him a pot of sobering tea

"Well, this meal at noon is still worth it, fortunately I went to ask Yang Gong, otherwise all the contracts we signed before would not have legal ......effect," Cao Yi said with palpitations.

Looking at Red Sleeves' ignorant and unexplained expression, Cao Yi repeated the conversation between himself and Yang Gong at noon, and Red Sleeves was also scared when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "That son, we must sign another legally binding contract with them before the shopkeepers of the cooperative restaurants react." ”

"Well, let me slow down for a while, Yang Gong's amount of wine is really good, this Qinglian wine is really strong, Red Sleeves, you find out all the previous contracts, you let Musk Moon attack a few of them who are good at calligraphy to transcribe the white deed according to the previous one, and then we will paste the upper half of the deed tail on......"

Cao Yi had already explained what a perfect legally binding contract was before, and now that Cao Yi gave such an order, Red Sleeves naturally understood, so he answered the call and went out to find someone to come over and transcribe the deed together.

Cao Yi sat on the chair and watched the maids work so hard, wondering if he should also get out the movable type printing technique, which Bi Sheng should not have invented yet. But if you think about it carefully, it seems that even if it is invented, it is still not of much use, mainly because the engraving printing in this era is too developed, and many engraving workers do not need to know the words, they only need to engrave the words as patterns, and the salary is also extremely affordable.

On the contrary, the movable type printing is small and fragile, especially the clay mold, pottery mold and wooden mold, which is not easy to preserve, and the words with a higher degree of use, such as it, are also very quickly lost. If the material is made of copper, lead, and tin, the cost is extremely high, not to mention the cost increase caused by the engraving workload, and the ink effect is also not good. And nowadays, many books are illustrated, such as the Compendium of Materia Medica, Buddhist scriptures, etc., which will have exquisite and clear patterns, but movable type printing will not work. Therefore, although it is one of the four great inventions of China, the use rate is extremely low.

Cao Yi thought about it or gave up, bothered to figure it out, and there was no practical effect, the key is not to bring him wealth, next time there is such a large number of deeds to be transcribed, simply use engraving printing, get a few versions, and form a standard contract document, whether it is the Drunken Immortal Building or the Taibai Chamber of Commerce in the future, it can be used. Since Cao Yi thought of it, he would arrange it to be put into action, so he mentioned this matter to Red Sleeves, and Red Sleeves nodded and agreed, and when he was busy here, he would carry it out.

"Red sleeves, in my name, you invite those restaurant managers who cooperate with us, which is equivalent to the year-end party of our alliance, by the way, we can talk to them about the cooperation of rich eggs, they must come one by one faster than anyone else." Cao Yi saw that the red-sleeved ones were almost done, so he commanded.

"Okay, Childe, should you invite them over for tea and chat now, or invite them over for dinner?" Red Sleeves collected and sorted out the contracts written by many maids separately, and asked in his hand.

"I'm still a little dizzy now, and we're going to invite them now, it's very likely that a few of their shopkeepers have something on hand, so let's just put it at the dinner party in the evening, you can write a few invitations now, and let the people below send them over."

"Understood, Childe, I'll arrange it!" The red sleeves bowed and bowed, slowly retreated, and closed the door of the elegant seat by the way when leaving, so that Cao Yi could have a good rest.

When Cao Yi woke up, the sky outside had completely darkened, and he slept for nearly two hours, and only then did he know that the shopkeepers of Huafeng Building and Yinfeng Building had arrived, and he was arranged by Red Sleeves to drink tea in the next seat. Because Cao Yi was resting and sleeping soundly at the time, Red Sleeves couldn't bear to disturb and wake up, so he had to arrange it like this.

Cao Yi walked into the next seat to entertain him personally, and as soon as he met, he clasped his fists with both hands and bowed slightly, and said apologetically: "Shopkeeper Hua, shopkeeper Liu, I'm really embarrassed, I drank a little too much with the prefect Yang Gong at noon, and when I came back in the afternoon, my stamina surged, so I fainted and fell asleep, and I couldn't meet the two shopkeepers far away, which was too rude!" ”

"Cao Gongzi is serious, Cao Gongzi is the first talent in Jiangning, and the people we usually meet and deal with are literati, literary veterans, and official eunuchs and celebrities, we are just a businessman, where do we dare to let Cao Gongzi welcome him from afar." Hua Rui, the shopkeeper of Huafeng Building, said with his fists clenched.

These shopkeepers may not really have too high talent in terms of talent alone, but they are absolutely perfect in terms of human feelings, and people can't find the slightest fault with what they say. 29GG

"Where is the shopkeeper Hua, in my eyes, we are all the same, we are all two eyes and one mouth, and I don't have three heads and six arms, then again, I am also the same as the two shopkeepers, I am also a businessman, are you right!" Cao Yi said with a smile, saying this, the shopkeeper Dehua and the shopkeeper Liu both laughed.

The three of them drank tea and chatted while waiting for the arrival of other shopkeepers, and by the time they reached three o'clock, the personnel had basically arrived, including Shopkeeper Li of Cuiwei Building and Shopkeeper Zhang of Qingyuan Building. After everyone came, Cao Yi instructed Red Sleeves to arrange for someone to serve the food. Since the second half of the year with the Taibai drunk and Qinglian wine provided by the drunken fairy building, and the cooking technique of stir-frying, in the second half of the four months, even if they gave Cao Yi 30% of the profits, they actually earned more than the previous eight months, plus at this time it is the New Year is approaching, everyone is naturally in a good mood.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Cao Yi found a time to attract everyone's attention, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, from August to the month of Wax, with the supply of liquor from Zuixianlou, presumably your profits in the second half of the year should be very good, right?" ”

"Thanks to Mr. Cao for looking down on us and giving us a meal, so we had a pretty good time in the second half of the year!" The shopkeeper of Mingyue Tower spoke first.

"Brother Wang, what you said is wrong, Gongzi Cao didn't just reward a mouthful of rice, but rewarded us with a full pot of rice, you said the wrong thing, you should be punished!" Hua Rui of Huafeng Building pointed at the shopkeeper Wang and smiled.

"Yes, yes, yes! Count me wrong, Gongzi Cao, you have a lot, don't worry about me, I'll punish myself for three cups! The shopkeeper of Mingyue Tower hurriedly said.

"Don't, shopkeeper Wang, one cup is enough, don't think about the law to cheat me out of two more glasses of wine, come on, come on, I respect you!" Cao Yi said with a smile, which naturally caused a burst of laughter from everyone.

Cao Yi put down the wine glass, looked at everyone, and said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, you must all know about rich eggs, right?" ”

"Of course I know, such a hot rich egg, no one in the entire Jiangning City doesn't know, who doesn't know, don't hide it from Cao Gongzi You said, when everyone was queuing up to buy before, I secretly asked my buddies to line up a few times, and I bought dozens of rich eggs at that time to keep, hahaha!" The shopkeeper Liu of Yinfeng Building opened his mouth and said, which caused everyone's echo again, the rich egg was too hot before, and the people present basically went to buy it.

"Everyone, thanks to the fact that you can afford the liquor, you are willing to take out 30% of the profits in exchange for the half-price supply of our liquor, and in the past four months, you have been truthfully sharing the profits in the next, never cheating, in the next is very moved by this, in order to thank you, so I decided to change the contract agreement with you, I will provide you with half price of rich eggs, you see it?" Cao Yi peeled off the rich egg in his hand, took a bite of the dipping sauce, and proposed.

"Really? Is Cao Gongzi really willing to supply us with rich eggs at half the market price? The shopkeeper of Mingyue Tower asked excitedly at this time, and the others also looked at Cao Yi excitedly. You must know that Fugui Egg was really popular before, everyone rushed to buy it, and there was even a restocking group that bought at a high price and sold at a higher price, which is crazy to think about, and another thing that is even more exaggerated is that even the price of the raw materials for making Fugui Egg Dipping Sauce has nearly doubled, so you can see how popular Fugui Egg was at that time.

"This can still be fake, it's hard for you shopkeepers to think I'm talking drunk, besides, even if I'm drunk, don't you hurry up and sign an agreement with me, don't you care if I'm drunk or not, hahaha!" Cao Yi nodded and said, and then smiled heartily.

"Hahaha, what Cao Gongzi said is also true, we are in business, which one is not in the eyes of money, and it doesn't matter whether Cao Gongzi is drunk or not, as long as Cao Gongzi dares to come up with a new contract agreement, I dare to sign it!" Hua Rui, the shopkeeper of Huafeng Building, said with a smile, and winked at this Cao Yi quickly after speaking.

Cao Yi gave him a smile from an angle that others couldn't see.
