When he was in Jichangyuan, Xue Congjia liked this taste quite a lot, he felt that in addition to the sour and bitter smell of medicine, there was another taste in his life, which was good.

His hand that was about to push away Hatsu Tao quietly fell. This girl has suffered a lot along the way, and he can't bear to push away the first peach anymore.

Xue Congjia was already very unfamiliar with the concept of mother, Chu Tao's mother should be a tolerant woman, so he asked, "What kind of person is your mother?" ”

Chu Tao tilted her head and giggled: "My mother is very capable, she has arranged hundreds of people up and down the house properly, and she is also very good to her subordinates, always with a knife mouth and a tofu heart." ”

Chu Tao said: "If I leave, my mother will be angry, so you have to go back with me obediently, Xue Congjia, can you like me." ”

Xue Congjia rarely smiled, and his smile was like a crack in the frozen lake in early spring, and at a glance, he smiled softly, but the words he said were so cold, I will protect your safety until you return to Jinling.

The owner of the casino is named Xie Yun, and according to the gambling contract, the conversation between the two is set up in his own home.

Xue Congjia saw Xie Yun, Xie Yun just asked Xue Congjia about his personal affairs and asked about the time of tea, this person was introduced by the shopkeeper Fang, and he only said that he was a son of a big businessman in Jinling, and the specific shopkeeper Fang didn't say much.

Xie Yun has a good impression of Xue Congjia, he has no children under his knees, so he naturally wants to call a son-in-law to take over his own business, he has seen a lot of people like Xue Congjia, and the disciples from the big family are not the children of the main branch, even if they are excellent, the survival realm is very difficult, it is better to join a rich family.

Xie Yun himself is a businessman who can't see the light, so he naturally won't look down on Xue Congjia who is "also a businessman", so he is very enthusiastic about Xue Congjia in private, and his daughter has shouted out several times, although his daughter is not as beautiful as the little girl around him, but her daughter's words and deeds are cultivated according to everyone's beauty, and she naturally has her own strengths.

Xue Congjia was like a mirror in his heart, but he didn't see through it, and in the face of Xie Yun's inquiry with a gun and a stick, he dodged without missing a trace.

Because of his special childhood and lonely experience, Xue Congjia grew into a teenager who didn't understand the amorous feelings, he didn't have low self-esteem or inferiority, he didn't care whether his skin was good or bad, he was firm in his heart, he had his own goals, and he didn't care about anything else, and the vast majority of women were no different in front of him, so most people would find him difficult to approach.

Xie Yun saw that Xue Congjia's mind was not on the marriage matter at all, so he had to change the topic and said: "Little boy, I lost the gamble between the two of us before, according to the agreement, if the little boy wants to ask, I must know everything." ”

Xue Congjia's face was expressionless, although Xie Yun's words were very sincere, but how could a person who could build such an illegal underground casino in such a short period of time and run the casino thrivingly, how could he dig out his heart and lungs with himself. Xue Congjia went to talk this time, and every detail of his body was in place, such as he was wearing white, washed and yellowed, and a pair of half-worn black boots were too plain, and there was no trace of pattern. It's really like a child from a businessman's family.

"What did the proprietor rely on to make his fortune?" Xue Congjia lightly clapped the table with one hand, and knocked out a dull voice, as if urging Xie Yun to speak.

Xie Yun also took a sip of tea casually: "Since ancient times, the two merchants of salt tea have formed their own factions, but Tao Zhugong is our common ancestor, in addition to the salt tea business, can I find another way?" ”

Xue Congjia bowed his head and said: "If the owner says so, it is the same as my own family, and our Jinling Jia family has been selling tea for a hundred years." ”

"Oh? In this way, my Xie family will have an additional network in Jinling in the future. Xie Yun was very happy.

Xue Congjia lowered his head and refocused his gaze on Xie Yun's bowl of tea soup, the turquoise tea water was sinking with tea leaves that were as delicate as a bird's tongue, which had been completely stretched, and the complete and delicate leaves were like a flat boat, sinking in a pool of spring water.

"I mean, if the owner really started as a tea merchant, then he does have one more network in Jinling." Xue Congjia said lightly.

Xie Yun still said calmly: "What does this mean?" Are you saying I didn't start out as a tea merchant? ”

"The tea served by the owner is Linhu black tea, which is produced in the Wuyi Mountains, which is demanding on the growing environment, and it must not grow by the lake, otherwise the leaves will be black. This tea is not famous but very valuable, and it is worthy of your identity, but there is a rule for drinking this tea, only take it the first time when drinking, because its leaves will slowly bloom with a hint of bitterness when they slowly unfold. There are no rules for tea merchants when it comes to tea tasting. Xue Congjia said.

Xie Yun generously drank the tea in his hand and said, "What the little boy said is right, but I, Xie, prefer this bitterness." ”

Xue Congjia said aggressively: "Yes, this trace of bitterness is nothing, and there are many people who love this mouth." But the younger generation still has to persuade here, the bitterness comes out, and the toxicity of the tea comes out, so it's better to drink less. ”

If the three kings are here, they must pat their legs, such a little guard is really evil, and such an unpopular tea also knows. Xue Congjia had seen this kind of tea in Mr. Zhu's study, and Mr. Zhu proudly introduced it to himself. Today, Xue Congjia only accidentally discovered that Xie Yun's way of drinking tea was wrong, so he judged that he was a layman.

"It seems that the little boy is indeed very knowledgeable. But you're right, I really don't know much about tea, the tea business is run by a little girl, and I used to sell rice. Xie Yun smiled slightly.

Xie Yun generously admitted that he was a layman, and mentioned his daughter again, a thought quickly flashed in Xue Congjia's mind, he said: "The younger generation knows a little about tea, so I want to know the price of tea in Linhu black tea here in the owner's house, maybe you can make a difference in the middle." ”

"The market price is one hundred and fifty silver." Xie Yun replied quickly.

"What about the entry price?" Xue Congjia asked.

Xie Yun smiled and said, "Little boy, this is Xinyang, it's my place to thank someone, are you here to steal business with me?" ”

Xue Congjia said: "The owner misunderstood, although my Jia family has a big business, but I am a side branch, or a concubine, if you want to make the business bigger and stronger, you have to learn more and ask more." Fang is the younger generation is abrupt, and he apologizes to the owner here. ”

"It doesn't matter." Xie Yun waved his hand, he stood up and paced back and forth in the room a few times, and then carefully recalled what Xue Congjia said, and asked rhetorically: "Little boy, you said, what should be important in doing things is the result or the process?" ”

Xie Yun didn't start with salt tea, and the money he earned before was not clean, so he was most annoyed by others telling him things like "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way". On the contrary, he felt that the result was more important, as long as he sat in a position that was difficult for others to reach, who would dare to ask him where the money came from? Who cares if they have blood on their hands?

Xue Congjia didn't know what kind of medicine Xie Yun was selling in the gourd, he knew that Xie Yun's city was very deep, and he might not be able to learn some useful information from this conversation, in order not to reveal his identity and arouse Xie Yun's suspicion, at the beginning of the conversation, Xue Congjia deliberately led the conversation over and asked Xie Yun to take his words.

Xue Congjia said: "I understand those who use unscrupulous means to achieve their goals, but I think it's better not to be too despicable." ”

Xie Yun actually doesn't look like the owner of a casino at all, more like a showman, his temperament is very similar to Shi Li, both of them are gentle and clean, both of them have a gentle smile on their faces, I don't know if they have been disguised for too long, he himself has to believe that he is just an innocent businessman, it stands to reason that he doesn't need to talk to Xue Congjia for so long, but he always has a rare mentality, he wants to be the Bole of the young man in front of him.

Anyway, his means have never been bright, Xie Yun laughed dryly, still with a relaxed demeanor: "You have your own bottom line, this is very good, you young people should be like this." He pushed his tea away and motioned for someone to bring him a new cup of tea.

There is no one now, the whole hall is very quiet, this room is lit and ventilated, there is a chirping of birds outside the house, but the two people in the room are silent, Xue Congjia does not plan to ask anything, he is calm.

Finally, Xie Yun opened his mouth first: "You tell me what kind of person you are." ”

"The great-great-grandson of Jia Zhengpai, a tea merchant in Jinling, whose parents died early, has been living with the fourth master of Jiafu." Xue Congjia cut the railway.

"What are you doing in Xinyang?" Xie Yun asked again, and his tone became tougher and tougher.

"Follow the shopkeeper of Pinshi Zhai to make a living. I lost money in the stone business, and I wanted to go back to my old business. Xue Congjia replied.

"What do you want to ask me?"

"I've already asked, what did the owner rely on to get started?"

"It's not honest. You are a businessman, and businessmen will talk about a good word among themselves, if you join my Xie family, the entire family business will be handed over to you, and Xie will do his best to teach you, and you will not have to ask for a living from now on, I don't know what else you have to hesitate about this kind of thing. Xie Yun said slowly.

Xue Congjia raised his eyebrows: "The owner allows me to think about it for a few days." ”

Xie Dongjia said: "The girl who appeared in the casino is your concubine?" You can rest assured, the little girl is not a person with a small belly, and our Xie family can tolerate a concubine. ”

"She's not my concubine." Xue Congjia subconsciously denied it, is he really qualified to take a concubine?

Xie Yun shook his sleeves contemptuously, and the servant put the tea cup again, he took another sip of tea, and said, "If you want to achieve great things, you shouldn't be stumped by the love of your children." ”

Xue Congjia returned to his residence, it was already dark, he changed his clothes and was ready to have dinner, before he could eat two bites, the three kings sent someone over to call him to discuss things, and Xie Yun talked extremely hard, he had been nervous for a whole day, so his appetite was not very good, and he put down his chopsticks after drinking a few mouthfuls of soup.
