Chapter 31 New Year's Gifts

After the New Year, it was time to go to the New Year, and the New Year's greeting activities in the town were sent to An Yong, and the county naturally belonged to Jiang Anyi.

The small door of the county yahou's house is like a city, Chen Zhixian accepted the gift, took the time to see Jiang Anyi, and said a few words, Jiang Anyi said goodbye. The same is true of the Yu Mansion, Jiang Anyi did not see Yu Zhiren, Yu Qingliang, the eldest young master of the Yu family, met on behalf of his father, and the two were relatively speechless after meeting and talking, Jiang Anyi got up and said goodbye.

It's almost noon, of course, it's to go to Guo's house for New Year's dinner. New Year's gifts can't be dealt with like last time, but fortunately, there is a whole set of gifts to sell in the shop, and the expensive ones are bought and carried to Guo's house.

Guo Fatzi took the gift, handed it to the servant beside him, and complained: "What are you doing with this unjust money, the things in Shunyifang are expensive and impractical, they are just empty shelves, you might as well buy some braised pig's trotters and sauce beef tendons, and my brother will take this bite." I haven't seen him for half a year, Xiao Jiang has grown up, and he came to compare with his brother, and he is almost catching up with his brother. ”

Listening to Guo Huaili's chatter, Jiang Anyi felt very relaxed, this is to visit relatives and friends, and there is no need to wear a mask to be tiring.

"My father and two brothers went out to pay New Year's greetings, and I was at home, in my father's words, who made me a showman? Hold the scene. Guo Huaili swayed his square steps, showing off proudly.

"By the way, how is my godmother? Is Yongzi still practicing martial arts? Is Yeona well-behaved? Tell my godmother that I will go to pay New Year's greetings in two days. Guo Huaili didn't stop talking, chattering all the way, some time ago he recognized Jiang Huang as his godmother, and the relationship between the two families became closer and closer.

Jiang Anyi saw that Guo Huaili was leading him into the main hall, and it seemed that he was talking about it. Jiang Anyi stopped him and said, "In the past, the first thing I did when I came to your house was to arrange a meal, how did you change your temperament." I've been walking all morning, I'm dying of hunger, Brother Guo, why don't we talk while eating. ”

Guo Huaili laughed, patted his belly and said, "This is in my taste, go, go to my hospital." Just now, Boss Xu from Baizhen Building came to pay New Year's greetings and sent a rare thing, even if you have a mouthful, I haven't eaten it a few times. ”

The celadon plate, which contains a palm-sized white jade square, sprinkled with emerald green onions, is really refreshing and pleasing to the eye.

"This is something that the gods eat, and money can't buy it." Guo Huaili took a piece and put it in Jiang Anyi's dish, and he also picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, squinting his eyes and tasting it very intoxicated.

White and tender as jade, lubricating and refreshing, it melts in the mouth, and there is a bean fragrance under the fine taste, a thought flashed in Jiang Anyi's mind, this should not be the "tofu" that demons often eat. Sandwiched another piece, the more I ate it, the more it felt like it, and I couldn't help asking, "This thing shouldn't be tofu, right?" ”

"Beans what?" Guo Huaili didn't hear it clearly, and replied: "This is called crisp white bi, and only the immortal chief of Sanqingguan will do it." Boss Xu is a great believer in Sanqingguan, and the Taoist temple gave him 20 yuan during the Chinese New Year, and my father had a good relationship with him, so he transferred 6 yuan to my family. According to the old Taoist of Sanqingguan, eating this thing can prolong life and become immortals, and you can't buy it with silver. ”

"Isn't it just made of beans, what's so strange?" Jiang Anyi was a little puzzled, and put another piece into his mouth, this thing is as white and tender as snow, it tastes really good, and the toothless old man can eat it.

"Made of beans? How do you know? You don't know how to do it, do you? After asking three times in a row, Guo Huaili's fine eyes became more and more round, and he stared at Jiang Anyi and said: "This thing is the old Taoist of Sanqingguan who said that he wants to make an elixir, do you know how to make a pill?" ”

Guo Huaili threw away the chopsticks in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he stared at Jiang Anyi like a hungry wolf, waiting for him to answer.

Jiang Anyi didn't care when he said it, looking at Guo Fatzi's big reaction, he reacted that this was a big business. Last time, the bamboo fan was said to be from an ancient book, but this time it doesn't seem to work. After thinking about it, Jiang Anyi had an idea, and said with a smile: "On the way home, I encountered rain, and I happened to see a small Taoist temple, and I remembered that I went to Laojunguan with you last time to make a wish and didn't repay my wish, so I added a tael of sesame oil money to the Taoist temple." The old Taoist in the view made this thing for me to eat, I thought it tasted good, and asked the recipe, so I knew that it was made of beans. ”

Guo Huaili stomped his feet, and said with a sad face: "I said that I always feel that there is something big to forget, it turns out that I forgot to repay my wish, tomorrow I will go to Sanqingguan, no, go to Laojunguan and wish to go." ”

"Xiao Jiang, An Yi, Xiao Yi'er, younger brother." A series of scurrying names are creepy, Jiang Anyi blocked Guo Huaili's fat face getting closer and closer, and said angrily: "I know, I'll tell you the recipe: soybean soak ......"

"Wait." Guo Huaili jumped up, looked around at the door, closed the door, leaned to Jiang Anyi's side, and said softly: "The law is not passed on to the six ears, speak lightly, don't be heard." ”

After reciting silently several times with numb eyes, Guo Huaili made sure that it was word for word, so he raised his glass with a smile and said: "Xiao Jiang, when you entered the door, you said that the gift you gave was not real, and my brother said it wrong, your gift is heavy and real." Come on, do one. ”

Then Guo Huaili began to ask for details, Jiang An had no psychology about him, and simply moved out the image of the old Taoist Chongyun of Changchun Temple, Chongyun Dao has a childish face, and a pair of long longevity eyebrows are very in line with the standards of immortals.

When the meal was almost finished, Jiang Anyi saw Guo Huaili squirming around, and there seemed to be sores on his buttocks, and said with a smile: "Brother Guo, you have something to do, I'll go to your study to find two books and go back." ”

"Okay, whatever you want." Guo Huaili stood up, was not polite, and left in a hurry.

In the middle of the next day, Jiang Anyi taught Yan'er to read and write in the house, An Yong practiced boxing in the courtyard, and Jiang Anyong practiced the boxing techniques he had just learned from his brother.

"Brother Guo is here, who is this?" Jiang Anyong's voice of greeting came from the courtyard, and Guo Huaili often came and went in Jiang's house, so he didn't need to report it.

"Yongzi is practicing, is your brother here? Oh, this is my dad. ”

The shopkeeper Guo came, Jiang Anyi hurriedly greeted him, and sure enough, the shopkeeper Guo was standing in the courtyard and looking around with a smile, Guo Huaili was holding a gift box in his hand and a bag on his shoulder, chatting with An Yong.

Invited the Guo family father and son to come into the house and sit down, Jiang Huang came out and said a few words, knowing that the Guo family father and son had something to say to their son, and left with Yan'er.

Guo Huaili saw that his godmother was gone, his eyebrows fluttered, and he jumped up and said, "Xiao Jiang, according to your method, you can make a crisp white bi." Grandma's, the Taoist priest of Sanqingguan is really black, what kind of god is the god to turn into a pill, one or two pieces of silver can't be bought, this is a few pennies, this morning brother I will eat crispy white bi as a meal. ”

Seeing that his son was so happy that he lost his shape, the shopkeeper Guo coughed lightly and said, "Li'er, you are a showman, pay attention to being gentle." ”

"Sven can't be used as food, as money." Guo Huaili muttered and sat back in his chair. Jiang Anyi secretly laughed, his godbrother is really a pistachio.

Guo Haiqing untied the burden on the coffee table, the gold was dazzling, and it was actually gold.

"This is fifty taels of gold, which is the principal of the Guo family's shareholding in Crisp Baibi, and the Jiang family is a shareholder with technology and enjoys fifty percent of the dividends."

Fifty taels of gold, equivalent to one thousand taels of silver, Jiang Anyi was stunned, this money is enough for his family to spend several lifetimes.

Seeing Jiang Anyi's expression, Guo Haiqing proudly stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, there was nothing more comfortable for him than being suppressed by gold and silver, and this moment made him forget that he was a businessman with a low status.

"Virtuous nephew, this crisp white bi business is a million profits, more money than folding fans, over the years countless people want to imitate crisp white bi has not succeeded, this business can really be called a day into the gold. Speaking of which, the fifty taels of equity still take advantage of you, but the Guo family can't take out more money for a while, so they can only make up for it later. ”

Jiang Anyi calmed down, thinking of the luxury of Zhuyunju, these fifty taels of gold are really not a big scene, it is a huge amount of money for himself, and a lot of money for the Guo family, but it is just a drop in the bucket for the powerful family, and he wants his mother to live in a place like Zhuyunju, so that Yan'er can dress up like Lin Wumei, this road is still long?

Guo Haiqing continued: "Invite people, the Jiang family doesn't have to worry about renting a shop, but the person in charge wants two, according to the practice of folding fans, what do you think?" ”

"Everything will be done according to what my uncle says."

Jiang Anyi pondered for a moment and said, "However, the profits of this crispy white business are too big, and I'm afraid that the two of us won't be able to control it." ”

"Not bad." Guo Haiqing clapped his hands and praised: "It's really rare for a virtuous nephew not to be carried away by dividends, and I came here today mainly for this." ”

"The famous industries all have a deep background, take the four famous wines as an example, Mingyuexiang is said to be the family of the queen's mother, Biluochun has the shares of the king of Anyang, and the Qiongzhou liquid wine workshop is under the jurisdiction of the Zhennan camp, and the dark shares of the general of Zhennan are indispensable, and the owner of Huang Crisp is unknown, but the people who seek to seize Huang Crisp's industry are all ruined and disgraced, which shows that the owner of Huang Crisp is mysterious and powerful."

Talking about these business giants, Guo Haiqing looked envious, and said eloquently: "My Guo family has been in business for four generations, and the blue wisps of the road have today's family business, which is famous in Xinqi County, but compared with the real rich businessmen, they are just small fish and shrimps. Take the folding fan business as an example, with an annual profit of nearly 10,000 yuan, which is considered a huge profit in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of those wealthy businessmen, it is just the cost of a banquet, and they disdain to ignore it. ”

After Jiang Anyi saw the Lin family's villa, he believed Guo Haiqing's words, a set of tables and chairs cost hundreds of taels of silver, and if there was no cost of 10,000 taels for holding a banquet, it seemed that he couldn't do it in the eyes of these family magnates.

"And the crispy white bi is different, the cost is low and the price is extremely high, almost a bean can be exchanged for the same size of gold, such a big fat, if the two of us act rashly, not to mention saving money, I am afraid that even the bones will be swallowed."

Guo Huaiping couldn't help but shudder, this morning he ate three bowls of crispy white bi, which is ten taels of gold, and two hundred taels of silver for one breakfast.

Jiang Anyi frowned and asked, "Uncle has an idea?" ”

"I heard that you are a student of Master Yu......

Hearing the song and knowing the elegant meaning, Jiang Anyi understood.

On the morning of the tenth day of the first month, Guo Haiqing, a wealthy businessman in Xinqi County, brought his son and Pingshan Town Xiucai Jiang Anyi to visit Yufu, and two hours later, Yu Zhiren, the head of Yufu, took his son and nephew to personally send guests to the gate, and everyone talked and laughed and said goodbye.

A letter from home was sent to Yufu, the servant of the Ministry of Officials in the capital, through the post station of 600 li, and the letter mainly talked about the three families of Yu, Guo and Jiang working together to operate the crisp white bi, and the Yu Mansion invested 50 taels of gold into the shares, and the profits of the three were equally divided......
