Chapter 36: The Great Fool of the Ming Dynasty (Second Update, Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
Maybe it's because he's idle and bored, or maybe it's because the person in front of him really arouses his interest.
I looked up at the next day, and it was almost noon.
"There's a restaurant over there, tell me about it."
Shi Yiwen raised his leg and walked to the restaurant not far away.
Nearly noon, the business in the restaurant was also lively, most of the guests were scholars in student shirts, and went straight to the second floor, Shi Yiwen chose a clean seat near the window and sat down, and the middle-aged scholar sat opposite.
As soon as the two of them sat down, the bartender came over with a smile on his face, and asked politely while wiping the table:
"Guest, what do you want?"
Without waiting for an answer, he continued.
"There are freshly marinated chickens in Xiaolou, and fresh fish just delivered from the river......"
The bartender gushed happily, but Shi Yiwen waved his hand casually and said.
"Pick up two specialty dishes."
"Okay, one braised chicken and one braised fish."
As soon as he saw this son, the bartender knew that this was the master who didn't care about money, and of course he definitely didn't like to be disturbed, so he immediately said, "Guest officer, this meat dish is ready, and the small one will arrange two more vegetarian dishes for you, what do you think?" ”
Nodding slightly, Shi Yiwen instructed the bartender.
"Just pick two plates of fresh and tender fried ones, and then beat a pound of wine."
Xiao Lian, who had been standing behind the young master, listened to the young master's orders, and then instructed the bartender.
"Bring a pot of hot water, the cup is going to be washed, and we have tea leaves with us."
"Okay!"
The bartender shouted yes and hurried downstairs.
After a while, the teapot and teacup were brought by the bartender, and the little mercy took out the teabox and poured the tea leaves into the cup. Although he was a little reluctant, he finally poured a cup of tea for the liar, and this person dared to deceive the young master, which is really damned.
After taking a sip of tea, although I can't tell the quality of the tea, this tea is really refreshing to drink.
Wu Cai took a sip of tea and immediately called out.
"Good tea!"
Then let him put down the teacup, looked at the son in front of him, and it was difficult to calm down for a while.
This is an opportunity!
For Wu Cai, who is already forty-five years old, there is no hope for the imperial examination career for a long time. Otherwise, they would not have provoked banners to defraud on the streets when there was not enough money. For him, Qiu Yu, instead of looking forward to winning the list, it is better to take the opportunity to deceive a few people.
But now, the son in front of him gave him a chance.
Putting down the teacup, Shi Yiwen smiled.
"Tell me, what do you have a good idea?"
"Uh,"
was asked by Shi Yiwen, Wu Cai hurriedly replied.
"In Xia Wucai, a native of Yingzhou County, Fengyang Prefecture, Nanzhili."
"Oh,"
Shi Yiwen glanced at him, whether this name is true or not, I'm afraid only God knows.
"Before, I was really sorry for the silver of my son, and I was forced to be helpless at that time......"
In the kung fu that Wu Cai wanted to explain, he saw that the smile on the face of the boy in front of him was getting weaker and weaker, and even yawned, obviously, the boy in front of him didn't care about his explanation at all, indeed, some things, even if they were explained, what was the point?
Taking a deep breath, Wu Cai asked rhetorically.
"Childe, do you know, what is the most fashionable thing in Nanjing now?"
Holding a teacup in his hand, Shi Yiwen didn't speak, just looked at Wu Cai with a smile, and in a boring day, seeing how this person played, he could pass the time.
"It's soap."
Soap?
Shi Yiwen's fingers moved slightly, and he thought in his heart.
Could it be that this guy wants to use soap to slap himself?
"Childe Xing should know that this soap is a new thing, and only the Unity Factory can make it, this is a unique business, except for the Unity Soap Factory, there is no semicolon......"
"Indeed."
Shi Yiwen nodded.
"I don't know, what do you think?"
"Thoughts, hey, Childe, in fact, there are some ideas below, I don't know if Childe knows, how this soap is made?"
Wu Cai looked at Shi Yiwen and asked rhetorically.
"Do you know?"
Although the young master hadn't reacted yet, Xiao Pian, who was standing aside, almost didn't laugh out loud, didn't this person know that soap was invented by the young master?
Now Xiao Lian finally knows that the young master is idle and is here to tease this person.
The other party's surprise made Wu Cai proud.
"Yes!"
Then he shook his head,
"But I don't know!"
"Oh? Why is that? ”
Looking at Wu Cai curiously, Shi Yiwen was curious about what he wanted to do next.
"That's right, Childe, I know a few workers in the Unity Soap Factory, although I don't know the formula of soap, but from what they said, I can understand some of it, and the soap is not complicated to make, the raw materials are nothing more than lard, butter and soybean oil, and then add other things......"
Wu Cai, who talked eloquently, was not deceiving Shi Yiwen, he did know a few workers in the factory, and also learned about some soap production processes.
"Childe doesn't know, although the formula of soap seems mysterious, but in the next view, it is actually full of loopholes, after all, there are too many people involved, as long as Childe is willing to take a hundred taels of silver out, I guarantee that I can help Childe find out the formula of soap, and when the time comes, Childe will pay for a factory......"
Without waiting for Wu Cai to finish speaking, Xiao Lian, who had been standing beside the young master, couldn't help but laugh.
"You, you man...... It's really interesting. ”
Xiao Yahuan's laughter surprised Wu Cai for a while, and before he could react, he heard Xiao Lian say.
"You don't even inquire about it, who is the soap factory, and is actually persuading the owner to steal his own things."
What the!
Looking at the son in front of him, Wu Cai was surprised.
"Then the Unity Soap Factory is yours?"
After taking a sip of tea, Shi Yiwen nodded with a smile and a word.
"Oh, that's in the next can be regarded as finding the main master, the son doesn't know, your factory has too many loopholes, in the next is just a little inquiry, if others have a heart, as long as a little scrutiny, you can steal the secret recipe of soap."
Although he was talking about stealing things from the main owner just now, Wu Cai didn't feel embarrassed at all, and even beat the snake, turned the conversation around, and reminded Shi Yiwen in a serious tone, reminding him to pay attention to secrecy.
"So, I'm going to thank you?"
I've seen a thick-skinned person, but Shi Yiwen has never seen such a shameless person, he is not angry and laughs, and he is curious.
"It's all here, why are you still sitting here and not leaving?"
"Let's go?"
Wu Cai was surprised.
"Why are you leaving, isn't it, the food hasn't come up yet? It's not afraid of the child's jokes, but I haven't tasted meat for a few days. Besides......"
Looking at the son in front of him, Wu Cai smiled.
"We haven't negotiated business yet, have we?"
