Chapter 8: Look away
Hearing this, Gao Ran felt a burst of anger in his heart, looking for prestige, but he was an acquaintance.
What is this Du Li doing here? His uncle and my grandfather are officials in the Tiance Mansion, so it is not good to hurt his face, and he will discuss it with him.
Thinking like this, Gao Ran arched his hand and greeted the middle-aged man in the vermilion robe and said, "Brother Du, I haven't seen you for many days, why are you interested in this soap recipe today?" ”
When Du Li saw it, he also smiled slightly, and replied: "It turned out to be Brother Gao Ran, this is polite." Truth be told, I'm a grocery store, so I'm interested in this so-called soap thing, and I have an appetite. ”
After some bargaining, Du Li insisted on talking about business, but Gao Ran couldn't, he glanced back at Chen Feng on the high platform, and left with hatred.
When others saw Du Li's price at this price, coupled with the background of the officials and businessmen behind him, no one came out to shout for a while.
Chen Feng, who was standing on a high place, naturally saw all this.
Then, seeing that no one was bidding, he said: "Then this soap secret recipe belongs to Du's miscellaneous company!" ”
A secret recipe is worth 25,000 taels of silver, which sounds like a legend.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, a bucket of rice was only sold for five or six yuan, and the annual expenditure of ordinary people was only a few taels of silver, so the 25,000 taels can almost be worth hundreds of millions of yuan today, which is really a huge amount of money.
Later, the news spread rapidly in Chang'an City as if it had grown wings.
As for the protagonists in the story, Du Li and Chen Feng are sitting in the backyard hall of Du's grocery store at this time to discuss things.
"I'm tired of Brother Chen taking this trip with me, one is that there is too much money, and it is inconvenient to deliver it in person. The two are also afraid of the petty people and take the opportunity to rob. Du Li picked up the teacup, took a sip, and greeted Chen Feng slightly.
In fact, Du Li had already sent someone to inquire about Chen Feng's details. It turned out to be an abandoned minister of the East Palace, but it would not be a big problem, maybe there would be an unexpected gain from it.
Although Du Li is only in business, and most of the assets he earns are handed over to his uncle Du Ruhui officialdom, he is also a long-sleeved and good dancing figure, and he is actually handed over to him to take care of the land and property under Du Ruhui's name.
At this time, Li Jiancheng's East Palace and Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion had not yet fallen out, but the competition in the secret was indispensable.
"It's okay, I've sent the little guy back, and a steward will come over in a while." Chen Feng replied.
"Oh, I don't know where Brother Chen lives now?"
"Not far, just five miles southeast of Chang'an City, Qin Yuanwai's house will rest for the time being."
"But Qin Tiansheng is at home outside Qin's family? Then I have heard that it is also a prosperous family in the spice business, and the hometown is very good, but I have never met. Du Li said.
"If you have the opportunity, Brother Du must come, in addition to the spices, the Qin family's self-brewed wine is also excellent, and when the time comes, you will rest when you get drunk."
The two of them were laughing, Du Li groaned slightly, leaned forward, and said, "Brother Chen's fat ...... I tried the soap a few days ago, and it worked. I don't know this kind of secret method, where did Chen Gongzi get it? ”
came, Chen Feng said in his heart, copy the family.
"But it was told to me by a wandering Taoist a while ago."
"Daoist?" Du Li was slightly stunned, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Exactly, on that day he fainted in front of the village, just so that I could see him and rescue him. This person was grateful, so he took out one side to repay me. ”
It's not that Chen Feng doesn't want to tell the truth, it's really the body he crosses, just a small official in the East Palace, who has never been known for being good at things.
So I deliberately found an excuse to prevaricate the past.
"Since there is such a secret recipe, and the Qin family is the home of the giants, why did Brother Chen take it out and sell it?"
"Alas, it's hard to put it into words...... Chen Feng told him about the trouble he suffered the day before, the rescue of Miss Qin, and the forced marriage of Gao Ran.
Among the twists and turns, Du Li also sighed when he heard it.
He gave a thumbs up again and again and exclaimed: "I can't imagine that Miss Qin has such a kind heart, Brother Chen is also a person of temperament, I can't imagine the hero saving the beauty in the storyteller's mouth, there is really such a thing!" ”
"However, the Taoist also said a way to sell it, so that the soap will sell well in the future." Chen Feng smiled awkwardly and opened the topic.
Du Li was interested when he heard it, "I would like to hear about it." ”
Chen Feng came one by one, and Du Li's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he applauded continuously.
Not long after, the second housekeeper of the Qin family came with more than a dozen servants, and Du Li asked him to go to the account room to take out a lot of silver taels and hand them over to Chen Feng.
Not only that, Du Li also generously paid an extra 5,000 taels, which was regarded as Chen Feng's remuneration for advice.
"Brother Chen, please come over tomorrow, and we'll discuss it again."
"Okay." Chen Feng's face was calm, and he didn't see the ecstasy of huge wealth, but in his heart, he was very pleased with Du Li's move, and now the Qin family's urgent need could be solved!
Then he turned around, smiled indifferently, and gave up his hands to Du Li, Chen Feng and his party packed up and turned back to Qinjiazhuang.
But it was said that in Qinjiazhuang, Qin Tiansheng was dusty, and he had just entered the house, but he saw Qin Sushan and a group of uncles in the second and third rooms waiting anxiously, looking like they wanted to wear it.
"Alas...... You don't have to wait for me here, it's really hard to describe this trip south. He was slightly stunned before he sighed for a long time. This time I went out, those relatives who were good friends on weekdays said that they would not borrow money for anything, and they were so good to them in vain on weekdays, they were really blind and raised a group of Zhongshan wolves! ”
He was so angry that he threw his hat on the chair.
"Grandpa, don't be angry, it's been a hard journey for such a long time," Qin Sushan came up, first comforted, and then said a little embarrassed: "Grandpa, don't worry, Chen Gongzi said that he has raised enough funds, we were not waiting for grandpa before, but we were waiting for Chen Gongzi to come back." ”
"But don't worry, I'm going to Chang'an City today, and there are still a few old friends I knew in the past." Qin Tiansheng was still talking to himself, some information came into his mind, and suddenly he was stunned, and it took a long time to react and say, "Su Shan, what did you say?" Chen Feng? Did he really raise money? ”
"Yes, an hour ago he sent someone to say that he had raised enough money, and he just asked someone to pick him up. At this time, I am afraid that I am also on the way back. Qin Sushan replied.
Qin Tiansheng's face was stunned, and when he looked around, everyone else also bowed their heads and said yes.
The words came from the mouth of his most doting granddaughter, and with the sparkling mouths of the others, he couldn't help but believe it.
It just so happened that before he came back, Chen Feng's news came, and the Qin family couldn't sit still anymore, in just a few days, twenty-five thousand taels,
Whether it's true or not, it's worth looking forward to.
Therefore, a group of people were waiting here, but they were not waiting for him Qin Tiansheng.
Even if he has been in business for half his life, it is difficult for him to turn his head all of a sudden, this kid who boasted about Haikou in front of the Gao family's father and son that day really got things done?
Do you look at people and lose your eyes?
