Chapter 67 The water in Yaowan Town is too deep
In the morning, Li Fugui instructed his men to deliver a batch of silk to a silk village in Yaowan Town, and the shopkeeper counted a silver ticket to Li Fugui, Li Fugui just glanced at it and put the silver ticket into his arms and left the silk village with his subordinates, seeing that the direction of his carriage was Kang Damao's Kang Jing Shengshi porcelain shop.
Li Fugui got out of the carriage and walked straight to the porcelain shop, at this time, the acting shopkeeper Xiaohua was looking down at the tea house behind the partition in the store, looking down at the accounts, and there were naturally clerks in front of the store to deal with it, and she would not personally negotiate the order as the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, there is a guest outside who has taken a fancy to a few pieces of precious porcelain, worth five thousand taels, do you want to go out and take a look?" The guy walked into the teahouse, leaned over and whispered beside Xiaohua.
Of course, she has to personally check the transaction of five thousand taels of silver, Xiaohua immediately covered the account book and got up and walked out of the partition, at this moment, the guest opposite was looking at herself with a smile, and Xiaohua had a trace of doubt in her heart?
"Flower shopkeeper, long admired the name!" Li Fugui said with a smile as he clasped his fists with both hands.
Flower shopkeeper? Xiaohua wanted to laugh inexplicably, after she arrived in Yaowan Town, everyone here called her that, and she gladly accepted it.
Xiaohua is now a celebrity in Yaowan Town, others prefer to call her a strange woman, she combines beauty, temperament, and talent, just ask which man does not fall when he sees it, Li Fugui sees Xiaohua in his heart for the first time, he really envies Kang Damao's brother, and I don't know what means he used to make such a beautiful woman willing to be the shopkeeper for him, and he is so conscientious.
"Under Li Fugui...... Li Fugui looked at Xiaohua's slightly frowning expression, afraid that the other party would misunderstand, and hurriedly explained, but he was interrupted by Xiaohua in the middle of his words.
"It turned out to be Boss Li, fortunately! Fortunately! Xiaohua immediately showed a smile on her face, and said politely, but her attitude was very sincere, much more enthusiastic than before, and it could be seen that it was from the heart.
"Oh? You know me? Now it's Li Fugui's turn to be puzzled.
"I often hear Da Mao mention you, the house we live in Zhenjiang Mansion is still sold by you, and the precious silk sent a few days ago, thank you so much!" Xiaohua immediately greeted enthusiastically, Xiaohua is also very good at being a person, in fact, Kang Damao only occasionally mentioned this Li Fugui, Xiaohua is so enthusiastic is also to give the other party.
Li Fugui was really useful when he heard this, he was happy, it seems that his relationship with Kang Damao has improved a little, he has not worked in vain, this time he came to Yaowan Town for a meeting and delivered goods by the way, it is the right thing to do, and it is really an unexpected joy to meet Xiao Feilong, the fourth master of the Cao Gang.
"You're welcome! Brother Mao and I are also good brothers, today I came to the store to choose a few pieces of porcelain to send to friends, just these few pieces have been selected just now, pack them up, and put them in the carriage. Li Fugui took out a silver ticket as he spoke, exactly five thousand taels, and he didn't even pay the counter-offer directly.
Xiaohua wanted to collect less silver and only take the cost price, but was rejected by Li Fugui, in Li Fugui's words: "I am not happy if you lower the price, and the price of the things you send to friends can't be too low." ”
Xiaohua thought about it and felt a little reasonable, so she didn't postpone it anymore, but she was very unhappy when she thought that people had sent so many precious silks before, and finally sent a fairly expensive snuffbox to Li Fugui to play with, and the other party accepted it happily.
"Look at you, I don't know how to thank you for sending those precious silks to Damao and taking care of our business so much, I have time to go to the house and sit down, and let Damao accompany you to drink two cups." Xiaohua said politely, when it came to drinking, she muttered a little in her heart, and I don't know if Kang Damao drank too much that day with this Boss Li?
"Don't say it, I'm really going to the house later, I'll talk to Brother Damao about something." Li Fugui answered.
Forehead? Xiaohua just said that out of politeness, she didn't expect the other party to really go, since there was something to discuss, then she naturally couldn't refuse.
"I'll take you there, it's not far, it's a short walk away." Xiaohua and the guys in the store gave a few words of advice, and then led Li Fugui back to Kangfu.
On the way, the two chatted a few more words, and Li Fugui muttered in his heart as he spoke, I heard her call Da Mao's brother Da Mao just now? It seems that the relationship between the two of them is not ordinary, I said how could such a legendary strange woman be willing and work hard, it turned out that she had already been taken down by my brother, Li Fugui also gossiped in his heart.
After seeing Kang Damao, Li Fugui explained his intention, it turned out that he came here to resign, seeing the New Year, he had to rush back to Yangzhou and Hangzhou, and there were still many things to deal with, and now his business was big enough, there were too many things to deal with a year ago, otherwise he really wanted to stay more time and talk to Kang Damao.
Kang Damao asked Xiaohua to order the kitchen to make a table of good dishes, and drank a few glasses with Li Fugui at noon, and Li Fugui whispered to Kang Damao at the wine table that the Chamber of Commerce of Yaowan Town found him to talk about silk smuggling, although he didn't say it explicitly, but he could hear that this was what it meant.
These guys are becoming more and more arrogant now, and they are so blatant in pulling people to do smuggling, Kang Damao hurriedly asked: "Brother Li, you didn't promise them, did you?" ”
"Of course I didn't agree, I just found an excuse to prevaricate, all of them are dead, where do I dare to mix blindly, no matter how big the profit is, I have to spend my life, and it's a matter of losing my head, so I have to leave quickly, I don't want to wade into this troubled water." Li Fugui whispered that his success was not accidental, and it did not depend on understanding current affairs.
Kang Damao only understood when he heard this, it turned out that Li Fugui went back to deal with business only on the surface, he wanted to escape from this place of right and wrong, and he was really a person who understood, so he understood Kang Damao.
Bidding farewell to Li Fugui, Kang Damao received a message that night, Jiang Shancun, a tycoon in the capital, also returned to the capital, and left directly without saying hello to anyone.
The water in Yaowan Town is too deep, the rich merchants in the south and the giants in the north can't show their fists and feet here, not to mention Kang Damao, who he has just arrived, it seems that he has to go out to avoid it, these smuggling guys don't target themselves, now the situation is a little complicated, since he learned that Jingguan was assassinated, he temporarily dispelled the idea of mixing in with them, and now he has to stay away, not to provoke the fire, rather than they to find it, it is better to flash people first, thinking about Kang Damao made up his mind.
That night, Kang Damao wrote a letter and sent Erhu to secretly send it to Shen Luojun's house, one is to inform Shen Luojun that the Chamber of Commerce has recently been recruiting powerful merchants in Yaowan Town to join the smuggling, so that Shen Luojun has the psychological preparation to take precautions in advance, and the other is that the two agreed to leave Yaowan Town temporarily and see each other in Yangzhou City seven days later.
The next day, Kang Damao asked Linglong and Erhu to pack their luggage simply, he wanted to take the two of them back to Luohe's hometown to visit their parents, thinking that since the last time I said goodbye to my mother and hadn't seen him for a long time, Kang Damao really missed it, and he didn't even have time to miss it when he was busy with business on weekdays, and now he had the opportunity to go back and see it before the year.
After the two packed their luggage, Kang Damao went to the porcelain shop to see Xiaohua again, and he completely let go of the porcelain shop in Yaowan Town and handed it over to Xiaohua, asking her not to have any contact with the people of the Yaowan Town Chamber of Commerce recently, in case the other party came to the door and only said that the owner was not there, and the rest of the things were pushed away.
Xiaohua looked at the Erhu and Linglong behind Kang Damao who could follow her back to Luohe's hometown, which made her a little envious, but she also understood that there were some things that could not be forced, and she would be content if she could take charge of two homes and two shops for Kang Damao, what she had to do now was to continue to strengthen herself and let the man in front of her know her importance, in fact, she wanted to enter Kang Damao's heart.
After the explanation, Kang Damao took Erhu and Linglong to board the boat, went south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and after arriving at the northern section of Weishan Lake, turned around and went west along the waterway south of Tangma Town, and went straight to Luohe Kang's house.
In this way, the boat does not go directly to the water channel of Luohe Kangdian, the carriage detours not to mention the bumps, and is used to the waterway, and is used to the boat, Kang Damao really does not want to take the carriage, often runs on the water, they are naturally much more comfortable in the boat, and can also enjoy the scenery along the way and the economic outlook on both sides of the strait, which can be regarded as an indirect investigation of the market.
After two days and one night of water travel, Kang Damao finally arrived at Luohe Kangdian Kang Million Manor.
It is not the first time that Linglong and Erhu have seen Kang Damao's parents, especially Linglong, after the last communication between Kang's mother, they naturally lost the restraint they had when they first came, and several people sat at a table and chatted while eating.
Kang's mother Zhu has been staring at Linglong, the more she looks at it, the more she loves it, until she blushes at Linglong and doesn't react, her love is revealed from the bottom of her heart, and Linglong's heart is even more beautiful.
After eating, Linglong deliberately took out the gift she had bought before and gave it to Zhu, but Zhu was very happy, and then she took out another gift that was actually given to Rehabilitation Ji, and Rehabilitation Ji was naturally very useful, although he didn't know the identity of Linglong's daughter's family.
At this time, Erhu was embarrassed on the side, he came to rub the rice empty-handed, and when he saw the little dragon in front of him so good at patting the fart, he muttered in a depressed mouth: "Sycophant!" ”
happened to be heard by Linglong, Linglong made a gesture to kick him, so frightened that Erhu hurriedly flashed behind Kang Damao, Kang Damao shook his head and was speechless, these two guys know how to fight all day long.
"Stinky boy, don't make a fuss here, go home and see your father, take it, buy some New Year's goods for the second elder, and say hello to them for me." Kang Damao said and stretched out his hand to throw a bag of silver to Erhu, which he had prepared a long time ago, and this time he deliberately brought Erhu back to let him also go back to honor his father and mother.
Erhu took a bag of silver into his arms, bowed, and ran away happily.
