Chapter Twenty-Seven: Liang Million's Calculations
Youzhou Zhisuo-Jixian County, south of the city, in a tall and luxurious courtyard, the local No. 1 tycoon Liang Million is drinking and having fun in his own garden, a pale cyan robe looks gentle and elegant, and the tiger's mouth on his right hand is covered with thick calluses, it can be seen that this Liang family master is not an ordinary businessman who has no power to tie the chicken, his waist is still straight, his eyes are as sharp as a knife, no matter how he looks, he can't feel that this is an old man who is over fifty years old.
The wine is a good wine, into the throat like a knife, sweet and cold, to the stomach and turned into a burst of warmth, making people very comfortable, there is a beautiful wine jar on the table, and the red label clearly says three big words--- no worries about wine!
The red charcoal fire on the side is booming, a fat and tender lamb cake is rolling and grilling on it, from time to time there is a rich fat falling, causing bursts of light blue flames, looking at the reddish face and sweaty temples of the head of the Liang family, obviously have drunk a lot, and the two beautiful young maids on the side add meat to him from time to time, pour wine, and feel like a fairy in the gods......
Spirits, Fat Sheep, Mei Ji; This is Liang Million's daily life, on the surface, I don't know how many men I envy to death, and the real taste in it, hehe! If a person drinks water, he knows how warm and cold he is!
In this era when people live for fifty and die young, it stands to reason that at Liang Million's age, he should have eaten vegetarian and drunk tea to maintain his health, but he can't, the Liang family has no successors, although there are many sons, but none of them can support this huge family business in this cunning and troubled world, so he wants to use spirits and fat sheep to declare to everyone that his body is still strong and his fighting spirit is still high; Because Liang Million knew deeply that as long as he showed a trace of fatigue, then the other powerful clans would pounce on him like a pack of wild dogs, leaving the Liang family with no scum left......
The rules in the Liang Mansion are very large, when the head of the house drinks alone, including his wife, concubines and children, no one is allowed to disturb easily, but there is one exception, an old figure walked in from outside the courtyard gate, and the four heavily armed guards at the door did not stop him at all, because they all knew that this old man in his sixties was Liang Million's number one henchman, and --- Cui Laifu, who was also the chief housekeeper of Liang Mansion.
No one knows the true origin of Steward Cui, but he grew up in the Liang family since he was a child, a few years older than Liang Million, and has been running around for the Liang family's business all his life, which can be described as loyal, it can be said that half of the Liang family's current business is topped up by Cui Laifu, so that in private Liang Million calls him brother, and those young masters and young ladies who usually have eyes above the top also respectfully call Cui Bo when they see him!
Quickly came to Liang Million, shaved a letter, the opening of the letter had been opened, obviously he had read it in advance, and in the huge Liang Mansion, I am afraid that he is the only one who dares to open a letter privately.
did not answer the letter, but motioned to Steward Cui to sit down first, and then poured a glass of wine himself, and then Liang Million said: "What did Lao Jiu's letter say? Did you agree to my terms? ”
"Back to the master, the ninth young master refuses to agree to your request for the production method of 'Wuwu Wine'", after a pause, Steward Cui continued: "The ninth young master also said that the recipe for 'Wu Worry Wine' was given to him by the young man named Xiao Yi, out of the reputation of a businessman, he can't betray his partner, and out of trust between friends, he will not betray his friends. If you want to punish him, he will come back in the future to confess, but he will never hand over the secret recipe without the approval of that friend. ”
It turned out that when Steward Cui brought back Liang Xiaoyu's filial piety - dozens of jars of 'worry-free wine', Liang Million didn't care at first, he was the largest wine merchant in Youzhou, he had never seen any fine wine, and he had never drunk any fine wine, but it was his son's filial piety, so he drank a glass at will...... Then, he immediately issued an order to his son, and sent someone to send it to the Crouching Tiger Pavilion as soon as possible, asking for the secret recipe for making wine. That's why Liang Xiaoyu replied.
"Good! Very good! This little fish has finally grown up! Liang Million, who thought he would be furious, said such a sentence unexpectedly after his face turned from white to black, then from black to yellow, and finally to red again.
"Businessmen are based on integrity, and men are righteous first! Xiao Yu did the right thing this time, it seems that I did the right thing when I sent him to the hardest place to hone it; But this "no worries" is a cornucopia", pointing to the wine jar on the table, Liang Million continued: "It's completely overkill to put it there for him, Fang Zi must get it, can you see if there is any way?" ”
"Back to the master, since the secret recipe is the young man surnamed Xiao, then we have to make up our minds on this person, it happens that next month is your fifty-fifth birthday, why don't you call all the young masters who are in charge of things in other places back, congratulate you on your birthday, let Xiaoyu come back too, and by the way, let him invite the friend surnamed Xiao over, as long as others arrive in Jixian County, the rest will be easy to do."
Thinking that Xiao Yi is several years younger than the Ninth Young Master, and the young people are not strong-willed, when the time comes, a lot of gold and silver treasures and beautiful ladies will be smashed, are you afraid that you won't be able to get the secret recipe in his hand? And I think this person is first-class in terms of wine-making skills and the creativity of running a restaurant, and now the Ninth Young Master's 'Wuwu Ju' business is so hot, it all depends on this person's advice, he is definitely a first-class business talent, the "Wuwu" that the master said just now is a cornucopia, I'm afraid it's not Wuwu wine, but Xiao Yi, right?
As long as he comes to Jixian County, with your means, master, are you still afraid that you won't be able to subdue a teenager? At that time, my Liang family will not only get the secret recipe but also have another boost, so killing two birds with one stone is your real idea, right? ”
"Haha! ......" Liang Million let out a hearty laugh: "There are more than 1,000 people in the entire Liang family, and only you know my mind best." patted the shoulder of the afraid manager Cui and continued: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, I also want to investigate the ability and heart of this young man surnamed Xiao, if he is really a good talent, then recruit him at all costs, cultivate it well, and in the future, he can assist the future head of the Liang family." ”
"Oh! Does the master want to take the opportunity to inspect the skills of the young masters and elect the future head of the Liang family? ”
"Yes", touched his sideburns, I don't know when a few gray hairs have grown there, Liang Million said with a little melancholy: "You and I are old, it is difficult for the Liang family to have greater development in our hands, and now it is an eventful autumn, I sent all my sons out to practice, let them fight each other, just want to use the method of raising Gu to select the strongest son, lead the Liang family to forge ahead, now is the time to harvest." ”
"The old man has a long-term vision, and the old slave admires it, so I will write a letter and tell the young masters who are all over the country to go back to Jixian County next month to celebrate the master's birthday!" After speaking, Steward Cui got up and left.
Looking at Steward Cui's back who was also old, and then looking at the reply letter in his hand, Liang Million closed his eyes and pondered for a while, finally let out a sigh of relief, smiled slightly, and casually threw the envelope into the burning charcoal fire, and at the same time pointed to the wine and meat on the table and said to the two Meiji beside him: "Quickly give me all these things and go out, and make a bowl of corn porridge for me again, remember, the porridge must be thin......"
