Yang Chong didn't go out for a day, and while he was busy at home, he waited for Feng Qiqi. Yang Chong began to ponder about soap when he saw the honey locust tree in Taihang Mountain, and yesterday Yang Chong asked Wei Lei to go out of the city to pick two sacks of fat honey locusts, and went to buy spices in Wuzhuguan; In the evening, Yang Chong asked Yang Er to cook and mash the honey locusts, and then mixed the honey locust puree with flour and the spices he bought yesterday by himself, boiled it well, put it in two iron basins, and put it in the yard to freeze.

This morning, it was all frozen into solid soap. Yang Chong first cut a piece and washed his hands, the effect was still a certain gap with the soap of later generations, and he felt a little hurt to his hands, but the cleaning effect was not bad; Yang Chong took a piece of it and took a shower, and felt much more relaxed after coming out. Yang Chong cut another big piece and asked Wei Lei's wife to wash a few dirty clothes, the stain removal effect is better than that of the honey locust, and more importantly, there is a faint fragrance in the soap, which makes Wei Lei's wife feel more inclined to soap.

Yang Chong made up his mind on the spot, this simple soap is used first, and it is not bad to take a bath without washing clothes; Yuwenhu received Yang Chong's notice and rushed over at noon, Feng Qiquan and Shuai Guo really arrived in the afternoon. Feng Qiquan doesn't look like a bit of Dao bone fairy style, nine feet long, dignified, but a bit of a Buddhist King Kong posture, a pair of eyes under thick eyebrows, and a beard; The robe was patched one after another, and the royal blue was almost washed away, and there was a feeling that the dust could not be dusted. The two brought a box of gifts of Louguan's self-produced intermittent ointment, salvia ointment, and serpentine ointment, which are very famous and marketable in Chang'an.

Yang Chong happily accepted it and immediately ordered Yang Lei to serve the food. The menu was arranged by Yang Chong, and even many of the cooking methods were proposed by Yang Chong, eight vegetarian dishes: mapo tofu roasted in dogwood sauce, stir-fried kohlrabi heart with shiitake mushrooms, stir-fried pickles with shredded bamboo shoots, stir-fried shallots, shepherd's cabbage buns, tofu soup, vinegared kohlrabi, braised king oyster mushrooms.

Feng Qi tasted it all over, covered up the surprise in his heart and asked, "Senior brother, which chef is in charge of your house?" ”

Yang Chong said with a smile: "This is what the junior brother ordered the kitchen to do, if the senior brother has anything to ask, just ask." ”

Feng Qiquan shook his head and said, "I originally wanted to invite your chef to go to Guanli to guide the back kitchen, but now I can't drag you, the head of the military department, to do this." Let's go public before private, take advantage of Senior Brother Shuai's here, first do what the master commands, and I'll stay here at night, and then discuss the trick with you. ”

Shuai Guo really felt very pleased, Feng Qiquan is a person who thinks about Lou Guan Dao, as soon as he says this, there are some things that Yang Chong can't shirk, if Yang Chong still has selfish intentions for the technique, he won't let Feng Qi be unable to step down. Yuwenhu snorted, and Yang Chong asked first, "I don't know what task Senior Brother brought?" ”

Feng Qiquan said calmly: "Senior brother, the master asked me to come to you, just to do business with you, now there is some spare money in the view, but we are not good at business, so I want to hear your advice." We heard about you and the Cui family, if the tea business is for us to do it, at least half of your profits will be shared in the first three years. ”

The Cui family's tea business is now in full swing, and it is said that it is a daily income, and the conditions that Yang Chong and the Cui family negotiated have also been exposed, and Yang Chong actually got only 1,000 taels of silver. Of course, the investment in the medical school is a long-term effect, and it has won Yang Chong a reputation that money can't buy, but everyone who looks at the tea business understands that Yang Chong should get much more than that.

It's just that ordinary people don't say these words, and they don't want to say them, but Feng Qiquan is Yang Chong's senior brother, it doesn't matter if he says it, even if the Cui family knows about it, he won't do anything about Feng Qiquan. Yuwenhu's face softened a little, Feng Qiquan could say such a thing, at least it was comfortable, Yang Chong was still very calm, his eyes were as clear as water, and he asked: "Is Senior Brother and Qihui in partnership with me, or is Lou Guandao giving me a partnership?" ”

"What do you mean, Lord Yang?" Although Shuai Guozhen has been presiding over Chang'an's business, he has never tried his best to do business, so he couldn't help but ask. Yang Chong explained: "If it is a private business taught by Senior Brother and Qi Hui, I will agree to it, you just need to tell me how much money you can contribute; But if it's a partnership business in Lou Guan Dao, I don't do it, I'd rather borrow high interest and do it alone. ”

Feng Qiquan immediately came to his senses and said with a smile: "Senior brother is still really experienced. I understand what you mean, you are afraid that Lou Guan Dao will restrict the expansion of products for your own interests or reasons, for example, even if the south does not do it, you will not let the Maoshan Sect interfere. Qihui has considered this situation and said that he can invest money in you, but the interest is not low, you can talk about your plan first. ”

Feng Qi's words were so straightforward, Shuai Guozhen and Yang Lei, who was standing on the side, really understood, and only then did they understand that Feng Qicheng could control Louguan's business, and it was not accidental that Yang Chong had wonderful ideas, and Shuai Guozhen thought that Zhen Xueqing couldn't see through what he said. Yang Chong pondered for a moment and said, "Senior brother, have you seen the Cui family's tea business?" ”

Feng Qi didn't know why, but he still nodded, if he hadn't seen the profits of the tea business, how could Qi Hui have partnered with Yang Chong. Yang Chong smiled and said, "I have a business similar to tea, which is also suitable for you Taoists, do you know the fragrant pancreas of the Western Regions?" ”

Shuai Guozhen and Feng Qicheng even if they have been practicing Taoism for many years, they suddenly can't calm down, the fragrant pancreas of the Western Regions is a luxury in the Great Sui, more expensive than gold, every time a merchant brings it, it is immediately taken away by the palace and the magnates, and Louguandao or the palace only gets a few pieces every time they are rewarded. Feng Qi's face became serious, and he asked seriously, "Senior brother, can you really make such a thing?" ”

Yang Chong nodded affirmatively and said: "It's almost the same, but it's more time-consuming to make, and the output is not high enough, but you have people and time in the building, which is just right." Yuwenhu almost didn't laugh, people and time are actually the most lacking, and there are slaves in the market; Besides, from south to north, which temple and which Taoist temple lack people and time. Yu Wenhu concluded that Yang Chong was starting the price, and it was completely up to Lou Guandao's plan.

Don't talk about Feng Qicheng, even Shuai Guozhen also thought of this, Shuai Guozhen coughed, Feng Qicheng smiled implicitly: "Senior brother, can you let me take a look at the finished product?" ”

Yang Chong smiled and shouted to Yang Lei to cut a square piece, Feng Qiquan and Shuai Guozhen recognized it at a glance, it was Xiang Pancreas, although it was still a little different from the things in the Western Regions, but that was not the point. Yang Chongyong asked someone to bring a basin of water and asked Shuai Guozhen and the three of them to wash their hands to experience the effect, Feng Qi finished washing his hands and sat down and said, "Senior brother, the foolish brother has taken it, no wonder Senior Brother Yuwen picked you." I did this business with you, Senior Brother Shuai, what do you see? ”

Shuai Guozhen didn't have any scheming in this regard, and said directly: "Since Lord Yang doesn't do it with the Taoist Temple, you and Senior Brother Qihui will do it, just make money and divide the group." ”

Shuai Guozhen is the eldest disciple of Qi Hui's generation of Louguan disciples, but his personality is weak and he is not interested in teaching, so he let Qi Hui succeed; As soon as he said this, Feng Qiquan was relieved and asked Yang Chong: "How much principal do you need?" ”

Yang Chong just made a quick slap in the stomach, and said: "I am going to build a workshop, lend me 20,000 yuan, and the workshop will provide Louguan with 300 yuan of fragrant pancreas per month in the first year, 500 yuan per month in the second year, and 800 yuan per month in the third year, I will ensure that the price of the goods is half of the retail price of my store, if you can't sell it, you will return it to me." In addition, the annual interest of 2,000 yuan, if the payment is not paid back after three years, it will be paid in a lump sum, otherwise the workshop will be paid to the building. ”

How can the fragrant pancreas not be sold, Louguandao itself has more than 1,000 disciples, tens of thousands of believers, and the cost of taking the goods is half of the market; Feng Qiquan knew that Chang'an could take out 20,000 people too much, and if Yang Chong released the news, the door would be full tomorrow morning. Feng Qiquan looked at Shuai Guozhen, nodded and said: "Senior brother, let's sign the agreement first, I will bring a silver ticket of 5,000 yuan from Yonghe Village, even if it is a deposit, I will send 20,000 yuan within three days." ”
