Chapter 22

How far is the distance between making up your mind to go to the capital and actually being able to get out? It has been more than a month since Princess Zhaohua Tan Weixin returned to the capital, but Ye Tao is still stuck in the chaos of Yicheng. How easy is it to get out of the way?

The second senior brother Suo Yong and the third senior brother Zhao Dazhu, who decided to go to the capital together to build the capital branch of the Ye Workshop, are both people who have become families. It is true that in this era, the wife and children of the family can only follow the things decided by the man in charge, but to move the family to a city that has never been there, all aspects that need to be prepared are meticulous and trivial. Compared to the students and apprentices who volunteered to go to the capital to become the founders of the workshop, they have more bonds and need to care about more things.

The bigger question is how much money can be transferred to the past, and how to safely transport large sums of money to the capital. Although several industries of the Ye family are quite profitable, it still cost the Ye family a lot of money to build the beautiful, comfortable and warm 9 courtyards in Qingquan Village, and even the Spring Warm House, which is rare in this era with comfort as the highest pursuit. When it was time to really use the money, several of Ye's enterprises, which had made the transfer of capital flow as precise as a gear, had a total of less than 200,000 taels of silver on the books. encountered such an embarrassing problem, so that Ye Tao really had to consider exchanging Chun Nuanju to the old man of the Qi family. However, the old man of the Qi family was very satisfied with the new courtyard designed and built by Ye Tao, and the place he finally named Zhenhai Villa, but he was not interested in Chun Nuan Ju. And the old man of the Qi family said very simply, Ye Tao wants to borrow money, no problem, everyone is an old friend, but he will never exchange anything when Ye Tao is short of money, lest others say that he is taking advantage of others.

The old man of the Qi family was very simple, but now Ye Tao was very embarrassed. Although he came from an era when borrowing was not taken seriously, all kinds of corporate loans and personal loans were flying all over the sky in the original time and space. But this day and age is not. Borrow money? If the interest rate is high, he may not be able to afford it, after all, he wants to use this fund to engage in infrastructure construction, and the cycle is very long. But the interest is low, and even like the old man Qi said, there is no need to calculate the interest, then you will owe a lot of favors. Debt of human affection is the most terrible thing in any era.

20 days after Tan Weixin left, Her Royal Highness the princess sent the shopkeeper in charge of Feng Yu Shengfang. After visiting Ye Tao, the man named Sun Xing began to officially take care of Yicheng's Fengyu fried chain store, less than half a month, Yicheng No. 2 and No. 3 stores opened, this small joint venture store made out of whim, really became a chain store. According to Sun Xing, there will probably be a chain store of abundant raw fried stores in the capital soon. But Sun Xing's arrival did not change the single problem of the recipe of Fengyu Shengfang, it seems that Sun Xing did not regard this as a problem at all, and after tossing for a while, the only food that was added to the menu was "seaweed egg skin soup".

And Sun Xing doesn't seem to be able to become a bridge of communication with Tan Weixin, because Sun Xing didn't know that his big boss was the famous Princess Zhaohua, and he only thought that he was the son of a family surnamed "Zhuo" in the capital. To be able to climb such a noble person, it is already something that Sun Xing can't imagine, although taking care of Fengyu Shengfang seems to be too small a business, but Sun Xing, who is familiar with business, soon discovered the huge development prospects of chain food enterprises. Not to mention anything else, the daily profit of only two kinds of food is comparable to that of an ordinary restaurant whose business is not very bad. Sun Xing, who used to be in charge of running a restaurant in the capital, except for harassing Ye Tao every few days to report the recent business situation to the partner of the big boss, and sending him a word to Shanghai by the way, almost devoted all his energy to the development of the only chain catering enterprise in this era. That serious and cautious attitude really made Ye Tao struggle for a while, whether to introduce the characteristics of those chain catering companies he knew to Sun Xing, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was better not to make trouble for himself for the time being.

Wait for the brothers to arrange things at home, and wait for the sales profits of IKEA and Yizhan Building to gather...... Maybe he has to wait for the interesting princess to finally can't bear to urge her to enter Beijing, and now, all Ye Tao can do is wait.

But Dai Yuege is not as calm as Ye Tao, he knows that as long as the funds arrive, as soon as Ye Tao and them arrive in the capital, the huge building complex will start immediately, although he also has to face the problem of the engineering team employees under his hand to settle down at home and decide whether to go to the capital, but the construction methods in different regions are very different in this year, Dai Yuege handed over all the chores to the deputy, and he took a few foremen to the capital to investigate the geological and hydrological situation. By the way, try to dig the corners of your peers.

Dai Yuege's wife is not in good health and has been resting in bed, so the responsibility of taking care of his "fiancée" Dai Qiuyan actually fell on Ye Tao's head. Just finished the design and production of the music box, Ye Tao's mind was thinking about what to come up with, thinking about what to come up with is the technical level of this era, or the current technical level of Ye's workshop can be made without being too shocking. At this moment, having a quiet and docile little girl like Dai Qiuyan by his side not only did not affect his thoughts, but the peaceful and joyful mood made Ye Tao's thinking extremely active. In order to reward his "fiancée" for her contribution to her thinking, Ye Tao had to tell Dai Qiuyan a story for more than an hour every day.

And every day after eating lunch and listening to Ye Tao's story, Dai Qiuyan would fall asleep with a beautiful fantasy in her head. And now, in the cool breeze of the Spring Warm House, where it seems that you can't feel the heat of summer, it is really quite comfortable to take Ye Tao's thighs as a pillow for a nap.

"Alas", when another day was about to pass like this, when Ye Tao waited for Dai Qiuyan to wake up from a full sleep and go to dinner together, he quietly entered the quiet room with a soft sigh. "If you're both 10 years older, maybe 15. Or maybe you're 10 or 15 years older than you are, and it's a wonderful scene for family. But why is it awkward now? ”

"Guan Huan!" Hearing this voice, Ye Tao happily called the visitor's name, "Why are you here?" Lost again? ”

A young man of about 20 years old came out of the shadow of the stout pillar and complained: "Where is my money so powerful? Besides, those things of yours are really valuable. Guan Huan was wearing a dark blue coarse cloth suit, with a big knife hanging from his waist, and he had a heroic young man's posture.

The name Guan Huan is very well-known in the rivers and lakes, his beautiful knife skills are among the best among the younger generation, and what makes him even more famous is his uninhibited temperament. For 10 months of the year, he traveled outside, from south to north, east and west, leaving his footprints everywhere. After running out of plates, he doesn't mind occasionally going to some dart bureaus to work for a month or two or going to some military families to teach sword skills or even nurses, but the more frequent approach is to find those corrupt officials or gentry who exploit tenants to rob the rich and help the poor.

Ye Tao would know Guan Huan, but it was an accident. Ye Tao would never have thought that his senior brother Guan Haishan was actually Guan Huan's cousin. Guan Huan came to Yicheng, and after meeting his cousin, he was unexpectedly attracted by all kinds of small things in Ye's workshop, and came to ask Ye Tao from time to time about the principles and usage of various things, which actually made the two become friends. When Guan Huan was finally leaving, Ye Tao originally wanted to send a sum of money, but Guan Huan was embarrassed to ask for it. In the end, Guan Huan took away the woodcut samples made for the stone carving of Qi Zhentao's mansion of the old man Qi: Ten Miles of Smoke and Waves. made this set of woodcuts into panes and took them to the capital to sell, and finally got a pretty good price, which was Guan Huan's handwriting.

"I'm from Old Man Qi, and Old Man asked you to come over for dinner. Like something. How? Do you want to bring your little wife? Guan Huan obviously also likes the smooth and bright mirror-painted floor, and after learning from Ye Tao, he sat on the floor so loudly, not even a cushion.

"Did the old man say something was wrong?" Ye Tao has been really afraid of seeing Old Man Qi recently. When he learned that Ye Tao was going to the capital to develop, Qi Zhentao's attitude seemed to become a little strange. He never said a word of support, but he never said anything that disappointed, let alone doubted whether Ye Tao would be able to gain a firm foothold among the powerful people when he arrived in the capital, but he showed that he wanted to partner with Ye Tao to do something.

With Ye Tao, what can Ye Tao's capital do in partnership with Qi Zhentao? Ye Tao didn't know the bottom in his heart, he knew that Qi Zhentao valued himself, but the more this was the case, the more uneasy Ye Tao, who didn't want to take advantage of others, became. Before he figured it out, he felt that it was better to keep a certain distance from Old Man Qi.

Guan Huan shrugged his shoulders and said, "God knows." Old Man Qi looked very happy. Just go eat him for a meal. At least today there are fresh sharks to make soup and eat meat. ”

If Guan Huan hadn't mentioned fresh sharks, then Ye Tao might have to push it off in every possible way, but at the moment of food, Ye Tao would not be so restrained. Old Man Qi didn't want to eat himself, at most he asked to understand what was going on. And fresh sharks, that's not something to eat all year round, Old Man Qi has been crisscrossing the sea for decades, and he himself remembers eating fresh sharks not many times. You know, there is no tank that can feed sharks for a long time, and the larger sharks that are caught die almost in minutes, and the sharks that eat sharks at sea, there is no seasoning and no chef who can make the meat taste enough, which is really a bit of a tyrannical thing.
