Dr. Sun reads Confucianism, practices medicine and family affairs, visits thousands of households, and naturally does not stick to the form of drinking tea, and is thirsty, and drinking tea in large gulps is more for his spleen and stomach.

A few large mouthfuls of tea poured into the stomach, thirst disappeared, as Jia Gongzi said, "This tea is drunk, not only under the tongue, but also in the entire mouth, even the esophagus, are soaked in the sweetness of tea, a layer of fine sweat suddenly appears on the back, and fatigue disappears." ”

The common love for Pu'er tea, as well as the hobby of drinking tea, quickly eliminated the strangeness of both parties, and introduced each other again.

Jia Gongzi admits that his surname is Zhou, and he is the owner of this tea shop, so there is nothing else to say.

Dr. Sun has become a small businessman in a neighboring province, and he has come to Jiezhou to step on the point, wanting to buy some goods here.

Zhou Gongzi's tutoring is very good, and the wealth and nobility that are inadvertently revealed are not annoying, not only can he talk about some rural things with Dr. Sun, but also chat with Zhiwen and Xiaojie from time to time about childlike fun, and his speech and demeanor make people feel like a spring breeze.

After a lot of water, Dr. Sun took the lead in saying goodbye, Xu saw Zhiwen's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, Zhou Gongzi secretly made a look, and Si Cha gave Dr. Sun a hand of Qizi cake tea.

Zhiwen sighed secretly, originally he wanted to take advantage of the little friendship he had just drunk with tea, so that he could buy more tea from Zhou Gongzi.

This week, Gongzi's actions are really leaky, and he will meet friends with tea, so he will give some tea back, which not only completes the friendship, but also blocks Zhiwen's further thoughts, and does not break the local rules.

Seeing that he couldn't resign, Dr. Sun asked Zhiwen to take the tea and say goodbye.

Zhou Gongzi returned the courtesy elegantly and said goodbye with a smile.

Seeing that Zhiwen and the others had already gone away, Si Cha walked beside Zhou Gongzi and whispered: "Childe, someone from the house came to report, and then Fan Gongzi came to visit again." ”

Zhou Gongzi frowned and replied, "No, I'm going to the Chamber of Commerce to discuss matters with a few uncles." ”

"Childe, this Fan family is a big merchant in the Northland, hang him like this, okay?" Sicha was worried.

"Humph! Such a kingless and fatherless profiteer, for the sake of silver, not only sold iron tools to the outside of the fortress, but also helped the Dongyu sell the stolen goods, my Zhou family has been innocent for generations, how can it be with it. ”

If the green salt is sold to the grain merchants in northern Shanxi at the official price, they will sell it outside the Saiwai, and the profits they will get will be even richer than that of the Pujie salt merchants, which is completely to increase the strength of the other party, and this deep-seated reason is inconvenient to say.

After saying that, Zhou Gongzi suddenly smiled again: "Besides, this Fan Yongdou has not yet taken charge of the Fan family, he came to me, but he just wanted to get the full support of the Pujie Chamber of Commerce, so as to help him ascend to the position, I don't see him, how can he bear with me?" ”

"Prepare the car, I'm going to the Chamber of Commerce."

A moment later, a plain-looking carriage drove out of the alley next to the tea shop, accompanied by the sound of clattering horses' hooves, the wheels rolling, and headed towards the center of Jiezhou City.

"Oh, promise, this north wind has risen, it is the season of manganese, how can you have time to visit our two old men?" In the hall of the Chamber of Commerce, two old men were playing chess, and one of them couldn't help but joke to him when he saw Zhou Gongzi coming in.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhang." Zhou Gongzi said hello, "No matter how busy you are, you should worship the elders." ”

The two old men are the pillars of the Chamber of Commerce, and the Zhou family can take the position, thanks to the strong support of the two of them, there are people in the Fan family who are here, and they must not be able to hide their ears and eyes, so they might as well tell them generously.

At that time, the Zhang and Wang families were unwilling to cooperate with the eight families in northern Jin, headed by the Fan family, and in order to break the predicament, they fully supported their Zhou family to become the speaker of the Pujie Chamber of Commerce.

"That Fan family's concubine, called Yongdou, has come to Jiezhou again."

"Oh?" The other old man didn't raise his eyelids, and continued to play his chess, "Normal, their eight families, how many times will they not come to Jiezhou in any year, this time, how much salt has been promised to you?" ”

"The little nephew hasn't seen Fan Yongdou yet, Uncle Wang." Zhou Gongzi replied respectfully.

"Haha, I promise you to come to the Chamber of Commerce to hide Qingjing." Uncle Zhang said with a smile.

"Uncle Zhang's eyes are like torches, let you see it."

While speaking, a servant suddenly broke into the hall and reported in a panic: "Two masters, oh, Zhou Gongzi is also here, there is a son who claims to be surnamed Fan, and he can't stop him." ”

Before the words fell, laughter rang out outside the hall, "Brother Zhou, since your mansion can't find you, I thought about going to the Chamber of Commerce to have a look, but I didn't expect that luck was good, your carriage was just outside the door, don't tell me, don't blame." ”

A young man dressed in a brocade robe and full of tyrant spirit broke into the hall, and the guards next to him looked embarrassed that they wanted to stop but didn't dare to stop them.

"Alright, let's go down." Zhou Gongzi waved his hand at the guards, but he couldn't move roughly, this Fan Yongdou really couldn't stop it.

"Tsk," Fan Yongdou sighed suddenly, "Over the years, the Pu Xie Chamber of Commerce has become more and more shabby, and I haven't even knocked down decent valuable utensils all the way in, but it's a pity that I can't lose money even if I have money." ”

"Yo, the two uncles are also here. Yongdou's eyes are not good, I didn't see it just now, it's rude, it's rude. After saying that, he made a fake salute.

"Alright, don't come to that set." Uncle Zhang said angrily, "Let's talk about it, what are your chips this time?" ”

"Hehe," Fan Yongdou smiled, "Uncle Zhang, it doesn't seem like you're old to be in charge of this Chamber of Commerce, right?" ”

"You!" Uncle Zhang was so choked that he couldn't speak.

"Uncle Wang and Uncle Zhang are seniors of the Chamber of Commerce, and the opinions of the two of them are my opinions." Zhou Gongzi said coldly beside him.

"What does Brother Zhou mean?" Fan Yongdou put away his smile and asked Zhengse.

"As long as I preside over the Pujie Chamber of Commerce for one day, I won't sell a load of salt to you."

This and Wang are two old men, treacherous and cunning, unscrupulous, and have done a lot of vicious and vicious things, but in this major matter, they are highly consistent with him, and they are not used to the Fan family making enemies in order to make money, even if the salt cannot be sold, they are not willing to trade with this Fan Yongdou.

"That's not to talk about, so let's leave." Fan Yongdou didn't talk nonsense, turned around and left.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhang, this winter's production of manganese, I'm afraid you two elders will have to worry a lot." Seeing that the other party had walked out of the door, Zhou Gongzi spoke.

"Promise, as the president, you entrust me with such a big thing, which is unreasonable." Uncle Zhang laughed.

"This Fan family is so domineering, I originally planned to go to Jinmen after the beginning of spring, but now it seems that I have to go to the Dongjiang River in advance, while the sea route has not yet been frozen."

"Hey, it's difficult, we just caught Mao Shuai's line, he was killed by Yuan Du, Dongjiang Town is now torn apart, and there is one less person who can speak effectively." Uncle Wang sighed.

"It's okay, it's okay to find a few generals, southern Yunnan and southern Fujian, aren't we all running out like this? Besides, the Dongjiang River was made difficult by Yuan Du, and the islands were already extremely short of food. ”

"Although this miscanthus is not officially operated, the available amount is always not as good as salt. The little nephew went back to the house to clean up, and while it was still snowing, he went on the road as soon as possible. ”

"By the way, the tea cakes I got from Pu'er Mansion in southern Yunnan this time have a different flavor, and I will let my subordinates send some to taste with the second elder later, and say goodbye!" Zhou Gongzi saluted and said goodbye.

This Pu'er tea can be regarded as a bargaining chip for going to Dongjiang here, the price is cheap, and the military and civilians of Liaodong should like it, even if it is sold to Dongyu, it will not go out of bounds.

"Promise, don't worry, our two old bones can still be of some use, on the road and at sea, but be careful, and be careful when dealing with Qiu Ba."

Uncle Zhang confessed loudly.
