Chapter 197: A Superior Gift
In the Yuxiwa Wang San Mazi Restaurant, Zheng Rongtai ordered a table full of big fish and meat, but he couldn't eat it, but looked at the table full of fish and swallowed saliva, and muttered in his mouth: "I won't live for five years!" Less than five years to live! ”
Zheng Rongtai watched for a quarter of an hour, and finally waved his hand in great pain, and several bartenders removed the dishes like flowing water, leaving only a few plates of side dishes and two pots of wine. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"No one wants to eat with me lately!"
Zheng Rongtai groaned in pain: "The imperial doctor said that if my weight rebounds, I will not live for five years, and I will have to endure it if I want to eat again, so I have to wronged my virtuous brother." ”
Li Yanqing looked at the plates of side dishes in front of him, braised beans, stir-fried vegetables, pickled dried radish, and a plate of scrambled eggs could barely be regarded as small meat, his eyes were a little straight, no wonder no one wanted to eat with him, is this called wine and food?
"Just eat this, can you stand it?" Li Yanqing asked with doubts in his eyes.
"I want to eat another roasted winter melon when I go home, my mother found that winter melon can indeed lose weight, so she asked the chef to make winter melon for me every day.
Li Yanqing was helpless in his heart, where to eat enough, he had to buy snacks again when he went back.
"It's good to have wine!"
Li Yanqing poured him full of wine with a smile, "A good way to lose weight is not only to flutter in the water, but also to ride a horse, your current weight should be able to ride a horse, ride a horse in the morning, flutter in the water in the afternoon, persist for a month, you can lose another twenty pounds." ”
"Can you really lose twenty pounds?" Zheng Rongtai's small eyes burst out with surprise.
"Didn't the weight loss advice I gave you already work?"
Zheng Rongtai was silent for a moment, slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll start riding a horse early tomorrow morning!" ”
The two drank a few glasses of wine, Zheng Rongtai began to get lively, and he asked in a low voice: "The red Wang family's rouge shop on the royal street, does the virtuous brother know?" ”
Li Yanqing's heart jumped, and he asked lightly, "Why did you mention his family?" ”
"Zhu Fenglou, Zhu's Restaurant and Wang's Rouge Shop on the Royal Street are all Zhu Mian's properties, and they have all been seized by the government, and according to the normal steps, they will soon be sold publicly, but you also know that the so-called public sale is just a superficial appearance, and the real competition is behind the scenes, I am thinking, if Baoyan Zhai can get the Wang family's rouge shop, it is really the first rouge shop in the world."
"Isn't Zhang Gu's rouge shop also on Yujie?"
"They are in the outer city of Yujie, but the Wang family's rouge shop is in the inner city of Yujie, the two are not the same thing at all, how about it, are you interested?"
"What if I'm interested, do you have a way?"
Zheng Rongtai looked to both sides, and his voice was lowered, "Do you remember Sun Daya who I introduced to you last time?" He told me yesterday that 50,000 yuan could take down the Wang family's rouge shop. ”
Li Yanqing shook his head, "How can I get 50,000 yuan, and let alone so many powerful people staring at these three shops, can it be my turn?" Your Zheng family is pretty much the same. ”
"Our Zheng family actually wants that restaurant, covering an area of three acres of land, worth at least 100,000 yuan, and now the problem is that we can't take our turn to come up with money, I heard that Xiang Jia named that restaurant."
The Xiang family is the maiden family of the Empress Dowager Xiang, and it is the most powerful relative in the court, although the Zheng family is also considered a royal family, but the power and favor are far inferior to the Xiang family.
"What about Zhu Fenglou?" Li Yanqing asked again: "Who got it?" ”
"Gao Yanei said that their family is bound to win, and it is said that Liang Shicheng's fake son is also interested, and I don't know who will end up with the flowers."
Li Yanqing saw Zheng Rongtai's regretful face, so he smiled and said, "I still want to ask you for a favor!" ”
Zheng Rongtai perked up and said, "Do you want the Wang family's rouge shop?" ”
"It's not! Your grandfather's birthday ....... the day after tomorrow"
Li Yanqing whispered a few words to Zheng Rongtai, Zheng Rongtai thought for a while and said: "My uncle is responsible for this matter, but he loves me very much, I'll go and tell him, I don't think it's a big problem." ”
Speaking of this, Zheng Rongtai laughed, "If I tell my uncle that I lost weight is entirely due to you, he will definitely be grateful." ”
Li Yanqing is not worried about Zheng Fatzi's work, this kind of thing is more secure to control it himself.
"Or.... I'll go with you to talk to the uncle? ”
"Okay, let's drink this pot of wine and go."
........
Li Yanqing doesn't pay much attention to the red dyeing of the royal family's rouge shop on Yujie, if Zhao Kai gives it to him, he will gladly accept it, this is the reward he deserves, if Zhao Kai doesn't give it to him, he doesn't care, Zhao Kai still owes him a favor, and he never has too high expectations for this kind of thing that he can't control.
On the contrary, Li Yanqing is very active about the 70th birthday of the old man of the Zheng family, and he can control and win this matter.
Zheng Rongtai's uncle is named Zheng Yin, who inherited the unique posture and appearance of the Zheng family's males, with a fat body and small mung bean eyes.
Zheng Yin was currently the largest spice merchant in the Song Dynasty, and he was granted a concession by the government, and he had large warehouses in Quanzhou and Mingzhou, as well as a fleet of spices that went to sea to buy and transport spices to the South Seas.
Nearly fifty percent of the spices in the Great Song Dynasty were monopolized by him, and the spice bureau of the palace basically bought spices from him.
Perhaps because of his obesity, Zheng Yin could not have children despite his wives and concubines, and he could only regard his nephew Zheng Rongtai as his heir.
Zheng Yin was quite polite to Li Yanqing, on the one hand, Li Yanqing is Xiangzhou Xie Yuan, too learned to give up his life, as a Xiangzhou person, Zheng Yin will more or less respect these Xiangzhou children who are excellent and excellent.
On the other hand, he is looking at his nephew's face, his nephew's weight loss effect in the past two months has been remarkable, and it is said that it is Li Yanqing's plan, which makes Zheng Yin quite grateful, at least Li Yanqing is his nephew's real friend, not those fox friends who encourage his nephew to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble all day long.
Zheng Yin heard that Li Yanqing was the young proprietor of Baoyanzhai, and he was quite surprised, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Baoyanzhai was made by our Xiangzhou people, I heard about it in Quanzhou, and those big food merchants can be scolded so badly!" ”
"Does Sebo mean perfume?"
"Not really! The big food rose water sells so much in our big song, those big food merchants can make money, but Bao Yanzhai's perfume came out, and immediately robbed half of their business, you should make it bigger and open the store to the south, so that a bottle of perfume for those dogs can't be sold. ”
"I thought so! It's just that Baoyanzhai's fame has just come out, and the cost is limited, so the store can't keep up, so you have to take your time, and this year is ready to open stores in Xiangzhou, Nanjing, Xijing and Hangzhou, and Quanzhou will go to next year at the earliest. ”
"It's better to open a store in Xiangzhou than to open a store in the Daimyo Mansion, the Daimyo Mansion covers the entire Hebei Road, and Xiangzhou only has a part of Hebei West Road, and the effect is far behind."
"It's a fellow Tangyin villager who wants to open it."
Zheng Yin gently 'Oh! "But even fellow villagers should open a store in the Daimyo's Mansion, otherwise, you will have to open a second store in Hebei." ”
Li Yanqing couldn't help but secretly admire this Zheng Shibo's vision, so he nodded, "Thank you Shibo for reminding me, I'll go back and write a letter, suggesting that the store be opened in the Daimyo's Mansion." ”
At this time, Zheng Rongtai said on the side: "Uncle, Yanqing has something to ask Uncle for help." ”
Zheng Rongtai said Li Yanqing's thoughts, Zheng Yin's eyes narrowed, this young man is very powerful! The mind is so nimble and very good at seizing opportunities, it's just a little late.
He thought for a while and said: "Grandfather Tai'er's seventieth birthday is indeed to return the gift to the guests, but I have already booked the agarwood for the female guest, and the male guest is the four treasures of Zhang Linglong's shop, I'm afraid it's a little too late to change it now." ”
Agarwood is the most precious incense in Bianjing, a piece of agarwood will be sold for ten taels of silver, Zhang Linglong's four treasures of the study are also the top goods in Bianjing, a box of 20 yuan, the Zheng family is generous, and the return gift to the guests alone will cost nearly 20,000 yuan.
Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Isn't it too polite!" You don't need to change it, just add a gift to the female guest. ”
Speaking of this, he took out a gift box from Baoyan Zhai and handed it to Zheng Yin, "Shibo, please take a look first." ”
Bao Yan Zhai's gift box is made of nanmu, from the famous Cao Ji carpenter shop in Beijing, the workmanship is very exquisite, and the outside is made of high-quality soil paint. The black light is shiny, the middle of the lid is painted with gold and flowers, and the thin gold body is engraved with the three words "Bao Yan Zhai" in the middle, but it is not the handwriting of the Son of Heaven.
This is very particular, although the thin gold body was created by the Son of Heaven, but not just anyone can use it, at least with the tacit approval of the Son of Heaven, Zheng Yin immediately saw the clue, pointed to the name of the store and asked: "This is a thin gold body, can it be used?" ”
Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Our store sign is written by the Son of Heaven himself. ”
Zheng Yin nodded and didn't speak, he opened the box, which was padded with silk and satin, divided into four or five small grids, this is actually a fat powder box, almost every woman has it, but the workmanship is so exquisite, it is relatively rare, this box itself is worth the same money, and there are Bao Yan Zhai's rouge, perfume, fragrant ink, foundation, incense cake, eyebrow pencil, and mirror neatly placed inside.
At this time, Zheng Yin suddenly found that there was a small wooden box inside, which was also quite exquisitely made, with the word 'jade fat' written on it, and he asked curiously, "What is this?" ”
"This is jade fat, unique in the world."
'Unique in the world?' Zheng Yin was puzzled, he opened the small box, and inside it turned out to be a round cake-shaped white jade, snow-white and delicate, pleasing to the eye.
Zheng Yin was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't this balsam?" ”
Li Yanqing said with a smile: "It's not an ordinary balm, Shibo knows it when you use it, and it's the same as the use of balm, and you can usually put it in a box." ”
"Quick! Help me up. ”
Zheng Yin's heart was full of curiosity, and he hurriedly asked the maids on both sides to help him go to the bathroom, at this time, Zheng Rongtai said in a low voice: "Is there still this fat powder box, I want to give my mother one." ”
"I have one more in my sack, I'll give it to you."
After a moment, I saw Zheng Yin walk out with a refreshing face, and laughed: "Good thing! Sure enough, it is unique in the world, and it is the first time I use it, and I order 500 sets of your rouge boxes, and there must be jade grease in each box. ”
Five hundred sets is 5,000 yuan, and the Zheng family made a generous move, making the rouge shop make a lot of money, but Li Yanqing was a little worried, did they have 500 pieces of soap at the bottom?
