Chapter 469 - Gotta Temper Their Appetites

In the private room that Cao Shuo used to enter every time he came, the wall on the side facing inside had been opened, and it was replaced by a beaded curtain hanging down.

Through the beaded curtain, you can see any movement on the first floor of the platform.

Several guards entered the private room and stood in several corners, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

When designing a private room, the steward must have taken into account that it could not be connected to other private rooms.

Although they could see the high platform on the lower floor, the other private rooms couldn't see anything about them.

After sitting in the private room for a while, there was a knock on the door outside.

One of the guards stepped forward and opened the door.

The fat woman with the dancer in Lingyun Pavilion walked in with a smile on her face.

She leaned over and said to Cao Shuo: "I brought all the girls that Gongzi wanted!" ”

The fat woman has a bloated body, and her posture is particularly funny when she salutes.

Cao Shuo waved his hand: "You go down first." ”

The fat woman answered and explained to a few women: "Good life is waiting." ”

She retreated, and Cao Shuo said to a few guards: "What are you still doing in a daze, two of you are in a group, take the woman you fancy to the warm pavilion and have a good time!" ”

The guards were a little embarrassed, and no one stepped forward.

Cao Shuo said again: "What? Still shy? ”

"You two go first!" Pointing to the two guards, Cao Shuo commanded.

"Childe...... This ......" one of the guards said embarrassedly, "we are gone, who is here to take care of us?" ”

"Said a team of two." Cao Shuo said: "Things here haven't started yet, and when you're all done, maybe they haven't been sold yet." ”

"Why don't you go soon?" He said to the two guards, "If you two don't go, let someone else go first." ”

The two guards responded, and each picked a woman to take out of the private room.

"We're all men." Cao Shuo said to the other guards: "I have never objected to you finding women, but you must remember not to indulge in them. Men have a lot to do, not just to be heroes in women's bellies. ”

"We've got it!" A few guards answered.

Cao Shuo was looking at the high platform downstairs, and someone knocked on the door outside.

The guards opened, and the steward walked in with a tray covered with a red cloth in both hands.

Holding the tray in front of Cao Shuo, the steward said, "The person sent back by Gongzi is not very clear, and I don't know what it is. However, the area around Xuzhou is rich in water jade, so I asked people to purchase some. ”

"Put it down." Cao Shuo said.

The steward placed the tray on the table.

One of the guards stepped forward to remove the red cloth that covered it.

On the tray was a crystal clear.

Picking up the crystal, Cao Shuo flipped it over and looked at it for a moment, and asked the steward, "Is this kind of thing expensive?" ”

"Hui Gongzi." The steward said: "Water jade only exists in caves, but the output is not small, and there are not many people who want this kind of thing......

"Why aren't there many people looking at such a beautiful thing?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"Childe doesn't know." The steward said: "The polishing of water jade is complicated, there is time to polish a water jade, and many jade stones can be polished, and its value is not very high, so very few craftsmen are willing to carve it." ”

"Can you find a craftsman who carves the water jade?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Yes." The steward said, "I wonder what the son wants to polish it into?" ”

"Polished into thin slices with concave and convex arcs." Cao Shuo said: "You bring a pen, and I will draw an image for you." The next time you meet Shui Yu, you will charge more. ”

"How much does Childe need?" The steward asked.

"Not a lot, either." Cao Shuo thought for a moment and said, "A hundred times more than these is enough!" All the purchased water jade is polished into thin slices by craftsmen! ”

"Don't worry, Childe, I will definitely do it properly." The steward answered.

Looking at the high platform downstairs, Cao Shuo asked, "When will it start?" ”

"In half an hour, it'll be almost." The steward said: "Actually, it can be started a long time ago, if you don't adjust the appetite of the guests, no matter how good the things are, they will not be able to sell at a high price." ”

"Half an hour." Cao Shuo smiled: "You are really a profiteer!" ”

"Thanks to the praise of the childe, I am terrified!" The steward smiled and responded.

"I'm complimenting you?" Cao Shuo asked, "What about the face?" ”

"The face is long gone!" The steward said: "Doing business to make money, the person who wants to face has long been with him!" ”

Cao Shuo laughed and said to him: "I just like you for being honest!" ”

"If you can make your son happy, my ancestors have three generations of light on their faces!" The steward answered.

"I didn't say I had no face just now." Cao Shuo asked, "Why is the face back?" ”

"Originally, it was gone, but Childe always asked, I thought the face was quite important, so I got it back." The steward replied.

"No wonder you're doing your business so well." Cao Shuo said: "No matter what you say, you can find a way to answer, it's quite rare!" ”

"Childe doesn't think I'm useless, I'm very lucky!" The steward asked, "What else does Childe want?" ”

"I'm not here to drink, but to see how you sell your treasures." Cao Shuo asked, "What are you selling today?" ”

"The things that are sold today are actually commonplace." The steward said: "It's just the wine utensils that King Liang once used, and among the treasures brought back by the prince, wine utensils like this are piled up, and the really valuable ones haven't been taken out yet." ”

"Why don't you take two valuable pieces out?" Cao Shuo asked.

"If you take out the good things too early, the guests will lose the interest in buying them, and they will not be able to sell them at a high price." The steward said, "According to what Childe said, I can sell those treasures for many times more than they can put on the market." The overwhelming land is not as good as strange goods, and there are not many rich people in Xudu, Lingyun Pavilion has built branches in other cities, and it won't take long to send some treasures to those cities to sell. My concern is not that the treasures will not sell, but that there are too few to sell! ”

"Originally, I could only use these things to raise soldiers for ten years." Cao Shuo said: "After you make such a fuss, the army will be expanded tenfold, and I can still support them for ten years." Sure enough, I didn't read the wrong person! ”

"Childe just believe me!" The steward replied.

Cao Shuo went to Lingyun Pavilion, but a guest came to Ding Yao's room.

Sitting opposite Ding Yao was Hua Tuo, who had taken Cao Shuo's pulse and diagnosed that it was impossible for him to make a woman pregnant in recent years.

"Mr. Hua Tuo, I heard Zirong say that you took the pulse for him?" Ding Yao asked, "How is the pulse?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, the child's pulse is very strange." Hua Tuo said: "I have seen countless pulses, but I have never seen such a strange pulse. ”

"What's weird?" Ding Yao asked.

"Judging from the pulse, Childe should have been a dead man years ago." Hua Tuo said: "But he is alive and well, and his pulse is becoming more and more stable." ”

"Zirong should be a dead man?" Ding Yao frowned: "Why did Mr. say this?" ”
