Xuandu, in the Longhu business, although there is a stove, it looks cold.

Wei Qi had already eaten the seventeenth chopsticks, but it took half an hour for these seventeen bites.

Liu Jinyuan was already sitting stubbornly on the chair at this time, and there were no wet wipes on his mouth and nose, and his bitter water had already been vomited dry, leaving only retching, but he did not move away. Although there was a mess in front of him, this stubborn champion always had to accompany Wei Qi.

At the beginning, Liu Jinyuan was just like Wei Qi, but at this time, in his heart, the champion already regarded Wei Qi as a person in distress.

The front desk shopkeeper had already reminded Mr. Shang San that the shopkeeper Cui of Wanshan Mule and Horse Company was already waiting outside, but Shang San ignored it. Although he has read a lot of people, like Wei Qi, it is obvious that every chopstick is tormented to eat, but he still insists on it until now, but there is no second person to think about.

If he really breaks through, it can be regarded as a loss-making business, and you can talk about it first.

Mr. Shang San's mind suddenly flashed such a thought that was inconsistent with Shang Dao, but this thought was in line with his current chest. Although he is a businessman seeking profit, he is not narrow-minded.

He looked at Wei Qi and said, "The parrot tongue, newly plucked out, belongs to the most clever white parrot." Add tomato cold sauce. He spoke at this time, just to tell the truth of the ingredients and increase the pressure on Wei Qi's heart.

Wei Qi didn't chew either, and swallowed: "The tongue is the fist and foot of business, and it is articulate and conducive to negotiation." As he spoke, he flipped the chopsticks and sandwiched another fan-shaped object. Although he can't see things now, the jade chopsticks are still accurate, which makes Shang San can't help but admire.

Shang San continued: "Bat wings, steamed and cooked, with oyster sauce." ”

Wei Qi ate it and replied with a smile: "The bat is the Eagle King of the Night, although he is blind, he turns quickly. For example, a merchant needs to find a way forward in a place where there is no information, and this is more valuable than eagle wings. This seems to be the silkworm in the moth cocoon. As he spoke, he picked up the rest of the contents of the plate.

Shang San said with a smile: "The envoy will no longer distinguish the people who say Shang Jia, so they are used to killing chickens and taking eggs." Speaking of this, he was already convinced by Wei, which is why he came out with such self-deprecating words.

Wei Qi teased slowly, smiled and replied, "It's hard to say." After that, he knocked the jade chopsticks on the edge of the plate, untied the silk cloth in front of him, and sighed: "There are all kinds of good flavors in the Tibetan porridge, but they are scattered and messy...... It's really delicious, it's just like that! He took a long breath, as if he had just gone to a family banquet and was talking about his life with the people he was with.

Mr. Shang San was already extremely convinced at this time, and he set up these "three passes" for ten years, stumped countless heroes and men in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect this ordinary scholar to be able to survive these two hardships. He immediately took the wet wipes on his mouth and nose, asked his subordinates to clean up the table, and ordered: "Go to the first place!" ”

Liu Jinyuan had recovered a little at this time, and the dishes on the table had been cleaned up at this time, and the incense should have agarwood ambergris and other things. But at this time, when I heard Mr. Shang San's "appetizer", I couldn't help but feel a sudden collapse in my heart. It turned out that this "appetizer" was the dish of the third level in reverse order. The first two levels are already so exhausting, but I don't know what the third level is.

But at this time, the person had already brought a delicate jade plate up, the jade dish emerald green color, although not as large as the glass plate of the talent, but it seems to be carved on the whole jade, the edge of the plate carved finely, the pattern with the pattern of the pattern and open, but it is painted the wonderful posture of the sky, when it is from the hands of a famous artist.

And this plate is now covered with a small square of ingredients with black silk cloth, which is extremely mysterious, but under the sniff, there is no strange taste. Seeing this, Wei Qi couldn't help but smile and said: "The utensils are so exquisite, presumably the ingredients are also extraordinary, dare to ask what is the name of this appetizer?" He had just tasted "Tibetan porridge" and "lark plate", and knew that if he knew the name of the food first, he should be mentally prepared.

Shang San slowly stretched out his hand at this time, uncovered the black cloth, and said, "The name is Tianlong Fat!" ”

Wei raised his fingers and tapped on the table, and muttered: "The names of the first two dishes are all appropriate, could it be this ......"

Shang San had already uncovered the silk cloth in front of him at this time, and saw that what was on the jade plate was a slightly charred piece of beige-white flakes that were turned around and swung on the plate, like glue and meat, and there were various dipping sauces around, which seemed to be ordinary.

But when he heard this, Shang Sanchang let out a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, it's dragon meat!" ”

He had just said the word "dragon meat", and even Wei Qi was shocked, just after he ate the first two dishes, he went through all the flavors of the world, although it was torture for the will and soul, but it was the taste of the world. But at this moment, when he heard Shang Sanyan say that the food on this plate was "dragon meat", he couldn't help but shake his head, and Liu Jinyuan on the side had already opened his voice: "Zi Bu is strange and confused, Zi Bu is strange and confused!" ”

Shang San glanced at Liu Jinyuan, looked at Wei Qi and said, "Mr. Hu, don't you believe it?" ”

Wei Qi frowned and thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "Such dragon meat, presumably the third master consumes a lot of money, and Hu doesn't dare to eat it in vain!" As he spoke, he stretched the jade chopsticks in front of him and looked at Shang San.

Shang San said with a smile: "When you are brave, you have the courage to be strategic, you can know how to stop after overcoming difficulties, you are suspicious but not rash, and you can make profits when you get profits." Mr. Hu is really a master! As he spoke, he stretched out the jade chopstick in front of him, sandwiched a piece of "dragon meat", dipped it in some mustard, put it in his mouth and chewed it. Seeing this, Wei Qi also laughed, lifted his chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of "dragon meat", dipped it in some cumin, and stuffed it into his mouth. There is no fancyness on the taste of this "heavenly gentian", it is just an ordinary fresh fragrance.

It turned out that Shang San set up these three passes, and he also had the intention of observing his people from the side. Although the ingredients of this third course are special, the taste is also ordinary, and if you can see through all things with the mind of Buddhism, it is just ordinary white meat. But often after experiencing the first two levels, people will be moved by the name of "dragon meat", and remember a few, either inconvenient like the first two dishes, chewing hard, and finally destroying the heavenly things, or inconvenient to be afraid of cowardice, dare not try the unknown.

This is the way of business, and the shrewd calculation lies in observing people. So far today, Wei Qi has not been affected by the name, and at this time, he is even with Shang San with a chopstick, eating the dragon meat on the plate, which has already made Shang San admire in his heart, and he wanted to cooperate with Wei Qi, so he said casually: "Mr. Hu wants to hear the source of this dragon meat." ”

Wei Qi stopped chopsticks and smiled: "I was about to ask for advice." ”

Shang San said: "Everyone in the world knows that the land is vast and the species are abundant, but they don't know the vastness of the ocean, far beyond the land, and the products in the meantime are as large as long whales, as small as mayflies, and it is even more innumerable...... Speaking of this, he took a sip of the tea in front of him: "But even if you know that there are thousands of creatures on land and sea, but no one dares to think about the vast sky between heaven and earth, but what kind of living creatures inhabit?" With that, he rolled his eyes and looked at Wei Qi.

Wei Qi knew that he would have something to say, so he immediately threw bricks and said: "Eagles, falcons and finches are all spirits in the air. ”

Shang San shook his head and said: "Eagle falcon and finch have to live for a long time, even if they are the Dapeng bird that Kun has turned into, they will also inhabit Nanming even if they fly for three months." He sighed, "What I am talking about is the nest of the clouds and the horses of the wind." ”

When Wei Qi heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that what the third master said is actually the one who takes advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth, the distinction of the six qis, and swims in the infinite?" The quote he quoted is from "Zhuangzi Wandering", which speaks of the realm of the god-man who has nothing to rely on.

When Shang San heard this, he couldn't help but have a long vision, and after a while, he grabbed a chopstick dragon meat, and pondered: "Smoke is lighter than air, and it can go straight up the sky, like a bird." If there is something that can use smoke as a bone, it can be lighter than air when it spreads its wings, and when it is windy, it can fly by relying on it, and when it is formed, it is thick and heavy, and it can fall into the world. They don't know why, but they can be called dragons. Speaking of this, Shang San shook his head unconsciously, and said with a smile: "This thing is a thunderstorm on the bank of the Songhua River, there is a big snake-like thing about ten zhang long, injured and paid in the grass, making a bull's roar, with antler crocodile feet, and after three days of suspicion, he was suspected of shedding his armor and flying, and he didn't know what to do." And what we're eating now may just be a big snake. He laughed.

Wei Qi also put down his chopsticks and laughed at this time, and after laughing, Wei Qi said: "Third master, the three levels have passed, can Hu talk to you about business?" "It turned out that the jade plate was empty at this time, but it could be regarded as a broken level.

Shang San flicked his sleeves at this time and said, "You can talk, but the Longhu business won't agree!" With a wave of his hand, he motioned for the man to go out.

Liu Jinyuan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Shang San's sentence. He was originally glad that Wei Qi had finally passed the test, but unexpectedly, Wei Qi had already been rejected by Mr. Shang San before he could speak.

Wei Qi was not in a hurry, and asked with a smile: "Oh, the third master knows what business Hu is going to do?" ”

Shang San glanced at Liu Jinyuan on the side and said, "Since Second Prince Liu is here, Master Hu is definitely going to do grain and grass business with someone!" Don't say that the Longhu business has no food in hand now, and even if there is food, it should be requisitioned as official military rations at this moment! As for buying grain from the south of the Yangtze River, hehe, now that the north is fighting, the price of grain has risen to one or two dollars, and the front-line consumption is regarded as a piece of military food, 200,000 soldiers, 200,000 people, and the monthly consumption of grain will be about 600,000 stones, and the transportation fee and military horse forage will be counted, and the military grain for January will cost about one million silver. What's more, now in the land south of the Yangtze River, the mood of waiting for the grain to rise is high, and the governor is in the middle of the Yangtze River, and the second son of Liu will not know about this, so even if I am willing to destroy my family and serve the country, how can I buy grain? Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sharpen his eyes, and said: "Moreover, Liu Shoufu is not a businessman, if I raise money to buy grain with him, I will definitely be sold as military food at a low price in the end." The Qi Dynasty focused on agriculture and suppressed business, even if the emperor finally won a big victory, I was a businessman, at most I would give a knight a reward, but what if Longhu lost money. ”

The Qi Dynasty does not pay attention to the way of Shang Jia, in fact, it is the time when he dislikes Shang Jia's words, and he is used to saying that it is profitable, Shang San does not change the true character of Shang Jia when he is in such a national war, and Liu Jinyuan was stunned when he heard his words, but when he thought of Wei Qi's instructions, it was inconvenient to open his voice, and he stared at Wei Qi at the moment.

But seeing Wei Qi smile slightly, he asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask the third master, why is the grain not sold in the south of the Yangtze River?" ”

Shang San sighed: "Hoarding is nothing more than seeking profit and avoiding disaster!" Profit-seekers had to wait for the price of grain to rise and sell it at a high price, and those who avoided disaster feared that if the Qi army was defeated and the north fell, they would have more money to save their lives. ”

Wei nodded and said, "So, what if Linqing suddenly has an extra million stone grains?" ”

When Shang San heard this, he was shocked and said, "Isn't the warehouse burned?" ”

Wei Qi replied: "Now that the victims of the disaster in Shandong need silver money for disaster relief, and the north needs silver money to fight, if Linqing is not burned, how can one grain be broken into two parts?" Between the words, it is implied that this is the work of the imperial court.

When Shang San heard this, the beard on his lips stood up, and he was panting in his nose. At this time, if Wei Qi said other reasons to explain the matter of Linqing, he would not believe it, although he had contacted Shen Huai these days, he did not know what King Qin had done, and naturally he did not know about the official family after the burning of Linqing. But he knew that the "disaster relief" and the "Northern Expedition" were two huge national affairs, so Wei Qi said this, but he firmly believed it.

Shang San knew that one million stone of grain was regarded as three percent of the grain in the warehouse when the warehouse was full, and if what Wei Qi said was true, then the difficulty of "defeating the army" and the benefit of "hoarding" that he said had no evidence. At that moment, Shang San was just stunned and thought about the relationship, and then he reached out and took the jade abacus on the table, his fingers quickly flicked, only to hear a crackling jasper impact sound like raindrops, and after a while, Shang San breathed a sigh of relief and said: "What kind of business does Mr. Hu want to do with my Longhu firm?" ”

Wei Qi said lightly: "Escort business!" ”

Shang San nodded, there seemed to be doubts in his eyes, and asked, "How sure is the grain?" ”

Wei Qi said: "Fifty percent! ”

Shang San asked again, "How much is the pay?" ”

Wei played: "Three points!" ”

Shang San shook his head and said, "At least five points!" ”

Wei Qidao was also refreshing, and said at the moment: "Cheng, the extra two points are sold!" ”

Shang San said in a deep voice: "You want to sell for money? ”

Wei nodded and said, "Not bad! In this way, it will be sold according to the grain storage price, seven dollars and three dollars. Otherwise, the kid wouldn't have been able to convince Shousuke-sama. ”

Shang San was stunned when he heard this, gritted his teeth again, and said, "Who to settle with, and where to send it?" ”

Wei Qi said: "Jiaozhou, deal with Liu Shoufu and send it to Dengzhou!" ”

Shang San frowned and asked, "If it is used as military rations, why did you make a detour to Jiaozhou?" ”

Wei Qi's eyes suddenly flashed, and he asked rhetorically: "If the people in the court and the central government want to use this grain and grass as military food, then why should Liu Shoufu make a move?" ”

Shang San's eyes flickered, as if he had hesitated for a long time, and suddenly turned calm, as if he had made a great decision, and sighed: "It's done!" After saying that, his beard moved, and he said: "Make an alliance with you, and Li Siliuqi who wants to come to Shimen will also look up to my old man!" ”

After that, he called the steward and instructed him to send the shopkeeper of the Wanshan Mule and Horse Shop away, and discussed the details with Wei Qi.

————————————

Several children were firmly tied, lined up, and knelt in the courtyard of the Xue family in Yuguan.

Emperor Xiao Zhen of Great Qi was dressed in a civilian robe, pacing in front of the hall, while Wei Huan stood beside him.

As Xiao Zhen walked, he kept chanting the ballad of "The spring breeze rises, the seedlings are green, the tiger's head is white, and the snow is perched", frowning slightly, as if he was thinking hard.

This is the thirteenth time that Xiao Zhen has been talking about this after hearing about this today, but he has never expressed his position.

Just like the sea, the quieter it is, the more power it accumulates.

Wei Huan understood this well, and of course he was proud of Yan Mu's message to him.

As Wei Qi said, he has a reason to bring down King Qin, and he also has a way to bring down King Qin at this moment.

Why not?

Thinking of this, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes moved slightly, and his body couldn't help but bow a little lower.

Mu Yun's right-hand man will go to Long Ju to go outside the pass, most of them are unfortunate, as long as the news of Long Ju's failure comes back, Wei Qi can let Mu Yun pass the evidence of King Qin, and then ......

Thinking of this, he didn't even realize that the wrinkles at the corners of his mouth were a little deeper. He tentatively opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to ......" and made a decapitation gesture as he spoke.

But at this time, Mayor Xiao let out a long sigh and said, "It's just an ordinary ballad, don't mention it again, sir." The herald ordered the sword guard to strictly investigate the Xuandu, and no one should be allowed to sing this song after that, and the violator will be beheaded. These children stayed in Yuguan for the time being, and served as subordinates in my line. I'm tired......" said that, with a flick of his long sleeves, he left.

Wei Huan replied loudly: "The slave takes the order!" "Follow Xiao Zhen out.

The sun in the sky is hidden behind the clouds, and it is rare to clear for a few days, and now I am afraid that it will snow again.
