Section 105 Business (II)

The so-called raising of hands without smiling faces is really human nature, even a cold-hearted and cold-faced guy like Luo Kaixian can't escape this kind of human sophistication.

So after deliberately snubbing Zhao Guang for a while, by chatting with the girl, Luo Kai first adjusted his thoughts, and when the restaurant guy laid out the dishes almost the same, he sent a few young ladies to the side to join the table to have fun, and he himself beckoned Zhao Guang to sit and eat, first, to listen to some anecdotes from the mouth of the snake, and second, he planned to make a cameo role as a businessman - for the future sales of the products produced in Lingzhou.

I don't know when it started to be mentioned that there is no wine and no feast, but it is not a problem here in Luo Kaixian. Of course, he was not completely insulated from the drinks, but the time and place of the drinks were more important to him, and it was clear that this time was not suitable for the time, the place, or the person sitting across the table.

Listening to the voices around him or chewing food or whispering about things, Zhao Guang felt a little embarrassed, the people of Lingzhou were obviously different from all the Gentiles he had come into contact with, at least he had never heard of people in any place so self-disciplined.

In his impression, most people outside the Song Realm will be obsessed with the prosperity of this Song Jing, especially those so-called brave warriors, who don't even care about their net worth and lives when they see wine and little girls.

But these Lingzhou people in front of them, they are obviously not, especially the guy in front of him who calls himself Wei Shilang, whose face is comparable to a cold and hard shield of the forbidden army, in the face of such a guy, how to get closer to each other? In order to get the novelty that the other party's family inadvertently leaked?

Zhao Guang swallowed the food quite dumbly, but his head was almost tangled into a pulp.

The food in Yuefulou is obviously very good, even in this era when there are no condiments such as chili, bay leaves, star anise, etc., its dishes are also close to the seasoning level of later generations, eat a whole 'fall to death' sauce beef leg, and then consume six azure deep-mouthed porcelain dishes of various winter dishes, as well as three bowls of rice and rice from the south of the Yangtze River and a pearl jade white jade soup, wipe the oil stains on the corners of the mouth, and tell the shopkeeper to serve tea after the meal, Luo Kaixian Shi Ran spoke, "Food is not silent, it is rumored to be an oriental ancient ceremony, Wei Mouchu returned to the east, It's great...... Shopkeeper Zhao eats very little, is it because of stomach disharmony? Or is there something else? ”

Of course, this is a more euphemistic introduction, Luo is just a coldness trained on the battlefield, not a stupid person with low emotional intelligence, speaking like this is actually not in line with his habits, it just needs to ...... It is not only to train yourself to adapt to the speech of this era, but also to try to make yourself appear more friendly.

Clearly, it worked.

At least the shopkeeper of Xihongzhai was a little flattered, and quickly raised his head, Zhao Guang said: "Thank you General Wei for asking, Zhao is just ...... Just ......"

"Please pause...... Zhao shopkeeper! Along with the words, Luo Kaixian raised his hand to stop the other party's words, and said: "Wei has been in the army for a long time, and he is not good at empty words...... Shopkeeper Zhao is thoughtful, you might as well tell him bluntly......"

Zhao Guang was also entangled for too long, and when he heard this, he let go of all his thoughts, sighed and said, "Alas...... General Wei is really cool! In this way, Zhao does not have to talk nonsense...... When you belonged to the selection of things in the store before, I was quite disdainful of the pancreatic soap beans mentioned by the shopkeepers, and I once said that the washing things in Lingzhou were called soap...... I don't know General Wei, what kind of creation washing effect is better than soap beans? Can Zhao be allowed to take a certain view? ”

"Hah!" Luo Kaixian pretended to be hearty, smiled calmly, turned his head and ordered: "And Glass, order someone to go downstairs to change shifts, and by the way, take a few pieces of soap and soap of different grades from the saddle of the horse!" ”

"No!" Under the long-term influence of someone Luo, the people around him often do things very well with him, even trivial things such as eating. Glass answered from afar, and soon a few of them got up and hurried downstairs.

After a few shouts, someone walked up quickly, holding four or five wooden boxes, and when he arrived in front of Luo Kaixian, he said loudly: "The master ......."

"Stay, put it on the table of Zhao's shopkeeper! Then go to dinner! Luo Kai waved his hand to stop, and then ordered.

"No!" The obedience of the guards was top-notch.

After continuous movements, in addition to the cups and dishes that were still on Zhao Guang's table, a wooden box of different gears was stacked on the table.

The style and size of the box are generally the same - the palm is spread out so large, and the lid is engraved with the word Lingzhou, but the texture is completely different, the best of them are made of sandalwood offcuts, and the worst is made of reeds and wooden frames.

You can't see anything wonderful on the outside, but if you look closely, you can see the difference, they all exude different fragrances!

Zhao Guang's eyes were shining, and he didn't even bother to say words of thanks to Luo Kaixian, he only kept groping on different boxes with his hands, and his eyes were even more direct, as if the wooden box in front of him could take root and blossom.

As an agent of the royal business, he first chose the most luxuriously decorated sandalwood box, uncovered the copper buckle on the box, and after a soft click, what appeared in his eyes was a total of eight smaller boxes of equal size on the upper and lower layers, and the lid of the box was carved with orchids, plum blossoms, lilies, and peonies with four different patterns.

When he looked down, he found that the small wooden box was wrapped in golden satin and was not square or round, and when he looked at it, he found that there was a thing like pink beeswax stone wrapped in golden satin with his fingers.

He couldn't help but look up at the other side and asked, "General Wei, is this ...... Is it soap? ”

"Yes!" Luo Kai confirmed first.

Although it is only one word, it is full of his self-confidence. It didn't take long for these soaps to be made, especially for him, a weapons expert, where the rolled grease was mixed with slightly refined caustic soda, underwent a simple saponification reaction, mixed with different flavors that had been adjusted, and then pressed into a pre-ordered mold...... It's not too easy.

But for the people of this era, this is a fantasy thing, if you follow the words of the Song people, I am afraid that any words such as "unbelievable" and "strange and ingenious" will be added to it.

The current East is different from the barbarians of Europa who take a bath once a year, and for the Song people who like to be clean, it is something they can hardly refuse.

Luo Kaixian knows all of this very well - although he has never set foot in a shopping mall, as long as he looks at the shopkeeper in front of him who almost wants to stare out of his eyes, even if he is a layman, he will say that most of the things have become more than half, and the rest is the price measurement, profit distribution, and supply methods.

Next, just as he expected, after Zhao Guang opened all the wooden boxes, sniffed them one by one, and after asking for permission, he washed his hands and face with water and tried it again, which alarmed the shopkeeper of the restaurant, Kou Ying, before he stared at his ruddy eyes comparable to an angry bull and asked, "General Wei, is this thing...... How much does soap cost? How much is it? Can I be allowed to sell it on my behalf? ”

Without waiting for Luo Kai to reply first, Kou Ying, the shopkeeper of Yuefulou, who had been watching for a long time after being alarmed, also spoke, "General Wei, this thing is rare, and the price is probably expensive, Kou heard that the general buys grain, and my Kou family also has a lot of fertile land in Xuzhou (1), and there are hundreds of thousands of stones of grain in store this year, and I am willing to sell it to the general at a low price, in order to seek the right to operate this thing!" ”

Zhao Guang glared at Kou Ying with red eyes, and said: "Kou Fatty, this soap can only be exempted from disputes by the royal franchise, although your Kou family has Kou Shumi as the pillar of optimus, however, even if Kou Shumi can lead the crowd to block the soldiers of Northern Liao, it can't block the wealth of many nobles!" ”

Looking at the smiling and kind Kou Ying, it was obviously not idle, and he retorted: "Sour Zhao, this thing is enough to replace the pancreas and soap beans and other things that cleanse the body, you don't want to swallow it alone, and a certain Kou family does not seek a franchise, but only the right to sell it in a certain place...... Besides, this thing is a specialty of Lingzhou, not owned by the royal family! ”

Who said that the ancients were ashamed of their words? Who said that the emperor was arbitrary under the great unification system of the East? Words such as franchise and consignment came out one by one, the nouns had poor meanings but were not bad, even if Luo Kaixian thought he was knowledgeable, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, he just spoke slowly, and these two Song people starred in a good show of fighting for power and profit.

Fortunately, unlike others, the cool-headed Luo Kaixian was too lazy to listen to such boring words, he raised his hands slightly, and shouted in a deep voice: "Two, the soap is produced in my Lingzhou, but unfortunately the output is limited now, Wei Mou only brought 30,000 yuan from the east this time, if you want to obtain the right to sell from a certain family, the price is only one of them, and it depends on whether the two of you can solve the urgency of buying grain for a certain family...... What the shopkeeper said won my ......"

Zhao Guang was anxious, stood up and said eagerly: "General Wei, Zhao has no arbitrary power, but he can pass through the king of my family, and the palace has an imperial village in Songzhou (2), and the food produced can also be used for the general's needs!" ”

Luo Kaixian waved his hand, and said calmly: "Shopkeeper Zhao, please be calm and don't be impatient, Wei will not leave Bianjing tomorrow, there is urgency, there is no need to panic, Shopkeeper Zhao is only mentioning the king, is it His Royal Highness King Yong?" ”

"Ran ......" With Luo Kaixian's calm words, Zhao Guang slowly sat back.

"Good!" Luo Kai gave a cheer and continued: "Shopkeeper Zhao can help Wei a lot of things, not only the purchase of grain, but also the subsequent handover of soap, the road between Lingzhou and Song Di needs to be peaceful, the two families can't meet each other, does Shopkeeper Zhao think so?" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Zhao Guang, but also Kou Ying nodded on the side.

Luo Kaixian hit the railway while it was hot: "I Lingzhou people only want to live in peace, and have no intention of committing crimes in the east, the existing mission is located in Honglu Temple, and it is just to negotiate with you about the non-aggression agreement, and now I don't see your emperor make a decision, or can His Royal Highness King Yong come forward to say something?" ”

"This ...... Don't hide it from the general, what the general said is related to the major affairs of the country, but the slave of the king's family is not able to make decisions for the king of my family, this matter needs to be widely reported to the king, before it can be ......" Zhao Guang's actions were more humble, and he said cautiously.

"It's okay......" Seeing that the other party's words were squeaky, Luo Kaixian was not in the mood to embarrass the two low-level characters, and said calmly: "Shopkeeper Zhao doesn't need to be embarrassed, just pass on the message to your king...... By the way, Wei led the crowd to punish Yang Jingzong before, but he gave a light punishment, considering that they all had small families and did not let go in order to protect the face of Emperor Song...... As for the decision made by the king of your family, listen to your ......"

At this point, there is no point in saying more, and both parties, or all three, have lost interest in talking.

For Luo Kaixian, all the things that should have been done that day were completed, and the things that were not planned were also done.

What is this? Do you kill more than one stone, or do you follow the trend? Is it a pure business in the commercial category? Or is it a balance of money and power?

For a while, he couldn't figure it out, but in general, it wasn't bad.
