Chapter Twenty-Four: Re-Entering the Green Building
Zhong Wuregret didn't want to wade into troubled waters, and it was not good to refuse directly, he said to the old man: "The conditions proposed by the old man today are a bit shocking, I am afraid it will be difficult to accept it for a while, please give the old man a three-day period to consider it, and I will meet you here in three days to give you a clear answer, I don't know how?" ”
That being said, he had already thought of two words: "Don't do it." ”
"Am I not a thief at best? But this one wants me to kill King Mu, the prince who wants me to kill King Mu, I want to make some money with my beautiful wife, and live a peaceful pastoral life. If I have to do something big to destroy my family and clan, is it necessary for me to go to this troubled water? Whether you wear it or not, life is so decades, if you can live well, why not live well? With this thought, Zhong Wuregret returned to the mansion with a robe hanging around his waist.
Ling Xiang saw Zhong Wuregret's embarrassment, frightened tears came out, quickly took a closer look at him, what damage, since Zhong Wuregret was admitted to the room, Ling Xiang devoted all her thoughts to Zhong Wuregret, this little girl is also very smart, in dealing with the chores of "Luming Garden", Zhong Wuregret has helped a lot, and she has the appearance of a deputy butler.
Zhong Wuregret softly comforted her that she was fine, saying that she just wanted to take a bath and rest well, as soon as she heard about the bath, Lingxiang's face turned red, she still didn't know the meaning of Zhong Wuregret's bath? Although she has been transformed from a girl to a little woman, she still cannot escape the shyness of a girl because of the short time she has passed.
Zhong Wuregret soaked in the steaming big wooden barrel, hugged left and right, and felt extremely comfortable. Whether it is ancient or modern, as ordinary people, living in the world has the same purpose, to live a happy family life. It was only in the end that because he couldn't survive anymore, he took risks and embarked on the road of rebellion.
Zhong Wuregret knows that throughout China's 5,000-year history, it is common for the country to be broken, but after the old country is broken, the new country is established again, for him, there is no concept of loyalty and patriotism, in the troubled times of princes' disputes, as long as he can keep his home and live a life in peace, he will be satisfied.
So far, everything he has done is for this warm little home.
Touch Cao Yun'e on the left, play Lingxiang on the right, and the big wooden barrel is full of spring.
"The thin skin and tender meat are white waves, and the meatballs are made in the water of the wooden barrel. This is the real living color! According to the actual process, produce a few more products of the future, earn a lot of silver, and find a few concubines, and the days will be ......" Zhong Wuregret's saliva dripped a string.
"Husband is so obsessed, what are you thinking?" Cao Yun'e asked.
"Hahaha......" Zhong Wuregret's special lewd laughter sounded in imitation of Stephen Chow: "I'm thinking about my baby." ”
He looked at the incomparably beautiful Cao Yun'e and the delicate Lingxiang and said, "Do you know, you, only you, are the treasures I want to cherish." ”
After hundreds of words of harmony, Zhong Wuregret leaned on Cao Yun'e's arms with satisfaction, Lingxiang ignored his own fatigue and carefully massaged him.
"King Mu's killing of the king is only one of the results of the struggle for power. In Chinese history, for the sake of the throne, there are fewer things like killing wives and children, killing fathers and sons, and brothers killing each other? What does this matter to me? ”
Zhong Wuregret also regretted the deal with the old blacksmith, he could only pray silently, as long as he was careful about what he was doing in secret, nothing should happen.
From tomorrow, he is ready to start making lamps, and in business, he will make a good start first, make a fortune, and sit firmly in the "middle class" of Chu State.
With silver, everything is easy. He will find a way to marry the county prince and the sons and sons of Doufu, enjoy the taste of classical beauties in silk and bamboo wine, and enjoy a perfect sexual life, which is a great pleasure in life.
The abacus was played beautifully. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven.
Two days later, Zhong Wuregret took Lingxiang and the two nursing homes to the county government with a refreshed spirit.
The purchase and some daily management of "Luming Garden", Zhong Wuregret handed over to Lingxiang to handle, and he wanted to cultivate a beautiful manager for "Luming Garden" that everyone would envy in the future.
Lingxiang is indeed very smart, Zhong Wuregret taught her Arabic numeral arithmetic, and she used it in a few days.
Zhong Wuregret took the designed lighting drawings and came to the "Bright Lamp Factory" with Qu Rong. This is the factory name that Zhong Wuregret chose for his "private enterprise".
Long before negotiating with the county government, Zhong Wuregret had asked Qu Rong to find a craftsman near the county government, and then based on his site, he bought a few courtyards nearby, and then gathered craftsmen found elsewhere here to carry out large-scale production together. Zhong Wuregret originally planned to discuss with the county magistrate, and the time would be longer, and if the discussion was not good, he would have to do it alone, so he arranged it in advance.
Several craftsmen who made bronzes admired him after seeing the drawings handed over to them by Zhong Wuregret, and in terms of craftsmanship, the production of lamps was not difficult, the key was that they could not think of this idea.
Zhong Wuregret divides the production of lamps into two categories: popular and luxurious. Like the fish lamp he designed, the shape is ordinary, as long as the fish body is oiled, and the lamp twist is lit on the cocked tail. This kind of popular lamp, of course, is designed for the general public, the price is not high, the production is simple, and the quantity wins.
Some of the lamps are exquisitely made and have vivid shapes. For example, the lotus lamp, the three lotus flowers are triangular and open, the lotus stamen is the wick, and the lotus stem is hollow to send oil. There is also a lamp that is a torch held high by a bronze man, and this shape is designed by Zhong Wuregret with reference to the athletes holding the torch.
Like this kind of lamp, the production process is very demanding, the lamp made is luxurious, novel, and the output is not large, mainly sold to those princes and magnates, as well as businessmen and nobles.
Popularize first, and then improve when someone imitates it, and win with an ingenious idea, which is the sales strategy set by Zhong Wuregret.
In the future, Qu Rong will be the supervisor and supervise the progress of the production every day, and Lingxiang will be the general manager, counting the products in the warehouse, the results of sales, and calculating the commission of each craftsman.
In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the craftsmen, Zhong Wuregret agreed with the craftsmen that in addition to the wages, for every lamp sold, the craftsmen who made it would be rewarded with 5% of the profits.
It took most of the day in the "Bright Lamp Factory", and after the things were arranged, it was time to visit Doufu.
After arranging the production of lamps and lanterns, Lingxiang took the two nurses to the market to buy some daily necessities, and Zhong Wuregret came to Doufu alone to visit.
As soon as they met, they scolded Doosan: "It's good that you, in order to keep your prostitution, you actually looked for my Doufu's musty, this time Doufu's face was lost because of you, and Doufu has now become a joke in the restaurant tea house." ”
Hearing him say this, Zhong Wuregret knew that Dou Feng had told Doosan what he said in the "Luming Garden".
"Brother Doosan, I'm also forced to do this, look at it," Zhong Wuregret tore off his robe, showed the arrow wound, and then said to Doosan confidently: "Brother Doosan, is your face important, or my life is important, I have no choice but to do it, if it weren't for that bastard in your mansion to force him to the death, how could this be?" It's a big deal, I'm 'Luming Garden' came to make amends with great fanfare.
In other words, in the county, you and Panfu are the biggest, you are in the city, deliberately find a reason to humiliate the people of Panfu, if you suppress the limelight of Panfu, your Doufu is not the first brand in the county, who dares to say that yours is not. ”
Zhong Wuregret lost no time in starting to provoke, and the two strong fought each other, so that he could profit from it.
"What first sign?" Dou Feng was a little puzzled.
"Flutter" Zhong Wuregret knocked on his head: "You pig head, do you know what the head card of the Orchid Building means?" Do you know what the top card of Cuixiangyuan means? ”
"Oh, I know," Dou Feng covered his head and said, "As long as we overpower Pan Mansion, our Dou Mansion will be the number one in the county, right?" ”
"Smart, smart" Zhong Wuregret gave Dou Feng a thumbs up: "What is his Pan Mansion, our incomparably wise Chu State Ling Yin overwhelms him, and the joke of the Restaurant Tea House is the Pan Mansion." ”
"Well, this is also, however, the Pan Mansion is not easy to mess with, if you don't get it to lose, I won't mention it." Doosan is not a simple-minded person, and Chung's plan to sow discord has not succeeded.
Dou Feng salivated and said, "Didn't you say that if you come to Doufu again, you will have new tricks to teach me?" ”
Zhong Wuregret laughed and said, "I came to make amends today, can I come empty-handed?" Let's go, go to the old place Orchid Building, I'll teach you a new trick, the old man cart! ”
As soon as he heard that he went to the Orchid Building to play a new trick, Doosan's anger immediately disappeared, but he asked, "Brother Ji, aren't you afraid that others will recognize you?" ”
Zhong Wuregret hurriedly greeted Doosan's mother in his heart and said, "Doufeng didn't tell you? I have changed my name to Zhong Wuregret. ”
"Oh, it's hard to get used to it. Why did Brother Zhong become so bold again? Aren't you afraid of death? Doosan said in a mocking tone.
"I'm here today, do you see me bring a black gauze hat?"
"Nope." The brothers said in unison.
"When I came today, did you see that I entered the door in secret?"
"Nope." The brothers spoke in unison.
"Since Doufeng went to Luming Garden, it reminded us of our past romance and kept me awake all night, painful!" Zhong Wuregret suddenly remembered that he saw a leader on the Internet who took an oath to do a thousand women, and said in his heart: "I think, if a man doesn't do a thousand women, the lord of Hades will not follow." Not to mention being a beauty, even for the sake of my name as a 'lewd thief', I can't just care about my life, hide in the house every day, and face a dead wall in a daze. If the peony flower dies, it will be a ghost! ”
Looking at Zhong Wuregret's "lewd thief" demeanor and rare "lewd thief" temperament, the two Doosan brothers were moved and immediately decided to go to the Orchid Building with Zhong Wuregret to "push the cart".
From the outside, the cyan high-rise building of the Orchid Building is featureless, and when he entered the door, Zhong Wuregret found that it was very lively inside. He counted the ring-shaped floor "private rooms" in front of him, at least dozens of them.
There is an endless stream of young people in Tsing Yi who deliver wine and food, and there are also pink and green women from time to time.
As soon as I saw Doosan, the flowery ** immediately posted it: "Yo, why hasn't the son come for so long, I don't think about my Hong'er Lan'er tea." ”
Doosan rudely grabbed her cheek and said, "Is there a new here?" ”
**The tears of pain were about to fall, and she forced a smile and said, "Yes, yes, Lord Bao is satisfied, but ......" She didn't seem to have finished speaking.
Doosan interrupted her and said rudely, "What's the matter, take us quickly." ”
** I was so frightened that I didn't dare to say any more, and as soon as I waved, a handsome maid immediately stepped forward and said, "Childe, please come with me." ”
The maidservant took Doosan and his party to a small building in the back. The small building is surrounded by rows of verdant bamboo, which is exceptionally quiet, which is in stark contrast to the lobby in front.
In the main hall of the small building, there are four desks, and several bedrooms are for guests to stay after drinking.
"Quick, serve the food first." As soon as Doosan sat down, he shouted.
Orchid House has long been familiar with Doosan's habits, and as soon as Doosan's voice fell, exquisite dishes were already on the table for the three of them. Two young men in Tsing Yi came in with a big statue about one meter tall and full of fine wine. Zhong Wuregret was dumbfounded, not to mention so much wine, even so much water is enough to drink.
