Chapter 157: Quanzhou Pu Family?
Chapter 157 Quanzhou Pu Family?
"Eight honorable guest officers, please inside." The lady in front of the door instantly counted the number of our group, bowed, and greeted us with a smile.
"Is your shopkeeper here?" Wen Zhang asked.
The welcome lady always had a smile on her face, pointed to the counter and said, "Yes, it's at the front desk." This is your first time in the building, right? ”
"Yes." Wen Zhang said a little shyly.
Welcoming guests with women, this is also the first initiative of Lin'an Tongle Building, ancient women rarely show their heads, fortunately in the Song Dynasty when the folk customs are open, the people will gladly accept after some discussion, especially in Lin'an, Fuzhou such a large city, other high-end restaurants have also begun to follow suit, how to say that the affinity of the female surname is greater than the male surname. These greeters must be gentle, smiling, and well-informed.
A middle-aged man at the counter saw me coming, and hurriedly came out to greet him, "Childe, you are here, please come with me." ”
"Shopkeeper Xiao Han, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you used to it here?"
"Hui Gongzi, I was a little unaccustomed to it when I first came, but now I have completely adapted to it."
The decoration style of Fuzhou Tongle Building is all copied from the Lin'an head office, the shopkeeper Xiao Han and the main chef are from Lin'an Tongle Building, Xiao Han is Xiao Tian's cousin, calm, and the appearance is also three points similar, is the old man of Tongle Building, and then introduced by Xiao Tian, joined the dragon tooth and became a member of the dragon tooth business department.
The dragon's tooth was built shortly, and the manpower was still insufficient, so Fuzhou Tongle Building was also the information point of the dragon's tooth here.
Xiao Han took us upstairs to the Tianzi No. 1 room.
"It's so luxurious." Lin Ying sighed.
"Sister Lin is here for the first time, let them get you a VIP card later, you can get a discount."
Although Chen Miao knew about this place and had eaten in Tongle Building, it was the first time he entered Room No. 1, and he was also amazed.
Lin Ying saw that Fang Ling was extremely familiar with ordering more than a dozen dishes, and hurriedly said, "Sister, you have been here, how much does it cost to order so many dishes?" ”
"Sister Lin, don't worry, my brother is a money fan, we have to eat the poor, this is called killing the rich and helping the poor."
The Lin family is one of the three major families of martial arts, but the management of their disciples is very strict, and the usual expenses are strictly controlled, and the lives of the people of the Lin family are not much different from ordinary people, so Lin Ying rarely sets foot in such high-end consumption places.
After the dishes were served, I said, "Ling'er, you eat first, and Xiao Han and I will go out to have a look." ”
"Got it, brother. Sister Lin, let's eat first. ”
"It's not okay, let's wait for Prince Huyan to come back and eat together." Lin Ying hesitated.
"Sister Lin, you're welcome, come on." After Fang Ling finished speaking, he gave Lin Ying a chopstick dish and said, "Brother Chen Miao, you can eat it too." ”
Wen Zhang, Lan Yu, and Shen Mo also laughed together: "Please, you're welcome." ”
After Yuan Jian and I left the room, we followed Xiao Han to a nearby hut.
Xiao Han closed the door and saluted: "My subordinate Xiao Han has seen Prince Huyan, Mr. Yuan." ”
"Well, everything is simple outside, no need to be polite."
Xiao Han said: "Yes, childe." Yesterday, Mr. Lu said that everything is fine at home, please don't read it. ”
"Good! Xiao Han, how are you doing here? ”
"Childe, the business of Tongle Lou is currently steaming, and it can vaguely compete with the largest local restaurant. The next step is to expand the affairs of the intelligence department. ”
I nodded and said, "Well, once the intelligence station has the right people, the study force will go out." Xiao Han, you asked Lin Zhixiong to come here to meet me at noon. ”
"Yes, Childe."
"Sir, you can ask Wen Zhang to go to the Coastal Preparation Division for dinner, and ask Mr. Ye to come here tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Childe."
"Xiao Han, the sources of the restaurant are very mixed, let the guys pay attention, is there anyone who can build a big ship, the descendants of Gao Shang may be in this Fuzhou area."
"Childe, my subordinates will inform you later."
"Well, in addition, there is a sea ship that has come through Wenzhou recently, named Huating, I have a friend named Huang Daopo, who will get off the ship in Fuzhou Port on this ship, and you will send someone to bring her here."
"Yes, Childe."
"Okay, let's go back to dinner, I'm hungry too."
Back in room 1, everyone was having a good time.
When Lin Ying saw me coming back, she hurriedly got up and said, "Master Huyan, Mr. Yuan, I'm sorry, we all started eating." ”
"It doesn't matter, since everyone can sit together today, it's a kind of fate, casual, hehe, casual."
"Sister Lin, sit down, although my brother is a bit of a money fan, he is very easy-going, you will know after a long time."
"Hehe, Ling'er, why do you always say that I am a fan of money?"
"Businessmen, it's all the same. Sister Lin, did you say? ”
Lin Yingqiao's face was slightly red and said, "Sister Ling'er, I don't think Childe is like you said." ”
"What's that like?"
"I can't say it either, it's not like a businessman you say."
Fang Ling pretended to be old and said: "Hey, I didn't expect that I had known my brother for so long, and it was better for you to know Sister Lin for a day, oh, no, it was half a day to know a lot." ”
Lin Ying's face became more and more ruddy, and she said in a low voice: "Sister Ling'er, what are you talking about, I just feel it." ”
When eating, Yuan Jian and the others basically didn't speak, only Fang Ling said that he was the only one who said that he had a companion, and Fang Ling also talked happily. After a while, Xiao Han came in and said, "Son, the room at the Pingshan Inn next to it has been arranged, and you can move in at any time." ”
"Okay, let's go after dinner."
Pingshan Inn, close to Tongle Building, is an old inn in Fuzhou Mansion. It is said that it was built in the Taizu period, of course, it has been repaired many times in the past three hundred years, but the original appearance has always remained unchanged, which makes people feel very antique.
Near noon, I finished talking with Ye Mengding and said, "Mr. Ye, I want to meet Fuzhou businessman Lin Zhixiong at noon, he should have something to do with the Fuzhou Ship Division, you can go with us to listen." ”
"Yes, Childe."
Wen Zhang had already informed Ye Mengding in advance, so he was also commensurate with the name of his son.
When we arrived, Lin Zhixiong looked anxious and paced back and forth in the No. 1 room of Tianzi.
"Boss Lin, if you don't see it, don't come unharmed."
"Childe, you're here, I'm looking forward to the stars and the moon, and I'm finally looking forward to you."
"Boss Lin, don't worry, sit down and talk, this is Mr. Ye, you have seen several others."
Lin Zhixiong, Ye Mengding and others greeted each other and hurriedly said: "Childe, I signed a contract with overseas MSG, and the first batch of MSG is normal, but the second batch was detained by the Fuzhou Shipping Division in the name of contraband. Seeing that the delivery date is approaching, can I not be in a hurry? ”
"Boss Lin, do you have any conflicts with the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Division?"
I have heard Wen Tianxiang say that a new product like monosodium glutamate, before there is no express provision, belongs to the feasible and non-feasible items, and its definition right belongs to the local shipping divisions.
"Huyan Gongzi, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be, the silver taels I pay to the Fuzhou Ship Division every year are not a few, and I also have a good deal up and down the Ship Division in Pingyu, this is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing. Before Childe came, I also asked a lot of people to investigate, but this time the caliber of the ship division was unexpectedly consistent, and no one dared to reveal the slightest news. After thinking about it, I felt that the only thing that could be found was the Pu family in Quanzhou. ”
"The Pu family? What a person. ”
Ye Mengding next to him asked: "Boss Lin, is the Pu family you are talking about the Pu Shougeng family who once served as the supervisor of the Quanzhou ship?" ”
"Mr. Ye, exactly."
Ye Mengding introduced: "Speaking of this Pu Shou Geng, it can be regarded as a legend of my dynasty. Thirty years ago, in order to encourage Pu's Sino-foreign trade activities, the imperial court at that time also gave the Pu family the official title of "Chengjielang". After the death of his father, the Pu family once fell, after Pu Shou Geng, Pu Shou Sheng brothers inherited the family business, Chunyou ten years, Pu Shou Geng served as the supervisor of the Quanzhou ship, the Pu family quickly revitalized, and once again went to the peak. ”
Lin Zhixiong said: "After the MSG was sold on Fujian Road, the Pu family approached me several times, hoping that I would transfer the overseas MSG business to them, but I did not agree. I think it's because of this that Pu Shou Geng has great powers, and the officialdom on Fujian Road is very smooth, and even Lord Chen Xinshu on Fujian Road will give him face, and his brother Pu Shousheng is outstanding, good at poetry and songs, and has a close relationship with Master Shi, so the Pu family is fully capable of letting the Fuzhou Shipping Division detain the goods of our line. ”
"Pu family, Quanzhou Pu family?" I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while
