Today is the day when Tan Kee soap paste is officially listed.

Tietou was ordered to change into a new clothes, and he ran to wait for Xu Liang.

"Young master, this time we will go to Tan Ji for a banquet, how much silver should we seal as a gift?" Iron Head asked.

"Seal the silver? What kind of silver is sealed? Xu Liang was surprised and asked puzzled.

"Uh, let's go to someone's house to drink wine and eat meat, shouldn't we give some gift money when we come to the door?"

When Xu Liang heard this, he rolled his eyes strangely and said: "The surnamed Tan stole our Liang Ji's technology by such a subordinate, and now he invites us to have a meal and still wants Lao Tzu to give a gift?" Hmph, how can there be such a thing in the world, Lao Tzu can go and give him a lot of face. ”

"Oh, but...... I'm afraid that if I don't give a courtesy, I will be stopped at the door. ”

"So...... You just have to go empty, and don't put a penny in it! ”

"Huh? This, that's not right, right? "Iron head eats authentically.

"Don't let it go, don't let it go, are you a young master or am I a young master?!" Xu Liang was angry and reprimanded.

Tan Ji soap paste factory was selected at the end of Ximen Street in a very large house, Xu Liang arrived with an iron head, the three rows of eight immortal tables in the courtyard were almost full of people, the two brothers of the Tan family in Jianchang on the ground almost everyone knows, and many squires, landlords, businessmen, officials have inextricable connections.

It is Tan Ji's banquet with three sects and nine streams, and everyone has it. Familiar guests sat together, tasting melon seeds and side dishes, chatting and gossiping. A dozen guys who specially found food from major hotels to deliver food steadily shuttled between various seats with all kinds of hot and cold dishes.

With the door singing: "Jianchang County Master Xu Liang Xu has arrived!" ”

The two brothers of the Tan family heard the voice and came out together, Tan Erye arched his hand, seemed to be smiling, and said, "Lord Xu, a rare guest." ”

Uncle Tan frowned slightly when he heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Lord Xu, it's really brilliant that you can come, please come quickly." ”

Xu Liang had a shallow smile on his face, and as the two brothers of the Tan family came to the main seat of the main hall, when they passed through the flowing water seat in the courtyard, Xu Liang inadvertently saw three people sitting at a table in the corner of the wall, and as soon as his eyes made contact with Xu Liang, he turned his head down. Tietou leaned into Xu Liang's ear and whispered: "Young master, those three are Lin Youcai and the other two who resigned a few days ago, and those three killers were really bought by the Tan family." ”

Xu Liang nodded, then looked at Lin Youcai, who was looking down at the bottom of the table, sneered, and didn't say a word.

The chairman of the main hall, Shang Jianchang, Zhixian County, Lu Chengyuan, and Jiang Zhunan, the head of the county, were present, and Xu Liang smiled and saluted his colleagues from several county offices.

Lu Xian Cheng said with deep meaning: "Lord Xu, there was only one Liang Ji in Jianchang City in the past, and now there is another Tan Ji, so how can those of us who want to use soap paste choose in the future?" ”

Xu Liang didn't seem to notice Lu Xiancheng's deep meaning, and said with a smile: "There is a way to be radish and cabbage, each with its own dish, and Lord Lu will use whichever one he wants." ”

Seeing that the guests had basically arrived, Second Master Tan cleared his throat and said proudly: "Everyone, everyone! ”

Everyone chatting in the audience was silent when they heard the sound, and they all looked at Tan Erye.

"Today is a great day for the official opening of Tam Kee soap balm, thanks to all friends to see it, come together to witness the great moment of Tam Kee soap balm......"

Xu Liang sat upright and watched coldly as Second Master Tan stood there and delivered an affectionate speech.

Second Master Tan said triumphantly, and someone on the side stood in front of Second Master Tan with a plate covered with a red cloth.

Second Master Tan turned around, came to the front of Wang Zhixian, and arched his hand: "County honor, please also ask the county to unveil Tan Ji's soap cream." ”

"Oh, good." Wang Zhixian got up happily.

Xu Liang watched, and Second Master Tan glanced at Xu Liang with a provocative eye.

"Good !!"

When Wang Zhixian uncovered the red cloth on the plate, a burst of applause broke out in the flowing water seat in the courtyard. Wang Zhixian smiled and waved his hand and returned to his seat.

"Thank you to the county lord for unveiling the soap cream of Tan Ji!" Tan Erye waited for the applause to fall, and stepped forward to point to the four pale yellow, slightly gray soap paste that was placed upright on the plate and said: "Everyone, please see, this is Tan Ji soap cream, which is completely different from the Liang Ji soap paste that everyone was familiar with before, Tan Ji not only printed the Tan Ji logo on the outer wrapping paper, but also printed the words Tan Ji on the soap paste itself, and Tan Ji in line with the purpose of convenience for everyone and affordable people, I hereby solemnly announce that Tan Ji soap paste is only sold for four cents per piece!" ”

"Wow, Tan Ji is a penny cheaper than Liang Ji, but it's really affordable." There was a scream from the crowd.

"Yes," someone else said: "What kind of Liang Ji is that, it's just a vampire, and half a palm-sized piece of soap paste is actually sold for five cents, it's really dark." ”

"That's it, that's it."

Someone stood up and shouted: "Second Master Tan, your Tan Ji is really thinking about our people, and seeking benefits for our poor people, just rush to this point, in the future, my family, our village, will only use Tan Ji's soap ointment, let that Liang Ji, to hell with it!" ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, where did Second Master Tan find so many nurseries, he really acted like that.

"Hey, Second Master Tan, why does this official look at the many small black spots in this Tan Ji soap cream? Don't be left with dirt left inside without cleaning up, right? Xu Liang sneered and suddenly said in surprise.

Second Master Tan's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then he smiled and said, "Lord Xu's eyes are like torches, and this can be discovered by adults." Hey, that's what sets Tam Kee apart from Leung Kee. Tan Erye faced the public and said: "Tan Mou's Tan Ji, compared to Liang Ji, has a more peculiar thing is the "little black spot" that Lord Xu said, in fact, this is not a dirty thing at all, but Tan Ji specially added flower vanilla powder in order to increase the fragrance of Tan Ji soap cream, in order to let all the clothes washed with Tan Ji soap cream have a residual fragrance after drying! ”

As soon as Tan Erye's voice fell, he won another round of applause. Second Master Tan wiped his sweat, looked at a table on the edge of the courtyard, and glanced at Lin Youcai, who was sitting in danger, and secretly said Fortunately, this Lin Youcai was a little anxious, and he could actually think of using pollen to cover up the black spots on the soap cream.

The banquet finally began.

Uncle Tan Zhicheng saw that Xu Liang was picking up chopsticks to pick vegetables to eat at the main table, and he didn't talk much, he wanted to ease the relationship between the Tan family and Xu Liang, so he came to Xu Liang with a wine glass, raised his glass and said: "Lord Xu, I heard that Lord Xu made zuò soap paste at the earliest, and now the younger brother has also made a Tan Ji, and in the future, he will not compete with Lord Xu's Liang Ji. ”

Xu Liang swallowed the pickled duck tongue in his mouth, picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly with Uncle Tan, and said with a slight smile: "Where does Uncle Tan say, friends belong to friends, business belongs to business, Second Master Tan can make Tan Ji prosperous, and it is also Second Master Tan's ability." Xu can only admire, where can he blame. ”

"In that case, thank you very much." Uncle Tan said with a smile.

Second Master Tan also walked over with a cup and shook his arms, and said with a grin: "Lord Xu, the price of Tan Ji soap cream is only four texts, I wonder if the price of Liang Ji will also be adjusted?" ”

Xu Liang smiled: "Liang Ji has been a box of five texts since it left the factory, Tong Su is not deceived, honest management, and there is no reason to reduce the price for nothing because there is more Tan Ji on the market." ”

"Haha, Tan knows that Master Xu is a tough guy, a real man!" Tan Erye stretched out his thumb and boasted, but he sneered in his heart, if the price is not reduced, Liang Ji will wait for the accumulation of goods to become a mountain and close the door.

After the Tan Ji banquet, the two brothers of the Tan family personally sent the officials of Jianchang County to leave. When the two returned to the main hall, the doorman who received the gift hurriedly came over with a red envelope.

"Second master, there is nothing in this envelope, it is an empty envelope!"

"Hey, are you really eating white food these days?" When Second Master Tan heard this, he smiled and said to his eldest brother, "Who's it, so unruly?" ”

"Yes...... It's the master of Xu's book! ”

Second Master Tan choked and asked in surprise, "Who's?" ”

"Second master, it belongs to Lord Xu Liangxu, the chief bookkeeper of the Yamen of Jianchang County!" Menzi said loudly this time.

The two brothers of the Tan family looked at each other when they heard this, and they couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

Xu Liang came out of Tan Ji and walked on the West Gate Street with an iron head.

"Ah Tie, did you find anything in Tan Ji today?" Xu Liang asked.

"Hmm...... The braised pork knuckle on the banquet tastes really good! ”

Xu Liang rolled his eyes and said angrily: "If I let you come, do you just know how to eat?" ”

The iron head smiled, "Could it be that the young master has made a new discovery?" ”

Xu Liang nodded and said: "If you want to say that this Tan Zhisheng is not all useless, at least there are two ways for him to use Tan Ji soap paste that are still worth learning from Liang Ji." One of them is to directly mark Tan Ji's character on the soap cream, which is very good, and we will do the same in the future. ”

"And what about the second one?" Iron Head thought for a moment and nodded.

"Another point, he added spices to the soap paste to increase the fragrance of the soap paste, which was also very unexpected by Young Master Ben."

"But, young master," Tie Tou disagreed this time, he hesitated: "If our Liang Ji soap paste is also mixed with pollen, it will make the originally translucent soap paste become numb and numb, it doesn't seem to look good, right?" ”

Xu Liang slanted his iron head proudly and said, "Are you the kind of person who is the young master of this book?" What Young Master Ben is best at is that the magic is one foot high and the road is one foot high. How could this young master adopt such an idiotic idea as sprinkling pollen directly on the soap cream, I think I Xu Liang is also a top student of a prestigious school...... Alas, you don't understand it, when the young master extracts the liquid essence directly from the flower, Ah Tie, you will understand what's going on. ”

Xu Liang pointed to the side of the street and said to Tietou: "This is like the girl who sells tofu, Ah Tie, you see, this girl is slender, Ana is a beautiful embryo at a glance, it is ...... Alas! ”

"It's just that there are too many spots on the face...... Tietou glanced at Xu Liang's gesture and followed with deep regret.

"Ahh Xu Liang said: "If our Liang Ji soap paste is also mixed with pollen in it, wouldn't it be as good as this girl, and it is a pity to have this good skin in vain." ”

"You two scoundrels, what are you doing pointing fingers at this girl?!" The girl in Xu Liang's mouth crossed her waist and shouted fiercely at Xu Liang and the others.

When Xu Liang heard this, his face was suddenly full of justice and awe, his eyes looked at Tietou very shamelessly, and reprimanded: "Ah Tie, this is your fault, the girl's face is only slightly flawed, and it does not hinder the appearance of the city, you can laugh at it in a whisper behind your back, how can you point fingers in front of the big girl?!" ”

"I ...... How can I have! The iron head was stunned, eating authentically.

When the spotted girl heard this, she was so angry that her eyebrows rose up, and she turned her head and screamed: "Brother! Here are two scoundrels bullying me! ”

Xu Liang was startled by the girl's scream, and hurriedly explained: "Girl, you misunderstood, we didn't deceive ...... What the? It's your brother who sells pork?! ”

Xu Liang pulled the iron head that was still stunned, turned his head and ran.

"Those two thieves, don't run away, eat your horse master's axe! Your grandma is a bear! Three or four stalls away from the girl selling tofu, a big man with a big waist and a round waist and muscles danced a big axe to cut pork bones in his hand, and pointed at Xu Liang who fled in the desert and scolded with great vigour.
