Chapter 52 Agreement

Zhao Ta saw that only one came, and he didn't care, Zheng Xi was already out of the game in his heart, and there were some things better to say without him being in the way. He accompanied Zheng Yu to the garden, in fact, there is really nothing better at this season, the plum has already bloomed, only a few residual flowers are still hanging on the branches, and some hardy flowers and plants have just flashed a little green. The two of them 'toured' aimlessly in the garden for more than an hour, and Zhao Ta, who kept the secret of the greenhouse, did not hide it from him, and even invited him to go around.

"Uncle, how about you taste this wine?" When they were tired of walking, they came to the warm pavilion in the garden to rest, Zhao Ta ordered the wine and food to be put on the table, and he poured a glass of wine for Zheng Yu and asked.

Zheng Yu sat there at this time in a daze, his face seemed to be calm, but his heart seemed to be boiling a pot, a new thing appeared in Beijing a few years ago, and fresh vegetables and vegetables that were only on the market in summer suddenly appeared on the market, not only variety, but also fresh, causing a sensation, and the powerful families rushed to buy them regardless of the high price. The Guogong Mansion also sent people to buy, but did not catch up with the first batch, paid a deposit to buy a few things in the year, when the treasure was hidden, he also sighed that there would be such a strange person in the world, but I didn't expect to see it here today.

"This wine is a shochu bar?" Hearing Zhao Ta's advice to drink, Zheng Yu came to his senses, picked up the cup and took a sip and asked in surprise, they have been in the house for many days, although there is wine, but they have not tasted this legendary soju.

"Exactly, the second uncle and the younger uncle have been in my house for many days, I'm afraid that's what it's for!" Zhao Ta took a bite of food and chewed it, and said with a smile.

It is rumored that the prince born to his sister in Beijing does not like to sing poetry and paint, but he likes KitKat, and after leaving the palace, he has become absurd, stubborn and abnormal, and even dares to play with the messenger, but after he came here and contacted it a few times, he found that his nephew was by no means as unbearable as the legend outside. "This, this... That's what it means! Zheng Yu was told by Zhao Ta, although they were nephews, they also felt embarrassed, looking at his innocent face with a playful smile, they had to admit it.

"I also have this intention, I want to co-operate with others to set up a liquor shop, specializing in the production of soju, I wonder if Uncle Lu Dao is willing?" Zhao Ta stared at Zheng Yu and asked.

"Of course I do!" Zheng Yu replied without hesitation, that's what they did, how could they be unwilling.

"Little uncle, but I don't see that you have the sincerity to cooperate, these days you have frequent meetings with a few stewards in private, don't you just want to get the secret recipe for soju, get rid of me and eat alone!" Zhao Ta suddenly changed his face and said.

"Tatar, we're all family, how could we..." Zheng Yu hurriedly defended, but looking at Zhao Ta's sneering face, his voice became smaller and smaller, turning into a mosquito humming, although most of the things were done by the second brother, but it was always a glorious thing to steal the property of the junior behind his back, and now that Zhao Ta said a word, he failed to dissuade him, and he felt extremely ashamed.

"Little uncle, although I am a prince, but you can also see that now I have provoked my father and the emperor, and I have been 'assigned' to this remote enemy, thanks to my grandfather and uncles who do not give up and take care of me in many ways, I can live to this day!" Zhao Ta changed his words and thought of their benefits again, "Knowing kindness is not a gentleman, since I got this recipe and let my grandfather know, I just want the two families to do this thing together and make money together, but the two uncles disappointed me!" Zhao Ta said 'heartbroken'.

"Ta'er, it's all our fault for being greedy for a while and betraying your kindness, this matter will end here, I will go back to Beijing tomorrow to return to my father!" Zheng Yu felt that this thing was really embarrassing, and he didn't have the face to stay here anymore.

"Little uncle, I know that you are an honest man, most of the things are done by the second uncle, if you return empty-handed, I'm afraid you will have to carry the black cauldron, and I'm afraid your life will be even more difficult then!" Zhao Ta gave Zheng Yu a mouthful of food and said.

"Then what's the solution, everyone in the Guogong Mansion calls me Shenggongzi, in fact, I don't speak as well as a steward, I have to listen to your second uncle in everything, I can't be the master!" Zheng Yu drank all the wine in the cup and said with a wry smile.

"Alas, our grandfather is almost the same, although I am a prince, but I am not as comfortable as a country man, and now I am hiding here, but there are still people chasing me and trying to kill me, these are not all that... Is it a fuss? Zhao Ta filled him with wine again and said with a sigh. ,

"Yes, our two masters are like two bitter gourds growing on a vine, each with its own difficulties!" Zheng Yu drank the wine again, he understood his nephew's words, he also had an elder brother born to the queen, and it was not his turn to talk about the long throne, but some people were still afraid that he would grow up in the future, and they had to try their best to get rid of him.

Zheng Yu took a closer look at his nephew, he had forehead lines on his forehead at a young age, and thought secretly: "No wonder my nephew sees things clearly, he lives in a conspiracy every day, and his mother is not around, if he doesn't have more eyes, I'm afraid he would have been calculated a long time ago, and the child who no one cares about is precocious!" Zhao Ta's words successfully resonated with him, and as an elder, he had already started to protect him.

"Actually, there is nothing in this recipe, the two uncles asked for it, I just gave it to the uncle, what can I do, just when I respect the elders, but the second uncle really shouldn't use this kind of means that can't be put on the table, it makes me chill, how can we say that we are also a family!" Zhao Tan looked at it with a sad look and was about to cry, but suddenly he stood up and instructed Jianxi: "Jianxi, you go and get the recipe and give it to the little uncle to take back!" ”

"Wait, Tatar, how can your uncle enter your mansion in the future!" Zheng Yu grabbed Jianxi, who was about to go out, and said, he didn't know whether he was drinking or ashamed, anyway, his face was as red as a monkey's buttocks.

"Where do you say that, my uncle here can come at any time, and Ta'er will definitely still greet him!"

"Tatar, listen to your uncle first!" Zheng Yu pulled Zhao Ta to sit down again, drank another glass of wine and said: "Ta'er, you are still young, I don't know the value of this soju, as long as you have it, you can become a beggar in half a year, and your second uncle is really because of this temptation and forgets that we are a family!" Zheng Yu finally told the truth.

"I really don't know this, but the eldest husband has said it, the horse is difficult to chase, and if you send it, you will send it, and you will get it when you see it!" Zhao Ta was 'unmoved' and still commanded.

Seeing that Xi agreed, but his movements were slow like a snail, and he couldn't help but slander in his heart: You didn't know how to see the ghost, when you got it, you said what kind of chicken is this that lays golden eggs! At this time, you are pretending to be confused, and you are saying that you are righteous, and you are not coaxing your uncle to play, and besides, you made this thing, what is the recipe, where can I go up and get it?

"Tatar, in fact, your grandfather has already explained this matter when we came, and it is best for you to set up a joint venture to set up a winery, so that both parties can benefit; If you want to set up your own sake brewery, he is willing to help you build it, as long as he sells us some of the wine. Zhao Ta said all this, Zheng Yu felt that he was ashamed to find a crack in the ground to get into, and he couldn't care about it in a hurry, so he leaked the bottom.

It seems that Jiang is still old and spicy, if the two uncles had already said according to the old man's explanation, they were grateful, and they would not let them run empty no matter what, it would be a matter of fame and fortune. In addition, although he is out of favor now, maybe one day when the emperor is happy, the throne will fall on his head, and then he will definitely repay the favor and will not take advantage of him in vain. Zhao Ta sighed in his heart, the old man not only stood high and looked far, but also had a broad mind and looked at money openly!

"Oh, that's exactly what Grandpa said?" Zhao Ta asked 'seriously', and Zheng Yu nodded affirmatively.

"Alas, I really can't repay my grandfather's kindness, if I don't obey my fate, I will do it according to my grandfather's wishes, we will set up a wine shop in a joint stock, and divide it into fifty or fifty!" Zhao Ta knew that he was too full of words just now, and the little uncle was a real person, if he didn't hurry up to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, he probably wouldn't be able to get down, so he immediately pushed the boat down the river and agreed to come down.

"Ta'er, no, we divide the account in three or seven, you seven and I three, and the money for building the wine shop is also paid by us, and we also take a big advantage!"

"This..." This time it was Zhao Ta's turn to be stupid, what he liked to do the most was 'you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust', he thought that there would be a dispute over the share, but now his uncle took the initiative to give up, and the back hand he prepared was useless, like a fist hitting cotton.

Zhao Ta is not afraid of the hard, he is afraid of the soft, after repeated pushing, finally reached a consensus, Zhao Ta accounted for 60% of the shares, providing the technology of brewing shochu, the site of the construction of the distillery and part of the working capital, the Zheng family accounted for 40% of the shares, responsible for the construction of the distillery, recruiting the required manpower, and responsible for the promotion of the wine.

"Little uncle, we talked for a long time, what should I do if the second uncle doesn't agree?" Zhao Ta suddenly thought of this question.

"Ta'er, you don't have to worry, I'm in charge of this matter, I'll immediately repair the book to inform you of what happened to your grandfather here, and his old man will definitely agree!" Zheng Yu said with a smile that he felt more happy than he had ever felt today, and he finally became a family member again.

Zhao Tan smiled secretly, and said that the wine is strong and intimidating, this soju is fifty degrees, and the little uncle is afraid that he really drank too much today. However, this also achieved the satisfaction of both parties, but it only made the second uncle Zheng Xi bitter, and he was not a person inside and out.

On the same day, Zheng Yu and Zhao Ta wrote a letter respectively, and found a safe nursing home to send it to the Guogong Mansion. In addition to expressing his gratitude to his grandfather, Zhao also recommended his uncle Zheng Yu as the chief shopkeeper of the new liquor shop, and he was fully responsible for handling all the affairs of the soju.

······

The capital is only more than 100 miles away from Xiangyi, and it only takes two days to run back and forth, and on the third day, the letter from the old prince entered the door almost at the same time as Zheng Xi. Zheng Shen fully agreed with the cooperation agreement negotiated between Zheng Yu and Zhao Ta, and the manpower and funds allocated by the government arrived later, allowing Zheng Yu to stay in the palace to take care of everything, and strictly ordered Zheng Xi to return to Beijing immediately without delay.
