Zhao Qi made an evaluation in his heart, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked unhurriedly: "Miss Fang, don't you know the status of Shangjia in your country?" ”

The ancient system has always valued agriculture and suppressed business, and degraded merchants to a low place, Fang Tian knows this, modern thinking is deeply ingrained in her, she doesn't care about status at all, she cares more about the life in front of her than this.

Fang Tian sighed and said: "Maybe my woman's opinion is not long-term enough, compared to the status and life in the future, I care more about the days in front of me, how can I not see the embarrassing status quo of the previous days, or the things in front of me are more important."

Zhao Qi narrowed his eyes, recalling that day Fang Tian was forced to sell Damoran cheaply by a certain young lady, the preciousness of the orchid variety of Damoran, even he, an outsider, knew a little bit about it, not to mention that Fang Tian, an insider, must know more about the value of Damoran, if he was not forced to be cornered, how could he sell it to himself at such a low price?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had taken a big advantage by buying Da Moran for two hundred taels, and his tone couldn't help but soften a little: "Dare to ask what kind of business Miss Fang wants to do?" ”

If Fang Tian's thinking was clear, and he was even sure that he would do this so-called business safely, Zhao Qi would definitely choose to support him without hesitation, after all, for him, this time is different from the past, and the Shengguo Mansion is no longer the time when he used to be able to spend money.

Fang Tian paused, pondered for a moment before saying, "What I want to do is the spice business. ”

The spice business obtained in these words is rare, Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows lightly, and his eyes signaled him to continue to speak.

"Childe, you come from a big family, you must know how much the spice rouge is worth, and the woman likes these things the most, and the demand is large, even if the price is expensive, many rich wives tend to attach it. And I have secretly observed that there are not many shops specializing in spice and rouge in the vicinity, and most of the purchases are also from the Western Regions, if we can come up with other recipes to refine the spice and flavor that is not inferior to those shops specializing in rouge and gouache, they will definitely be willing to buy it. ”

Zhao Qi took a sip of tea, and the expression on his skin couldn't tell what the mood was: "Not to mention how you know the method of refining spice essence, how can you be sure that the spice essence you refine will definitely be bought?" ”

Fang Tian raised three fingers, his expression was quite firm: "I dare to assert this for three reasons. One is because those rouge gouache shops can save an expensive transportation cost if they buy the flavors and fragrances I refine, and the other is because the spices I can refine are unique, and they are rare and expensive. ”

Fang Tian paused, there was a faint smile on the corners of his eyes, but his expression and tone were steady and firm, and he said with great confidence: "I firmly believe that the spices I refine can be sold at a high price, as for why I dare to be so sure, it is not convenient to say now, when the time comes, the son will be able to understand what I mean." ”

Zhao Qi saw Fang Tian's confident expression, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. He has seen many official ladies, or gentle and virtuous, or noble and cold, or arrogant and domineering, he has never seen such a confident person, just like the empty valley orchid, even if no one appreciates it, but he understands that he has amazing talents, and he never feels sorry for himself.

In terms of Fang Tian's attitude, Zhao Qi was also willing to help her, so he nodded: "I'll help you." ”

Let's say that the Wang family's side, in the past two days, they have been buying orchids at a high price, and they have been gloomy all day long.

Wang Yingrou heard her father say that the orchids she bought at a high price not only could not help her family make money, but even lost money, so she was quite flustered and couldn't help crying several times.

The staff felt sorry for his daughter and didn't blame much, but Zhao Wenxuan was different, he was an outsider, he instigated his daughter to buy orchids at a high price, how could Wang Yuanwai not hate, for several days, he didn't give him a good face when he saw Zhao Wenxuan.

Zhao Wenxuan didn't sleep well for a few days, because he was afraid that he would suddenly wake up one morning, and the Wang family would send a letter of divorce.

The accounts must be calculated clearly, and the orchids piled up in their yards must also find a way to sell them, otherwise they will be left unattended and withered and rotted in the yard, which will be really a miserable loss.

Wang Yuan sent a more flexible little guy to take the orchids to the flower and bird market, and before leaving, the little guy specially instructed that no matter how low the price is, the orchids must be sold!

In Zhao Yuanwai's eyes, it is better to sell the orchid at a loss than to rot in his own yard.

The little guy led the orchid out of the door, thinking that this ordinary orchid would definitely not be sold, but the master's family had a life, where did he dare not obey, and he had to sell it if it was not good to sell, otherwise he would come back empty-handed, and he would inevitably be beaten.

In the crisp autumn weather, the little guy was sweating on his forehead, and he took the orchids to the flower and bird market, and squatted on the stall where Wang Yingrou sold flowers before.

Because Wang Yingrou's attitude towards selling flowers was not good, flowers and birds were actually just a few familiar faces, and they had long remembered that their orchids were high in price, the variety was not good, and the attitude was still bad, so no matter how the little guy lost his smile and lowered the price, no one cared.

The feng shui of this place is not good, the little guy thought to himself, his eyes rolled, and he wondered whether to report to the master to set up a stall in another place.

His eyes rolled, and somehow they landed on the young man who had wandered around the flower and bird market several times.

I saw the man, dressed in brocade clothes, with a piece of crystal jade hanging from his waist, looking at this dress, he looked like a merchant. Somehow, with an anxious look on his face, he went back and forth to the flower and bird market, as if he was looking for something.

He swayed, walked to the orchid stall next door, and picked up an orchid in the smiling face of the proprietress .

The little guy was standing, and he could see all the expressions on his face very clearly, at first there was an expectant look, then it gradually dimmed, and finally disappointed.

The merchant put down the orchid and sighed, and when he was about to brush his sleeves away, the little servant had an idea and shouted to him: "Wait! ”

Suddenly, your voice startled the foreign businessman in gorgeous clothes, looked around, and finally saw the little guy waving at him: "What is the matter with this little brother calling me?" ”

"I just saw you going back and forth between merchants, as if you were looking for something, dare to ask you if you are looking for orchids?"

The merchant nodded and said in a deep voice, "I'm a merchant from a neighboring town, and I've come here to look for a few special orchids. ”

As soon as the little girl heard that You You's play, she pointed to the orchids on her stall with a smile, and said happily: "All the orchids in my stall are orchids, why don't you take a look?" ”

The merchant was stunned, lowered his head, as if he had seen something terrible, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows showed a look of surprise, and he did not care about the etiquette of public places, and half-squatted down to look at the orchid, ecstatic.

The little guy has the most flexible brain, and when he saw his various reactions at this moment, he immediately realized that he could successfully solve the problem: "Dare to ask the nobleman, what kind of orchid is the orchid you are looking for?" ”

The merchant said in a trembling voice: "This is it, but I can find it easily!" ”

The little girl's eyes lit up when he heard this: "If you want to buy this orchid, you can go to our home to have a look." ”

"Dare to ask if you are an outsider, surnamed Wang? The orchids were bought from the neighboring town Orchid Village? The merchant's eyes lit up and he looked excited.

Over there, Wang Yingrou looked at the orchids in the courtyard and was still crying in a low voice.

Wang Yuanwai felt sorry for his daughter, and comforted him softly: "What's so bitter about this, things in the business field are inherently unstable, there are profits and losses, and the matter is only a hundred and ten taels of silver, is it worth your tears?" ”

Wang Yingrou held back her tears at this time, her eyes were red, she looked delicate like a flower, I felt pity: "Yingrou is ashamed, ashamed that she couldn't see through Fang Tian's little slut's conspiracy earlier, she was framed by her to buy so many orchids at a high price and couldn't sell them!" ”

Knowing that his daughter was obsessed, Wang Yuanwai sighed and echoed casually: "Okay, it's all her conspiracy, it's all her fault, you can wake up next time." ”

His eyes fell on the outside of the yard, because Wang Yingrou bought too many orchids that day, and there was really no place to place them, so they were placed in the yard in a mess, Wang Yuanwai couldn't help but sigh again, and said: "I hope these orchids can be sold, otherwise they will be piled up at home and rot in the yard, and it will be troublesome." ”

While the father and daughter were talking, a small servant suddenly broke in in a hurry, and said with a smile on his face: "Master, a guest surnamed Zhao came outside, saying that he came from a neighboring town to buy orchids." ”

Wang Yuanwai's eyes lit up, and he raised his feet and walked to the living room.

The merchant surnamed Zhao was sitting in the living room at the moment, or because of the goods, the next person offered hot tea, he didn't drink it, he kept pacing in the living room, and when he saw that the king was outside, he was slightly stunned, and then greeted him with a smile: "The contemptible people live in the neighboring town, and make a living by selling medicinal materials, and the orchids in the orchid village have always been bought by me before, and this year I heard that someone bought the orchids, so I came to take a look." ”

He looked a little anxious, held Wang Yuanwai's hand and said earnestly: "That orchid is not a precious variety, but it is very special to me, there is a big pharmacy in the thousand-year-old capital that has already said it, and when the orchid grows into medicinal materials this year, it will be sold to him together, and the deposit has been accepted." ”

Wang Yuanwai is also a businessman, and he knows what it means to accept the deposit, and the big stone in his heart suddenly falls, and he realizes that the orchids piled up in the yard will not rot in his home.

The merchant surnamed Zhao slowed down, and then said: "I wanted to buy medicinal materials early this year, but unfortunately something was delayed, I thought at the time, I have been doing business with Lan Village for several years, and the people in Lan Village are already familiar with it, presumably they will take care of the old feelings and leave the flowers to me, what I never expected is that when I arrived at the place, I had already been bought by Miss Guifu at a high price." ”

The merchant surnamed Zhao couldn't help but sigh and said: "I bought it, I bought it, there are always other places where this kind of orchid is grown, I plan to do so, so I went to the nearby place where the flowers are planted, but as a result, I couldn't find the same orchid!" ”

In the hall outside, Wang Yuanwai was talking to the medicinal herb merchant who came from afar, and he didn't realize that behind the screen, Wang Yingrou was eavesdropping.

Knowing that the medicinal herb merchant was anxious to buy orchids, Wang Yingrou was overjoyed, and thought that she wanted to make a false accusation, at least not at a loss!

Thinking like this, Wang Yingrou did the same, and was meeting guests outside, and it was inconvenient for the woman to go out to talk, so she called a small servant to pass on two sentences to the king, and the meaning of the words was to slander the businessman.

The merchant's ears were sharp, and he clearly heard the little man's words.

Wang Yuanwai's face was a little unbearable, and he smiled embarrassedly: "The little girl is not sensible, please forgive me." ”

The merchant didn't seem to be angry, just smiled bitterly, sighed and said: "You are also a businessman, you know that if a businessman wants to do business, he must always keep his promises. In this way, you can take me to see the growth of the orchid, the price or something, and we will discuss it later. ”

This request was reasonable, and Wang Yuanwai nodded: "Distinguished guests, please come with me." ”
