Huo Roufeng was originally just curious about White Narcissus, but now it's not just curious.

She called Baotian and said, "Go to the Sihai Teahouse, and let Bai Shuixian come to the house to tell the story in three days." ”

She arranged this matter and left it behind.

Because in the afternoon of the same day, Huo Roufeng received an invitation from Su Qian, asking her to go to Lao Cangzhou in the west of the city the next morning to drink sheep soup and eat sheep intestines.

What should have come is still coming.

Early the next morning, Huo Roufeng took Zhang Ting and Zhang Xuan to Lao Cangzhou.

Su Qian had been waiting there for a long time, he was dressed in a fine cloth and a bamboo hairpin, sitting elegantly and leisurely in the corner.

Huo Roufeng raised her eyebrows lightly, Su Qian didn't wait for her in the private room.

Although the store in Lao Cangzhou is not big, there are also two private rooms, because it is an early business, so few people usually go to the private rooms, and there is no need to book in advance, and the private rooms are empty.

So Su Qian just didn't want to go to the private room, not nothing.

Huo Roufeng walked over with Zhang Ting and Zhang Xuan, she sat opposite Su Qian, and Zhang Ting and Zhang Xuan stood behind her like two generals.

Su Qian didn't bring an entourage, and the other guests who were using breakfast at the table had no entourage.

Therefore, Huo Jiuye and his entourage, who are brightly dressed and decorated with pearls on their heads, are particularly abrupt, making the walls of this small breakfast restaurant shine.

Ever since Huo Roufeng walked in from the door, Su Qian looked at her intently, his gaze followed Huo Roufeng until Huo Roufeng sat in front of him.

He smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Huo Jiuye is even more energetic." ”

Huo Roufeng bowed his hand to him: "Mr. Su is polite." ”

The smile in Su Qian's eyes deepened, this was obviously not the place to talk in detail, but he didn't need to talk about Huo Jiu's matter in detail.

Do you have to bargain with a child to do things for King Qing?

He said: "I heard that the caravan of the Huo family cooperates with the horse gang in Yunnan? ”

The thoughts in Huo Roufeng's heart turned quickly, and she was faintly uneasy, and she said, "That's true. ”

Su Qian said again: "I heard that there are some things in Yunnan that are not available in the Central Plains, I don't know what they are?" ”

Huo Jiudao: "Yunnan people are good at making tea, there is a kind of Pu'er tea, that is, they make tea leaves into brick tea and tea cakes, which can be stored for a long time, in addition to Yunnan red Yunnan green and Tuo tea, my caravan brought the goods from the Central Plains to Yunnan and sold them to the caravan, and then bought tea from the caravan and transported it back to the Central Plains. ”

Su Qian said: "I have also heard of this kind of brick tea and tea cakes you said, but I have never seen or drunk it, where did your caravan sell this kind of tea?" ”

Huo Roufeng said: "Jiangnan has produced tea since ancient times, and the capital likes Jiangnan tea and Fujian tea, so Yunnan's tea is sold to Liangguang, and Mr. Su has never seen it in the capital." ”

Su Qian smiled faintly: "Is there this kind of tea in Lord Huo's mansion?" If you can send some to the prince, the prince has good tea, and he will be very happy to come. ”

Huo Roufeng said with a smile: "I don't know if there is, I have to go back and see, Mr. Su, don't laugh, the family that sells tea may not have all kinds of tea." ”

But he didn't say whether he would send it to Prince Qing.

Su Qian smiled secretly in his heart, this Huo Jiu was as slippery as a loach at a young age, and he didn't know what kind of character the famous Huo lady in Jiangnan was.

Served early, each person has a bowl of lamb intestines, as well as roast cakes and sheep's head pounded garlic, lamb tripe, sheep's trotters and sweet garlic.

Huo Roufeng's appetite was greatly aroused, and she ate feverishly, and when she ate the second bowl of sheep intestines, she found that Su Qian, who was sitting opposite her, didn't even move her chopsticks.

"Mr. Su, don't you like this?" She picked up a piece of sheep intestine with her chopsticks and pointed at it.

Su Qian said: "I'm from Zhejiang, and I'm not used to eating these." ”

When Su Qian said this, he thought that Huo Jiu would say, then let's change places next time.

But he guessed wrong, he clearly heard Huo Jiu say: "Then don't let Xiao Er put the sheep intestines in front of you next time, this restaurant business is very hot, the sheep intestines will be gone if you come late, and you won't eat it, it's a waste, what a pity." ”

As she spoke, Huo Jiu beckoned Xiao Er to come over again, she wanted to eat the third bowl.

Xiao Er gave her a thousand words and said with a smile: "This young master, it's really unfortunate, the sheep intestines in our shop are sold out, can you serve you a bowl of mutton soup?" ”

Huo Jiu glanced at Su Qian, and then at the bowl of untouched sheep intestines in front of Su Qian, as if he was saying to Su Qian: "Just because of you, I have eaten one less bowl of Ninth Master." ”

When Su Qian walked out of Lao Cangzhou, he only felt very tired, tired all over, too tired.

Huo Roufeng sat in the carriage home, touching her bulging belly, thinking about what Su Qian had said.

King Qing wants to do the tea business in Yunnan with the Huo family.

The reason why tea in Yunnan is difficult to buy in other places is because of the horse gang over the years, the horse gang has firmly grasped the tea business in Yunnan, when the Huo master was alive, the caravan of the Huo family had a conflict with the horse gang, the Huo family lost more than 50 people, it took a year to negotiate with the horse gang, and later sent Chu Qing over, and the business in Yunnan gradually stabilized.

King Qing had the vision and actually saw this line.

This line seems to be dangerous, but in fact, it is a steady profit, and the emperor is far away, unlike Wuxi Rice Market, which is the target of public criticism, the reason why the Huo family can make a lot of money in Yunnan is because it is outstanding, except for the Huo family, no one can stretch out their hands over.

King Qing wants to intervene in Yunnan, not only to earn money, but also to avoid the imperial historian without knowing it.

Huo Roufeng returned to Shuangjing Hutong, and was about to go back to his yard to change his clothes and go to see Mrs. Huo again, when she saw the first-class girl Luyun next to her sister standing at the Hanging Flower Gate.

"Ninth Master, the eldest lady has been waiting for you, let you go and see her when you come back."

Huo Roufeng had no choice but to ask Luyun: "What does my body smell like?" ”

Lu Yun sniffed helplessly: "A smell of sheep's flesh." ”

Huo Roufeng took out the small glass bottle from her collar, hung it on her chest, and asked, "What does it smell like now?" ”

Lu Yun smiled: "The peach tastes." ”

Huo Roufeng was happy: "Okay, go see my sister." ”

Mrs. Huo sat at the kang table, flipping through the account book with one hand and crackling with the other.

Huo Roufeng kicked her shoes and climbed onto the kang, picked out a plum from the box and put it in her mouth, she ate a little bit today, and she needed to eat a plum to eliminate her appetite.

Mrs. Huo took the pen and made a mark on the account book, then closed the account book, put the abacus and the account book aside, and asked, "What are the plans of King Qing?" ”

Huo Roufeng said: "I want to meddle in our family's business in Yunnan." ”

As she spoke, she said what Su Qian had said.

Mrs. Huo frowned and sneered: "This is really the power of a fisherman." ”

The Huo family opened the Yunnan trade route with blood, and King Qing was going to stick in with it.
