Chapter 42: Fu Ru'an
As soon as he stepped into the door of the Moon Tower, Ye Zhen sensed that something was wrong.
In the hall on the first floor, which was originally full of people every day, it was when there were many diners, and there was no one in sight.
The entire Moon Tower was quiet, only Xiao Er was guarding the door and staircase with his body down, looking cautious.
However, Ye Hao didn't have time to think about it, and was directly taken to the box on the second floor.
When he arrived at the door, Steward Liu stopped, bowed very respectfully to the closed door, and said in a loud voice:
"Report to the owner, Mrs. Xie has arrived."
As soon as the voice landed, the door of the box opened from the inside out, accompanied by a slightly muffled male voice.
"Mrs. Xie, please come in."
Ye Hao saw the four or five big men guarding the door, paused, and then walked towards the door with his steps.
I still think in my heart, I really deserve to be a big family, and the pomp is really big enough!
Although the original owner is also a noble-born Houfu concubine, she is also very flamboyant and domineering on weekdays, but she has not experienced these things in person after all.
The memories in my mind are just like the TV series I watched in my previous life, they are just fantasies, and they can't give me real feelings.
Ye Hao had just walked into the door, and before she could look at the scene in the room, the sound of the door closing behind her sounded.
"Mrs. Xie, please take a seat."
The voice she had heard before sounded again, and it seemed to be not far in front of her.
Ye Zhen searched for the sound and passed through a screen, and the scene inside was really revealed.
A man in a silver-white robe was standing at the window looking out, behind him a table full of dishes, and four or five maids waiting.
The previous voice was not from the mouth of the silver-robed man, but from a middle-aged man in blue beside him.
"Mrs. Xie, please take a seat."
The middle-aged man smiled gently at Ye Hao, arranged for her to sit on the table, and then set his eyes on his master.
The silver-robed man who was being supported by him turned around, revealing an extremely bewitching face, and at first glance, it was difficult to distinguish between male and female.
Ye Hao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, and quickly stood up to greet the other party.
"I heard that you are the owner of Mochizuki Tower, and you came to disturb you today."
"Madame, please be seated."
The silver-robed man's expression was indifferent, and he waved his hand and motioned for Ye Hao to sit down.
Although his appearance is beautiful and he can't distinguish between men and women, his voice is obviously male, but he feels a little weak.
As soon as Ye Hao sat down, he heard the man opposite coughing in a low voice, and his wheezing was much heavier.
Seeing this, the man in blue who was supporting him immediately stretched out a hand and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, put the porcelain bottle between the man's nose, and stayed for a moment before retracting it.
After doing this, the silver-robed man's face instantly improved a lot, but it was still extremely pale.
Tsk, what a pity.
silently complained in her heart, although Ye Jun is not a big nymphomaniac, but at the moment of beauty, she can't avoid the urge to admire.
Although there are two men in the family, Xie Yunshu and Lin Bin, who are also excellent, everyone's style is different.
Thinking of Lin Bin, she glanced back, and the former was standing behind her obediently.
Ye Hao just wanted to say something to let the other party sit down, after all, Lin Bin is not his servant, no matter how he says it, he can be regarded as a friend.
As soon as the man in blue on the opposite side helped the silver-robed man to sit down, he said to Ye Hao apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Xie. My master fell ill in his mother's womb, and his body is not as good as day by day, so he rarely goes out to speak, and I hope you can understand. ”
Ye Hao, who was interrupted, came back to her senses and hurriedly waved her hand.
"It's not in the way, you still have to rest well when you're sick."
When she saw the other party's sick appearance, it was estimated that it was some kind of congenital heart disease, and such a disease was extremely terrible for modern people.
What's more, what about such ancient times when medical skills were not developed?
"Then thank you Madame for your understanding!"
The man in blue bowed slightly to Ye Hao, and after expressing his gratitude, he waved his hand and drove the other maids out of the house.
Waiting for the maids to leave one after another, he put his eyes on Lin Bin behind Ye Hao, and hesitated for a while before he slowly spoke.
"What I'm going to talk to you about is a bit important, you see?"
When it came to this, Ye Hao understood what he meant, hesitated, and was just about to turn around to discuss with Lin Bin, who walked to the door by himself very sensibly.
Seeing this, Ye Hao didn't stop her.
The owner of Mochizuki Tower is not small, otherwise it would not make the local county officials quite jealous.
It is always not small to let the owner come over in person, and the matter to discuss with himself is never small, but it is still necessary to avoid people's eyes.
For Lin Bin, Ye Hao herself naturally trusts her very much, but she also has to take into account the thoughts of the people on the side of Wangyue Tower.
Fortunately, Lin Bin was not a wood, and after hearing the meaning of the man in blue, he took the initiative to leave the box.
Seeing that the box was completely cleared, the man in blue said quietly:
"My owner is not feeling well, so it is not appropriate to speak more, and the specific matters will be discussed with you."
Ye Hao nodded slightly, she didn't mind the relationship between master and servant.
But it was precisely because of her calm and calm state that the silver-robed man sitting opposite couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at her more.
"First of all, we are very grateful to Mrs. Xie for the recipes you provide, which makes our Wangyue Tower in Qingcheng also very profitable."
After bowing slightly in respect, the man in blue continued:
"Secondly, we want to seek your consent, there are about six or seven Mochizuki Towers in the Lingnan area, and there is one in almost every county town. Our owner thought about distributing this recipe to everyone, of course, we will still give your dividends, I don't know what Mrs. Xie thinks? ”
The benefits brought by the two dishes of spicy stir-fried snails and braised yellow eel were not even expected by the man in blue.
He is one of the best stewards of the Fu family, and when the eldest lady was still there, he also led more than a dozen shops in the Fu family.
In terms of business experience and vision, it was extremely vicious, but it turned over on these two dishes.
The Fu family is a well-known merchant family in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is involved in many fields, which can be called a rich country.
The silver-robed man sitting in front of Ye Hao was the eldest son of the Fu family's generation, Fu Ru'an.
Fu Ru'an was a premature baby, born with a disease, and was diagnosed and treated as no more than five years old. But he stumbled, but he persevered for so many years, and he grew to be twenty years old.
But his mother also fell ill because of that childbirth and died a year ago.
People walk tea cool.
Fu Ru'an's father looked down on this eldest son who was delicate and frail, and could only lie in the back house every day to recuperate.
As soon as his mother died, he couldn't wait to marry a new family, and under the prodding of the other party, he drove the frail eldest son out of Jiangnan and went to a wild place like Lingnan.
It is also called in the name of training.
Fortunately, the former eldest lady has mastered the lifeblood of the Fu family for a long time, and there are many loyal servants around her.
Even though the stewards around Fu Ru'an are extremely smart, the Lingnan region is already poor, and he can't turn it over no matter what.
Only the two dishes that cooperated with Ye Hao this time brought a glimmer of hope to their declining business.
The Fu family is rich and rivals the country, Fu Ruan will naturally not be short of money, no matter how he is the eldest son, his father will not wait to see him, he still has to give.
Whether it is the elders of the clan or Fu Ru'an's maternal grandfather, they will not allow one of his eldest sons to be bullied at home.
Although there is an excuse for being released, it is not something that the Fu family can do to squeeze an eldest son.
"Of course I agree, but ......"
If you don't make money, you don't make it for nothing, Ye Hao didn't think that she would have trouble with money. Whether it's taking care of the family's food, clothing, shelter and transportation, or preparing for the future, money is an essential thing.
Now that the owner of Mochizuki Tower has been sent to her, she will definitely not refuse.
But Ye Hao also has another concern, she knows very well that these two dishes will be limited by the season.
"Whether it's snails or yellow eels, these two main ingredients are hard to find after autumn."
Gritting her teeth, Ye Hao was still ready to tell the truth. Mochizuki Lou treated her well, and the other party's owner personally dragged her seriously ill body over to thank her, she couldn't pit others with her conscience.
Hearing her words, the man in blue's expression was slightly stunned, and soon a smile bloomed again.
"Naturally, we have already figured out this point, and we want to take advantage of the last two months to develop this business as much as possible."
These big stewards of the Fu family are much more business-minded than Ye Hao, and they have already discovered this fatal shortcoming.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that Ye Hao would say this so frankly.
When others do business with others, it is too late to cover up their own shortcomings, how can they say it so frankly and directly.
Based on this alone, the master and servant of the Fu family have a better impression of Ye Hao.
Fu Ruan even said directly:
"Mrs. Xie is open-minded, and we don't have to hide it anymore."
After saying this, he turned his head and glanced at the man in blue.
The man who received the signal hurriedly nodded and continued to Ye Hao:
"And the third and most important thing is that our proprietors want to work with you to buy spices."
"Spices?"
As soon as this word came out, Ye Hao was a little confused, and glanced at the two of them blankly.
When the system gave her her first gift pack, she wanted to draw some food to get through the difficulties, but she ended up drawing a spice gift pack, which made people laugh and cry.
Fortunately, the things produced by the system are good in terms of quality and quantity. When handing over the two dishes of spicy stir-fried snails and braised yellow eel to the chef of Mochizuki Tower, Ye Hao gave most of the seasonings she needed to the other party in a friendly way, leaving only a small part that could meet her daily needs.
But she really didn't think about the seasoning market, Ye Hao is not a professional businessman after all, and her sensitivity to business is not very high.
In her opinion, those spices can only be regarded as an auxiliary role, and she does not take it to heart.
Now that the other party mentioned this, she realized that there was indeed a business opportunity in this matter.
At that time, the reason why she gave the seasoning to Mochizuki Tower was because she found that seasonings like chili, ginger, and pepper were not available in this era.
Moreover, in this dynasty, the development of culinary skills was not very high, most of them were cooked by boiling, steaming and roasting, and even stir-frying was rarely used.
If it hadn't been for the person on the other side, she wouldn't have reacted to this level.
"How do you want to work together?"
Ye Hao, who looked at each other curiously, thought in her heart, she once glanced at the price of spices in the system mall, and it seemed to be very cheap.
