When he arrived at the half-side door, Fan Yongxin said excitedly: "This is the half-side door?" I heard it a few days ago that I haven't been here yet. I heard that people who come here to eat are either rich or expensive, and even if they are rich, they may not be able to eat. Many people around me are proud to be able to eat here, and I originally wanted to come and try it, but there are too many things at home, and I have never had the opportunity to come. ”

"That's good, when you are free, I will arrange a separate table for you. Moreover, even in the poetry meeting of the garden a few days ago, I will make you a jar of wine. Long Zhan said generously.

"Ah, thank you so much, Brother Zhan." Fan Yongxin was flattered, he hadn't heard some things about Banbianmen these days, and if he wanted to eat here, he didn't have any power, so he really couldn't.

Even if their family has money, they may not be able to arrange it. Moreover, Long Zhan also said that he would give him a jar of poetry immortal wine that became famous at the Yuyuan Poetry Conference, which made him even more excited.

He had heard that the Shixian wine had been praised by the great Confucians like Xu Fuzi, and many dignitaries in Suzhou City were said to have spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy a jar.

Unexpectedly, Brother Zhan would now directly open his mouth to give him an altar, which made him very moved.

"Thanks, we're buddies." Long Zhan said: "Moreover, the last time you came, I told you that after the boss of Fog Hidden City came, I would help you arrange a table of banquets, but I didn't expect this to happen." But it's okay, he didn't come with you, it's because he is not blessed. I don't have anything to eat here. Fan Yongxin nodded again and again, as if he had returned to the days when he followed the third young master before.

Entering half of the door, the shopkeeper Huang immediately came to say hello, and his attitude was extremely respectful.

"Third Young Master." Long Zhan nodded and asked, "What about Miss Huo?" Shopkeeper Huang replied: "Huo Ye came just now and was talking to Miss on the third floor. ”

"Huo Ye is here?" Long Zhan thought about it for a while, and he could understand it. Something like that happened last night, as a father, of course Huo Ye had to come over to see his daughter.

Long Zhan snorted and asked again, "Did the news that asked you to inquire yesterday have any results?" Shopkeeper Huang nodded and was about to speak.

Long Zhan said, "Go to the backyard and talk." ”

"Yes." The group went to the backyard again. Long Zhan stood with his hands in his hands and asked, "What's the situation?" The shopkeeper Huang was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Fan Yongxin coming from behind, and quickly stopped.

Long Zhan said: "He is my brother, there is no need to shy away from it. Shopkeeper Huang shook his head and said, "This matter is related to the Fan family." When Fan Yongxin heard that it was related to his home, he hurriedly got a little closer,

"Something to do with our family? What's going on in our family? Shopkeeper Huang looked at Long Zhan, saw the latter nodding, and then said: "The brothers in the gang said that Long Yushu has been in close contact with your Fan family's shopkeeper Chen recently, and he may be plotting something. ”

"Shopkeeper Chen?" Fan Yongxin hurriedly asked, "Is it Chen Dianfu?" Shopkeeper Huang nodded,

"I heard that Chen Dianfu is in charge of the business of Wuyin City in your Fan family, and recently your Fan family and Wuyin City have ......" Needless to say, everyone understands.

"So that's the case, no wonder the Tan family suddenly changed their hexagrams, it turned out that they were playing ghosts." Fan Yongxin snorted coldly, turned his head and left.

"Reckless!" Long Zhan hurriedly shouted to Fan Yongxin,

"What do you want to do?"

"Of course I'm going back to catch that traitor, this dog dares to betray our Fan family, I want to teach him a good lesson." Fan Yongxin was angry, and he couldn't imagine that the shopkeeper, who had worked in his own house for many years, would betray his family at this time, which made him extremely angry.

"What about after the lesson?" Long Zhan walked over and pressed his shoulder,

"When the lesson is over, your family's business will come back? What kind of shopkeeper Tan is willing to do business with you? Since he dares to betray you, he is not afraid to fall out with you. He and Long Yushu must have negotiated with them now, and even if you go back now, you won't be able to change anything. ”

"Then am I just going to do nothing, just watch and watch as if nothing happened?" Fan Yongxin clenched his fists, eager to kill that person with one punch.

"Do, of course you have to do it, but it depends on how you do it. This has to be considered in the long run. Long Zhan said.

"Brother Zhan, I don't have time, those goods are in our hands, if we don't make a move as soon as possible, our Fan family won't be able to operate. Our Fan family may face collapse overnight. I ......" Fan Yongxin's eyes were red,

"I'm really afraid, I don't want our Fan family's family business to be ruined in my hands."

"Don't worry, it won't." Long Zhan said: "The people of that batch of goods in Fog Hidden City will definitely want it, the reason why they don't talk to you is because they want to exchange it for a lower price, but they will definitely want it anyway." And as you said, only you have that shipment. You are in a hurry, but those people in Fog Hidden City are not in a hurry? The reason why they dare to drag it like this is because they expect you to lose your breath, but in fact, they are as stressed as you are. As long as you are steady, they will be the ones who will be afraid when the time comes. Long Zhan looked at his former good brother and said: "Mangzi, believe me, this is a game, if you don't want to lose, don't do anything, just wait quietly." At this time, whoever can't bear the anger first will lose. Fan Yongxin knew that Long Zhan would not harm him, so he nodded silently and said no more.

Long Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, and his thumb unconsciously pressed on his index finger. Long Yushu, Chen Dianfu......

"Shopkeeper, Wan Yuxuan is here." The little guy outside the door said goodbye. Shopkeeper Huang looked at Long Zhan, who said, "Let him come over." Shopkeeper Huang went out to greet him, and it didn't take long to see Wan Yuxuan walking quickly, and he said happily: "Third young master, the matter has been negotiated." The official asks you when the host will come for an interview. "Talked?

The speed is quite fast, and he deserves to be the number one broker in Sioux City. Long Zhan smiled: "I'm free today." Wan Yuxuan said with a smile: "It seems that our shopkeeper's expectations are not bad, the third young master, please, the buyer has already taken a seat." Long Zhan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed,

"It's worthy of being the master of Ke Da, and I even thought about when I would go to the appointment." Wan Yuxuan smiled. Long Zhan turned around and said to Fan Yongxin: "Mangzi, you go back first, remember, don't mess up when you go back, calm down, don't move that batch of goods." Fan Yongxin snorted.

Long Zhan and Wan Yuxuan left together, Meng Wanlin thought about it for a while, and finally followed. …… Upstairs, looking at the departing carriage, Huo Shaoyuan said: "I really didn't see that this third young master has such a great ability." ”

"Yes, yes, Dad, you don't know, when he said he wanted to help me, I just thought it was ridiculous, thinking that you are a down-and-out waste, and you still help me even if you don't manage your own well, isn't this nonsense?" Huo Conghan said excitedly,

"But who knows, it's only been ten days, and he has helped me earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Moreover, only the reputation of our restaurant has also spread. Who doesn't know half of us in Sioux City today? Dad, do you know how many dignitaries want to come to us for dinner every day? I've heard people from outside say that now those people are proud to be able to eat a meal here. Those who have eaten here speak louder than others outside. Hey, Dad, do you want to eat a table? Huo Shaoyuan naturally heard the rumors, and smiled: "Didn't you say that there are only ten tables for each meal?" Am I honored to do this? Huo Conghan hugged Huo Shaoyuan's arm and said, "That's all for outsiders, we can get it at any time if we want to." ”

"Your own people?" Huo Shaoyuan tastes these three words,

"Are you talking about your own people with me, or with him? I'm not my own person with him anyway. Huo Shaoyuan looked at Huo Conghan,

"So who are you?" Huo Conghan opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer. Huo Shaoyuan said: "Conghan, what is the reputation of this third young master, you must also know. He suddenly defected to you, and he worked so hard to help you, don't you want to think about why? Huo Conghan let go of his father's hand, twisted his hands together, and said sullenly: "What can it be for?" ”

"I am the president of the Dragon and Snake Society, and I am the underground emperor of Sioux City, and my energy in Sioux City is not big, and it is not small when I say it is small." Huo Shaoyuan looked at his daughter,

"Whether it is the court officials or those wealthy families, they all want to have a relationship with me. Do you think he had that in mind? Huo Conghan admitted: "Maybe there is." ”

"Conghan, you are no longer a child, don't just look at problems with your eyes, but also look at them with your heart." Huo Shaoyuan said calmly: "That third young master has a bad reputation, I don't know how many people he offended before, and the people who want to kill him are not one thousand but eight hundred. Last night's assassination is the best example of this. ”

"Those people didn't come for him last night, they ......" Huo Conghan hurriedly argued, but was stopped by Huo Shaoyuan reaching out,

"It doesn't matter if you're coming for him, it's important if you're in danger if you stay with him." Huo Shaoyuan turned to look at the low houses outside the window,

"I've been in Sioux City for decades, and since you were born, how many people have dared to assassinate you? But now because of his appearance, someone dares to do it to you. Do you know what that means? Huo Conghan shook his head.

Huo Shaoyuan said: "This means that they are risking to kill him even if they anger me." This means that if they have the chance next time, they will do it, and you will not let it go. Huo Shaoyuan turned around,

"Now, you're going to keep him around?" Huo Conghan said: "The people last night have been solved by him, and those people will not do anything to him again." ”

"Resolved?" Huo Shaoyuan shook his head,

"I don't know if he's going to make a lot of money, or what, but is it safe for you to settle it the way he does? Moreover, you think that if one is solved, there will be no second? He only offended one family? Yesterday at noon, didn't he have a falling out with the people of the Long family? Do you think that with that Long Ziqian's character, he will be easily let go? Huo Conghan said indignantly: "What can we do if he doesn't let go, are we still afraid that he won't succeed?" ”

"Do you mean you and him by 'we', or do you count me in?" Huo Shaoyuan said: "You should know that although our Dragon Snake Society is not small in Suzhou City, it is by no means the opponent of the Long family. Do you want your father and me, with all the brothers, to fight with the Luochen family? ”

"I ...... I didn't mean that. Huo Conghan lowered his head.

"Then it seems that you only forget you and him, Cong Han, why are you willing to go to this point for him?" Huo Shaoyuan looked into his daughter's eyes.

Huo Conghan lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, but something had already been revealed in his expression. Huo Shaoyuan was shocked,

"From the cold! You...... Do you like him? ”

"I ...... I didn't. Huo Conghan lowered his head and didn't admit it, but the two blushes on his face already said everything.

"Why? Why? Huo Shaoyuan was puzzled, he grabbed his daughter's arm,

"You've only known each other for more than ten days, why are you ...... Cong Han, tell me, what kind of drug did he give you to make you fall in love with him so quickly? ”

"I ...... I didn't, I wasn't attracted to him. Huo Conghan tilted his head, only to feel that his face was hot.

She didn't know if she liked Long Zhan or not, just thinking about him made her feel happy. She likes the way Long Zhan is resolute and resolute, and she likes the way he points out the country.

It was unlike any man she had ever seen.

"From the cold, look at you, your cheeks are red, you are shy. When have you ever been shy since you were a child? Huo Shaoyuan looked at his daughter's red cheeks, and said depressedly: "Moreover, these days, my disciples have reported to me about your actions these days, and they all say that you have obviously smiled a lot these days, and you are often in a daze." Huo Shaoyuan took a deep breath,

"From the cold, although my father is not a woman, he also knows what is in the heart of a woman. You can't fool me. Huo Conghan thought back to his state these days, and he really seemed to be much happier.

Moreover, he often sits alone in the courtyard in a daze after Long Zhan leaves. Do you really like him?

Huo Shaoyuan said bitterly: "From the cold, listen to my father's advice, he is not a good match." Not to mention his previous reputation, just talking about what he has done these days, do you think these things can be done by an ordinary person? He approached you, wooed Ke Peiling, and made this restaurant a place to symbolize the noble status of the magnates of Sioux City. Do you think he's going to be small? Huo Shaoyuan took a deep breath and said: "He is too dangerous, or the owner behind him is too dangerous." He's just a pawn, do you think you'll end well with him in the future? What's more, he is still a family man. The last sentence was like a sharp sword stuck in Huo Conghan's heart, making her a little confused.

As for what Huo Shaoyuan persuaded her afterward, she didn't listen to a word. She only remembered the graceful woman in red, and she only remembered that the two men rode on white horses, and galloped in the morning light and on the streets...... Plum Garden.

Wan Yuxuan took Long Zhan and Meng Wanlin to a quiet room. Wan Yuxuan said respectfully: "Official, the third young master is here." ”

"Please come in." Ke Peiling's voice came from inside. Wan Yuxuan opened the door and made one

The gesture of "please". Long Zhan was about to go in, turned back to Meng Wanlin and said, "Do you want to go in?" Meng Wanlin remembered the scene of that day, and felt that it would not make a difference if she went in, but if she didn't go in, she was afraid that she would miss something.

He mumbled. Long Zhan didn't say much, and walked in directly. Meng Wanlin followed. Inside the house, square tables and chairs have been replaced, and some potted plants are placed next to them, which looks quite exquisite.

In the room, in addition to Ke Peiling, there was also a man in a brown robe. The man turned his back to this side, looking out the window.

This person is Ji Feiluan, the canal envoy, an official of the imperial court, who manages all the affairs of Yangjiang River transportation.

Ke Peiling stood up and said, "Master Ji, people are here." Long Zhan also arched his hand and said: "Long Zhan, I've seen Master Ji." Meng Wanlin also gave up.

Ji Feiluan turned around, his eyes seemed to be able to shoot a cold light, and he rushed straight to Long Zhan, and said loudly with a questioning tone: "Do you know how long I've been waiting here? I've been here all morning, and you know how precious my time is? The corners of Ke Peiling's eyes jumped, thinking that this person was still angry.

It doesn't look like it's off to a good start. Meng Wanlin was also frightened by Ji Feiluan's gaze, knowing that the character in front of her was not simple.

Squinted at Long Zhan, wondering how Long Zhan would deal with it. Long Zhan was not frightened by Ji Feiluan, his eyes looked at him, and he said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "That's because Master Ji knows that I am worthy of being waited, even if I let Lord Ji wait for two more hours, Lord Ji will be willing." Ji Feiluan snorted coldly,

"You deserve this?" Long Zhan said confidently: "The secret recipe of winemaking can be taught, and half of the profit of the door can also be divided into three percent." Ji Feiluan's eyes narrowed slightly,

"Sancheng?" Long Zhan said: "The reputation of Jade Meat has spread in Suzhou City, and I believe that those people in Panjing will soon know about it." There are many wealthy families in Panjing, and they should be very willing to buy it. Even if it's one thousand taels or one. Ji Feiluan looked at Long Zhan, and after staring at it for about ten seconds, he suddenly laughed,

"Hahaha...... You kid, I didn't quite understand why your grandfather would train you as the future head of the family, but now I seem to understand a little bit. Long Zhan smiled slightly.

He knew that Ji Feiluan must have guessed wrong. The reason why the original owner was cultivated as a family master was entirely because the eldest brother of the original owner entered the fairy gate and became a noble mountain man; And the second brother is frail and sickly, and his lower body is disabled.

Neither of them is suitable, so it can only be the turn of the dragon battle. Of course, Long Hanhai does have a preference for the original owner, but this is by no means a direct reason.

Ji Feiluan began to sit down, and Long Zhan also sat down. Meng Wanlin on the side followed. The last to sit down was Ke Peiling, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she originally thought that after Ji Feiluan was furious, she would make the scene difficult to clean up, but she didn't expect Long Zhan to ease the situation in a few words.

She had to look at Long Zhan a little more, she really didn't expect that this person who used to look like a scoundrel who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it now has the temperament of a future family master.

Ji Feiluan said: "According to what Master Ke said, I will prepare three million taels of that secret recipe, what do you think?" Long Zhan smiled and shook his head.

Ji Feiluan frowned,

"What? Is three million taels too little? Long Zhan shook his head,

"Not a few." Ji Feiluan asked, "Then why...... You shake your head. Long Zhan said, "Because this price is not suitable." Ji Feiluan looked at Ke Peiling and frowned again,

"I don't quite understand what you mean? If you say a lot, why don't you say it appropriate? ”

"Because I didn't plan to ask for three million taels, I just need to ......" Long Zhan stretched out two fingers,

"Two million taels."

"Two million taels?" Ji Feiluan was surprised that Long Zhan didn't increase the price, but reduced the price, which surprised him a little.

His bottom line is five million taels. Ke Peiling was also surprised, she has always negotiated higher and higher, how can she talk about it lower and lower, or she took the initiative to lower it.

She didn't understand, and a pair of wonderful eyes stared at Long Zhan. Meng Wanlin was also surprised, although she didn't know much about the value of that secret recipe, she was also in business at home, and she had heard about it to some extent.

I know that when the two do business, the seller shouts high and the buyer shouts low, but there is no such initiative as Long Zhan to call the low price.

She looked at Long Zhan, not understanding what the man was thinking. Ji Feiluan asked again: "Two million taels you said?" Long Zhan nodded,

"Yes, it's two million taels, to be precise, excluding the thirty percent profit promised to Ke Da's master, you only need to give me one million and four hundred thousand taels." Ji Feiluan was still confused, and asked curiously, "You...... What do you think? Ke Peiling and Meng Wanlin also asked, thinking what did this guy think, why did he ask for a million taels for nothing?

That's not a small amount of money.

"My idea is simple, I want to make a lot of money." Long Zhan said honestly: "Three million taels, two million taels, for me, it's actually nothing, because my purpose is not this little money, and I believe that Master Ji won't care too much about this little money." ”

"Hmm." Ji Feiluan replied insincerely, you can't lose to a young man on the scene.

"I know that Master Ji is a canal envoy who controls all the waterways in Daning, and the waterways are the lifeblood of the economy." Long Zhan said: "Whether it is the Long family, the Guan family, or the other big families in Suzhou City, almost all their sources of money are inseparable from Yangjiang, and Yangjiang you are the king." The tone of the last few words was aggravated, and Ji Feiluan's spirit was shocked when he heard it.

I've heard a lot of sycophants these years, but it's the first time I've heard such a fresh and refined sycophant. He seriously recalled: "Yangjiang, you are the king!" I am the king of Yangjiang. Hehehe, it's kind of interesting. Long Zhan continued: "It is said that if you go south and north, you want to worship the dock, and I think the biggest pier here is you." So that one million is my gift money for your docks. Ji Feiluan tapped the table and savored the words carefully.

After a long time, he said, "So, you're going to do business with me for a long time." Long Zhan nodded,

"As I said, I won't care about one or two million, that's not my pursuit, and I believe Master Ji won't only have this pursuit." Ji Feiluan was speechless in his heart, and nodded on his face,

"It's nature." Long Zhan continued: "So, I am going to set up a chamber of commerce, which requires the support of Master Ji. Ji Feiluan pondered, tapped his fingers, and asked after a while, "How much do I occupy?" Long Zhan stretched out his finger again.

Ji Feiluan shook his head,

"It's too little, I'm going to ......" he held out a palm. The dragon fights three fingers and becomes two fingers. Ji Feiluan exclaimed: "Why is it still less?" Long Zhan said: "The first time I made a three-percent, I wanted to be friends with Master Ji, so I let one more percent." But seeing that Master Ji was bargaining and just wanted to do business with me and not be emotional, then I had no choice but to be unsympathetic, so there were only two. Ji Feiluan smiled and said: "Ji Mou has never been friends with a child, you are the first." Long Zhan stretched out three fingers,

"Then 30 percent."

"Okay." Ji Feiluan laughed, and then asked with a worried look on his face: "What you said, can you call the shots?" The proprietor behind you ......" Long Zhan said: "The proprietor said that before he comes back, everything here will be up to me." So, don't worry about it. Ji Feiluan nodded, and then asked: "Ji admires the talent of the owner very much, I wonder if I can make an appointment?" Long Zhan said: "I will tell the owner what Master Ji thinks, and I don't know if I can make an appointment." Ji Feiluan said: "To be able to write such poems, I'm afraid it's not something that ordinary people like me can meet." I hope I'm lucky. Ke Peiling was also fascinated for a long time and looked forward to seeing it.

Only Meng Wanlin looked at Long Zhan from time to time, didn't this guy say that he memorized it in a dream? Why did another owner pop up?

But if you think about it carefully, you know that reciting poems in dreams is untenable, and it seems that those poems were written by the owner and then given to him.

"The owner?" She muttered, a little curious.
