"Hey, you know that." Hearing this, Chen Yunhe closed the fold in his hand and looked at Shen Chen for a long time.

He and Shen Chen are almost brothers who grew up together, and with almost a look from Shen Chen, he knows what Shen Chen is thinking. When Chen Yunhe pushed himself to Zhao Dequan last night, he immediately understood what Shen Chen meant, and he was also extremely unhappy.

Even if he helps Shen Chen, Shen Chen will ask him to pave the way for others.

Shen Chen got up, took Lin Xi's hand and led her to sit down, and said directly, "Don't you want something from the southern border?" ”

Lin Xi was startled, and subconsciously glanced at Chen Yunhe.

Chen Yunhe sighed, "Look at what I'm doing, think I don't know, the people of the Southern Barbarians are in Daqin?" ”

Lin Xi was stunned, and when he thought about the relationship between Shen Chen and Chen Yunhe, he figured it out. They even carried out activities together to catch the rebellious army that transported smuggled silver coins, it didn't make sense that Shen Chen would always hide it from Chen Yunhe for such a big thing.

Lin Xi looked at Shen Chen and said, "I want it, but what does it have to do with what I want over there?" ”

Shen Chen patiently explained: "The imperial court has set a total of seven places for imperial merchants, one of which is to trade with the Nanban side. Because of the special southern border, the court gave such a one, and it was necessary to be cautious. ”

Lin Xi understood: "If Zhao Dequan wins this place, then what I want, he can help me transport it?" ”

"Hmm."

"However, how did I hear that the Imperial Merchants are designated industries? Just the things I want, and the business that Zhao De can do...... Not quite able to fight, right? If the court doesn't let him, he will be found again......"

"Then you consider yourself unlucky."

Chen Yunhe said indifferently, and continued to look at the fold in his hand.

Lin Xi looked at Shen Chen, Shen Chen hummed, and said, "He can choose not to be an imperial businessman." ”

Lin Xi thought to himself, the matter of the imperial merchant has a hundred benefits and no harm. Even if it is placed on Zhao De's whole body, there are more risks, but as long as the return is huge, it is impossible to give up with Zhao Dequan's temperament.

Shen Chen said: "You are doing business together, what you want to do, he will also do." If he really doesn't want to, can he still force him? ”

Lin Xi felt the same, but he was not at ease after all, and said, "I'll remind him when I go back." ”

Shen Chen hummed undeniably, and Chen Yunhe shook his head.

The next day, when Lin Xi saw Zhao Dequan again, he hurriedly mentioned it to him, but Zhao Dequan said disapprerovitously: "It's just a small favor, it's nothing." At that time, if Zhao really becomes an imperial businessman, you and I will still make money and become big together. And business, when can there be no risk? ”

Lin Xi didn't expect Zhao Dequan to think so openly, and he was simply impressed by him.

Time flies, and soon in late July, the restaurant has been renovated, and a new plaque "Jubao Building" has been hung.

Zhao Dequan quickly picked the first batch of guys to use, Lin Xi screened it again, and finally left ten.

Lin Xi divided the ten men into three groups, four on the first floor and four on the second floor, each responsible for different processes and tasks, and the remaining two were responsible for registering and making records.

Of course, the first batch of hot pot ingredients they made was hot pot ingredients, and the hot pot ingredients in the department store were already in short supply, and the orders of Keyunlou and Zhuo Minghe were waiting again.

At first, Lin Xi was waiting in the treasure building every day.

When the first batch of hot pot ingredients was made, Lin Xi tasted it first, which was not the same as what she made. She thought of ways to improve it, and then told the guys to keep doing it, and then failed two or three times before she did something about the same.

Fortunately, Lin Xi didn't expect much at first, so he wasn't too disappointed.

At the end of July, the first batch of hot pot ingredients that could be sold in Jubaolou were ready. Lin Xi kept teaching the guys to make vegetable soup cubes.

Most of the guys picked by Lin Xi are smart and clever, and it is not too difficult to teach. But it took a long time, in late August, to make a large number of sellable ones.

Lin Xi divided these into three parts, one part for Zhuo Minghe, one part for Zhao Dequan, and the rest for the department store to sell.

Before it was done, Lin Xi wrote a letter to Zhuo Minghe in advance. After the goods were ready, Zhuo Minghe's reply also came in a timely manner, and at the same time, there were also caravans and darts entrusted by Zhuo Minghe.

They brought with them a deposit for Zhuo Minghe, and when the goods were delivered, they would bring the rest of the money when they returned.

To be honest, Lin Xi was not very relieved.

She said to Shen Chen about this concern, and Shen Chen said: "It's okay, let Wang Shou and Du can't help but follow." They have a lot of free time during this time. ”

Wang Shou and Du couldn't help but agree, and Ma Yu packed his luggage and prepared to follow the caravan.

Lin Xi said gratefully: "When you come back, I will make you a delicious meal." This time, my sister-in-law hired you, and the price was the same as that of the people in the dart game. ”

Wang Shou waved his hand haughtily: "Sister-in-law, you say it, I can't help but go to other places for a long time." ”

Du couldn't help but nod.

Lin Xiqian sent them away with all the instructions, and immediately returned to the work of the treasure building, because she was going to start making half of the dishes. Regarding this, Lin Xi decided to make a small amount at first, so it didn't take long, mainly on the hot pot ingredients and vegetable soup cubes.

Because the vegetable soup is new, its popularity is no less than that of hot pot ingredients, and customers will not buy it every day.

Zhao Dequan, on his side, has done business in other counties, and the daily demand is also increasing.

It can be said that the situation is very good.

When Zhao Dequan looked at the account book, joy was about to overflow from the corners of his eyebrows and eyes: "Miss Lin, doing business with you is really the most correct decision I have ever made!" ”

Lin Xi smiled and didn't speak.

In mid-September, Wang Shou and Du couldn't help but come back.

Zhuo Minghe knew them, and when he saw them coming, he directly asked them to bring back the rest of the money.

Wang Shou came back and said: "The place where that Zhuo Gongzi is is really far away, we have traveled to Jiannan Yanmen Pass, and we saw him at the junction. Then we delivered the goods, took the money and left. ”

When he said this, Shen Chen was also there, and when he heard this, he stopped what he was doing and looked at Wang Shou.

Wang Shou nodded vaguely at Shen Chen, and said with a mouth shape: "It's the Yanmen Pass we know." ”

Lin Xi was reading the letter from Zhuo Minghe brought back by Wang Shou, and he didn't notice this. She saw that behind her, there was also a list of goods, which was the rouge goods that Zhuo Minghe wanted to give her this time, and Wang Shou and Du couldn't help but bring it back.

Overall, the first transaction went smoothly.

Lin Xi said: "You have worked hard, you are not busy today, I will make a big table of good dishes to eat, and you all stay and finish eating before leaving." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Wang Shou panicked when he thought about the food Lin Xi cooked.

He and Du couldn't help but help Lin Xi unload the goods and put them on the carriage, so they went to wash their hands and help cook.

Lin Xi was relieved this time, and he was very comfortable and happy to eat.
