The Wang family is gone, and the Cao family is here again.

Different from the people of the Wang family, the people sent by the Cao family were harmonious.

"Brother Li, the Cao family is here to make friends."

When they met for the first time, Cao Cang, the housekeeper of the Cao family, felt very good about Li Kui, and the other party didn't even talk about business at all, but instead sent a set of tea sets produced in Yuzhou. Many kiln factories in Yuzhou are imperial kiln factories, specializing in official kilns for the royal firing, but there are also many fine porcelain fired for the people, and the quality and delicacy are not worse than the official kilns.

Gao Yu looked at this set of exquisite porcelain with hot eyes, when he earned two yuan a month, he didn't have this idea at all.

The black pottery tea bowl is sturdy, easy to use, and cheap. But since his income increased tenfold, he began to pursue the quality of life.

Li Kui looked down at the porcelain in the brocade box, smiled slightly, pushed the porcelain forward, and said, "No merit will be punished." ”

"Haha, Brother Li laughed, your snowflake salt has caused a huge storm in Bianliang, if it weren't for the lack of goods on the market, it would definitely be popular in the capital. Based on this, the Cao family has a reason to befriend Brother Li. Cao Cang pushed the brocade box to Li Kui's side, and said with a smile: "You may want to ask, whether it is a bachelor or someone else, they all say that the snowflake salt belongs to the Liu family." But there are some things, paper can't keep the fire, and the performance of the Liu family's people in the capital is too poor. Not to mention inviting the Bachelor to come forward. ”

Li Kui was helpless, the other party's tone was completely determined by himself, but he could speak so frankly, which was also a kind of ability.

This sense of powerlessness is like the relationship between him and Steward Wang has been subverted.

Li Kui touched his nose, he had a doubt, Steward Wang didn't tell him in the end, why did the capital suddenly respect snowflake salt so much?

Just by virtue of Su Shi's name?

Li Kui would never believe it.

Curiosity finally broke through reason, and Li Kui asked, "Steward Cao, the kid has any questions and wants to ask?" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"Snowflake salt appeared in the capital for less than a short period of less than half a month, but it was sought after, don't admit it, if it weren't for snowflake salt, you wouldn't have appeared in Yingzhou. The kid just doesn't understand, with the name of my ancestor, I'm afraid I can't do this, right? ”

Li Kui saw that he couldn't excuse himself, so he didn't be polite to Cao Cang, but asked the question in his heart.

Cao Cang's eyes revealed a trace of doubt, doubting that Li Kui didn't know about the sensation in the capital, and then smiled heartily: "Brother Li doesn't know, as an elder brother, you naturally have to say it well." This snowflake salt has only appeared in the capital for about ten days. But you don't know that this snowflake salt actually appeared in the capital on the second day, and it became famous in the capital. ”

"Oh!" At this moment, even Li Kui is not calm. This speed ...... Could it be that the emperor has also ended?

Could Liu Qingjing in the palace blowing the pillow wind in front of the little emperor?

Cao Cang quickly uncovered the puzzle: "This is thanks to Wang Yuma, after receiving the snowflake salt, he felt that his old friend was joking with him, and the letter said that the sky was falling, what the halogen poison was exhausted, and the effect of prolonging life." His old man took the snowflake salt to the Tai Hospital to find a doctor. Then the doctor boiled a pot of soy milk and poured salt into it, guess so......"

"Soy milk is still soy milk, but it has become salted soy milk." Li Kui understood that the endorsement of Tai Hospital was enough to make people firmly believe in the miraculous health care effect of snowflake salt.

But if you really want to say that the harm of salt brine to the human body is actually very slight. After all, for thousands of years, salt has been boiled in brine, and if there is no salt brine left, is this still salt?

No matter where the salt is, there will be more or less salt brine.

And salt brine is a good coagulant for dotted bean curd, of course, gypsum can also be used.

Cao Cang thought that Li Kui didn't understand it at all, but he didn't expect that Li Kui understood before he finished speaking. This made his impression of Li Kui suddenly increase a few points, obviously the secret recipe was in Li Kui's hands.

Healthy.

Rich people are afraid of death.

Do you still need to guess?

Since Cao Cang had nothing to say and did not hide it, Li Kui was naturally more cheerful: "Brother Cao, since it was Wang Yuma who took the salt to the Tai Hospital and got the result, then he will definitely come to the kid as soon as possible." ”

"You sold the secret recipe?" Cao Cang suddenly became nervous, and then said in annoyance: "Brother Li, how can you sell the secret recipe?" This secret recipe is in your hand, isn't it a matter of one sentence how much money you want? ”

"Brother Cao misunderstood, not to sell the secret recipe, but to give the right to sell Gyeonggi to the Wang family." Li Kui paused, and then said, "Of course, there is a time limit, one month. Snowflake salt has just been put on the market, and no one knows what it will sell. A month later, both the Wang family and the Cao family had the opportunity to compete for the right to sell in the capital. ”

Cao Cang thought that Li Kui had already made a decision, was a little embarrassed, and was ready to leave.

Instead, Li Kui stopped him and said, "Brother Cao, you don't want to leave, do you?" ”

Cao Cang said embarrassedly: "Since it has been promised, the Cao family will naturally wait for a month before making plans." ”

"But as I said, the right to sell the capital is given to the Wang family, but what about other places? The prosperity of the Daimyo's Mansion is not as good as that of the capital, but it is also a first-class city in the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention the rich land of Hebei and Hexi, is Brother Cao not tempted? Li Kui said with a smile.

Cao Cang immediately understood: "What conditions are for the Wang family, what conditions are for the Cao family, and please rest assured that the Cao family only earns what it deserves." ”

Cao Cang left Yingzhou satisfied, and also left Li Kui with 10,000 yuan. On the contrary, Gao Yu has begun to become numb to Li Kui's earning ability, and he even feels that Li Kui has said before that he wants to be a millionaire, and it is easy to hold the handle.

But Gao Yu was not very relieved, after all, the Wang family was not simple, and the Cao family was not simple: "Renjie, you just believe what he said?" ”

"Don't believe it!" Li Kui sat in front of the cash box, touching a lovely silver ingot, from the means of payment, the Cao family is higher than the Wang family I don't know how much, the Wang family's Jiaozi, not to mention the low value, sometimes there will be credit can not be cashed, small places do not like Jiaozi, but gold and silver are hard currency anywhere, easy to use. These alone made him believe in a brilliant Jiangmen who had been brilliant for hundreds of years, and he couldn't do anything: "The Cao family is also the same as the Wang family, as long as there is a chance, I'm afraid that my white Ding will be swallowed by them, and there will be no bones left." But who made me look at Cao Cang pleasing to the eye? ”

"Tens of thousands of business, just because it is pleasing to the eye......" Gao Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty. He has a kind of wooden mind that can't turn around.

Li Kui said: "Don't think about it, this money is not only earned by me, but also by the Liu family, but a large part of it will go to the palace." We are just passing gods of wealth, whether it is the Wang family or the Cao family, their wealth comes from the palace. Therefore, as long as they know the story behind this snowflake salt, they dare not fight. can't help but dare not fight, and try their best to maintain the business of snowflake salt, the Cao family does not dare to move, who dares to have bad thoughts about the secret recipe? ”

Gao Yu left thoughtfully.

Following.

Gao Yu recalled the bits and pieces of getting along with Li Kui these days, and he found that Li Kui seemed to be disorganized, but there was a trick behind it. He suddenly remembered that Li Kui had said that Zhang Dian had revenge. So much so that he should not be able to reach the top of the imperial examination, and even the third young master Su Guo may not be able to pass the palace examination in this life.

Thinking of this, Gao Yu was anxious. Li Kui doesn't care if he dies or not, but the third young master Su is too many good people! If even he can't be an official, is there still heavenly reason? Fortunately, Su Shi's mind was very sober on this day, and Gao Yu, who couldn't help it, repeated what Li Kui said to him a few days ago to Su Shi again.

After Su Shi listened, he fell silent.

Zhangdu?

In the face of this person, Su Shi felt guilty. In his opinion, Zhang Dan was a man of erudition and good literature, arrogant and conceited. There are not many people who can get into his eyes, so there are few friends. Only Su Shi has a good relationship, and in their interactions, Zhang Dian always gives people a feeling of enthusiasm. But his former deceased wife Wang Fu said a word, and he laughed when he heard it, thinking that women were just cautious.

But this sentence brought back his memories many years later.

His deceased wife, Wang Fu, once said: Zhang Dian is too enthusiastic, but he has a narrow personality. Once you offend someone like Zhangdun, I'm afraid it will be bad for you.

Su Shi has never been very confident in his vision, because he has seen too much, which makes his self-confidence disappear.

Thinking of the interaction with Zhang Dan, at the beginning they were Jinshi of the same department, which was regarded as a friendship of classmates. Zhang Dian is Tanhua, Su Shi is the leader, and they are the most dazzling new science scholars in that subject.

Then there is Zhang Dian who was favored by Wang Anshi, brilliant and prosperous.

Themselves began to be unlucky.

Wutai Poetry Case......

When everyone was afraid to speak, Zhang Dan, as Wang Anshi's confidant, stood up for Su Shi, a criminal who broke the new law. At that time, Zhang Dian was a governor of political affairs, and his status was transcendent. If Zhang Dian hadn't spoken, Su Shi thought that his end might be the only way to go.

Don't look at the brother Su Zhe scattered all the family property and rescued himself.

But Su Shi went to know, how much family did Su Zhe have? Su Zhe's confession, if no one delivers it, who will read it?

The point is that the emperor can't see it, and Wang Anshi can't see it. Su Shi is still a dead end.

Zhang Dian is the benefactor who let Su Shi survive the Wutai poetry case safely. From that moment on, he thought his wife was wrong. Later, Zhang Dian was unlucky, mainly against the Empress Dowager, and after the failure of the debate between the old and new parties in front of the emperor, he also began his derogatory career, all the way to the south.

The more officials are in charge, the smaller they become, and the more remote they become.

At that time, Su Shi was stunned by Sima Guang, a famous man in the literary world, because he touted Sima Guang, and then served as the emperor soon after returning to the capital.

During this period, Zhang Dian, who was relegated to Lingnan, wrote a letter to Su Shi, hoping that he would come forward to defend himself.

At that time, Su Shi was fully qualified to defend Zhang Dian, but the ending was likely to be unlucky with Zhang Dian. Because it was not one person who offended Zhang Dan, but a group of people, the Empress Dowager Gao represented by the royal family, Sima Guang represented by the old party, and Lu Gong. Su Shi really wanted to impulsively write a defense for Zhang Dun, I am afraid that no one will be able to tolerate him.

In the end, his younger brother Su Zhe stopped Su Shi's recklessness. Su Shi has never said anything about this past, and even his wife Wang Yanzhi and concubine Wang Chaoyun are not clear.

Everything was hidden in my heart, but it was revealed by Gao Yu again.

Pain?

It really doesn't hurt, but it has mixed tastes. Fear, guilt, and helplessness.

But more of it reminded him of his deceased wife Wang Fu, and Wang Fu's definition of Zhang Dun. Narrow-minded. If it weren't for what Li Kui said to Gao Yu, and if Zhou Yuan hadn't been troubled by Zhang Dian in Yizhou, I'm afraid even Su Shi would have forgotten such a person.

brought up the past again, and then he realized that most of what his deceased wife said was reasonable.

I know that Zhang Dun is narrow-minded, but what can he do?

Confession?

Su Shi raised his head, looked at Fang Liang, recalled his long life, and was stupid when he looked at it......
