Chapter 16 - Second Brother Wei
Xiao Zhang cautiously said a number: "One thousand taels? ”
Cao Ding shook his head reservedly: "Guess again." ”
"It won't be eight hundred taels, right? Forget it, eight hundred is fine. ”
"No, you can't guess higher. With me out of the house, you're still afraid that those good things won't sell. ”
Xiao Zhang pursed his lips: "What about one thousand two?" ”
"You guess high."
"You'd better just tell me how much."
Cao Ding smiled, compared one, and then drew a six.
"Tell you, one thousand six hundred taels."
"So much?"
"Ang, I couldn't sleep when I got home yesterday, so I went to those noble sons to sell your rock candy. Good guys, that's a short supply. You gave me those bags, and they were sold out before I could run a few stores. ”
Xiao Zhang was suddenly excited.
Is this thing so popular?
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhang also understood.
In this world, cooking is boiled in salt water, and snacks and pastries are basically non-existent.
These noble sons and daughters basically have nothing to pursue in their daily lives except for walking dogs and fighting cocks, bullying men and women.
Rock candy is simple, but it can improve their long-standing monotonous taste.
For a while, Xiao Zhang keenly captured the business opportunity.
Isn't this a good time to play for yourself?
As a good child who grew up in a foodie country with a history of 5,000 years, Xiao Zhang has his own unique ideas and opinions on eating and drinking.
If you move the eating and drinking patterns of your own world to this world, isn't it making money?
With money, what do you want to do?
Relying on his own understanding of all kinds of knowledge, transforming the world is just around the corner.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhang's eyes lit up.
Cao Ding was still talking about the shortage of rock candy over and over again, and asked Xiao Zhang if he still had it in his hand.
"Cao Ding, I think of a good business that makes a lot of money."
Cao Ding sighed and looked at Xiao Zhang in astonishment: "What? ”
"Just come with me."
"No, I'm just sending you the money I sold. I still have to go to Guozi School. ”
"Where are you going to do it, Lu Boming's level can't teach you a genius. Come with me, I'll take you to earn money. ”
While speaking, Xiao Zhang didn't give Cao Ding a chance to refuse, put on his clothes indiscriminately, and led him all the way out of Xiangdong Palace.
…
"Idiot, what do you want to do with you leading me around in circles."
On the crowded street, Cao Ding asked curiously, and at the same time said: "It's almost time, I have to go to Guozi to study quickly." Otherwise, my dad will find out and smoke me when he comes home. ”
Xiao Zhang pursed his lips: "Look at your little bit of talent." When you come home with a lot of money, throw the money in your father's face. He pumped you? If he doesn't give it to you, I lose. ”
Cao Ding: "Uh..."
"Don't say so much, I've turned the street several times, why don't I see any good places."
Cao Ding was curious: "Idiot, what are you going to do?" ”
"Rent a storefront and make a restaurant."
"Restaurant?"
"Ang, we have too little food. There is no place for everyone to have any fun. Eat boiled meat all day long. The beak faded out of the bird. At this time, if we open a restaurant, it will not be profitable. ”
Cao Ding smiled and couldn't help but say, "I'm talking stupid." You don't have a fever. There are many restaurants on this street, and this set can't be eaten in Beijing City. Which house chef is not famous far and wide. It's useless, it's useless, if you want me to say, you might as well continue to make money with your rock candy. ”
Xiao Zhang pursed his lips and ignored Cao Ding's suggestion: "Don't talk nonsense, just tell me directly what place these noble children in the city like to go to play." ”
"That's Wuyi Lane in the east of the city. This alley is basically inhabited by the children of the nobles. My eldest brother's house is on this street. ”
"Let's go, go to Wuyi Lane."
Xiao Zhang didn't need to say anything, he pulled Cao Ding away, and after walking two steps, he stopped again and motioned to Cao Ding to lead the way.
"Damn, you haven't made any money and called me as a person."
"Hurry, less nonsense."
The two of them soon came to Wuyi Lane, compared to the streets they had seen before, this place was really deserted.
The residents here are all ministers of the court, princes of the family, and ordinary traders, and they simply don't have the courage to come to Wuyi Lane to set up stalls.
"Look, I'll just say that it's not okay to open a restaurant in this place. There wasn't even a figure on the street. ”
Cao Ding complained.
Xiao Zhang ignored him, but observed the surroundings as he walked.
At the end of the alley, he saw an empty yard and pointed to Cao Ding: "This place is quite good." The yard is big enough to go up and down two floors. Who's from? ”
Cao Ding tilted his head and looked: "Isn't this the courtyard of Second Brother Wei's house?" ”
"Second Brother Wei?"
Cao Ding shouted: "It's Wei Fang, we were drinking together before." It's a pity that since Second Brother Wei entered the palace on duty the year before the fight, he couldn't find a chance to drink with him anymore. ”
Cao Ding sighed to himself, Xiao Zhang had already slapped the door forward: "Is there anyone at home?" ”
"Idiot, idiot, don't mess around. This courtyard is Second Brother Wei's private residence, and even if there is someone, it is a woman raised by Second Brother Wei. You are not suitable, let Second Brother Wei know, we will all find bad luck. ”
Xiao Zhang ignored Cao Ding and patted on the door.
"Look, I'll just say there's no one."
Cao Ding said, and pulled Xiao Zhang to leave.
However, at this moment, a voice came from the courtyard.
"Who?"
Cao Dingleng paused: "There are really people." ”
The words fell, and the door split to the left and right, and opened to both sides with a creak.
Immediately after, an old servant walked out of the door, standing at the door and looking at Xiao Zhang and Cao Ding up and down, with a puzzled face: "Who are the two of you?" ”
"I am Xiao Zhang, the prince of Xiangdong. His name is Cao Ding, and he is the son of Cao Jingsheng, the prince of Jingling. ”
The old servant sighed, and hurriedly bowed over: "It turned out to be two nobles, disrespectful, disrespectful." ”
Xiao Zhang waved his hand: "Uncle, you're welcome, is Second Brother Wei at home?" We have something to talk to him. ”
"Second Brother Wei? The two of you are talking about the second son. The second son will not be here, if there is anything to talk to the old slave first, and when the second son comes, the old slave will tell him. ”
Xiao Zhang made a difficulty, this is not the main master, and it is useless to say it.
Just wondering, a young girl came out of the bedroom.
He is twenty-eight years old, with a pink and tender face and jade skin. Bright eyes and big eyes, cherry mouth and nose, like a fairy in the earth, Chang'e in the moon.
Seeing this girl, Xiao Zhang and Cao Ding's eyes were fixed, this girl is so beautiful.
"Uncle Sun, who's out there?" The girl asked timidly.
Cao Ding quietly pushed Xiao Zhang: "What am I talking about, this place is the courtyard where Second Brother Wei raised a child." You're good to knock at the door. It's okay now, I broke through the matter of Second Brother Wei and let him know, we have to clean up the two of us. ”
