40. Shrewd Hu Weiyong and his clever subordinates
Mr. Jianbao, who thinks he is well-informed, also feels that he is Grandma Liu who has entered the Grand View Garden after seeing the things brought by Zhang Muzhi.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Mr. Jianbao's beard glared, and the uncontrollable joy made the folds on his face move.
Zhang Muzhi looked at this wonderful frog seed that kept stopping, and couldn't help but interrupt, "Don't be wonderful, let's make a price!" β
"These things of yours are priceless, these things should be the best in the official kiln, I don't know where you got these things?"
Mr. Jianbao said it more tactfully, and it was almost clear that such a beautiful thing basically came from the court.
"These were given to me by a friend of mine!"
"Forgive me for daring to ask your friend ......"
Without waiting for the pawnshop gentleman to finish speaking, Zhang Muzhi hurriedly said, "It's inconvenient for a very good minister to say more, just like you think!" β
"Zhang Gongzi's business is a little overturned, so he will endure the pain of love!" Wang Shan hurriedly said, "Otherwise, who would take out such a good thing?" β
"Yes!" The old gentleman nodded.
"Shall we hold hands then?" Only then did the old gentleman put his mind at ease.
"Okay, pull hands!"
After talking on their sleeves, the two finally settled on a satisfactory price.
"Zhang Gongzi, the old man is gone, I wish you a prosperous business!"
"I lend you good luck!"
β¦β¦
Hu Mansion.
In Hu's mansion, Hu Gao was standing on one side and talking to Hu Weiyong about the things on the shop.
Hu Weiyong put down the tea in his hand and took a sip.
"The frosting he sold is one-third lower than the price of frosting on the market?" Hu Weiyong wondered, "Could this be a trap?" Just waiting for us to take the bait? β
"The small one thought it was a trap at first, but the small one let people check him, and he didn't have a tough backer at all in Yingtian." Hu Gao said, "Don't dare to do anything out of the ordinary to us!" β
"You say he has a way to turn brown sugar into frosting?"
"Yes, I can almost conclude of that!"
"That's not even more deserved!" Hu Weiyong was puzzled, "He blatantly lowered prices and bought brown sugar at a high price, isn't this just because everyone doesn't know about him?" β
"If I were him, I wouldn't do this!" Hu Weiyong was puzzled, "Why is he doing this?" β
"The little one has a foolish opinion, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"
Hu Weiyong looked up at Hu Gao and said, "Tell me!" β
"I guess he's giving in!" Hu Gao said.
"A few days ago, Hu Lai was probably frightened by the incident, and he did such a move to attract our attention and show goodwill!" Hu Gao continued to speak freely, "According to the small one, you might as well raise it first, and wait until he vomits almost enough!" Directly took away his prescription! β
Hu Weiyong couldn't help but shake his head, and a suspicious look appeared on his face.
"It's never going to be that simple!" Hu Weiyong looked at Hu Gao, who was still proud, and immediately poured a basin of cold water on him.
"You think too simply, even if he doesn't have any backing in Yingtian, if he dares to do this, there must be some of them that we can't analyze for the time being!"
"What a mess this can be!" Hu Gao complained inadvertently.
"Presumptuous!" Hu Weiyong glared at him unhappily, and immediately frightened Hu Gao and shrunk his neck.
Hu Weiyong picked up the teacup and blew it, seeing that Hu Gao was still standing in front of him with his head down, he said impatiently, "What are you still standing here?" β
"Little retirement!" Hu Gao hurriedly turned around and left.
He walked out of the main hall into the courtyard, followed by a few of his attendants.
"Boss, don't go to your heart!"
"Yes, my lord has always liked to make a big fuss, just get used to it!"
β¦β¦
A few people, you say a word, I say a word, persuade Hu Gao to want to open a point!
"Shut up for me, all of them are chirping like a house sparrow, and you are not allowed to speak from now on!"
Hu Gao thought about Wang Dan as he walked out.
"Ouch-"
Hu Gao kept thinking about it, and suddenly thought of something and stopped in place.
A few followers behind him didn't pay attention and bumped into it.
Hu Gao, who had been poured cold water by Hu Weiyong, turned around angrily and looked at the followers behind him.
Several followers didn't dare to meet Hu Gao's gaze, nor did they dare to move, so they had to stand in place in embarrassment.
He was just about to have a seizure, when he suddenly remembered something, and immediately changed his face.
"Let me ask you, what did my brother do when this kind of thing happened?"
Several people looked at Hu Gao without saying a word.
"What are you staring at Lao Tzu for, talking!"
"Didn't you just stop us from talking?"
"Get in your mother!" Hu Gao scolded angrily, and he couldn't wait to go up immediately and kick these two people.
"Now I declare that I can speak!" Hu Gao huffed angrily, "Say it! β
"In the past, when the master made a big fuss, Brother Hu Lai followed the master's wishes, so there has never been anything wrong!"
After listening to the words of the little attendant, Hu Gao stood in place and remembered for a while.
He spoke slowly, with a firm tone in his voice.
"So he doesn't have much credit for it!" Hu Gao said word by word, "Mediocre!" β
After returning to the shop, Hu Gao immediately said to the bookkeeper, "Now immediately take out all the money that can be allocated and buy all the frosting!" β
The bookkeeper was puzzled, "What do you mean by the prime minister?" β
"Well, that's what the prime minister meant!" As he spoke, Hu Gao took out a stamped piece of paper.
The two attendants beside Hu Gao watched him take out the piece of paper with Hu Weiyong's seal, and their eyes widened in disbelief.
"Ahemβ"
Hu Gao coughed lightly, and a few people realized that their behavior was a little out of shape.
"What are you doing standing here, don't be an eyesore in front of me!" Hu Gao said immediately.
β¦β¦
Half an hour later, a few little followers came to Hu Gao.
"Boss, you're too bold. Dare to engrave the master's seal privately, you are not afraid ......"
"Shut your crow's mouth!" Hu Gao glared at them and said, "As long as you two don't say it, who will know?" β
"But the master knows, I'm afraid he will be thunderous and angry!"
"Afraid of what?" Hu Gao immediately said, "When the time comes, I will bring the method of purifying the icing and the extra money from selling it to him, and he will still be furious?" β
"He will definitely say to me that I should be impressed for three days, and admire my courage!"
"This ......"
"Alright, that's it!" Hu Gao pointed at the two of them, "None of you are allowed to speak out, if anyone says it, there will be your good fruit to eat!" β
β¦β¦
Zhang Muzhi just got up from a nap and was about to go to Wang Ji Shop to see the situation.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw two dogs fighting, one dog lost a piece of skin the size of a fingernail, and the other dog was also bitten on the leg and fled in embarrassment.
A few fleas jumped from their fur onto the bare skin, frantically nibbling on the dog's blood.
"Shhhh
"Something is wrong!"
