Chapter 334: The Concubine Laughs
"The scenery in front of you may not be the real scenery, only you know the bitterness in this, Su Niangzi is so smart, she must be able to understand the meaning of my words."
Lou Qi personally stood up and poured wine for Su Xiaomu.
Inside the transparent glass jar was scarlet wine, and Su Xiaomu smelled the taste, it seemed to be grape wine.
Her throat rolled, and she suddenly became hungry for the wine.
It's not like I haven't drunk for a long time, but now it seems like I'm missing this bite.
It's really ignorant of the mouth, and I want to taste anything delicious when I come across it.
Lou Qi has always paid attention to Su Xiaomu, and naturally discovered her greed at the moment.
He pursed his lips with amusement, and joked to Su Xiaomu: "This is what smells good, and the taste is really not as good as what you sold me at the beginning, thinking that it was the first time I shipped those wines back to the Western Regions, it was very popular, and there were still many people who wanted to do business with me and buy the remaining wine from me, but I didn't sign many contracts with you, and I didn't have much left, so I was willing to give it to ordinary people to drink." ”
Lou Qi was not flattering Su Xiaomu, but the fruit wine he bought at the beginning did set off a lot of waves in the Western Regions.
He also saved a lot of money for him.
"We signed a contract for a few years at one time, if you really like it, I'll ask someone to send more, but you're not in Fucheng, so the person in charge of business must have changed."
Su Xiaomu shook the liquor in the wine glass, watching the thick liquor stick to the wall of the glass, rippling round and round ripples, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Glass wine luminous glass, in the past, when glass was expensive, businessmen like us didn't have the opportunity to afford such a luxurious thing. ”
"Da Chen is like this, obviously the businessman has paid a lot of taxes, and he has never treated the emperor badly in the people and the court, but your emperor still looks down on the businessman, the farmer and the businessman, the status of the businessman is the lowest, and the businessman is usually not allowed to use some good things, but it really makes people feel embarrassed and pitiful."
Lou Qi did not hide his malice towards Da Chen, as well as his appreciation for Su Xiaomu: "Su Niangzi really doesn't think about it, come back to the Western Regions with me?" ”
"I thought that I had rejected His Highness so many times, His Highness should have died a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to be willing to ask me over and over again, so I can only answer patiently, life is a Da Chen person, death is a Da Chen soul."
Su Xiaomu smiled and refused his "kindness", and she continued to drink the wine in her cup.
But now, I don't think this wine is as good as it was just now, and I don't know if it's because my mentality has changed, and the wine doesn't taste so happy.
The two of them sat in the private room and were silent for a while, and Lou Qi took out a plate of lychees from nowhere, he didn't get angry when Su Xiaomu's attitude changed, but pushed the lychees in front of Su Xiaomu very patiently.
Tell her to try something new in person.
"This lychee from the south of the Yangtze River has now been sold for a hundred taels of silver per catty, and ordinary people don't say that they eat it, and they have to pay for it even if they look at it."
Lou Qi also personally peeled a lychee for Su Xiaomu, the appearance of the lychee was bright and shiny, the flesh was beautiful in color, round and white and pleasing.
Su Xiaomu didn't like to eat this fruit very much, but this time he also had a little appetite.
However, she didn't think that the relationship between her and Lou Qi was so close that she could eat what he handed over.
I peeled a lychee myself.
The round lychee entrance, the sweet taste jumped in the mouth, it was really delicious, and it made Su Xiaomu's mood inexplicably better.
However, one hundred taels of silver is indeed a bit expensive.
After she ate it, she still wanted to bring some back to Gu Jingcheng and Gu Ruonan, but now she can only give up and eat more here by herself.
Su Xiaomu only thought about the food in front of him, and did not have lychees to do business.
After all, this thing grows in the south, the capital is too far away from the south, and now the water transportation is not too developed, so it is too troublesome to do this thing's business.
Lychees are easy to perish, and Qian Su Xiaomu didn't dare to think about it just because it was damaged.
But Su Xiaomu didn't want to, but Lou Qi wanted to say.
He made a start with this thing, and of course he wouldn't waste this opportunity.
"Such an expensive thing...... Thank you, Your Highness, for opening my eyes. ”
"One hundred taels of silver a catty, this plate in front of Mrs. Su is hundreds of taels of silver, I invite you to eat such a good thing, is it enough for you to say thank you?"
Lou Qi sighed: "I thought that Mrs. Su would thank me well, and she would say a few flattering words to me, so that I could be happy in my heart." ”
"If Your Highness wants to listen to flattery, there are many people in this world who want to say it to Your Highness, although I am not a sincere person, but I am not a flamboyant person, Your Highness wants to listen to those words in my place, I am afraid that I am looking for the wrong person, as for this lychee...... It's so expensive, I can't afford it when I think about it. ”
Something is delicious, but it's not worth paying too much for it.
Su Xiaomu is not a fool, Lou Qi obviously hasn't given up on her, she doesn't need to give him some ambiguous thoughts here.
"Hahahaha, if Su Niangzi doesn't want to, I don't want to, I don't have to listen to your kind words, the thing has been given to you, how can there be any reason to return it to me?"
Lou Qi can bend and stretch, and he is not angry at all because of Su Xiaomu: "Although the price of ordinary lychees is high, it will definitely not sell for a hundred taels of silver, Su Niangzi is such a powerful businessman, hasn't she tasted one of them...... The odd part? ”
"Since it is a rare thing, and it is fixed once a year because of the season, it is normal for the price to fluctuate occasionally, as for whether there is any secret in it...... Forgive me for being a newcomer in the capital, even if I am keen, I don't dare to guess at will, if Your Highness knows, you can tell me directly, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of time? ”
Su Xiaomu is really curious at this time, it can't be a ride on the red dust concubine laughing, no one knows the story of lychee, right?
Although she and Gu Ruonan visited the market very seriously last time, she hadn't seen much fruit.
Therefore, whether lychees are only expensive in the capital, or whether the price of fruits has risen, she still has no bottom in her heart.
But Lou Qi's attitude of speaking, to be honest, Su Xiaomu doesn't like it very much.
But who called someone a high-ranking high-ranking person, he was just a commoner, and when he didn't thoroughly figure out how Lou Qi wanted to continue to get along with her, Su Xiaomu decided to be a gentle person and not fight hard with Lou Qi.
So Su Xiaomu maintained a faint smile throughout the whole process, and wanted to listen to Lou Qi very seriously.
"Talking to Mrs. Su, even if it's just talking to each other about the weather, it's not a waste of time."
Lou Qi didn't feel that he had wasted his time, but he was now happy to be able to stay with Su Xiaomu for a while.
