"The steward is out, but the time is coming back." The shopkeeper welcomed them in, "The two proprietors are invited, and the steward knows that you are coming, and the guest room has been prepared two days ago." ”

Pushing open the back door of Qingfeng Hall, there is a small courtyard inside.

It may be sparsely populated compared with the capital, the courtyard is much more spacious, and a pavilion is set up in it, which has a unique view.

"It's nice here." Gu Zhizhi exclaimed.

After the two visited the room, Mei Niang happened to come back.

She wore an umbrella to shield herself from the sun, her sleeves fell down to reveal a broken arm, and she wore jewelry made of pearls and gold on her slender wrists, which was especially beautiful.

Hearing that the shopkeeper said that they were coming, he hurriedly carried his skirt to the backyard.

"You're coming sooner than I thought."

"As soon as I saw the letter, I came immediately." Gu Zhizhi stepped forward.

The two looked at each other as if they were reunited with their sisters.

"Mei Niang, you are very beautiful in the clothes here!"

Mei Niang smiled: "Then I'll take you to pick out clothes?" ”

"Okay, okay."

The two hit it off.

"Hey, when I'm air? Mei Niang, you also follow Zhizhi to learn badly. Luo Qichen stopped them.

"How so?" Mei Niang smiled.

"It's all a joke, you must be tired from coming here today, so let's rest first. I'll have someone prepare a table of local food for you to taste, and keep it for you to like! ”

The food was bought and delivered from the restaurant, and it was quickly arranged.

There are garlic lobster, sea cucumber and abalone porridge, sea crab and so on.

The two of them feasted and ate half full before they could take care of chatting and catching up.

"Has the Qingfutang business been like this here? It looks a little deserted. Gu Zhizhi asked, holding up the crab claws.

"It's okay to rely on Xianmen pills, but other medicinal materials don't have any advantages. Dongji City is not like the capital, there are not many dignitaries, even if they are rich businessmen, they don't like these. ”

Mei Niang rubbed her temples, and the cuffs slipped down to her elbows again.

"I came here to think of some methods, but they didn't work very well, so those heatstroke prevention and cooling herbs are better to sell."

Gu Zhizhi noticed that there were sunburn marks on her wrists, the back of her hand was slightly darker, and below her wrist was white.

Gu Zhizhi had an idea and had an idea.

"Mei Niang, maybe we should adapt to local conditions, and all Qingfengtang branches should adjust their goods according to local conditions, instead of blindly selling high-end and expensive medicinal materials."

"What does Boss Gu mean ......?" Mei Niang asked.

Gu Zhizhi didn't answer, and asked her: "The sun is so big in Dongji City, do the girls take black as beauty, or do they pursue whiteness like other places?" ”

Mei Niang said: "Rare things are expensive, and the more this kind of place is not easy to keep white, the more white it is." The parasol we just made is one of the best goods sold in Dongji City. ”

"Then sell whitening products and grab business with rouge shops! Let's do it......" Gu Zhizhi's eyes lit up, "Cosmeceuticals!" ”

Just rely on our modern business mind.

The experience that has been precipitated over thousands of years can be fake!

"Cosmeceuticals?" Luo Qichen and Mei Niang asked in unison.

"Little Senior Brother, you go and place an order for the Renwang Sect and ask them to develop a whitening pill for internal use, as well as sunscreen."

Gu Zhizhi looked at Mei Niang, "As far as I know, the powder cream on the market now should still be mainly blackened, and there are probably not many that can make the skin whiter." ”

"It is better to treat the symptoms than to cure the root cause, instead of tanning and shading, it is better to start directly from the root. Sunscreen during the day, skin nourishing cream at night, plus whitening pills, three-pronged, three-in-one! Create ice and snow skin! ”

"The advertising words are all out, I'm really a mediocre little genius!"

As Gu Zhizhi said more and more, Mei Niang's eyes also lit up.

"Boss Gu, this method must be feasible! At that time, we can also cooperate with those rouge shops, in addition to the expensive goods developed by these immortals, we can also add herbs to the rouge gouache, killing two birds with one stone. ”

"Mei Niang, you are too smart, and you will draw inferences! That's it! ”

The two hit it off.

Luo Qichen couldn't intervene in the business of these girls, and kept showing off his head.

After this matter was agreed, Gu Zhizhi remembered the purpose of this place.

"Mei Niang, you said that there is a big business that tells us to come quickly, what is it?"

"Ah, when I talked about Qingfeng Hall, I forgot about it."

Mei Niang said: "When it opened here, it was also hyped that the owner behind it was a person who cultivated immortals in the Qingyun Sect, and after someone heard about it, he came to the door and said that his family had a treasure and wanted to make a deal with the immortals. ”

"I went to see that baby, although I am a mortal, but I have been working in Jinding Pavilion for many years, and I have taken over a lot of things in the immortal cultivation world, and the treasure in that person's mouth is indeed extraordinary."

"yes, what is it?" Gu Zhizhi became interested.

Luo Qichen also slowed down his eating speed and raised his head.

The man was a fisherman who often went to sea.

Occasionally, a net was cast and a large piece of ice was fished up.

How can there be ice at the bottom of the sea?

The fisherman thought it strange and took it home.

He didn't break the ice for a long time, so he managed to put it on the fire and water it to boil.

But no matter how much firewood is burned, the water cannot boil.

Not only that, but when he reached out and touched it, he realized that the water in the pot was even cooler than the water he normally placed.

This made him even more curious.

So whenever he had time, he chiseled it with a hammer.

It took several days to finally get to the center.

There was a shell sealed there.

It is white like a jewel and exudes a strong chill that makes anyone who comes close to it feel cold.

And he tried this shell too.

No amount of violence can leave a mark on it, let alone pry it open.

The fisherman simply puts it in the cellar, and usually puts the water down, and it freezes into ice overnight.

The climate here is hot, and the ice is selling well, so I have been making a living from it.

"So he's going to trade this treasure for us? What does he want? Gu Zhizhi asked.

Mei Niang smiled: "According to his original words, silver taels, lots and lots of silver taels." ”

Gu Zhizhi had already started to feel pain, "A lot, a lot? ”

Mei Niang said: "A full 500,000 taels." ”

"Five hundred thousand taels?" Gu Zhi knew: "Silver? Not gold? ”

I don't think there's a lot.

Mei Niang: "The fisherman is simple, for him, 500,000 taels may be the sky-high price of the lion's big mouth." After all, if you just sell fish and ice, you may not be able to make so much money in dozens of lifetimes. ”

Gu Zhizhi: "Why didn't he send it to the auction house or something if he asked for money?" ”

Mei Niang: "Listen to what he means, the auction house and the merchantmen who bought it are too treacherous, and it is better for them to keep it as an heirloom than to be cheap, at least so that future generations can sell ice for a living and not worry about eating and drinking." However, Qingfeng Hall is under your banner, so it is naturally different. ”

Luo Qichen couldn't help but say: "It's really honest enough, I'm afraid I don't dare to be the emperor in my dreams at night, right?" ”

"People here have been fishing for generations, and it is enough to recognize a few words. It's normal to not have a wide vision and a low heart, and it's not a bad thing. Mei Niang said.

"If the shell is really a treasure, I feel weak to give him 500,000 taels, and I will consider it at that time." Gu Zhizhi stood up and patted his bulging belly.

"Let's go and see what kind of treasure it is."
