Chapter 158: Competing for favor
When he walked into the front hall, Fusu saw Ran Fang sitting there drinking tea from a distance.
There was a small teapot on the table, and the fragrance of tea in the air was much more fragrant than what he had smelled before.
On the chair next to him, there were two people sitting, one was Rong Ming, who had just reached a cooperation with Ran Fang, and the other was Gu Zongmin, who had a good relationship with Ran Fang.
The tense atmosphere between the two of them was felt by Fusu from afar, but Ran Fang looked carefully at the tea in his pot as if he was fine.
Seeing Fusu coming, the two got up at the same time.
"See Fusu Gongzi."
Fusu nodded, as if he didn't feel the atmosphere between them, and his eyes fell on Ran Fang's body.
"Sir, is this making tea?"
"Why doesn't that smell like anything I smelled before?"
Ran Fang raised his head and looked at Gu Zongmin with some joy.
Picked up the kettle on the stove, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Fusu.
"Taste it first."
After receiving a cup of tea, Fusu sat on the chair closest to Ran Fang.
Following Ran Fang's example, he first put the teacup under his nose and sniffed it, and then took a small sip with his mouth.
His eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Ran Fang incredulously and said, "This is tea?!" ”
"This tea has a little bitterness, the taste spreads on the tip of the tongue, but there is a fresh and refreshing feeling, and there is a faint grass aroma, which is completely different from the previous tea!"
This evaluation is pertinent, Ran Fang also took a sip and put down the teacup.
"That's true."
"This is the tea that Lord Xu asked someone to send back from Surabaya County."
"It's still this kind of tea that is refreshing, and there is a feeling of being in the green nature, which makes people have an endless aftertaste."
Hearing this, Fusu also remembered that when Xu Yuwen was going to Surabaya County for disaster relief, Ran Fang mentioned that he wanted to buy some local tea.
He forgot about this matter, but he didn't expect Xu Yuwen to really get it back.
"That's really going to congratulate you, sir, for getting what you wanted."
As he spoke, he put the teacup down.
Seeing that Ran Fang was in a good mood at this time, he didn't want to mention the matter of Lian Liangcai, but turned his attention to the two people who were sitting there competing.
"I don't know what the Gu family master and the Rong family master are here for?"
Compared with Rongming, Gu Zongmin and Fusu are more familiar.
He smiled and took the initiative to say, "Qi Yu Fu Su Gongzi, I came here today to deliver tea to Mr. ”
"After Mr. Chu finished speaking, I took this matter to heart, and personally sent someone to follow Lord Xu and Master Hu Hai to Surabaya County."
"After the disaster relief situation stabilized, I began to look for what my husband said, and I didn't think that I had really found it."
"So I quickly whipped back to Xianyang City, no, I just got it and I personally sent it to my husband."
After speaking, he also glanced at Rong Ming defiantly.
He has a lot of things to do in the past few days, and he thought that the four major salt merchants entering Xianyang would only decide the ownership of business outside the Kanto region.
Who would have thought that he had only been seen for a few days, and this Rong Ming would fool Ran Fang and give him the business of the Streamer Pavilion!
It's really uncle who can bear it, but aunt can't bear it!
"I don't know, the head of the Rong family is sitting here, is there something to present to Mr."
"If not, it's better to leave Xianyang City as soon as possible, so as to save people laughter."
Rong Ming, who was named, did not have the slightest sense of anger on his face, but kept looking at Gu Zongmin with smiling eyes.
After he finished speaking, he spoke: "Not really. ”
"Today I just came to deliver the account to the commander, and during this time, not only have those glassware sold a lot, but even this chair is very popular among people."
"I made some money, and I came here today to give it to the commander."
"The money has been put away, these are the account books, please look at it."
After speaking, Rong Ming stood up and put the ledger in front of Ran Fang's desk.
Gu Zongmin still had a disdainful expression on his face, but he had heard that the things in the Streamer Pavilion would not sell more than twenty pieces.
Moreover, every time something is put out, it will be sold out quickly, so there is not much left for Rongming at all.
He didn't believe that what Rong Ming sold could make more money than his refined salt.
At the same time, he also saw Ran Fang unfold the account book and glanced at the amount on it, without the slightest expression of joy on his face.
After a while, he heard Ran Fang say, "One hundred thousand gold, not bad." ”
"Those utensils can be sold for the time being, and the tables and chairs can be sold first."
"Especially the number in Xianyang City, it can be increased appropriately."
"100,000 gold?!" When Gu Zongmin heard this number, he exclaimed in surprise.
He turned his head and saw Rong Ming's defiant eyes.
It made him even more angry!
He really couldn't imagine that this Rong Ming could be trusted by Ran Fang better than him.
"Sir, aren't the glass items in the Streamer Pavilion only sold for twenty pieces?"
"Why can the Rong family master sell so much?"
"Will it affect the reputation of the Streamer Pavilion?"
The meaning of this is to say that Rongming is fraudulent.
How can Rong Ming endure this, they are all doing things for Ran Fang, and this is a competitive relationship.
If he loses the upper hand here and lets Ran Fang give all the business to the other party, no one can accept this result.
"What does the Gu family master mean by this?"
"It seems that the Gu family master has never understood that there are more than one or two things in this Streamer Pavilion, and now I am afraid there are more than twenty kinds."
"Except for the first few pieces, there are hundreds of others, except for the dozens of pieces that were put out in the Streamer Pavilion, the rest were shipped out and sold by me."
"There are also those tables and chairs, which should be available to every household in Xianyang City, so naturally more will be done."
"Do I know that Gu Siyuan, the little master of the Gu family, bought ten tables and fifty chairs, I'm afraid they have already been placed in the Gu family, right?"
"I also want to thank the Gu family for sending more than six hundred gold to the Streamer Pavilion."
The two didn't let each other talk, but it also made Fusu understand what was going on between them.
He understood that the cooperation between the Gu family and Ran Fang was largely facilitated by his father and Li Si, even if the Gu family was towards Ran Fang, they still had to obey the royal family's orders in essence.
But Rongming is different, this is the person Ran Fang chose himself, and he is completely obedient to Ran Fang.
Even he, until the end, didn't know that the Rong family was the one Ran Fang chose, which shows how much Ran Fang cared about this matter.
This shows that Ran Fang still doesn't like them in his heart, and he doesn't even want to trust them.
In this way, he wanted to admonish Ran Fang, but he couldn't open his mouth.
"Sir's business is really good."
"It's really impressive."
Ran Fang nodded, looked at Fusu and asked, "You came to look for me, is there anything else?" ”
