Chapter 230: A Money-Making Business

After Zhou Jin left, Su Shi did not leave in a hurry, fell into deep thought, and unconsciously played with the empty tea cup in his hand.

At this time, You Gui hurriedly walked in, Lin Mo was about to step forward to stop him, Su Shi had already come to his senses and waved his hand at him.

You Gui came to Su Shi with a puzzled expression: "Her Royal Highness the princess has left?" ”

Su Shi said: "Your Highness has urgent matters that need to go back to the palace to deal with it, and now I am a little hungry, although the wine and food on the painting boat are particularly expensive, I am too lazy to run." ”

You Gui's face was as good as orange peel, and he smiled, and said, "Although the wine and food on the painting boat are particularly expensive, Childe also knows that it is worth the money. ”

Su Shi sighed: "A meal costs at least a thousand taels, if you don't find a reason to comfort yourself, wouldn't it really be a big wrong." ”

You Gui withdrew from the room with a smile on his face and went to prepare dinner for Su Shi, while Lin Mo said bitterly on the side: "Childe, it's still early, we might as well set off immediately and rush back to the house." ”

Su Shi said: "You have been on the road for a day, and you should be tired, just rest here, eat and then go back." ”

Lin Mo had to persuade again, Su Shi had already stretched his waist and said with a smile: "I'm tired too." ”

Since Su Shi said this, Lin Mo couldn't say anything, so he had to sit down silently.

The candle flame was dim, and Falco picked the wick with a needle, and the dim candle flame finally became a little brighter.

Falco nodded in satisfaction, because he didn't like places that were too dark.

A middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest is meditating against a wall with his eyes closed.

He didn't open his eyes when Falco walked in, but the bright candle flame seemed to disturb his mind.

Gu Yingkan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Feng Ke, who was dressed in white and had a delicate face.

"Why are you in such a hurry to find me?"

Falco looked around, looked at the humble room, and said, "Naturally, it's because there's something urgent. ”

Gu Ying didn't change his face, but asked lightly, "What's the urgency?" ”

"Do you know that a major event happened in the capital today?"

"I don't know." Gu Yingkan said: "Qi King Zhou Yi must be looking for my whereabouts everywhere now, I don't even dare to go out of this room, how can I know what happened in the capital." ”

Feng Ke said: "After today, Zhou Yi is afraid that he will not have the heart to care about you." ”

Gu Ying's eyes showed a slight look of surprise: "Why?" ”

Falco sighed: "I want to think that compared to Yu Dongyuan, the trouble he is encountering now is bigger and more difficult to solve. ”

Gu Yingkan couldn't help but ask, "What trouble is he in now?" ”

"Su Shi."

"Is him again?"

"Who else would dare to trouble King Qi besides him?"

"What did Su Shi do again?"

Feng Ke said: "He just opened 28 grain shops, 35 restaurants and 5 jade shops at the same time today. ”

Gu Yingkan's eyes widened, his chin almost fell to the ground, and he muttered, "When did the General's Mansion become so rich?" ”

Falco pondered: "There is no money in the General's Mansion, but there is money in the Qianqiu Treasury. ”

Gu Ying looked at it and said, "Isn't the money in the Qianqiu Treasure Bank ......?"

Feng Ke said silently: "Those people would never have imagined that Su Shi would actually use their money against them. ”

Gu Ying said with a smile: "It's not easy to do business in the capital, once he loses money in business, how can he repay the money from the Qianqiu Pledge Treasury after a year?" ”

"It's just a pity that he never seems to lose money in business." Falco sighed: "I estimate that Su Shi earned at least 200,000 taels today. ”

In Gu Yingkan's stunned gaze, Falco took out two crystal clear wine glasses from his arms and placed them on the table.

The candlelight shines on the glass, reflecting a bright light.

"What is this?"

"Wine glasses."

Gu Yingkan stood up, walked to the table, picked up the wine glass, and kept playing: "What kind of wine glass is this?" ”

"Glass wine glasses are sold in the five jade shops newly opened by Su Shi." At this point, he paused and continued, "Do you know how much this glass costs?" ”

"I don't know."

"It's not expensive, it's only ten taels of silver."

Gu Ying shook his hand and looked at this wine glass that could only hold three coins of wine: "So expensive? Who would buy such a small wine glass to drink? ”

Falco sighed: "There are also wine glasses that can hold three taels of wine, but the price is ten times more expensive than it." ”

"One hundred taels!"

"And there are only a hundred wine glasses of various types sold every day, and I only grabbed two of these three-dollar wine glasses."

"What are you doing with such a small wine glass? Wouldn't it be too much trouble to use it for drinking? ”

Falco patted the small jar he had brought on the table, and said, "Because this kind of wine is the most suitable for drinking this kind of wine from this kind of glass." ”

Although Gu Yingkan knew that Feng Ke had brought a jar of wine early on, he didn't care, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but ask, "What kind of wine is this?" ”

"Will be in the wine."

Gu Yingkan frowned and said, "Isn't it a poem about going into wine?" ”

"This is the wine made by Su Shi, and like the poems he wrote, it is also called Jiangjin wine."

After saying that, Falco lightly lifted the cork on the wine jar, and the aroma of the wine immediately filled the wine jar.

only smelled the aroma of wine, and Gu Yingkan was already intoxicated.

"What a strong wine."

Then he was so addicted to alcohol that he couldn't help but pick up the jar and fill his glass.

The wine was as clear as water, Gu Yingkan picked up the wine glass, looked at the wine like water and couldn't help but say: "This wine looks so light, why does it emit such a rich aroma?" ”

"You have a drink."

"Have you ever drunk?"

Falco nodded slightly, and then sat down for a while.

Gu Yingkan raised his glass without hesitation and drank it all.

As soon as the wine entered his throat, Gu Yingkan immediately felt as if his throat had been burned by fire, and then the wine went down his throat, like a flame burning along the way, and then the wine came to his head, and his face suddenly turned slightly red.

"Good wine!"

Gu Ying let out a sigh of relief, because after the strong will, the aroma of wine lingered in his chest.

"A good glass will go in."

Falco didn't seem to be surprised as he seemed to know that he would react like this, but said lightly, "Do you know how much this glass of wine costs?" ”

"How much?"

"This jar of wine is sixty taels of silver, but it's only one catty, so this cup of wine is about one tael of silver."

"This wine is so expensive?"

Feng Ke smiled bitterly: "You still think it's expensive, there won't be more than 5,000 people drinking this kind of wine in the capital today." ”

Gu Ying was slightly stunned: "Why?" ”

"Because each Qianqiu restaurant only has a maximum of 100 catties of wine to be sold, and each person can only buy one catty."

Speaking of this, Falco added: "Do you know that this jar of wine, if I take it to the street and sell it, it can be sold for at least a hundred taels of silver." ”

Gu Ying couldn't speak, he looked at the wine glass and wine jar on the table in a daze, and felt a panic as if he was pressed by a big stone in his heart.

After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "In this way, we shouldn't help Su Shi at all." ”

"It's the teacher's intention to help Su Shi, and even if we don't make a move, I believe that Su Shi has a way to resolve the crisis."
