Chapter 31: Three Things
Duan Yunsleeve lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Yes, when I first met him, I was impressed by his talent and uninhibitedness, but he wanted to do business......
After a long time, Duan Yunsleeve raised his head sharply and snorted: "What I like is his difference, he just does big things without being informal!" How many civil officials and talented people inside and outside the government and the opposition know that they are talking big and useless nonsense, which is like him, he doesn't care about the official position, and resolutely goes to run an industry! β
Duan Yunyi just looked at his sister calmly.
Duan Yunsleeve and his sister looked at each other for a moment, muttering in their hearts: "I'm not wrong, he's that kind of person......"
But soon, Duan Yunsleeve realized his problem and blushed.
Unconsciously, he was more and more protective of that guy.
He's so hateful!
Suddenly, Duan Yunsleeve's gaze fell on Duan Yunyi's pen, and he found that Duan Yunyi mentioned the word "Mu Qinxue", and he was suddenly curious.
"What is my sister writing?"
Duan Yunyi said unhurriedly: "Prepare the edict in advance, and when the time is ripe, make her a princess." β
Duan Yunsleeve was stunned for a moment, and suddenly recalled the "merger" that Duan Yunyi had mentioned, and immediately blushed.
"Sister!!"
Duan Yunyi didn't hear it, and said to himself: "Find a time, bring him to see my sister, my sister wants to see with her own eyes, what kind of person he is." β
At noon the next day, Mu Qinxue knelt in front of her mother, Mrs. Mu, with a well-behaved face.
Mrs. Mu said bitterly: "You kid, you really can't do business anymore!" Your father asked you to buy at a price of 300 wen per catty, and you went to talk to Liang Xiao about 330 wen! β
Mu Qinxue said with a look of grievance: "The child has already tried to negotiate with him, but three hundred and thirty Wen is already his bottom line, and it could have been a higher ......"
Lin'er on the side was holding back her laughter and was uncomfortable, trembling violently.
She witnessed with her own eyes how her young lady bargained with Liang Xiao in reverse.
Mrs. Mu shook her head and sighed: "These thirty Wen is a small amount of money, but you have to understand the truth that a little money adds up." What's more, the first price of white sugar was only 200 wen per catty, and our family bid 300 wen, which is already a huge risk, silly boy, you don't understand! β
Mu Qinxue nodded vigorously and said, "The child thinks that the price of this sugar can't be lowered for a while, so it's better to be ...... quickly."
Mrs. Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Silly boy, you are here again!" You tell Wei Niang truthfully, did his couplet and a poem make you fall in love? β
Mu Qinxue hurriedly explained: "The child has always been on business, how can he take care of a person who has never known all his life!" β
Mrs. Mu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's right, with your eyes, how can you fall in love with such a criminal minister...... But at the price of three hundred and thirty wen, I'm afraid we will really ......"
At this moment, the housekeeper outside anxiously came to report.
"Madame, Miss! The sugar sold by Liang Xiao was bought by the Gongsun family at a price of 500 wen per catty! β
"Really?" Mrs. Mu was shocked.
Even Mu Qinxue was stunned.
She just wanted to help her wife, so she raised the unit price of bulk sugar purchases.
What kind of trouble is the Gongsun family?
The housekeeper hurriedly reminded: "Madam, Miss, we have estimated, the price of this white sugar will remain high for a while, and it is impossible to be less than four hundred Wen!" Miss made a lot of money this time, and Liang Xiao said that she could bring two thousand catties of sugar in the afternoon! β
Mrs. finally turned her worries into joy, helped Mu Qinxue up, held her in her arms, and was full of praise.
"It turns out that my Xiaoxue is prescient!"
Two thousand catties of sugar were shipped in large quantities, and Mu Qinxue personally counted them, and both parties were happy.
Mu Qinxue finally relieved herself to hand over the sugar business to the housekeeper and went back to rest by herself.
In the room, Duan Yunchong, who had been waiting for a long time, was about to ask, but heard Mu Qinxue say, "Oops! Sister Yun Sleeve, I'm so guilty, I let him lose one hundred and seventy Wen per catty......"
Duan Yunchong hurriedly comforted: "He said, you can make a lot of money by selling two hundred Wen, and my sister doesn't have to blame herself." β
Mu Qinxue said: "Less money is a loss, he has lost a lot!" β
Duan Yunsleeve was speechless.
The arrival of two thousand catties of white sugar is enough for Mujia Pastry Shop to prepare sufficient seasoning raw materials to make more desserts and briefly monopolize the pastry market in this area.
"Sister, he must have been full of wealth, but he went to be a disgusting businessman, don't you mind?" Duan Yunsleeve said curiously.
Mu Qinxue said categorically: "As the saying goes, marrying a chicken is a chicken and marrying a dog is a dog, not to mention that my man can already make money in business!" I have to believe him, he will be able to play more tricks, just like this white sugar is born. β
"That's right......"
Duan Yunsleeve nodded slightly, and couldn't help but admire: "In comparison, my trust in him is still not enough...... Oh no, he's not my fiancΓ©! β
Duan Yunsleeve came back to his senses, abandoned distracting thoughts, said goodbye to Mu Qinxue with a red face, and ran to Liang Xiao's house.
It was nighttime.
"Father-in-law Lin, soon I will be able to repay you a thousand taels and give you a hundred percent of the sugar profit!"
As soon as she entered the door, Liang Xiao welcomed her into the courtyard with joy on her face and reported the good news to her.
"Give me a profit?" Duan Yunsleeves were stunned.
"Not bad! I, Liang Xiao, have always done what I say, not to mention that Gonggong Lin is my nobleman. Liang Xiao nodded.
"It's up to you, I don't want to ...... profits" Duan Yunsleeve agreed casually, remembered something, and said, "You just have to take the one thousand taels of silver, and I don't want it either." β
"How could you not want it! Especially this thousand taels, it has helped me a lot, and I must pay you back! Liang Xiao said.
Duan Yunsleeve hurriedly said, "You misunderstood!" β
"Misunderstanding?" Liang Xiao looked puzzled.
"Do you remember your promise to me if the money is lost?" Duan Yunsleeve asked.
"Remember! In the future, we must do three things for Lin Gonggong on the premise of not breaking the law and committing crimes. Liang Xiao replied.
Duan Yunsleeve said in a slightly pleading tone: "This thousand taels, I don't want you to pay it back, you can do one thing for me in the future, just one piece." β
Liang Xiao thought for a while and shook his head: "No! β
Duan Yunsleeve nodded disappointedly: "I don't force you to ......"
Liang Xiao hurriedly said: "Gonggong Lin also misunderstood what I meant!" Since His Majesty sent Gonggong Lin to visit, I promised you alone that it was somewhat inappropriate, so let's do one thing for you and two things for Your Majesty in the future. How is it? β
And this good thing?
Duan Yun's sleeves were full of joy, but on the surface, he just smiled and said, "It's worthy of Liang Gongzi, I didn't look away!" β
"I'm going to cook for Xue'er and them myself, has Grandpa Lin ever eaten?" Liang Xiao asked.
Duan Yunsleeve's eyes lit up: "You want to cook by yourself?" I haven't eaten that yet. β
