Chapter 12 The court lord wants to ask for silver!

At noon the next day, the stewards of the three major money houses came to the Lin Mansion, and Chen Chao personally greeted him in front of the mansion.

"Uncle, these three are the business manager, the king manager, and the Li manager. ”

"Three, this is our Lin Mansion's aunt Chen Chao. ”

Lin Da opened his mouth to introduce, otherwise Chen Chao would really not recognize them, and after the introduction, the two sides greeted one after another.

The business manager is a little strong, but he has a literary atmosphere, which is a little different from the appearance of the businessman that Chen Chao thinks.

However, the appearance of Steward Wang and Steward Li is in line with the appearance of businessmen, both of them have small eyes, revealing a shrewdness.

Among the two, Steward Li is the thinnest, with a yellowed face, and there seems to be only one skin on it.

Steward Wang and Steward Li both came alone, only the business steward was followed by a white-faced little guy, who looked very delicate.

He has a small nose and a small mouth, and a pair of big eyes that are very bright.

It's like a daughter's home.

"Oh, this is Shang's distant nephew, when he first arrived here and had nothing to do, I took him around, Chen Gongzi wouldn't mind, right?" Seeing that Chen Chao couldn't help but look at the little guy behind him, the business manager couldn't help but explain.

Chen Chao smiled faintly: "Naturally, I won't mind, three please." "I glanced at the little guy again, and I was leading the way.

The little guy staggered Chen Chao's gaze, and seemed to be a little cowardly.

The three of them were led to the main hall and seated one after another.

"Invite the three stewards at noon, presumably the three of them haven't had lunch yet, right?" Chen Chao asked.

"Gongzi Chen, the Chen family has owed us silver for a long time, and today we said that we want to repay the silver, so I am anxious, where can I take care of lunch. If Chen Gongzi is considerate of the three of us and pays back the debt, we can go back to lunch sooner. ”

Steward Li looked pitiful and miserable.

Could it be that you are so thin in charge of Li, and you are so hungry!

"Yes, Gongzi Chen, you said that you still owe silver today, but I don't know if it's true?"

Only the business manager was still calm and speechless.

Chen Chaodao: "I don't have to worry about the silver beforehand, since the three of us haven't eaten lunch, they naturally can't be hungry, Lin Da, serve the food." ”

"Gongzi Chen, we're not here for dinner, what are you ......" Steward Li was a little displeased.

Chen Chao waved his hand and said: "The one who comes is a guest, and the guest changes with the host, and the three of them are not impatient." ”

Not long after Lin Da went out, a maid came in, and a dish was placed on a wooden tray in her hand, which was brought in by her.

"Chen Gongzi, you invited us here, I'm afraid it's not to pay off the silver, just invite us to dinner, there is actually Wang's favorite steamed fish, you have put your mind on it." ”

The first dish was steamed fish, which was also Steward Wang's favorite food, and Steward Wang was a little surprised.

It's just that Chen Chao wants to say, you think too much, how do I know what you like to eat.

"Chen Gongzi, Wang has always liked to eat fish, and when he smells the fragrance of this fish, he is a little mouthful, so he is welcome. ”

I heard that the Lin family was going to repay the silver, and the three stewards really came without lunch, so the time was naturally there, but the three of them thought that they would take back the silver first, so that they could eat deliciously at lunch, but they were really hungry at this time.

The steward tasted the fish, and nodded his head, which was full of praise.

Steward Shang and Steward Li couldn't help but look forward to it, Chen Chao could prepare his favorite steamed fish for Steward Wang, naturally to please him, so the dishes that the two of them loved to eat must also be prepared.

The two of them didn't move, waiting, waiting for the unexpected surprise.

Even the little guy behind the business steward had such thoughts, and looked at Chen Chao with some surprise.

Seeing the two of them react like this, Chen Chao knew that they had misunderstood, smiled and said: "Two, what is the current situation of the Lin family, you are also clear, you are not afraid of the jokes of the two of you, only this fish was prepared for lunch today."

Please, lest they be eaten by the king's steward. ”

Just a fish?

Surprised?

The people present were stunned, and the chopsticks in the hands of the Wang steward were also stagnant, but soon joy appeared on his face, the Wang family has always had dealings with the Lin family, and he wanted to come to the Chen Dynasty to do this, so he was treated highly, and he was happy in his heart.

"Brother Shang, Brother Li, eat quickly, although this is prepared for me by Gongzi Chen, how can I enjoy it alone, come, please eat fish with me, I have to say, this fish is really delicious." ”

Steward Wang looked generous.

It's just that when his voice fell, and when the business manager and Li steward looked bad, Chen Chao's voice suddenly sounded.

"Steward Wang, I'm afraid you misunderstood, this fish is made by me myself, but I don't know that Steward Wang likes to eat, and I don't have to please Steward Wang, otherwise I wouldn't have the share of Steward Li and Steward Li, and if I had known that Steward Wang loves to eat fish, I really wouldn't be able to make fish. ”

Chen Chao said with a serious face, not giving Wang Guan any face.

Hearing these words, Lin Zheng and Mrs. Lin, who were eavesdropping in the main hall, were beating wildly.

This is forcing people to ask for silver, and there is absolutely no room for accommodation, just now the misunderstanding of the king steward, Lin Zheng and Mrs. Lin thought that Chen Chao was also currying favor, but they didn't expect that everything is a fantasy now.

To do bad things.

But Lin Zheng is not good at the moment, but he is afraid that it will be more embarrassing to go out.

Chen Chao didn't seem to see Steward Wang's face like pork liver, and naturally he didn't care about the reaction and mood of Steward Shang and Steward Li, whether the two of them were more balanced because he said this, or he was as angry as Steward Wang, he didn't care at all.

"Hee-hee. ”

But the little guy behind the business steward couldn't help laughing.

Chen Chao glanced at this little guy, and the other party knew that he was rude, so he forcibly held back, but his face was red, like a red apple, and there was a sense of delicate desire.

Seeing this, Chen Chao couldn't help but grin vaguely.

"Three, I made this fish today, just to make it better to drink, and I have no other meaning. ”

Signaling Lin Da, Lin Da took a jar of wine and divided the wine glasses for the three of them.

"Chen Gongzi, I think this wine and food are all free, let's talk about business. The business manager couldn't help but speak.

Chen Chao nodded lightly and said, "It's okay, in this way, let's talk while eating." ”

As he spoke, he opened the lid of the jar.

Suddenly, a soaking aroma of wine overflowed.

The three stewards were all moved.

The little guy couldn't help but say, "What a fragrant wine!"

Chen Chao ignored their reactions and poured wine for the three of them.

"Please, three. ”

The three stewards smelled the aroma of the wine, and they didn't rush to urge Chen Chao anymore, they all picked up the wine glass and put it under their noses, as if they were sniffing with enjoyment, and then drank it slowly.

"The entrance is spicy, the intestines are turning, and the wine is good!" the business steward sighed, as if he was still unfinished.

Steward Wang and Steward Li are the same, their faces are full of enjoyment, and they can't see their previous displeasure.

"Gongzi Chen, where did you get this wine?" the business manager asked very seriously.

The same is true of Steward Wang and Steward Li, although the three of them are the stewards of the money village, but the minds of the merchants make them immediately aware of the business opportunities of this wine.

The three of them all stared at Chen Chao tightly, afraid that Chen Chao would say that he didn't know.

Chen Chao saw the reaction of the three of them, and his heart was even more confident.

He said, "What do the three of you think of this wine?"

"This wine is better than this fish. Steward Wang spoke, and Steward Shang and Steward Li nodded in agreement.

Chen Chaodao: "This wine is not hidden, it is brewed by my Lin family." ”

"Made by the Lin family?" the three of them were a little unconvinced.

Chen Chaodao: "Can the three of you drink such wine elsewhere?"

The three shook their heads.

Chen Chaodao: "This wine is made by the Lin family, and it is for this wine that the three stewards are invited to come today." ”

"What does Chen Gongzi want to say?"

The business manager asked.

Chen Chaodao: "This wine is called the best wine in the world, I think the three of them will not have an opinion, so what does this wine mean, the three of them also know how much benefit it can bring, I don't need to say, the three of them can also think of it."

It's just that at present, although the Lin family has this method of brewing, it is newly created, and if you want to brew it in large quantities, you need a large amount of silver, so I want to ask the three stewards to give some silver. ”

"Gongzi Chen wants to borrow some more silver from us?" Steward Li asked with squinted eyes, his skinny face a little displeased.

Chen Chaodao: "It's not to borrow, but to ask." ”
