Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 555 Finding Chen Qingzhi

"Mr., I don't know if you know a man named Chen Qingzhi?" Li Fu said while pointing to the piece of barbecue in his hand.

"Huh? You actually know my grandson!" The old man turned his head and said in surprise after hearing Li Fu's question.

"Is he your grandson?" Li Fu was a little surprised.

"Yes!" The old man said with a smile.

"Then where is he now?"

"I don't know! These few days, he has never been to my house, so I don't know where he is now!" The old man shook his head.

"Then... then did he mention a person named Li Fu?" Li Fu asked eagerly.

The old man frowned, thought for a while and said, "In the past few days, he did mention a man named Li Fu."

"Then what did he say?"

When the old man heard Li Fu's question, he remembered.

"Oh, yes, I remember a young man, I seem to know him! I don't know where he is now!" The old man replied.

After hearing the old man's words, Li Fu grabbed his arm excitedly: "Where is he? Tell me quickly!"

"Okay, okay! Calm down a little bit, he's in the village at the foot of the mountain!"

"Thank you, grandpa, then I'll go first!"

"Okay, young man, let's go slowly!"

After finishing speaking, Li Fu walked towards the other end of the village.

When Li Fu came to the other end of the village, Li Fu saw a young man in white clothes.

"Who are you?" Li Fu looked at the young man and asked.

The young man looked up at Li Fu and said, "My name is Chen Qingzhi!"

"Chen Qingzhi...Chen Qingzhi, I remembered, it's you!"

Afterwards, Chen Qingzhi and Li Fu came to the Chen Mansion, and Chen Qingzhi brought Li Fu to a hall.

"Come here, serve me food and wine!"

After sitting down, Chen Qingzhi said to his servants.

Li Fu looked at the servants filling the table with delicious food and wine, and said, "Master Chen, did you invite me to your house to compete with me?"

"No, I came to you today to discuss the salt business with you." Chen Qingzhi said with a smile.

Li Fu was slightly taken aback: "Discuss about the salt business?"

"Yes, about the salt business."

"I didn't expect you to like doing business, so what do you think?" Li Fu asked.

"Salt is one of the grains of the country. I think we should sell the salt in many shares so that we can earn more silver taels." Chen Qingzhi said.

After listening to Chen Qingzhi's words, Li Fu thought for a while, and felt that what he said made sense.

Afterwards, he thought about it again, and said to Chen Qingzhi: "I think so, we will each contribute half of the capital, and each of us will contribute half."

After Li Fu finished speaking, he looked at Chen Qingzhi.

Chen Qingzhi smiled after hearing Li Fu's words, and said: "No, no, we can't each contribute half, let's each take 20.00% of the share!"

"20.00%?" Li Fu was taken aback after hearing this.

"Well, yes! Think about it! The two of us each have 20.00% of the share, and the remaining 60.00%, we will find someone else."

"This... this is too much, how can you be so greedy?"

Chen Qingzhi smiled, and then said:
"We are fellow villagers, but I can't fully trust you! We can't let you leave me after taking so many benefits, so we'd better be safe!"

After listening to Chen Qingzhi's explanation, Li Fu felt that what he said made sense, so he stopped refuting.

"Alright then, I agree." Li Fu said.

"That's right! Then I'll be rude!" Chen Qingzhi said with a smile.

Afterwards, Chen Qingzhi began to entertain Li Fu for drinks and chats.

Glass after glass of wine, Chen Qingzhi continued to respect Li Fu, while Li Fu chatted with Chen Qingzhi while eating and drinking.

Chen Qingzhi saw that Li Fu was getting more and more drunk, so he left with an excuse.

After he left, Li Fu stood up staggeringly and walked a few steps. Finally, he fell asleep lying on the table.

"Hey, Li Fu, Li Fu!"

Li Fu was sleeping soundly, when he suddenly heard someone calling him, so he opened his eyes, and after seeing the person clearly, he smiled and said, "You drank too much! I'll take you home!"

"Oh, I'll trouble you then!" Li Fu said weakly.

Chen Qingzhi helped Li Fu to the door, and Li Fu's carriage was already waiting at the door. After Chen Qingzhi helped Li Fu get into the carriage, Li Fu closed his eyes and rested.

Seeing this, Chen Qingzhi also closed his eyes and meditated.

It was already night when Li Fu woke up, he felt that he was so hungry that he touched his stomach and said, "I'm starving to death."

Chen Qingzhi opened his eyes after hearing Li Fu's voice, and said to Li Fu, "Li Fu! Are you awake? You're so drunk that you don't know anything."

Li Fu looked at Chen Qingzhi and nodded, "En! Mr. Chen, is what you just said true?"

Chen Qingzhi nodded and said, "Of course it's true. Why am I lying to you? By the way, I want to talk to you about business."

Li Fu smiled and said: "Okay then, tell me, what kind of business is it?" "

"That's right, I plan to expand the salt business to the whole country! What do you think?" Chen Qingzhi said.

"Are you really planning to do this kind of business?" Li Fu said in disbelief.

"Don't worry, I will never lie to you, what do you think?" Chen Qingzhi said with a smile.

"Okay, since you are so persistent, then I agree, you can take me to your salt shop first." Li Fu said.

"Okay, I'll take you there right now!" With that said, Chen Qingzhi took Li Fu to a small restaurant and asked the shopkeeper to help him get some wine.

After buying the wine, Li Fu followed Chen Qingzhi to the salt shop.

"Guest officer, what do you want to order?" The shopkeeper looked at Chen Qingzhi and Li Fu and said with a smile.

Chen Qingzhi looked at the shopkeeper and said with a smile, "Two jugs of wine and a catty of meat."

"Okay, please wait for a moment!" The shopkeeper responded, then turned and walked into the kitchen to prepare.

Chen Qingzhi and Li Fu sat at a table, watching the shopkeeper busy.

"Mr. Chen, I didn't expect you to drink so much. I really admire you for drinking so much in such a jar!" Li Fu looked at Chen Qingzhi and praised.

"Hehe, I don't drink as much as you! My father taught me how to drink, so I can't compare with you!" Chen Qingzhi said modestly.

"Hahaha, Mr. Chen, you are being modest." Li Fu said with a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Li Fu, you and I don't need to be polite, and I don't need to be humble with you, no matter what it is, we are almost the same!"
