Wife is an enemy general

001.

In the early years, this duck was a tribute duck, and many people spent a lot of money to buy it in order to taste the taste.

But this duck breed is very rare, and it is not easy to raise it. The demand in the palace is insufficient, so even if you have money, you can hardly buy it.

Later, because of the war between the two countries and the chaos in Daning, something happened to the people who raised the ducks, which made the number of ducks less and less. It was very difficult to see the ducks later, even the people in the palace... Out of stock.

All in all, it has been more than seven years since the company, and this thing has not been seen on the market.

The chef turned the duck over and over again carefully, and then put his eyes on Li Mu's face. He looked at Li Mu very curiously, "Where did you get this thing?"

Where did Li Mu get something that didn't exist in the palace?

"My family raised it." Li Mu said truthfully.

He knew that this thing was rare, and many people had told him about it before, but this person's behavior was a bit extreme.

The chef's expression became more and more strange when he heard the words. He looked at Li Mu for a long time before saying, "Wait." After he finished speaking, he ran into the restaurant, holding the duck in his arms all the time when he left. Not willing to let go.

Li Mu turned his head to look at Zhong Xiuyuan, and the two of them looked at each other in blank dismay. After a while, the shopkeeper who hadn't seen him for a while rushed over with the chef.

"Oh, long time no see, Boss Li." Seeing Li Mu, the shopkeeper immediately held Li Mu's hand enthusiastically, as if meeting his long-lost father.

Li Mu was staggered by him, he struggled to pull his hand back, but the shopkeeper kept holding him, "Why don't you say anything when you're here, so I can come to greet you in person."

Li Mu became more and more inexplicable.

In terms of his business with this restaurant, he is the one at the bottom. After all, he is the one who counts on the shopkeeper to make money. In the past, when he delivered the goods, the shopkeeper's attitude was relatively cold, at least not as enthusiastic as it is now. Son.

"The shopkeeper." Zhong Xiuyuan stretched out his hand, held the shopkeeper's hand, and pulled the shopkeeper's hand forcefully away.

This person suddenly rushed out and grabbed Li Mu, causing Zhong Xiuyuan's eyes to be glued tightly to their clenched hands.

Although he knew that this was just an ordinary situation, he still couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

"I was rude, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The shopkeeper didn't feel angry because of Zhong Xiuyuan's actions. Instead, he became more respectful after calming down, "Why are you two still standing here? Come and follow me sit."

Li Mu looked back at Zhong Xiuyuan who was next to him again, he became more and more puzzled, the shopkeeper might have taken the wrong medicine.

"No, shopkeeper, let's stand here and talk if we have anything to say." Zhong Xiuyuan refused for Li Mu.

The shopkeeper failed to invite Li Mu, still not angry, but said: "Didn't you two live here, did you find a place to live? If you don't find it, you can stay with us, how about it?"

"The shopkeeper." Li Mu opened his mouth, with a questioning face on his expressionless face, telling him to cut down the nonsense and speak directly.

Seeing that Li Mu did the same, the shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, rubbed his hands, and then said: "I heard from our chef, Boss Li, you brought tribute ducks this time?"

Following the shopkeeper's question, the duck held in the chef's arms like a baby quacked twice, trying to struggle.

"Yes." Li Mu nodded.

Seeing Li Mu nodding, the shopkeeper asked cautiously, "I heard from him that you raised this duck yourself, Boss Li?"

Li Mu nodded again.

"Boss Li is really serious. You have this kind of duck, so why don't you tell me about it. If I had known that you had this kind of duck, then I wouldn't let you come in through the back door every time." The shopkeeper After listening to Li Mu's words, you have become you.

Li Mu didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed when facing the silent Li Mu, but he had known Li Mu for so long, and he probably knew that Li Mu had such a personality, so he didn't mind but continued to talk to himself: "How about this duck?" how many?"

"Why?" Since when did the shopkeeper care about how many ducks he has in his family?

Seeing that Li Mu didn't speak, the shopkeeper said again: "That's right, it's hard to talk about this kind of thing, so how many are you going to sell this time, Boss Li?"

"There are only five of them that are going to be sold this time. I want to try to see if I can sell them." Although Li Mu didn't understand what the shopkeeper was going crazy about, he could probably guess that the shopkeeper wanted to buy him. those ducks.

He only has a dozen or so ducks in his hands now, and after selling them, there are only twelve left. Now he doesn't want to show his cards with this person, but he wants to know why this person is like this.

"Five..." The shopkeeper thought for a while with his downcast eyes. On weekdays, Li Mu sent him hundreds of ducks, and a batch would be delivered every two to three months.

Compared with these hundreds of ducks, these five ducks seem to be pitifully few now, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of the shopkeeper.

"I bought them all for you, what price do you offer?" The shopkeeper nodded and bowed.

"Buy all?" Li Mu repeated.

He brought only one duck here. His original plan was to go to several cooperative stores to have a look, so that if he wanted to sell it in the future, he would probably know the situation. He didn't plan to sell it out in this one store.

"Yes!" The shopkeeper nodded, and then seemed to remember something, pulling Li Mu nervously, "Boss Li, we have cooperated for such a long time, can you still believe me? The price is negotiable, you open price."

Seeing the ingratiating appearance of the shopkeeper, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan looked at each other again.

At this glance, both of them understood the other's meaning from the other's eyes.

After a while, Zhong Xiuyuan said on his behalf: "The shopkeeper is telling the truth. In fact, we only brought five ducks with us this time. There are not many ducks in our family now. Now this batch is the first batch of ducks to raise. It came out, because I haven’t sold it before, so I thought to give it a try and see if there is a market.”

Zhong Xiuyuan's words were brilliant. Although he had told most of his situation, he had set a trap for the shopkeeper.

This is the first batch, let's try it out, the implication is that if the situation is good, there will be a next batch, and the next batch will definitely be larger than this batch.

Hearing Zhong Xiuyuan's words, the shopkeeper's face flashed with panic, and then he thought about it for a moment, and then seemed to be cruel, "Boss Li is a capable person, and he can raise such ducks. In the eyes of Xiagou, people are inferior, if there is any offense in the past, Boss Li, please don't mind."

After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper changed the subject and said again: "Let's talk about this matter slowly, why not go and sit inside, and I will let Xiaoer make a pot of good tea."

Knowing that this matter was not easy, the two refused again, and followed the shopkeeper into the restaurant.

The shopkeeper led the two of them to the private room on the third floor, and asked the waiter to bring a pot of good tea.

After a few people sat down and drank tea, he said again: "Boss Li is planning to expand the business of this tribute duck?"

"It's natural." Li Mu took a sip of the tea in front of him.

Li Mu doesn't know much about tea, but even so, he can taste the tea with a light fragrance, which should be high-quality tea, not something ordinary people can drink.

The shopkeeper took out all this kind of tea, it seems that he was cruel.

"Then Boss Li, what do you think of this?" The shopkeeper tugged on his sleeve and gestured at the cuff.

This is a commonly used method of bargaining in the market. On the one hand, it is to prevent peers in the market from having ear-pressing prices, and on the other hand, it is also to save a lot of trouble for buyers who carry money with them.

When looking at the shopkeeper, Li Mu's handsome face remained unchanged. He picked up the teacup on the table and took another sip, still with that calm and calm expression.

In fact, the thoughts in his heart have already turned a few corners.

The price that the shopkeeper just showed him made him a little confused.

This price is very high, almost topping the price of the hundreds of ducks he raised before.

Five ducks are worth the price of a hundred ordinary ducks. Even if this thing is a tribute duck, it is a bit too high, and the shopkeeper still has something to say.

Li Mu thought secretly without changing his expression, but the shopkeeper was a little anxious when he saw that Li Mu was just drinking tea in silence.

He sized Li Mu's eyes again, then became cruel, and gestured again, "That's not the number."

Looking at the number, even Zhong Xiuyuan who was at the side was a little surprised.

Li Mu still didn't speak, the shopkeeper wanted to buy out his stuff?

Seeing that Li Mu was still silent, with a thin layer of sweat on his face, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth for a moment, and couldn't help but said, "I know the price is not high, but Boss Li, we have been doing business for so long. Everything in this business comes and goes, doesn’t it?”

The price is not high?

Li Mu had no expression on his face, but he was smiling wryly in his heart.

He has worked hard for more than three months to raise thousands of ordinary ducks, but he still can't afford the price of [-] ducks of this kind. According to the shopkeeper, is the price still low?

In the past, Li Mu only regarded this duck as an ordinary duck, and thought that it was more expensive and rare, but now he really thinks that this duck has become a golden lump.

"How is Boss Li? Why don't you open your mouth." Seeing that Li Mu had remained silent, the shopkeeper became more and more anxious.

Li Mu put down the cup after drinking a cup of tea, and the shopkeeper quickly filled it up for him.

Seeing the shopkeeper being so considerate, Li Mu thought for a while before saying, "I'm not going to sell out all the ducks at once."

"Oh, my Boss Li, you..." When he heard that Li Mu was not going to sell them all, the shopkeeper became anxious immediately.

Li Mu raised his hand and stopped him from continuing, "Shopkeeper, you also know that this business needs to be done for a long time. I have been cooperating with several other stores in Anfu before. I came here this time just to Take a look at the situation, as for the future, we will talk about it later, no one can say for sure now."

If the duck is really a golden bump, then he has to check the situation, and he can't just sell the duck all at once.

The shopkeeper was very anxious after hearing Li Mu's words, but there was nothing he could do about it, because Li Mu was also in business, and the shopkeeper understood what he was thinking.

After lobbying for a while, the shopkeeper said again: "We are all in business, so I won't slander others. Boss Li, you have to sell me three ducks this time! I can give you another price for each duck." You add this much." After speaking, he gestured to Li Mu again.

"Huh?" Li Mu looked back, three?

Isn't the price mentioned by the shopkeeper the price of five pieces?

002.

Li Mu was surprised. After drinking a cup of tea and calming down, Zhong Xiuyuan said obliquely, "The shopkeeper has a good appetite. We only brought five this time, and you want three now."

The shopkeeper smiled, "Who doesn't know that the tribute duck is out of stock in the palace now, so I have to hurry up and keep some."

Zhong Xiuyuan was the same as Li Mu before, although he knew that the duck was more expensive, but he didn't know that it was worth so much money, and he couldn't recall it for a moment.

One is the price just now, so the average price of one duck is more than 100 times that of ordinary ducks. Dozens of these ducks are worth more than a thousand ordinary ducks that Li Mu raised before...

"Why?" Seeing that the two of them were still silent, the shopkeeper was a little puzzled.

Zhong Xiuyuan shook his head and stopped talking.

But the shopkeeper could vaguely see something from the expressions of the two, "If you two have any difficulties, just ask, and I will definitely do my best to help."

Li Mu put down his teacup, he wanted to get another set of words from the shopkeeper, but now he couldn't recover, "Shopkeeper, in your opinion, this duck is very rare?"

Hearing Li Mu's words, the shopkeeper came back to his senses in an instant, and he remembered what Li Mu had told him before, that they were just checking the situation this time.

When he saw this duck before, he was so surprised for a moment that he forgot that there was such a thing.

Now that he came back to his senses, he finally remembered.

Daringly, Li Mu didn't know the price of this duck at all, he was still on the sidelines trying to increase the price himself!

The shopkeeper was a little annoyed, but soon the annoyance dissipated. He rolled his eyeballs, showing some flattery.

"Boss Li, what do you think?" The shopkeeper asked without answering.

Although he was a little annoyed that he had missed it so easily before, he didn't regret it.

Even if he knew from the beginning that Li Mu didn't know the price of the duck, he still had to charge the price according to this price.

Li Mu not only has one cooperative store in Anfu, he also knows about it.

Everyone knows the price of this duck. If he tricks Li Mu here for a while, and Li Mu leaves the door later, he will know everything as soon as someone reminds him. On the contrary, he and Li Mu will definitely not have it. Second time in business.

In the current situation, Li Mu has a tribute duck in his hand, even if he spends more money to get in, he definitely can't cut himself off.

"I know this duck is relatively rare and rare." Li Mu said.

He had inadvertently learned about this from the mouth of the magistrate, and then he went directly to the mountain to buy duck eggs. Later, although he probably knew that the ducks were relatively rare, he didn't pay much attention to them.

After all, ducks with white spots on their backs were said to be rare.

Hearing Li Mu's understatement, which was rare and rare, the shopkeeper's face turned red, and it took him a long time to regain his composure.

The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, angry and funny, "Boss Li, what do you think of the tribute duck?"

Li Mu was still bewildered, and even Zhong Xiuyuan next to him was as bewildered as Li Mu at the moment.

Holding a cup of tea in each hand, the two of them sat there obediently and looked at him, looking obediently taught.

Seeing this, the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth couldn't help twitching violently, these two people...

These two people held the golden bump in their hands, but they thought it was a golden corn bun, how could people not be angry?

The shopkeeper took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to hit someone, and slowly said to Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan: "This thing is a tribute duck. I didn't say it before, but now it's even in the palace. Do you think something that the emperor can't eat is worth money?"

In this way, this duck is really worth a little bit.

After all, it is something that the emperor can't eat. Once the name is given out, it is estimated that a large number of people will gather around to watch the excitement.

The shopkeeper saw Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan, who were opposite him, nodded obediently, looking like a teachable child, and he was a little speechless for a while.

These two idiots haven't figured out the value of this thing at all!

The shopkeeper took another deep breath to calm down his already boiling blood.

"Do you know that ducks were extremely rare even ten years ago." The shopkeeper said slowly.

Before the war started, this duck was already a very rare thing when it was a tribute duck in the palace more than ten years ago.

On average, no more than one hundred ducks are sent to the palace every year, and sometimes only fifty or sixty ducks can be sent.

An emperor who eats delicacies from mountains and seas, if he wants to eat a duck, he has to count the quantity and eat it sparingly. Even if the emperor doesn't miss this thing very much, the rarity of this thing itself is already amazing.

In addition, the meat quality of the duck itself is extraordinarily delicious. Even if it is stewed without adding anything, the stewed soup and duck meat are extraordinarily delicious and attractive.

It is said that this stuff has the value of being used as medicine, it has the effect of clearing the heart, calming the mind, benefiting the mind, and improving the purpose, especially for those who are physically weak, blood loss, and weak.

Once upon a time, this thing was as precious as those precious shark's fins, bird's nests, abalones, and deer antlers. If princes and ministers wanted to try something new, they had to weigh whether they were qualified.

It goes without saying that such things are highly praised and rare among the people.

Many rich people, even if they spend a lot of money, still can't buy one.

After the war, that item became more and more rare, and even the emperor in the palace couldn't eat it anymore, so the value naturally climbed up again and again.

Although the value of this thing is not as high as that of thousand-year-old ginseng, it is already on par with it in all aspects, at least in terms of external demand, it will not be much worse than it.

If his restaurant can buy such ducks, as long as the news is released, there will be no fewer people who will be moved by the news. If it can be supplied for a long time, it is estimated that his threshold will be broken by those diners.

"So I really want to have a long-term cooperation with Boss Li." After some explanations, the shopkeeper couldn't help but add another sentence, "In terms of price, Boss Li, please don't worry, as long as I can afford it Definitely not stingy."

This duck is just a duck to Li Mu, but it has become a famous delicacy in his hands, and the price will naturally increase several times when it is sold.

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Li Mu thought about it for a while, and then got up to say goodbye to the shopkeeper, "Thank you for the shopkeeper's explanation, I have been educated. I naturally hope that this business can last for a long time, but the specific situation , I have to wait until the duck in my hand grows up before I can say it specifically."

If the duck is really as rare as the shopkeeper said, then naturally he can't just promise anything at this time.

"Then this duck..." The shopkeeper looked at Li Mu eagerly.

"According to the shopkeeper, three of the five ducks are reserved for the shopkeeper." Li Mu also knows how to repay kindness.

The shopkeeper told him everything, although on the one hand there was indeed a reason for wanting to curry favor with the two of them, but Li Mu had indeed benefited a lot because of him.

"That's good!" The shopkeeper immediately got up and thanked Li Mu with his hands clasped.

After sending Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan to the door, he couldn't help but keep them together and said, "If Boss Li wants to sell this duck again in the future, he must remember it."

Li Mu nodded, thanked the shopkeeper for the tea, and went back to the inn with Zhong Xiuyuan.

It was already mid-afternoon when the two went out, the street was very lively, pedestrians coming and going, hawkers yelling, tourists bargaining, all these made the whole street lively.

After returning from this restaurant, the mood of the two of them was completely different from before.

Before, Li Mu really didn't take this duck seriously. Although he raised it carefully, it was only because he heard that the duck was easy to die, but now someone told him that it was a golden bump...

Before he bought [-] duck eggs from Qingmu Guan's family, only a dozen ducks were hatched in total. Later, a few ducks died during the raising process, and now there are only seventeen ducks left in total.

Excluding the five male ducks they brought this time, there are only twelve ducks left in the family, two males and ten females.

If these ten female ducks can lay eggs every day, he will have more than 300 eggs in a month, which is a large number.

However, the number of these things seems to be quite large, but judging from the previous situation, there are only about a hundred of them that can be fed. It cannot be ruled out that he fed half of them this time because of luck.

Maybe the next time you are unlucky, [-] duck eggs can only feed [-] duck eggs.

Even on the best side, next time his 100 duck eggs can feed more than [-] ducks, he will definitely keep the female ducks to lay eggs, and it is estimated that there are only fifty or sixty male ducks that can be sold.

As Li Mu walked, he calculated the account in his heart.

Although the inventory experience is very small, these fifty or sixty ducks are enough for him to raise thousands of ordinary ducks.

The more he calculated like this, the more complicated Li Mu felt.

When they reached the entrance of the inn, before the two of them had time to enter the inn, a person greeted them head-on.

"Boss Li, long time no see!" Li Mu, who was distracted, looked at the middle-aged man in brocade who suddenly rushed out in front of him, and he was stunned for a long time before he finally came back to his senses.

"You are?" Li Mu felt that the person in front of him was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who this person was.

"Boss Li is really a noble man who forgets things so much, you forget about me?" The middle-aged man said so, but his face was still full of smiles, and he didn't mean to blame Li Mu at all.

Li Mu turned his head to look at Zhong Xiuyuan next to him, the latter shook his head, he had no impression of this person.

"You really forgot." The middle-aged man reminded with a smile: "It's been a long time since you came to Anfu to deliver ducks in person. It's been a long time since I saw you. It's not surprising that you forgot me."

After hearing this person's words, Li Mu immediately came to his senses. This person was also one of the restaurants he had cooperated with before.

"Boss Wang." Li Mu clasped fists with him, "Sorry, I didn't come to my senses before."

"It's okay, it's okay." Boss Wang didn't care.

"I don't know what Boss Wang is doing here?" Li Mu looked at the person in front of him inexplicably. He didn't bring the ducks this time, and it's not time to deliver the ducks now. How could this person be here?

"I came here this time to find you." Boss Wang said, "It's not convenient here. How about Boss Li, please come and talk with me? I'll let Xiaoer make a pot of good tea, let's talk slowly."

Hearing this man's words, Li Mu came back to his senses in an instant. This man also came after ducks?

003.

He had only sold three ducks before, and he had only just left the front door, and the back foot hadn't arrived at the inn yet, why did this man hear the news, and they all came here to wait for him.

"We've just come back, and we're a little tired, why don't Boss Wang condescend to come into the inn with us to have a talk?" Li Mu said.

With what the shopkeeper said before, he has to carefully calculate whether the duck will be sold or not, and how to sell it.

"That's okay." Boss Wang said with a smile.

After entering the inn and closing the door, Li Mu sat down. Boss Wang had already clasped his fists and said to Li Mu: "I heard that you have a batch of tribute ducks, Boss Li? I don't know if this is true or not?"

Hearing what this person said, Li Mu knew that this person was really coming towards that duck.

"It's true." Li Mu said calmly.

"Then how much Boss Li still has in hand, I'll buy them all for you!" Boss Wang hurriedly said again.

"Sit." Zhong Xiuyuan went to the side and poured tea, and put it on the table.

"Who is this?" Boss Wang looked back at Zhong Xiuyuan.

In the past, when Li Mu came to deliver the goods, he was mostly busy. Except for seeing Li Mu during the first two discussions, he basically didn't have the mood to pay attention to Li Mu, a small person who delivered ducks to them, and naturally he didn't know Zhong Xiuyuan. .

"At home, my surname is Li." Li Mu said.

Because of Zhong Xiuyuan's special status, Li Mu always said this outside.The same is true of Zhong Xiuyuan himself, if someone asks, he will always say that Li Mu is surnamed Li.

When Li Mu said this, Boss Wang's eyes flickered for a moment to understand, and after looking at Zhong Xiuyuan in surprise, he stopped entangled in this matter.

He and Li Mu are just in the business field, not close enough to manage Li Mu's personal affairs.

"This Mr. Li is a good-looking talent." Boss Wang cupped his fists at Zhong Xiuyuan.

Zhong Xiuyuan pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't speak.

Boss Wang didn't care too much, he came here just for that tribute duck, and he wasn't interested in Zhong Xiuyuan's identity.

"I don't know about Boss Li's duck, what do you think?" Boss Wang looked at Li Mu nervously. When he got the news, it was already after Li Mu sold three ducks.

After that, he immediately put down what he was doing and rushed over, not knowing if someone else got there first.

"I have to think about the matter of the tribute duck first," Li Mu said.

He had brought five ducks here before, originally to sell one of the five slightly larger stores that he planned to cooperate with to see the situation, but now he is not ready to sell in such a hurry.

"Why?" Boss Wang was a little anxious. Could it be that the previous family really bought all the ducks?

"If it's about the price, then it's easy to negotiate, and you can open the price." Boss Wang leaned forward slightly, becoming more anxious and restless.

As long as the tribute duck is on the table, the price will increase several times. The point is that if the store can sell this product, the reputation of the store will naturally increase.

This thing is like a snowball. Once it starts, it must be famous when it stops.After that, as long as the word of mouth is not ruined, the business of this store will naturally be driven.

"To be honest, I don't have many tribute ducks on hand. I have sold some before, and now there are only two left." Li Mu said.

In fact, he doesn't even want to sell these two anymore.

"This..." Boss Wang immediately turned pale when he heard the words, and it really was bought out by the previous one.

"Oh, Boss Li, why are you like this? Why don't you think about me first when there is a good thing?" Then Boss Wang was anxious, "You see, don't I usually entertain your business?"

Although his current restaurant is not too big, but every once in a while, he will buy a lot of ducks from Li Mu, which is not a small sum in a year.

What's going on now, he's only one step too late, and someone else bought the duck.

"Boss Wang, don't worry." Li Mu said calmly, "I still have ducks. This batch is sold out, and the next batch will be available."

Boss Wang was already in a hurry, but now he came to his senses after hearing Li Mu's words.

Ducks are not sold out. Li Mu used to give them a batch of ducks every once in a while. If he sells tribute ducks, wouldn’t he be able to raise a batch of ducks every once in a while?

"Then Boss Li, I've decided on the duck. I'll take as many as you have." Boss Wang hurriedly said.

Li Mu raised his hand and shook it, but did not answer his words.

"Boss Li, we are all in business, you..."

Seeing that Boss Wang was really getting anxious, Li Mu said vaguely: "I can't say anything about the ducks, they are not easy to raise, and I'm not sure how many will be in the next batch, so the specific situation is yet to come." I’ll be more specific when I get it.”

"But..." Boss Wang wanted to say something else, but before he could say it, Li Mu said again.

"Of course, don't worry, with Boss Wang's care for me in the past, I will definitely let you know next time when there is a stock." Li Mu said.

But whether he can buy it or not is a matter for the next time.

After hearing Li Mu's assurance, the anxious look on Boss Wang's face finally eased down a bit.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and finally said hurriedly: "Then Boss Li, you have to give me all the two ducks you have left now."

Boss Wang's personality is a little anxious, and he speaks straightforwardly, but now he is thinking about his remaining two ducks.

Li Mu is not going to sell it to him now, "This..."

"Why, don't you sell these two?" Boss Wang got anxious again when he heard this.

He was only a moment late, so how could this duck be sold?

"I keep the ducks for some use now, and it's not convenient to sell them. If I'm going to sell them anytime, I'll go over and tell Boss Wang." Li Mu said.

"But didn't you sell everything before?" Boss Wang was still a little confused, he rushed here, but returned empty-handed.

"I can't say anything about this right now. I can only promise you, Boss Wang, that I will let you know before the next batch of ducks are sold." Li Mu's tone became a little more serious, and his voice was a little hoarse and also a little bit forceful. point.

Seeing Li Mu like this, that person knew that Li Mu was really not going to sell. Although he was a little disappointed, he still got up.

When he got to the door, he repeatedly asked Li Mu to promise that he would be notified next time before he reluctantly left.

Zhong Xiuyuan sent the man downstairs for Li Mu, and when he was about to go back, he was stopped again.

Zhong Xiuyuan looked back when he heard the sound, and saw that it was the people from Master Qin who stopped him.

Master Qin's house is on Anfu's side, not too far from their inn. When they first came here, Master Qin wanted to let them live in the Qin Mansion, but Li Mu refused.

If you only come here once in a while, it doesn't matter if you live in the Qin Mansion.But they often run on both sides. If they live in the Qin Mansion every time they come, it will inevitably be a bit inappropriate after a long time, so every time Li Mu lives in the inn by himself.

"Mr. Li, Master Qin has something to look for." After the servant came to Zhong Xiuyuan's side, he said to Zhong Xiuyuan.

This person looked familiar, he should be someone who works beside Master Qin, Zhong Xiuyuan withdrew his gaze and asked, "Did you say what it is?"

"But Mr. Li, what happened to your previous batch of goods." The servant said.

Hearing that it was about the previous batch of duck eggs, Zhong Xiuyuan immediately went upstairs and told Li Mu, and then the two of them followed the servant towards the Qin residence.

When the two arrived at the Qin Mansion, the sky had gradually darkened.

When entering through the gate of the Qin Mansion, the servants of the Qin Mansion were lighting lanterns at the gate.

The dim reddish light illuminated the entire gate of the Qin Mansion, bringing a warm atmosphere.

After entering the door and finding Master Qin, the servants went down, leaving only Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan to enter the study.

"Come so soon?" Master Qin in the study put down the pen in his hand.

He picked up a bag from the side and handed it to Li Mu. Li Mu picked it up and looked at the bag. It contained money.

The amount was not particularly large, but Master Qin suddenly gave him money, which made Li Mu a little puzzled.

"This is the duck's money you had before." Master Qin said.

"Duck eggs?"

"It's all sold." Master Qin got up and went outside the study, ordered the people outside to prepare dinner, and then went back to the study and said to Li Muzhong Xiuyuan: "At the price you said before, one person will buy it all. gone."

Hearing Master Qin's words, Li Mu frowned slightly.

He knew that Master Qin had a very wide network of contacts, but at this time, he still owed Master Qin a big favor by buying all these duck eggs that were obviously not easy to deal with.

"What are you thinking about?" Master Qin guessed what Li Mu was thinking when he saw Li Mu frowned, "I didn't ask him to buy duck eggs for that person, he asked him to buy them himself."

After a pause, Master Qin added, "I guess it's aimed at you. After buying the duck eggs, I asked me to bring you a message saying that I want to treat you to dinner tomorrow."

Li Mu was dumbfounded, since when will someone want to invite him to dinner in Anfu?And it took so much trouble.

Li Mu was still puzzled, but Zhong Xiuyuan who was at the side had already guessed the general reason, "I guess it's because of the tribute duck again."

When Zhong Xiuyuan said this, Li Mu quickly turned to look at Master Qin, "I don't know who that person is?"

"It's the owner of the restaurant I invited you to eat before. When did you meet?" Master Qin also felt a little strange.

Anfu is a big city, and there are many big people here, even he is just an ordinary person here, much more powerful than him.

When going out of the small place, he can still take a sedan chair to swagger through the city. Here, he has to bow and bow to many people when he goes out, because he is afraid that he will offend someone who can't afford it at any time.

Master Qin didn't know who the owner of the restaurant was, he only knew that the restaurant was in Anfu, and it was one of the best restaurants in a good place.

He had also heard some rumors about the owner of the restaurant. Some said that it was the private business of the top three dignitaries in the palace, and some said that it was opened by a mysterious figure in the world
