Du Qingchen casually rummaged through the contents of the box. Apart from some specialty products, there were also some novelty fabrics. At a glance, he could tell that they were popular styles in the capital. Although there were many items, the prices might not be expensive. It was just a matter of chance.Du Qingchen closed the box and was silent for a moment before asking his family to move the things back into the house.

"Brother, can this thing be collected?" Du Rulin asked, "There won't be any trouble, right?"

"It's okay, it's just a little thing." Whether it is in Wei Hu's eyes or in his eyes, this thing is nothing. Now that Du Qingchen has a lot of money, besides Han Jun, he has also opened in other provincial cities. After entering the restaurant, of course, the cooks he recruited in the restaurant may be much better than his cooking skills, and he only needs to provide the recipes. The reason why Du's restaurant can expand greatly depends on Also these recipes.

Regardless of how Du Qingchen expanded the commercial territory of the restaurant, Du Qingchen was full of Wei Hu's plans at the moment.

"Brother, do you want my help?" Du Rulin asked.

Du Qingchen's expression moved slightly. He had been teaching Du Rulin all along, but he had never let him experience anything. Now, you can also ask his opinion, firstly to practice, and secondly to see if he has any good ideas.

Du Qingchen nodded, went to Du Rulin's room, and told him the matter. Du Rulin frowned and thought hard, "Brother, although it's not very good to say that, why do you have to cooperate with the Tao family? Can't the Wei family do it?"

Du Qingchen's expression moved slightly, "Tell me and listen."

"I know that my brother and Boss Su have a good relationship and love each other as brothers, but in my opinion, this is an opportunity. Although it is a good thing to cooperate with the Su family and be protected by the Tao family, it is also another kind of suppression. Brother, are you willing to entrust all your wealth and future to the Tao family? Didn’t you always say that eggs should not be put in the same basket, and should be separated to be safe?”

"But if the Tao family has any objections, I'm afraid they won't protect the vermicelli recipe and make sure it won't leak out." Du Qingchen said.

"So, this is an opportunity. It can divide the Bo Tao family's influence on the vermicelli business, but also make the Tao family unable to say anything. I think this is not a difficulty, but an opportunity."

"Do you think I should do business with Wei Hu? Open a new road?" Du Qingchen said.

"Yes!" Du Rulin nodded heavily, and for a moment, he felt a little embarrassed again, with a dazed look on his face, and said, "Brother, I'm just talking casually! I'm not involved in your affairs, I know you and Boss Su, and Second Young Master Tao has a good relationship, you are good friends, it's not good to do this, I...you just pretend I didn't say anything."

Du Rulin was suddenly a little worried that if he talked too much, his brother would think he was a cold and heartless person.He is not!He remembered that his elder brother said that he should be as ruthless to his enemies as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves, and as warm as spring to his friends. He would only do this to his enemies, not his own family and friends.

Du Qingchen thought so too, if he wasn't so close to Su Junxia and Tao Xiude, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.

"Let's wait and see what the doorman of the Tao family has to say!" Su Junxia went back and asked the doorman what he meant, and then he continued to think about what to do.

Du Rulin nodded silently. All they can do now is wait.

The news didn't keep Du Qingchen waiting for too long. Su Junxia soon received the news that Wei Hu had sent gifts in large and small boxes to the Du family.

Su Junxia discussed with the Tao family guest behind closed doors for more than an hour, Tao door guest went to Tao Mansion again, and then returned to deliver the letter to Su Junxia, ​​and Su Junxia went to Du's house immediately.

Du Qingchen was teasing with his son in his arms, cheerful as if nothing had happened. As soon as Su Junxia entered the room and saw Du Qingchen was so at ease, he sighed, "You are so leisurely, I have a headache to death outside."

Su Junxia and Su Dong are also very familiar, Su Dong doesn't care that he is in confinement, and Su Junxia came in with a casual attitude, and even poured tea for himself, as if it was his own home, Du Qingchen walked over with Maodan in his arms, "I see my son! It's a big deal, is it important to have a son? Is it a baby? Huh?" Du Qingchen shook his hairy egg with a smile.

"What's the matter? What did he say?" Du Qingchen asked immediately after teasing his son.

Seeing that Du Qingchen was still in a hurry, Su Junxia snorted, and said: "Tao Taishou said that military rations are a big deal, and the imperial court entrusts the matter of raising military rations to the Wei family, so only the Wei family can intervene. No one else can do this job." .”

Du Qingchen nodded slightly, with no expression of joy or anger, "So, I want to promise Wei Hu and only do this business with Wei Hu?"

"I'm really not reconciled!" Su Junxia clenched his fist fiercely and shook it.He also wants to be an imperial merchant!Businessmen all over the world regard the emperor as their esteem, even Tao Taishou, after hearing such news, he is unwilling to fight against him, and would rather stay away. He also wants to be such a person.

Du Qingchen said: "What about you? Will you be angry?"

"Me?" Su Junxia pointed at himself, thought for a while and said, "That must be angry! I am the Qiwei family who bullies us, and Tao Taishou still refuses to stand up for us."

As Du Rulin said, doing business with the Wei family, as long as the Tao family is willing to let go, will only benefit Du Qingchen, except for the brotherhood.

A tinge of guilt gradually emerged in Du Qingchen's heart, and he said, "I'm fine, although I was bullied, but for me, there are only advantages and no disadvantages, but it's not good for you."

"Don't think so much..." Su Junxia waved his hand, "Brother, it's clear! I know it has nothing to do with you."

"It's fine if you don't get angry." Du Qingchen nodded.

"Then I have taken so much advantage of you! From the town to the present, I can't count how much I have benefited from you, and I have never seen you angry with me! You just think too much, so You'll think I'm angry." Su Junxia waved his hand very grandly.

Du Qingchen laughed, and secretly let go of this concern.

"But speaking of it, I remembered something when I was teasing my son. Do you remember the batch of food we sent over for disaster relief?" Du Qingchen said.

"remember!"

"I remember that I once heard the second son Tao say that the prefect bought that batch of grain from other merchants at a high price, and the Tao family almost ran out of their wealth because of this, but... at that time, disaster relief food was of great importance, even It is related to the victory or defeat of the battle between the two princes in the court. At such a critical moment, who would dare to sell such a large amount of grain to the Tao family? How could it still be transported in?! I vaguely heard that these grains were transported by the merchants themselves Yes, they were not robbed, such a powerful merchant must be one of the three imperial merchants! Maybe it is the Wei family."

Su Junxia got up slightly when he heard the words, with a look of yearning, "If you have such strength, it is really enviable."

Du Qingchen nodded, "I've thought about it, among the three royal merchants, the Qi family belongs to the third prince, so it's impossible to help Tao Taishou. The Yuan family is said to be neutral and only loyal to the royal family. After all, his daughter is a concubine in the palace. , only the Wei family, maybe the fifth prince, ordered the Wei family to adjust the grain and sell it to the Tao family, which saved the situation, and people couldn't find the clues and traces."

Su Junxia nodded again and again, "It's true that his family is the only one. In that case, his family's ability to transport goods is indeed extremely strong."

"The Wei family is attached to Marshal Qi Cheng. I'm afraid it's not the first time to raise military rations. The Wei family has done such an important job many times without making any mistakes. Only in this way can they maintain their current status. His family is in operation. In terms of goods, I’m afraid it’s really not bad.”

Su Junxia thought for a while, and felt that what Du Qingchen said was reasonable, and Tao Taishou probably also knew that the Wei family was the one who transported food for them. After all, Tao Taishou bought the food!With this kind of affection, whether it is because more things are worse than less things, or because of the kindness of delivering relief food, Tao Taishou will not intervene in this matter just to earn a small amount of money, making it difficult for the Wei family.

As for the Wei family, with such confidence, they really wouldn't give him a piece of the pie.Su Junxia was slightly disappointed, but soon cheered up, "I can do it in the future!"

"I believe in you. You work hard. You never know when the fifth prince will ascend the throne, Tao Taishou will be transferred to the capital, and you will follow suit. Being an imperial merchant will not be a problem." Du Qingchen hugged his son and chuckled.

"Shhh! How dare you talk nonsense about such things! The nine clans!" Su Junxia was so frightened that he even wanted to cover Du Qingchen's mouth with his hands. He is a standard ancient man. Now that he has seen the world again, he doesn't know how powerful these words are. If word of this spread out, it would be fatal!

Du Qingchen smiled, "I'm not afraid at home, and I believe what I said is right."

The same is true of the plot in the book. After many struggles, the fifth prince finally found out that the old emperor did not intend to pass on the throne to him or the third prince, but preferred his younger son who was less than nine years old. The soldiers in Qi Cheng's hands forced the palace to rebel and became emperor.

This is also the reason why he has always been willing to be with Shao Qing, Tao Xiude and others. If Shao Qing and others are attached to the third prince or others, he will leave his hometown and start from scratch in other provincial capitals, and he will not dare Mix with them!He didn't intend to challenge the high difficulty to fight against the plot, so he just followed the trend.

After Su Junxia left, but the next day, Wei Hu came to visit with a greeting card, which seemed to have pinpointed the time for Su Junxia to deliver the message, and left time for him to think and make a decision.

In the living room, Su's father, Su's mother, and Du's father hid in their own rooms, but it was Du Rulin who followed Du Qingchen to receive the guests.

After greeting each other a few words and chatting a few gossips, Wei Hu got down to business, "How does Boss Du think about the business you mentioned earlier?"

Du Qingchen said: "I've almost thought about it, but I have a small doubt that has nothing to do with this matter. I don't know if I can ask? If there is any offense..."

"Boss Du has something to say! We hit it off right away and we are friends. Is there anything we can't say between friends?" Wei Hu chuckled.

Du Qingchen nodded and rolled his eyes secretly, "Actually, it's not a big problem. It's just that Han County was hit by a disaster before. I heard that Tao Taishou bought a batch of grain in order to save the people affected by the disaster. Which merchant has such strength and such a chivalrous and benevolent heart to help my father and fellow villagers, and seeing Mr. Wei today, I always feel that the matter of disaster relief has something to do with Mr. Wei, I wonder if it is an illusion?"

Wei Hu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Du Qingchen to bring up something that happened so long ago, but there is nothing wrong with it, this matter may be a secret to the next, but it is impossible to hide from anyone, Du Qingchen doesn't know the reason, But Tao Taishou knew very well, Wei Hu said with a smile: "I guess I personally escorted here! It's a pity that the stay was short and I didn't get to know Boss Du, what a pity!"

"So it's really Mr. Wei!" Du Qingchen stood up gratefully.

No wonder Taishou Tao directly gave up the benefits of vermicelli without any struggle, no wonder Wei Hu was so domineering, he didn't even give Su Junxia any leeway, he understood everything!From the beginning of disaster relief to the present, one line, all connected in series!Clearly!

Wei Hu also stood up, put on a puzzled face, and watched Du Qingchen's actions.

"Du Qingchen, on behalf of the people of Han County, thank Brother Wei for saving his life." Du Qingchen bowed and bowed, and Du Rulin quickly got up to follow.

"I'm so disgusted, please hurry up, I'm just a concubine of the Wei family, a merchant, how can I afford such a word of thanks!" Wei Hu looked sincere and terrified.

"Brother Wei!" Du Qingchen grasped Wei Hu's wrist and said, "I've done this business with you! Brother Wei is so benevolent and righteous, and has great kindness to my hometown. If I continue to push back, am I still human? Me! Wei! Brother, don't worry, I will keep the price to the lowest for this business, and I will guarantee that Brother Wei can make a profit! This is also a little bit of my heart, please don't hold it against Brother Wei."

"You're welcome, Boss Du, business has nothing to do with those things, you can pay as much as you want, you push me down, this is business!"

"No!" Du Qingchen waved his hand, "I will never raise the price! Brother Wei will look down on me if he doesn't accept it. Although I have no skills, I can't repay you much, but this is a little bit of my heart." Du Qingchen opened his mouth to quote a price, It even proposed a discount that the more you buy, the more discounts you get. For example, you can get [-]% off for [-] catties of vermicelli, and [-]% off for more than [-] catties. Such a discount is very sincere.

Wei Hu was silently stunned for a moment, he came from a business family anyway, and it's not been a day or two since he managed the family business. Du Qingchen made the quotation here, and he automatically calculated it in his mind. What Du Qingchen said was of course enthusiastic and sincere , but after calculating the price, it seems that it is not much cheaper!It's not even close to the price in his mind.

Wei Hu still wanted to lower the price, but Du Qingchen said, "Brother Wei is the only one, otherwise, I would never propose such a low price!" Du Qingchen's face was pained. "That's the only way to be worthy of Brother Wei's great kindness!"

Wei Hu opened his mouth just now, but closed it silently again. Du Qingchen's airs were too high, and he couldn't get down.
