This is so beautiful, I'm covered

The Great Wei had a mature domestic freight channel as early as more than ten years ago. In recent years, commercial trade with foreign countries has become more and more prosperous. In addition to the maritime trade route in the southeast, the trade route in the northwest is also bustling and accessible.

The trade route leads northward to Suribang, a major raw material country, and the ores transported are all rare and high-grade, which are of great help to the refinement of firearms technology.A number of merchants who excavate and import high-quality ore were born in the country, and the Pu family is the leader among them.

When discussing cooperation matters this time, the Kou family received Kou Yi and Pei Yuli, so it is reasonable for the Pu family to have the head of the Pu family, Pu Tong, come forward in person.

As a result, Boss Kou and Young Master Pei waited for a whole stick of incense in the box of Huiyan Tower, but it was not Pu Tong who came, but his son Pu Quexin and his niece Pu Ying.

Wearing gold and silver, Pu Quexin swaggered into the box, and at the first sight he saw two people sitting upright... not really sitting upright... sitting facing the door.

There is a big round table in the compartment, the host and guest seats are clearly separated, and the distance between each other is also clear.But these two people were sitting shoulder to shoulder, one of them was still eating a bowl of soup with his head down, and he only raised his head when he saw someone coming in.

Pu Quexin didn't realize that it was impolite for him to be late, but he felt that this merchant surnamed Kou didn't understand etiquette, so it didn't matter if he sat or not, how could he eat before the guests came?

His originally high-spirited face pulled down a little.

He was unhappy, and someone was more unhappy than him.

Kou Yi doesn't seem to be particular about everything, but in fact he is very particular about everything.Punctuality used to be the minimum requirement for his subordinates, and now it will also become the minimum standard for him to consider business partners.

And this surnamed Pu didn't even meet the minimum standard.

Kou Yi is very, no, happy, happy!I was so upset that I didn't even want to lift my head.

At any rate, Pei Yuli kept in mind his teacher's teachings: the etiquette of meeting for the first time is very important, and the most important thing is to be confident and calm, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

The person next to him has already made people fall into an ice cave. As the temporary second-in-command of the Kou family, he has the responsibility and obligation to adjust the atmosphere and blow the spring breeze first!

Thinking of this, Pei Yuli put on a smiling face, and was about to get up to say hello first, and then explain, "It's rude to eat the soup first, it's really because of my health, I hope you can forgive me" and so on.

Who would have thought that the surnamed Pu snorted softly first, and said, "I'm afraid Boss Kou will serve all the dishes before the guests arrive?"

Pei Yuli was about to stand up and stopped.

It's fine for him to explain himself, but people pick on him when they come up, so he doesn't want to explain.

At this time, Kou Yi said leisurely from the side: "That's exactly what I mean."

Pu Quexin was taken aback.

In Master Pu's perception, his family is a big merchant in Jinyang City, while the Kou family is just a local snake in the southeast region.If he is willing to go south, the other party should bow to him like an ancestor and beg him to cooperate.

This is not right, this is not right!

It's a pity that before Young Master Pu made any reaction, there was already a delicate voice coming from the outside to the inside.

"Where is the cousin?"

"This room!"

Xiao Er graciously led Pu Ying to the door of the box, and the people inside the door saw a young woman dressed in white and snow-white, exquisitely carved, stepping briskly in.

There are two pretty twisted braids on the top of her hair, and she is wrapped behind her back with a January white hair band, blending with her waist-length black hair, and the few thin strands of hair on her forehead are more vibrant.

The clothes are not heavy, on the contrary, they are only two thin layers, and there is a thin moon white shawl on the shoulders.

It is said that the northerners are rough and the southerners are elegant.

Comparing these two, in terms of appearance alone, it can only be said that Kou Yi is not like a southerner, and Pu Ying is not like a northerner.

Pei Yuli subconsciously glanced at Kou Yi, thinking that it is really not easy for this southeast soil and water to raise such a tall man as Kou Yi.

Just as his mind wandered for a moment, he heard Pu Ying ask: "Cousin, why don't you..."

For some reason, the voice paused, and when Pei Yuli turned his head again, he saw the girl's gaze fell on his face, as if she was in a daze, and then finished the rest of the sentence in a daze.

"Why...why don't you sit down?"

"What else do you say?" Pu Quexin's voice sounded very unhappy, "How do you take a seat when no one invites you?"

"Ah..." Pu Ying ran to the side of the round table close to Pei Yuli and sat down, saying, "You still don't know how to sit? Come on."

Pu Quexin: "..." At this moment, the maids started serving dishes with large and small food tables.

Pu Quexin felt depressed, but still sat down according to his position.

But Pu Ying didn't care about her cousin, she just stared at Pei Yuli closely, and asked, "My name is Pu Ying, young master, what's your name?"

Kou Yi slowly raised his head, and his eyes lightly landed on Pu Ying.

Pei Yuli then replied: "Pei, Pei Yun."

Pu Ying said: "A good name, a good name, it's really nice!"

"..." Pei Yuli said, "Thank you, Miss Pu's name is also very..."

"All right, all right!" Pu Quexin interrupted unbearably, "Time is tight, let's talk about business first."

As soon as they took their seats, Kou Yi and Pei Yuli's eyes were on Pu Ying. Pu Quexin seemed redundant, and the dignified young master of the Pu family couldn't bear it.

Pu Ying waved her hand: "What's the matter? Didn't you travel around on the way just now?"

"I..." Pu Quexin couldn't hold back his face, and retorted, "It's not because you said the scenery on the road is beautiful!"

"The scenery on the road is beautiful," Pu Ying said, "Did I say something wrong?"

Well, these two young masters and young ladies were late for a stick of incense, because of the beautiful scenery on the road?

Kou Yi's face turned darker.

However, Miss Pu's family didn't seem to have any intention of talking about serious business, so she grabbed Pei Yuli and continued to ask, "It's not cold today, why are you wearing such thick clothes?"

Pu Ying came from the north, and the further south she went, the hotter she felt. She took off her clothes all the way, and when she entered the southeast land, she was no different from what she was wearing in spring.

Seeing that Pei Yuli still had a fringe of hair around his collar, he felt so hot for him.

Kou Yi has cherished words like gold since the beginning, and he only said a word of respect, which was still used by Young Master Pu, but at this time he answered for Pei Yuli: "Southerners are no more afraid of the cold than northerners."

Pu Ying didn't care about Kou Yi's bitter and bitter face, and asked herself: "Then why aren't you afraid?"

After asking, she didn't listen to anyone's answer, but continued to say to Pei Yuli: "Who is the young master from the Kou family?"

Pei Yuli couldn't help laughing at Kou Yi's embarrassment, and wanted to tease Kou Yi, so he said, "I'm just accompanying Boss Kou to entertain the two of you, it's not an important person."

Kou Yi: "..."

Pu Yingxi said: "I'm not an important person, so let them talk about it after lunch. I'm not familiar with the place, can you take me for a walk around the southeast border?"

Pu Quexin blushed and had a thick neck: "I told you to come here to learn business, to make friends? Nonsense!"

Pu Ying glanced at her cousin and said, "No, Uncle asked you to do business, and I'm here to play."

...How righteous and confident, it makes people speechless.

"It's okay," Pei Yuli glanced at Kou Yi, then turned back to Pu Ying and said, "Your guest is here, and I should do my best as a landlord. Where Miss Pu wants to go, just tell me."

The dishes prepared for this lunch are all rare delicacies, and there is a table full of them, full of beautiful things in eyes.

It is etiquette not to discuss business at the dinner table, but to talk about business after the guests have enjoyed themselves.

But Kou Yi and Pu Quexin didn't care about this, the two of them somehow tacitly agreed, and they both wanted to hurry up and end the conversation, and take their family away as soon as possible.

then,

Pu Quexin: "My family used to cooperate with the Zhou family, and it was always Zhou's first head or the second head who talked with my father. This year it's Boss Kou, so we have to see Boss Kou's sincerity in cooperation."

Kou Yi knew that talking about business would inevitably involve talking about the two people from the Zhou family in the past, and he was already mentally prepared.But at this moment, he was a little upset, so he said directly: "If you want to talk about business with the two of the Zhou family, let your father do the talking, and if you talk about it with me, let the young master do it? If you want me to show sincerity, you must show sincerity first. "

Pu Quexin was obviously displeased and said: "My young master is the eldest son of the family, with a noble status, it is not easy to come here, do you look down on me?"

Kou Yi was expressionless, and said: "Coincidentally, my young master is also the son of the family, and the head of the family, shouldn't the head talk to the head?"

As soon as the two opened their mouths, neither of them spared the other, and they were obviously full of resentment.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Pei Yuli quickly poked Kou Yi's leg to remind him not to be too aggressive.

Kou Yi thought in his heart that this is not considered fierce, if he really became fierce, he could send that grandson back to Jinyang City.

But having said that, after all, this was still a peaceful and friendly dinner, so Kou Yi calmed down and tried not to be so aggressive.Unexpectedly, at this time, Pu Ying pointed to a dish on the other side of the table and asked Pei Yuli: "What is that?"

Pei Yuli looked at it and replied, "Shrimp and eel noodles."

Pu Ying said: "Interesting, what's the taste?"

"Since my son is here today, he must have brought good things..." Pu Quexin was still talking, but suddenly changed the subject, and said, "I want to know what flavors you can't taste yourself?"

After finishing speaking, he continued, "Blue bird stone, in the past, the pricing for the Zhou family was calculated by catty, 100 taels per catty, is it feasible?"

Pu Ying said: "I can't reach it, Mr. Pei, can you do me a favor and give me some to taste?"

Pei Yuli took the serving chopsticks, and was just about to get up to pick them up, when Kou Yi reached out and brought the eel noodles over, and placed them in front of Pu Ying's face.

Pei Yuli paused, pursed his mouth, and almost laughed.

Kou Yi moved away from Pei Yuli with a stern face. The two were shoulder to shoulder, but now there was a fist's distance between them.

"Blue tits were indeed rare in the past, but with the development of mining technology and the increase of imported ores, there have been more substitutes, and now they are not worth the price." Kou Yi continued to talk to Pu Quexin without changing his face.

Pu Ying took a sip of the noodles and said in a low voice, "It's delicious, Mr. Pei, you should try it too."

Pu Quexin immediately answered, "It's delicious, so what are you talking about so quietly?"

Pu Ying rolled her eyes at him: "I'm afraid it's alright to interrupt your business discussion? You talk so much."

When Pei Yuli saw the eel noodles, he thought of something else, lost his mind for a while, and couldn't help but smile.

Shrimp fried eel noodles, tonify qi and blood, tonify deficiency and nourish the body, strengthen...strong waist...kidney.Before, Dou Xueyi solemnly recommended this dish to him with a trembling smiling face, but he had never tasted it.

"You look so pretty when you smile." Pu Ying praised without hesitation.

"...cough...cough cough cough..." Pu Quexin coughed again and again as he choked on his own saliva.

Kou Yi looked worried, and moved to the side of Pu, who was already two fists away from Pei Yuli.

The meal was carried out in the dialogue of "Blue Sparrow Kunsong Feiyunsha", "This dish is delicious", "100 taels, 200 taels, 1000 taels", "That dish is delicious", "Land and sea transportation by horses and boats", "Mr. Pei, try it" .

After about a stick of incense, Pu Ying had just finished talking about important business matters, but Pu Ying was full, so she put down her chopsticks and said, "Young Master Pei, eat slowly."

Pei Yuli also put down his chopsticks, and said, "I'm done eating."

At this time, Kou Yi, who was half an arm's length away from Pei Yuli, and Pu Quexin, who had a sip of tea while his mouth was parched, stopped at the same time.

Pu Ying smiled and said: "That's just right, young master leads the way, let's go out to play."

Pei Yuli smiled brighter than today's sunshine, and replied, "Okay."

Kou Yi: "..."

Pu Quexin: "What are you playing? After signing the deed, we will head back home!"

Pu Ying was not under Pu Quexin's discipline at all, she picked up her little moon-white cloak and rolled her eyes at her cousin frequently.

what back?Do you have any eyesight?

Kou Yi glanced at the girl from the corner of his eye, and asked the same question in his heart: Do you have any good eyesight?

The author has something to say: daughter-in-law control vs sister control

Because it's a side story, let's not take business discussions too seriously, just be happy~~

Then, it's not that Master Kou is not handsome, but because he has always had a dark face, little girl, I like kind people.
