Recently, the business of a teahouse named Lvchenxuan in Nanshi suddenly boomed. Not only customers wearing silk and satin often come in and out, but even the stewards of major families sometimes come to it. curious.

If there is anything special about this Lvchenxuan, it is nothing more than its quieter and more elegant decoration, a beautiful female shopkeeper, and a slightly unique way of drinking tea.

The tea drinking method promoted by this store is not to add a variety of ingredients to the raw soup, but to simply boil or brew the tea. The price of a pot of tea is not cheap.

This way of drinking tea is not a popular type nowadays, and it is very expensive, so the neighbors speculate that this shop will not last long.

In fact, in the first half year of the opening of Lvchenxuan, the business was indeed not good. Except for some scribes who were in a hurry to sit there occasionally, even businessmen would not choose this kind of place for business talks.

Neighboring shopkeepers and fellows often wonder how the shop is staying open.

And every time we talk about this matter, everyone's focus will inevitably be on the rare female shopkeeper of the teahouse.

"According to what the shopkeeper Tong himself said, her husband is a businessman from the Western Regions and has been away all year round. In this shop, his husband was worried that she would be too lonely at home, so he let her drive it to relieve boredom."

"I've also heard that her husband would bring some rare treasures from the Western Regions every time he came back. The money he made from doing business would be enough for them to live for a few years."

"That's right, this shop has been open for more than half a year, but I have never seen Mrs. Tong's husband come back. Occasionally, some luxuriously dressed people will come in and out of this tea house. You think that woman is the private prostitute of an official. Bar……"

"That's the case, why would a man let his wife open the door to do business alone, I see, most likely he is not a serious tea seller..."

Rumors spread all over Nanshi, but it didn't affect the continued operation of Lvchenxuan, and the female shopkeeper continued to do her own business indifferently, not caring about other people's eyes.

It would be boring to talk about the same topic too much, and in addition to the constant changes in the court this year, it didn't take long for everyone to forget about the gossip about the female shopkeeper of the teahouse. Then there was a wave, and they were all dignitaries, so it was really hard not to attract the attention of the surrounding shops.

"Who would have thought that shopkeeper Tong really has a husband who is a businessman, and his husband came back this time and brought a lot of good things. They can make a fortune this time..."

·

In the backyard warehouse of Luchenxuan, two players, a man and a woman, are discussing today's sales plan with the boxes of goods in front of them.

"How do you say, how many are you selling today?" A male player named Zhou Botong asked.

"Sell one set, that's all." The female gamer, whose alias is Shopkeeper Tong, but whose real name is Bai Feixue, lightly kicked the gift box with a set of glass vases beside her.

"What about the price?"

"The guarantee is 12 yuan for one piece, [-] yuan for two pieces, and the whole set is sold for [-] yuan. If you get caught taking advantage of it, you can increase the price."

Zhou Botong took a deep breath, knelt down and picked up a crane's head bottle from the box to have a look.

Although the workmanship of this glass bottle is good, the shape is also very beautiful. It is estimated that it will be very artistic to insert some fine bamboo and plum blossoms.

But no matter how artistic it is, this is just a fragile, ordinary, low-cost glass bottle!

"Will it be too bad?" He raised his head and said, "When the glass comes into public view, your store will probably be smashed by those people!"

"It's okay." Bai Feixue folded her hands and leaned against the pillar, with an indifferent attitude, "I only rented this shop for a year, and it will be open until June this year. Opening a teahouse is really boring. I don't want to do it anymore."

"Isn't your teahouse the place where you collect information? If you can't open it, you won't open it?"

"The business is too bad, and we can't collect any intelligence at all. We still have to try another line of business."

Zhou Botong nodded: "That's fine, I'll sell this set today and prepare to open."

After he finished speaking, he wiped the fingerprints on the bottle with his sleeve, put it back into the gift box, and closed the lid.

Immediately he got up and took out two cans of white sugar packaged in black clay pots from the box next to him, put them into another identical gift box, turned his head and licked his lips and asked, "Is it still the old plan?"

Bai Feixue met his gaze and smiled meaningfully.

·

As soon as Bai Feixue saw the man in a luxurious silk robe stepping into the store with two attendants, Bai Feixue immediately sent a message to Zhou Botong: [Big business is coming, get ready. 】

After sending the message, Bai Feixue pretended to be normal and went over to ask the guest what kind of tea they wanted.

The visitor was a chubby middle-aged man. While stroking his beard, he scanned the storefront with his slender eyes, and then locked his eyes on Zhou Botong behind the counter, and asked loudly: "Do you have white sugar?" ?”

When Zhou Botong heard this, he hurried over and replied respectfully: "Yes, may I ask where you are?"

"The Yuan family is in charge." The slightly fat man simply replied.

Hearing this, the two players looked at each other, and they both had plans in mind.

Although this Yuan family is not considered a common name in southern China, its head, Yuan Jue, is famously rich and loves to show off his wealth.

Let’s not talk about the most basic things such as good mountains and rivers and manor villas. Yuan Jue’s most famous thing is that he likes to treat guests to dinner. Every few days, he has to hold a big banquet in different mansions. The dishes at the banquet may not be very good Eat, but the ingredients must be delicacies from mountains and seas, the rarer the better, and it must be worthy of its status.

According to rumors from people who have been to his banquet, Yuan Jue’s home is full of rare treasures he collected, jade and precious pearls are scattered everywhere, and Yuan’s servants, whether they are slaves or child servants, wear silk clothes, which are expensive. The spices are filled in every corner of the mansion, even the cowshed and stables are also incensed.

These news are not secrets in Hengchuan, and they can be found out easily. Therefore, when the two players were calculating which wealthy families in Hengchuan could be "robbed", they listed the Yuan family as the first family waiting to be slaughtered. I didn't see the Yuan family sending someone here, but now they finally came.

"I'll take all the goods you have here." Steward Yuan said it was a big business.

However, Zhou Botong frowned when he heard this remark: "Hey, this is a bit embarrassing for me. We have a limited amount of white sugar, so we can only make reservations in advance. Only after you pay the deposit can we rest assured to ask the secret Yang's factory to order, after all, the goods are expensive, and I'm afraid of dropping them in my hands."

Are you afraid of falling into your hands with such a good thing?

Yuan Yu sneered in his heart, knowing that this was just the other party's excuse.

It is estimated that either the owner of this teahouse has no money himself and only has the capital to place an order after taking a deposit, or the other party does not have much sugar at all and just wants to use this to raise the price, or simply cheating!

Even though he was aware of this in his heart, Yuan Yu had no other choice. Since the white sugar was first brought to Hengchuan by Xie's caravan for sale in December last year, it can be said that it has been snapped up by the gentry.

It's just that the quantity of this item is very small, and because it was shipped by the Xie family's caravan, most of the white sugar was digested internally by several big families.

Afterwards, some caravans from Xunzhou occasionally brought white sugar, and they were usually sold out as soon as they came out. He also traveled several times to buy a few cans of white sugar, and the price was extremely high.

It was two days ago that I heard that there was white sugar for sale in Luchenxuan, but I didn't come here on the same day, because Yuan Yu felt that he had received the news a bit late, and the item should have been sold out, so there was no need to waste time and go there.

As a result, a day later, it was reported that several companies had bought authentic white sugar in Luchenxuan.

When Yuan Jue heard the news, he immediately asked him why he didn't buy sugar, so as not to offend the owner, Yuan Yu rushed to the teahouse early this morning.

Before coming here, Yuan Yu always felt that this matter was a bit strange. It was really unreasonable for a small merchant with no background to sell white sugar, and it had not been sold out for several days.

But at this time, after hearing what the shopkeeper said, he became more and more convinced that this was a scam.

He calmed down and said: "Before ordering, you should let me inspect the goods first, right?"

Yuan Yu had already figured it out, if this person really had white sugar in his hand, he would buy all the goods in his hand, if the other party couldn't get it out, or could only get out a little, it was probably a liar who swindled the deposit.

"Of course, the goods must be inspected first. You wait here for a while, and I'll be right there." Zhou Botong said, and when he turned around, he gave Bai Feixue a look, and then quickly ran to the backyard.

Bai Feixue hurriedly greeted Yuan Yu to take a seat in the shop, and warmly brought tea to the guests.

During the period, Yuan Yu took a look at the well-known female shopkeeper in the market. Although she was a bit pretty, she was far worse than their maids in the Yuan Mansion.

Not long after, Zhou Botong came with a wooden gift box, and carefully placed the box on the tea table in front of Yuan Yu.

Seeing his serious attitude, Yuan Yu thought to himself that it seems that there are indeed some goods here.

When Zhou Botong opened the lid and saw the contents in the box, Yuan Yu's eyes widened.

What is contained there is not a jar of white sugar packaged in clay pots, but three crystal clear glass bottles embedded in silk cloth!

Yuan Yu has never seen such a transparent, thin and color-free glass bottle, which is as natural as a naturally conceived crystal. This is definitely a rare treasure in the glass bottle!

Yuan Yu's mood was surging, and he was about to pick up the glass bottle for a closer look, but the male shopkeeper in front of him hurriedly closed the lid of the box, and said with annoyed and apologetic expression: "Oh, I took the wrong box , this is not white sugar, just wait a moment, I will run again."

"Wait, shopkeeper!" Yuan Yu quickly pressed his wrist that was about to hold the gift box, stared at him and asked, "What's in here?"

"Oh... this is a rare item I brought from the Western Regions. A few pieces of glassware. These glassware are not easy to transport. They will break easily. If you don't fix them, you will lose everything!" Zhou Botong threw himself into the performance, serious Said: "I didn't do this business at first, but this set of glass bottles is really rare. It's rare to see such transparent and colorless ones. I really like it very much. That's why I didn't restrain myself. I spent a lot of money from several Hu Shangna took it over, thinking that even if he didn’t sell it, he would be happy to keep it for himself.”

Yuan Yu's thoughts were all on the glass bottles in the box, and he heard his words in one ear and out in the other, but he only caught one important point, that is, there was no buyer for this set of bottles.

He asked, "Can you open it and have a look with me?"

"This...is fine." Zhou Botong hesitated for a moment, then lifted the lid of the box again, and warned: "You must be careful, this thing is too fragile."

Yuan Yu would pay extra attention without his reminding, if such a beautiful glass bottle was broken, it would be a waste of money, and he would never forgive himself.

He carefully picked up the glass bottle and took a closer look.

This set of three vases are in the shapes of crane head vase, plum vase and Guanyin vase. Without any pattern carving, they appear more pure and elegant. The arcs are also extremely well-proportioned and beautiful. With a clear luster.

"It's so beautiful!" Yuan Yu couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, if he could bring back such a beautiful glass bottle and present it to the Patriarch, he would be greatly rewarded.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yu blushed with excitement. He carefully put the glass bottle back into the box, and said with a smile, "I want to buy your set of glass bottles. How about a price?"

"Ah, you want to buy this..." Zhou Botong frowned, looking very embarrassed.

"It's useless for you to keep this thing. If you sell it for money, it's not easy to run a business outside. After selling this glass bottle, it will be enough for you and your wife to rest for a few years with good food and drink." At this time, Yuan Yu had already thought Well, if the other party refuses to sell, I have to use some means to force the other party to sell.

"This……"

Zhou Botong performed a tangled and hesitant performance, and finally clenched his fists and made up his mind: "Okay, since Manager Yuan wants it, I can only reluctantly give up!"

Yuan Yu was very satisfied with his sense of humor, and said with a smile, "Let's bid."

·

Half an hour later, Zhou Botong sent Guanshi Yuan out of the store, and when he returned to the store, the two players looked at each other and smiled.

In this transaction, they not only sold white sugar, but also finally sold a set of glass bottles at a price of 20, which was [-] higher than the original price.

Counting the deposit behind closed doors, Zhou Botong was a little uneasy, and said, "Yuan likes to show off, we sell so many glass products, and those buyers wouldn't come to our door if they communicate with each other?"

"So what if you come to us, have you ever said that we only have one set of glassware? You haven't said that!" Bai Feixue said confidently, "Besides, every glass product we sell is different. Say we have a whole line of dishes and bottles, what fault can they find, aren't these beautiful glass bottles worth the price?"

"That's what you say, but these rich and powerful officials won't reason with you!"

"If it's a big deal, let's run ahead of time. If we change our identities, the ghosts can catch us." Bai Feixue said bluntly, "It's all like this anyway, before they find out these days, let's quickly sell a few more, the more we sell. , the more we earn, this kind of task is rare, it would be a pity to miss the opportunity to make a fortune."

Zhou Botong: "That's true."

This batch of glassware was a task sent by Wolong Pavilion a few days ago. It is said that each county only arranged one team to sell them.

Regardless of just selling glass, it is not easy to accept this task. First of all, you have to pass the performance skills, and secondly, you must give up your identity at any time. Not worth it.

And for those like the two of them who haven't penetrated into any faction, it is very cost-effective to do this task, and the kickbacks alone are enough for them to earn, which is why the two players are so active in selling glass.

After collecting the deposit, Bai Feixue immediately reported the sales situation to the pavilion owner.

·

Jiangzhou, Xingwu County, and Cucheng.

When Yin Yunying received the news from Bai Feixue, she was planning to go out.

After browsing the news that popped up on the panel, he took out the notebook he carried with him and made a record in the notebook, and then compared the sales of other groups, he couldn't help sighing: "It really is a place where the noble families gather, and there are many people who have been taken advantage of." !"

Putting away his notebook, he picked up his luggage again, opened the map and searched for the location of the local government office.

Choose the nearest route for navigation, and a familiar voice will soon ring in your ears.

"Ready to start, the whole journey is 3.3 kilometers, and it is expected to take 46 minutes..."

Half an hour later, Yin Yunying, who had turned into a bearded rough man because of wearing game props, appeared at the gate of the government office.

He put on a haggard look exhausted from running around, walked up to the soldiers on duty at the gate and asked, "Can General Xing live here?"

The guard frowned and looked at him a few times: "Who are you?"

Yin Yunying raised her chin, and said in a cold and arrogant tone, "Just tell me that Di Wang's brother is asking to see you."
