The Shiwai Pavilion has not changed much. On the stone table under the green shelf, there is a set of celadon teacups, and the mottled sunlight falls from the gap.The original lush green shade has turned into a golden yellow. A persimmon tree was planted in the corner of the house, and many small orange-yellow persimmons have grown. They are like small lanterns hanging on the branches. They are small and cute.

When the servants at home saw him, they were all pleasantly surprised. For a moment, they were so excited that they didn't know what to say. Sunan smiled lightly, and talked to them for a while, asking them to prepare some good wine and food for a little celebration in the evening.The servant got Sunan's order, nodded quickly, and started to prepare anxiously.

The courtyard was full of familiar scenery. Seeing all this, Sunan's heart softened, his face softened, he shook his head, smiled and walked into the study with Guanshi Zhao.

The layout of the study is the same as before. The messy books on the table were thrown away by Sunan. The room is very tidy and there is not much dust to be found.Although the teacup was clean, there was no hot water in it.He called the servant and asked him to add some tea to moisten his mouth.

There was hot water, and when Sunan poured himself a cup, he also poured a cup for Guanshi Zhao.The latter made some excuses, and just said: "You can't do it, my boss." But under Sunan's persuasion, he drank the water anyway.

After chatting, the two began to talk about business.Manager Zhao had a stack of ledgers beside him, and he took one, cleared his throat, and explained clearly the store's operating conditions during this period of time.

Sunan listened carefully. It turned out that there was not much difference from what Lin Jun said.After Sunan's illness, Linglongxuan began to slowly imitate the products in the store. They are all in this business. Needless to say, they are exactly the same, but there are still seven or eight points.

But pirated goods are pirated goods after all, and the reason why Shiwai Pavilion has developed and grown in less than a year is because of Sunan's new ideas.Although Linglongxuan was able to snatch away some customers who didn't know why, some old customers knew the difference inside after using their products.

If it's just dealing with each other like this, it's nothing.At this time, Guanshi Zhao had not been in Shiwai Pavilion for a long time. Once, by accident, he found several masters in the workshop and the shopkeeper Jia of Linglongxuan in a restaurant. They were sitting together, talking and laughing.

Zhao Guanshi secretly raised an alarm bell in his heart, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and sure enough, within two days, some people came to Zhao Guanshi to resign.Among them was a master with superb craftsmanship who was determined to leave. According to the contract, he paid nearly 400 taels of liquidated damages, but he had decided to go without any consideration.

There were a total of five people who left. They formed a group and were aggressive. They seemed to be sure that Sunan would not be there. Manager Zhao was a newcomer and an old man, so there was nothing he could do about them.Not to mention, several people had already prepared, and according to the contract, they would give up all the breaches.

It's not that Sunan didn't think about this aspect. In order to keep it secret, several important masters did their own work separately. In the end, several people cooperated with each other. The work was staggered, and almost seven or eight people were involved.The purpose is to prevent someone from mastering the complete secret recipe.

Holding his forehead and sighing, he only knew what had happened after listening to Guanshi Zhao.

Sunan indeed separated several people, and the master who poached away was surnamed Li. Because of his superb craftsmanship, he was in charge of preparing Bai Yufang.After processing the ground powder, and then cooperating with another master Yang, two people can complete a copy.

It may be that Linglongxuan spent a lot of money, which made Master Li tempted. He already knew half of the secret recipe, so he pretended to drink with Master Yang, and while the other party was drunk, he tricked out the other half of the secret recipe.As for the raw material composition, although it is somewhat complicated, it is not a problem for him.It took a long time to get Bai Yufang's secret recipe.

Sunan was helpless, but not too angry.Fish is already fishy, ​​so don't blame other cats for thinking about it.As long as he wants to dig, he can always dig.Before he recruits people, he can't check everyone's character thoroughly.

After asking in detail, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Master Li only took away Bai Yufang's secret recipe, otherwise, he would really vomit blood.Manager Zhao didn't know that Master Li had taken away the secret recipe at first, and when he started dismissing him, he followed the requirements in the contract, and if he paid liquidated damages, there was nothing he could do about it.

Until later, Guanshi Zhao got the news from nowhere and was furious. At this time, Bai Yufang in Linglongxuan was also sold, but the name was changed to "Jade Fan".Except for the packaging box, even the taste is exactly the same.

When Manager Zhao heard about it at the time, he almost broke out in a cold sweat. He just came to Shiwai Pavilion, and this kind of thing happened. Doesn't it seem that he is too incompetent?

Fortunately, I told Wei Guogong Xia Xiuxin, and Wei Guogong turned blue and was a little annoyed when he heard about it.Immediately, they strictly investigated the people in the remaining workshops and factories, and reported to Wei Guogong that there was no major problem. .

After pondering for a moment, Sunan said, "In this case, first, follow what I said before, and give the masters in the workshop more wages." Manager Zhao quickly agreed, and the extra money at this time is undoubtedly for the people who stayed behind. A bowl of soothing soup, give a sweet date to eat.

After all, after the last incident, everyone was a little restless.

"By the way, I remember, I had someone collect and dry pig pancreas before, is there any more?" Sunan was always thinking about his pancreas, and asked with concern.

"My boss, don't worry, the soap has been packed and stored in nearly two rooms, and someone will take care of it every day." Zhao Guanshi said.Although he didn't know why Sunan accepted these things, but since someone asked them to do it, they did as they were told.

Sunan also asked Guanshi Zhao how much money was left on the books of Shiwaige.To Sunan's surprise, just these few months of collecting money and selling things, plus the previous sales of cosmetics, the profit on the book is 4000 taels.

His eyes lit up, three to four thousand taels of silver, this lump of fat, anyone wants to take a bite.Now, he felt that he was one step closer to Lin Jun's debt, and just wiped out a fraction.

While talking, the sound of "tapping" came from outside, getting louder and louder, and the sound was somewhat familiar.Sunan was stunned, when he heard the door of the study room make a loud "knock", it was suddenly pushed open, and a familiar figure flashed in front of him.

When Songzhu saw Sunan, his eyes turned red suddenly, tears came as soon as he said it, and he ran towards Sunan excitedly and hugged him.Then he started howling and crying: "Sir! You can be counted back." While crying and sniffing, a tenderness flashed in Sunan's heart, and he began to pat him on the back to comfort him.

Sunan smiled gently, and said softly to Shochiku, "Okay, okay, am I here?" Looking up at him, his obsidian-like pupils became brighter after washing with tears.The serious and tense atmosphere was disrupted, and he knew it was not a good time to speak, so he said to Guanshi Zhao: "You should follow what I said first, and we will discuss the specific matters later."

"By the way, I've already asked my buddy to prepare the evening banquet." Sunan said with a smile, "We'll talk about it later." The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and Sunan lowered his eyes to hide his sneer.

It's not urgent yet, but there is always a way.

The news of Sunan's recovery did not spread widely, and he went to find Su Yang specifically. If his master is free, he might as well come over and have dinner together.

At night, the setting sun faded away its dazzling light, and the sky and the earth were gray. Most of the shops and homes in the capital were lit with oil lamps. Looking from the sky, the lights were undulating and shining brightly.Although the sky is dark and the lights are shrouded, everything in this city has just begun.

In the hall, there is a round mahogany table in the south, which is covered with porcelain plates.He glanced at it casually and ignored it.

The wine is good wine, dozens of taels in a large jar, I don't know if it is enough for the few of them to drink.

Sunan was sitting at the eighth seat, stood up, held a bowl of wine, and said the opening words with a smile on his face.

"Everyone, Sunan has been sick for the past few days, which has caused trouble for everyone." He drank a bowl of wine with his head up, and the taste was mellow, but the throat was a little sore from the slightly spicy drink.Looking at the few people present sincerely, he bowed to everyone seriously and attentively.

The author has something to say: the portion is a bit small, sorry, it's a bit late tonight, tomorrow Saturday, let's make up together.
