In less than a quarter of an hour, Cao Yangyun came in with Di Gu and Gu Zongmin, the shopkeepers of Liuguang Pavilion.
Behind Gu Zongmin was Gu Siyuan, who had a novel look on his face. Looking at his excitement, you knew it was him who followed him shamelessly.
Entering the front hall, Cao Yangyun saw that Rong Ming, who was kneeling there, had disappeared.
Thinking about it, no matter how Ran Fang punished them, they were all his own people after all, and they couldn't let others see the joke.
Standing in the middle of the front hall, several people saluted Ran Fang at the same time: "I've seen the commander."
"Well, sit down."
Compared to their enthusiasm, Ran Fang's attitude was much calmer.
Gu Siyuan sat next to Gu Zongmin, his hand unconsciously touching the back of the chair, his eyes shining brightly, he raised his head and looked at Ran Fang and said, "Sir, the chair here is much better than the one in my house."
"I also bought it at Liuguang Pavilion, why is it different?"
Di Gu glanced at Ran Fang to make sure he didn't mean to be angry, and then he carefully replied: "Master Gu, the prices of these chairs are different."
"The chairs in the Commander's Mansion are made of the same kind of wood as the chairs dedicated to His Majesty. The wood in Liuguang Pavilion is slightly softer than this."
"And these chairs have been carefully polished by workers. The ones we sell there have not been polished."
Di Gu was responsible for making these chairs. After getting the drawings from Ran Fang, he knew that a batch was to be given to His Majesty.
In order to ensure that there would be no flaws, he discussed with the craftsmen for a long time and asked Cao Yangyun for his opinion before deciding to polish some wood carefully to make sure there would be no small thorns.
However, the whole process is very time-consuming, so although the workmanship of the chairs sold later in Liuguang Pavilion does not have much problem, some details and materials are also very different.
It would be okay if you have never seen the things in Ran Fang's house, but after seeing them, you will feel the difference between the two.
Even the chairs in Fusu Mansion are the same as those sold in Liuguang Pavilion.
Hearing this explanation, Gu Zongmin nodded. After all, they didn't dare to use anything made of the same wood as His Majesty.
Ever since the establishment of Liuguang Pavilion, Gu Zongmin knew that Ran Fang did not have that much trust in their Gu family, but the Gu family had to rely on Ran Fang to survive for a long time.
Therefore, he did not dare to say anything bad in front of Di Gu. After all, Di Gu was Ran Fang's confidant.
"I see."
"However, both of them are equally comfortable when sitting up. Shopkeeper Di is thoughtful."
Di Gu was not arrogant and bowed his hands to Ran Fang.
"It's all adults' idea, I'm just stating it but not doing it."
"I wonder why your Excellency asked me to come here today?"
After saying that, everyone's eyes fell on Ran Fang.
Ran Fang calmly picked up the tea that had been boiled on the table and poured it into four teacups one by one.
In a moment, the faint fragrance of tea filled the whole room.
"Bring it over to a few of you."
After saying that, a waiter immediately came forward respectfully and placed three cups of tea on the table in front of them.
Several people did not move, even Gu Siyuan put his hands on his legs, respectfully waiting for Ran Fang's instructions.
Seeing this, Ran Fang raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Everyone, give it a try."
With that said, Ran Fang first picked up his tea cup, put it to his mouth and took a sip.
After hearing this, the three of them picked up the tea cups and took a sip, imitating Ran Fang's actions.
Only Gu Siyuan, after taking a brief sip, his eyes suddenly lit up and he drank all the tea in the cup in one second.
When he put down the cup, there was still some expectation in his eyes. He looked at Ran Fang with burning eyes and asked, "Sir, are there any more?"
"Is this tea?"
"It tastes much better than the previous tea. It seems to have a unique fragrance in the mouth, which is refreshing and refreshing. There is also a touch of sweetness...it is endless aftertaste."
Gu Zongmin turned around and glared at his son. He had been doing okay just now, but he had just eaten something good and now he had forgotten who he was.
Just as he was about to apologize, he saw the boy next to Ran Fang bringing another cup of tea.
There was no sign of anger on Ran Fang's face, and he felt relieved.
"It's true. The taste of this tea has been unforgettable for a long time since I tasted it last time."
Ran Fang nodded with satisfaction and poured himself a cup of tea.
"You two think, would anyone like this tea in the city?"
As soon as these words came out, both Di Gu and Gu Zongmin understood that Ran Fang wanted to sell tea.
But after all, it was Gu Zongmin who brought this tea back, and it would be appropriate for Gu Zongmin to sell it. Now Ran Fang has invited Di Gu over. Does this mean he wants to kick the Gu family out?
Thinking about it, Gu Zongmin's face also looked a little ugly.
He hesitated for a moment, then said with some concern: "Sir, I don't think this is appropriate."
"But the tea was brought back from Sishui County by the Gu family and Mr. Xu in cooperation."
"If the adults want to do this business, the Gu family will naturally have no problem, but... if it is left to others to do it, can it be... done by the Gu family?"
"And Liuguang Pavilion's business does not involve these, I'm afraid it might be inappropriate."
In Shangyanshang, even if Liuguang Pavilion were to do this business, Gu Zongmin was unwilling to do so.
It is best to leave it to the Gu family. In this way, the Gu family's business is solely with Ran Fang and has nothing to do with the court or Zhang Han. Then it will be more convenient for the Gu family to talk to Ran Fang in the future.
But Di Gu naturally would not let this opportunity go. It was such a rare opportunity to be able to show his face in front of Ran Fang.
"That's wrong."
"The items in Liuguang Pavilion are all unheard of, and they are all items used by His Majesty."
"I will definitely offer this tea to His Majesty for tasting. Then people will naturally go to Liuguang Pavilion to ask. This is a natural thing."
"If this tea is given to the Gu family, some people may doubt whether His Majesty has really enjoyed it?"
"What does the head of the Gu family think?"
Gu Zongmin could not refute these words. He heard many people discussing in the city, what is the relationship between the person behind Liuguang Pavilion and His Majesty?
After all, not many people know that Liuguang Pavilion is Ran Fang, and those who know don't want to see the Liuguang Pavilion family being the only one, so they won't tell it intentionally.
But this does not affect Liuguang Pavilion's current status in the city.
"grown ups……"
"The Gu family's business is for the common people. This tea is not only enjoyed by the nobles in the city, but also some common people are willing to taste it occasionally. It would be best if the Gu family makes it."
Seeing them arguing like this, Gu Siyuan, who was sitting aside, was drinking tea leisurely without being affected by anything.
After every drink, the waiter next to him would immediately pour another one, which made him very satisfied.
When he was almost done drinking, he said, "Dad, it's better to let the adults decide."
"Whether it's the Gu family or the Liuguang Pavilion, they all work for you, so what does it matter who does the business for?"
"Why bother arguing about this in front of your lord? Why don't you care about how your lord is going to do this business?"
"When the time comes, won't it be enough for my Gu family to provide convenience for you?"
"In this way, it can be regarded as the best of both worlds. What does Shopkeeper Di think?"
