When Xu Qin heard what the steward of Duke Qi said, he couldn't stop laughing. I knew you would cause trouble. It has been prepared for you a long time ago.
"Come here, I'll tell you a secret." Xu Qin said.
The steward of Duke Qi didn't know why, but the young Duke probably wouldn't bite his ears like a dog. So let’s stick to it.
Xu Qin whispered a few words in his ear, and Duke Qi's housekeeper's face changed drastically, and he looked at Xu Qin with a serious expression.
"Little Duke, are you serious about this?" Qi Guogong's housekeeper asked in surprise.
"Get lost..." Xu Qin told him to get lost unceremoniously.
The steward of the Duke of Qi ran away in a hurry, not daring to stop at all.
"A bunch of idiots are still fighting with me. They are all idiots who don't understand anything." Xu Qin looked at his back and said.
After scaring away Qi Guogong's housekeeper, Xu Qin welcomed his own father, and one look at his face told him that something was up to him.
"Son, we can't sell that formula. Keeping it in our own business is the long-term solution. If we sell it again, our government's reputation will be ruined." Xu Huizu came to stop his son.
Apparently he had caught wind of the rumors, too.
"Father, you know what His Majesty means. The time is coming. If you don't have money to repay the debt, should you really let your aunt enter the palace?" Xu Qin said angrily.
"It's easy to handle. Let's mortgage this secret recipe to the bank, use the bank's money to pay off the debt, and then make money to slowly repay the bank." Xu Huizu said directly.
Xu Qinxin said there is mortgage business these days? It's a pity that my father kept things simple. The soap recipe is not that complicated and cannot be kept secret for several years.
What is really valuable is this plan. The high price of soap is a result of the hype. How can it be so expensive in the future? Besides, how many people care about the secret recipe when the soap is so valuable?
Once the secret recipe is revealed, there is no place to cry.
Selling money now is the most reasonable choice, let alone do you really think I am just selling the secret recipe?
"Father, you asked me to do it freely, now don't interfere in this matter. I have my own sense of discretion." Xu Qinhao agreed to discuss it.
Unexpectedly, Wei Guogong's attitude was very blunt.
"No, you don't know the ropes at all. This thing can no longer be sold. This matter is settled."
Duke Wei said sternly. Xu Qin became angry when he heard this.
"How did you have the nerve to say this after running your family like this? Where were you when His Majesty set a time limit for me?" Xu Qin became angry and stopped talking.
Start squirting in front of your biological father.
What he used to hate most was when laymen guided experts. He was obviously doing a good job, but he had to have a leader come over and point fingers, thinking he was very smart.
He is obviously an outsider, but just because he is the leader, he must be right. You, an expert, are both right and wrong.
After traveling through time and encountering this bad thing, Xu Qin exploded, and his own father was not used to it.
"It's your ancestor's thing. Do you really think it's your ancestor's thing? Did your ancestor leave this thing to you? Did you burn your brain by drinking alcohol?" Xu Qin asked angrily.
Xu Huizu was stunned. Wasn't this thing left by his father? Wasn't it passed down from the gods to my father? I have indeed never heard of such a thing before.
Is it really not the case that this kid did it?
"I don't understand business? Do you think it's easy to push the situation to this point? All these self-righteous bumpkins will let you know what dimensionality reduction strikes are." Xu Qin slapped the table and said angrily.
Xu Huizu's expression kept changing, and he looked at Xu Qin and thought again.
"If you make trouble with me again, I will hang myself on the southeastern branch to make you an heir. Don't make trouble with that bastard. Even if His Majesty is blind, he will not let him inherit the title. Go back and drink your alcohol, and see how I make money." Xu Qin pointed at his father's face and shouted angrily.
The alcohol distilled by Xu Qin to treat his illness was drunk by Wei Guogong, making him dizzy every day.
After spraying, my throat was dry and I was panting. There is really nothing we can do when we encounter such a wronged father.
"Speak nicely, why are you shouting! This matter is not that simple, be careful." Xu Huizu left an embarrassing sentence, turned around and left.
I don’t know whether it’s because I’m afraid that my son will hang himself on the southeastern branch, or because he’ll be embarrassed by his son’s words. In short, he will never come back.
In the past few days, some people have reported that the "True Face and Soap Jade" technique and its obscene techniques to confuse people's hearts should be banned.
Some ministers complained to Zhu Di that this "true face and soap jade" caused unrest in the back house and should be banned.
There are also censors who impeached "Zhenyan Zaoyu" for leading a luxurious style, which is not good for people to live and work in peace and contentment, and should be banned.
Zhu Di kept these memorials calmly and pretended not to have seen it. He had to wait a little longer.
The auction was held as scheduled at Zhaixing Tower. During this period, Zhaixing Tower was the most famous place in Yingtian Mansion. Now the much-anticipated auction has finally taken place.
There were no dignitaries present at the auction. These dignitaries do not do business on the surface. Of course, it is normal for housekeepers and the like to have a shop or something.
Those who come are either wealthy businessmen or some unknown shops, so don't underestimate these people. There might be a distinguished person standing behind any of them.
The layout of the Zhaixinglou auction site is quiet and elegant, but only those who know the industry will understand the luxury involved.
The camel hair blanket under your feet is worth thousands of gold. All the woodwork is made of old rosewood. The brocades on the walls are all with extremely complicated embroidery, which is hard to find.
The tea sets on the table are all famous products from the official kilns, and some are even from the previous dynasty. Taking out any of the tea utensils is enough to make a small door jealous.
Even more rare is the maid who takes care of the situation. Her etiquette is thoughtful, elegant and refined, and even has a palace charm.
This made a group of extravagant businessmen speechless. These are things that money cannot buy, and they are benefits that money cannot enjoy.
I couldn't help but become nervous and didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear that others would think that I was a rude old man who made a fortune, holding on to everything.
The auction hasn't started yet, but many people are interested in it. Then they heard that this was the private guild hall of Miao Jin, the second lady of Wei Guogong's mansion.
On weekdays, only the noble female family members of good friends are received.
It is said that the best snacks in Quanying Tianfu are sent here, the most seasonal snacks are also here, the best rouge, gouache, and the best fabrics are all here.
In addition, there are the best tailors, the best masters of dressmaking, the best embroidery masters, the best masters of tea cooking and flower arranging, and even old maids from the palace to give guidance on makeup etiquette.
After hearing this, these big businessmen's eyes lit up and they looked at the maids serving around them. They all had solemn faces and well-dressed clothes. The walking movements are light and elegant, which is indeed everyone's style.
They all secretly had an idea in their hearts. They must bring more female relatives to their family, especially daughters. If you build a place like this, you can get into any wealthy family.
After these wealthy businessmen had finished gossiping, Xu Qin started the auction.
The process was exactly the same as Xu Qin arranged. After some bidding, two companies were left bidding. One is Fengyu Zhai and the other is Deyu Building.
The two sides bid alternately, and Deyulou finally won with a price of 500,000 taels and obtained the formula.
Everyone else is in pain, five hundred thousand taels. But the shopkeeper of Deyu Tower was overjoyed. This Feng Yuzhai was naturally arranged by Xu Qin himself, and the Duke of Qi was behind Deyu Tower.
He did it on purpose, because he knew that the words brought back by Qi Guo Gong's housekeeper would definitely make Qi Guo Gong and the people behind him fight desperately to get the formula.
Xu Qin told them only one sentence that seemed true and false. "My eldest aunt owns 20% of my recipe." Naturally, my eldest aunt's shares were handed over to His Majesty.
So Qi Guogong's housekeeper was scared away. Not only did Qi Guogong not dare to make trouble and lower the price, he even tried his best to raise the price to get the formula.
The auction is over and the wealthy businessmen are all leaving. But he was stopped by Xu Qin, joking, it would be a shame to let you go like this.
You think I really only sell soap.
"Everyone, wait a moment, I have something else for you to appreciate," Xu Qin said.
"Oh? I wonder what other formulas my young master has?" the shopkeeper of Deyulou asked proudly. It was a great achievement for him to obtain this formula, and he was naturally happy.
Others also became interested after hearing the recipe.
"There are so many recipes. There are only a few things that are not on the table. I wonder if you are interested." Xu Qin said and waved his hand.
Immediately four elegant maids came up with several things, and all the wealthy businessmen immediately let out an exclamation. What did you see?
Several people rubbed their eyes vigorously, unable to believe that such a thing existed in the world.
A half-foot-tall glass Guanyin, a half-foot-tall glass horse, a set of glass wine sets, and a glass black bird.
When Xu Qin was making soap, he also made glass. The main raw material of this thing is quartz stone, and the main production area is near Yingtian Mansion.
The next step is just burning. Once the temperature is reached, glass will naturally appear. He didn't know what else to add besides quartz stone. Anyway, there were several kinds of stones and materials mixed back and forth.
Several porcelain kilns and brick kilns in the family stopped to bake this for him. Slowly the glass burned out.
As long as the glass comes out, shaping is not difficult. Xu Qin only knew how to blow with a long pipe. Or the craftsman can use the mold directly.
He got the raw materials, and the rest was left to the craftsmen to do whatever they wanted. These were the only four pieces that were available as finished products.
There has been glass in China for a long time, but it is called colored glaze, which is different from the soda-lime glass that Xu Qin came up with. Real glass mirrors and glass products did not appear in China until two hundred years later.
There were also some defective products and crooked melons and cracked dates that were being reheated, and Xu Qin had no time to take them out. But these four items are enough.
It seemed to Xu Qin that these were defective products, with bubbles, insufficient transparency, and even a lot of impurities. It can only be seen under certain angles of light.
But seeing the shock and greed in these people's eyes, Xu Qin silently raised the butcher's knife. Do you think I only auction soap recipes?
Working for a long time just to pay off the debt? How can we gather so many wealthy people together and not harvest a handful of wool or cut a bunch of leeks to be worthy of you?
You will never understand what dimension reduction attack is.
"Everyone has heard that the entire Yingtian Mansion knows that I am a prodigal and an unfilial person. I am selling one of my ancestors' things, and these are also for sale.
After the sale was completed, I continued to eat, drink, and whore. Are you interested? "
Xu Qin pointed at these things with a hammer, which frightened the wealthy businessmen around him.
He said in his heart that he was indeed a prodigal, and that he had taken out the treasure of the Duke of Wei's house.
"Young master, be careful, be careful, it won't be beautiful if you knock it off a little bit..." Someone reminded the young master sadly, as if these things already belong to them.
