Liu Haojia was extremely surprised when he heard this! Is this still the dad who practices martial arts all day long? Why do you seem to understand everything in the world better than me, a person who has experienced thousands of years of culture and modern culture! And since he sees it so clearly, why is the Liu family still in such a state of despair?
So Liu Haojia wanted to ask this question, but he couldn't directly question his father, so in the end he just opened his mouth!
But at this time, Father Liu said with a smile: "Are you trying to say, I am very clear when I talk about things, why did I let Uncle Gu Ning's mansion fall to this point?"
Liu Haojia grinned sheepishly, but nodded vigorously. Father Liu picked up the tea cup and took a sip and said: "I have been thinking about how to revive Uncle Gu Ning's mansion all day long, and naturally I can think of something! But although I can see things clearly, when the title was passed to me, Uncle Gu Ning The government has no money! And without money, I can't do anything. What can I do? After all, I don't know business, I only know martial arts! So I can only practice martial arts diligently, hoping that one day I can fight in the future, so I can rely on it. Revitalize the Gu Ningbo Mansion with military success! You know, this is the only way to avoid being suppressed! Also, do you know why our family has been able to live freely until now?"
After hearing what his father said thoroughly, Liu Haojia also let go of his courage and whispered: "Isn't it because our family is completely harmless? After all, our Gu Ningbo Mansion has been excluded from the nobles, and there is only an empty courtyard!"
But Liu Fu said with a wry smile: "That's not the case at all! It's because there are two people of equal strength in our Gu Ningbo's house, and they can't defeat each other for a while, so they tolerate our family's existence until now. Now! Believe it or not, even if you want to sell your yard, no one would dare to buy it! And I don’t dare to sell it yet. If I sell it to one person, I will offend the other person, and it will be even more unlucky then!"
Liu Haojia was shocked when he heard this and asked hurriedly: "Which two families are they? These are life and death enemies!"
Father Liu waved his hand and said: "You don't have to think so much now, you will know it in the future! Besides, if our family's plan succeeds, they will naturally stop it! If they don't stop it, they will naturally need you to plan it." Got it!"
After speaking, Father Liu put down his teacup and went out, leaving Liu Haojia with a confused look on his face! Only then did Liu Haojia realize that things were never as simple as he saw! At this time, his contempt for the ancient people had completely disappeared without a trace, and instead he tried hard to remind himself to be careful!
Because the current situation is like a joke he heard before. When you have a dispute with a fool, the fool will bring you to the same level as him, and then use his rich experience to defeat you!
Although this metaphor is not very appropriate, at the beginning, Liu Haojia thought these ancient people were fools! But only now did he realize that these people were making good use of the existing rules, leaving him nowhere to start! This forced Liu Haojia felt that it was necessary to adjust the plan, otherwise, if the time dragged on for a long time, he would have long nights and many dreams!
Early the next morning, Father Liu and Liu Guangyuan went out to determine where to purchase brown sugar and lemon fruits. And they have to contact more than one channel to ensure the security of supply! As for Liu Haojia, he took the Jinbao brothers to buy tools. Liu Haonian was waiting at home for Zhang Shiping to send someone to take away all the snow candies!
Now the entire Liu family has been completely mobilized! With Xuetang as a natural source of wealth, Liu's father has placed all his bets on it! It’s done, Gu Ningbo’s mansion is revived! If you fail, you will be completely defeated! Father Liu has even quietly made preparations. If necessary, he will ask Liu Guangyuan to protect the Liu Haojia brothers and leave the capital, while he stays to face the final storm!
After a few days of busy work, a few people finally got everything done, and the action was quite secretive! Not only do outsiders not know the specific situation, but even the merchants who supply them with brown sugar and lemon fruits don’t know who purchased the goods and where they will be sent. The whole thing went on smoothly, and no one discovered the secret!
But not long after, merchants discovered that sugar seemed to be particularly popular in the Beijing market this year, so they increased their supply and raised their prices! As for people who spend money, they don’t care about the increased prices at all!
Because all those who can afford sugary foods are big families and wealthy businessmen, and spending a few more taels of silver is simply a drop in the bucket for them! Not even a drop in the bucket! As for although some middle-class people and some businessmen from restaurants and snack shops complained a few times, no one noticed that anyone was buying up brown sugar in the market!
As for the Liu family's small yard, it's a different scene! The whole Liu family was busy processing snow sugar. Even Liu's mother and Huancui took off their jewelry and put on coarse clothes to help light the fire and boil sugar! The one who is more leisurely is Liu Haojia! But he didn't have much time to spare, because he had to keep running between the stoves, telling them what to do!
Soon, a large amount of snow candy was produced and then put into wooden barrels specially customized by Liu Haojia. The wooden barrel is not big, and one wooden barrel can only hold 30 kilograms of snow candy. After the barrel is filled with snow sugar, it will be sealed with a lid and sent to the room for storage! Then it was transported into Uncle Gu Ning's mansion through the courtyard wall quietly and handed over to Zhang Shunping!
Time flies so fast in this busyness, and in the blink of an eye, the New Year is less than a month away! However, the high sugar prices this year have naturally caused some people to complain!
These people are all ordinary people who have a little extra money. They plan to make more snacks during the Chinese New Year and prepare some candies for their children! But the price of sugar has increased by 50% compared to last year! But the amount they used was small, so after complaining, they simply lowered the purchase quantity and that was it!
But things are different in other places! Because during this period of time, Zhang Shunping was not idle. He conducted advance publicity according to his own ideas and Liu Haojia's prompts. However, he did not do any publicity in the market at all, but found another way. He sets his sights on people with the biggest sweet tooth!
There is a brothel in the capital called Mingyue Tower! There is a top girl in the building named Mingyue! Of course, it's not that Mingyue Tower only exists because the top girl is named Mingyue, but that all the top girls in Mingyue Tower over the years are named Mingyue! Moreover, Mingyue girls over the years are all excellent in both sex and art!
