Soon, there was a plate of stinky tofu. Except for Zhao Ping, who tasted one piece, Peng Yue ate two pieces.
The rest fell into the pottery bowl in front of Chen Xinghe.
"hey-hey."
Chen Xinghe smiled with satisfaction.
"What are you doing, Mr. Zhou Mu?"
Mu Jianzhang was a little confused and asked, "Have you been poisoned by the tofu feast?"
"I am not sure as well."
Mu Qiaoqiao shook her head.
This was the first time she had seen such strange behavior.
He could only look at Zhao Ping inquiringly.
Zhao Ping gave a wry smile, "It only means that the stinky tofu made by Qiaoqiao is so delicious that even the dignified Zhou Mu will try to steal it regardless of his skin."
Gudong!
Hearing that it was delicious, Mu Jianzhang couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He hasn't eaten it yet?
Want to try it too.
"Want to eat?"
Chen Xinghe asked.
Mu Jianzhang nodded naturally.
"Bring the silver to buy it."
Chen Xinghe said: "A dish is worth ten thousand gold, so I will charge you a little cheaper. I charge you a hundred taels of silver for a piece of stinky tofu. Isn't that excessive?"
puff!
Zhao Ping almost spit out the tea he just drank.
God!
Master Zhou Mu is so awesome.
Not only is she on par with the aunts in her previous life who grabbed food with plastic bags, she actually knows how to stock up on goods and resell them for money.
It has the same purpose as scalpers.
However, before Zhao Ping could express his admiration, Chen Xinghe continued: "I don't take any money from the sale, I give it all to Zhao Ping."
"His thatched cottage is too dilapidated. Earning some money can help him build a new house."
"At the very least, it should be blue bricks and black tiles."
"grateful."
Zhao Ping thanked Chen Xinghe.
Mu Jianzhang was speechless. Is Zhao Ping the owner who is short of money?
A jar of acacia wine sells for 25,000 taels of silver, a piece of soap sells for 2,000 taels of silver, a pound of frosting sugar also sells for 2,000 taels of silver, and a dish sells for 10,000 taels of silver.
Just for Qiao Qiao's eighteen-course tofu banquet today, there must be 180,000 taels of silver.
Will he not be able to build a house?
Only a ghost can believe it.
But someone took the lead.
For example, Xu Tianhua just returned.
If you want to provide money to Zhao Ping, you must support him.
At least it can make up for the previous doubts about Zhao Ping.
"Give me a piece first."
Xu Tianhua handed over one hundred taels of silver.
Chen Xinghe took the silver and then gave Xu Tianhua a piece of stinky tofu.
Xu Tianhua almost held his nose and ate it.
The law of true fragrance is happening again.
One piece was not enough, so Xu Tianhua handed over another hundred taels of silver.
Anyway, he now has millions of taels of silver in his pocket, and the most important thing he needs is money.
But stinky tofu is not common.
Although he could ask Zhao Ping to cook it for him afterwards, why bother Mr. when you can get it for just a few bucks?
With your ability, if you delay for a moment, I don’t know how much money you will make if you delay me.
"Give me a piece too."
When Mu Jianzhang saw Xu Tianhua's delicious food, he couldn't help it anymore and spent a hundred taels of silver to buy a piece of stinky tofu.
Then the second piece, the third piece.
Even Peng Yue, who had tasted stinky tofu before, symbolically handed over a hundred taels of silver to buy one.
A plate of stinky tofu cost more than ten yuan, and was sold to Chen Xinghe for one thousand two hundred taels of silver.
Chen Xinghe did not hide anything and handed all the money to Zhao Ping.
Zhao Ping didn't show any politeness and put away the money with a smile.
"Mu Jianzhang, do you have anything else to do?"
Chen Xinghe asked Mu Jianzhang, "If not, just leave first."
"have……"
As soon as he said a word, he was interrupted by Mu Qiaoqiao, "What is there?"
"Brother Jianzhang, why are you becoming less and less discerning now?"
"Didn't you see that Mr. Zhou Mu has something important to discuss with your husband? How could you be the one eavesdropping?"
"Leave with me quickly, don't get in the way here."
Without any further explanation, Mu Qiaoqiao dragged Mu Jianzhang out of the main room.
When the leader leaves, the companions, accompanying guards and others can only leave.
Peng Yue wanted to leave, but Chen Xinghe stopped him and asked him to listen. It would be of great help to him in governing Donghai County in the future.
Leave in the summer too.
The people sitting here are all government officials. He, an ordinary citizen, is really uneasy.
Even with Zhao Ping sitting next to him, Xia Tian's legs were shaking non-stop.
I didn’t even dare to eat more.
Just a few symbolic chopsticks.
Especially the stinky tofu at the end. He just picked up the chopsticks and hurriedly put down the chopsticks when he saw Master Zhou Mu's "occupation".
The eyes observe the nose, the nose observes the mouth, the mouth observes the heart, and the mind is free from distractions.
Just occasionally there will be bursts of cooing sounds.
He took the opportunity to leave and went to the factory to eat two steamed buns to calm down his shock.
From now on, he will never get involved in anything like this again.
If there really is a next time, I will probably run faster than anyone else.
After all, being able to dine at the same table with the County Sheriff, the State Shepherd, and some dignitaries from the capital would be a good story no matter what.
When I go home and tell stories to my grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, I can also tell them happily.
I remember back then, your grandfather and I were with so and so, this and so and so...
Outside, Mu Jianzhang said with some regret: "Hey, Zhao Ping doesn't have the recipe for acacia wine. It seems that this trip was in vain."
"How can you run away in vain?"
Mu Qiaoqiao asked, "Do you only have acacia wine in your eyes and nothing else?"
"Something else?"
"Yes, sir, not only does he have unique experience in wine making, but he is also very good at doing business."
Mu Qiaoqiao said: "You stay in Xiping Village during this period, and I will take you around."
"After Mr. Zhou Mu leaves, I will formally introduce you to your husband. If he agrees to let you stay, you can work with him from now on."
"What?"
Mu Jianzhang pointed to his nose and said in disbelief: "My father is a dignified prince and tutor, and I am also the chief inspector of Jiangnan Yipinxiang Restaurant."
"Our Mu family needs me to take care of a lot of business."
"You actually asked me to follow Zhao Ping?"
"And you're still taking him in?"
"What do you think I am?"
"Besides, is Zhao Ping worthy?"
"How to speak?"
Mu Qiaoqiao scolded with a dark face, "Sir, I respect you, and I won't allow you to underestimate him."
"And you're busy?"
"You are nominally in charge of the restaurant, but how much do you really manage?"
"Isn't it the case that I'm busy doing all the work for you?"
"Hang around with those dandy young masters in the capital all day long, have you lost your mind?"
"Can't you see how special Mr. is?"
"What's special?"
Mu Jianzhang was stunned by the question. His knowledge of Zhao Ping was limited to rumors in the capital.
Acacia wine, soap, and frosting sugar are just legends.
It is not known whether it was made by Zhao Pingzhi.
Now that I have met Zhao Ping, I find that apart from being more handsome, he doesn't seem to have anything special about him?
He muttered his doubts casually.
"you!"
Mu Qiaoqiao was so angry that she said, "Mu Jianzhang, you really disappoint me."
"Peng Yue came with you. You should have passed through the county town, so you should have seen the business situation of Xiping Village Cloth Village."
"Didn't you learn something from it?"
"Oh, I actually forgot about this."
Mu Jianzhang slapped his forehead, "You have to learn that lottery mode. I'm going to find Zhao Ping now and ask him for advice."
With that said, he was about to return to the main room again, but was pulled over by Mu Qiaoqiao.
"Sir, you are discussing something with Mr. Zhou Mu. Can you please be quiet?"
Mu Qiaoqiao said angrily: "Since you still know how to ask sir for advice, it proves that you can still be saved."
"Send back all the people you brought."
"Come with me, and we'll go find the husband together after the party."
"These are my brothers, how could I..."
Before he could finish his words, Mu Qiaoqiao scolded: "What kind of brothers? They are just fair-weather friends."
"If something happens, which one of them can be of great use?"
"Other than being a drag on you, doing anything else won't help."
"You came together to buy the acacia wine formula from your husband. Now that the formula is unavailable, you can just send him away."
"Xiping Village does not welcome outsiders."
"If you hadn't been related to me, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to enter Xiping Village."
Mu Jianzhang thought of what happened at the entrance of the village.
Even the dignified Zhou Mu Master Chen Xinghe was blocked outside. There was a real possibility that he wouldn't be able to get in.
A small village, but so tightly guarded.
There must be a big secret inside.
You must stay and explore.
It would be best to learn some of Zhao Ping's business strategies, then the trip would be worthwhile.
Mu Jianzhang came to his senses, didn't say anything more, and ran over to send away the people he had brought.
It didn't matter to others, they were all obedient.
Who makes Mu Jianzhang's father be their boss, and Mu Jianzhang is the eldest brother of them all.
But Zheng Tu is an exception.
Separate?
That's just right.
I will bring people over to deal with Zhao Ping later.
A mere mountain villager dares to bully me. Just wait, I will definitely make you pay for what happened before.
In the room, Chen Xinghe was the first to speak.
"Zhao Ping, don't think that I'm helping you make money just because my opinion of you has changed."
"That's me repaying my kindness."
"You helped me eliminate the bandits in Qingzhou. Naturally, I will not retaliate for kindness."
"But you are arbitrarily lowering the price of cloth and destroying other cloth shops. This is seriously disrupting the business of cloth shops and deliberately murdering others."
"You must give me an explanation today."
"Otherwise, I will close down your cloth shop and prohibit you from doing business in Qingzhou."
