    Next to the big stone bridge, the place where Zhao Shouzheng was in a daze last time.

    "After entering, my father insisted that this is the secret recipe that my grandfather left for you to turn over." Zhao Hao pointed to the piece of paper full of words and said: "With this document and sugar, I don't have to worry about Zhang's disbelief."

    "That makes sense." Zhao Shouzheng nodded and said in surprise: "As long as Brother Zhang believes that this recipe is genuine, he will be willing to pay for it?"

    "Yesterday when I was shopping, I went to other stores to ask whether pawn shops accept merchants' exclusive secret recipes and the like."

    Zhao Hao obviously came prepared. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "I just don't accept the death penalty, and the right is used as a mortgage loan."

    Zhao Shouzheng seemed to understand and nodded again: "Okay, then I'll give it a try. I wonder how much money my son wants to be?"

    "Ten thousand taels" Zhao Hao stretched out a finger.

    "Ah" Zhao Shouzheng exclaimed and almost fell off the bridge.

    "You can just ask for 10,000 taels." Zhao Haoxiang said: "The man named Zhang will definitely haggle to the death, but father must remember that 2,000 taels is the minimum price. If it is less than this amount, my father will not have any pocket money before the New Year.  ¡±

    "Ah!" Zhao Shouzheng's screams became louder and he said with a grimace: "Tomorrow is only the first day of March, there are still ten months in the year, and my son is so cruel."

    "So, for the twenty taels of silver and for the pocket money in the future, father must complete this matter." Zhao Hao looked at Zhao Shouzheng with a smile and said, "Answer me, can you avenge your shame?"

    "It can! It must be possible!" Zhao Shouzheng clapped his chest vigorously. After thinking about it with excitement, he dropped his face and said, "How is it possible"

    "Don't worry, father, as long as you do as I say, you'll be fine." Zhao Hao then taught Zhao Shouzheng how to start a conversation, how to answer, and how to bargain.

    "When the pawn ticket was drawn up and asked for your signature, my father said that this is a serious matter and you should read it carefully. Remember that the period of death is half a year, and it must not be 'six months'." At the end, Zhao  Hao said in a deep voice: "If the other party still agrees, you can"

    "Shall I sign?" Zhao Shouzheng asked with wide eyes.

    "You can just continue to take Qiao with peace of mind. If you think about it, you are still worried. If they peek at the secret recipe, it will be troublesome. Then get up and leave with the things." Zhao Hao said quietly.

    "If the man named Zhang doesn't stop him, won't he be embarrassed as a father?" Zhao Shouzheng asked anxiously.

    "He will definitely stop him. It has come to this point, which shows that he wants this recipe so much. How can he let the cooked duck fly away?" Zhao Hao smiled confidently: "I have asked about this.  There are rules for buying and selling, and he will make you feel at ease when the time comes."

    After Zhao Hao finished speaking, he asked his father to repeat it to him again. He felt that it was almost the same, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

    "Go ahead, this time Gao Wu and I will defend my father outside" Zhao Hao pushed Zhao Shouzheng forward with all his strength.

    Zhao Shouzheng had a look of reluctance on his face. First, he was afraid of dealing with that member Zhang again, and second, he was worried that he would mess up his son's affairs and appear incompetent in front of his son.

    "Father, just relax. Whatever you do normally, you will do whatever you want later. There is no need to go out of your way to get Qiao." Zhao Hao pushed him and massaged Zhao Shouzheng's shoulders and said, "If we're done, can I give Dad a hundred taels of pocket money?  "

    "Really?" Zhao Shouzheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. He immediately stopped pushing Zhao Hao and said boldly: "Even though there are thousands of people, I am going! I am going for my father!"

    "Go, wait for the victory, and be proud to celebrate for your father!" Zhao Hao waved his arms and watched Zhao Shouzheng enter Nade Hengdang with his head held high.

    Gao Wu, who had been standing by silently, finally couldn't help but ask.

    "Young master is good at dealing with profiteers, why do you still need to embarrass me?"

    "I can't do this kind of thing, and you can't do it either," Zhao Hao shook his head and said meaningfully: "Only my father can do it."

    Gao Wu scratched his head and became even more confused.

    ??~~

    As soon as you enter Dehengdang, you are faced with a huanghuali screen, with a large gold character engraved on it - "Dang"!

    Turning around the screen, there is a high counter surrounded by an iron fence.  On the west side of the counter, a tea room is separated by a bead curtain to receive distinguished guests.

    As soon as Zhao Shouzheng entered, the goatee man behind the counter immediately lit up and said hello with a smile on his face: "How are you, Mr. Zhao? Are you here to take care of our store's business again?"

    ??????????????????????????????? He hurriedly walked out, and while asking the waiter to report to his employer, he enthusiastically opened the bead curtain and invited Zhao Shouzheng to come in and take a seat.  They also served refreshments and made excellent Maofeng.

    ?Under the diligent flattery, Zhao Shouzheng was in a trance and returned to his original state of serving as a minister.

    Of course people are enthusiastic about him!

    Recently there are rumors in the capital that the newly enthroned Emperor Longqing is very fond of Lu Zigang¡¯s works and may one day recruit him into the palace to carve jade for the royal family.

    Regardless of whether the news is true or false, Lu Zigang's works have been sold out on the market, and the prices of the authentic products have doubled several times.

    Within a few days, someone offered a high price of six hundred taels for the jade pendant.

    At that time, Zhao Shouzheng only received a pitiful twenty taels

    ????????????????? Which pawnshop in this big Yanggu shop shouldn¡¯t be used as an ancestor¡¯s offering?

    Sure enough, not long after, Zhang Yuanwai heard the news and came over. He enthusiastically held his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "My dear brother, we really haven't seen each other for one day, it's like three autumns. I really want to be my brother!"

    "Brother, you're welcome, but my foolish brother is here to cause trouble for you again." Zhao Shouzheng followed Zhao Hao's instructions and began to cheat.  It's just the first time I've done this kind of thing, and I can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

    But the more he behaved like this, the more people felt at ease. Zhang Yuanwai held Zhao Shouzheng's hand tightly, fearing that he would run away, and said affectionately: "We are like flesh and blood. It would be too much to say that it would cause trouble."  .¡±

    As he spoke, he looked at Chao Feng and said, "I'm just worried that Brother Zhao Xian won't bother me."

    "Yes, yes, yes." Chao Feng stood aside, smiling so hard that his goatee trembled.

    After finishing the nonsense, Zhang Yuanwai went straight to the point and said: "My dear brother is here today, what else do you have to do?"

    "Brother, take a look at this first." Zhao Shouzheng handed the carton to Zhang Yuanwai.

    "Okay, let me take a look." Zhang Yuanwai took the carton and opened the paper bag, and saw the thin white sugar in the bag.

    "Oh?" Zhang Yuanwai frowned slightly and whispered a few words to Chaofeng. Chaofeng quickly walked to the back room and took out an exquisite mahogany box.

    Opening the wooden box, there was a Jingdezhen porcelain cup with a lid wrapped in red silk. Both the mahogany box and the porcelain cup had the trademark "Tang Ji" on them.

    Zhang Yuanwai carefully picked up the porcelain cup, opened the lid, and found exactly the same white sugar inside.

    He tasted them separately, and they tasted exactly the same.  Judging from his experience, the two candies were definitely from the same batch.

    He weighed the paper bag and found that it weighed a pound. He opened his mouth in surprise.

    You know, the box in his hand was only three taels of candy, but it cost him a full ten taels of silver.

    The bag of candy that Zhao Shouzheng brought was worth at least fifty taels of silver, but it was just put in a torn paper bag and scattered all over the box

    Although Zhang Yuanwai felt distressed, he couldn't help but secretly sigh, Zhao Liben's family background is really unfathomable, no matter how hard he scrapes, he can't get to the bottom!
