Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Looking at Qiaoqiao¡¯s slightly flustered back, Zhao Hao couldn¡¯t help but sigh.

    "What on earth was she thinking? Why didn't she ask, what did I add to the soup bowl?"

    He deliberately showed the scallops to Qiaoqiao, wanting her to warm up before going back so that she could have a good start tomorrow.

    "Hey, don't bother, sir." Old Man Gao shook his head and said, "How can you guess the girl's thoughts?"

    "Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded in agreement and stopped thinking about it.

    ??~~

    In that room, Tang Ji Nan Goods Store has opened its doors to accept customers.

    The guys quickly moved the store¡¯s general merchandise to the door for display and solicitation. They were all very busy, but no one dared to say a word.

    Three days ago, Boss Tang woke them up, broke Liu Gouer's legs with his own hands in front of them, and sent him to the county government.  Yesterday, the news came that Liu Gou'er had died in prison, which made everyone stay silent They thought that Boss Tang must have bribed the jailer, tampered with it, and took Liu Gou'er's life before the court.

    Seeing the boss restless in the store, who dares to touch him?

    The shopkeeper really couldn¡¯t stand it, so he whispered: ¡°Boss, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡±

    "Hey, isn't it the same thing we talked about the day before yesterday?" Boss Tang looked at the bright sky outside, scratched his head and said, "Today is the day we made an appointment, and I haven't decided yet whether to go or not."

    "Since you are so entangled, then don't go." The shopkeeper suggested: "Although that kid is mature, he is still a shabby dude of fourteen or fifteen years old. The master's money did not come from the flood, so there is no need to take it.  So much money to play house with him."

    "You are right," Boss Tang nodded, but then shook his head and said, "But I always feel that there is something extraordinary about that kid."

    "I left She County when I was eleven years old to work as an apprentice. I have been doing business for twenty-eight years and have met more than tens of thousands of people." He said with a wry smile and said: "There are only a few people who can make me feel like this.  The last one was Shen Zhuangyuan."

    "The boss is talking about the champion who fought against the Japanese?" The shopkeeper couldn't help but exclaimed: "He is the Wenquxing who came to earth, although the ending was a bit miserable"

    "Yes, it's a coincidence that Shen Zhuangyuan is also from Xiuning. But I feel that that boy may be even better." Tang Youde laughed as he said it. How could he compare to the champion of Jiajing for twenty years?  Where is Gong Shen Kun going to compete?

    But he also made up his mind, put the meeting ticket on the table into his sleeve, stood up and said: "Prepare the car, think of it as a try, I will accept the loss!"

    In fact, this is a bit good.  After several days of investigation, he determined that the price of silk had almost reached rock bottom.  What Zhao Hao is talking about is buying low and selling high, and it is not about opening a weaving workshop. Even if you don't make any money in the end, at most you will only lose some transportation and warehousing expenses.

    "Yes." Seeing that his employer had made up his mind, the shopkeeper stopped talking nonsense.

    ??~~

    After breakfast, Tang Youde¡¯s guy hadn¡¯t come to the door yet. Zhao Hao was a little bored waiting, so he picked up his brush and calculated his recent expenses.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of consideration for the 500 taels, Tang Youde gave another 500 taels as compensation, making a total of 550 taels.

    There are only two items of income listed, but there are more than a dozen items of expenditure50 taels to buy a house, and a total of 28 taels to purchase furnitureThis is still 20 taels that Old Man Gao cut off;

    It cost ten taels to buy floor tiles and twenty taels to lay the tiles.

    It costs five taels and seven dollars to purchase bed sheets, bedding, mosquito nets, tea sets, tableware and other daily necessities.

    Give his father twenty taels of pocket money and a reward of 100 taels, including the expenses for going to the cultural gathering Although it is said that he has not donated it, Zhao Hao will not ask for it from him again.

    I bought one or two walnuts, jujubes and other brain-tonifying dried fruits for Zhao Shouzheng.  As well as one tael for a month's worth of fresh milk for the father and son.

    There are also the four treasures of the study, nine taels and seven cents.

    He and his son each bought four sets of new spring and summer clothes, plus various accessories such as shoes and hats, sachets, belts, hairpins, jade pendants, etc., and spent another twenty-one or two or three yuan.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The five of us spend a total of 32,99 yuan just on meals Of course, this is also because Zhao Hao often invites banquets and even went to Deyiju once.

    As for the carriage fare and casual rewards, I won¡¯t count them in details. They can be settled for about five coins.

    By the way, he also paid five taels of taxes for Fang De Although it was said to be deducted from Fang Wen's salary, how could Zhao Hao behave like this?  Sooner or later, Fang Wen will be compensated.

    I almost forgot, there are twenty taels for the uncle.

    Lin Lin finally added up and found that there were as much as two hundred and seventy-eight taels

    Really notIf you don't know, you will be shocked.

    "How many days have it been? I thought it was quite economical." Zhao Hao took a breath, but he didn't expect that half of the five hundred and fifty taels of silver had already been spent!

    "Young master, don't be too worried. A lot of money is a one-time expense, and it won't be like this every month." Old Man Gao, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly comforted him: "It's not a big deal, we just need to save money on expenses."

    Old Man Gao thought to himself, it¡¯s time to give full play to my strengths again.

    "It's okay. You can't eat or drink this money. You can only pay for it when you spend it." Zhao Hao was very open-minded, not to mention that he still had 5.2 million yuan of membership votes at the bottom of the box, so he was naturally very courageous.

    He smiled and pointed to the door of the courtyard and said: "If you are worried about making ends meet, just make more money."

    Tang Youde finally arrived too late.

    ??~~

    As soon as he entered the door, Tang Youde's face was full of apology and he said: "I'm sorry, sir, there was a lot in the store this morning, so I just got away."

    "It's great if you can come." Zhao Hao looked at him with a half-smile but said, "I thought Boss Tang had given up."

    "Young Master is joking, I, Tang Ji, am based on faith" Tang Youde slapped his chest, his resolute look was completely different from when he was in the store.

    "Yes, it's eighty-nine years since the century-old store." Zhao Hao smiled and invited him into the room.

    Tang Youde sat down on the official hat chair and looked at the green brick floor in the room, the new doors, windows and furniture, and he became more and more sure of his guess.  The old Zhao family deliberately pretended to be poor and stayed in Caijia Lane to avoid the high arch.

    "Compared to the last time I came here, it's really heaven and earth." Tang Youde complimented casually: "Put in a few more pieces of porcelain and hang a few calligraphy and paintings, and it will look great."

    "What, how many things does Boss Tang want to give me?" Zhao Hao joked with a smile while making tea for him.

    "Oh haha, I don't know what the young master likes, I'm afraid it won't reach my heart." Tang Youde said with a strong smile.

    "I like everything that is expensive." Zhao Hao sat down on the main seat, took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "This Mao Feng is not as good as Boss Tang's."

    "Okay, I'll bring a pack for Young Master to try next time." Tang Youde made it clear in his heart, Young Master Zhao thought I was late.  If he didn't bleed a little, he wouldn't be able to live in peace.

    "Just throw away a bag of tea leaves?" Zhao Hao was particularly dissatisfied. He looked at Tang Youde and teased: "I heard that your store's 'Frost into Snow' is very popular in Nanjing recently."

    "Hehe" Tang Youde knew that he couldn't hide it from this kid, which was why he hesitated to leave.  If you come, you will definitely get a knife.

    Since extending one¡¯s head is a sword and shrinking one¡¯s, he naturally took the initiative to smile and said, ¡°Thanks to you, I didn¡¯t expect white sugar to sell so well. But don¡¯t worry, sir, we, Old Tang, will never let you suffer.¡±

    ¡°As he spoke, he took out a conference ticket from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Hao for inspection.

    Zhao Hao glanced at it and said, "Three thousand taels?"

    "I invested all the money I earned and divided it evenly. What do you think?" Tang Youde looked generous and righteous.

    "That's pretty much it." Zhao Hao finally smiled.  In fact, after the money and goods are settled, it has nothing to do with how much the sugar is sold for.  It is already very rare for Tang Youde to be able to do this.

    Tang Youde took the meeting ticket returned from Zhao Hao, and Fang Xiao asked, "Are you ready for the young master's share?"

    Zhao Hao then flicked a scratchy mulberry paper banknote in front of him.

    Looking at the 2,000 taels issued by the National Tongdui Wanyuan Account, Zhao Shouzheng's signature on it is particularly eye-catching.  Tang Youde couldn't help but gasped and said to himself: 'Sure enough, a camel is so skinny that it is bigger than a horse.  ¡¯

    Now he no longer had any doubts, and he happily made a contract with Zhao Hao.  Both parties pooled their capital of 5,000 taels and collected the silk this month. They will sell it within the year. They will share losses and profits equally

    When the signatures and stamps were completed and the documents were established, Tang Youde finally couldn't help but ask: "Sir, can you tell me now, why do you think the price of silk will rise sharply?"

    "In January of this year, Tu Zemin, the censor of the governor of Fujian, wrote a letter saying, 'Please open a market for shipping, and turn private traders into public traders.'" Zhao Hao finally stopped selling his stuff.
