Jinxiu Pavilion sells silk and cloth, and it is the same as the Xu family that Shen Lang married before, but the scale is smaller than the Xu family.
Although its owner, the Lin family, is not as wealthy as the Xu family, it is also a well-known wealthy family in Xuanwu City, and has branches in more than a dozen surrounding cities.
Most importantly, this Lin family is the Xu family's competitor.
Seeing Shen Lang and Tian Shisan coming in, immediately a staff came forward to greet them.
"Hello, guest officer, I'm here to look at the fabrics. The new cotton fabrics we just launched are thin and soft." The store clerk has sharp eyes and can tell at a glance that Shen Lang has no money, so what he sells is cotton fabrics. Not silk.
Shen Lang said directly: "Tell your master, I want to do a big business with the Lin family, at least let him earn five thousand gold coins more every year."
As soon as the words came out, the guy was stunned. Although he had a smile on his face, he was extremely contemptuous in his heart. With your poor appearance, if you could earn five thousand gold coins every year, would you still be so poor
"Guest officer, don't make fun of the villain." The waiter laughed.
Tian Shisan said from the side: "I am Tian Shisan from the Black Clothes Gang. I would like to invite Master Lin to negotiate a business."
As soon as the words came out, the guy didn't dare to take it seriously.
Tian Heng's Black Clothes Gang is well-known in the whole Xuanwu City. They are engaged in gambling stalls, brothels, and mortgage businesses. Although they usually do not interfere with the Lin family's well water, such gangster forces try not to offend them as much as possible.
This fellow thought that Tian Shisan was blackmailing on behalf of the Black Clothes Gang.
"Master Thirteen, it's too late to welcome you here." A chubby shopkeeper walked out quickly and said loudly, "Serve tea, serve good tea."
The waiter hurried over to make a pot of fragrant tea, and poured a cup for Tian Shisan and Shen Lang each.
The shopkeeper said: "Master Thirteen, what do you say is the same as what I said, my master has long wanted to make friends with Chief Tian Heng, this small gesture is not a respect."
Then he pushed a box over, and there were twenty gold coins in it, which was actually a big deal.
Tian Shisan said with a smile: "Master Lin really thinks of me as a swindler. I really have business to talk to your master, not to blackmail me."
The shopkeeper was stunned, and said, "Is there really a business?"
Tian Shisan said: "There is indeed a business."
The shopkeeper said: "I can't be the master?"
Tian Shisan said: "You can't be the master."
The shopkeeper said: "Those two wait a moment, I'll go and invite the master to come over right now. Dude, serve the two masters some refreshments."
…
Shen Lang and Tian Shisan ate snacks and drank tea, waiting for Lin Mo, the owner of Jinxiu Pavilion, to arrive.
About half an hour later, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes walked in. He was Lin Mo, a rich man in Xuanwu City and the owner of Jinxiu Pavilion.
"You two have big business to talk to me?" Lin Mo asked.
He has no fear of Tian Shisan, and he has a backer behind the business for his sake. Moreover, his son has entered Tiannan Martial Arts Academy, and his grades are very good. He will become a military officer after the martial arts exam, so even if he has no fear of Tian Heng, everyone will do whatever they want.
Shen Lang said: "Yes, big business! It can make Shopkeeper Lin earn at least 5,000 gold coins more every year."
Lin Mo frowned. He disliked this kind of exaggerated young man the most, and he looked unreliable with a pretty face.
"Say." Lin Mo said.
Shen Lang said: "I have a recipe to sell to Boss Lin, two thousand gold coins."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Mo's face immediately changed, and his face turned cold: "Lin's time is precious, there is no time to waste it with respected guests, see off!"
After all, he picked up the tea and was about to drive people away.
Even Tian Shisan was stunned, one thousand gold coins is already absurd, Shen Lang actually asked for two thousand gold coins, this is completely insane, he really regretted bringing Shen Lang to Jinxiu Pavilion.
Lin Mo got up and left without giving Shen Lang the slightest chance.
Tian Shisan gave Shen Lang a cold look, and said in a cold voice, "You're looking for death..."
Seeing that the gold master was about to leave, Shen Lang directly took out a piece of silk from his pocket and put it in front of Lin Mo, "Boss Lin, do you think the color on this piece of silk is worth two thousand gold coins?"
Lin Mo turned around, his eyes fell on the silk in Shen Lang's hand, which was only the size of a handkerchief.
Tian Shisan took a look and felt that Shen Lang had lost his mind and went crazy. How could such a small piece of silk be sold for two thousand gold coins
However, the owner of Jinxiu Pavilion suddenly opened his eyes, showing an expression of disbelief, walked over quickly, picked up the piece of silk and put it in front of his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "This, how is this possible? It's golden yellow, how is this possible?!"
Tian Shisan was startled, and then he noticed that the piece of silk Shen Lang gave was bright golden yellow.
Shen Lang said: "What did the Xu family rely on to prosper? It's because his silk is exclusively for the monarch, and it's because his silk is so yellow."
In ancient China, yellow was exclusive to the royal family, and only the clothes of emperors, empresses, imperial concubines and others were yellow.
It's similar in this world. In the entire Yue Kingdom, only the monarch's family can use yellow silk.
But the yellow color of silk in this world is dyed with gardenia. The yellow is yellow enough, but the color is thin and not bright enough.
The piece of silk that Shen Lang took out was dyed with a brand new formula. The yellow color of the pagoda seed juice mixed with alum is very bright, giving people a golden feeling.
The dragon robes of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were dyed with this kind of dye. You can still see these dragon robes in the Palace Museum. How noble and gorgeous are they
When Shen Lang went to pick herbs yesterday, he picked a lot of Huai Mi by the way. As for alum, which is a traditional Chinese medicine, I still have some left at home.
When he was boiling the traditional Chinese medicine yesterday, he also made half a bowl of this golden fuel, and then tore off the colorless silk underwear on his body and put it in for dyeing.
After the dyeing is finished, let it dry overnight, then bake it with fire for a while, and this piece of golden silk is almost ready.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Mo quickly took out another piece of yellow silk, which he dyed with gardenia.
There is no harm without contrast, the silk yellow on the left is too tacky, too straightforward. The piece of Shen Lang on the right is golden and compelling, and it is a judgment call.
Shen Lang said: "I dyed this piece of silk overnight yesterday, and the effect is actually not satisfactory. If there is enough time and enough materials, I can definitely make a brighter golden yellow color, and the silk threads will start to be dyed, and then weaved into silk. will be better."
Lin Mo was stunned and said, "It's only made in one night, and it has such an effect?"
Shen Lang said: "Yes, so if you get the formula, the dyed silk will only be more golden and luxurious. If you send this golden silk to the weaving mansion of the monarch, what will happen?"
You can imagine with your toes that the monarch's weaving mansion will immediately abandon the Xu family's silk and adopt the Lin family's silk.
At that time, the silk business exclusively for the monarch fell into the hands of the Lin family.
How much money this business makes is a trivial matter, the key is reputation and political resources.
Shen Lang said: "Patriarch Lin, will my business allow your Lin family to earn an extra five thousand gold coins every year?"
Lin Mo shook his head and said, "Not only."
Shen Lang said: "Then, my golden yellow dye formula sells you two thousand gold coins, is it expensive?"
Lin Mo said: "Not expensive, not expensive at all."
Tian Shisan next to him looked at Shen Lang in astonishment.
Obviously, when Shen Lang agreed to buy Tian Heng's life with a thousand gold coins the night before yesterday, he thought of a way to make money, and he was completely confident.
But what he didn't expect was that he would earn two thousand gold coins!
What was even more unexpected was that what he made money would take revenge on the Xu family.
That's right, Shen Lang is so sure of vengeance, not only making money, but also hurting the Xu family.
What kind of loss would it be if the Xu family lost the business of silk exclusively for the monarch? It is completely conceivable!
Why did the Xu family's silk business spread across several provinces but no one sabotaged it? Isn't it because his family's silk is specialized in the weaving house of the monarch
Lin Mo stared obsessively at the golden silk in the sun, as if he couldn't get enough of it. After a long while, he said, "How can I believe that you made this dye? It's entirely possible that you picked it up It's just a piece of silk."
Shen Lang said: "I brought all the materials, give me an hour, I will make this golden dye for you, it is guaranteed to be better than last night."
Lin Mo said, "Really?"
Shen Lang said: "Really."
Lin Mo said: "Okay, I will allocate the entire backyard to you, and you can order anything you want. As long as you make this golden dye on the spot, it will prove that the formula is indeed yours, and the business will be closed."
Shen Lang said: "Two thousand gold coins."
Lin Mo said: "Never bargain."
