Seeing Cai Jingfang shaking his head, Ling Qingyu sighed and said, "Well, I'll ask Shi Fang to come over and show you. You rest first, and I'll go and see how the yard has been renovated by you."
Slowly walking towards the courtyard where I first set my eyes on He and lived, the scenery along the way is very beautiful, the doors and windows of the house are all brand new and exquisitely carved, it can be seen that Cai Jingfang has put a lot of thought into it, the current courtyard is really prosperous Great scenery, rich and noble.
The servants serving on both sides also performed their duties in a well-mannered manner. There was no awkwardness, nervousness or rudeness when they first met. Be careful where you step, master, do you want to take a rest.
Ling Qingyu was still wearing the long skirt of the commoner on the boat, but she walked delicately in this garden full of flowers as if she was a rich girl.
Pfft, Ling Qingyu laughed to himself, let those servants back down, let Cang Zhu go to the boat to call Shi Fang down to see Cai Jingfang, and he only brought Zi Su and Su Hexiang to his yard.
Sure enough, people who were not trained by themselves are not used to it.
Sitting in a familiar room, the furnishings in the room remained unchanged, exactly the same as when she left. It seemed that Cai Jingfang really put his mind to it, and the anger in Ling Qingyu's heart subsided again unconsciously.
Zisu asked the servants where the kitchen was, and made a pot of tea, while Su Hexiang searched the entire yard before returning to Ling Qingyu to obey orders.
After the tea passed through the second course of water, Yan San came back, and not long after, Tang Tiansheng, Zhou Hao, the directors of the weaving workshop, and the young ephedra, kudzu, argyi, clove, and myrrh who studied with Cai Jingfang also came.
After everyone saluted respectfully, they each started to report on their work, saying that there was no mistake with Cai Jingfang.
Ling Qingyu took what they said and looked at the account book. Seeing that there was nothing tricky, every account was very clear, and there was no discrepancy between the price and quantity, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Everyone hurriedly said that it wasn't hard work, and the teenagers didn't dare to sit down, but stood aside.
Ling Qingyu took the account book and put it on the table, and said to Su Hexiang: "Su Hexiang, you and they go to check the warehouse, and then look at the location of the warehouse, and prepare to unload the goods when shopkeeper Cai is better."
Su Hexiang responded and looked at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper hurriedly got up and said yes, and left with Su Hexiang.
"Mr. Tang, is there any news about Han Bian recently?" Ling Qingyu asked casually after taking a sip of tea.
"Brother Han is in Huainan, where he has acquired a lot of land, but recently, there have been heavy rains, and he is afraid of flooding, so Brother Han has been there all the time." Tang Tiansheng replied respectfully, feeling a little bit in his heart. Uneasy, the head of the family never spoke so distantly and politely before. For him, the head of the family rescued him in distress without any underestimation, but instead entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. He cherished this kind of trust too much. On the way here, the servant who called them had already told about the troubles of Cai Jingfang's family. Tang Tiansheng actually felt that it was very inappropriate for the servant to remind him in a flattering manner. It is definitely a good hand to manage the shop and do business, but the people in the house are not well managed.
"The head of the family." Cang Zhu rushed in from outside and saluted Ling Qingyu: "Someone from the Xiao family came up and said that he hoped to negotiate a deal with the head of the house."
"So fast?" Ling Qingyu was surprised. The Fengshen arrived only in the morning, and it's not yet noon, so it's too fast.
Cang Zhu smiled bitterly and said: "Doctor Shi got off the boat to go shopping, the boat stopped at the pier, and the treasurer of the Xiao family saw our boat at the pier."
"Where's Shopkeeper Xiao?" Ling Qingyu stood up and said, this is fate, probably that old fox Xiao Rong, who only saw the boat once, he also remembered it.
"Wait in the main hall of the front yard. He insists on bringing the younger one with him. I'm afraid the younger one will cause trouble..." Cang Zhu was a little panicked, and glanced at Ling Qingyu.
"I don't blame you. If you can fight that old fox, you will be a ghost. Let's go, I'll touch him." Ling Qingyu walked out, and at the same time said to the people in the room: "Mr. Shopkeeper Cai, then we will arrange the follow-up matters in the afternoon, Zisu, you and shopkeeper Cai will discuss the quantity of goods needed in the shop."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"By the way, where did Shi Fang go shopping? Get it back as soon as possible, Xiaocai is still waiting here."
"Yes, Brother Ding has asked someone to look for it."
Xiao Rong twirled his beard with his hands, looked at the decorations in the main hall, and nodded secretly. It seems that this Ling Qingyu has a good subordinate with good taste, and he has put his mind to it, expensive but not vulgar, not bad.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xiao Rong turned his head and said with a very kind smile, "Master Ling, long time no see!"
Ling Qingyu, who had just walked into the room, paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Xiao is too, long time no see, I entered the room with the front foot, and you followed with the back foot, I really admire it."
"Hehe," Xiao Rong said with a smile: "This shows that we are destined. To be honest, I just arrived in Hangzhou not long ago."
Ling Qingyu sat on the main seat, made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Rong, and then naturally a servant served tea beside him.
After Xiao Rong sat down, he said with a smile: "Xiao knows that the master is busy, so he doesn't bother me too much. I just want to ask, can the master Ling bring back those goods this time, can he cooperate with our Xiao family?"
"Hehe, I brought back a lot this time, but I think what you want most is spices, right? Agarwood, sandalwood, frankincense, pepper, those, how much do you want? How much do you want?" Ling Qingyu said directly. I have already dealt with Xiao Rong twice. According to the modern saying, the logistics system of the Xiao family is very developed, which is equivalent to a general wholesaler with strong funds and many stores below. It is really a good buyer for large-scale dumping. Except that Xiao Rong is too foxy, and that little brat deserves a beating.
Xiao Rong was slightly startled. With this kind of statement, then the Fengshen brought back more things than last year. It's a pity that the Xiao family's current situation is not good, and they can't make too much of a move. If they can't swallow them all, the business will be booming this time.
"I didn't bring much money this time, only 500,000 taels. I want some spices and peppers. The price is easy to say. How about adding 10% to our last transaction price?" Xiao Rong smiled. The price of spices in the market has risen again, but if Ling Qingyu brings more goods this time, it will definitely have an impact on the market, and it is not wrong to give this purchase price.
Ling Qingyu thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes. You can make a list and pick up the goods in the afternoon."
Xiao Rong raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when Ling Qingyu smiled and said, "But I have to trouble Shopkeeper Xiao to help me introduce some customers. This time I brought not only spices, but also..." He took out a piece of paper from his cuff , Ling Qingyu read: "...Ivory, rhinoceros horn, ambergris, real pearl, colored glaze, frankincense, coral, woody fragrance, myrrh, dried blood, ferulicum, sorrel oil, no stones, rose water, fine colored glaze from crushed flowers, Soft glass, golden silk brocade, five-color camel hair section, nameless difference, mosuo stone, crocodile silk, inter-gold silk brocade, fire raccoon cloth, benzoin, giant clam, coral tree, cat ear essence, yellow wax, woven gold soft Brocade, yellow sandalwood, tortoise shell, golden face incense, beads, and more, there are too many, you can see for yourself."
Xiao Rong took the list and her eyes jumped. With so many types, her ship definitely went straight to the Red Sea! Although there is no quantity or quality marked on it, it is quite impressive. Take gold silk cotton, now the market is only a hundred taels of silver, and the best colored glaze can also be sold for hundreds of taels of silver, and the supply is in short supply.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Rong said: "Boss Ling, you have helped our master, I heard from the old man, these items will be sold separately, don't worry, it's too eye-catching."
"What shopkeeper Xiao said is that I just want to sell a large amount of spices, condiments, and medicinal materials this time. I'm not in a hurry for those treasures." Ling Qingyu laughed. To get Xiao Rong's words, she appreciates his affection.
"So, I can introduce a few colleagues to you. If Master Ling's family is free, can we have a gathering at Zuixian Tower tonight." Xiao Rong returned the list to Ling Qingyu and said.
"Thank you so much Shopkeeper Xiao."
"The old man will take his leave first, and we will see you tonight." Xiao Rong bowed his hands and left in a hurry.
"Do you have food? I'm starving to death." After Xiao Rong left, Ling Qingyu put on a serious look, stretched himself, and asked Yan San.
"Go back to eat in your yard, or eat here?" Yan San asked.
"Let's eat here. With Cai Jingfang's appearance, we can't let him take care of things. I'm afraid there will be too many things today." Ling Qingyu rubbed his waist and said. Although Yang Zhao finally calmed down last night, his body was still in pain.
The servants placed the food in the side hall, Ling Qingyu went over to take a look, okay, there is a big table full.
"Back off and close the door for me."
After the people left, Ling Qingyu immediately sat on the chair, picked up the rice bowl and ate, took two bites, and asked Yan San who was still standing behind him: "Are you hungry?"
"There must be rules." Yan San said indifferently, and glanced out of the window.
"You didn't see that I closed the door, you go and close the window." Ling Qingyu pointed to the window.
Yan San shook his head, walked over to close the window, then sat next to Ling Qingyu, and said, "Slow down, be careful not to choke you to death."
"I don't know what's going on, but I've been feeling hungry lately." Ling Qingyu swallowed the food and went to pick up vegetables again. Not only did he feel hungry, but his sexual desire became stronger and stronger, and his body was so weak that he couldn't move. still want.
There are three days until July 14th, and I don't know if Yang Zhao will leave by then. Yan San ordered the plate and said, "Hey, lady, order."
In the afternoon, both Su Hexiang and Zisu brought people to report the progress. Tang Tiansheng also came to the main hall to listen to the instructions, and Ling Qingyu asked Zisu to take someone to contact Ding Dong first, and unload the things he wanted from his shop and put them in the warehouse. After reading Su Hexiang's list, he asked him to take someone to clean up the warehouse and prepare to unload the bulk cargo of spices.
