"Good fellow, the two of us only have 60,000 silver in small shares. Doesn't it mean that there will be hundreds of thousands or even 200,000 silver left in the public account this year? It's only a few days, and you didn't count the family business wrong?"
Duan Tingxuan still couldn't believe it, but Duan Tingye smiled and said: "Of course I won't make a mistake, the number will only be a lot more by then. Brother, I'd better think about it, after our family has so much money, what should we do next?" What? I don’t think it’s a good deal to save money. I just haven’t figured out what to do for a while. Even if restaurants and cake shops are opened all over the world, it won’t take so much money, not to mention that the money will definitely come back in the future. Come rolling."
Duan Tingxuan could understand the underlying meaning of these words, as long as Su Nuannuan was there, there would be no need to worry about their restaurants and cake shops going out of business. Yin said sternly: "This is indeed a major issue. Let's wait until the Chinese New Year. Then I will have a few days of leisure and the accounts will be clear. The court may have a resolution on some matters. Let's discuss it with my father. By the way. , Now it’s been more than half a year since we sailed, the boats that went out should have come back, right? Have you heard any news?”
Duan Tingye said: "Most of them have returned. I originally wanted to go to Jiangnan to take a look, but because the business in the capital has been inseparable, so I haven't made the trip yet, but I heard that those ships brought back a lot. Sumu, pepper, spices and other goods, as well as expensive goods such as Japanese Japanese knives and Western clocks and watches, I expect these goods will flood into the capital before the Chinese New Year, and the prices of these things will soon drop, and other things will also fall. I haven’t heard anything, why did the eldest brother suddenly care about this matter? Haven’t you always been uninterested in business methods?”
Speaking of the last sentence, there was an involuntary vigilance in his tone, he didn't notice it himself, but Duan Tingxuan noticed it immediately. With a slight smile, he shook his head and said, "I'm asking for my own purpose. Don't worry, it has nothing to do with business. It has to do with the emperor and courtiers. It's not something you can interfere with. You just need to prepare the money. In the future, there may be another question." There is a way to make money waiting for you."
"Brother, do you have any inside information?" Duan Tingye was excited. He quickly stood up and asked, but was glared at by Duan Tingxuan: "I will tell you when I should tell you, and if I don't tell you, don't ask."
"Understood." Duan Tingye's face was a little embarrassing. Just about to leave, Su Nuannuan said with a smile: "Second brother, help me find out, see if anyone has brought back a kind of red pepper called pepper from overseas? If so, you can buy it for me. I I’ll teach you a few more delicious dishes similar to lion’s head.”
"What sister-in-law said is true?" Duan Tingye's eyes lit up, and the most popular dish in the restaurant now is lion head. In fact, it is just a large meatball, but for some reason, it is so delicate and delicious, and the soup is rich, so that it can reach the nobles. Down to the common people, they all love this dish very much. Even now, many officials and eunuchs have greeted the restaurant. It is said that I will buy this dish back home on New Year's Eve, because this dish is not only delicious. The alias Sixi Ball sounds very auspicious.
"Of course it's true." Su Nuannuan stood up, came to the table and drew a sketch of chili peppers, and found bright red rouge to paint the chili peppers red, then handed them to Duan Tingye and said, "Basically, it's like this , the body is fiery red and the stalk is green, I don’t need to explain this specifically? I don’t have any green dye here for a while.”
"I know, the leaves and stalks of flowers and vegetables are not all green? I understand this, and I must ask someone to find out." Duan Tingye carefully put the paper into his arms, and suddenly wondered: "Where did my sister-in-law see it?" This thing? I’ve never heard of it before.”
"Your sister-in-law knows more than this. Have you heard of lion head before? Have you heard of birthday cake? Human talent is sometimes incomparable. Just like this pepper, there may not be anyone in the whole summer." I can recognize it, but who made it something to eat? Your sister-in-law will remember it at a glance."
Duan Tingxuan unreasonably dismissed his younger brother, seeing Duan Tingye nodding, he smiled and said: "It's getting late, why don't you stay here to eat?"
"Oh, no, no, Yurou is waiting for me at home. Eldest brother also knows that your brother and sister have such a temperament that they are jealous at every turn. I'm going back late, and she thought I was here as an excuse to provoke some girl. It's over." Duan Tingye sincerely "revealed his shortcomings", and immediately made the young master's face turn eggplant-colored, without even being polite, he just waved him away.
"Why don't you give it away? You used to pay attention to superficial skills, but now you don't even pay attention to this?" Su Nuannuan was instinctively puzzled, but Duan Tingxuan said angrily: "Send him? If I didn't kick him out, it's considered self-restraint, and you still expect me to send him off?"
"What's the matter? The second master didn't say anything, but the last sentence is a bit strange. Since when is it worth being so proud to be afraid of your wife?" Su Nuannuan smiled: "Isn't this sentence that offended you? ?”
"It's this sentence that offends me." Duan Tingxuan said with a dark face, "Haven't you heard it? That guy is just satirizing me for having so many wives and concubines, so that now I'm in front of you, and you don't want to be jealous of me. It can be seen that they are still angry with me, the two of them, even if they are the same as each other, they are always loving, much better than my bitter haha, that's what he meant."
The little Hou Ye became more and more angry as he spoke, and slapped Duan Tingye's cup of tea, and immediately the unlucky cup fell apart. In his eyes, it was as if his damn brother had been chopped into pieces. Only then did I feel more comfortable.
"You are angry with my brother, why are you angry with my teacup?" Su Nuannuan hurriedly let Cong'er in to clean up, and when Cong'er went out, she murmured: "It's very strange, I feel that the second master is talking to you now, not like before. That sounds uncomfortable."
Duan Tingxuan rolled his eyes: "Why didn't I notice it? Nuan Nuan, are you paranoid? I think this guy is even more hateful than before."
"Don't be reluctant because of that sentence, what about the mind of the son?" Su Nuannuan couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't you think? He talks to you now, and he rarely puts on airs. When he occasionally expresses his emotions, he unexpectedly And a little bit of sincerity.”
"Oh! Is that so?" Duan Tingxuan scratched his chin: "Could it be that this bastard really gave up his thoughts of usurping the position of the son? By mistake, you sent him away with delicious food? Let him put all his thoughts away Put it on the road of making money, ready to run all the way to the end?"
