Chapter 172 Roast whole lamb at noon, what family conditions?
After Lu Bin left, when Zhao Cheng and others went down to join the generals, Cai pulled Zhao Cheng aside.
"Xiao Xiangye, can we have a few words alone?"
Zhao Cheng winked at Zhao Wu and motioned for him to take Xia Qi Qiu Shu out first.
Seeing that there was no one around him, Cai Yiyi clasped his fists in front of Zhao Cheng, bent down and bowed at a 90-degree angle!
"Brother Cai, what are you doing?"
"Xiao Xiangye, please give me a hand, brother!"
"Brother Cai is out of touch when he says this. I didn't earn the money for tea today by myself. It's all thanks to you for introducing Lu Bin to me."
Zhao Cheng patted Cai Yiyi's arm and said, "You won't be short of tea money, we'll get half of it each."
"That's not what I'm talking about!"
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"Please take me with you to do the album business!"
Zhao Cheng smiled slightly, thinking that Cai Yiyi had indeed guessed it and did not disappoint him.
Originally, after Lu Bin was discovered by him, Cai didn't bother to chat with Lu Bin all the way, but Zhao Cheng continued to act, and later even showed a sample of the second volume of "嘤嘤嘤", which was actually unnecessary.
Zhao Cheng did this to test whether Cai Yiyi could guess anything.
"I don't understand." Zhao Cheng continued to act stupid.
"Xiao Xiangye! My Brother Zhao! Stop teasing me!!"
Cai Yiyi said in an affirmative tone: "Lu Bin is right in what he said. No matter how strong his relationship in Yanchuan is, he can't get a sample of the unreleased album. This kind of thing is a secret!"
"Look at the picture album you just took out. The quality of the pictures, the colors, and the workmanship. In my opinion, it's just a sample. It's probably a hand-painted book!"
"The hand-painted book is the real secret! Even if you carry this kind of thing with you, the business of this picture book is yours!"
Zhao Cheng did not refute, just remained silent.
Cai Yiyi understood that this was acquiescence, and immediately said: "If the young prime minister is willing, I will no longer be a middleman, but cooperate with you. As long as you give me enough volume, I can open up the world with Kangye as the center."
The whole Nanzhou Market!”
"When the time comes, we can use the sales of the next volume to feed the first volume, and we can continue to print the first volume, and push the price and sales volume of the first volume to a higher level!"
"If you calculate it carefully, this picture album can earn us both a lot of money!!"
"Are you so sure?" Zhao Cheng knew what Cai Yiyi meant. In the words of his previous life, he became Zhao Cheng's general agent in Southern Zhou.
"No matter what I say now, it's just a verbal guarantee. Just wait for two days and you will know where I get my confidence." Cai Yiyi also gave up and said: "The candidate to open up the Southern Zhou market is none other than me.
!”
If Cai Yiyi is really that capable, Zhao Cheng would be happy to have him.
The soap and toilet water business was handed over to Wu Sisi and Xiao Luomu. Wu Sisi was in charge of the production center, and Xiao Luomu was in charge of the market in Jingdong Thirteen Cities. They had already done a very good job in this business. The next strategy was to attack Changsui.
Then it spreads out to cover the entire Jingguo.
Zhao Cheng feels that this model is also fully applicable to the sales of picture albums.
As long as Cai Yiyi has the ability, Dong Hua will be responsible for the domestic market and let Cai Yiyi open up the Southern Zhou market. After the market is successfully opened, the serial novels will also be introduced to Southern Zhou.
After all, serialized novels had a greater market in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, a country of elegance, compared to what the people of the Southern Zhou Dynasty regarded as a "reckless" country.
"Okay, let's talk again in a few days." Zhao Cheng was not in a hurry. Since Cai Yiyi wanted to show off, he would take advantage of the situation and investigate for a few more days.
This kind of strategic matter cannot be rushed.
At night, Zhao Cheng and his entourage followed Pu Jian back to General Jianzhong's Mansion. However, after Xia Qi Qiu Shu and the soldiers were settled, Zhao Cheng was dragged out to drink by Bi Fansheng, Song Cheng and others.
According to them, Zhao Huan is a handsome man and a prime minister, and he is usually very restrained. They have not had a wild drink with Zhao Huan for many years. Now that Zhao Cheng has grown up, they will drink Zhao Cheng in front of Zhao Huan.
Huan's wine debt will be repaid by Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng just gave me a thumbs up, a father's debt is repaid by his son!!!
So I was drunk until the morning of the next day.
After waking up in a daze, Zhao Cheng walked around the room, and the more he looked, the more he felt that something was not right.
The furniture and furnishings in this room don't look like a guest room, but like Pu Jian's master room.
He went to find Zhao Wu and Xia Qiqiu Shu, and learned that the two sisters shared a room, Zhao Wu and a soldier shared a room, and the rest shared a room with three persons.
After a while, the meal was served. Looking at the table full of fish and meat, Zhao Cheng, who had just gotten drunk, really lost his appetite. When he was about to leave after drinking a bowl of soup, Pu Jian came in with two chefs in a hurry.
Already.
Seeing Pu Jian's face covered with black smoke, Zhao Cheng smiled and said: "Uncle Pu, what are you doing? If you don't know, you would think you are setting the fire yourself to cook!"
"Hahaha, no, I just went to the kitchen to urge them to serve food!"
"Is there any more food?"
When he first came in, Pu Jian blocked Zhao Cheng's view. After he stepped aside, Zhao Cheng saw that the two people who followed Pu Jian in were carrying a basket, which actually contained roasted whole lamb!
"I'm going..." Zhao Cheng felt his stomach turning, and said in surprise: "You have to eat roasted whole lamb at noon? Uncle Park, what are your family conditions like?!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Sit down and eat quickly. Do you want a drink?"
Zhao Cheng shook his head like a rattle and said, "I won't drink anymore, I really won't drink anymore!"
Not only can't I drink, I can't eat either.
Zhao Cheng didn't move, and everyone else didn't move. When Pu Jian saw this, he said sternly: "When you come to my house, you have to listen to me. Don't worry about this kid, you go ahead and eat!"
Then he pointed at the soldiers and shouted: "How many of you have been my soldiers, and you have completely forgotten it?"
"Began to eat!"
"Yes, General!!"
The soldiers of the government immediately moved into action, and Xia Qi Qiu Shu was not to be outdone. One sheep was snatched away in an instant.
Zhao Cheng noticed that Pu Jian swallowed subconsciously.
"It's a joke, it's a joke..." Zhao Cheng explained: "Uncle Park, don't look at them like this. I usually treat them pretty well. If I don't starve them, they are just greedy..."
It was the same at dinner, it was still big fish and meat, but there was no roasted whole lamb. Originally, Bi Fansheng and Song Cheng were the guests tonight, but Pu Jian refused, saying that he had to eat at home the first day. Bi Fansheng and Song Cheng had some requests.
Pu Jian's offer to have a drink was rejected by Pu Jian, who told Zhao Cheng to have a good rest for the day.
Zhao Cheng was very grateful to Pu Jian, but looking at the table full of meat and fish, he could still only drink the clear soup.
At this moment, he admired those people who could eat and drink from the sea every day.
Those people really enjoy life!
Zhao Cheng asked the soldiers to eat the food thoroughly and not to waste it, so as not to disappoint the master's wishes. He went for a walk in the courtyard of the mansion early.
Just after he took a few steps out, he saw a little boy sneaking up on the rocks and watching him.
It was only evening at this time, the sky was filled with sunset, and it was not yet dark.
After the little boy noticed Zhao Cheng's gaze, he turned around and ran away.
"Stop little guy!"
The little boy was so frightened that he actually stopped.
Zhao Cheng walked over and saw that the child was probably only three or four years old. Afraid of scaring him, he knelt down and said softly: "Little brother, what are you looking at?"
The little boy turned around slowly, his lips trembled, looking aggrieved, and said in a milky voice: "Sheep...little sheep..."
