Chapter 37: Zhao He is simply a good man
News quickly spread in the city that Zhao He was going to treat the whole city to dinner.
A day later, a banquet was held at Zuixian Tower. Zhao He could be so generous because of Jiang Chen. This news also made Zuixian Tower, which had been almost forgotten, once again become the focus of people's attention.
According to the agreement between Jiang Chen and Zhao He, Jiang Chen bought the more than a thousand jars of wine from the Zhao family winery, which he called garbage, at cabbage prices, thus resolving Zhao He's urgent need.
The reason for doing this is because Jiang Chen happens to have a batch of precious medicinal materials transported back from Hutoushan. As long as these medicinal materials are soaked in wine to make medicinal wine, they can be sold at a high price.
"Uncle, is this called a white wolf with empty gloves? Hahahaha!"
Wu Qingshan was so impressed by Jiang Chen's series of operations.
Although it cost a little money to buy the wine from Zhao He, the price could be said to be unimaginably low. In addition, for Zhao He to host a banquet at Zuixianlou, the price Jiang Chen paid inside and outside was almost negligible.
And once those medicinal wines are introduced to the market, they will definitely be sold at prices that are dozens of times higher than the original price. It is more appropriate to say that they are empty-handed.
What's even more satisfying is that although Zhao He must be so angry that his liver hurts, he has no choice but to sell the things to Jiang Chen at a low price, and then watch Jiang Chen resell them and make a fortune.
Gu Jun said at this time: "I really didn't expect that business could still be like this. Zhao He is a shrewd and cunning old fox, but Jiang Chen managed him to be submissive. When I think of that guy's bad face, I
I just want to drink a few more drinks!”
In Jiang Chen's home, a table of people were gathering together for a simple celebration banquet, and more importantly, they were discussing the next plan.
Jiang Chen said: "The top priority is to make the wine brought from the Zhao Family Winery into medicinal wine as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if the wine tastes bad, no one will care if it is made into medicinal wine."
"It's wartime again. Medicinal wine can not only nourish the body, but also treat bruises and injuries. It's the hard currency that everyone wants. It's up to you to worry about Qingshan and Brother Gu."
Wu Qingshan patted his chest and said, "No problem, leave it to me and I'll make sure there's nothing wrong with it."
"What about you?" Gu Jun asked while nodding his head.
Jiang Chen frowned and replied: "I have to find a way to get permission to enter Ziyang City. Once these medicinal wines are prepared, our small town of several hundred people will not be able to digest them."
"Only by going to a big city like Ziyang can we sell all the medicinal wine, and it is easier to sell it at a higher price."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jun and Wu Qingshan gave Jiang Chen a thumbs up.
Jiang Chen has a very clear plan for every step he takes. This is what the two of them particularly admire about him.
It's just that Ziyang guard Di Hong is a timid person. He is currently closing the Ziyang city gate to prevent enemy spies from sneaking into the city. But in fact, Jiang Chen knows that this is just an excuse. The guy's real intention is to
Keep so many homeless people out of the city.
Unless there is an official letter as a guarantee, even if you arrive outside Ziyang City, you can only look at the ocean and sigh.
From this, Jiang Chen thought of the county magistrate. If he could get the local official to write a letter of introduction in his own hand, showing that he was just a serious businessman, I believe he would be allowed to enter the city.
Time passed by the next night, and Zuixian Tower, which had not been open for business for a long time, suddenly became brightly lit and filled with guests, all thanks to Zhao He's generosity.
When many people received the news, they suspected that it was not a prank. After all, although the wealthy Zhao He was rich, he had never been so charitable.
But when they were politely invited to Zuixian Tower, they immediately praised Zhao He's good deeds, and they almost praised him as a moral model with kind eyebrows, kind eyes and a bodhisattva heart.
Zhao He also accepted all these compliments with a smile.
Wu Qingshan muttered in a low voice: "I'm taking advantage of my grandson. It was obviously my uncle who bought us this delicious meal, but Zhao He took all his good reputation away!"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said: "He has already paid for it, so let him find some psychological comfort."
Today Jiang Chen's target was the county magistrate. After everyone had a lively and drunken tour, he sat directly over with his purpose.
After some flattery, the county magistrate was drunk and confused. No matter what Jiang Chen said, he always nodded and bowed. I don’t know how he did it. He completely threw away the dignity that the county magistrate usually had.
behind the head.
When Jiang Chen toasted again, the county magistrate wanted to kneel down and thank him on the spot. Tang Yong looked on with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Brother Jiang, don't be surprised. Our county magistrate looks like this when he is drunk. He completely forgets that he is the county magistrate. He thinks that he is still the poor scholar who studied hard and failed in many exams."
"That's why he kowtows to anyone he sees and can't stop him."
The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth twitched twice and he said, "That's really an unexpected habit."
At the same time, when he saw that the county magistrate was drunk like this, he thought to himself that he should quickly ask him to write a letter of introduction and stamp it with the official seal of the county magistrate, so that he could go to Ziyang City for a visit.
Don't forget that the county magistrate fell to the ground unconscious before the matter was brought up. That would definitely not work.
No matter what, Jiang Chen finally managed to get the county magistrate to write this letter of introduction. Although the words looked more like forgeries, fortunately the large seal of the county magistrate's office was genuine.
While people are drinking and laughing here, there is another place in the city that is extremely quiet.
At this time, in the Lin family mansion, Lin Yuanzhou and Lin Lidong were staying in their respective rooms, wondering what happened in Zuixian Tower today.
The two cousins were jealous of the pretty widow recently, and they were fighting fiercely. But when they turned around, they suddenly realized that Zhao He, who was originally on the same side as them, now actually went to fight with Jiang Chen.
Lin Qingxuan is colluding?
What's even more outrageous is that every household in the city received invitations, but they were the only two who were relegated to the sidelines, and no one paid any attention to their existence.
Regardless of their reputation and status in Shangguan Town, as wealthy children of the Lin family, they should be invited, but Zhao He actually treated them as nothing.
"Humph, what the hell is Zhao He doing? He hasn't looked at Zuixian Tower for a while, and yet he does this to me! Does he think that I, Lin Yuanzhou, is easy to bully?"
