Chapter 296 What does the stingy young master mean?
Mu Yan raised a nice smile on his lips, then lowered it again.
His expression was indifferent: "If you put the fine sandalwood inlaid with diamonds and put it in your shop, it will be a waste."
Huo Xi glared: "Sell it in my shop, and I will only give you 20% at the end of the year. If I sell it to you, I will give you 30%!" If she can't sell it at a high price, she will suffer a loss.
"I will never let you suffer."
After hearing this, Huo Xi looked at him. This stingy young man was born in a Hou family and had no worries about food and drink. Now he has a job before he graduated from the Imperial College, but he opened a shop mysteriously. Is he short of money?
But last time, he entrusted her with the deed of the Zhuangzi land in Jiangjun Mountain, and said that if something happened to him, Zhuangzi would be hers.
It sounds like I can't help myself.
But he also wants to open a shop, earn so much money, and make wedding clothes for others in the future? Why can't he understand his behavior?
Mu Yan knew that the other party was sizing him up, and without moving his mind, he picked up the teacup, took a sip gracefully, and looked towards the lake.
Kan Er next to him said: "Two days ago, we sent a lot of luminous shells to your shop. Snail shells are easy to collect, but luminous shells are not easy to find. We sent you two carts."
Huo Xizhi had just returned to Beijing, so she really didn't know about this. She was sorting in the shop today, and shopkeeper Shen was so busy that he didn't have time to tell her about it.
"Thank you very much. Okay, I'll send it to you when the box is made."
Mu Yan was satisfied, glanced at her, gestured to Li Yi behind him, took a box and handed it to her: "There are 10,000 taels of silver here. The value of your goods this time is estimated to be no less than 10,000 taels. Let me get you some first."
, we will settle the payment after it is sold out.”
Huo Xi took it over unceremoniously. This time she wanted to find one or two dealers, but she just didn't have enough money.
Mu Yan saw her look like she was jealous of money, and felt a little disgusted, but with a smile on her face, she said: "Ping Niang handed over the news, saying that Wu Youcai is still thinking of exchanging things with someone else."
"Ah? Then I have to think about it carefully."
If you want to knock down the Wu family behind the Wu family, Wu Youcai's place is a breakthrough.
Wu is worthless, maybe Wang can take care of her herself without Huo Xi having to do anything.
He pondered for a while: "I won't give you the ambergris and the box of black pearls."
Mu Yan was reaching for the tea cup. He paused and looked at her calmly: "He's not worthy yet."
"But I have to keep some good things to exchange with him." In addition to exchanging things, I also have to use him as leverage.
Mu Yan tapped his fingers on the low table and asked for a long time, "How much ambergris did you buy?"
"Eighteen pounds."
"I will leave you eight kilograms. Things are rare and valuable, and the rarer they are, the more valuable they are. I will also keep these ten kilograms and sell them slowly. I will also keep half of the black pearls for you."
Huo Xi gritted her teeth, then she wouldn't have anything good in her hands.
I took a look at Mu Yan and saw that he was unmoved, so I had to agree and find another way.
Seeing her leaving with the banknote, Mu Yan followed her with his eyes. He wanted to ask her about her birthday gift just now, but after opening his mouth several times, he finally didn't ask.
"Master, Qian San said that she went to the blacksmith shop with blueprints this morning to order something. Maybe she was preparing a birthday gift for the young master. Do you want Qian San to come and check it out?"
As soon as Li Yi opened his mouth, Mu Yan stopped him. He was looking forward to it and wanted to keep this expectation.
When Huo Xi returned home, Huo Nian came to her side: "Sister, Fang Qi and the others like my toys! They even asked me where I bought them, and they wanted to buy them too."
"We sell them in our shop. You can let them buy them in our shop. But you can't say that it is our shop."
Huo Nian nodded: "I know. I won't tell." He pulled Huo Xi to play with blocks with him.
I thought that Pi Xiaozi was impatient, but unexpectedly, this kid was very patient and smart. Huo Xi hit the dangerous wood several times and the building collapsed.
It made Pi Xiaozi laugh.
They also played a game with prizes and penalties with him. The two siblings would jump frog and leap frog in the yard, which made Grandma Zou and grandma very happy.
Huo Xi refused to play after two games: "You play with my little girl."
The little girl didn't know whether it was luck or something, but she always got prize petals. Huo Nian was all punished, either jumping frogs, spinning in circles, or singing and dancing, which made the little girl very happy.
Huo Xi watched them play for a while, then went to see Lou Qingyao making mother-of-pearl and helped grind the shells for a while.
I continued to draw pictures at night.
Based on the Fan utensils she saw and their patterns, she drew some utensil shapes and decorations that fit the Fan people's aesthetic habits, and then fired them using the porcelain firing techniques of the Wei Dynasty.
After two days of drawing, he took a thick stack of drawings and put them in a sandalwood mother-of-pearl box, and asked Yang Fu to bring them to Wen Xingning.
In the evening, Yang Fu came back and said that Wen Xingning liked the sandalwood mother-of-pearl box very much. He also said that his father had read the drawings and said that it would cost two thousand taels to bake their ship of porcelain, so he only charged them one thousand taels, and they would order it in the future.
They only needed materials and labor, but they bought the blueprints.
Huo Xi thought for a while and agreed.
Unless she can make porcelain herself, the drawings will always leak out. If the drawings cannot flow out, the utensils will leak out and be seen by others. There is no way to do this exclusive business.
The other party could see Huo Xi's intention, and he also followed the business. He did it openly and not covertly, and promised to collect less money. Huo Xi had already taken a big advantage.
As soon as Yang Fu heard her answer, he went out without eating.
After Huo Xi finished this matter, she was going to take the money to the Yaren's Office to see if there was any Zhuangzi to buy it from.
As soon as I got up early the next morning, I heard her mother squatting in the corner vomiting acidic water.
Grandma Zou was patting her on the back: "Did you eat something bad yesterday? Why have you vomited all morning? But it doesn't look like she has vomited anything. It's better to go to the hospital quickly. Don't have a minor illness.
It turns into a serious illness."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xi hurriedly went over to ask about the situation.
Pi Xiaozi had just been woken up by his uncle. When he saw her, he didn't bother to wash up. He ran over and hugged his mother's arm: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?" His face was full of worry.
Yang endured the sour water in her stomach and stroked his little face with a smile: "Mom is fine, she must have eaten something bad. You go and wash up quickly. Mom will send you to the school in a while. It's late. It's too late."
"
"Mom, ask your uncle to send Nian'er to the school. Grandma Zou and I will accompany you to the hospital." Huo Xi said.
"No, no, no, it's just a bad stomach, so there's no need to go to the hospital." Yang said and stood up, gesturing to everyone and taking two steps, which felt like another turmoil in her stomach.
He squatted down holding the wall and vomited for a long time.
Huo Nian was so frightened that he almost dropped the golden beans. He pulled her and said, "Mom, let's go see the doctor. Mom, Nian'er will accompany you to see the doctor."
Yang coaxed him: "Okay, Mom is going to see the doctor. Let your sister and grandma accompany Mom. Your uncle will send you to the school. Be good and obedient."
Huo Nian then let his uncle lead him to wash up and have breakfast, then turned back to the book school in three steps.
Although Yang refused to go, she was eventually dragged to the medical center by Huo Xi and Zou Grandma.
