Zhang Bing and others looked at the bottles of perfume in the brocade box. In fact, they were all curious about what Fang Xiong was holding just now, but they didn't ask. Now that they saw the objects inside, their eyes lit up.
One of the clan elders came forward, wrinkled his nose, and asked, "Hua Dew?"
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "Grandpa Yan has great eyesight!"
The elder of that clan is named Zhang Yan, who is in charge of the family's grocery business, including a rouge and gouache shop. They are no strangers to perfume, but they have never seen such a pure perfume.
Zhang Yan said: "It's not that I have good eyesight, it's just that I have a good nose. You also made this flower dew yourself? How can it be so clear?" He reached for a bottle, opened the bottle cap, and took a slight sniff. "The fragrance is elegant and elegant."
, it doesn’t have the pungent feeling of ordinary flower dew when you smell it up close, it’s a good thing!” Zhang Yan praised.
Zhang Suidao: "If I give this flower dew to the family, what can the family give me?"
Several clan elders looked at each other, and Zhang Yan sighed: "The stuff is good, but it would be a bit inappropriate for our Zhang family to sell it."
Zhang Sui asked curiously: "Why is this?"
Zhang Bing explained beside him: "Although our Zhang family also has a rouge and gouache shop, this is not our main business and has no influence. Now the best rouge and gouache in the southwest is controlled by the Huang family. If we rush into this business, then
We just broke the rules. I heard that Huang Min, the patriarch of the Huang family, has now expanded the Huang family's business to Tianjing City, and it is said that he has a relationship with a certain prince. If we develop rashly, we may have endless troubles."
Zhang Sui suddenly realized that he had also heard Dong Zhi mention it, but he didn't expect that much. Seeing that his family was so direct and generous to his secret tofu recipe, he thought he would sell the secret recipe of perfume to the family directly, and then went to the Huang family's antique store to check it out.
It depends on the situation. Now it seems that he still wants to keep things simple.
Zhang Sui thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, I can contact the person in charge of the Huang family's Kunzhou Prefecture, and the family will send a mature and prudent elder to go with me to discuss cooperation with the Huang family."
Zhang Yan asked: "You own the secret recipe. You can go directly to the Huang family to discuss cooperation. Why do you need the family to participate?"
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "Although the secret recipe is mine, I also said that I am a member of the Zhang family, and I will try my best to take care of it if it can benefit the family. I also have my own needs when it comes to cooperating with the Huang family.
I need to meet the person in charge of the Huang family so that I can discuss it. I can give the family the method of making flower dew, just like the method of making tofu, just give me money. As for the family's method of making flower dew, how can the Huang family
Cooperation, after I finish negotiating the terms with the Huang family, it will be decided by the family itself, and I will not interfere."
After hearing what Zhang Sui said, several clan elders looked surprised. Only Zhang Bing seemed to have expected it.
Zhang Bing sighed: "I went to Zhang Sui's house a few days ago, and he had the same attitude when he wanted to teach the family how to make tofu. He thinks of the family in everything, and he can set an example for the children of the family!"
Several other clan elders nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Bing added: "In this case, the family will not treat you badly. I will make the decision and buy your secret recipe for 20,000 taels. After all, the profit generated by the method of making floral dew is not comparable to that of tofu. Several clan members
What do you think?"
Several clan elders discussed it and felt that there was a lot of room for maneuver. Zhang Yan said: "We also agree with the price. How about I accompany Zhang Sui to meet with the person in charge of the Huang family to discuss this cooperation?"
thing."
Zhang Bing nodded and said: "Yes. But brother Sui, the family can't give you the 20,000 taels of silver directly. After all, the amount is too big, and the family business has a lot of business and needs to be turned around. It's better to give you part first, and then give another part every month."
, will be given in installments.”
Zhang Sui smiled and said, "Of course. Doesn't the family own a lot of land in Junshan? Why not use part of the land to offset the money given to me."
Zhang Bingqi asked: "What do you want the land for?"
Zhang Suidao said: "These days, I am very interested in some exotic plants. I am entrusting Mr. Zhou Su, who is in charge of agronomy in Ethnology, and Mr. Bi Mo, the farm manager, to help purchase some land to study a plant that I am very optimistic about.
.”
Zhang Bing said with a smile: "You kid, you didn't study well when I asked you to study. First you tinkered with the ingredients, then you tinkered with flower dew, and now you are interested in agriculture again. I want to see what you can do for us in agriculture."
What kind of surprise can you create?"
Zhang Sui also smiled and said: "Then please wait and see, clan elders!"
Zhang Bingdao: "In this case, I will tell the steward in charge of managing the fields in the clan and let him allocate it to you for any piece of land you like to use to offset the money spent on flower dew."
Zhang Sui thanked him repeatedly. Zhang Bingdao said: "You don't have to thank me. It's the family that should thank you. You yourself should also know the value of these secret recipes of yours. It's definitely more than just tens of thousands of taels of silver. But you can take care of the family and us old people."
Bones is still very pleased. After all, the Zhang family will still rely on you in the future. When you go back, ask Bi Mo to find Zhang Dong, and I will say hello to him."
Zhang Sui nodded in agreement.
Zhang Sui saw that everything had been explained clearly, so he stood up and prepared to leave. Zhang Bing ordered someone to get a 10,000-tael banknote and handed it to Zhang Sui. Zhang Sui took it, took a look at it, and handed it to Fang Xiong, asking him to collect it.
good.
Zhang Sui turned to Zhang Yan, the elder of the clan, and said, "Grandpa Yan, after I go back today, I will have someone contact the person in charge of the Huang family. We will visit tomorrow and settle the matter as soon as possible."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Okay. I'll wait for you at the house tomorrow."
Zhang Sui bowed to all the clan elders, turned around and took Fang Xiong away from the clan elders' mansion and returned to his residence.
By the time they returned to their residence, Zhou Su and Bi Mo had already ordered their helpers to plant the jujube trees in the inner courtyard, and were explaining to Lao Lu how to take care of the jujube trees. Lao Lu was confused by what he heard. When he saw Zhang Sui coming back, he felt as if he had been granted amnesty and hurriedly
He ran over to Zhang Sui and said: "Second Master, the jujube tree you want is too laborious to take care of. The two gentlemen have handed over a lot of things, and I, a rough man, can't remember them. Why don't you find someone to take care of them?"
.”
Zhou Su and the two couldn't help but smile bitterly when they saw Lao Lu like this. They had spent a long time explaining their feelings just now, but it was all in vain.
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "It's okay. I thought this jujube tree shouldn't be that fragile. The other trees in the house haven't been taken care of, so they're still living well, aren't they?"
Seeing that Zhang Sui was in the same situation, Zhou Su couldn't say much, but Bi Mo couldn't help but said: "Second Young Master, you still need to be more careful. Generally, if a jujube tree loses its leaves in late autumn, it won't be a big problem when transplanted. But this jujube tree didn't lose its leaves."
, when transplanting during this season, you need to pay attention to keeping it warm and moisturized, and you can't be careless. If there are no abnormalities within seven days, then it's not a big problem. If there are any abnormalities, the second master must send someone to find me, and I will handle it."
Zhang Sui thanked him: "Thank you for your trouble. If there is any problem, I will go to Manager Bi to help."
He turned around and asked Fang Xiong to take out two thousand taels of silver notes and handed them directly to Zhou Su, saying: "The money is ready. Use the two thousand taels first. Mr. Zhou needs to worry more." Then he said to Bi Mo: "The family has already prepared the two thousand taels."
I have promised to deduct part of the land to me. I just need to communicate with Manager Bi and the clan manager Zhang Dong. We have already said hello."
Zhou Su and Bi Mo were very happy to see Zhang Sui's neat and tidy work, and repeatedly expressed that they would get things ready as soon as possible so as not to miss Zhang Sui's plan.
Originally, Zhang Sui wanted to keep the two of them in the mansion for dinner, but when they saw that everything was done and the money was in place, they didn't want to stay for a moment, so they said goodbye to Zhang Sui directly and left with the group of helpers.
Zhang Sui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them leaving. Several things in the plan were successfully resolved: the jujube trees were obtained, the money was obtained, and the planting of shimmering grass was also planned. The next step is to cooperate with the Huang family. See
See if you can collect objects with the power of doom through their antique shop.
Thinking of this, Zhang Sui said to Lao Lu: "Go to Dong Zhi and ask him to help introduce the second son of the Huang family. See if you can visit him tomorrow and tell them that the Zhang family has an important cooperation with them."
That’s it.”
Lao Lu nodded in agreement, turned around and went out to look for Dong Zhi.
Zhang then called Fang Xiong, returned to the inner courtyard, gave Fang Xiong a jujube that Bi Mo had brought, and said, "Eat it, and then try the breathing exercise."
When Fang Xiong heard this, he ate the jujube in two mouthfuls without hesitation. Then he started practicing in the courtyard. Zhang Sui felt it with his heart. When Fang Xiong finished the first exercise, Zhang Sui could already feel Fang Xiong's movements.
There is some spiritual energy in his body.
Fang Xiong stopped and looked a little confused. He scratched his head and wondered what he was thinking. Zhang Sui asked, "Do you feel anything?"
Fang Xiong said: "It's very comfortable. My strength seems to have improved a little. Although it's not very big, I can feel it. My strength has not increased for some days. Is it the credit of this jujube?"
Fang Xiong was very curious about the jujube, and Zhang Sui smiled and said, "It should be so. I wonder how far this jujube can improve you?"
Fang Xiong shook his head and said: "I think my power is enough now, and it doesn't mean much to increase it. And I feel that the improvement that this kind of jujube can bring to me is very limited. I think
Second Master, you should eat more, your body is too weak, like a little chicken, didn’t you say you want to travel in the future, this kind of body can’t do it.”
Zhang Sui was speechless: "Do you think everyone is a monster like you? I'm still a little chicken, I feel like I'm already very strong, okay?"
He flexed his biceps and looked at Fang Xiong's arms that were thicker than his own legs. Well, I'm a weakling! Zhang Sui complained in his heart.
It was already evening when Lao Lu came back, and he still smelled of alcohol. It seemed that he had drunk with Dong Zhi again.
Zhang Sui said speechlessly: "You won't drink Dong Zhi so much that you can't help me pass the message, will you?"
Lao Lu said with a smile: "No, no, I waited for Dong Zhi to help you finish the matter before dragging him to have a drink. Tomorrow morning, the second son of the Huang family will meet the second master at Fude Building, and Dong Zhi will pick him up in the morning.
"Master."
Zhang Sui saw that his matter had been settled, so he let him go.
Just as Lao Lu was about to return to the concierge, Zhang Sui suddenly felt something in his heart and stopped him. He took a jujube and handed it to him, saying: "Eat it and practice your breathing exercise."
Lao Lu was a little confused, but didn't say anything. He ate the jujubes in several mouthfuls and praised after finishing the meal: "No wonder the second master wanted to buy this jujube tree. The jujubes taste really good!"
Zhang Sui said angrily: "What are you talking about? Practice it quickly and give it a try."
Lao Lu didn't care, he put on a posture with a smile, and started practicing slowly. Before he was halfway through the practice, Lao Lu's expression changed and he became serious. He was no longer careless, but started practicing seriously.
After finishing the practice, before Zhang Sui could say anything, Lao Lu started practicing again. This time, Lao Lu practiced more seriously. After finishing the practice, Lao Lu closed his eyes and remained silent. Zhang Sui also felt the clear spirit in him,
It is much more obvious than that on Fang Xiong.
Lao Lu suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling, staring straight at Zhang Sui, and said in a deep voice: "Second Master, who else has eaten this jujube?"
Zhang Sui did not answer his question, but asked him: "How do you feel?"
Lao Lu said seriously: "It feels very good, it couldn't be better! But Second Master, you have to be clear that the things in your hands may bring you great disaster!"
Zhang Suiqi asked: "Why is this? Is it just because it can help people improve their skills?"
Lao Lu did not answer directly, but pointed to his lame leg and said: "My leg is lame because of something that has the same effect as this jujube."
Zhang Sui was a little surprised and asked, "What's going on?" Fang Xiong was also a little curious.
Lao Lu said: "There are many Yi tribes in the southwest border. They actually have a very good relationship with us, and there are even intermarriages. There is a Yi tribe named Heifeng, and more than ten people have appeared in just two years.
A warrior is equivalent to the fifth level of a warrior. This has never happened before. A soldier who married a tribal woman told some people about it as an anecdote. The supervisor of our army reported the situation to
At the imperial court, two Taoist priests came to the Danxia Temple enshrined by the imperial court. They said they were going to that tribe to look for something. The commander sent more than 500 people to assist them in searching for the Black Front tribe. In the end, only less than 100 people came back.
A Taoist priest died, but our commander finally suppressed the matter. My leg was also injured by a poisonous arrow from that tribe, which damaged the tendon. Although I didn't lose my life, I was also lame."
Lao Lu took a deep look at Zhang Sui and said: "What those Taoist priests were looking for was a fruit tree that would allow warriors to appear in the tribe. They even killed nearly a thousand people in that tribe in order to get that fruit tree. And yours
The jujubes produced by this jujube tree are very similar to that of that fruit tree!"
Fang Xiong said in shock: "If the news spreads, wouldn't the second master be in danger too!" His face suddenly became fierce, and he said: "If anyone wants to distract the second master, I will hammer him into a pulp!" His whole body was full of muscles.
The joints tightened and made a crisp sound like exploding beans.
Zhang Sui saw his appearance and quickly comforted him: "It's not that far yet. There are only a few people who know the effect of jujube, and they are all trustworthy. Ordinary people won't feel any effect after eating it. There's no need to do that.
Worry."
Lao Lu breathed a sigh of relief and complained: "Second Master, you really came back here looking for trouble!"
Zhang Suidao: "This jujube tree is very important to me. Besides, if you don't tell me, who can know? If it works, eat more of it. I think this world may not be peaceful."
It’s been a long time.”
Zhang Sui added: "You also saw the wild boar that Nobita brought back last time. In fact, this is no longer an exception. The world is already changing!"
Lao Lu said thoughtfully, "Is this the reason why the second master has been so busy during this period?"
Zhang Sui sighed: "I just found some clues from the book. Mr. Meng actually also discovered something, but I'm not sure. I'm just making some preparations in advance."
Lao Lu thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Hey! Why do I worry so much? Since the second master has made arrangements, I can just follow you."
Fang Xiong also nodded repeatedly and said: "You will have food to eat with the Second Master. As long as the Second Master is fine, nothing else matters!"
Zhang Sui looked at these two guys and didn't know what to say. The speed of my golden finger's unblocking made me very desperate! Are you lying down and not paying attention at all? I'm a weakling now, okay?
