I'm so tired of traveling all the time
Chapter 123 Zhao Zhongtian
Tea shop owner Zhao Zhongtian was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep. The heat in his stomach had long since dissipated, but he still felt a sense of discomfort in his mouth.
Thinking about what happened at the dinner table tonight, it felt like a dream.
I don’t know how the golden pieces that embellished the body of the wine bottle were put there, but it feels so smooth to the touch, so delicate that it’s beyond words!
Not to mention the set of wine utensils that were simple, exquisite, and extremely noble. Zhao Zhongtian dared to conclude that even the ones used by the emperor could not compare to the unique set that Boss Wen had!
Although he was not an imperial merchant, he knew many important imperial merchants and knew where some of the utensils used in the palace came from. This was not a secret to people of a certain level, so he was so sure.
Zhao Zhongtian didn't expect to get that set of wine utensils, but if he could get some wine bottles... or even some wine, after all, things are valuable because they are rare, then his business would definitely be taken to the next level!
Zhao Zhongtian couldn't help but feel satisfied with his sudden inspiration. He originally came to the shop here to check the accounts, and happened to meet Wen Liang opening the door. He looked at this strange man with curiosity, and helped him out of soft heart and kindness. As a result, he made such a surprising discovery!
Moreover, Wen Liang gave Zhao Zhongtian a very special feeling. His generous, magnanimous and unconventional demeanor made people unconsciously lower their posture.
When someone said that Wen Liang did not have a great background, Zhao Zhongtian would be the first to object. Otherwise, an ordinary family would not be able to cultivate such a temperament, let alone these treasures that were casually taken out.
No matter how hard I thought, I couldn't imagine why the person who could come up with these treasures would deliberately approach me and others. There is nothing that he could covet!
As for money, that set of wine utensils alone was not something that he and his friends could covet. Moreover, most of the other bosses were contacted and persuaded by him. He contacted these people with whom he had close relationships on a whim, and no one knew about it beforehand, and there was no intentional contact.
Zhao Zhongtian continued to toss and turn, thoughts churning in his mind, and he felt more and more thirsty.
At this time, the eldest lady who was sleeping in the same bed was also awakened by his movements. She couldn't help but complain, "You dead man, why are you making such a fuss so late at night?"
His first wife was the youngest daughter of General Wan, the city defense officer of the capital. Many of his businesses were relatively smooth sailing because of the care of his father-in-law, otherwise they would have been squeezed out by the An Shigeng family long ago!
Moreover, the eldest lady was very helpful to him and gave him advice and suggestions, so Zhao Zhongtian also respected this lady very much. At this time, he just stood up and said, "I encountered some things during the day, and now I can't sleep... You go to sleep first, I'll go to the study and sit down!"
Zhao Zhongtian put on his clothes, went to the study, lit the lamp and sat down, thinking about how to further improve his relationship with Wen Liang.
At this time, the door opened. Zhao Zhongtian looked up and saw his wife coming in with a pot of wine and two plates of side dishes in her hands.
"What worries you again?" The eldest lady smiled gently, "Do you want me to go talk to father again? Recently, the An family has approached him. I heard that those who can do business with the An family have made a lot of money. I believe it can be of some help to your husband's business!"
Zhao Zhongtian held the eldest lady's hand and sat beside him. He was moved by her words. He thought that since they got married, they had been in harmony and respected each other. In fact, it was the lady who supported and understood them most of the time, which led to the current Zhao Zhongtian.
Therefore, Zhao Zhongtian loved and was grateful to the first lady, so he handed over all the affairs in the family to her to manage. He was willing to tell her even some business matters, and he usually liked to rest in her room at night.
Zhao Zhongtian took his wife's hand, took the small wine glass handed to him, looked at it carefully and remembered the luxurious...
"I am sorry to make you worried, madam. It is not that I have encountered any difficulties, but an opportunity... perhaps a great opportunity!"
"Oh, if it's an opportunity, why is my husband still tossing and turning so restless?" The first lady asked curiously, "This is a good thing!"
Zhao Zhongtian shook his head. Thinking about it now, he regretted contacting those friends to go to the banquet together. Otherwise, the opportunity might have been taken by himself...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly at his own greed. He had come this far without their help, and greed would not take him far.
So Zhao Zhongtian talked about what happened during the day, especially the shiny teapot, the transparent and smooth wine bottle, the simple and noble wine utensils, and the gentle and generous Mr. Wen.
Zhao Zhongtian's mouth was dry after hearing this story. He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. After drinking it, he frowned. "I drank Master Wen's strong wine. I found it hard to swallow at first. But now when I drink other wines, I always feel that they lack some flavor... Thinking back, I actually miss it a little bit and can't stop!"
"Is it really so magical?!" The eldest lady's eyes were shining and full of curiosity.
"What I said is not even a fraction of what I experienced in person!" Zhao Zhongtian said, "If I can get a little bit of it and give it to my father-in-law and others, then our business will definitely be able to take another step forward... two steps!"
"Even if I leave some for myself to taste, it will surely be extremely delicious!"
The eldest lady's eyes flickered, and she was thinking constantly. As the beloved daughter of the city defense general, she had read a lot and had a lot of knowledge. She was smart and wise, which was also where she could help Zhao Zhongtian.
So, under the light of the study, the eldest lady leaned close to his ear, and the two of them discussed the matter in detail.
This situation is happening in several mansions in the capital.
The next morning, Wen Liang got up and stretched comfortably, feeling that the wine he drank last night really helped him to relax.
After washing up in the yard, I was about to go through the shop in front and go out for breakfast, but when I opened the door, I was startled by the person inside.
Wen Liang saw the two servants from last night staring at the dining table with bloodshot eyes without blinking!
The two of them were in a daze and stiff. After hearing the noise of the door, they seemed to be startled. They almost jumped up, and looked at Wen Liang with strong wariness in their eyes.
After staring at Wen Liang for a long time, the two finally reacted. They immediately stood up, rubbed their faces fiercely, and said with a wry smile, "Master Wen, you, you're awake!"
"You guys... didn't sleep all night?!" Wen Liang asked curiously.
Servant A laughed bitterly, "How dare we, Master Wen? We can't fall asleep while guarding these treasures. If they get bumped or lost, I can't afford to pay for it even if I lose my head..."
Wen Liang was helpless, and shook his head with a smile, "It's my fault for not considering it carefully..." He took out two taels of silver and handed them over, "Go buy some food, and go back and have a good rest!"
"No, Master Wen. You gave me enough money as a reward yesterday. I'm afraid my master will blame me if I come again!" Servant A gritted his teeth and refused.
"Just take what I gave you. If your Master Zhao blames you, just say I gave it to you forcefully!"
The two servants then happily took it, put it in their arms with many thanks, then picked up the slop bucket and left the shop.
Wen Liang looked at the empty wine bottles and wine utensils on the table, all of which had been washed clean. Wen Liang shook his head and smiled, then waved his hand to put them away.
Since it is said to be a treasure, Wen Liang will not lower its price.
After going out for breakfast, Wen Liang strolled back to the shop and found a large group of people gathered at the door. At this time, several leaders saw Wen Liang coming and immediately came up to him with smiles on their faces.
"Good morning, Master Wen. I was called here by Mr. Li from Changfeng Escort Agency. He said that you need to demolish the wall to connect the house. What do you think?"
"Master Wen, I am from Scholar Bai's family!"
"I was called here by Master An. If you have any needs, just tell me and I will definitely get them done!"
There were many different opinions, and Wen Liang finally understood that it turned out that the bosses had instructed the contact persons after returning home last night, and a large number of craftsmen of various kinds had come to the door early in the morning.
At this time, Zhao Zhongtian from the tea shop next door heard the voice and came out, "Good morning, Brother Wen!"
"Boss Zhao is here so early too!"
After saying hello, Zhao Zhongtian called his steward and several servants to help lead the many craftsmen gathered at the door to Wen Liang's new store. After instructing the good men to direct the supervision, he took Wen Liang back to his small shop.
"Thanks to Brother Wen yesterday, I was able to broaden my horizons. Thinking about it last night when I got home, I felt that I couldn't lose my manners, so I brought some tea for Brother Wen to try. It's not as exquisite as the one you brought yesterday, but the taste is not bad either!"
As he spoke, Zhao Zhongtian ordered someone to bring in a one-foot square wooden box. The box was dark in color and had a faint scent of sandalwood.
"This is the new pre-rain tribute tea this year, specially for the one in the palace. You can drink it yourself..." Zhao Zhongtian whispered.
Wen Liang was surprised. He didn't expect that he could drink the same tea as the emperor. He also didn't know what this tea tasted like.
However, it was not appropriate for Wen Liang to open the bottle and take a look in front of the guests. After thinking about it, Wen Liang waved his hand and two bottles of wine appeared on the table. They were the same ones he drank last night!
"This wine may be a bit strong, and many people may not be used to it, but this bottle is also a rare item, I hope Boss Zhao won't dislike it!"
Boss Zhao was stunned again. He was not only surprised by Wen Liang's generosity, but also shocked by his ability to create something out of thin air!
They thought Wen Liang had demonstrated his strong financial resources last night, but they didn't expect that they still underestimated the man in front of them!
