Old Gong always wants to feed me fat

Weisheng was also surprised: "You guys know each other? When? Why don't I remember?"

Cang Doushan's eyes signaled him to shut up: "When I was on the boat." He nodded and smiled at the middle-aged man: "I never thought there would be a day to see you again."

Boss Huang smiled and said, "Shibie treats you with admiration for three days. You have only been here for a few months, and the business is already doing well."

"Don't dare, it's just luck."

Hearing this, Weisheng thought it was hypocritical, but seeing Boss Huang's greasy and generous face, he found it even more disgusting, and really wanted to beat him out with a stick.

After being polite for a while, the two sat down to discuss.Boss Huang got straight to the point and said bluntly that he wanted to cooperate with Candoushan. He provided the spices and herbs needed by Candoushan, and Candoushan was responsible for preparing the formula, and partnered to create a new rouge brand.

But he has a condition, Candoushan and Weisheng must go with him to open a shop in Wenjin County, his home base.

"Wenjin County is a famous and prosperous place in the world. There are many aristocratic families, and there are countless wealthy families. With your talent, there is a better future for development in Wenjin County. The cost of opening a store there, supplying raw materials, and selling finished products to other places , I will pay for it all, you just do it. The profit will be divided into [-]-[-], what do you think?"

Cang Doushan didn't immediately agree to the very tempting business, and said in a soft voice: "Xiaosheng has no experience in doing big business, please allow me to think about this matter before making a decision."

Boss Huang was full of confidence and said, "Understood, I will visit again in three days."

Cang Doushan got up to see him off, talked kindly all the way, and came back with a dignified expression, the neglected Wei Sheng gnawed on the duck's neck bitterly, biting it crisply.

"Are you going?"

"Listen to you."

"What nonsense, I want your opinion."

Weisheng spat out the broken duck bones, and said viciously: "If you have money, you don't make money!"

Weisheng agreed, but he didn't know anything about business cooperation, and neither could Candoushan.

If you don’t understand, you risk being cheated.A businessman is a businessman, no evil is not a business.

The two cobblers flipped through the book for a day, discussed for a long time, and deduced the possible risks in it.Finally, three days later, Candoushan put forward a condition to Boss Huang: the cooperation period between the two parties is five years.Five years later, he will be able to become independent by repaying Boss Huang for supporting the opening of the store, exporting and all other expenses. After that, he and Boss Huang will only have upstream and downstream supply relations.It is equivalent to Candoushan borrowing money from Boss Huang to open a store.

Boss Huang agreed without hesitation, and also set additional conditions: Candoushan can only buy raw materials from him during the five years, and he is not allowed to communicate with other vanilla merchants in private.

After negotiation, Cangdoushan wrote down the terms reached on the paper one by one, and both sides signed in red letters and pressed their fingerprints. Cangdoushan called Weisheng over: "You come too."

Reluctantly, Weisheng walked over slowly, picking up a pen to write.He is not very literate, and he can write his own name, but he hasn't touched a pen for a long time, and the two characters are crooked like insects crawling. Cang Doushan glanced at it and saw that the "微" he wrote was missing a horizontal line, and so on. After he finished writing, he took over the article calmly, "I suddenly remembered that I missed one article, wait a moment." He quickly added an optional article, made up the line by the way, and began to copy the second article. copy for the record.

Weisheng saw it clearly, knew it in his heart, and his face was filled with embarrassment.

In contrast, Cangdoushan's handwriting is so neat and beautiful that it can be framed. After the second record was copied, Boss Huang held the contract and praised it full of praise: "This calligraphy is only a mediocre Jiangnan pen master."

Cang Doushan nodded and said, "Mr. is absurd."

Boss Huang put away the contract and said with a smile, "Then tomorrow I will send someone to pick you up to Wenjin County."

"Boss Huang, go slowly."

After sending Boss Huang away, Cang Doushan closed the door and fastened the latch: "What's for dinner tonight?"

Weisheng muffled: "I don't want to eat."

"Isn't it just a white character, why are you angry?"

"Heh!" Weisheng was in a bad mood, facing the wall with his cheeks on his hands.Cangdoushan picked up some money, went out with a bowl and bought a bowl of wontons, brought back a lot of snow, but it was still warm, "Come on, eat quickly."

……

Cang Doushan put down the bowl with a snap, threatening: "If you don't eat it, it will be wasted."

Weisheng began to eat with a face full of reluctance, and asked halfway through the meal, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"I still have to pack my things." Cang Dou Shan got up to pack their few possessions.

At night, the two nest together, breathing together.Before falling asleep, Weisheng asked softly, "Do you think Boss Huang is reliable?"

"It's too late for you to regret it now."

"I don't like him, I feel he has other plans." Weisheng tugged the quilt, covered his shoulders tightly, and helped Cangdoushan by the way, "I don't believe you didn't see it."

"So what if we know, we are very short of money now."

Weisheng was silent for a while: "It might be a lot better if you join those great sects... I heard that they all distribute practice resources for free."

"I won't learn the exercises of other sects." Cang Doushan said, "If you want to enter, it's not suitable for you because you are too old."

"Is it so miserable..." Weisheng sighed.

"It's already decided, so don't think too much, we'll talk about it in Wenjin County." Cang Doushan closed his eyes, "Go to sleep."

Weisheng didn't feel sleepy at all, instead he stared at Cangdou Mountain for a while: "Teach me how to read."

"Okay."

"You also need to teach me how to write beautiful characters, beautiful characters like you."

"Well, no problem."

Weisheng stared at him for a while, and said, "The more I look at you, the more I think you look like my wife?"

Cang Doushan opened his eyes, looked at it for a while, then turned over, with his back to him.

What's the meaning?Monk Weisheng Zhanger was puzzled.

Cangdoushan's voice was cold: "Sleep well, don't think about what you have."

Weisheng was inexplicable and felt a little lost.

The next day, the person Boss Huang sent to pick them up came and landed on a huge flying starbird outside the small house with a bang, frightening the group of people who came out too early.When Weisheng heard the noise, he immediately got up and opened the door. When he saw Feixingque, he almost blurted out: "It's so big!" For a moment, he felt that shouting like this was too embarrassing, so he forcibly calmed down: "Is it from Boss Huang?"

The person on the Flying Star Sparrow jumped down and said loudly: "I am Du Lianggong, the master sent me to pick you up."

Weisheng nodded: "Okay, wait a minute." Turning around calmly, he rushed to the bedside and shook Cangdoushan wildly: "Get up, get up, people are coming!"

"I know." Cang Doushan pushed Weisheng Dao's hand away, and lazily said, "You carry the things up first, and I'll get up later."

Weisheng had no choice but to carry out the big and small bags that Cangdoushan packed up last night. Du Lianggong seemed to have expected it, and said with a smile: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Things fall in and disappear.Weisheng was stunned for a long time, then sneered: "Is this a Qiankun bag?"

Du Lianggong said: "That's what ordinary people say. The monks call it a storage bag. It's just a storage bag. It can't hold much. It's easy to get things, and it's worthless. The real Qiankun bag can hold everything , that is a fairy weapon."

"Oh, oh." Weisheng felt extremely embarrassed.At this time, Cangdoushan lazily came out, with a sleepy face, glanced at the Flying Starfinch, and blurted out: "This Flying Starfinch has not been raised well."

Du Lianggong's expression froze: "Oh? What's wrong?"

"The feathers are all gray and too thin. Flying star sparrows are famous for their smooth and bright feathers. In terms of speed and flight endurance, they are not as good as Tibetan birds. It used to be that the children of Beijing and Zhongzhong competed with each other, why do they have them now?" Qualified to be a mount."

Du Lianggong couldn't bear it anymore: "Please go up, both of you."

Cangdoushan jumped up lightly and deftly, and leaned down to give Weisheng a hand. Weisheng was sitting on such a huge bird for the first time, nervous and excited: "You said that those Beijing children just sit on this for comparison? How do you compare?" of?"

"The Starfinch has several varieties. The most famous one is 'Rainbow'. Its crown and tail feathers are extremely long and gorgeous like a rainbow. In order to keep its feathers colorful, noble children often feed it a poisonous fruit. , eat too much, the bird becomes manic and restless, fierce and aggressive, and when the poison is almost accumulated, the disciples will ride it to the sky to fight the bird, the bird that loses the fight will fall from the sky, and its gorgeous feathers will slowly turn gray and shatter , that sight is indeed astonishingly beautiful.”

Cang Doushan yawned at this point: "It's a pity that the victorious bird doesn't live long, and it's hard to escape death in the end."

Weisheng was dumbfounded: "I've been raising it for more than half a year just to watch it die? Those people are so idle, right?"

"There is no way. People who play Hongluo either have no cultivation talent or no seniority. They can only spend the family's money to find ways to pass the time. As long as they don't make trouble, the family will not care about them at all."

Weisheng felt the blow from poverty.

Cangdoushan's tone changed: "No one in the capital plays this game anymore, because the imperial court banned it. The merchants who raised flying star sparrows in the past were unlucky, so they had to sell them at a low price, and they began to serve as mounts for transporting goods. In fact, it was meant to be seen."

"Why did the court ban it? It cost money?"

"Hongluo ate too many poisonous fruits during her lifetime. Wherever she rotted after death, no grass would grow anywhere. The vast wasteland in the suburbs of Beijing could not be cultivated, cutting off the livelihood of the people. However, she was popular. She sneaked into the breeding ground and killed the birds. Killed, shocked the world, from then on the imperial court prohibited dignitaries from raising rainbow radishes, and other varieties also declined along with it."

The two talked happily, and Du Lianggong, who was controlling the Flying Star Sparrow in front of him, blushed and turned pale, embarrassed and annoyed, but helpless.

The two chatted for a while, the star sparrows spread their wings, the sky was colder than the ground, and the wind was so strong that people's faces were deformed. The two gradually stopped talking and snuggled up for a nap.

From Shannan Prefecture to Wenjin County, the journey of more than [-] miles, the flying star sparrow landed and rested five times on the way.It was around afternoon and evening that I arrived at Boss Huang's main house.
