Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Ye Jieyi said: "I won't hide it from you. I just received the news yesterday that my father is leaving for Suzhou. I'm afraid that my father will personally lead the bidding, so you have little chance of winning."

"Not too big?"

"Maybe it's only [-]% at most. Fu, sister, I'm sorry for you. I thought it was a sure thing, but I didn't expect that there would be a sudden change."

Xie Fu smiled: "Sister Yuyi, it's too early to say sorry."

Ye Jieyi said: "I know my father too well. Relationships won't work. If you want to bid successfully, you have to fight for strength. Obviously, you don't have any strength at all, and you are a layman in this field."

How could Xie Fu let the cooked duck fly away, and said with a smile: "I'm a layman, it's true, there is sister Yuyi, you are an insider."

Ye Jieyi asked back: "What about strength?"

Before Xie Fu could speak, Ye Jieyi smiled and said: "Heqing is a big cloth merchant in Suzhou, she has some strength, but no matter how powerful she is, she is just an ordinary businessman, and your opponent is the Zhu clan, the Li clan , the huge network behind the two families is beyond your imagination."

Xie Fu thought to himself, it seems that Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Gu, and Mrs. Zhang must be allowed to participate. With these three powerful people as background backers, he is equivalent to having the contacts of these three families.

Ye Jieyi smiled and said, "I wanted to tell you yesterday, but seeing how excited you were, I didn't open my mouth."

Xie Fu smiled and asked, "Then why are you saying it now?"

"There will be a war soon, can you explain clearly?"

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Then make it clearer."

Ye Jieyi took out a stack of bidding documents: "There are rules in business, I want to explain the bidding process to you clearly."

"The first is qualifications. You need to have a recommendation letter of guarantee from a relevant person. I have already done this for you, so you don't need to worry about it."

Xie Fu nodded.

Ye Jieyi continued: "The second is the security deposit."

Xie Fu asked in surprise, "Do you still need a security deposit?"

"Of course, for such a large-scale business, the guarantee deposit is not only a manifestation of financial strength, but also can restrain the general grain merchant."

"Sister Yui, continue talking."

"The starting standard is 5 taels. Of course, the more the better, my suggestion is 10 taels. On the premise that it is not too low, more financial resources are reserved for war."

10 taels!After seeing the silver mountain, Xie Fu already had a clear understanding of the number of 10 taels.

"The third is the idea of ​​development, which involves the national economy and the people's livelihood. This is what my father values ​​most."

Xie Fu asked: "Sister Yuyi, do you know your father's tendency?"

Ye Jieyi said with a smile: "It is his great tendency to take from the people and use them for the people. It is just empty words that anyone can say. The key is practical measures. It has always been his wish to fill the world with warehouses."

Xie Fu praised: "The world is full of warehouses, and your father's ambition is admirable."

Xie Fu has experienced plagues and famines, and understands that at critical times, a handful of rice is a life.

Ye Jieyi said: "In this tender document, in addition to clearly explaining the development of multiple convenient grain roads on land and waterways in Jiangnan East Road, it also promises to build free warehouses in many places in Jiangnan East Road after winning the bid."

"Since the establishment of the Yicang in the Sui Dynasty, this kind of temporary relief measure dedicated to special grain can greatly alleviate the famine after the disaster, and the addition of private Yicang can effectively make up for the shortage of official warehouse relief and its lag."

Xie Fu understands this principle, and the formation of a network of separation and dispersal can provide timely relief. For example, the people are starving, but the disaster food in the official warehouse takes half a month to arrive, and the people have long since starved to death. This shows that it is timely. The importance of reaching the ground.

I couldn't help but praised: "Sister Yuyi, you are really good. If you can come up with such a move, my younger brother will admire you. This is just what I like. An official wants to benefit the people. Businessmen also need to take benefiting the people as their own responsibility, rather than simply chasing profits."

Ye Jieyi smiled: "This is my father's idea, not something that a little girl like me can think of, I just copied it according to his idea, and he must have groaned when he saw your bid——" I agree with each other."

Xie Fu praised: "My father is admirable."

Ye Jieyi said: "Don't patronize and admire him. If you become the general grain merchant of Jiangnan Dongdao, you need to take the lead and drive the entire Jiangnan Dongdao local grain merchants to vigorously develop this initiative, and develop the temporary relief measures into a normal emergency mechanism. , In this way, in the first few years, not only will you not earn money, but you will also lose a lot of money."

Xie Fu said with a smile: "This statement is wrong. It is human effort. The establishment of the righteous warehouse will also increase my grain storage capacity. If God has mercy on me, there will be no disasters or difficulties in the past few years. I will definitely make a lot of money."

Ye Jieyi said: "You think too much. Since it is a free warehouse, it is naturally dedicated to food, so you can't move it at all."

Xie Fu smiled: "I think too much, rules are dead, people are alive, if I can't earn money, how can I have the ability to fill the righteous warehouse, the righteous warehouse is empty, wouldn't it be an empty talk for special food, It all depends on human effort, the key lies in how to be flexible and what kind of original intention you have, if people's hearts are not old, no matter how good the rules are, they will be in vain."

After Ye Jieyi thought for a while, he said to Xie Fu, "Fu, you are quite smart, my father just doesn't understand."

What she wanted to convey to Xie Fu was that you can't let him know your thoughts.

"No one is perfect."

"Fu, let's read the content of your tender document first, and understand it clearly, so it is convenient for me to talk to you slowly."

A box of paperwork would give ordinary people a headache just looking at it, but Xie Fu himself likes to read, and the more he reads it, the more interested he becomes, but it involves a level of knowledge that he has never touched before.

During the period, Su Qianqian came twice, hoping that Xie Fu could take them out for a stroll.

Ye Jieyi, who was younger, was like a steady sister, and asked Su Qianqian not to come and disturb Xie Fu.

Among the four sisters, although Cui Yourong is in charge of the overall situation, it is often the shrewd Ye Jieyi who comes up with the idea.

Near dusk, Tantai Heqing came to Xie's mansion and brought the two pastries made by Gu Xianting himself.

This made the gluttonous Su Qianqian very happy.

How should I put it, Su Qianqian's delicious food is like a man who is lustful and likes beautiful women. A man can't help drooling when he sees a beautiful woman, but Su Qianqian can't help drooling when he sees delicious food.

As soon as the pastry was placed, Su Qianqian took the lead to taste a piece. After taking a bite, she froze and remained motionless. Her big eyes were bigger than a bull's eye, but she was shocked physically and mentally. .

Ye Jieyi looked at Su Qianqian who was motionless in surprise, and a thought flashed through his mind - it was absurd to suspect that Tantai Heqing was poisoning the pastry.

I saw Su Qianqian's whole body twitched cleverly, and blurted out: "It's so delicious!"

Ye Jieyi breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a bad mood, "Third brother, what are you doing?"

"Woooo...it's so beautiful, I'm willing to lose ten years of my life!"

Su Qianqian was eating, her eyes were wet, but she was crying while eating, she was dumbfounded by Tantai Heqing: "Miss Qianqian?"

Su Qianqian chewed something in her mouth and stammered, "It's good...it's indescribable..."

Ye Jieyi was also very curious. She knew that Su Qianqian was greedy, but it was the first time she cried after eating, and asked, "Is it really so delicious?"

Su Qianqian replied hesitantly: "You will know if you taste a piece yourself."

Ye Jieyi reached out to take a piece, Su Qianqian suddenly realized something, and brought the whole plate in front of her.

Ye Jieyi was very disdainful: "Cut! Did I grab something to eat from you?"

"No, but not necessarily this time."

Ye Jieyi took a sip, her expression froze for a moment, and then she chewed slowly and gracefully, as if tasting calligraphy and painting.

After eating one piece, I realized later, "Heqing, I have never eaten such a delicious pastry. Where did you buy this pastry?"

Tantai He said with a smile: "This cake, I can't buy it, it was made by my Xianting sister."

Ye Jieyi thought thoughtfully: "How should I put it... There are many changes, which are endless aftertaste, like the joy of men and women brings great joy to people's body and mind... and it is like the fulfillment of hunger. , this is probably the highest state of food..."

Tantai Heqing heard Ye Jieyi say that it was like the joy of a man and a woman, and blushed slightly. Sister Jieyi's comparison is a bit exaggerated.

Su Qianqian said at this time: "It's more touching than the joy of men and women! This is the resonance and shock of the soul."

Only then did Tantai Heqing notice that Su Qianqian had tears streaming down her face.

"Heqing, would you like to invite this young lady to meet her?"

Tantai Heqing nodded in response.

Ye Jieyi reached out to take another piece, and there were two pieces of cake left, but Su Qianqian moved quickly, taking a bite of each piece, and then asked: "I've already bitten, do you want more?"

Tantai Heqing was a little astonished, she never thought that Su Qianqian, a famous lady, behaved so naively.

Ye Jieyi smiled and said: "I won't rob you, I can bear it."

Seeing Tantai Heqing's expression was very surprised, Ye Jieyi leaned closer to Tantai Heqing and said in a low voice: "The third child's taste for food is different from others, how should I put it... It's like taking aphrodisiac suddenly. It’s much stronger than ordinary people, don’t worry, she has a much stronger sense of joy in enjoying food than us, so don’t be fooled by Crane Love.”

Tantai He responded emotionally: "So that's the case." Just like her physique that is afraid of pain, if she can't stand a little pain, others will think that she is hypocritical.

"By the way, I brought something from Xuantanzhai, I don't know if the two sisters like it or not."

Tantai Heqing said and took the clothes he brought to the table.

Su Qianqian was a little unhappy, not interested in these clothes at all.

It looks like it should be clothes, but Ye Jieyi, a lady who has never seen it before, pointed to a silk tube curiously and asked, "Heqing, what is this?"

"It's leg socks."

"Leg socks?"

"Wearing on your legs."

Ye Jieyi was both curious and interested: "Why do you wear socks on your legs?"

Tantai Heqing asked back: "Then why do you wear socks on your feet?"

Ye Jieyi was speechless.

Tantai Heqing explained: "Usually we wear plain trousers under our skirts. No matter how good the satin is, it is always hot and stuffy in summer. Putting on these leg socks will make it better, and we can walk very lightly. , as...as..."

Ye Jieyi glanced at the socks, and then said, "It's like nothing."
