Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 346
The banquet is divided into inside and outside, and there are twenty seats.

A table is opened in the main hall, which is the master's seat.Gao Yushi's mother and Mrs. Gao Cai's wife, Mrs. Zhang, sat at the head of the table. Three brothers Gao Yushi, Gao Wuguan, and Gao Wuqin were accompanied by two sisters Gao Yunping and Gao Yunting.

Famous Henan dishes such as oily river carp, peony jelly, white grilled wide belly, fried purple crispy pork, emerald fish shreds, abalone in clear soup, tofu in chicken sauce, grilled mutton with green onions, and sea cucumber with hibiscus are all present.

The other nineteen tables were all open outside the courtyard. Fortunately, the weather was fine today, and a shed was built, and a fire was lit under each table. Otherwise, eating in the courtyard in winter would be frightening.

Of the nineteen tables outside the courtyard, except for one table for Gao Yu and several stewards of the Gao family, the other eighteen tables were all prepared for the knights brought back by Gao Yushi. Wine has meat.

Mrs. Zhang had ordered that these people travel thousands of miles to escort the young master back home. The family should not be stingy, and the supply of wine and meat should be free.Gao Yushi also gave them a rare relaxation of discipline, saying that today's meal, wine and meat are free, eat as much as you can, and drink as much as you can.

However, after Gao Yushi left, Gao Yu warned the riders alone that eating meat is free, but drinking should be restrained.Xinzheng Gao is a well-known scholar in Zhongzhou. If anyone dares to get drunk and play crazy, he will take it himself and throw it into the Shuangji River to sober up.

All the riders laughed and agreed.

There was also the talkative Qi Ding, who knew that Gao Yu was not an airsy person, and asked him, "I'm talking about the regimental deputy, who was that guy outside the village just now? He looks like a dog, how dare he play rough with the young master?"

The smile on Gao Yu's face froze, and he sighed: "It's the young master of the big house, please don't be rude."

All the riders looked at each other, and they all consciously stopped talking.

At this moment, in the main hall, Mrs. Zhang was also asking about the conflict outside the village just now.Gao Yushi didn't mince words, and simply told her.

Mrs. Zhang frowned slightly after hearing this, and said: "He is a bit of a dandy and frivolous, but what you have done is too much, and everyone will not be able to save face when they make a fuss."

Gao Wushi pondered for a while, and asked: "It stands to reason that uncle has enlightened his son, and son really shouldn't treat elder brother like this. It's just that I just came back, and he is just like this. If I swallow my breath, I'm afraid I will accept it In the end, he will push his feet even further, disturbing our peace."

Mrs. Zhang sighed, shook her head and said, "This matter... I'm afraid it was caused by that Jinghua soap."

Gao Wushi rolled his eyes and asked, "Does he want the share of Jinghua Soap in mother's hands?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded, and talked about the situation in recent months.After the high-practical Jinghua soap was put into production, part of the output has been sent to Xinzheng, where Zhang is responsible for management.

At the very beginning, the production capacity was limited, and Mr. Zhang didn’t get many goods, so he only promoted them as gifts in a small area in Xinzheng. At that time, Gao Wuzi didn’t pay much attention. He just came to Mr. Zhang to ask for some for his own use and to give away.

Later, Jinghua Soap was sold in Jingshi, Nanjing also opened up sales, and Sanshenyuan expanded its production three times a year.According to Gao Yushi's previous design, the goods sent to Xinzheng were based on the production ratio, and now there were too many goods, so Zhang had to start selling them as gifts.

Since it is necessary to turn to selling to make a profit, it cannot be done only in Xinzheng County. The Zhang family quickly contacted her natal Zhang family in Puzhou to ask for a few available people, and began to operate in the whole of Henan.

The Zhang family in Puzhou has been in business for several generations. They are a wealthy party. Of course, there are indispensable business talents in the entrainment. In addition, Jinghua Soap has become popular in Beijing and South Beijing. It is a profiteering monopoly product. This business is simply too easy for them. .

In less than half a year, Jinghua Soap has opened up the situation in the entire eight prefectures of Henan, especially the Kaifeng prefecture to which Xinzheng belongs. Like the two capitals of the north and the south, it is sold out of stock at every turn. Some official families and powerful families have come to Xinzheng Looking for Zhang's friendship, hoping to supply separately or order in advance.

With such a hot sale, Mrs. Zhang not only made a lot of profits, but more importantly, she also got closer to many high-ranking people in Henan official circles and shopping malls. Blend it in.

It's a pity Mrs. Zhang knew that he was worthless, and she always regarded this profit as the property of her eldest son. How could a mother be willing to lose money to her son? Of course, she rejected Gao Wuzi, saying that this was a pragmatic business. You If you want it, talk to yourself and be pragmatic.

Naturally, Gao Wuzi didn't dare to write to Gao Wushi directly, for fear of being discovered by his third uncle Gao Gong and reprimanded by him, so he held a grudge.This time for Gao Yushi to return to his hometown for the exam, he was having a good time in the county town, and he didn't want to condescend to pick up his younger brother. It happened that he ran out of money, thinking that since Gao Yushi came back, he might be able to trick him If you are a dry stock in the soap business, don't you no longer have to worry about running out of money?
From Gao Wuzi's point of view, even if the two capitals of the north and the south are out of reach by himself, and the business in Henan is so booming, it's not too much for you, a filial brother who is a younger brother, to make [-]-[-]% of the stock, right?Anyway, it was my dad who taught you how to read when you were enlightened!

It's a pity that this guy can't even speak when he asks for help. If he speaks a few words that are neither yin nor yang, the smell of gunpowder will come up. In the end, he turned into such a mess, not to mention losing face, let alone mentioning dry stock.

After listening to Gao Yushi, he felt a little embarrassed.In fact, according to his way of thinking, if Gao Wuzi wanted the dry shares of Henan Jinghua Soap in the early days, he would have given it to him as a repayment for his uncle’s enlightenment. Practically nothing.

For Gao Yushi, the soap business is just a business to accumulate the first pot of gold, not the core industry in his plan. In the future, there will be more industries that are more profitable than soap, so it's no big deal.What's more, it was only given to some cadres in a mere province of Henan. Although the money was a huge sum of money to Gao Wuzi, what was it to Gao Wuzi?
If it had been given earlier, maybe there would not be such a thing today.

But it is impossible for Gao Wushi to blame Zhang for this. After all, in Zhang's view, it is natural to take care of his son's property. Naturally, he refused to let it go.

Gao Wushi thought for a while and said: "Uncle has a kindness to me, I have to repay it, my brother is the only blood of my uncle, if I am too harsh on him, outsiders will not know, I am afraid that I am ungrateful, it is not beautiful. "

Mrs. Zhang sighed: "That's the reason, but you have a conflict today, if you give him a share at this time, I'm afraid it's not the way."

Gao Wushi picked up a piece of river carp, pulled out the fishbone, ate it happily, smiled, and said, "It's okay, I can give him another fortune if I don't give Xiangzao a dry share. But, this is the first time, It's also the last time, if he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, no one can blame me."

Mrs. Zhang was surprised: "What wealth?"

Gao Wushi smiled: "My son happens to have a business in his hand. He has already started doing it in the capital in the past few months. The effect is not bad. It is called briquette coal...Mother, although our coal in Henan is not as much as in Shanxi, it is still real. Quite a few, let’s not talk about Pingdingshan, even if we are in Xinzheng, is there a shortage of coal?”
