The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 60
Under the leadership of Chai Shao, a group of people went straight to the largest tea shop.Duan Wuji looked up, and saw the four characters "Wuyue Tea Shop" written on the signboard of the tea shop.

After entering the tea shop, the shopkeeper knew Chai Shao. When the shopkeeper saw so many people coming in, he immediately walked out from the backstage.

"Mr. Chai, what kind of fragrant wind brought you here? Mr. Chai, please sit down quickly. I will make two pots of good tea later. You should pay for it first.

Hey, buddy, make two pots of tea quickly.Brew a pot of Biluochun, brew a pot of Longjing, let everyone taste it first. "

The guy agreed and ran out.

Before long, two pots of good tea were served.Several people had a few drinks around the table.

Zi Shao asked with a smile: "Brother, what do you think of this tea?"

"Well, it's not bad. Hey, boss, do you have black tea here?"

"Really, this shop has the best black tea, which is the famous Dianhong tea! What's the matter? Brother, do you like drinking black tea?
Hey, buddy, make another pot of black tea. "

The man agreed and ran out, and after a while, a pot of good black tea was served.

Duan Wuji poured a cup and watched carefully, he saw that the black tea was blood red and tasted pretty good after a sip.

Chai Shao said with a smile: "Boss, you are going to get rich today. See, my brother wants to buy a batch of tea from you. Boss, you should give me a better price. In a couple of months, the new tea will come out." At that time, your Shencha is not easy to buy."

The owner of the tea shop laughed and said, "Well, the price is easy to talk about. As long as you want more, I can set the lowest price for this price."

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "These three kinds of tea just now, boss, please tell me how much money is less per catty."

The owner of the tea shop thought for a while and said, "Brother, this is the best tea. How about a tael or two a catty? Today I will go all out."

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Boss, your price is not low! You still treat us as retail investors who only buy ten or twenty catties, and tell you, if you buy ten catties or eight catties, there is no need for us to grind our teeth with you. "

The owner of the tea shop laughed and said, "Brother, it's easy to talk about. Tell me, how much do you want? If you buy a large quantity, we can still discuss the price."

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "I'll buy one thousand five hundred taels of silver, how about it? The quantity is big enough."

The owner of the tea shop was stunned when he heard this, and it took a long time for the owner to come back to his senses.

"Brother, is this true?"

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Is this still fake? Boss, let's prepare the goods. I want 500 taels of silver for each of these three kinds of tea, but the quality must be guaranteed. As for the price, I won't pay you more, just one tael You can get a catty of silver, and it will be more convenient for us to trade, if you agree, then we will make a deal."

The owner of the tea shop laughed when he heard this.

"Brother, just do as you say, let's make a deal.

Hey brother, when will you bring me the silver? "

Chai Shao listened and said with a smile: "Boss, the money is in my Chai Mansion. You should prepare the goods quickly. When the time comes, we will have the goods and the money. Do you think this will work?"

The owner of the tea shop nodded.

"Well, that's fine too. Mr. Chai, for our long-term cooperation, let me treat you to a meal at noon today."

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "It seems that there are still restaurants today, so I don't need to pay for the treats. Then brothers, let's go with the boss."

The owner of the tea shop led them to a restaurant next to the tea shop. The owner of the tea shop ordered more than a dozen dishes and several bottles of wine.

After several people sat around the table, the owner of the tea shop poured wine for everyone, the owner of the tea shop looked at Duan Wuji and said: "Brother, today you and I met for the first time, come, let my brother toast you a glass first.

Hey brother, what's your name? "

Chai Shao laughed and said, "Boss Niu, let me introduce you."

Chai Shao pointed at Duan Wuji with his hand. "This is Duan Wuji, and he is the second largest shareholder of my business. He is my good brother."

Chai Shao pointed at Tieniu again.

"This is Duan Tieniu, the third largest shareholder of our business this time, and also my good brother."

Chai Shao pointed to Duan Changhao, Duan Changhong and Duan Changqing again. These three are the three small shareholders of our business this time.

All five of them are brothers of the same family.

The owner of the tea shop is always coming, and he immediately understood what was going on.

The owner of the tea shop raised his glass with a smile.

"Everyone, Mr. Chai, for the sake of our happy cooperation, come, let's have a toast first."

Everyone raised their glasses after hearing this.

Duan Wuji looked at the owner of the tea shop and said with a smile: "Boss, please introduce yourself."

The owner of the tea shop laughed and said: "I am from Yangzhou, and I have been dealing in tea in our Taiyuan Prefecture. My name is Niu Decao, and people call me Boss Niu.

Alas, I am a poor boss. I have worked hard for so many years, but my boss has never been able to become a cow.

I've been in this business for almost 20 years, but I've never made a fortune. Every year, I'm hungry and can't bear it. I'll see if I can make more money by joining your big boat next year. "

Duan Wuji looked at the owner of the tea shop and asked: "Boss Niu, how long will it take for me to deliver the goods?"

The cow boss thought for a while and said: "Well, it will take ten days and 20 days. However, I can guarantee that the goods will be fully delivered to you by the end of the year."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Well, it's good to have it all ready before the year.

Hey, Brother Chai, after his goods are delivered, you can inspect the goods and pay for me at that time, and I will not come over. "

Chai Shao laughed and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will take care of all this, and there will be no problems at all. You won't need to use it when the time comes."

After the banquet was over, Duan Wuji looked at Chai Shao and said with a smile: "Brother Chai, have you found all the people who are doing business with us? Even the cart that transports the goods, have you found it?"

Chai Shao listened and nodded.

"Brother, don't worry, I have already found the people who will follow us on this business trip. All of these people are highly skilled, and all of them are martial arts masters who are proficient in riding and shooting. They will definitely not cause any problems.

As for the chariots and horses for our cloth pulling, I have already found these, so don't worry. "

Duan Wuji looked at Chai Shao and said with a smile: "Brother Chai, can you find some good bows and arrows for me, and also lend us two sets of big sticks and swords, my three elder brothers have no weapons yet.

But, didn't we bring back a big stick from the Hejian Mansion, and my third grandfather's house also has a town house sword that can also be used. Calculated in this way, there are just four weapons missing. "

Chai Shao laughed out loud.

"Brother, isn't it just these few weapons? Let me tell you, this is a trivial matter for me.

Brother, there's nothing else to do now, let's go back to the house with me to get it. "

Duan Wuji stood up and said to everyone: "Let's go, we've eaten the meal, the tea has been ordered, and today's affairs can be regarded as complete.

Boss Niu, go back and rest, let's see you later. "

Boss Niu laughed and said, "Brothers, go ahead and leave me alone."

Several people cupped their hands at Boss Niu, and then walked out.

Several people came to the Chai Mansion, and Chai Shao said with a smile: "Brothers, there is nothing to do now, it is still early, follow me into the mansion to rest for a while."

After hearing this, several people immediately followed Chai Shao into the mansion.Chai Shao led everyone to the study.

The old family stepped in.

"Master, where have you been? You don't even talk about eating at noon?"

Chai Shao listened and said with a smile: "I had a meal with my friends today. Old brother, please serve two pots of tea. How many guests do you think I have here today?"

The old family members went out immediately after hearing this, and two pots of good tea were brought out in a short time.

Chai Shao poured tea for the people himself.

"Brothers, don't be polite when you come to my Chai Mansion. Please drink tea."

Several people held up their teacups and chatted with Chai Shao while drinking tea.

Chai Shao looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Brother, you said this time we are doing business with great fanfare, how much money can we make in one trip? Brother, do you give a forecast?"

Duan Wuji put down his teacup and thought for a while, and said: "I think, if nothing goes wrong, you can earn 1 taels of silver no matter what."

Chai Shao laughed and said, "Brother, is there really such a high profit? If it can be as you said, I will definitely invite everyone when I come back."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Chai, you have to keep your word, we can wait for you to invite us?"

Chai Shao laughed and said: "Brother, brother said that if it is true as you said, I will only hire you if our profit reaches [-]%, what if it doesn't?

Then I don't ask. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Chai, if you can't reach it, can't I treat you?"

Chai Shao laughed out loud.

"Okay, then let's make a deal like this, no one is allowed to go back on their word!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Chai, but what? I said that there is a prerequisite for earning at least 1 taels of silver."

Chai Shao laughed and said, "What's the premise? Tell me and listen?"

Duan Wuji smiled slightly: "The first question is that I have the final say on the business this time, and others follow orders in all actions."

Chai Shao laughed loudly after hearing this: "Okay, you have the final say on the business this time, why not let me act as your assistant.

Promise, let me see how strong your business acumen is. "

Everyone chatted for a while, and Chai Shao said with a smile: "Just wait, I will bring you two sets of weapons."

After hearing this, Duan Wuji said to Duan Changhong, Duan Changhao, and Duan Changqing, "Don't wait for Brother Chai to bring the weapon over, just let Brother Chai choose it yourself."

Chai Shao listened and said with a smile: "Well, Wuji is still thoughtful. That's good, I'll save you trouble and bring it here."

The three stood up and immediately followed Chai Shao out.

Before long, Chai Shao led the three of them in.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu saw that the weapons chosen by the three were really good.

Duan Wuji stood up and cupped his hands at Chai Shao.

"Brother Chai, you should rest. After returning, the three of them still have to hurry up to practice martial arts, so we won't bother you."

Chai Shao listened and nodded.

"Well, if you say that, then I won't keep you. Let's meet again next year."

After speaking, Chai Shao sent them out of Chai Mansion.
