I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 84 Your whole family is a fool
Hearing Xue Pan say this, Feng Ziying couldn't help but laugh.

Xue Wenlong is truly a wonderful person.

He still has only a vague idea of ​​what kind of business he wants to do, but when it comes to getting paid to do things, he never refuses.

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "What I want you to do is simple. First, you need to build a workshop to produce rouge and powder."

"Then we will need to use some of your Xue family's shops. Once our rouge and powder become famous, we can use them for sales."

"Also, the raw materials needed to produce rouge and powder need to be purchased by your Xue family."

"I wonder if Wenlong can do these things?"

Hearing this, Xue Pan couldn't help but frown.

He wasn't worried about how much money it would cost;

It turns out that this business is not just about paying money, but also requires him to come out and take charge in person?
How hard is this? How can you have time to drink and have fun every day?

For a moment, Xue Pan wanted to retreat.

It's just that he had just made the boast, and for a moment, he couldn't wipe his face.

Besides, he really wanted to prove himself in front of Aunt Xue. It had almost become his obsession.

Therefore, after thinking it over again and again, Xue Pan gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Feng, just teach me these things, I will definitely be able to do them."

"As for the purchase of raw materials, please write me a list and I will send my most trusted servant to buy them."

"As for the workshop, it's actually quite simple. My Xue family already has a few ready-made ones, and because they are losing money, we are planning to use them for other purposes. Now is the perfect time to free up space."

"The rest of the shops are easy to deal with. Nowadays, the profits of shops in the capital are getting smaller and smaller every year. Some shops have even been losing money for years. They can all be transferred out."

Feng Ziying looked at Xue Pan deeply, and then said, "Wenlong, doing things is not something you can do just by giving orders."

"How do you know your servant won't lie to you? Even if he doesn't lie to you, how do you know he really did the job you gave him?"

"If you want the people below you not to deceive you and if you want to understand their abilities, you must listen more, learn more, and ask more questions."

"Secondly, you need to arrange for someone to secretly monitor their actions. You can't just sit back and do nothing about it."

"I understand your desire to prove your ability to your aunt."

"But if you want to achieve this, it's not just talk."

Feng Ziying's words made Xue Pan's face turn red and purple.

He nodded and said, "Brother Feng, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely do a good job on this."

"Brother Feng, give me the list of raw materials you need to purchase, and I will arrange for someone to buy them right away."

Feng Ziying smiled slightly, then handed the list directly to Xue Pan.

After Feng Ziying left, several girls rushed into the house, bringing a gust of fragrant wind.

They giggled and surrounded Xue Pan.

Some people passed wine, some people picked up food, some people massaged legs, and some people massaged shoulders.

He even called him "Uncle Xue" and "Uncle Xue" and was so flattering that Xue Pan almost forgot his last name.

At this time, a girl giggled and said, "Uncle Xue, I wonder what Uncle Feng came to do with Uncle Xue just now? Why didn't he stay to drink with Uncle Xue?"

Hearing this, Xue Pan slapped his forehead and then remembered the important matter.

He stood up and said, "Master, I have something to do today. I will come back to look for you little goblins when I have time!"

Upon hearing this, several girls immediately pulled Xue Pan to their knees, bursting into tears, and unwilling to let him leave.

Xue Pan had no choice but to say: "My dearest darlings, Master Xue is reluctant to leave you, but Master Xue really has something important to do today." "You guys are all good, I will give each of you a silver ingot, and when Master Xue is free, I will definitely come to see you!"

After hearing what Xue Pan said, the women gave up.

As soon as he came out of the door, Xue Pan and his two servants came forward to greet him.

One of the servants Zhaocai couldn't help but ask: "Master, why did you come out so early today? Didn't you stay here overnight?"

Xue Pan couldn't help but say: "Stop talking nonsense. I have something important to do today. I'll leave this matter of making money to you."

"Take this list and go shopping. After you buy the things, send them to the workshop in Dongzhuang. This is very important. You must do it for me."

"How much silver do you need? Go to the warehouse and withdraw it first, and tell them it's my expenses."

Zhaocai said quickly, "Master, please rest assured. I will do my best to help you. Master, just keep an eye on me."

After saying that, Zhaocai took the list and hurried away.

After Zhaocai left, another servant asked, "Master, where are we going to play next?"

Xue Pan said calmly: "We are not going anywhere from now on. Let's follow Zhaocai and see how he buys."

"We'll just follow quietly, but if you dare to do something tricky and get noticed by Zhaocai, you'll be in danger of losing your life!"

Shitou's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he quickly said, "Master, just rest assured. I will do whatever you tell me to do. How can I disobey you?"

Xue Pan nodded, and then they followed quietly.

Not long after, they saw Zhaocai withdrawing money from the accounting office.

We first went to a flower shop, which not only sold potted flowers, but also dried flower petals.

Zhaocai comes here to buy dried flower petals.

The amount that Zhaocai bought was indeed not small. When the owner of the flower shop heard the purchase amount, he immediately surrounded Zhaocai and began to serve him.

The two talked for a while, seemingly deciding on the final price, and then the shopkeeper ordered the shop assistant to help load the goods.

Soon, after the cart was loaded, Zhaocai sat on the shaft with a smug look on his face.

He was holding a bulging knapsack in his hand, which he rocked up and down, making crisp thumping sounds.

He even muttered smugly, "That fool Xue, hey, he actually gave me a good job!"

"Just the dried petals alone cost me thirty taels of silver! If I buy all of them, I can get at least a hundred taels of silver!"

But he didn't realize that the so-called "idiot Xue" was actually not far away from him, but was hiding in someone else's stall and was not seen by him.

And what he said happened to be heard by Xue Pan himself.

Hearing this, Xue Pan was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

He ran over and kicked Zhaocai, knocking him off the shaft of the cart.

Seeing this, the coachman hurriedly stopped the carriage.

Xue Pan rushed over relentlessly, sat on Zhaocai and started punching him.

"You bastard! I'm going to beat you to death today!"

"You are the big fool Xue, you are the big fool Xue! Your whole family is a big fool!"

Zhaocai was frightened by the sudden appearance of Xue Pan. He blocked his attack and begged for mercy loudly.

But Xue Pan was so angry with him that he was almost furious. How could he forgive him?
