Jade Space of Rebirth

Chapter 108 Foreign Businessman 1
As soon as the little soldier left, Li Changqing immediately called the master to discuss, and told what happened just now, the master's face was also depressed when he heard the words.There are a hundred people sent by the imperial court this time, and now they are asking about the camp, so it is inevitable that they will not come to ask for food next time!
It's just that the real situation is not known yet, and the two dare not jump to conclusions.

But when it comes to the tent, I can't help but worry again. The reason why Li Changqing has a good reputation in Teng County is nothing more than his reputation of being honest and upright, so he has no other income in these years except his own salary, and the taxes he usually collects The money is also handed in layer by layer. If there is any spare money, it belongs to the yamen. Some time ago, I sold mountain money, but it doesn’t matter if the money is embezzled temporarily. If these hundred people really need to provide food as they guessed, then it is really not enough!
I couldn't help but feel depressed, didn't it mean that the imperial court had allocated the silver taels?Is it just that the bridge builders don't care about the food and lodging of the soldiers?
It's just that no matter what the two of them think, this must be done.

On the same day, Li Changqing called the yamen's arrester to go to the street to buy things. Master Li was doing the accounting in the county yamen, and Li Changqing was watching from the side. When more and more money was needed, his brows were frowning so much that he was about to pinch mosquitoes to death.

In the end, after calculating all the things they needed, they both fell silent when they saw the large sum of money...

"Sister Zhi'er..."

Tang Zhi came to Qiguofang after school, but Mrs. Cao didn't see it, but saw the small figure squatting beside the counter.

After Li Wei called out Tang Zhi who came in from the counter, he lowered his head again with a gloomy expression, circling and circling his hands in front of him, looking very unhappy.

Tang Zhi didn't see Cao's figure on the left or right, only Chuntao Chunliu was there, so she must be busy.

"Li Wei, why did you come here to find me?"

Li Wei didn't come to see her for several days, and Tang Zhi was puzzled by his sudden return.

Li Wei had a sullen face and said nothing, Tang Zhi couldn't help looking at him, "Li Wei, are you okay?"

"Sister Zhi'er, my father... my father hasn't eaten all day, and my mother is worried that she won't be able to eat, and I am also worried!"

"What can you go without eating for a day? The county government is too busy?" Thinking of the character of career, Tang Zhi couldn't think of any other possibility except this one.

But Li Wei shook his head, "I don't know what it is, but I heard mother said it's because father has no money!" Li Wei said hesitantly.

Eh?No money?

Don't eat for a day because you don't have money?Of course Tang Zhi would not believe this explanation, probably because Li Wei didn't hear it clearly.

Tang Zhi's impression of Li Changqing was very good. If it was someone else, Tang Zhi really didn't want to ask more questions, but since he was someone who helped him, he naturally couldn't ignore it.

Fortunately, Li Wei didn't know everything. Under Tang Zhi's pressure, he still narrated the whole thing intermittently.

"Uh...the bridge builders from the capital, your father wants to set up a tent for them?" Tang Zhi repeated with a strange expression.

Li Wei didn't notice Tang Zhi's expression, but just nodded, "There is no money in the yamen, and father's salary is small, and there is a lot left after setting up the tent, and I have to buy bedding, mother said I don't know Time to buy food!"

"Why do I become more and more confused the more I listen?" Tang Zhi felt that things were so weird. The people from the capital wanted to be entertained by the county magistrate. What are you worrying about as a master?Still don't eat for a day?

"I know about the people coming from the capital. Everyone is spreading rumors that they will arrive within a few days, but they all say that the emperor allocated the silver taels. It's not Teng County's turn to take care of this matter? Didn't the county magistrate say anything?"

"My father doesn't know either!"

"No... I mean, did the county magistrate not say anything? Didn't your father ask?"

"My mother can't do anything about my father!" Li Wei was also puzzled by Tang Zhi's question, why did his father want to ask, and who to ask?
Why can't I tell you clearly?Tang Zhi also asked a little messy.

Looking at Li Wei's inexplicable little eyes, she always felt that it was wrong to talk to him, so she didn't ask him at all in the end.Regardless of whether the master is too fraternal or what, since he is worried, let Aunt Cao ask, no matter what, I am busy with my family, if he is in trouble, Tang Zhi doesn't mind shedding blood .

And Li Wei mentioned this obviously only to let Tang Zhi know that there was such a thing, and he didn't think about talking about it in depth, so he was almost squatting alone worrying about it.

Tang Zhi, on the other hand, looked at Li Wei's worried little figure and felt deep sympathy. She had an adult soul so she cared about her family in everything, but Li Wei was really an eight-year-old child. Knowing that she was worried about her parents really made her feel ashamed, after all, she probably wouldn't have thought about it when she was so old.

In the end, in order to comfort Li Wei, Tang Zhi also stayed in Qiguofang for half an hour, using various words to persuade her, and finally saw Li Wei smiling.

"Sister Zhi'er, I really want to be with you every day!" Li Wei, who had recovered, looked at Tang Zhi with bright eyes and said these words.

"You can come to my house every day, so I can see you after school, can't we be together every day?" Tang Zhi said with a smile.

"But I'm talking about every moment, I like sister Zhi'er!" Li Wei's eyes lit up even more.

For Tang Zhi who completely regards herself as an adult, the word 'like' has no effect on Tang Zhi at all, she subconsciously treats Li Wei as a child, and nods imitatively after hearing his words , without the slightest twitch, "I like you too!"

The reason why Tang Zhi was able to say such words so smoothly is inseparable from the few months of her life here. For her, it is no longer difficult to pretend to be tender and mature. That will definitely kill everyone's heart , so wide that it is beyond comprehension.

It's just that little girl Li Wei didn't have such an open-minded idea. When she heard that sister Zhi'er also liked her, she immediately blushed. Looking at Tang Zhi's eyes is called "lingering".

It's a pity that Tang Zhi, who thinks her senses are sensitive, is paying attention to her own shop at the moment. After coaxing a child, she is looking at her shop now, and she is rating Chuntao Chunliu's service attitude in her heart. While thinking about whether there is anything to be improved in the shop, she ignored the little eyes that frequently cast glances at her side and went to the distant Pacific Ocean.

After waiting for a while, Mrs. Cao didn't come to the store. She felt that she had delayed long enough. Tang Zhi persuaded Li Wei to go home quickly, saying that she was going home too.

Li Wei felt a little bit reluctant to leave when he was in a better mood, but he knew that Tang Zhi was going home, so he said goodbye.

It's just that before leaving, Tang Zhi insisted on stuffing him with a lot of fruits, all of which were new varieties bought by Qiguofang recently, because Tang Zhi gave them to Li Wei, who liked them very much, and went home happily.

Tang Zhi said goodbye to Chuntao and Chunliu again, and told them to help inquire about the people who came from the capital. Tang Zhi was worried that she would forget about it when she went back!
Chuntao said she would take her home and Tang Zhi refused, and when she got out of Qiguofang, Tang Zhi went to Yumantang!
Yu Mantang went to a lot of foreign businessmen a few days ago. This was entirely due to the workers Tang Zhi asked Feng Ke to hire to "advertise" on Tengxian Avenue. Feng Ke began to doubt whether such an approach would be useful. Later, after selling a lot of jade because of this, it became the main marketing method.

It may be because every businessman is used to paying attention to his opponents. Yumantang welcomes so many customers uncharacteristically. After this method, other jade shops followed suit. When Feng Ke knew it, he was angry and had no choice.

When Tang Zhi came, Feng Ke was introducing Yumantang's new products to the guests. They were all carved out of jade from Tang Zhi's space. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell the difference at a glance. He won the prize, and he was pulling Funk to discuss the price.

Tang Zhi didn't want to hinder Feng Ke from greeting the guests, but he didn't expect Feng Ke to have good eyes. He saw it as soon as Tang Zhi came, and even smiled respectfully at Tang Zhi in front of the guests, and yelled, " Missy!"

Feng Ke didn't do this in the past, but today is so abnormal, in Tang Zhi's opinion, there must be a swimsuit, so she couldn't help raising her eyebrows, Tang Zhi didn't dislike him, and walked over leisurely.

Funk called out "Miss" and made the two people in front of the counter turn their heads at the same time. They were two middle-aged men, both of whom were relatively affluent, wearing square hats. people.

In Feng Ke's introduction, Tang Zhi also naturally knew the identities of the two of them--businessmen.

It seems that they came from the capital city, and came to Teng County after walking for more than half a month. It stands to reason that there are already so many jade shops advertising, and it is unlikely that they will be able to come to Yumantang. Overheard a conversation in a tea shop.

The person who was talking was someone who had bought jade at Yumantang, because Feng Ke wanted these foreign businessmen to buy more jade, so the price he gave was quite low, but the quality of the jade with the low unit price was not bad, and it could be sold with that quality. Turn it over several times.

It was also that those few people couldn't hold back their joy and chatted on their own. It happened that the two of them heard it, so they secretly wrote down the three words 'Yu Mantang'.

However, they wanted to come to Yumantang, but the two of them were not stupid. They first walked around all the jade shops in Teng County and finally came to Yumantang, and found that the jade here was really amazing. Recalling that the people in the tea shop said that they would come back to purchase, they asked the unit price, but they didn't expect the price to be really low, so they decided to buy a large batch.

It's just that a businessman wants to get a cheap price and occupy a large quantity. The two tried their best to get Funke to give the lowest price.

You must know that the unit price of each variety of Yumantang's jade is set by Tang Zhi. It stands to reason that the price cannot be easily lowered. After all, their unit price is already far from that of their peers. If it is spread, it may be plotted against.

However, the quantity mentioned by the other party is too tempting. What Feng Ke thought was that since he is a foreign businessman, if he can do this business, he was hesitating. He didn't expect Tang Zhi to come. It started with the scene where he took the initiative to greet Tang Zhi.

Only now did Tang Zhi understand Feng Ke's intentions. Although there were some things she didn't say clearly, Tang Zhi still understood the general idea from Feng Ke's intentional or unintentional disclosure.

And the two businessmen were not indifferent when they saw Tang Zhi, they said that the children of the owner's family were clever and lovely, and Tang Zhi was also willing to accept the compliments for themselves, and accepted them one by one with a smile.

Since I am a child, it is up to the child to deal with things.

Seeing Feng Ke's eyes begging for help, Tang Zhi nimbly climbed onto the stool at the counter, looked at the jade they liked, and found that the variety was not high, guessing that the two should take advantage of the difference in the jade to go back and sell it Good price, after all, jade is too expensive, and not many people buy it, so it is naturally the best choice if it looks like Tang Zhi, which is not bad, and the price is special and low.

Tang Zhi touched her chin with her small hand, and looked at the two with dark eyes, as if hesitating in the eyes of outsiders.

The two businessmen also saw the way, and kept saying good things to Tang Zhi. After all, they were trying to make money, and the words were worthless. Both of them were in business, and the words that came out of their mouths were better than the words.
