    Chapter 38

    Mu Wanqing bowed her head in greeting, "People from the Guo family in Jiangnan? You can call me Mu San."

    Polite but not close, with a sense of looking down from above, people can't help but feel awe.

    Guo Er was stunned for a moment, with a complicated expression, "You know our Jiangnan Guo family?"

    Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, "It was mentioned by the elders, saying that the Guo family has been engaged in business for generations, the wealthy one, all the disciples in the clan have grown, and the patriarch of this generation is even more remarkable, the size of the family has doubled in his hands, and the family The five sons are all promising, but..."

    Her comments are like a big boss, and she has a lot to say, every word is true, rather than rhetoric.

    Guo Er heard that her tone was quite loud, not an ordinary official, so he subconsciously asked. "What is it?"

    It was about his own family, of course he wanted to know his impression in the eyes of senior officials in the capital.

    Yes, he positioned Mu Wanqing as the favored young boy of the high gate of the capital, a little headstrong and a little nonsense.

    This is also the character that Mu Wanqing tried his best to create.

    Shen Yong on the side was stunned, no, how did she know so much?

    He has been in the capital for so long, and he only knows about the Guo family in Jiangnan, but he doesn't know that the Guo family has five sons.

    She subconsciously looked at Mu Er's father and son, trying to find an answer.

    However, Mu Erye and his son were also extremely shocked, and they were puzzled.

    Well, they don't know, Shen Yong's heart is a little comforted, it's not that he is stupid.

    It can only be said that the third Miss Mu family is not an ordinary person.

    At this time, Guo Er's attention was all attracted by Mu Wanqing, Mu Wanqing learned from the regretful look of the adults, shook his head and sighed, "It's all too promising, there will inevitably be some battles between dragons and tigers."

    Like a heavy stone hitting Guo Er's heart, causing a thousand waves, he knows his family affairs, and the five of them are all good businessmen and very capable.

    And the inheritance rule of the Guo family is not the system of heirs, but the ability to live in it.

    If you want to stand out and become the next head of the family, you have to go through a fierce competition.

    "what else?"

    Mu Wanqing opened her mouth, but swallowed it in time, and laughed, "I can't say more, this is someone else's family business."

    Her unwillingness to speak successfully made Guo Er's curiosity grow like a weed, and she really wanted to know what good words others had.

    He is not the eldest son, nor is he the most capable in the family, and he cannot afford to be in a lower position, but he can't help wanting to win.

    According to the rules of the family, give everyone a sum of money to go out alone, and the person who makes the most money in three years can become the next head of the family.

    In the past year, the youngest man with the most business savvy rides Juechen, which makes him feel enormous pressure.

    Mu Wanqing greeted with a smile, "Come, try my craft."

    Guo Er took a deep breath, and the fresh and fragrant smell came to his nostrils. The fish slices were evenly cut in size and thin, but the texture was beautiful and the color and aroma were full.

    He took a sip of the fish soup first, looked slightly startled, then took a thin piece of fish and put it in his mouth.

    He couldn't help but praise, "The soup base is golden and clear, and it is slightly numb when you enter the mouth, and soon there is a taste of freshness and sweetness. already."

    This sour and spicy taste is very appetizing, and the chopsticks can't stop.

    Mu Wanqing hadn't eaten pickled cabbage and pepper fish for a long time. One bite after another, her face was full of joy.

    This made the people standing on the side swallow their saliva, but they had to endure it.

    Guo Er ate deliciously, looked up to see Mu Wanqing eating elegantly and calmly, showing good dining etiquette, and believed her more and more.

    He ordered a bowl of rice, poured a spoonful of soup on it, and sipped the rice that was full of soup. He was so satisfied.

    He was full of food and drink, and then smiled, "You are from a good background, how can you have such a good cooking skill at such a young age?"

    Still in the temptation, it can be seen that he is a careful and cautious person.

    It's a pity to meet Mu Wanqing, the pretending king.

    Mu Wanqing wiped her mouth with the veil and took a sip of tea, "Who has an elder who likes food at home? I work very hard to win favor. Of course, I am talented and can learn everything quickly."

    Guo Er:  …

    I've never seen someone who talks about fighting for favor so fresh and refined, what a talent.

    Like their Guo family, no matter how hard they fight, no matter how hard they compete in private, they are too embarrassed to say it.

    In the end is young, young favored is the capital.

    "Then are you here?"

    Mu Wanqing was playing with the teacup, her brows raised, and she had a youthful spirit.

    "I want to prove to my elders that even though I am young, I am talented and capable, and I am also a good businessman."

    She smiled embarrassedly, "To tell you the truth, I have already boasted in front of my elders that I will earn 100,000 silver to go home on this trip, although it is not much, but it is the first time to do business, just pay tuition fees. already."

    Guo Er's mouth twitched, earning 100,000 yuan to pay for tuition? What do you let the loser say? Why don't you go to heaven?

    But looking at the boy with a flamboyant personality, he just swallowed the words and boasted indifferently, "You've worked too hard."

    Mu Wanqing said nonsense in a serious manner, "There is no way, the suffering now is for the sake of the drunken beauties' knees in the future, and wake up to take control of the world."

    Shen Yong's face was cracked inch by inch, it was outrageous! Outrageous!

    Did she forget that she was a daughter? Also drunk on the beauty's knees.

    He now finally knows why he was eaten by Mu Wanqing, because without her thick skin, without her, he would brag, without her, he would make up stories!

    How did the Mu family raise such a daughter?

    He looked at Second Master Mu again and wanted to ask, did you teach it?

    As a result, he saw pride on Mu Erye's face? !

    My kids are awesome, amazing, amazing, I'm happy, I'm proud, I'm proud.

    Shen Yong: ...Okay, the people in this room of the Mu family are abnormal!

    The more and more Mu Wanqing and Guo Er talked, the more speculative they became. Guo Er had completely believed what Mu Wanqing said, and treated her politely and affectionately.

    No matter how rich a rich family is, they are nothing in front of officials.

    Qian Quan Qian Quan, Quan ranks first, after having the opportunity to climb to a high-ranking official, can he not try his best?

    Seeing that the heat was almost over, Mu Wanqing spoke casually.

    "Brother Guo, let's make an order."

    "What?" Guo Er didn't understand.

    Mu Wanqing opened her innocent eyes, "Let's buy goods together. Logically speaking, the more you get, the cheaper it is, and we can be considered mutually beneficial."

    Guo Er was silent, this little guy is not ordinary naive, who would dare to make such a request? It is estimated that he does not have invitation posts, let alone the right to choose.

    To be honest, though, it didn't do him any harm.

    He intends to befriend Mu Wanqing so that he can catch up with the family behind her, "What's your budget?"

    Mu Wanqing took out a stack of silver notes on the spot, "One hundred thousand taels, how about you?"

    Throwing out a large amount of silver bills like throwing a toy, this attitude of treating money like dung further confirms her statement.

    He is indeed a little boy who doesn't understand the world. Money is not the problem, the key is to compete for favor.

    Well, it's a good thing for him, it's so fooling... No, it's so coaxing!

    A smile flashed in Guo Er's eyes, and he patted his chest to ensure that everything was on him.

    Mu Wanqing also smiled slightly, seeing that Shen Yong and his party couldn't be admired, who is the king of flickering and pretending? If Miss Mu San was the second, no one would dare to be the second!

    She solved the problem of entry tickets so smoothly, and she also had a guide who knew the way.

    In this way, Guo Er took Mu Wanqing and his party into the tea market. The tea market was very lively and crowded with various merchants.

    These are just small merchants, the real big merchants are invited into the box upstairs, one room per person, one-to-one high-quality service from the boss.

    The waiters were attentive and served the best tea and pastries.

    Idle is also idle, Guo Er is passionate about popular science tea knowledge.

    What kind of tea is best to sell, what kind of tea is best to drink, what kind of tea is popular in Jiangnan, and how to choose tea? What kind of tea is good? How to sell? All kinds of things are very clear.

    Moreover, he found that Mu Wanqing was indeed very smart, she could understand it as soon as she heard it, and she could draw inferences from other facts.

    It's too powerful to learn.

    After an unknown time, the entourage said, "Second Master, Boss Pan is here."

    "Come in." Guo Er stood up to greet him, while Mu Wanqing sat still.

    The person who came in was the tea market operator, Boss Pan, who was chubby, smiled like Miller, and looked very amiable.

    But, if you think so, you are wrong, he is notoriously shrewd.

    Boss Pan and Guo Er were old acquaintances, and they spoke casually and intimately. After a long chat, he looked at Mu Wanqing who was sitting on the side.

    "This is?"

    Guo Er warmly introduced, "Young Master Mu San from the capital, I will bring him here to meet the world."

    With a very close tone and a trace of untraceable respect, Boss Pan couldn't help but look at Mu Wanqing a few more times.

    What is the history of this? don't even get up to greet him when see him, the spectrum is big enough.

    Mu Wanqing let him look at it generously and gave a male salute, "Mu San has seen Boss Pan, how has the prefect recently been?"

    It is said that Boss Pan is the elder brother of the prefect's concubine, and he can be regarded as the prefect's brother-in-law.

    Boss Pan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Guo Er subconsciously. Is that what he said?

    Guo Er shook his head, it was none of his business, he didn't say anything, they had their own information channels.

    The origin is good, but the background is different.

    Some of the information that was discovered with great effort is only a matter of conversation after dinner for some people, and it is readily available.

    People are more popular than dead people.

    Mu Wanqing saw it in her eyes and smiled slightly, she bet right, don't underestimate the common people.

    Their news is more well-informed than imagined, and many things are just concealed.

    Boss Pan couldn't figure out the details of Mu Wanqing, but she was ostentatious enough, and her manners showed the arrogance unique to the children of high officials, so she was extremely polite to her.

    When they were talking about business, Mu Wanqing listened openly and honestly because of her young age. Who would dare to invite her out?

    Guo Er placed a large order, 10,000 catties of good tea and 50,000 catties of medium tea.

    "Little brother, how about you? Are you the same as me?"

    Mu Wanqing tilted her head and asked innocently, "Can I try them all?"

    "Okay." Boss Pan was very forthright and agreed.

    Soon, the servant brought a few pots of brewed tea, and Mu Wanqing sipped the tea cups and tasted them one by one.

    There are several kinds of tea, and the taste is different, but the same is the taste is excellent.

    As for the Chinese tea, can only say one sentence after drinking the tea, which is quite harmonious.

    The tea is not complete in shape, and the taste is a bit bitter.

    She specifically asked the price, and Boss Pan glanced at Guo Er, "Looking at Guo Er Ye's face, the price is the same."

    He quoted several prices, all of which were the best prices in the market.

    Mu Wanqing pondered for a while, "I want 1,000 catties of good tea, 50,000 catties of medium tea, and 100,000 catties of tea. Boss Pan should be cheaper."

    The tea is so cheap, it can be called the price of cabbage.

    Hearing this, Guo Eryi couldn't help but persuade, "Little brother, you don't understand, the sales of tea is not good, you think, the conditions of people who can drink tea are not too bad, most of them are not bad. Everyone buys Chinese tea, some are looking for elegance, and some are purely for face. As for the demand for tea, there is not much demand.”

    He really wanted to benefit Mu Wanqing, "Although it's cheap, it really can't be sold."

    Mu Wanqing understood all these principles, but he ignored one point. His sales were to Jiangnan City, while she was sold to border gates to do herdsman business.

    It doesn't need to be too good, just scrape the oil and reduce the fat.

    But it's hard to say, "I have my own measure."

    Guo Er saw that she was stubborn and had a headache. It is really difficult to serve children nowadays.

    If he loses money, it is estimated that there will be no future contacts.

    He also wanted to save it, "Then how do you luck? It's windy and rainy all the way, and the tea leaves are easily damp. Once it gets damp, it's all over."

    He didn't scare her, it's a fact, the profit of tea is high, but the loss on the road is also huge.

    Mu Wanqing had a strange look on her face, "What's so difficult about making tea bricks?"

    Guo Er and Boss Pan looked at each other and asked in unison, "Tea brick? What is that?"

    "You don't know? Don't you?" Mu Wanqing's eyes widened in surprise, and then she realized something, "That's probably a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation in our family, and outsiders don't know it."

    Guo Er: ... This is the heritage of aristocracy, envy.

    Boss Pan: ...the secret recipe?want to!
