Chapter 56 Time flies
"The Taoist Master's tea is beautiful, with a strong and sweet fragrance, and a clear soup color. It smells fragrant. Although it tastes bitter at first, after a moment, I suddenly feel the fragrance and the aftertaste is endless. It is definitely not a thing in the world. It can be ranked among the immortal tea... I wonder if I can give you a secret method of refining tea?" Fatty Zheng said in a compliment. With the idea of tea, Manager Qian noticed the difference between this tea.
Before, because Fatty Zheng was in a quarrel, Manager Qian was afraid that Zhang Xuanqing would change his mind and hand over the wine business to Fatty Zheng. After all, he had tasted the wine, which was definitely far more than most of the wine now, and he could not tolerate the duck flying. Therefore, he was full of thought on the wine, and he didn't even drink a sip of the tea brought by Liu Shenwei, so he naturally couldn't find the difference between the tea.
Now, after being reminded by Fatty Zheng, Manager Qian finally discovered that the tea leaves here in Zhang Xuanqing were very different from the tea cakes he knew.
It not only maintains the shape of the tea leaves, but also has the aroma after brewing, but it is not comparable to the kind of tea cooked with salt and onion. Just as Fatty Zheng said, this kind of tea can be called immortal tea.
What's more... this kind of tea is still the work of a real "immortal"!
When Manager Qian thought of this, he couldn't help but feel even more excited. He was so anxious to come here, but he had a relationship with wine, but more so he wanted to establish a good relationship with Zhang Xuanqing. Unexpectedly, there were unexpected gains here, so he argued with Fatty Zheng: "I said Brother Zheng, when doing business, you should come first and then come. Master Zhang first looked for our Zuixianlou, but you made a cross halfway. Isn't this a bit unrighteous?"
"Shopkeeper Qian's words are wrong!" Fatty Zheng smiled and retorted: "Business, business, business, and buying and selling things to make a living. The Zuixianlou of Manager Qian's wealth is abundant and he has no worries about food and clothing. But I wasted my business because of the dog's son's affairs and suffered losses. I hope that Manager Qian will be kind and leave a way out for me. I am grateful to you here!"
Manager Qian was almost angry at him when he heard this. The other party said that his wealth in Zuixian Tower was real, and that he was abandoning his business because of his son's affairs, but he had lost too much money... He can't take it seriously.
Thinking of it, he couldn't help but retort: "Brother Zheng, don't joke. Who doesn't know about Huayuan County? Your brother Zheng is the richest businessman in the county. Not to mention that his son has been sick for a few days. Even if he is a sick person all his life, it is impossible... it is impossible..." Finally, he suddenly discovered his own words.
Fatty Zheng was extremely furious and slapped the table: "Shopkeeper Qian, I respect you brother, but you want to curse my family Heng'er. Did you think that I, Zheng, can be bullied?"
Zheng Heng is the only son of Fatty Zheng.
Manager Qian's face changed slightly. He had indeed made a mistake just now. He quickly stood up and bowed deeply: "Brother Zheng, don't blame me. I am unspeakable. I will definitely come to the door to apologize in the future and let me deal with it."
"Hmph!" Fatty Zheng snorted coldly and ignored it.
Seeing this, Zhang Xuanqing hurriedly smoothed out and said, "Brother Zheng, don't be upset. According to my opinion, Manager Qian is indeed quick-talking for a moment, and it is definitely not intentional offense. Enemies should be resolved rather than made up. Both are businessmen. Businessmen pay attention to harmony and wealth. Don't ruin your past friendship because of a misunderstanding."
"That's right!" Fatty Zheng's face cleared a little, and he turned his head and said, "Shopkeeper Qian, for the sake of Master Zhang, Zheng will not care about you. I just hope that Storekeeper Qian will pay attention when speaking in the future, otherwise not everyone will forgive you!"
Manager Qian smiled bitterly: "Brother Zheng said that Qian was wrong today." Thinking of giving the other party such a handle, the other party was afraid that he would catch it and laughed even more bitterly.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuanqing suddenly said: "Since both of you want to do tea and wine business, I have a way to achieve the best of both worlds, that is, I wonder if you can agree."
"Master Zhang, please speak quickly." Manager Qian was shocked.
Zhang Xuanqing smiled and said, "Since ancient times, business only has the word "cooperation". I heard from Brother Zheng that you have a brewing workshop, and the two of you come here to compete together, Zuixianlou must have other channels for wine access. According to my opinion, it is better to do this. Brother Zheng and Zuixianlou each provide the venue materials, brewing and making wine, and the two jointly operate it... It seems that the Zuixianlou is only Huayuan County, the shopkeeper Qian? It is better to take this opportunity to expand, open a branch, or recruit 'second-level agents' to spread the stall. In this way, it seems that the interests are divided equally, but in fact the interests are like snowballs, which are getting bigger and bigger. The ones that fall into the hands of both of you will only be more than before, and not less than before. What are the two of you? "
"What is a second-level agent?" Manager Qian was confused, and Fatty Zheng was also puzzled.
Zhang Xuanqing actually didn't understand this thing. It was too troublesome to do business and was not suitable for him. Fortunately, he had a clever mouth, and he praised him, and drew a big cake for Fatty Zheng and Manager Qian, and told them to listen to his own words. Finally, he said: "...not only the wine business, but the tea business can also be done according to the same thing. To be honest, I can't tell you that this tea has nothing strange except the method of making it. If you want to talk about the best tea in the world, there are also West Lake Longjing, Xinyang Maojian, Junshan Yinzhen, Dongting Biluochun, Wuyi Dahongpao, etc. If the two can cooperate, recruit people, and work together to make the tea, they can promote the world faster and seize the market. Of course, if the two are unwilling, they can also discuss and separate the tea and wine business. I will give you the same."
"The Taoist Master's intention is very good, very good!" Manager Qian praised repeatedly, as if he could gain a great advantage.
Originally, in ancient times, people did not pay attention to any contract, but rely entirely on favors, reputation, etc. Because Manager Qian made a mistake before, if Fatty Zheng was holding on, in Manager Qian's heart, Zhang Xuanqing would probably have given the business completely to Fat Zheng, which would be a loss.
On the contrary, if Fatty Zheng disagreed with Zhang Xuanqing's proposal, it would be possible to eat these two businesses by himself. However, Fatty Zheng just pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"As the Taoist priest said, it is..."
The next specific cooperation method is not Zhang Xuanqing. No matter how Fatty Zheng or Manager Qian divides the money, Zhang Xuanqing can sell the tea and wine, and it was Liu Shenwei's instigation. So Zhang Xuanqing simply asked Liu Shenwei to talk with the two, and he became the boss.
But what he didn't expect was that after several people discussed how to cooperate, Manager Qian went home by himself, but Fatty Zheng stayed.
Zhang Xuanqing couldn't help but be surprised: "What else does Brother Zheng have?"
Unexpectedly, Fatty Zheng stood up and bowed deeply. Fatty Tuotuo's body was wearing luxurious silk, but he looked very funny, but he looked serious: "Master Zhang, in fact, Zheng does not dare to make money from Taoist priest. After all, if it weren't for Taoist priest, my son would be unable to survive. If I dare to make money from Taoist priest, wouldn't I be worse than a beast? But I was afraid that the shopkeeper would be ungrateful and maliciously suppress the price, and called the Taoist priest to suffer losses. So I followed him with shame. Now that the business has been negotiated, Zheng would say something else, which would appear to be a villain. Zheng could only guarantee that Zheng would not take any profits from tea and wine, and would give it to the Taoist priest. I hope that Taoist priest will repay his kindness with all his heart!"
This surprised Zhang Xuanqing for a while. He didn't expect that among the merchants, there were people who didn't love money. But when they looked back, the other party seemed not to love money. He smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, don't be polite. Since the business has been negotiated, you should do whatever you want, otherwise the shopkeeper Qian would still think that we would cheat him together. Originally, I handed over the tea and wine business because of Shenwei, the kid, didn't think about making money with it, but just made up for the expenses of the clinic."
Liu Shenwei smiled embarrassedly, and Fatty Zheng wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhang Xuanqing: "Brother Zheng doesn't need to refuse, just do whatever I say, do what I should do. No matter how much it is, it is easy to make people confused. Instead of taking advantage of it now and getting hurt in the future, it is better to clearly separate the interests from the relationship now. Moreover, Brother Zheng has such an idea today, which is a human relationship. Besides, if Brother Zheng is gone, he can't continue to do this business... Well, that's almost the same."
After much persuasion, Fatty Zheng was sent away. Zhang Xuanqing ignored Liu Shenwei's entanglement and handed over all business matters to the other party. He continued to learn divination skills with Master Yuan Tiangang.
In the blink of an eye, autumn passed and winter came, the cold wind was blowing through the bones, and the leaves were falling. It took Zhang Xuanqing a total of more than half a year to the Tang Dynasty.
Because of the two businesses of tea and wine, life in the clinic is getting better and better. Even if Sun Simiao is often overwhelmed and does not charge money for medical treatment, the clinic will not lose its source of income. He eats well every day and wears well. He even hires an old lady who cooks.
You should know that it was Liu Shenwei's business before, no matter how much money you earned was, he even had to go to the mountains to collect herbs by himself. Since the tea and wine business, at least the medicinal materials needed had never been short, and I don't know if this is a kind of improper job.
Of course, the changes in the clinic are not just that. With the arrival of Yuan Tiangang’s master and apprentice, the clinic has another business in addition to seeing a doctor to save people - face-to-face fortune telling!
Among them are the reasons why Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are unwilling to eat and live for free, and the reasons why Zhang Xuanqing wants to practice fortune-telling.
Therefore, the strangest clinic in history was born in Huayuan County. It can’t help but cure diseases and save lives, and can also tell fortunes, guide people, and solve their worries.
As a result, Zhang Xuanqing's medical skills and arithmetics grew rapidly. No matter what his three numerology or plum blossom heart, they gradually entered the hall and understood it. As for modern time and space, they were very calm.
There are so many books in the world, especially fortune telling and reading phenomena, which are even less rare. Zhang Xuanqing did not intend to combine foreign tarot cards, astrology, etc. to create a fortune telling method. The reason why he was so interested was that no one would raise money in the future. Therefore, after reading the existing fortune telling books he could find, he stopped running to the library.
At most, sometimes I study psychology books and add more chips to my "calculation" technique.
