Two quarters of an hour later,

Zhao Xian's carriage drove outside the central tent of the Daqin military camp. Without warning, he arrogantly walked into the central tent with his nostrils turned upward.

He glanced at Wang He and Wang Jian who had been waiting here, sitting on one side carelessly, and said with a solemn expression: "This old guy Zhao She is really difficult to deal with."

"I originally wanted to break his state of mind, but this old guy was too loyal to Zhao Guo. Although he was shaken a little, his state of mind has never been broken."

Wang He took a sip of wine and said calmly: "Master Xian, do you know that this action tonight is very dangerous for Master?"

"If Zhao She kills me regardless of the consequences, I can still look up to him."

Zhao Xian crooked his nose and said disdainfully: "It's a pity that he is now a sick tiger who looks forward and backward. I, the Qin Dynasty, will win this battle."

After hearing this, Wang Jian's eyes lit up with a light: "Young Master Xian, what is Zhao She's strength?"

Zhao Xian shook his head helplessly and said: "It seems to be innate, but if the four legendary realm servants outside me join forces, there is only a 30 to 40% chance of killing him."

Hearing the words,

The light in Wang Jian's eyes quickly went out, and he sat alone and drank.

On the other hand, Wang He laughed: "Zhao She was shaken by the young master, which is also a happy event. The young master showed his strength and returned safely, which is a double happiness. I would like to drink a glass to the young master."

This time Zhao Xian restrained his arrogance and said extremely seriously: "General Wang, do it."

…

at the same time,

Xianyang.

Luo Gao, who has become a kitchen steward, braved the snow and rushed into a shop...

"Is there any charcoal?"

As soon as Luo Gao entered, he kept rubbing his hands and went to the stove in the lobby to keep warm.

The shop owner took one look at Luo Gao's clothes, his eyes lit up, and he hurried to Luo Gao's side and said respectfully: "What do you call me, father-in-law?"

"You talk a lot of nonsense."

Luo Gao turned around and glared at the opponent, casually throwing his badge to the opponent.

Seeing the scarlet scar like a centipede on Luo Gao's face, the shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat, but he still subconsciously took the waistband.

"Huh? The head steward of the kitchen in Xianyang Palace..."

Seeing the badge, the shopkeeper hurriedly sent it back respectfully, bowed like a slave and said: "It turns out to be a senior executive. I wonder what the senior executive needs when he comes to Xiaoren's business?"

"It's freezing cold, and the kitchen needs to purchase a large amount of charcoal. Our family has made a lot of money, but none of them are eye-catching. Take out the best charcoal you have here."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly went to the wooden shelf on one side, took out the top charcoal and said: "Senior manager, this is the best charcoal in our company. It only costs 30 yuan per pound, and 3,200 yuan per stone.

"

The units of measurement in this era were somewhat different. One kilogram was equivalent to sixteen taels in later generations, and one stone was equivalent to one hundred and twenty kilograms.

"Thirty dollars per pound?"

Luo Gao frowned slightly, looked at the other person with a cold face and said, "Are you so easy to deceive when you think I'm the manager?"

"Hey...high-ranking officials go slowly. Isn't this the external price? If high-ranking officials require a lot of things, it can be cheaper."

The shopkeeper knew that this was a big customer, but he was not sure about Luo Gao's details, and the purchase of things in the palace was usually a matter for the internal affairs officer, so the purpose of Luo Gao's arrival made him a little suspicious.

After grabbing Luo Gao, the shopkeeper said: "I don't know how much it costs to be a senior manager. If you want more, I can apply like above."

"Um."

Luo Gao looked at the other party expressionlessly after hearing this: "I want one hundred stones first, and I will ask for it tomorrow. Go and ask how much is the lowest price."

"Also, don't think about fooling me. You are not the only one selling charcoal in the city."

When the shopkeeper heard about the hundred stones, his face changed slightly, but when faced with Luo Gao's threat, he said calmly: "The senior management is joking, but the villain will not dare to fool you."

"Come, please come in and invite the steward. I have prepared some fine wine for the steward. Please go to the inner room and wait for a while."

As the shopkeeper spoke, he pointed to the booth on the right rear side of the counter, with a flattering smile on his face.

one hundred stones,

For a business like theirs, it is not a big business. Whenever the nobles in the city buy charcoal, it is not a purchase worth hundreds or thousands of dan.

What he was interested in was Luo Gao's identity.

How could a kitchen manager go out of his way to buy charcoal?

After inviting Luo Gao into the VIP room, the shopkeeper left his men to watch the store and hurriedly left in the wind and snow.

Half an hour later,

The shopkeeper led a young man in his early twenties with a thin face and sinister eyes into the VIP box.

Faintly,

Luo Gao actually felt a little bit of hostility in him.

But when the other party saw the scarlet scar on Luo Gao's face, a flash of fear suddenly flashed in his eyes.

The shopkeeper bowed and said to Luo Gao: "Executive manager, this is Li Liang, the young boss of our company. Regarding the price, the manager has to discuss it with the young boss."

Li Liang?

After looking at the target in front of him, Luo Gao lowered his head and took a sip of wine to cover up the flash of joy in his eyes.

"You go down."

Li Liang said to the shopkeeper without looking back. After the door of the VIP room was closed, he sat opposite Luo Gao and said with an arrogant expression:

"I admire the senior executive who can surpass the internal affairs officer and take over all affairs in the kitchen."

a short time,

Li Liang had already found out all about Luo Gao, and then decided to come and see him in person.

Luo Gao put down his wine cup and pretended to be cold and arrogant: "We have been waiting for so long and don't have much time to talk nonsense with you. Let me quote you the lowest price."

Looking at Luo Gao in front of him, Li Liang looked aloof and said: "Twenty-five coins per catty, three thousand coins per stone."

"Higher."

Luo Gao looked at the other person with squinted eyes and said expressionlessly: "Two thousand five hundred dollars per stone. You have to know that the kitchen in the palace uses charcoal not only in winter."

Li Liang looked displeased and said: "...Two thousand five thousand, the company has no profit."

"Then there's nothing to talk about."

After hearing this, Luo Gao stood up and walked straight outside, but just as he was about to open the door, Li Liang suddenly said: "That's it, two thousand and five is just two thousand, just think that I can make friends with the manager."

"Okay, I will send it to the Xianyang Palace kitchen early tomorrow morning. Remember to write down one stone and three thousand two hundred yuan when reporting the bill. The excess will be converted into silver. Do you understand?"

"Understand."

Li Liang looked happy when he heard this, but added: "But the manager, our company only has fifty stones of top-quality charcoal now. If the manager wants it, I have a good friend..."

Luo Gao deliberately said with a dark face: "There are not so many, and it is a waste of our family's time. Take our family there."

Li Liang said with a smile: "The steward is here, please."

Soon after,

Luo Gao left in Li Liang's carriage outside a store on another street. At the door of the store, Qi Li stood side by side with another young man.

"Li Liang, I've given you face, can you tell me the reason now? What's the use of a eunuch in charge of the kitchen?"

Li Liang glanced at the other party, leaned over and whispered: "Jiang Jian, don't tell me that I am a solitary person. I heard that Zhao Qingyun, who is next to King Qin, values ​​him very much."

"And this person is greedy for money. People who are greedy for money have always been the best to deal with."

Whoosh!

Hearing this, Jiang Jian's eyes suddenly flashed with light, and then he patted Li Liang on the shoulder and said excitedly:

"Don't leave tonight, I will arrange the best wine and the best singer to entertain you."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

As Jiang Jian and Li Liang spoke, they returned to the shop with their own thoughts.

For Luo Gao,

They think they have countless means to manipulate each other.

Greedy for money?

What they don’t lack most is money!

Sure enough, within two days, Luo Gao became brothers with the two of them, and Jiang Jian and Li Liang also found out all about Luo Gao's details.

What Luo Gao had done reached Zhao Qingyun's ears immediately, which made him take another high look at Luo Gao.

…

soon,
Chapter completed!
