"Young Master Wan, you are finally here." As soon as Grandma Li saw Wan Lei, her fat white face smiled like a flower. Even the title was changed, from Little Brother Wan to Young Master Wan.
.
This time, Wan Lei did not go to Siyiyuan because Grandma Li had set the transaction location in a teahouse called Taste of Life. She also booked two adjacent private rooms, and the two parties talked through the partition.
It's like a meeting with a spy.
Grandma Li did all this to avoid suspicion. Although she had heard about the second young master of the Li family who suffered under Wan Lei, she was still timid and fearful and did not dare to contact Wan Lei blatantly to avoid being exposed by the Li family.
Er Shao is apologetic. After all, she is just a small businessman and cannot afford to offend the officials.
Wan Lei didn't take it seriously. After all, the other party was his business partner. He also hoped that the other party could do business safely. He said: "I came naturally because I said I would come. How about it? The business is not bad."
"Business is not bad, Wei'er is still obedient, right?" Grandma Li asked with a smile.
"Not bad, not bad. Although it is a bit expensive, he is quite well-behaved." Wan Lei smiled slightly. He knew better than anyone else that cheap goods are not good, and good goods are not cheap.
"Sir, what are you talking about? My Wei'er has never ordered anything red, so the price is naturally higher than those that have been ruined. I am only willing to change hands because the master is a generous person.
"Mama Li said with some dissatisfaction. In fact, Wei'er has always been her money-spinner. She had long planned to hold an auction and find a high-stakeholder to sell Wei'er's first night, but without her, a man ran out halfway.
The second young man of the Li family ruined all her good deeds.
But then again, if there hadn't been such a mess, she wouldn't have "hooked up" with Wan Lei and embarked on the sunny road of abandoning prostitution and becoming a good person.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Today I brought twenty-four kilograms of goods, including ten kilograms of secretly fragrant snow and fourteen kilograms of sweet-scented osmanthus. Can you get rid of them?"
"Yes, yes, of course. No matter how much goods there are, I can sell them." When he heard that there were goods, the old madam smiled broadly and said: "Young Master, you may not know that your magical facial cream has spread throughout Beiping City.
Mr. Zhou, the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, also came to see me and said that he wanted to give away a few kilograms, and I was worried about this matter."
"Haha, Mr. Zhou is really courageous. It costs a few kilograms at a time. I'm afraid he has a lot of aunts in his family." Wan Lei laughed. His product had entered the officialdom, and he was naturally happy.
"Young master, you don't know. Mr. Zhou has a niece who entered the palace and chose a concubine. He prepared this for her." Grandma Li smiled mysteriously.
Wan Lei was also an understanding person, and said happily: "This is a good thing, Nanny Li, tell him, let him wait a few more days, and I will give him something better."
Even though Fu Cheng and Yi Cheng are both prime ministers, Fu Cheng is Fu Yin's adjutant, with a rank of fourth rank, and can be regarded as a high-ranking official. It is absolutely right to make friends with him.
"Is there anything better? Master, why didn't you tell me earlier? It would be unethical to hide it." The old madam became anxious.
"Mother Li, the things that are offered as tribute to the palace cannot be the same as those sold to ordinary people. They have to be specially made to show sincerity. Don't worry, I will make a complete set for you within two days.
, there are facial creams, hand creams, lipsticks, hair waxes, and eyeshadows, so just prepare a delicate little box and put all these things in it. When Mr. Zhou sees it, he will definitely praise you for your ability to do things."
"Wow, I say that Mr. Wan is a straightforward person. I didn't expect that Mr. Wan is so attentive. I admire him. If this errand is completed, the money you owe me will be a lump sum purchase and sale." Aunt Li was overjoyed.
Although she is greedy for money, but now that she is in sight of getting rich, she naturally doesn't care about the little money.
But no, if you run the cosmetics business in the palace, you will become a world-famous imperial merchant. It is really difficult not to make a fortune. Besides, whether to make a fortune is still a trivial matter. Make friends with the concubines in the palace and serve them well.
I'm sorry, I'm afraid it won't do any good if I ask them to blow some air on the emperor's pillow from now on.
Wan Lei is not as ambitious as Grandma Li. Ever since he learned that he was offended by the emperor's son, he has only wanted to make a fortune quietly. Of course, it is also a good thing to make friends with some ministers. They can also take care of them when something goes wrong. After all, the world
It's dangerous. Running naked is too dangerous.
The two sides discussed some details of the transaction, and Wan Lei handed a piece of paper full of words to Grandma Li and said: "Please help me purchase these things and have them delivered to Changping Station. I am in a hurry to use them."
, with them, I can expand production."
Aunt Li glanced at it and saw that what was written on it were bottles and jars and other containers and some simple wooden furniture. They were not hard to find, so she agreed and then asked: "Master,
When will the delivery come next?”
"The day after tomorrow, if things change, it will be the day after tomorrow, and the shipment volume is basically the same as this time." Wan Lei put down the goods, collected ten taels of silver, and stood up to leave.
"Then you have to be on time. I've been looking forward to your arrival." The old madam sent the person out like a god of wealth with a smile on her face. She waited until Wan Lei had gone far before she checked out and left, instructing her servants to leave.
Carry the goods back to the store.
These twenty kilograms of things were originally worth hundreds of taels of silver. Wan Lei only wanted 10 taels of silver, and the rest was all used to pay off the debt. After all, it didn't cost much to buy some food. You know, silver is hard currency, and one tael of silver is not worth it.
It's just a month's worth of food for a middle-class family. Ordinary people can be considered rich if they have more than ten or twenty taels of silver in their hands.
According to this standard, Wan Lei can be considered a rich man. Although he still owes others hundreds of taels of silver, it is not his personality to be frugal and he still spends the money he needs to spend happily. Besides, making money
Isn’t it just for the flowers?
No, as soon as he had some spare money, Wan Lei went to the market and went shopping like crazy. He bought a lot of chicken, duck, fish, meat, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and piled it directly on the carriage. He spent a total of four to five taels of silver.
, the sloppy Taoist priest who was accompanying him saw him, and secretly cursed this kid for being a prodigal.
But for all the scolding, this sloppy Taoist priest was also a meat-and-wine Taoist who did not abstain from eating meat and fish. He ate as much of the meat and wine as Wan Lei had given him.
After buying things, I drove back to the south. I didn't encounter any more soldiers blocking the road along the way, because the army had already moved out, and the soldiers had already left Yanshan and marched towards the Mongolian Plateau. The people in Beiping Prefecture still couldn't get rid of it, and the people still couldn't.
The grain transport team must be used to transport grain northward in a steady stream.
Along the way, Wan Lei looked at the ordinary people pushing the grain carts and couldn't help but frown: Hey, ordinary people's life is really hard. None of the so-called great achievements are based on the common people.
