Chapter 364 The right move is just around the corner
In the evening, Lu Fang and Zhu'er arrived at Ningyuan County on horseback.
Go straight to the store.
Fu'er was looking at the shop at the counter. When she saw Lu Fang and Zhu'er, she was overjoyed and said, "Master, you are back."
Then he shouted to Zhu'er: "Sister Zhu'er!"
Then he hurriedly walked out of the counter, blinking at Lu Fang with bright eyes.
Lu Fang smiled and said: "I just rushed back."
"I'm going to ask my mother to cook two more dishes!"
Fu'er said quickly and ran towards the backyard again.
Zhu'er smiled at her back and said, "Fu'er, I'm going home to eat."
Fu'er turned around and curled her lips and said, "You should go back after eating here!"
It's a bit coquettish.
Zhu'er could only nod.
Lu Fang looked inside the shop.
There are not many goods placed in some cabinets anymore.
It seems that the business of Bestore has been good for more than half a month.
Although he doesn't care about the profit now, the real meaning of Bestore is not to make money.
On the counter to the left of the door, there are more than a dozen jars of wine.
Qingxi Brewing.
I guess Qingxifang is also on the right track.
That guy He Zhigao is quite reliable.
"Master."
Fu'er quickly ran out again, holding tea in her hand, and came to Lu Fang, "Some goods in the shop are about to be sold out."
"I'll show you the list."
After Lu Fang took the teacup, he walked to the counter again, opened the drawer and took out the list.
Lu Fang couldn't help but feel a little funny.
This girl seems to be telling herself how serious she is about managing Bestore.
But when I received the list, I was a little surprised.
Fu'er is not a diligent girl, but she does care about BESTORE.
There are dozens of items listed on the list, and the details of how much is left in stock are written at the back.
The inventory of a dozen items has been exhausted.
He nodded, "I'll go get some supplies tomorrow."
Fu'er only smiled and asked again: "Master, Sister Zhu'er, how many days will you stay in Ningyuan when you come back this time?"
Zhu'er looked at Lu Fang.
Lu Fang said: "I should stay for two days!"
If you want to "buy goods" for Bestore, you have to go to Qingxifang, and you also have to go see Wang Sidong, Lao Wang and the others. Most importantly, you have to go to Tanzhou.
Two days are indispensable.
Fu'er was a little disappointed, "I'm only staying for two days..."
Lu Fang chuckled, "How can a little girl like you be so comfortable?"
In fact, there is nothing wrong with going back to You County.
However, he has never been a person who likes to stay outside. In the final analysis, where his family is, his roots will be there.
In his previous life, he had wandered enough.
Accompanying Fu'er's parents and younger brother at Bestore, Zhu'er went home, and Lu Fang also left Bestore and drove to the county government office with several jars of Qingxi brewing.
If you want to go to the county government office to pay respects to Lao Wang or Lao Deng, you have to bring something to County Magistrate Zou. It’s not strange for people to pay homage to others. Lu Fang understands this truth.
When I arrived at the county government office, the government servant at the door had already gone on duty.
Lu Fang went directly to the backyard, took out two jars of Qingxi Brewing from the carriage, and walked in. Zou Yi and his family were eating in the dining room.
Mei'er and Ning'er are waiting nearby.
"Master!"
Seeing Lu Fang appear outside the door, the eyes of the two women were slightly bright.
Lu Fang blinked at them and looked at Zou Yi, "Magistrate Zou."
"Brother Lu Xian!"
Zou Yi stood up quickly and went to the door, "You're back again."
Lu Fang smiled and said, "I'm going to Tanzhou, so I'll come back and have a look."
Then he handed two jars of Qingxi Brewing to Zou Yi, "Magnificent Zou must not dislike the wine produced by Qingxifang."
"I don't dare, I don't dare."
Zou Yi said repeatedly: "Now Qingxi Brewing is very famous in our Ningyuan! It's hard to find a single wine!"
He was not polite to Lu Fang either.
He invited Lu Fang inside with the wine, "Brother Lu Xian, have you had your meal?"
Lu Fang nodded, "I've eaten."
Then I couldn't help but ask: "Is it difficult to buy Qingxi Brewing in Ningyuan now?"
When he was at Bestore, he saw more than a dozen jars of Qingxi Brewing placed next to the door.
"I have never bought it, but I heard that only a dozen jars are sold in your shop every day, and there are many people queuing up early in the morning. If others want to buy, they have to go to your Qingxifang to find someone familiar with it.
Talent can do it. Even so, it is difficult to buy. Several people in our county government asked me to find the shopkeeper of your wine shop, but I refused." Zou Yi said with a smile.
Lu Fang was a little surprised.
It turns out that Qingxi Brewing is so popular now.
Did he just catch up? Did He Zhigao just deliver the goods to Bestore?
Then he chuckled and said: "From now on, Magistrate Zou, if you want to buy Qingxi Brewing, just ask someone to say hello to He Zhigao."
"Thank you very much, dear brother."
Zou Yi cupped his hands and said.
As a county magistrate, he probably has his own path to pursue.
I didn't go to He Zhigao before because I was afraid of losing face. Now with Lu Fang's words, I no longer have this worry.
Let alone being far away now, in Ningyuan alone, it is definitely a matter of honor to be able to carry Qingxi Brewing as a gift.
Lu Fang paid tribute to his wife again, and then said to Zou Yi: "Master Zou, you continue to eat, while I go to see Mr. Wang and Mr. Deng."
"good."
Zou Yi nodded.
Then he said: "I will no longer be polite to you, my dear brother. You can treat this place as your own home."
Lu Fang nodded to Mei'er and Ning'er and went out.
Go to the carriage and pick up four jars of Qingxi Brewing, and go to pay your respects to Lao Wang and Lao Deng.
Returning to Zou Yi's courtyard, Zou Yi had already eaten and was waiting for Lu Fang in the main hall.
Lu Fang walked over and sat down, and asked, "Xian brother, is there any progress in suppressing bandits?"
"Almost all the bandit leaders in You County have been executed. Only the Red Lady from Hutou Mountain is left, and she left You County with her bandits." Lu Fang said with a smile.
"oh?"
Zou Yi couldn't help but feel moved, "Have you wiped out the banditry so quickly?"
Then he said: "It seems that I want to congratulate your brother. Now that you have made great achievements in suppressing bandits, moving to the right is just around the corner!"
To move to the right means to be promoted.
"Hopefully!"
Lu Fang said: "It was Pan Nanzhang, the governor of Jiedu, who forced my brother to go to You County. Although the bandits have been successfully suppressed now, who knows whether he will cause trouble again."
Zou Yi's face became a little solemn, "You can just say this to me, but don't say it in front of outsiders. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will offend Master Jiedushi again."
Lu Fang nodded, "I know."
Zou Yi was obviously thinking about him.
"What about yourself?"
Zou Yi asked again: "Are you planning to take the imperial examination this year? How did you do in the children's examination?"
Lu Fang chuckled and said: "There should be no problem in the child test."
"That's good."
Zou Yidao: "If you can be selected as a candidate, then you two brothers may be officials in Tanzhou at the same time, which will be a good idea."
Lu Fang just nodded perfunctorily.
Which one of them will become an official in Tanzhou?
He didn't think about it.
Having learned from Lu Liang's mistakes, he now feels a little disgusted with officialdom. Although he has face, he has to be cautious and play both sides, always feeling that the gains outweigh the losses.
