Seeing his sister being beaten, Qian Tong sighed: "Second brother, don't be so angry. Yun Rou is disobedient, but she will get married sooner or later. Why are you angry with her?"
Qian Cheng sneered and said: "Brother, what you said is very light. If you don't study, how can you know the difficulties of us students. With such a sister, do you know what they say about me? What do they say about our Qian family?"
"It doesn't matter if my parents don't discipline me strictly, but if they let her talk back to me, who is she?"
Qian Tong wanted to say more, but his wife pulled him back and kept silent.
Qian Xing slammed the table suddenly, and the loud sound startled Qian Cheng.
He looked at his second son gloomily and said angrily: "What is your attitude? No matter how bad Yunrou is, she is still your sister. You can just hit her. She was the one who made the rude remarks first. But who do you think she is? Then what do you mean by her?
What are you?"
"I sent you to study so that you could fill your belly with ink and make a difference as soon as possible. I didn't ask you to come back and pretend to be an uncle with me!"
Qian accepted the lesson, felt angry in his heart, and said angrily: "Dad, do you know what to say? If you hadn't asked your sister to go to the Lu family to do bad things, our Qian family would have to do some wedding cake business now, and it depends on the Lu family's face, what else?"
The Lu family will definitely be willing to help me with my admission to Fengqi Academy."
"Now, even the old gentleman in the school knows that our Qian family has offended the Lu family, and he is unwilling to recommend me."
"In Fengqi Academy, among the students who have signed up for the quiz, there are even candidates. I am not even a scholar. If it doesn't matter, how can I get in?"
After all, it was Qian Yunrou who had affected his future.
Qian Xing regretted that his recklessness had caused his daughter to get into trouble, but the matter had already happened, so the only solution was to solve it. What's the use of complaining all the time?
What's more, if the second son had the ability, he wouldn't have to rely on the Lu family's connections to attend Fengqi Academy.
Qian Xing glared at his second son, then looked at his honest eldest son and said, "You tell me."
Qian Tongtong: "Our Qian family started out by making pastries, and our craftsmanship is not bad. We make it well and the price is fair. I don't believe the Lu family won't choose us."
"Besides, a man like Mr. Lu, who has to meet so many important people in a day, would remember the petty grudges of our Qian family?"
"According to me, you should make wedding cakes seriously and set the price fairly."
When talking about the price of the wedding cake, Qian Xing immediately became sullen.
The price of Qian's wedding cakes has always been higher than those outside. He has been doing this for decades. If the price is to be reduced, how can the business still make money?
Qian Chengdao: "Why would the Lu family care about the wedding cake money? If they want to make it for our Qian family, no matter how noble they are, they will be willing to buy it."
Qian Xing said with a cold face, "Tomorrow's quotation will be the same as usual, there is no need to deliberately lower it."
After Qian Tong heard this, he sighed.
The Lu family's business is big business, and his father and second brother obviously want to follow the Lu family's path. In this case, why are they still reluctant to lower the price?
Qian Tong's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Chai, said: "Dad, I shouldn't talk too much, but since Qian Tong and I got married, you have given us a shop. I am grateful to you."
"Whether our family can do the Lu family's business actually depends on dad's attitude. Our pastry shop has made a lot of money over the years. Our bakery is more expensive, so not everyone can buy it.
Gradually it became famous. But now there are more pastry shops. Because of Fengqi Academy, so many restaurants were opened in Wuxi County at once, and even more than a dozen gold shops were opened. I believe my father also saw it.
."
"To put it bluntly, with the influx of outsiders into Wuxi County, whoever's pastries are delicious or cheap will definitely buy from that one. When other pastry shops become famous, the business of our Qian's pastry shop will definitely be
It will be affected. Since the Lu family has already asked about the wedding cake ordering, dad also knows that the Lu family is not short of money, but not short of money does not mean that they are fools. What if the Yang family gives them a lower price? Dad thinks
How will the Lu family choose?"
"In my opinion, firstly, as Qian Tong said, we make good pastries. Secondly, we lower the price a bit, not all of it, but only for the Lu family, and we only need 60% of the silver."
After Mr. Chai finished speaking, Qian Tong quickly nodded in agreement: "Dad, Xiaomei is right. We charge 60% of the silver and still make some profit. We can also let the Lu family see our sincerity, which is already good."
Qian Xing frowned. What he had in mind was that the minimum charge would be 80%, which was a 20% discount for the Lu family.
Over the years, even the Qian family has kept this price at his place. This is how the Qian family cakes became famous, so the price cannot be lowered.
He thought for a while and said: "20% off, tomorrow's quotation will be 20% off."
Qian Tong wanted to say more, but Qian Xing said impatiently: "How many years have I been in business, how many years have you been in business?"
"It's easier to lower prices than to increase them. Just listen to me and make the cakes. I'll deliver them myself when the time comes."
Qian Tong thought to himself, he didn't know if the Lu family would agree?
Mrs. Chai sighed secretly. Her father-in-law was too arrogant. The success in the first half of his life had made him forget that when asking for help, he should not have this attitude and should be more sincere.
The Lu family is not short of money, but the Lu family has a bad impression of the Qian family. At this time, the 20% discount is a profit for the Qian family, but this profit has all the pastry shops in Wuxi County trying to give it away. If
If everyone really depends on their ability, how can they get the Qian family's turn?
What's more, by accepting this order, the Lu family owed the Qian family a favor, and even the Lu family would not do it!
"Qian Tong, we should have done what dad said."
Mrs. Chai grabbed her husband, and the two of them quickly went back.
Mrs. Ma knew that her eldest daughter-in-law was a tolerant person, but she couldn't help but intervene today, so she said anxiously: "How about we just listen to the boss and take 60% of the silver?"
Qian Xing said displeased: "What do you know? 20% off is already the lowest. No matter how low it is, there is no profit left. It's better not to do it."
When Ma heard this, he didn't feel like saying anything anymore, so he could only nodded.
Qian Xing thought, the person who came to inform him was a servant of the Lu family's old house. But the place he was asked to go to was Xiuli Villa. What does this mean?
It means that the two elders of the Lu family have agreed to give this business to their Qian family, but they just want him to go to Xiuli Villa to report to Wang Xiu.
No matter how powerful Wang Xiu is, his parents-in-law will always give him face.
No matter what, he and Lu Shouchang were equals, so Wang Xiu still called him Uncle Qian.
Thinking of this, Qian Xing fell asleep peacefully.
But before going to bed, he remembered what his daughter said about knowing Ji Yunwei, and he immediately started making calculations in his mind.
That Lu Yunhong was henpecked and did not dare to take concubines. It was of no use to him to have a daughter.
But Ji Yunwei was different. He hadn't gotten married yet, and his parents were in the capital. If something happened to a girl's family, even if she couldn't marry, she would still have to take her into the family.
Thinking of this, Qian Xing couldn't help but curl up his lips, turned to his wife and said, "Have you said anything about the marriage I asked you to tell Yun Rou before?"
Ma said: "I asked a scholar from her uncle's family and I already have some clues."
Qian Xing immediately said: "Don't respond yet, I can still use her by keeping her."
After hearing this, Mr. Ma quickly stood up and said, "Master, what do you want to do? Yunrou is a fool, and she doesn't have the temperament to be a noble lady?"
Qian Xing said displeased: "She can't be a concubine if she can't be a lady? If she's not a housekeeper, how can she manage a man??"
Ma: "..." She wanted to say that her daughter probably didn't know how to do it.
But seeing her husband's cold eyebrows, she endured it and just sighed.
"You can do whatever you want. Yunrou is not just my daughter anyway."
After Ma finished speaking, he lay down and turned over, not wanting to pay attention to Qian Xing.
Qian Xing glanced at her back and quickly withdrew his gaze.
The emperor's favor I felt in the Lu family was so great.
That kind of lofty feeling made him intoxicated, and also gave him a desire for power and identity.
Ji Yunwei was the son of the then Minister of Household Affairs, and his status alone made him much more noble than Lu Yunhong.
If he became Ji Yunwei's father-in-law, even Lu Shouchang would be respectful to him. Thinking about that feeling is so refreshing!!
Unknowingly, Qian Xing had planned his daughter's future and decided to train her well so that she could make the greatest contribution to the prosperity of the Qian family.
