People in southern Guangdong have the habit of drinking morning tea. They make a pot of tea and serve two snacks, which is known as a cup of two snacks. Sometimes they drink it until dusk, and sometimes they come once in the morning and noon, just like punching in.
Enjoy some tea to soothe your throat and satisfy your hunger, and it is full of flavor.
On the table were the Four Heavenly Kings, shrimp dumplings, steamed siomai, barbecued pork buns, and egg tarts. The two former stewards of the Zhao family were sitting across the table.
Shopkeeper Li ate a shrimp dumpling and took a sip of tea. He felt leisurely and comfortable. He squinted his eyes to enjoy the food and was very satisfied.
The muscular man sitting opposite him is called Jiang Wangsheng, and he is the talker at the lumber factory.
However, he was not so comfortable and said with a grimace: "Brother Li, are you really willing to work for that woman?"
Shopkeeper Li raised his eyes and said with a chuckle: "You just have to sell your life if you sell it to someone. Who are you selling it to?"
"No." Jiang Wangsheng didn't have such a good attitude and said directly: "But that woman came out of nowhere, why should we listen to her?"
Shopkeeper Li said: "Then why didn't you tell me face to face last night?"
How could he dare? If the other party comes up and throws two heads into the air, how can we discuss this business? Who dares to discuss it... Jiang Wangsheng was a little embarrassed and said, "Didn't I misunderstand the rumors? She is the legendary Mazu Empress."
"what about now?"
"A breath-taking woman!" Jiang Wangsheng emphasized the word "heart-stirring" and thought of her beautiful face, adding: "At the same time, she is also a woman who has brought disaster to the country and the people."
Shopkeeper Li shook his head: "You have forgotten an important point. She is a very generous woman."
He added: "For us businessmen, profit is the key. Whoever gives more will follow. This has been the principle since ancient times."
Jiang Wangsheng nodded subconsciously, but felt something was wrong: "Ninety-one points, indeed we get a lot more than before, but we have no say. What is stated in the contract and how to do it are all decided by the other party."
"Then what did you get besides that?" Shopkeeper Li reminded.
Jiang Wangsheng murmured: "A promise, a promise to be the big boss."
From being a lumberjack to today, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t excited about having the opportunity to become a boss, but!
"Brother Li, this promise is just a piece of loose sand. If the wind blows..."
Shopkeeper Li waved his hand to interrupt him and said seriously: "Xiao Jiang, you don't have to take everything too seriously. Whether it's immediate interests or long-term plans, this is a good thing for you and me. Sacrifice a little, and then
What does it matter?"
Jiang Wangsheng stopped talking and nodded thoughtfully.
Shopkeeper Li was quite pleased to see him behave like this. He saw clearly that the other party's behavior was definitely not unintentional.
To be able to come up with a letter of cooperation from Yuan Wang, this woman is definitely not an easy person.
And, more importantly, he is more curious and confident about the person he is going to meet next.
After having enough tea and food, Shopkeeper Li gave the meal money and said hello: "Let's go, let's go meet the middleman she mentioned..."
As he spoke, he looked far away through the window at the coffin shop not far away.
"It's really not that simple. You can make Boss Zhao pay the price without saying a word, but you can't find any fault with him. You should only make friends with such a young man, not offend him."
"Hey, is it true? Aren't you just buying coffins?"
…
Coffin shop.
Xu Ping was sitting behind the counter, holding a piece of rosewood in his hand, with the carving knife flying and sawdust flying everywhere.
Rosewood is also called holy sandalwood.
It has a hard texture, brilliant colors, everlasting fragrance, is invulnerable to all poisons, wards off evil spirits and cures diseases, so it is good anyway.
This piece of rosewood is still in Wang Yuanwai's collection.
"Big Lao Wang is really interesting. I'll come to help him change the feng shui of his house some other time. It's not good to keep having sex for nothing. It makes me look like a scumbag." Xu Ping muttered in his heart.
He was going to make a new shrine for Guan Erye. The previous one was destroyed when he was dealing with the God of Five Powers. The piece of wood he had was just the right size.
Xu Ping was concentrating on carving on the wood in his hand when he felt someone coming in. Xu Ping put down the wood carving in his hand and looked over.
The one in the lead was a rich middle-aged man, and the one behind him was a rough-looking man. He was wearing a short-breasted jacket, and his exposed arms were as thick as Xu Ping's.
Yours may be thick, but it's definitely not as strong as mine...
Shopkeeper Li saw Xu Ping behind the counter at a glance. After all, they had dealt with him many times, but now they had different identities. He stepped forward with a smile and said hello: "Boss Xu, how are you doing lately?"
The shopkeeper became the boss, and he was so nice to talk to.
Xu Ping came out and said with a smile: "It's not bad. Is there something going on at Shopkeeper Li's house?"
Shopkeeper Li was stunned for a moment, knowing that the other party was a little resentful, "Boss Xu, please don't make fun of me. I have offended you before, and it was all because of Boss Zhao. Why don't I set up a table at Yihong Courtyard tonight for Boss Xu?"
apologize."
Yihongyuan, I still have to go to the businessmen's entertainment... Xu Ping did not hesitate: "Okay, I will be there on time."
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Li went straight to the point: "I believe Boss Xu also knows the purpose of my visit today."
Xu Ping nodded: "Gillian told me to help her pass the message."
Gillian? Is that the kind of relationship they have... Shopkeeper Li feels the need to ask. This depends on the attitude towards getting along in the future.
"Boss Xu, I would like to ask, what is your relationship with that...?"
Xu Ping chuckled: "Guess."
Seeing his relaxed tone, shopkeeper Li was even more sure that the relationship between the two was definitely not simple, at least it was a relationship where they could sleep under the same bed.
However, how did he know that the person he was talking about was working day and night in the backyard, making coffins.
The macho man Jiang Wangsheng didn't have much at first. He felt that the young shopkeeper in front of him was really nothing special, just ordinary. He should be a follower, a manager or something like that.
But now he looked at Xu Ping with admiration in his eyes.
That female devil killed people without blinking an eye and could get her into bed, so he believed what Brother Li said. The person in front of him was indeed not a simple person.
After the two of them finished brainstorming, Shopkeeper Li's expression became more and more respectful: "Boss Xu, in this case, let's open the skylight and speak openly. I wonder what the order from the one who asked us to come over was."
Jiang Wangsheng also banged his chest and said in a loud voice, "Boss Xu, just give me your orders if you have something to do. Brother Li and I will definitely have nothing to say."
Xu Ping directly ordered: "It's very simple. The first thing is that workers' pensions should be doubled without any deductions."
Shopkeeper Li and Jiang Wangsheng were not unscrupulous people, so they nodded and agreed directly.
Seeing this, Xu Ping asked again: "Who was responsible for the acquisition of this piece of land before?"
Shopkeeper Li immediately reacted: "Boss Xu said that I am running the shops next door. Now several shops have agreed to sell and are in the negotiation stage."
"Well, let's continue with this matter and buy all the nearby shops. The coffin shop will expand its operations."
Shopkeeper Li was stunned, looked around, and frowned: "There is indeed only one coffin shop in our neighborhood, but there are also some carpenters taking over the work, but it shouldn't have such a large business volume, right?"
He expressed his doubts, and Xu Ping smiled lightly: "Who said that the coffin shop's business is limited to those around here?"
Shopkeeper Li looked stunned: "Please let me know, Boss Xu."
If the coffin business wants to enter the provincial capital, it would be relatively remote to open here, and the competition in the provincial capital is fierce, so it is not that simple.
"The dock at Longchuan River should be almost completed, right?"
Shopkeeper Li looked confused. He didn't know why he asked such a question. He nodded subconsciously: "Yes, but because something happened, we stopped now."
In an instant, his keen business sense came to his senses and he said in shock: "Does Boss Xu want to sell the coffins overseas?"
Xu Ping nodded: "That's exactly it."
If we can really open up a market, it will not be simple. We need to transport the coffins and bring back a batch of Western goods.
He instantly became excited, but an inevitable question suddenly extinguished his enthusiasm.
"Boss Xu, but we have no sales?"
Everyone knows that overseas people are stupid and have a lot of money. It is a big trouble to open up a sales channel.
But Xu Ping had already made a plan in his heart. He was inspired by it when he came into contact with vampires.
The vampire family is divided into the secret party and the devil party.
Dracula is the largest family of the Demon Party. They regard people as nothing more than grass and lower animals, and they kill them at will.
On the contrary, the Secret Party's highest purpose is to stipulate that vampires must hide in human society and must not reveal their identity to avoid causing a crisis for the vampire's survival. They are known as: escaping from the world.
The two are in constant conflict, no matter which one wants to do something, the other will definitely stop it.
Since a core member of the Dracula family is coming to preside over this human trafficking plan, the vampires of the secret party will definitely appear to stop it.
He planned to make contact with them, and while destroying the vampires of the Devil's Party, he also made contact with the vampires of the Secret Party to open up overseas coffin sales.
A powerful vampire who claims to be immortal and lies in a coffin for several years.
It is most suitable to open up overseas sales channels through them.
If that doesn't work, then ask Lao Wang to find some acquaintances in the provincial capital and hear from him that after the medicinal materials are transported to the provincial capital, some of them will be sold overseas.
Originally, under the general environment, especially under the impact of Western medical techniques, traditional Chinese medicine gradually entered a trough period, but in this special period.
Although the development of traditional Chinese medicine has been hindered, it has also promoted the scientificization of traditional Chinese medicine. In cultural exchanges, there is a trend of reverse dissemination overseas.
However, this kind of thing should be settled first. If there is a disagreement and a fight breaks out between the two vampires, that would not be good.
Xu Ping thought quickly and said, "I will handle the sales matter, you don't have to worry about it."
"The construction of the wharf and the surrounding acquisitions are what you need to be concerned about. I want to build Renjia Town into an export place for coffins."
With such a good geographical location, wouldn't it be a pity if it didn't develop rapidly.
In the past life, a small fishing village could develop into a first-tier city.
After saying that, Xu Ping lowered his head silently, Caoxian, I'm sorry!
Shopkeeper Li and Jiang Wangsheng were extremely shocked when they heard his last words. Even Boss Zhao's ambitions before were only within the scope of the provincial capital.
The young man in front of him has actually set his sights on a more distant place.
Suddenly, the two of them saw a wider world.
…
Xu Ping doesn't care about money, he has no interest in money.
Only then did he know the true meaning of Lao Ma's words. I have too much money to spend, so of course I am not interested in money.
He doesn't do this kind of thing for money.
The main reason is that he wants to completely control the Zhao family and the dock here.
He always wants to go out to find the wider world. There are not enough monsters and monsters here to kill.
What if after I leave, someone like Jack or David comes and continues to join forces with local big businessmen to engage in human smuggling business, that would not be good.
The world is huge and it is impossible to completely manage it, but there is no way such a thing will happen.
After sending the two of them away, Xu Ping continued to carve his second master Guan. For a whole day, no guests came to the door.
However, the paper figures in the backyard worked quickly and had already completed more than twenty coffins. The paper figures carried the coffins and took them to the charity village at night.
Uncle Jiu, who got the coffins, marked them one by one and planned to notify the workers' families during the day and give priority to burying the dead workers.
As for the corpses of the White Lotus Sect, especially those in red clothes, they still need to be aired to dispel the negative energy.
If after two or three days, the yin energy still cannot be dissipated, the only option is to burn the body with fire.
During the sex with Uncle Jiu, he also expressed his resentment. If this happens again in the future, he must take me with him.
Xu Pingman said yes, and he will definitely do it next time.
After leaving Yizhuang, it was dark and no one was around.
Under the starry sky, paper figures were carrying a sedan, floating one after another. Xu Ping was lying in the sedan, looking at the stars outside, and couldn't help but want to sing again, "The brightest star in the night sky, can you hear it clearly?"
Those who look up..."
"Huh?!"
As soon as he arrived at the door of the coffin shop, Xu Ping saw a woman who was completely clothed and whose face was as pale as paper. Her eyes were staring straight at the closed door. She had no brilliance at all, and her whole body exuded a cold aura.
.
Ha~
Xu Ping smiled. He didn't need to use the qi-gazing technique to see that this was clearly a female ghost who had delivered a performance to his door. This was it.
The female ghost also noticed the movement, turned around lightly, and was startled when she saw the scene of paper figures carrying a sedan in front of her.
"You, don't come over."
It is also strange these days, ghosts are scared by people.
Xu Ping jumped out of the sedan and put the sedan away. The paper figures stood behind him, like bodyguards.
"What are you doing?"
Xu Ping first crossed his path and took out his copper coin sword, always ready.
Suddenly seeing the copper coin sword in his hand, the female ghost took three steps back and her face became even paler: "I, I'm here to buy something."
"Buying something?" Xu Ping grinned happily. Are all ghosts so polite these days? "What do you want to buy?"
The female ghost's voice was cold, and she began to explain her purpose: "When I came out, I found that the coffin I was lying on was rotten, so I wanted to buy another one..."
At the end of the sentence, she raised her head and asked, "Is that okay?"
Xu Ping was skeptical, looked her up and down, and felt embarrassed about the female ghost.
"Do you have money?"
The female ghost spread her palms in front of Xu Ping and said, "Is this okay?"
When Xu Ping saw it, he cursed directly: "You think I'm stupid, you are giving paper money to dead people, I can get as much as I want."
As he spoke, the copper coin sword in his hand was already glowing with golden light.
Seeing this, the female ghost hurriedly said: "Master, I didn't do it on purpose, but I only have this money on me. How about I think of a way?"
Looking at the frightened expression on the female ghost's face, the copper coin sword in Xu Ping's hand lost its luster.
He scratched his forehead and was a little confused. You said you met a female ghost and you were quite polite, but he didn't know how to start.
Qi gazing technique.
The female ghost is surrounded by yin energy, but there is no bloody evil light, and she has never harmed anyone.
Xu Ping was silent for a moment and said, "Don't you have any relatives in your family? Can you just entrust your dream to them and let them buy it?"
"No more, they are all dead."
The female ghost's expression became dull and sad.
The family is dead... Xu Ping sighed, but before he could speak, he suddenly felt a gust of wind whistling towards him, and two figures stood in front of him.
What a mistake! Xu Ping was suddenly shocked.
They were wearing uniforms, tall hats, and an iron chain hanging from their shoulders. Each of them held a lamp, emitting a faint green light. Their facial features were sunken toward the middle, with small eyes and rosy noses. They were so ugly.
