Chapter 3618: Being poor in the busy city and no one cares about you
Liu Mingzhi lowered his eyes and glanced at the dishes that Krich mentioned, and a faint look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Oh, no wonder these dishes look so delicious and delicious just at a glance!
It turns out that these dishes are actually delicious dishes made by my sister-in-law and nephew-in-law Tinia. I have to taste the young master.
Otherwise, I would have let down the good intentions of my two siblings."
After listening to the slightly exaggerated compliments from Mr. Liu, Krich glanced at the few dishes that could only be said to be pretty good with a strange look in his eyes, and the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.
.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say about Mr. Liu's compliments.
Just by looking at it, you can tell that it is full of color, fragrance and taste?
So what, that’s not how you praise someone, right?
Wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to at least taste the taste of these dishes first and then talk about them?
After some secret discussion in his mind, Kerridge glanced sideways at his wife and daughter-in-law, and laughed bitterly a few times.
"Mr. Liu, I like it very much. I like it very much. Please taste it."
Young Master Liu smiled and nodded, picked up his chopsticks, gently picked up a cold dish that he couldn't name, and put it into his mouth.
When the dishes came into his mouth, Mr. Liu's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded subconsciously.
"Yeah! It's delicious, it's delicious, it tastes good.
Compared with the Dalong dishes bought from Zuixianlou, the dishes made by my sister-in-law and nephew-in-law are quite different!"
After Liu Dashao finished speaking, he tasted the remaining dishes one by one.
"Well, it's delicious, everything tastes very good.
Yun'er, Yue'er, hurry up, hurry up, you all should try these Western dishes."
Qi Yun smiled sweetly and gently put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands.
"Husband, you don't need to greet me and Yue'er.
When you and Brother Creech were drinking together just now, Yue'er and I had already eaten the dishes cooked by my brother and sister.
As you said, it does have a different taste."
After hearing Qi Yun's answer, Master Liu's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"Madam, have you already eaten?"
"Yeah, I just ate it."
Young Master Liu nodded happily and picked up his wine glass casually.
"Okay, since you have already tasted it, I won't say anything more, husband.
Come on, come on, drink, drink.”
After hearing this, everyone picked up their own wine glasses and responded to Young Master Liu.
Young Master Liu put the wine glass on the table and directly picked up the pot to refill himself with a glass of wine.
"Brother Crich."
"Mr. Liu, tell me."
"Brother, while we are not drunk yet and both of us are very sober, let's continue to discuss things about the Joint Chamber of Commerce."
When Kerridge heard Young Master Liu mentioning the topic of the Joint Chamber of Commerce again, he hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and the expression on his face instantly became serious.
"Mr. Liu, please speak, I'm listening!"
When Liu Mingzhi saw Creech's sudden reaction, he chuckled and waved his hand.
"Brother, you don't have to be like this. Let's talk while drinking."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
As Krich spoke, he immediately picked up his wine glass and gestured to Young Master Liu.
"Mr. Liu, I'd like to propose another toast to you. Do it first as a token of respect."
"Hahaha, let's drink together."
After finishing the glass of wine, Liu Mingzhi put down the wine glass in his hand and took a few bites of the dishes with a slight smile.
"Brother, after I and our group return to the palace, I will directly send an order to Zhang Shuai and Nangong Shuai tomorrow, as well as many other generals, large and small, to prepare for the establishment of a coalition as soon as possible.
All matters concerning the Chamber of Commerce.
In five days at most, the matter at the Joint Chamber of Commerce will have a concrete result.
Once the detailed regulations come out, I will send someone to deliver them to you immediately.
Therefore, in the past few days, brother, you must make all preparations in advance to assume the position of president of the Joint Chamber of Commerce!"
After hearing what Young Master Liu said for the longest time, Krich was slightly shaken.
Then, he suppressed the excitement deep in his heart and nodded vigorously with a smile on his face.
"I understand, I understand.
Mr. Liu, please rest assured that I will make all preparations as soon as possible and I will never hold you back, Mr. Liu."
In response to Krich's words of assurance, Young Master Liu smiled and raised his eyebrows twice, and nodded with satisfaction.
"So good, so good"
After Liu Mingzhi sighed loudly, he directly picked up his wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp with a faint smile.
Qi Yun looked at the teacup that her husband had put down, and immediately picked up the wine flask and poured a glass of wine for Young Master Liu.
"Brother Crich."
"Excuse me, Mr. Liu, please tell me."
"Brother, in five days, I will send someone to ask you to go to the palace.
At that time, Zhang Shuai and Nangong Shuai will formally announce you as the president of the United Chamber of Commerce in the palace in front of many of the main generals of our Dalong Western Expedition Army and some of the main officials of the Great Food Kingdom.
.
At the same time, I, the young master, will also order the falcon to send a message to the great dragon generals stationed in the cities of the three kingdoms of Dashi, Tianzhu, and your Roman kingdom.
Inform them of the establishment of the United Chamber of Commerce and that you, my brother, have assumed the position of president of the United Chamber of Commerce.
As for the imperial courts of Western countries such as Persia, Prussia, White Clothes, Franks, etc.
I will ask Zhang Shuai to write a letter in the name of our Great Dragon Heavenly Court, and then send multiple envoys to visit the kings of these countries to inform them of the establishment of the United Chamber of Commerce."
As soon as Mr. Liu finished speaking, he coughed twice.
"Uh-huh, cough, cough, cough."
Immediately, he directly picked up his wine glass and took a sip of the wine to moisten his dry throat.
"Brother, you don't have to worry about the issues between the three kingdoms of Dashi, Tianzhu, and Rome.
As long as the generals of my Dalong army have read the contents of this young master's letter to them.
Everything that follows will naturally flow smoothly.
As for the other kings of the Western countries, you don’t have anything to worry about.
Zhang Shuai will try his best to persuade the mission officials sent by him to the Western countries to fully cooperate with all matters of the United Chamber of Commerce."
When Liu Mingzhi said this, he turned and looked at Zhang Kuang who was drinking and eating with a smile on his face.
"Uncle, I will leave these matters to you with full supervision. Don't let me down!"
Hearing this, Zhang Kuang hurriedly swallowed the food and wine in his mouth.
"Old minister, I understand."
Liu Mingzhi nodded cheerfully, picked up his wine glass casually, and gestured to Qi Yun, who was sitting next to him, and to Krich and Amina.
"Yun'er, brother, younger brother and sister.
Come, come, let’s have a drink together.”
Qi Yun smiled lightly and nodded a few times, then raised her jade hand and gently picked up the wine glass in front of her.
"Hey, I respect you personally."
Krich, Amina and his wife followed closely and picked up their respective wine glasses.
"Mr. Liu, we, husband and wife, will do it first as a courtesy."
"Together, together."
After Liu Mingzhi casually placed the wine glass on the table, he picked up his chopsticks with a smile and took several bites of the cold beef.
"Brother Creech, wait until all these things are settled.
In about ten to twenty days, or at most a month, all the merchants in the three countries of Dashi, Tianzhu, and Rome will know about the United Chamber of Commerce.
As for the rest of the Western countries, at most they need..."
The words in Young Master Liu's mouth suddenly stopped and he looked straight at Zhang Kuang.
"uncle."
Seeing this, Zhang Kuang blurted out without any hesitation and gave Young Master Liu a moment without any hesitation.
"Your Majesty, three months."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly with a slightly raised brow, and turned his attention to Krich with a smile.
"Brother Creech, did you hear that?
It will only take three months at most before all the other merchants in the Western Territories will know about the United Chamber of Commerce."
Krich listened to Young Master Liu's inquiry and nodded hurriedly.
"Mr. Hui Liu, I heard you."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and picked up his wine glass with a smile.
"It's good to hear it!"
After echoing, Liu Dashao raised his head slightly and drank the wine in the glass in one breath.
"belch."
Young Master Liu let out a gentle belch, chuckled and put down the wine glass in his hand.
Qi Yun smiled lightly and swallowed the food in her mouth, stretched out her jade hand to lift the wine bottle and silently refilled her husband's glass.
"Brother, regarding the matter of the United Chamber of Commerce.
Master, I have done everything I can and need to do here.
As for how you should take the road ahead, it all depends on your own ability.
Regarding this United Chamber of Commerce, I have great expectations for you, young master!
You, please don't disappoint me."
When Kerridge heard what Young Master Liu said, he immediately sat up straight, then hurriedly picked up his wine glass and gestured to Young Master Liu.
"Mr. Liu, I would like to propose a toast to you first."
"Hehehe, let's drink together."
"I'll do it first out of respect."
"call."
Creech put down his wine glass, turned around and took a long breath of alcohol, then gave Mr. Liu a serious hug and gave him a fist.
"Mr. Liu, I have the courage to say something.
As for the United Chamber of Commerce, I take it more seriously than you do.
Let me say something unpleasant. For you, Mr. Liu, the establishment of the Joint Chamber of Commerce may not be considered a very important matter at all.
However, for me, the United Chamber of Commerce is more important than my wealth and life.
Therefore, please rest assured, Mr. Liu.
After I assume the position of president of the United Chamber of Commerce, I will definitely devote all my efforts to deal with all issues of the United Chamber of Commerce."
Liu Mingzhi lowered his head and spat out the fish bones between his teeth, turned his eyes to look at Krich, who had a serious look on his face, and nodded happily.
"Brother, you are right to think so.
Come, let’s have another drink.”
"Yes, I'll do it first out of respect."
After Major Liu drank the wine in his glass, he wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth with his fingers.
"Brother, two months have passed in a blink of an eye since we first met.
After this young master and our group arrived at the royal city of Dashi Kingdom, I have somewhat heard about various aspects of your family’s business.
In the past few days, the business in your shop must have been losing money, right?"
Listening to Young Master Liu's question, Krich's body shook slightly involuntarily.
Then, he glanced at Mr. Liu who was smiling, his lips pursed as if he was trying to think of something to say.
"me……"
Krich groaned a few times before he could speak, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Finally, he nodded silently with a somewhat gloomy expression.
"Mr. Liu, I'll tell you the truth.
In the past half month, I have indeed lost a lot of money here.
If I didn't have a good brother who went all out to help, I would have really suffered a lot."
Liu Mingzhi listened to Creech's low-toned answer, and fell silent with his brows slightly furrowed.
Krich saw the change in Mr. Liu's expression, and a hint of nervousness subconsciously appeared in his eyes.
When Amina, Climmon, Kriiko, and Tinia saw this situation, they couldn't help but become nervous.
After a long time.
Liu Mingzhi reacted from the silence, chuckled and shook his head.
"Brother Crich."
Creech looked tense and responded hurriedly: "Excuse me, Mr. Liu?"
Liu Mingzhi picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, then silently let out a breath of alcohol with his lips slightly open.
"Brother, there is a saying in our Dalong community.
When you are poor in a busy city, you have no one to care about you; when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives.
This proverb means that when you are poor, no one cares about you even if you are in a prosperous city.
But when you are wealthy, even in the deep mountains and forests, people will take the initiative to come to your door and get close to you."
After listening to the proverb that Mr. Liu said and the detailed explanation he gave, Krich turned his eyes and thought thoughtfully for a moment, then suddenly slapped his hands hard.
"Mr. Liu, what you said is so right.
Real knowledge, this is really real knowledge!”
When Creech said this, he directly picked up his wine glass and drank the wine in one breath.
Then, he sighed forcefully with a melancholy look on his face.
