Three hundred and ninetieth chapters pearls as fish eyes
It was easy for Chen Yu to follow the villain's path and leave the villain with nowhere to go. After all, in front of Mrs. Cui, her own identity overwhelmed her. Mrs. Cui did not have the quality of being neither humble nor arrogant.
Yes, why fear it?
Old Mrs. Cui awkwardly took the handkerchief and pressed her forehead: "It's really impressive to see each other after three days apart. When Xiang Jun called me my wife, my sister was very frightened. As for the clothes, they are casual. I only need a few tips."
Just one.”
"No need." Chen Yu said with a smile: "In business, the rules set back then are also rules. Moreover, we have a close relationship. Although it is a bit far-fetched to say that we can't distinguish between you and me, we can make money from each other's business.
I feel very comfortable, what do you think, sister?"
"Yes, yes." Mrs. Cui was completely confused by Chen Yu's attitude. She opened her clothes and randomly picked out a few not-so-good-looking ones.
Xunmei took off the clothes chosen by Mrs. Cui. Chen Yu glanced at them and felt disdainful in his heart. If Cui Xiaoyi hadn't suddenly made a comeback, he would never have come to Huizhou Mansion for the time being.
After chatting for a while, Mrs. Cui invited Chen Yu to visit. After all, it was Chen Yu who sent the greeting card.
"In addition to meeting my elder sister, I also want to see the customs and customs here when I come to Huizhou Mansion. Since the old sister is here, I won't bother you at the mansion." Chen Yu told Xunmei to go ahead and arrange the table.
Come here and entertain Mrs. Cui here.
During the dinner, Chen Yu and Mrs. Cui chatted about the products of Huizhou Prefecture, which embarrassed Mrs. Cui. She was sure that Chen Yu would never come to visit the mountains and rivers, but all Chen Yu asked were irrelevant.
Until Mrs. Cui left the inn and went back, she was so dizzy that she couldn't think of a single thought.
After Mrs. Cui left, Liang Yijin and Leng Xiang came back one after another.
"Mrs. Su, this Huizhou Prefecture is a very wealthy place. No wonder so many people are coming here. Businessmen from other countries are arriving one after another. These people will not leave until the end of September. The sea is very rough in July and August, so it is not advisable to go far.
Okay." Liang Yijin said this and looked at Chen Yu: "What do you think Mrs. Su should do next?"
Chen Yu asked: "Have you ever seen the ships of foreign merchants?"
"I saw it. The ship is bigger than I have ever seen. It has two and three floors, and sails are hung on the masts. We don't have this kind of shipbuilding technology in Dai Viet. I really don't know what Fan Bang is like.
"Liang Yijin said.
Chen Yu lowered his eyes and saw that the iron wood on Laojun Mountain did not move. The main reason was that he felt that such wood was perfect for shipbuilding, whether it was a merchant ship or a warship. So this time he came to Huizhou Prefecture, he really wanted to see these things.
For Fanbang’s ships, it would be best to have a picture of the ship.
"Since this time has arrived one after another, there should be a chamber of commerce, right?" Chen Yu asked.
Liang Yijin nodded: "Indeed, but there are not so many goods to be transported over there in the capital. The Chamber of Commerce is afraid that only people from around Huizhou Prefecture will come."
This is absolutely correct. Lecheng Mansion is adjacent to Huizhou Mansion, let alone far away places. We have not seen any foreign goods in Qingniu County. The Cui family is most likely behind this unusual situation.
The flow of goods from other countries means that the Cui family in Huizhou Prefecture is really smart, and its business strategy is monopoly.
"Let's not be in a hurry. Let's go shopping together tomorrow. There is enough time, so there is no need to rush for success." Chen Yu said.
Before Liang Yijin left, Liang Ziqian had told her many times that Mrs. Cui must be the person in charge when she went out.
So Chen Yu said she was not in a hurry, but she really wasn't in a hurry. At least for now, whether the transaction was successful or not was all the Su family's, and the Qingniu County Yamen transaction would still take some time.
There are so many admirable things about Chen Yu, so she made up her mind to learn from Chen Yu's skills.
After Liang Yijin left, Chen Yu called Leng Xiang.
"What news did you get out of today?" Chen Yu asked.
Leng Xiang lowered his head and said, "I went to the dock first. The Cui family on the other side took all the familiar foreign merchants to Chunhe Lane. Some of the foreign merchants who came here for the first time lived in Wanghai Tower."
Chen Yu asked: "Chunhe Lane is a place specially designed for foreign merchants to live?"
"Yes, the Cui family occupies the eastern half of the city. Chunhe Lane is also the place where the Cui family belongs. The owner of Wanghai Building is surnamed Xue, and he is the mother-in-law of the Cui family's second room. The Tongfu Building we live in was originally near the sea, but was later squeezed out.
We’re here at Licorice Lane." Leng Xiang said.
Chen Yu could hear the dissatisfaction in Leng Xiang's tone, and said calmly: "Can you draw a map of Huizhou Prefecture?"
"Yes, I will draw it right now." Leng Xiang agreed immediately.
Chen Yu sat beside him with his eyes closed to relax, while Xunmei waited on him.
After almost an hour, Lengxiang finished drawing the map of Huizhou Prefecture.
Chen Yu saw more intuitively the distribution of the entire Huizhou Mansion. It is separated from Tongfu Tower by Poseidon Street, and to the east is the Cui family residence. The area is really large, and a quarter of the east city is occupied by Cui Mansion.
Chunhe Lane is in front of Cui Mansion, across Taihe Road, and beyond is the sea. Behind Tongfu Tower is Licorice Lane. Behind Licorice Lane are some small merchants and ordinary people. In front of Tongfu Tower is Taihe Road, and further on.
There are also small traders and ordinary people living in front of it. Across Yuanbao Lane is Wanghai Tower. Although Wanghai Tower does not occupy the same area as Tongfu Tower, its location is too superior, close to the pier.
There are two wharves in Huizhou Prefecture, one large and one small. The big wharf is used by foreign merchants, and the small wharf is in Xicheng, where local people go fishing.
Compared with the prosperity and prosperity of Dongcheng, Xicheng is much poorer. Many ordinary people also gather in Xicheng, as well as some small traders who have no business. Taihe Road runs through the entire Huizhou Prefecture, and Ping An is far away from Xicheng and Poseidon Street.
street.
To say that the Cui family is powerful, the most powerful thing is that the government office of Huizhou Prefecture is not in the bustling East City, but on the west side of Ping'an Street in Xicheng. There are two mountains further to the west. The mountains of Fu'an Mountain go all the way to the sea, and there are many islands and reefs there.
, and Qilin Mountain, which is adjacent to Fu'an Mountain. Qilin Mountain houses the largest temple in Huizhou Prefecture, the Tanah Lot Temple.
After reading the map of Huizhou Prefecture, Chen Yu rubbed his forehead. In the huge Huizhou Prefecture, the Cui family was like a web of spiders shrouded in their own rights. If it hadn't been for years of hard work, there would be such a scene. No wonder Jiu
The prince has put so much thought into it after he came here once. This meat is too fat! The Cui family is too caring!
"Is the Cui family's weaving and dyeing workshop over there in Fu'an Mountain?" Chen Yu asked.
Only then did Leng Xiang realize that she had forgotten this, and quickly said: "Yes, the weaving and dyeing workshop is located near the sea, and there is a lake formed by mountain spring water over there.
Chen Yu nodded: "Which mountain has more tea trees, Fu'an Mountain or Qilin Mountain?"
"Qilin Mountain, because the Temple of the Sea is a plaque inscribed by the emperor, the Cui family does not dare to touch it. The tea is grown by poor people, so this tea is nothing special." Leng Xiang said.
Chen Yu smiled, there is nothing special about tea? It turns out that the Cui family also used pearls as fish eyes!
