After Cao Yi sent the VIP card to Mr. Lu and Kuang Gong, he was left with a pair of bowls and chopsticks beside them.

"Boy Zhaozheng, how did you come up with this idea?" Kuang Gong shook the Tianzi VIP Card in his hand and asked with a smile, as if he had already seen the usefulness of the VIP Card for Zuixian Tower.

"Fan Li, the sage of the Shang Dynasty, once said, 'What is valuable is like dung, and what is cheap is like pearls and jade.' I deeply agree. Since ancient times, people have loved to take advantage of small things. In some aspects, it is true that small profits can only be achieved by selling more, and it seems drunk.

Xianlou suffered a loss by giving free VIP cards to everyone present. In fact, Zuixianlou made a profit." Cao Yi took a bite of food and continued: "If a person has two choices at the same time, one without any discount,

One of them has a big discount. Regardless of which one is better for now, when the two are similar, you will still be more inclined to go to the restaurant with the discount. Moreover, people have the subconscious tendency to compare and show off, well, it is potential

I have the idea that if there is a gathering of talented people for a banquet, and I take out this VIP card when I check out at Zuixianlou, I can earn some face in front of my friends. Isn't it a good thing? If I am happy with the meal, I can go back and write some poems.

Song Fu, it would be better to do another promotion for Zuixian Tower. Of course, there are still many benefits, so I won’t list them all here. I hope Mr. Lu and Mr. Kuang will take care of them."

"You kid, I knew it wouldn't be that simple." Kuang Gong smiled and pointed at Cao Yi.

Cao Yi filled both Mr. Lu and Kuang Gong with green lotus wine, and the three of them drank a glass. Mr. Lu asked from the side: "Zhao Zheng, since you just said, 'Small profits can lead to more sales,' why is this Qinglian wine?"

Is it a limited supply, and you still need this VIP card to purchase it?" Mr. Lu is a learned person after all, and he usually doesn't pay much attention to other things. Moreover, in the era of the Great Yan Dynasty, the status of merchants was still relatively low, so for these little business tricks

Naturally, I don’t have much contact with them.

"Mr. Lu, although small profits can lead to high sales, it is only for ordinary items. But if it is a rare item, it means that rare things are valuable. Jiangning is full of dignitaries and famous families, and there are also countless merchants and wealthy families. In fact, these people

When buying items, they often only choose the expensive ones, not the right ones. As long as the item makes them feel that they are superior to others, or more noble than others, and have face, they will often spend money to buy it. What others don’t have, I have,

This is the truth that people are better than others." Cao Yi explained.

"Boy Zhaozheng... you are so cunning! But this business path is just a trail after all. You have extraordinary talent and literary talent. With such talent, you should be familiar with the books of sages. Obtaining fame is the right path. Don't go astray..." Kuang Gong said at the side

.

No matter how wild and uninhibited the mad father was, he still could not escape the category of literati in this era. All literati generally had the idea of ​​worrying about the country and the people. Acquiring articles and martial arts and selling them to the emperor's family were undoubtedly things that no longer needed to be discussed.

From these contacts, from the original "Autumn River Flower Moonlight Night" to "Shui Tiao Ge Tou", to today's "Drunken Flower Yin", "Ding Feng Bo" and many other poems, there is no need to discuss Cao Yi's talent and learning.

But judging from Cao Yi's actions and conversations in the past, it seems that he didn't take his talents seriously at all, or that he didn't take his fame seriously, but was more interested in some heresy. This has changed from brewing new wine in a restaurant to researching it to satisfy the desire of the tongue.

This can be seen from the creation of stir-fry cooking to the earlier farming events.

Originally, with Cao Yi only being fifteen years old, it would be a good thing for him to be exposed to more things and he would always return to the right path. However, Cao Yi is so evil that he feels that no matter what he does, he can do extremely well.

If you go further and further in some aspects, wouldn't it be that you have gone astray? Since the mad man said these words with such an attitude, in fact, he had already truly cherished his talents and wanted to bring Cao Yi back out of chaos.

.

Mr. Lu was also looking at Cao Yi at this time. He also wanted to see how Cao Yi would answer. In fact, Mr. Lu was more worried than Kuang Gong. Once Jiangning Academy had opened the door to Cao Yi, he could enroll without taking an exam.

If it were a normal student, he should have come to report early, but Cao Yidian has been avoiding it and has not come to school yet. Moreover, judging from the last conversation, it was the pressure from the Korean lady that only agreed to come to Jiangning Mansion to study.

, if not, it is very likely that you will not come to school and do other things.

"Uh... Mr. Kuang, Mr. Lu, and the younger generation naturally know the good intentions of the two of you and their expectations for me. It's just that I still have more than four years before I become a crown prince. I originally thought that I would just be a rich young man in these few years.

, don’t think too much about fame and fame, and try everything. As the saying goes, understanding of worldly affairs is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings is article. Only by trying more can you increase your life perception and life experience. In this life now,

I'm quite satisfied. In the past, I didn't bother with the reputation of the stupid son of the Cao family. I just did my own thing. What's more, now I still have the false praise and false reputation of Jiangning's most talented man. What will happen in the future?

I haven’t thought about it clearly now, but it’s just Kuang Gong, Mr. Lu’s good intentions, and the juniors are also aware of it, and will always bear it in mind.” Cao Yi spoke sincerely and answered the two elders seriously, sincerely and magnanimously, and his temperament was indeed true.

As he wrote in "Ding Feng Bo·Chongyang", he is broad-minded and calm, detached and free, not limited to one thing

"It's a good saying that knowing everything about the world is knowledge, and understanding people's feelings is knowledge. Since you already have your own plans and plans, we won't say more." Mr. Lu nodded lightly.

Afterwards, Cao Yi stood up and went over to the group of talented people to chat and laugh. As a master, he couldn't stay by Mr. Su's side and ignore his peers over there.

Kuang Gong looked at Cao Yi who was mingling with the talented man over there, and said to Mr. Lu: "We all ignore the fact that he just tied his hair when he was only fifteen years old, and he still has a child's mentality. Think of "Ding Fengbo·Chongyang",

I took the entire article of "Climbing the Mountain in Nine Days" by Du Mu and revised it. I must have just read it on weekdays and treated it as a casual game. He has such an amazing talent for poetry, but he can put it wherever he wants.

On the other hand, he put his mind on the path of business and cooking... Hey! Forget it, as he said himself, it will still take a few years to reach the peak, but in the past few years, Lu Gong, you have to keep hammering.

Yes, Cao Yi is just too lazy. I can’t say too much, but as the direct lecturer and supervisor of Jiangning Prefecture, you are still his teacher in name. If you are not strict in teaching, you are lazy as a teacher. In the end, you are such a good person.

Miaozi, if it is destroyed in your hands, it will really be stabbed in the spine, hahaha..."

After the mad man said this, he started to gloat over his misfortune, and he had a bad taste like a fellow Taoist who would die if he was a poor Taoist.

Mr. Lu smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said: "Last time I went to visit the Korean lady, I heard from her that originally Cao Yi was not so indifferent and even a bit of a playboy. But later he got a serious illness and did not speak for a year.

He was silent, as if he had forgotten all memories and looked on coldly at everything."

"The first thing I said was to read a book. I locked myself in that room and read for more than half a year. I read there, ate there, and slept there. It got to the point where I forgot about food and sleep. I must have

In my heart, I still like to read some collections of classics and history, but I am still very playful when I am young. If I am interested, I like to delve into some minor details, which is not harmful." Mr. Lu stroked his long beard and continued.

"Cao Yi's temperament is not bad. You see, he is not a dandy at all. He is just cold-tempered. If the restaurant hadn't opened today and others came to cheer him up, he would definitely not chat and laugh with those people.

, It's not that he is so arrogant, but he himself feels that it would be more interesting to do other things instead of dealing with these talented scholars." Kuang Gong glanced at Cao Yi in the crowd and said.

Mr. Lu thought for a moment, then laughed to himself: "There is no need to think too much about this matter. Since we already know his thoughts, we will see how Cao Yi will develop in the future."

Kuang Gong nodded and said yes, "It means Cao Yi likes to think about some heresy, otherwise how would we be able to eat and drink such fine food and wine."

Picking up the wine cup in his hand, he drank slowly and tasted it carefully, "Mr. Lu, you said before that Cao Yi is also very proficient in talking with his hands. In addition, calligraphy has already entered the hall. Isn't he a master of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea?
