Chapter 16 - Brother Wei
Xiao Zhang carefully said a number: "One thousand taels?"
Cao Ding shook his head reservedly: "Guess again."
"It won't be eight hundred taels, right? Forget it, eight hundred will do."
"No, you can't guess too high. If I take action, you're still afraid that those good things won't be sold."
Xiao Zhang pursed his lips: "Then one thousand two?"
"You have a good guess."
"You'd better just tell me how much it is."
Cao Ding chuckled, made a sign of one, and then made a sign of six.
"Tell you, one thousand six hundred taels."
"so much?"
"Ang, I couldn't sleep after I got home yesterday, so I went to sell your rock candy to those distinguished disciples. Good guy, the supply exceeds the demand. You gave me those bags, and they were sold out before I even went to several stores.
"
Xiao Zhang suddenly became excited.
Is this thing so popular?
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhang also understood.
In this world, cooking is all boiled in salt water, and snacks and cakes are almost non-existent.
These noble children basically have nothing to pursue in their daily lives except walking dogs, fighting cocks, and bullying men and women.
Although rock sugar is simple, it can improve their long-term monotonous taste.
For a time, Xiao Zhang keenly grasped the business opportunity.
Food desert? Isn’t this a good time for you to show off?
As a good boy who grew up in a foodie country with a history of five thousand years, Xiao Zhang has his own unique thoughts and opinions on eating and drinking.
If you bring the eating and drinking patterns from your own world to this world, wouldn’t that make you money?
If you have money, what can you do if you want to do it?
Relying on your own understanding of various types of knowledge, it is just around the corner to transform the world.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhang's eyes lit up.
Cao Ding was still talking over and over about the supply of rock candy, and asked Xiao Zhang if he still had it.
"Cao Ding, I thought of a good business that could make a lot of money."
Cao Ding exclaimed and looked at Xiao Zhang in astonishment: "What?"
"You just come with me."
"No, I just sent you the money from the sale. I still have to go to the Guozi School to take classes."
"Why go to a bad place? Lu Boming's level cannot teach you a genius. Come with me, I will help you make money."
While talking, Xiao Zhang didn't give Cao Ding a chance to refuse. He put on his clothes haphazardly and led him out of the Xiangdong Palace.
…
"Idiot, what on earth do you want to do by leading me around in circles?"
On the street where people were coming and going, Cao Ding asked curiously, and at the same time he said: "It's almost time. I have to go to Guozi School quickly. Otherwise, if my father finds out, he will whip me when I get home."
Xiao Zhang curled his lips: "Look at your potential. After you make a lot of money and go home, you will throw the money in your father's face. He will beat you? If he doesn't provide for you, I will lose."
Cao Ding: "Uh..."
"Don't talk so much. I've been walking around the streets several times, but I haven't seen any good places."
Cao Ding became curious: "Idiot, what are you going to do?"
"Let's rent a store and use it as a restaurant."
"Tavern?"
"Ang, we have too little delicacies in Dade. As a result, everyone has no place to relax. They eat boiled meat all day long, and their mouths are like birds. If we open a restaurant at this time, it will not make a lot of money.
Already."
Cao Ding laughed and couldn't help but said: "I'm talking about an idiot. You don't have a fever, right? There are many restaurants on this street, and this kind of thing is not available in the capital. Which house has a chef who is not famous far and wide? It's useless, it's useless
, if you ask me, you might as well continue making money with your rock candy."
Xiao Zhang curled his lips and ignored Cao Ding's suggestion: "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me where these noble children in the city like to go."
"That's Wuyi Alley in the east of the city. Most of the people living in this alley are noble children. My eldest brother's house is on this street."
"Let's go to Wuyi Lane."
Xiao Zhang didn't need to say anything, he pulled Cao Ding and walked away. After only two steps, he stopped again and motioned to Cao Ding to lead the way.
"Damn it, you didn't make any money yet and you ordered me around."
"Hurry up and stop talking nonsense."
The two of them soon arrived at Wuyi Lane. Compared with the streets they had seen before, this place was really deserted.
The residents here are all ministers of the court, princes from aristocratic families, and ordinary traders who have no guts to set up stalls in Wuyi Alley.
"Look, I just said it's not okay to open a restaurant in this place. There's not even a soul on the street."
Cao Ding complained.
Xiao Zhang ignored him and observed his surroundings as he walked.
At the end of the alley, he saw an empty yard, pointed at it and asked Cao Ding: "This place is pretty good. The yard is big enough, with two floors. Whose house does it belong to?"
Cao Ding tilted his head and looked: "Isn't this the yard of Brother Wei's house?"
"Brother Wei?"
Cao Ding raised his voice and said, "That's Wei Fang. We used to drink together. It's a pity that since Brother Wei entered the palace on duty the year before last, we can no longer find the opportunity to drink with him."
Cao Ding was here sighing as he was minding his own business. Xiao Zhang had already moved forward and patted the door: "Is there anyone at home?"
"Idiot, idiot, don't mess around. This yard is the private residence of Brother Wei. Even if there is someone there, it is the woman whom Brother Wei raises. You are not suitable. If Brother Wei finds out, we will all be in trouble."
Xiao Zhang ignored Cao Ding and kept patting on the door.
"Look, I'll just say there's no one left."
Cao Ding said, pulling Xiao Zhang to leave.
However, at this moment, a voice came from the yard.
"Who?"
Cao Ding was stunned for a moment: "There really are people."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door split to the left and right, and opened to both sides with a creak.
Immediately afterwards, an old servant walked out of the door. He stood at the door and looked at Xiao Zhang and Cao Ding with doubts on his face: "Who are you two?"
"I am Xiao Zhang, the eldest son of Prince Xiangdong. His name is Cao Ding, and I am the son of Cao Jingsheng, Duke of Jingling."
The old servant groaned and hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "It turns out you are two nobles. I'm disrespectful. I'm disrespectful."
Xiao Zhang waved his hand: "Old man, you're welcome. Is Brother Wei at home? We have something to talk to him about."
"Second brother Wei? You two are talking about the second young master, right? The second young master will not be here right now. If you have anything to do, you might as well talk to me first. When the second young master comes, I will tell him."
Xiao Zhang is in trouble, and the rightful owner is not here, so there is no use in talking about it.
Just as he was wondering, a girl came out of the bedroom.
She is twenty-eight years old, with a tender face and jade-like skin. She has big bright eyes, a cherry mouth and a beautiful nose, just like a fairy descended from the earth, like Chang'e in the moon.
Seeing this girl, Xiao Zhang and Cao Ding's eyes were fixed. This girl is so beautiful.
"Uncle Sun, who is outside?" the girl asked timidly.
Cao Ding quietly pushed Xiao Zhang: "What am I talking about? This is the yard where Brother Wei raised his child. It's better for you to knock on the door. Now, it's okay. We broke the story about Brother Wei.
, let him know that he must deal with us."
