Chapter 148 Teenage Dream
The Diaoyutai model building has opened a store. The store usually sells some glass mirrors, glass cups, glassware, and so on. Of course, it also sells deer head soap and matches, as well as white sugar, Juneng calcium and cod liver oil, etc. In short, they are all unique products produced by the Special Administrative Region.
The prices of glass mirrors, glass cups and glassware in the store are very high. Juneng calcium and cod liver oil are not something ordinary people dare to care about. As for soap and sugar, this belongs to the category that the people of the Song Dynasty can afford. However, what is painful is that they need to be supplied with tickets. So far, the only thing that people can afford is that they are occasionally open and affordable is probably matches.
In view of this, Diaoyutai's store is recognized as a high-end store. It is only lively when the matches are sold open. People who come to shop are not enthusiastic, which makes it seem a bit too high.
But since yesterday, a long queue has been lined up in front of the door of Diaoyutai for two consecutive days. As long as you see two advertising banners hanging from the bell tower, you can understand why it is so lively.
Not bad! This is the situation where Sanlu makeup powder is sold publicly. Due to the advertisement of purchase restrictions in the newspaper and the notice of purchase restrictions was posted on the spot. For a moment, the Diaoyutai store seemed unprecedentedly lively.
Yesterday was basically a time when roles such as powerful servants of the wealthy families in Lin'an and officials were rampant. Even if ordinary people have the desire to buy, they have to retreat. So, nine out of ten people who bought Sanlu makeup powder were well-known families in Lin'an.
Today, it was finally the turn of ordinary people to queue up to buy makeup powder. However, the scalpers came into being, and a group of gangsters and scoundrels also joined the queue. Although Lin'an's tolerance service was in a pretext for queuing up for customers, the scalpers also made the contingent helpless.
At this moment, four queues were lined up outside the door, and the long queues were pulled far away. In addition, there were many people watching the fun. Anyway, there were crowds of people outside the door, and the crowds were crowded with people, and sometimes they would push and shovate, which made the toll unable to stay idle for a moment.
Wu Xi was sitting on the second floor, facing the window, looking down, enjoying the lively scene outside.
The situation outside is really messy and there is no such thing as viewing, but Wu Xi is now an intriguing audience, full of interest and focus on it, as if watching an extremely exciting drama, and he was observing everything outside almost without any moment.
However, the show always ends, and the makeup powder that was not much was finally sold out at a certain point in time.
At this moment, there was a long line behind, and a voice sounded out of place:
"Everyone, everyone, our store apologizes to inform us that the makeup powder has been sold out and has been sold out. Please disperse automatically. If you haven't bought this time, you can buy it next time. In five days, a batch of makeup powder will arrive. Welcome to our store at that time."
When he shouted, he became confused for a moment, and the people behind him immediately surrounded him.
The clerk had to pick up a tin horn, repeatedly shouting at the crowd, and asking the crowd to disperse.
When everyone understood that the makeup powder had been sold out, the people who had worked hard to queue but had not bought it began to stir up, and then they began to express their dissatisfaction. The curses and complaints sounded loudly. At this moment, public anger accelerated and fermented. The public's emotions took a sharp turn and the scene became further out of control. In the end, someone began to throw something into the store.
But Wu Xi was particularly happy to see this scene upstairs. His subordinates also put down their cards and began to pay attention to the development of the situation below. They didn't understand why Wu Xi smiled so happily.
Suddenly, a stone was thrown out of the crowd without warning and headed straight to the second floor. With a bang, the stone penetrated the glass. The stone whizzed and flew over to Wu Xi's face.
Wu Xi touched her face and found that she was not hurt at all. Not only did she not get angry, she smiled instead.
But Bai Er stopped doing it and said angrily:
"Which bastard dares to offend the young master! When the young man goes down, he catches him and beats him up, and then sends him to the official."
"Slow!" Wu Xi stopped it in time.
"Bai Er, they didn't buy makeup powder, so they were a little emotional. There is a saying that goes? The customer is -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The customer is a Bodhisattva!" Bai Er opened his mouth and reminded Wu Xi.
"Isn't it true that the 'customer is a Bodhisattva'? Since you know that the customer is a Bodhisattva, you just said that you were going to hit someone. Don't you know that the Bodhisattva cannot offend it! Isn't it true that the Bodhisattva!"
"The customer is a Bodhisattva", which was said from Wen Yuan, and of course it originated from Mao Geng. Mao Geng could not copy the later generations "the customer is God", so he had to adapt and make a Song version of the Song Dynasty - the customer is a Bodhisattva.
When Wu Xi said "the customer is a Bodhisattva", his tone seemed to be true. At this time, Wu Xi was like a responsible shareholder. He was just willing to be a passionate onlooker, just to appreciate the grand occasion of the product selling well. Just imagine, seeing the product he invested in is so popular, I am afraid no shareholder would be happy!
Although Wu Xi's behavior is a bit paranoid, it means that. It's nothing. Wu Xi is such a person. He has a perverse personality and his subordinates are no longer surprised.
The scenes behind were no longer worth observing. Wu Xi was indifferent to the interest and left the back door with his subordinates. Before leaving, Wu Xi waved his sleeves, without any intention of pursuing the perpetrator.
Halfway through, he was hitting a confidant. When the confidant said that, Wu Xi immediately grinned several times:
"well!"
Why is Wu Xi so excited? Of course, good news came from the palace. This good news is that Wu Xi was selected as one of the three generals who went to Taiwan to lead troops to practice. The so-called "If you have the will, the world will not disappoint you." Wu Xi was happy and sighed a lot.
Damn it! It’s not easy! I really have to thank Guo Ni.
Originally, the Shangyi was just a single choice, but now he has become a three-elephant general who has been selected together. Wu Xi couldn't help but admire Guo Ni. He is really a talented person of Zhuge, and he can't accept it.
"Let's go to Guo's Mansion."
But in a blink of an eye, Wu Xi changed his mind again:
"No! Go to Wenfu."
At this time, going to Guo’s Mansion seems to have had a close relationship with Guo Ni, so I have to pay attention to it in the future. But if you have such a good thing, you have to celebrate. Go to Wen’s Mansion and show off and celebrate. Yes! It’s Wen’s Mansion.
When I arrived at Wen Mansion, I saw Wen Yuan with three young people at a glance. Yuan Fu had met, and Fu Ziyun had also met once, and only one person had lived in person.
"Oh, Brother Wu, please!"
Wen Yuan was attracted by Wu Xi, and then introduced:
"This little brother is Fugui, and is a disciple of Brother Mao. Fugui, come and pay homage to Lord Wu."
He helped him quickly greet him.
When Wu Xi heard that he was a disciple of Mao Geng, he immediately felt good about it and said proudly:
"Brother Fu, I will go to Kaohsiung after a while and I will lead troops to practice on the grounds of respecting my teachers. I wonder when Brother Fu will return to the Special Administrative Region? Why not do this? Then I will start with me all the way."
However, Fu Gui did not express a hint of joy when he heard this. Fu Gui has always been a real person. Under Mao Geng's training, he developed a rigorous style. At this time, he directly denied:
"Mr. Wu, Xiaosheng will not return to the special zone for the time being when he comes back this time. According to the teacher's order, Xiaosheng will go to Jiangxi to assist in mining and smelting. Brother Fu Ziyun and Fu will also go to Jiangxi with me."
"Haha! So that's it." Wu Xi grinned and then said to Wen Yuan:
"Brother Wen, have you heard of it? The latest news is that the official has approved the request of the Jiaguo Duke. He has decided to summon Xin Jiaxuan to come out of the mountain and be fully responsible for the mining and smelting in Jiangxi."
"Is this true?" Wen Yuan also knew that Wu Xi in front of him was well-informed, but for such a big thing, he had to confirm it no matter what. Wu Xi was talking about, and sometimes it was difficult to tell the truth about his words.
"The one who cheats on people is a bastard!"
When Fu Ziyun heard this long-awaited news, he was immediately excited and said with joy:
"Now, I can do something big with Lord Xin."
"Young people, the great cause of the Northern Expedition is a great cause. Mining and copper smelting is not considered a good thing!" Wu Xi felt that he would be expected to become a famous general of the Northern Expedition in the future. To achieve great cause, that was his own business. At most, Guo Ni and Yue Ju were brought with him. As for mining and copper smelting, can it be considered a great cause?
"Mr. Wu, please don't underestimate mining and copper smelting. Master said that within three years, you must achieve an annual output of 30 million kilograms of copper, an annual income of 10 million jin, and an annual profit of 2 million jin. Master said that only with money can you fight the north. Only with money can you create unparalleled new-style weapons and wipe out the Jin soldiers."
All the words Fugui said to Mao Geng were regarded as the standard. When Wu Xi said one by one, he was a little surprised - 30 million pounds! Is it possible? But when Yuan Fu heard it, he was deeply shocked.
"Oh, it seems that the two guys are very ambitious! Okay, Xin Jiaxuan is also a personal character, which is admirable. I will wait and see if Xin Jiaxuan can really refine 30 million kilograms of copper materials a year."
At this time, Yuan Fu, who had not spoken aside for a long time, said with a look of longing:
"Mr. Xin takes action and Mr. Mao sends his disciples to help him, so he will definitely do it."
Turning his head and asking Wen Yuan:
"Brother Wen, I'm going to Jiangxi and follow Lord Xin to make achievements."
Wen Yuan smiled and said:
"Don't you take the imperial examination? Ling Zun has a lot of hope!" Wen Yuan felt that it would be a pity for Yuan Fu to not take the imperial examination.
"My father is also a student of Mr. Lu. Since Mr. Lu asked Brother Fu Ziyun to go to Jiangxi, Brother Fu can go, and he can go. Mr. Lu was devoted to teaching and educating people, and he did not take the imperial examination until he was in his thirties. He was less than twenty years old. He followed Master Xin for ten years, and it was not too late to take the exam ten years later. He could not lead his troops on the battlefield like Lord Wu, but he could do a little bit of strength to enrich the country and strengthen the army. I just wonder if Lord Xin would refuse to serve before he came to his account."
Yuan Fu said this, which made people sigh that he was such a passionate young man!
Wen Yuan patted Yuan Fu on the shoulder and encouraged:
"You can also show your talents when you go to Master Xin. If you do well, you may not lose to famous officials and generals. If you are really interested, I recommend it in the name of Brother Mao, which is not a big deal. Master Xin is a person who loves talents, so how can you keep it out!"
While Mao Geng encouraged Yuan Fu, he also stabbed Wu Xi. Don’t think that there will be anything great after a famous general!
Chapter completed!
