Chapter 297 Seduction

Time flies, and Song Keren and Xiao Lie came to Hanzhong as planned.

Song Keren and Xiao Lie lived in an inn near the town. Looking back on those things half a month ago, it was like a dream. This dream was so powerful that she fell from the position of the Fang family.

Snowflakes floated outside the window, and the snow silently sprinkled on this quiet town. The more comfortable and peaceful life here will make people unconsciously lose their fighting spirit and courage and be willing to live an ordinary and bitter life. Perhaps, it may not be a good thing for people here. Being able to maintain peace in your heart is a happy thing.

Song Keren looked at Xiao Lie. At this time, he was helping her put away her luggage and looked at the hygiene of the room. He had to admit that Xiao Lie was really a careful person.

Song Keren nodded to him and thanked him for his help.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Lie said lightly and went out after saying that.

When he reached the door, Xiao Lie suddenly turned around. By the way, I forgot to tell you that we will go to Fang's house tomorrow to explore the truth. Xiao Lie said.

In the early morning of the second day, Song Keren dressed up as a man and wore a long robe, looking like a weak little man.

Put on Xiao Lie's fox fur coat, which makes Song even more petite.

Song Keren and Xiao Lie went out. At the first stop, he was naturally the old rival of the Fang family and the biggest competitor of the Fang family in Hanzhong - Zhou Ji Chahao. It is a large tea house, which operates various kinds of tea. It is said that there are also special people to sell black tea outside the mouth, and the business is not small. It is rumored that they and the Fang family formed a relationship. From then on, the two families thought about how to torture each other. The most straightforward way is to cut off each other in business.

When Song Keren's feet took the first step of Zhou Ji's tea account, Song Keren knew the shortcomings of Fang Ji. The staff here are well organized. The company is clean, and the quality of the tea is even better. Song Keren feels ashamed as soon as he enters the door.

Xiao Lie smiled at the clerk and said, "I want to see your shopkeeper." The man smiled very sweetly and whispered, "I don't know what you have to do?" Xiao Lie gradually put away his smile and said, "I'll find your shopkeeper." The man saw that he was a difficult master, so he trotted to the back hall.

Zhou Ji's shopkeeper is an old man who is nearly 60 years old, with a long white goatee, and many age spots grow densely on his hairline skin. Song Keren and Xiao Lie stood up and nodded to the old shopkeeper. The old shopkeeper knew at a glance that he was a person who had gone through the wind and waves. With a calm face, he smiled slightly when he saw Song Ke people. At a glance, he knew that he was an old fox.

"You two, please sit down." The old shopkeeper said.

Xiao Lie said, "May I ask the shopkeeper's last name?" The old shopkeeper smiled and said, "Surname Zhou, I heard that you two have something to teach?"

Xiao Lie smiled and said, "This is natural." Then he added, "I don't know if the shopkeeper can take a step to speak?" The shopkeeper Zhou looked at him and said, "Then please step back to the backyard." After saying that, he nodded and turned around to say something to the guy beside him.

Song Keren and Xiao Lie followed the shopkeeper Zhou into a small house in the backyard, which should be said to be an elegant room for several people. After sitting down, a little guy served tea, and then hurriedly retreated. Xiao Lie took a sip of tea and greeted him. Manager Zhou opened his mouth and said, "I don't know what you two call?"

Xiao Lie said with a smile, "This is my little master, Mr. Xiao," the shopkeeper Zhou nodded, and Song Keren got up and bowed slightly to him with a smile.

"Do you dare to ask your surname?" Manager Zhou asked again.

Xiao Lie quickly smiled and said, "I dare not, dare not, my surname is Song, Jiangnan Xiao Ji tea number."

"Oh, I've been looking forward to it for a long time." Manager Zhou looked at Xiao Lie in surprise, "The Xiao family is very loud in the tea account!" Manager Zhou gave a thumbs up as he spoke.

Xiao Lie quickly smiled and said, "I dare not, dare not."

"I don't know what you two need to ask Zhou?" Manager Zhou said again.

Xiao Lie said with a smile, "I dare not, dare not, the old shopkeeper, you are too modest. I can't talk about the order, but I really have something to ask you.

"Oh?" Manager Zhou said.

Xiao Lie smiled and said, "Old shopkeeper, you must also know that in this year's melee, the businesses everywhere can't get in, and the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River can't get out. In fact, in early September last year, the head of my family sent me and the little master to the south to collect tea, but as soon as we arrived in Fujian, there was a fight in my hometown. Although the tea was collected, it could not go back. Seeing this, we were about to collect tea again, and we were overwhelmed. There was nothing we could do. I heard that the old shopkeeper was the most kind, and I hoped that the old shopkeeper could complete it. The price is absolutely fair. After saying that, Xiao Lie sighed helplessly.

Manager Zhou smiled and showed his cunning nature. He blinked his eyes and said, "This account was also taken care of by your account in those years, but you also know the current market. Not to mention Chen Cha, even the sales of new tea are not satisfactory. Your account has a history of nearly 100 years. I believe that I don't care about this."

Xiao Lie smiled bitterly and said, "Every family has a difficult experience. If it were put in the early years, I'm afraid I wouldn't worry about this tea. However, the two years have been bad. First, there are many competitors and price gouging. You also know this. More importantly, all kinds of harsh taxes. The business at home is getting worse and worse, the people are not very prosperous, and the guys who used to be trusted are almost gone. Besides, you have probably heard about the scandal at home. Five years ago, we were robbed on our way back to collect tea, and even the tea and money were swept away. Not only that, even our great man is now unaccounted for. Xiao Ji's vitality is greatly damaged, and every situation is getting worse. Thanks to the help of the brothers in the circle, he can persist until today.

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and deliberately said with an embarrassed face, "If you put it in the past, you will pick it up. At worst, it will be sold for two or three years, but this year is really... Besides, the Xiao family is a big one..."

Xiao Lie smiled and said, "Old shopkeeper, don't be modest. I also know your strength, and the Zhou family is not a small business name. Hey, as the saying goes, a thin camel is bigger than a horse. Those are all sarcastic words. When I really came to my home, I knew that it was difficult. Thanks to the Xiao family, when they did business in the early years, they made a lot of friends, so the Xiao family would help when they were in trouble.

Shopkeeper Zhou listened to Xiao Lie's words and twisted his body, which was a sign of inner uneasiness. Xiao Lie looked at Song Keren. Song Keren took the opportunity to wince him. Xiao Lie smiled and said, "Old shopkeeper, take a look at this product first." After saying that, Xiao Lie took out a tea wrapped in a handkerchief from his pocket.

"You taste it, it's definitely good quality." Xiao Lie opened his handkerchief as he spoke. Manager Zhou took it in his hand and looked at it. He smelled it, grabbed a grain and chewed it in his mouth. After a while, he said, "It's really good, but I don't know if the whole batch has such good quality."

Xiao Lie smiled and said, "You can check it at that time. You also know that the Xiao family is doing business. It has always been reputable. If it is not for this credibility, I'm afraid the Xiao family will not survive today." After saying that, he smiled, and shopkeeper Zhou nodded and said nothing.

Xiao Lie took a look and said with a smile, "The old shopkeeper is absolutely fair in terms of price." After saying that, he stretched out his right hand. At a glance, the shopkeeper Zhou quickly took his hand and covered the long sleeve tube on the hands of the two people.

Song Keren knew that the price must be discussed under the cuff. Although he didn't know what gestures they would make in it, looking at the expressions of the two people, he knew that the conversation in their hands must be very wonderful.

At first, Xiao Lie looked attentively at the shopkeeper Zhou. The shopkeeper Zhou lowered his eyes and looked serious. After a while, the shopkeeper Zhou frowned, looked up at Xiao Lie, and shook his head. Xiao Lie thought about it and probably counted again. The shopkeeper Zhou's eyebrows stretched a little, but shook his head again.

At this time, it was Xiao Lie's turn to frown. At this time, it was probably the shopkeeper Zhou's bid. Xiao Lie shook his head repeatedly, and then the hands of both sides pulled out.

"Your price is too low. Even if it rots to the warehouse, there is no such price." Xiao Lie said with a bitter face.

The shopkeeper Zhou showed a crafty smile again and said, "This is the price of Tieguanyin of this quality at most." Xiao Lie frowned and said, "Old shopkeeper, this embarrass me. You are adding something."

As soon as the shopkeeper Zhou saw that the big fish was hooked, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, at this price, you can see that it hasn't been opened all morning!" Xiao Lie deliberately looked at Song Keren, then stood up, walked to Song Keren and said a number. Song Keren pretended to be deep and deliberately thought about it and said, "I'm afraid this won't work."

Song Keren whispered to Xiao Lie, "I'm afraid this won't work. I can't even come back. Moreover, it will be the Spring Festival in a few days. If you can't sell it at a good price, how can you go home?"

Song Keyen deliberately told this to the shopkeeper Zhou. Sure enough, as soon as the shopkeeper Zhou heard it, his eyelids moved, and then waited for Xiao Lie to return to him as if he hadn't heard anything.

He said, "How's your discussion going?" Xiao Lie said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, let's add more."

Shopkeeper Zhou said with a smile, "No, this is already very high."

Xiao Lie thought for a moment, smiled helplessly and said, "Old shopkeeper, please take a rest. After discussing with my little master, I will reply to you."

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and said calmly, "Then discuss it. Doing business is not a trivial matter."

Xiao Lie nodded repeatedly, so he left Zhou Ji after leaving.

The plan has just begun, and contacting the shopkeeper Zhou is only the first step in the whole. Then, Xiao Liema kept rushing to Fang's house. Song Keren returned to the hotel to rest. After all, she was still afraid that the Fang family would recognize her.
