Chapter 116 Meet He Zhaoren
"Shaoyi, don't do this. I can't stand it. I was just playing with you. As long as I have money to make money, who will I do it with?" Zhang Yang said.
"Is this true?" He Zhaoyi raised her head and looked at Zhang Yang.
"Of course it's true. I promise you that I'll accompany you to meet your eldest brother later."
"Great!" He Zhaoyi burst into tears and laughed.
It seems that this trick is still useful from childhood to adulthood, crying, making trouble and hanging up. This is the three magic weapons of women.
Seeing that He Zhaoyi's expression changed so fast, I'm afraid she also pretended just now. Alas, it's too much to guard against it, Zhang Yang thought.
However, it is also in your own interest to have a relationship with Mr. He. After all, the coarse salt purification line of the base does not have much production capacity for the time being. Moreover, if too much refined salt is continuously provided, it will lead to a decline in the price of refined salt in the market, which is not in line with your own interests. Moreover, it is easy to arouse suspicion that merchants' noses have always been very keen.
Approaching Yangzhou, there are more and more salt boats around. This is a large commercial city, gathering visitors from all over the world. The throughput of goods is also very huge.
The He family's warehouse, along the coast of the Dongguan Outer River, is like a bee's nest, full of all kinds of huge warehouses. More than 90% of them are salt warehouses.
Approached the salt warehouse with the surname of the He family, with green brick exterior walls, glazed eaves, and elegant style.
"Which warehouse are we docking in?" Zhang Yang asked.
"These warehouses are all the second brother's, and the eldest brother's warehouse is still in the front." He Zhaoyi said.
The waterway here is wide, which is convenient for ships to come and go, but the warehouse is occupied by the second brother. The eldest brother's warehouse is on the narrow tributary in front.
After He Zhaoyi's guidance, Zhang Yang's salt boat approached He Zhaoren's salt warehouse.
Although he is at a disadvantage in the family struggle, compared with other small salt merchants, He Zhaoren's two-way sales are also equivalent to the sum of many small salt merchants. The salt warehouse is also covered high, but the location is a little remote.
However, it is better to be in a remote location, which is convenient for Zhang Yang to do things.
It is inevitable that acquaintances will come over: "Where is this salt shipped to? So much, your He family is really a big deal. Then, the curious man uncovered the salt burden, grabbed it in, and it was exposed.
There is not only the amount of salt, but also the types of salt, refined salt and sea salt, which are clearly divided.
In this remote place, there are few ships passing by. It is a good place to transfer refined salt here.
The willows on both sides are lush and lush, with thousands of green silk hanging down. Reflected in the clear lake, the lake is microwaved, and even the white clouds in the sky are reflected in the lake.
"That's right in front." He Zhaoyi said.
Without any advice, Zhang Yang also found a cyan two-story pavilion in front of him. The bottom was red and white, exquisitely carved and pecked, and there was a circle of big red lanterns hanging on the top. It's not like a warehouse, it's just a lakeside villa!
Looking at Zhang Yang's suspicious eyes, He Zhaoyi said, "This is a private courtyard of the eldest brother. The next floor is also a salt warehouse, and the second floor is the place where the eldest brother drinks and enjoys the scenery. Last time I made an appointment with the eldest brother, I will talk to you here."
So it is, the warehouse is not enough, and this villa is also used as a warehouse? The young master of the He family is really willing to give up.
The boat docked, facing the main entrance of the pavilion.
Before Zhang Yang got off the boat, he saw that the door of the vermilion paint in the pavilion suddenly opened, and a bright laughter came from it: "I'm looking forward to the night, and I'm finally looking forward to you."
This opening was straightforward enough. Zhang Yang looked at the open door. With the sound, a prince shook the folding fan, paced the official step, and walked out.
I saw that he was of medium height, his face was white, and his eyebrows were similar to He Zhaoyi, who was dressed as a man. Wearing a narrow-sleeved dragon-patterned brocade robe and a gold and jade belt, the dragon flying and phoenix dancing jade card was hung on the side, and a pompom was tied with red thread on it. Wear a pair of black satin boots.
He looked at the man who came off the boat, his sister, who was coming down with a man.
"Sister, is this Mr. Zhang?"
"Exactly." Zhang Yang arched his fist: "Do you dare to ask Mr. He?"
He Zhaoren closed the folding fan, held the handle in his left hand, held his left fist in his right hand, and said, "Sister She has always exaggerated that the prince is handsome and chivalrous. At first sight, she is really elegant and extraordinary."
Zhang Yang was very comfortable when he heard these words, but he said, "No, no, Mr. He is generous and talented."
"Brother, do you have anything delicious? I'm hungry!" He Zhaoyi said next to him.
"Let's go, please go upstairs. I'll be the host today and prepare a little wine. Let's have a few drinks together." Mr. He turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.
Chinese people like to talk about things at the wine table since ancient times. This excellent virtue has been passed down to this day.
"Brother, what about me?" He Zhaoyi said reluctantly.
"Of course, you're also up. I've prepared your favorite thousand-layer oil cake for you." He Zhaoren said.
"Let's go, Xiao Ai, let's go up first." He Zhaoyi greeted his maid and quickly walked inside.
"Well, the salt in the boat..." Zhang Yang looked behind him. The ship had just stopped. Everyone was about to go ashore and had not yet begun to unload the goods.
"Oh, this is easy to say." He Zhaoren shouted to the back, "Come on!"
"Yes, my son." A few people came out later.
"Hold the salt poles on the ship to the warehouse, and then invite the people on the ship to the back room for dinner."
"Yes, my son." After answering, the family began to get on the boat to carry the salt burden.
With people helping with the work and eating, Zhang Yang was relieved and walked inside with He Zhaoren.
Entering the gate, it suddenly opened up. It was a huge door pavilion, supported by several red columns, and the lower part of the column was carved with hollow patterns. On the side is the stairs, and the handrails of the logs are only coated with a layer of varnish, which is antique and elegant and lubricated.
When I went up the stairs, a red sandalwood eight-immortal table had been placed in the front hall. The lower part has a circle of carved bouquet waist, which is exquisitely made and beautiful.
Next to the table are several of the same red sandalwood chairs. At this time, there is already an elegant and elegant woman sitting on the chair.
From the side, there is indeed an impulse to make people commit crimes.
With the footsteps of stepping on the stairs, the woman turned back gently. Exactly what Zhaoyi is.
However, at this time, her cheeks were bulging, and there was something squirming inside. The handsome little mouth was closed tightly. She quickly blocked her mouth with her sleeves and chewed it twice before swallowing what was in her mouth.
I haven't eaten thousand-layer oil cake for a long time. Just now, I was excited and put two into my mouth, so there was a scene just now.
"Are you coming up? I thought I had to chat for a while below. He Zhaoyi said as if nothing had happened.
"Son Zhang, please sit down." He Zhaoren glanced at his ugly sister and said to Zhang Yang.
"Please." Zhang Yang also stretched out his arm, and the two sat on each side.
Zhang Yang sat opposite He Zhaoyi and looked at her concave cheeks. Thinking of her appearance just now, he had an impulse to laugh.
Miss He, what delicious food have you never eaten? He looks like a lady, eating like a greedy cat.
(Thank you for your concern and thank you for my baby Harry's reward!
There was another severe pain in the middle of the night last night. I was fine in the morning. I immediately seized the time to write, while doing exercise, and trying to get this stone down as soon as possible.)
