Pei Guangting's funeral is not over yet, Pei's mansion is immersed in sadness, however, Guo Tongxiong's private house is full of laughter.

"What, the braised meat shop of the little slut in Dongshi is closed, and the shopkeeper has been escorted to the yamen? Okay, great. ”

"Oh, and the braised meat shops in several other states are also closed?"

"Don't raise the price, immediately upload my meaning, buy three catties and get half free, don't increase the price at this time, but sell it to the guests and push the reputation up."

Something happened in the white jade pig braised meat shop, Guo Tongxiong knew it, in order to avoid suspicion, he deliberately hid at home and did not show up, and afterwards Guo Ketang questioned and said, originally planned to make a big fuss, but many of the back hands have not been used, but I didn't expect Guo Ketang to admit defeat so easily, and when he saw that the momentum was not right, he resolutely closed all the stores.

Guo Tongxiong was a little surprised at first, and then quickly became proud: many people in the clan felt that they had picked up a ready-made big bargain and stained Guo Ketang's light, but in fact, Guo Ketang was not stained with the light of Guo's family in your hometown, and he got the advantage of no commercial opponents, a woman is a woman, and he can't resist it with a little trick.

Even if you know the relevant quickly, don't look at who is the backer behind the eighteen flavors of fragrant braised pork, that is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the future prince.

Just when Guo Tongxiong was complacent, his subordinates reported: "Lang Jun, Wu Gongzi is here." ”

Wu Gongzi's name is Wu Xiangdong, originally the son of the prince's nurse, he has been Li Ying's playmate since he was a child, because he is stable and loyal, he has become the confidant of the prince Li Ying.

Although Wu Xiangdong is the prince's henchman, he is not on the list of personnel in the prince's mansion, even if there is something, he will not be implicated in the prince's mansion.

Guo Tongxiong stood up suddenly, and said as he walked out: "I've been waiting for a long time, hurry, go with a certain person to greet you." ”

Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and the sixth day of every month is the day of tribute dividends, and Guo Tongxiong has long been ready.

After a while, Guo Tongxiong flatteringly welcomed Wu Xiangdong, the representative of the Prince's Mansion, in, and then served tea and snacks with kindness.

After a simple politeness, Guo Tongxiong smiled and put the two counter tickets in front of Wu Xiangdong: "Wu Gongzi, the big one is the filial piety of the Guixiang Guo family to the prince, as for the small one, it is the tea money for inviting Wu Gongzi to drink tea, please smile." ”

Wu Xiangdong glanced at it, and quickly said with some surprise: "Hey, it's a lot more than last month." ”

Guixiang Guo's tribute to the prince's mansion is about 40,000 guan every month, and this time it has doubled to 80,000 guan, and even the "tea money" given to Wu Xiangdong is as much as 500 guan, which makes Wu Xiangdong very surprised.

Some ordinary small shops have a profit of 3,500 yuan a year, and Guo Tongxiong can pay 80,000 yuan a month, which can be said to be considerable.

Guo Tongxiong said with a smile: "Thanks to the prince's blessing, the business did well last month, and eighteen more branches were opened, not much, not much, it is a small blessing to be able to honor the prince, no matter how much it should be." ”

Wu Xiangdong quietly tucked the two cabinet tickets into his sleeves, and said unhurriedly: "Steward Guo is really capable, yes, he will make it clear to His Royal Highness, by the way, how sure is the white jade pig fragrant braised pork?" ”

"Please rest assured that Wu Gongzi" Guo Tongxiong said with confidence: "I don't deny that the white jade pig fragrant braised pork is slightly better in taste, but its asking price is too high, and it is just starting, those people have just started to draw a fresh, so it seems that the business is not bad, as soon as the freshness passes, they will naturally choose the eighteen-flavor fragrant braised pork with good quality and low price, I don't know if Wu Gongzi has paid attention, the white jade pig fragrant braised pork has an accident, and the dead are eaten, presumably there is a problem with the formula, and now all the braised meat is closed.

After a pause, Guo Tongxiong added: "Guixiang Guo's has been in business for so many years, there are many excellent technicians, and the introduction of eighteen flavors of fragrant braised pork is enough to show their excellence, please rest assured that Wu Gongzi, although the quality of white jade pig fragrant braised pork is a little better, it is only temporary, we still strive to improve, I believe that it is only a matter of time before they are exceeded, please also... Wu Gongzi has a lot of support. ”

Guixiang Guo's independent operation of braised meat, in addition to obtaining huge profits, training a group of excellent braised meat craftsmen, eighteen flavors of fragrant braised meat is those craftsmen to study.

It was possible before, it can be now, and it will be possible in the future, this is Guo Tongxiong's confidence.

Wu Gongzi said unhurriedly: "This matter is exactly the purpose of coming here, Guo Guanshi, with the prince's daughter, will not come forward to deal with this kind of thing, I think you also know." ”

"Clear, clear." Guo Tongxiong was secretly disappointed in his heart, but he didn't care that there was half dissatisfaction on his face.

Business is a cheap industry, and people with a little face will not have anything to do with it, let alone take action in person, most of them are stealthy behind-the-scenes commands, the prince is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that hundreds of thousands of tributes a year, even tens of millions of tributes a year are impossible for him to come forward.

Sensing that Guo Tongxiong was a little disappointed, Wu Xiangdong continued: "The battle in the shopping mall, the shopping mall, with Guo's ability to manage things, I believe that this matter can be handled well, if the champion Hou Zheng Peng or his sworn brother Cui Xiyi interferes, the prince's mansion will not stand idly by." ”

"Great, Gongzi Xie Wu, Tongxiong will definitely not disappoint the prince." Guo Tongxiong was overjoyed and immediately expressed his gratitude.

In the past, the Guixiang Guo family didn't take Zheng Peng in their eyes, but now it's different, in the past, a notorious gentleman and a lowly businessman turned into a celebrity in front of the emperor, a high-ranking champion, Zheng Peng, Guo Tongxiong is very clear, he is ruthless and unsympathetic, and he is shameless when he does things, Guo Tongxiong is really a little scared of him, and he has Wu Xiangdong's assurance, and he has a lot of heart.

I'm afraid that Zheng Peng will be arrogant.

"It's so good, so-and-so still has something important to do, so I'll disturb Steward Guo and say goodbye."

"I originally ordered the kitchen to make a banquet, but I didn't expect Mr. Wu to have something, but it's a pity, but it's important to get down to business, and sometimes I make an appointment." Guo Tongxiong said with a smile.

Guo Tongxiong has been staying in Chang'an, just to take the opportunity to get to know more dignitaries and nobles, as much as possible to win over the people of the prince's mansion, and when the prince ascends the throne, he can be regarded as having the merit of the dragon, but the people of the prince's mansion think very highly of themselves, the money is collected, and the face is stinky, just keep a distance from themselves and deliberately alienate, which makes Guo Tongxiong have a feeling of intentional falling flowers and ruthless flowing water.

Forget it, everything is difficult at the beginning, Guo Tongxiong secretly cheered himself up in his heart: as long as he has more contact and more favorites, one day he will be dripping with water.

After sending Wu Xiangdong away, a maid came over: "Lang Jun, Miss Xi Liu'er and Miss Xi Rong'er let the maid talk, what should I do with the banquet?" ”

Wu Xiangdong left, but the banquet carefully prepared by Guo Tongxiong was still there.

Guo Tongxiong waved his hand and said impatiently: "Let them eat, if they can't eat, they will be rewarded to their subordinates." ”

"Miss Xiliu'er means that she hopes to drink with Lang Jun." The maidservant said cautiously.

"Eat, eat, eat, know how to eat every day." Guo Tongxiong suddenly became irritable in his heart, scolded with a stiff face, and then brushed his sleeves away.

The hot face was attached to the cold buttocks, Wu Xiangdongguang would collect money and not do things, Guo Tongxiong had a fire in his heart, where did he still have the idea of eating a banquet.

The maid thought of Guo Tongxiong and turned her face when she said that she turned her face, and she was so frightened that she even claimed that it was, and then bowed down and retreated, Guo Tongxiong didn't bother to pay attention to her, and ordered her subordinates to prepare the car, and saw that Guo Tongxiong was going out, and his henchman Hosokawa hurriedly sat in the driver's seat.

After going out, Hosokawa asked respectfully, "Lang-kun, where are you going?" ”

"Upset, go around." Guo Tongxiong opened his mouth and commanded.

Guo Ketang and Zheng Peng were too fast, Guo Tongxiong was a little unsteady after being happy, he always felt that they had some tricks, and the prince's mansion was not as powerful as he imagined, so he came out to take a turn and distracted himself.

Hosokawa responded, adjusted the horse's head, and hurried in the direction of Suzaku Street, and after a few steps, Hosokawa, who was driving the car, quickly frowned: I don't know what happened at the gate, a large group of people gathered together, as if they were looking at something, and from time to time there were bursts of exclamations, and the road was occupied by most of the people, and it was very inconvenient for vehicles to enter and exit.
