Chapter 021: Beauty Makes an Appointment
Regarding the dinner that Cao Yuechan took the initiative to invite, Cui Geng was not only an accident, but also a little suspicious.
Who is Cao Yuechan?
She is the real behind-the-scenes person of Cao's Distillery!
She was sought after by the sons and buddies in the city as the first beauty in Qingyuan!
She is also an idol that the ladies of the city's businessmen compete to imitate!
Although Cui Geng and her had an oral marriage contract between the elders of the two parties, which was almost child's play, they had never witnessed Cao Yuechan's true face with their own eyes, let alone knew and understood each other.
But judging from the information that can be easily understood, Cui Geng judged that a woman like Cao Yuechan is definitely proud in temperament, and she is a proud beauty!
But this proud beauty, who has never been interested in herself, actually invited herself to a dinner.
This is the little girl's skin, which door is blowing to break the east wind?
Could it be because seeing the reconstruction of her Cui's winery and the popularity of her own Mulan spring wine in Qingyuan, Cao Yuechan changed her cold temperament in the past, and wanted to use this dinner to mend the relationship between the two families, and even wanted to re-honor the oral marriage contract between the two families, which had long existed in name only?
Belch...... It's unlikely!
Cui Geng shook his head silently, how could a proud woman like Cao Yuechan do such a utilitarian thing? This is his father Cao Tianjiao's style of acting, but it is definitely not Cao Yuechan's style!
He stared at the bronzing big red pestle in place for a while, and was surprised and suspicious, but faintly had some expectations!
……
……
The next day, at the end of the day and the beginning of noon, Cui Geng asked the little maid to leave Zhouxifang with the mule cart that the family had purchased first, and went to the drunken fairy building to go to the dinner as promised.
As soon as he entered the Zuixian Building, he saw Tang Fuguo, the shopkeeper of the Zuixian Building, walking over with a smile on his face, and greeted him: "Haha, Cui Shaodong's family is really a rare guest, since the wine tasting conference, you haven't been to the shop for a few days, welcome!" I said that this morning, how could there be magpies calling frequently outside my drunken fairy building, dare to have distinguished guests here today, haha! ”
Tang Fuguo of Zuixianlou and Xue Songnian, the owner of Xue's winery of "one pot of incense", are in-laws, thinking that when Mulan Spring Wine was not yet available, he never treated Cao Cui's two wineries, and Zuixianlou only sold a pot of incense from the Xue family before. But since tasting Mulan Spring Wine at the wine tasting conference, especially after witnessing and feeling the popularity of Mulan Spring Wine, Tang Fuguo's attitude towards Cui Geng has definitely changed 360 degrees.
He is a typical businessman, who always believes that buying and selling is buying and selling, and it is not allowed to substitute personal feelings. No matter how close the relationship between the in-laws is, they can't stand the good wine of the Cui family, and the Mulan spring wine of the people is sought after by diners in the Zuixian Building, but the pot of incense of the Xue family is not cared for. Whoever sells wine is good, he Tang Fuguo will recognize whomever he wants, and even his in-laws are not good!
"Shopkeeper Tang is serious!"
Cui Geng returned the salute with a fist, and said: "The main reason is that the wine shop has just been rebuilt a few days ago, and all kinds of wine merchants are urging the goods tightly, and there are a lot of trivial things and miscellaneous things, and I really can't pull away." How's it going, how has business been going lately? ”
"The blessing of the Tuo Cui Shaodong family is very good!"
Tang Fuguo listened to Cui Geng's words, his eyes rolled slightly, and he took the opportunity to say: "But Cui Shaodong, I have to complain to you today, your Mulan Spring Wine is indeed a good wine, but every time it is distributed to us from the North and South Warehouses, it is just a little bit, and it is not enough to sell at all." Every time a diner asks for your Mulan spring wine, but we are selling chime on the counter again, and seeing that the silver of the white flowers can't be earned, Tang someone's heart is dripping blood! Otherwise, in the future, we will directly pull the goods from your winery, right? ”
The north and south warehouses in his mouth are Cui Geng's partner Tian Wenkun, and the two have a clear division of labor, Cui's winery is responsible for winemaking, and the north and south warehouses are responsible for distribution, which he and Tian Wenkun have agreed in advance.
"This ......"
Cui Geng was quite embarrassed to set up a stall, and explained with a chuckle: "Tang shopkeeper, it's not that I mean to embarrass you." Do you know that Cui's Distillery is only responsible for making wine, and other sales matters are entrusted to the Tian Dongjia. Not only you, but all the wine inns and restaurants in the city, and even all the wine merchants outside Qingyuan, are all under the responsibility of Tian Dong's North and South Warehouses. Therefore, Cui's Distillery will not sell wine to the outside world alone, not even a jar! ”
Tang Fuguo continued without giving up: "It's convenient for Cui Shaodong's family, I can raise the price given by Tian Dong's family a little more, how about it?" ”
"It's... I'm sorry! ”
Cui Geng shook his head stubbornly and said with a smile: "It's not a matter of silver, the shopkeeper Tang is also a trader, and he should know the truth that 'businessmen value profit more than trust, and it is difficult to establish faith in three and five years, and betrayal is only in one thought'." ”
Speaking of this, he saw that Tang Fuguo's face fell, so he paused slightly, and suddenly changed his words, and said: "In this way, I will tell Tian Dongjia when I go back, and in the future, the share of Mulan Spring Wine supplied to Zuixianlou every month will be increased by three percent from the original basis, as for the price, it will remain the same, how about it?" ”
"Huh?"
Tang Fuguo suddenly felt joy descending from the sky, his face turned into joy in an instant, and his eyes widened and he exclaimed: "Really? ”
Cui Geng affirmed: "A gentleman is quick to say a word, how can such a thing be joked? ”
The share of wine supply has increased by 30% every month, and the price remains the same!
Now that Mulan Spring Wine is so popular, Cui Erlang doesn't take the opportunity to raise prices to blackmail himself, which is too generous, right?
Tang Fuguo secretly pulled his fingers, this is obviously to send the silver of the white flowers to his bowl!
Secretly happy, he was still a little incredulous: "Do you really count? ”
Cui Geng shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Why don't you send someone to invite Tian Dong's family now, just say that I am in the Drunken Immortal Building now!" The two of us are facing the gong and drumming in front of each other, and the shopkeeper Tang finally believes it, right? ”
Seeing Cui Geng say this, does Tang Fuguo have any reason to believe it?
Inexplicably, he suddenly thought in his heart that although Cui Erlang and Tian Wenkun have different division of labor, he can be his master, could it be that Tian Wenkun is also working for Cui Erlang? claims that each has its own division of labor, but in fact, he alone has the final say?
Thinking of this, Tang Fuguo seemed to understand something, and hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "No need, Cui Shaodong's family has said everything, how can Tang dare to bother Tian Dong's family to run in person?" ”
Nowadays, businessmen and traders in the entire Qingyuan County know that Mulan Spring Wine is an endless cornucopia. Tang Fuguo saw that Tian Wenkun, a foreigner who did goods from the north and south, not only caught up with Cui Erlang, but also could hear it inside and outside the words, Cui Geng trusted Tian Wenkun very much, it seems that in less than two years, this Tian Wenkun will definitely make a lot of money and become rich.
In a trance, he couldn't help but be a little envious of Tian Wenkun's encounter, and said with envy: "Alas, Tian Dong's family is really lucky, he can get such trust from Cui Shaodong's family, with this Mulan spring wine, it will be difficult for him to be prosperous in the future!" ”
Sour ......
Cui Geng smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Tang is wrong! When I was in distress and embarrassment, I was able to get the trust and help of the Tian family, how could it not be Cui Geng's luck? What is the saying? The king treats me as a countryman, and I should repay him as a countryman! In the same way, if the Tian Dong family can trust me to help me at the end of the day, I will give him a lifetime of wealth, so what? ”
With a word, Cui Geng gently flicked his sleeves and turned up the stairs and walked towards the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Building. Cao Yuechan made an appointment with him to have a dinner in the Tianzi private room on the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Building.
"The king treats me as a countryman, and I should repay him as a countryman!"
"Give him a lifetime of wealth!"
Tang Fuguo chewed Cui Geng's two sentences in his mouth, looked at the thin back of the escalator upstairs in a daze, and a sense of admiration rose in his heart, and suddenly raised his hand and gave a thumbs up, and praised him from afar: "Cui Shaodong, you are a character!" ”
……
……
On the second floor, the private room is a private room.
The guy upstairs led Cui Geng to the door, knocked on the door three times, gently pushed open the hidden door, and invited Cui Geng into the private room.
This day is the best private room of the drunken fairy building, set up on the street, leaning on the window and looking at the bustling street scene of the archway street, looking into the distance, just can see the city gate building of the west gate of Qingyuan County.
As soon as Cui Geng came in, what jumped into his eyes was a young woman wearing a shirt with peony petals and big sleeves bowing her head, crackling and tapping on the abacus with one hand, and a thick account book in the other hand, completely forgetful, and she didn't mean to look up at the person who came in at all.
This woman is undoubtedly Cao Yuechan.
Moreover, the table in this private room was empty, and it was not full of delicacies and good wine as expected, but a small jar of wine and two glasses were placed in the nearest position to him.
Rather than talking about the altar, it is better to say the pot, and it is a pot of wine that has not been opened in the mud, and the ordinary wine jar on the market is different, this wine pot is azure, tall and thin with two ears, quite beautiful, about a pound of packaging, it is one of the various wine utensils specially customized by Cui's Wine Workshop for Mulan Spring Wine, small amount of fine packaging, used to sell various wine shops and restaurants.
Still, there was only one jug of wine and two glasses.
That's all!
Seeing this, Cui Geng wondered, where is this to invite someone to dinner, is it okay to invite someone to come to see your work at all?
Don't even say hello? This is really arrogant!
This......
It's a bit cold!
"Ahem......"
Cui Gengqing coughed.
At this time, although the other party did not raise his head, he also slowed down the speed of dialing the plan, and responded softly: "Coming?" ”
Gone!
just said that, and continued to crackle and knock on the abacus to reconcile.
I...... Your sister!
Cui Geng was really angry at this time, what did you call it? Is this a greeting of guests? Did you invite me to dinner? Miss!
At this time, Cao Yuechan still didn't look up, stopped and pointed to the wine pot in front of Cui Geng, and said: "Cui Shaodong, there is wine and a cup on the table, please take care of yourself!" After I finished the last account, I beckoned the guy to serve the food. ”
Wipe!
Cui Geng was so angry that he ascended to heaven when he heard this, what do you mean? Is this the rhythm of asking a certain family to punish themselves? Looks like I arrived as promised, and I wasn't late!
But now he also has a little dry mouth, so let's have a drink to moisten his throat before anything else.
Immediately, he gently opened the mud seal, slowly poured himself a full cup of Mulan spring wine in the pot, and without looking at Cao Yuechan, he copied the cup and got up, with a bang, full of drink!
But as soon as this wine entered his throat, Cui Geng frowned, smashed his mouth twice in disbelief, and muttered, "Why is this wine a little wrong?" ”
He suspiciously picked up the wine jug again and looked at it carefully, yes, this is his Mulan spring wine, it can't be wrong! This wine pot was specially customized by him to find a porcelain kiln.
But how did the wine in this pot change its flavor when you drink it? Could it be that there is something wrong with the taste buds?
Immediately afterwards, he poured himself another glass of the letter, first sniffed the quilt under his nose twice, and then put it to his lips and tasted it one by one......
"That's not right!"
He put the wine glass back on the table and said categorically: "Although this wine is labeled as a wine label for Mulan Spring Wine, and it is also a wine pot unique to Mulan Spring Wine, I dare to assert that this is definitely not my Mulan Spring Wine!" ”
Knockoff!
This wine is definitely a copycat of imitation Mulan spring wine from the inside out!
There are two pots when there is one pot, and there are many, many ......
That's a red flag!
He suddenly walked around the table in three or two steps, came to Cao Yuechan's side, subconsciously grabbed her slender wrist, and asked, "This is not the real Mulan Spring Wine, you tell me, where did this wine come from?" ”
"Ah, lighter, you hurt me, Cui Erlang!"
Cao Yuechan threw away the account book in her hand in pain and snorted in displeasure.
