Kou Zheng laughed, and saluted Guan Shaohe again, this Kou Zheng is certainly an expert recruited by Han Mo with a high salary, but in this trading house, it is naturally indispensable to have a guy sent by the Guan trading house.

At that moment, Han Mo and his party were welcomed in, but the trade house was full of guests, people came and went, the goods in the shop were dazzling, and there were many kinds, and every guy was very enthusiastic to explain patiently to any customer who entered the trade house, a lively scene, several times more lively than any shop along the way.

Han Mo came here, just to take a turn at random, take a look at the trade house, sit in the back hall, eat melons and fruits with tea, listen to Kou Zheng's detailed report on all aspects of the trade house, and wait until Kou Zheng finished speaking, Han Mo smiled and said: "Master Kou, with you in charge of Nanyang, the Kanto family and I are worry-free." After a pause, he asked, "I heard that this side of Nanyang is very interested in our silk?" ”

"Exactly." Kou Zheng said with a smile: "My Central Plains silk is soft and comfortable, and it is the most sought-after to buy here in Nanyang, and the profit is also the highest." ”

Han Mo thought for a while, and then asked, "I walked around Nanyang City today, and I saw many people wearing clothes made of our silk, but ......!" ”

"Fifth Young Master instructs!" Kou Zheng saw that Han Mo seemed to have some opinions, and hurriedly gave up.

Han Mo smiled: "It's not a big deal. However, Master Kou should also know that in my Central Plains, occasionally adding some embroidery patterns on silk will add a lot of color, especially for women's dresses, hooking a few stitches of lily roses, not only to make the clothes more colorful, but also to add a lot ......of color to the wearer! ”

Guan Shaohe deserved to be a master in business, and immediately reacted and asked, "The fifth young master is talking about embroidery?" Xiang Kou Zheng asked, "Master Kou, is there an embroidery workshop in this Nanyang?" ”

Kou Zheng shook his head and said: "Back to the Kanto family, Nanyang people don't have many clever painters and carvers, but there is no embroidery workshop. The fifth young master's words are good, if this silk dress is embroidered with some embroidery, it will naturally look much better, but the goods sent from China are all pieces of silk, and it is not good to embroider them directly on ......! ”

Han Mo bowed slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally smiled: "I came to Nanyang this time, but I brought you a clever embroidery master. Picking up the teacup, taking a sip of tea, he smiled and said, "Master Kou, I want you to do me a favor, just spend a lot of money next to your trading house to build a larger storefront, and then open an embroidery workshop, you can say to your guests in the future, if you want to add embroidery to silk clothes, you can go to the embroidery workshop to ......!" ”

Kou Zheng understood, and immediately said, "Fifth Young Master, leave this matter to me." If you have a larger storefront, as long as you spend a little more money, it will not be difficult. ”

"In that case, it's time for you to do so." Han Mo got up: "You can do this matter quickly, and you can even do it today...... As for the embroiderer, when you have set up the embroidery workshop, she will naturally come over. After a pause, he seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said: "Master Kou, in the future, you will take care of the big and small things in the embroidery workshop, you will take care of ......!" ”

Guan Shaohe heard it on the side, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, he didn't see what embroidery master Han Mo had brought, but Han Mo wanted to open an embroidery workshop in Nanyang, and it was so solemn, he took care of it several times, couldn't it be ......!

He didn't stay long in the trading house, Kou Zheng also knew that Han Mo was now in a noble position, and he didn't dare to stay in the trading house for dinner, so after drinking a few cups of tea with him, Han Mo was about to leave, and Kou Zheng hurriedly sent him off.

Walking to the front hall, Han Mo whispered to Kou Zheng about something, and before he went out, a person suddenly came in from outside the door, almost colliding with Han Mo, and a Nanyang guard next to him had already stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pushed it over, and scolded loudly in his mouth.

Queen Fujiwara sent more than a dozen Nanyang guards to follow Han Mo, that is, to tell Han Mo not to be damaged by a single hair, these guards naturally kept it in mind, but now someone almost came in and hit the Nanyang King, and the guards naturally stepped forward to push away.

It's just the guard's push, but the man doesn't know whether it's a coincidence or intention, he just takes a step back, and between this push, he actually dodges the guard's push lightly.

The man had already said in a loud voice: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm addicted to alcohol, forgive me......!" "It's an authentic Chinese dialect.

Han Mo had already taken a step back with his hands behind his back, and looked at the man, but saw that the man was wearing a short shirt and a hat, holding a wine gourd in his left hand, and his trouser legs were rolled up, revealing some thin calves, and he looked like a farmer of the Han family.

At this time, Kou Zheng had already stepped forward to explain: "Don't do it, this is an acquaintance." He already smiled and said: "Old nameless, I just played a gourd wine before, and now it's gone?" The little melons and fruits you grow are sold, and the money you earn is not enough for you to drink like this! ”

The man had lifted his hat and showed a very ordinary face, and his exposed hair was very pale, obviously an old man, but the skin on his face did not have the folds of an old man, although it was not very smooth, but it was like a man in his thirties, and his face was full of red, and he looked very energetic.

The old man smiled, glanced at Han Mo, and then said to Kou Zheng: "The wine will be paid first, and the wine money owed will be repaid as soon as it is returned, and I will never owe you a penny of silver." ”

Kou Zheng said with a smile: "Old nameless, this wine money is easy to say, you wave a pen and give me a painting, and the wine money owed is free." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Our old man's painting is not worth ......!" Ignoring Han Mo and a group of people, he walked to the winery in the house and handed the wine gourd to the guy who was drinking.

The Kwan Trading House had a very large and clever layout, with nearly ten counters selling different goods, but the spirits of the Central Plains had a special counter.

Most of the liquor from the Central Plains is the liquor of Yan Kingdom, but this kind of liquor is not very popular in Nanyang, so the storage capacity is not much, and only a very small counter is set up.

Seeing that the old man was familiar with the road, he was obviously a regular customer here.

The guy was not in a hurry to take the wine gourd, he looked at Kou Zheng, and saw that Kou Zheng nodded, so he turned out to be a wine gourd, and went in to add a gourd of wine to the old man.

Seeing Han Mo looking at the old man with a very strange look, Kou Zheng hurriedly approached and said in a low voice: "Fifth Young Master, this old man stayed here in Nanyang before our fleet came to Nanyang, and I don't know how he came here from all over the ocean. After we came to Nanyang, we saw that he was also from the Central Plains, and wanted him to find an easy job in the store, but he refused, he planted some melons and fruits by himself, and often went out to fish, alone, very leisurely. He claims to be over seventy years old, but look at him like that, where is seventy years old! ”

Han Mo stared at the old man and asked softly, "What do you mean by painting?" ”

Kou Zheng hurriedly smiled: "This old guy grows average melons and fruits, and his fishing skills are not clever, but he is very good at painting." It is said that when he first came to Nanyang, he had no relatives, and a fisherman of Nanyang helped him, and he later gave the man a painting, and also told the fisherman not to spread the word. But then the painting was valued by an official, who bought it for a lot of money, and asked the fisherman who painted it, and the fisherman couldn't resist it, and told the truth, and people knew that it was painted by this old guy. It's just that when I found this old guy and asked him to paint another one with ten times the money, he took a pair of ghost painting talismans and said that he couldn't draw at all...... Alas, now I don't know if it's true or not, and no one knows if the priceless painting was painted by this old fellow. ”

At this moment, the old man had already walked over with a wine gourd, and said with a smile: "I will send you the silver when I turn around...... You should also be polite to me, this kind of liquor, Nanyang people are not used to drinking, if it weren't for our people, you can't sell this spirit......! ”

He no longer looked at the crowd, hummed a small tune, and walked away very freely.

Han Mo looked at the old man's distant back, frowned, thoughtful, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Master Kou, do you call him 'Old Nameless'?" ”

"yes." Seeing that Han Mo's expression was wrong, Kou Zheng hurriedly said: "He claims to be nameless and surnameless, we know that he is fooling people, but it is not good to ask too much, so we call him 'Old Nameless'!" ”

"Old nameless...... Nameless......! Han Mo's eyes showed a look of shock, and he asked solemnly, "Master Kou, do you know where he lives?" ”

Kou Zheng nodded and said, "This old man can play chess, but I have also visited his melon field twice and played chess with him...... Fifth Young Master, do you know him? ”

"You take me!" Han Mo immediately said, turning back to Guan Shaohe: "Brother Guan, you go back first, I'll go back when I go!" Without further ado, he chased Kou Zheng out.

Seeing this, the guards behind him hurriedly followed, but Han Mo had already said without looking back: "You don't have to follow!" ”

Kou Zheng saw Han Mo's serious expression, knowing that the matter was very important, and he was in good health, but he still tried his best to catch up, but in the bustling crowd, he didn't see the shadow of the old man at all.

The two turned a few streets, and finally left the city, and Kou Zheng walked out for a while, already out of breath.

After walking for more than half an hour, he finally arrived at a small village outside the royal city, which was sparsely populated and almost crowded, Kou Zheng led Han Mo to a melon field, and saw a hut in the middle of the melon field, which was very simple, and there was a grape trellis next to the hut, and the purple grapes grew very beautifully.

I saw that the old man was already standing under the grape trellis, holding a small bamboo basket in his hand, picking grapes, Han Mo saw it, and his heart was very surprised, he and Kou Zheng rushed all the way without stopping, it stands to reason that the speed is not slow, how can an old man in his seventies rush home before them? This old man is really unusual.

Kou Zheng was already tired and weak at this time, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he stepped forward and sat down on a bamboo chair, panting heavily, pointing at the old man and asking, "You old thing, can't you fly back!" ”

The old man smiled, Han Mo and the others arrived, he didn't seem surprised, picked a bamboo basket of purple grapes, looked at Han Mo, and said with a smile: "King of Nanyang, this place is simple, and it is full of glory." There is nothing to entertain but to entertain your guests with these grapes! ”
