Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

After finishing speaking, Fang Jun took Du He and Yuchi Baoqi and handed each other over again, then passed him by and walked away quickly.

Chang Sun Chong: "???"

"You..." Chang Sun Chong stared blankly at the backs of the three of them, and suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, were these three people bought by Zhang Dun?

How can it be!

After all, you are the sons of the duke of the state, Zhang Dun is a commoner, what will he use to bribe you?

Two servants from Duke Qi's mansion came over, and both of them listened to their conversation just now.

There were two servants, one tall and one short, and the tall servant asked in confusion, "Young Master, why are they pretending not to know you?"

Chang Sun Chong's expression was ugly. Although he found it incredible, it was an indisputable fact that Fang Jun, Du He, and Yuchi Baoqi's attitudes were bought by Zhang Dun.

"Could it be..." The short servant thought of something, and his expression changed slightly.

"Stop talking!" The eldest grandson interrupted his guess with a dark face, clenched his fists, his chest heaved and heaved, and said angrily: "I'm really blind, I treat them as brothers!"

"Go, go home!"

Chang Sun Chong turned around angrily, and headed towards Duke Qi's mansion.

The tall servant hurriedly chased after him, "My lord, are we not going to Pingkangfang?"

"What are you going to do? Do you think I'm still in the mood to go?" Changsun Chong scolded, "Go on your own!"

The tall servant and the short servant looked at each other, the last time Changsun Chong was so angry was when Princess Changle ran away from marriage.

The two didn't think about it anymore, and hurried to catch up.

Yongyangfang, Zhang family.

After Zhang Dun sent Fang Jun, Du He, and Yuchi Baoqi away, he walked to a corner of the courtyard and murmured to himself: "Sure enough, as the old saying goes, caution can catch thousands of cicadas, and careful sailing can save thousands of years. "

"Things that were prepared before can be used now."

Zhang Dun leaned down and swept the soil on the ground, and an entrance to the cellar suddenly appeared.

Opening the cellar, Zhang Dun walked down the ladder. After a while, he moved boxes half as tall as a person out.

"If Chang Zhi knows that I have hidden so many things, will she be angry?"

Zhang Dun looked at each box, sighed and said to himself.

Since living here, Zhang Dun seems to have done nothing on weekdays, but in fact he has done a lot of things behind his back.

But all these things he did were secretly hidden from his elders.

Later, when I wanted to tell Chang Zhi, Zhang Dun found that there were a lot of hidden things, and it was a bit difficult to talk about, so he didn't talk about it.

Zhang Dun opened the box, and the contents of the box were immediately seen again.

"Soap, candles, rock sugar..."

Zhang Dun looked at the contents of a dozen boxes and nodded in satisfaction.

"Almost enough."

"Tomorrow, send them all to Zuixian Tower!"

----

In the early morning of the next day, Zuixian Tower.

Hu Guang yawned, and after getting up early to wash up, he opened the gate of Zuixian Tower.

As soon as he opened the door, Hu Guang was startled, only to see Zhang Dun standing at the door wearing a green shirt.

"Brother Zhang, why don't you make a sound." Hu Guang wiped his sweat and said, "Aren't you scaring people to death so early in the morning?"

"Huh? What's the matter with these boxes?"

Hu Guang said in surprise when he saw more than a dozen boxes behind him.

"It's for grabbing business."

Zhang Dun smiled, looked at Hu Guang's perplexed appearance, and without explaining much, pointed to the outside of the restaurant and said, "Brother Hu, bring out three pieces of paper and put them at the door."

Hu Guang hurriedly followed suit. He moved a few cases and put them outside the restaurant, while Zhang Dun moved a dozen boxes into the restaurant.

"Brother Zhang, you are strong enough." Hu Guang was a little surprised. Those boxes looked heavy, but Zhang Dun carried them one by one and walked away without seeing him struggling at all.

"I've practiced before." Zhang Dun explained casually, then opened a box.

In the box, there are small wooden boxes the size of a palm.

Originally there was no wooden box in the box, but for the sake of appearance, Zhang Dun deliberately bought these with the money given by Hu Guang yesterday afternoon.

Zhang Dun pointed to the small wooden boxes in the box and said, "Brother Hu, put these things on the cases outside."

"Okay!" Hu Guang nodded, and the small wooden boxes in the half-person tall box were all put on the tables outside by him in a short time.

"What are you doing this early in the morning?" Suddenly, a piercing voice rang in the ears of the two: "Is this a plan to quit and start selling?"

Hu Guang looked up and saw the Dingshenglou shopkeeper standing at the door with his hands behind his back, looking at them jokingly.

Hu Guang spat: "Even if your Dingsheng building is closed, I won't sell anything!"

The shopkeeper in Dingsheng Building sneered, walked up to Hu Guang, looked at the small wooden boxes on the table, and asked, "What are these?"

Hu Guang rolled his eyes and said, "Can you control it?"

The owner of the Dingshenglou store frowned, and said, "You think I'm a rarity for rags?"

Hu Guang stared at him with wide eyes, and said: "If you have something to say, please speak up, don't swear, if you continue to swear, I will not be polite to you!"

The owner of Dingshenglou snorted coldly, turned around and left.

"Look at his virtue!" Hu Guang cursed in a low voice, looked back at Zhang Dun who was packing the wooden box in the restaurant, and asked, "Brother Zhang, what's in this wooden box?"

"Soap." Zhang Dun turned back and smiled at him.

Hu Guang's eyes lit up: "Good stuff!"

Zhang Dun asked curiously, "Do you know soap?"

Hu Guang shook his head: "I don't know."

Zhang Dun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Then what are you talking about?"

"Brother Zhang bought something extraordinary."

Hu Guang laughed, thinking that Zhang Dun bought the items in these boxes with the 100 taels of gold, and asked, "Brother Zhang, what price do we sell for this soap?"

"We don't sell it." Zhang Dun shook his head and said, "We give it away."

"Ah?" Hu Guang exclaimed, "Send it? To whom?"

Zhang Dun pointed to the pedestrians on the street, and said, "We will give it to anyone who passes this way."

Hu Guang said cautiously, "When shall we deliver it?"

Zhang Dun said solemnly: "Of course it will be delivered until supplies last."

"Brother Zhang." Hu Guang's voice trembled, "You can't do business like this. If you do it like this, you must lose more than I do!"

Zhang Dun is speechless, is there anyone in this world who can do business worse than you?

In the past, I only thought that it was a joke to import coal from other places and sell it in Datong. Who knew that you just made this joke into a real thing!

"Brother Zhang, listen to my brother's advice." Hu Guang said anxiously: "Business is not like your approach. The focus of business is to make money. There is no reason to send money out."

Zhang Dun smiled, glanced at Dingshenglou, and said softly: "Brother Hu, I have a sense of proportion. After three days, after delivering the contents of the box, I guarantee that your business in Zuixianlou will be better than Dingshenglou!"

Chapter 17 Hair Soap

Hu Guang looked at him with an ashen face, you still have to send him off for three days?Want to send out everything in the box?

Isn't that just sending money to these people who come to Pingkangfang?

But seeing Zhang Dun's confident appearance, Hu Guang opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the words that poured into his throat.

"Okay, I'll listen to brother Zhang!" Hu Guang gritted his teeth and said, "Do what you say, then do it!"

Looking at Hu Guang's pained look, Zhang Dun couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, Brother Hu, I won't let you lose money."

Hu Guang smiled wryly and said, "It's okay to lose money, I'm used to it."

The two of them sat behind the desk with their chairs in their hands, and looked at the street.

At this moment, there were not many people on Pingkang Square, but as time passed, there were more pedestrians on the street.

However, when the passers-by on the street passed the Zuixian Tower, they just looked curiously at the two sitting behind the desk, but no one stopped.

Hu Guang whispered: "Brother Zhang, why don't we shout a few times to recruit people?"

Zhang Dun nodded slightly, "Alright, you read as I said."

As he spoke, he whispered a few words in Hu Guang's ear.

Hu Guang clicked his tongue and said, "Can this work?"

"Sure." Zhang Dun said with a smile.

"Then I'll read it." Hu Guang gritted his teeth, stood up and shouted to both sides of the street: "Zuixianlou gave away money, gave away money!"

"As long as you come to Zuixianlou, don't talk about money, Zuixianlou will send you!"

"Send money, no one wants to send money? Are you so rich?"

On the street outside Zuixian Tower, Hu Guanghao's voices made those who were curious but didn't stop immediately stop in their tracks.

"Send money? True or false?"

"What is Zuixianlou doing?"

Pedestrians on the street surrounded him curiously.

"Shopkeeper, is what you said true?"

Someone said, "Really send money?"

Hu Guang turned his head and glanced at Zhang Dun. According to what you said, these voices really called people here, but what should we do next?

These people who gathered around were not vegetarians.

Hu Guang looked at the people who came up, all of them were wearing brocade silk and satin, they were not shopkeepers in Pingkangfang, or some rich men.

It's easier to invite gods than to give them away. If they feel cheated, the Zuixian Tower won't last until the end of the year, so it has to close now.

Zhang Dun stood up and said with a smile on his face, "What my Zuixianlou store said is naturally true."

"Next Zhou Jin." One of the young rich men narrowed his eyes, waved his palm in front of him, and said, "Give me the money."

Zhang Dun picked up a palm-sized small wooden box from the table and put it in his hand.

Zhou Jin raised his brows, "Didn't you say to give money?"

"This is money." Zhang Dun watched him wrinkle his brows, looking suspicious, and explained patiently:

"Exchanging grain and rice for things, is grain and rice money? Trading silk and silk, is silk money? Both are not copper coins, but they can be used as copper coins. It can be seen that grain, rice, silk and silk are no different from money."

"The things we sent from Zuixianlou are also for the same reason."

Zhou Jin asked, "What is this?"

Zhang Dun said with a smile: "You open it yourself, don't you know?"

Suspiciously, Zhou Jin opened the wooden box, and saw a boxy object that was less than the size of a palm and smelled of fragrance, placed in the wooden box.

"For food?" Zhou Jin asked curiously.

Zhang Dun looked at Hu Guang and said, "Brother Hu, go fetch a basin of water."

Hu Guang nodded quickly, and when he ran back, he was holding a wooden basin full of water in his hand.

Zhang Dun picked up a pinch of soil from the ground, applied it on Zhou Jin's hands, and said, "This is called soap, and it's similar to bath beans. Try it."

Zhou Jin took out the soap from the wooden box, washed it in the wooden basin, and then smelled the palm of his hand, his eyes froze.

"smell good."

"Better than bath beans."
