    Chapter Index

    Wei Ruo replied, “As Boss Fan also knows, my wine production is only so much, and I only produce so many two or three jars per day.”

    Fan Chengxu opened the condition: “I know it since, but still hope that brother Wo right can cut the love, brother Wo right if you can give me a few more jars of wine, I will let you get a mansion in the outskirts of the capital, how?”

    Some of the mansions in the capital can’t be bought with money, you have to have status.

    Although this condition is tempting, Wei Ruo can’t agree to it, because her identity of Xu Heyu is fake, this land deed and house deed can’t be transferred to her.

    Wei Ruo also knows that Fan Chengxu is willing to give himself such an attractive offer, and is not really rushing to a few jars of wine, after all, a few jars of jiu are no more expensive than a mansion in the capital.

    He’s kind of looking for an excuse to buy himself a wave.

    “That’s not necessary. Boss Fan and I still have some friendship, I’m willing to gift Boss Fan two extra jars of Thyme, I just hope that Boss Fan doesn’t mind the wine being small.” Wei Ruo said.

    Hearing Wei Ruo say this, Fan Chengxu couldn’t help but feel a little happy in his heart.

    Although there were only two altars, this was the first time Xu Heyu didn’t count the money with him so clearly.

    It can be seen that in Xu Heyu’s heart to treat him still has a few points of friendship in.

    Then Wei Ruo added to Qi Zhen, “Mr. Qi is sorry, there really isn’t any more.”

    Her two jars were sent to Fan Chengxu, not for sale, and she made it clear that she really didn’t have much, so it made sense to reject Qi Zhen’s at this moment.

    Qi Zhen smiled, “There is no harm, if I want to drink it myself, I will come here to drink a pot of it with Brother Fan, but I think the person who gave it to me won’t be able to drink such a beautiful wine for a while.”

    Fan Chengxu said, “I don’t have more than I need here, a pot a day can still be saved for you.”

    Qi Zhen said, “Well then, you leave me a pot every day, you keep it whether I come or not, and when I keep it for a few days, I can also keep an altar, and then I can give it away.”

    “It’s also possible.” Fan Chengxu replied.

    As they were talking, one of Qi Zhen’s men entered the room and whispered something in Qi Zhen’s ear.

    Qi Zhen’s face changed before he said to Fan Chengxu and Wei Ruo, “Sorry, Brother Fan, Mr. Xu, I have some things to take care of, so I’ll take my leave.”

    “Alright, Brother Qi will be busy with yours first.” Fan Chengxu said.

    And then Qi Zhen left.

    Once he left, the smile on Fan Chengxu’s face became relaxed and real from the original polite hypocrisy.

    He is a smiling tiger, he can laugh at Chu Lan and Qi Zhen, but it’s hard to say how much of the laugh is real.

    Without the obtrusive in, Fan Chengxu unapologetically said to Wei Ruo, “I won’t hide it from you, I don’t want to see this Duke Qi at all.”

    “Oh? Why?” Wei Ruo asked.

    “Wo right brother may not know, this Duke Qi is the Sixth Prince’s person, and most likely came to the Taizhou Prefecture for the Sixth Prince to do his business. I have no intention to get involved in their fight, but they all love to find me, stirring me up. Today I have invited you, I would not have invited anyone else, but this Mr. Qi came uninvited, so I can’t kick him out.”

    Fan Chengxu saying this was also a way of explaining to Wei Ruo why there was a third person present when she came today.

    “Boss Fan is well-liked and well-connected.” Wei Ruo said.

    “It is true that my uncle has some involvement with the people that Prince Qi serves, but what does that have to do with me? As for that seventh prince …… hey, don’t mention it.”

    Fan Chengxu shook his head helplessly, even in his smile.

    Wei Ruo smiled and didn’t answer.

    Fan Chengxu then added, “It’s also interesting to say that this small Taizhou Prefecture has inexplicably attracted so many prominent dignitaries from the capital.”

    The two emperors, the eldest grandson of General Lu, and the third son of Chief Minister Qi’s family, which one of them is not a prominent person in the capital?

    Wei Ruo said carelessly, “Perhaps it’s because the Taizhou Province is so well endowed.”

    Fan Chengxu snorted, ”A place of great talent? One side is the Japanese invasion, the other side is the poor harvest, Taizhou province is what kind of people and land? To say that this Japanese invasion is really a reason, without this war, the seventh prince will not come here to be the governor. But his coming over in the beginning and the Sixth Prince sending someone now are both for other things.”

    “Oh? Something else?” Wei Ruo asked in mock disbelief.

    “It’s a rumor about the ninth prince, before it was just a rumor, but after the matter of Duke Xu overturning the case came out, more people in the court started to believe that the ninth prince is still alive.” Fan Chengxu explained.

    “Does Boss Fan think that this Ninth Prince is really still alive?” Wei Ruo asked.

    “I don’t care if he’s alive or not, all I care about is when they’re going to give me a clean slate.”

    Fan Chengxu leaned back in his chair, shaking his fan with a hint of self-deprecation in his subdued elegance.

    Immediately after that, Fan Chengxu looked at Wei Ruo with interest, “Wo right brother do you care about this?”

    “To say that I care and I don’t care, but to say that I don’t care at all is also false, I can’t intervene in their fight, but their fight will affect me to make money, I care about my silver, naturally, I have to care about them as well.” Wei Ruo explained.

    Fan Chengxu said, “In that case there is some truth, if there is any change of wind and clouds in the dynasty, I will inform brother Wo right so that brother Wo right can have a preparation in his heart.”

    “Then I’ll thank Boss Fan in advance.”

    “That won’t be necessary; now that you and I are partners in earning money, your silver concerns mine as well.”

    Wei Ruo talked with Fan Chengxu in the Drunken Immortal Residence until the evening, without Qi Zhen in the way, the two of them talked about the recent tea, liquor, spices and mushroom business.

    Among these businesses, tea is the most lucrative and profitable.

    The black tea has opened up new markets for Fan Chengxu and brought in lucrative revenue, which Wei Ruo accounts for half of.

    Although the market for white wine is hot, Wei Ruo has not been able to give the production volume, so instead, the total profit is the lowest.

    The rest of those although the profit is not high, but in large quantities, so this nearly half a year down, Wei Ruo from the profit is also a lot.

    During this time the two also talked about the next commercial layout of these businesses, including the second half of the Yu Sheng tea garden fertilizer improvement, tea sales expansion and the layout of the provincial city to open a new restaurant.

    Finally, we also talked about the situation outside today, the prediction of this fall’s grain production, as well as the next wheat, rice and sweet potatoes, the price trend of these staple foods.

    In the evening, Yun asked the kitchen to add dishes to give Wei Yi Chen a practice run.

    Early tomorrow morning Wei Yi-chen will depart for the provincial capital.

    Autumn test is approaching, he should go a few days earlier, only because of the kidnapping injury delayed, in the home to recuperate for so many days, and now see him completely improved, Yun’s only rest assured to let him go out.

    Apart from Wei Mingting, all the other members of the family were present, including Wei Jin, who seldom dined with everyone, and even Wei Qingwan, whose injuries had not healed, was there.
