I’m The King Chapter 13: :Profitable business
Coincidentally, when Gao Yuan arrived at the gate of Lu Mansion, he happened to meet Lu Hong coming back from the Yamen under the guard of several servants. Gao Yuan took a few steps and greeted him.
"Uncle, it's time to go to the office!"
"It's Gaoyuan!" Lu Hong nodded, "I've been so busy this time, it's finally come to an end, the grain and grass are in storage, and I can rest for a while."
"I know that uncle has been exhausted for a while, so my nephew specially made two jugs of wine to relieve your fatigue!" Gao Yuan brightened the wine jar in his hand and said with a smile.
"Come here whenever you want, what kind of wine to buy, and what good wine can be bought on the street, don't you know that the wine in our mansion is sent by Wu County Magistrate, which is much better than the ones sold on the street, you If you're hungry, just come here, don't make any excuses, your elder brother is gone, and I'm feeling bored, so you can talk to me." Lu Hong tapped Gao Yuan on the head.
"Uncle, my wine is different from the one sold on the street!" Gao Yuan approached Lu Hong and said with a smile.
"Oh, it's different?" He stared at Gao Yuan with interest, "What's the difference? There's only one liquor store in Fufeng County, and there's no semicolon. Could it be that you can still make liquor?"
The two met the door while talking and laughing, Gao Yuan lowered his voice, "Nephew can't be changed, but nephew can make wine."
Lu Hong suddenly stopped in his tracks, "Could it be that you are better than the wine made by Wu's family?"
"Uncle, you will know once you try it." Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"Okay, I want to try it!" Lu Hong said, "If it's not good, I'll spank your ass."
"Let uncle handle it."
As soon as the mud seal was opened, there was a strong smell of wine in the room. Lu Hong, who was taking off his official robe, stopped suddenly, and turned around abruptly, "It smells good!" He blurted out.
Gao Yuan smiled triumphantly, picked up the jar, and as the wine poured from the jar into the bowl, Lu Hong's eyes widened when he saw the juice that was as clear as a spring. Compared with the somewhat cloudy wine in the Wu family, the appearance of Gao Yuan's wine is much better.
"Uncle, have a taste!" Gao Yuan picked up the wine bowl and gave it to Lu Hong with both hands. He didn't worry about Lu Hong drinking like Ye Jing'er, but every old wine nerd has his own experience in drinking.
Sure enough, Lu Hong took the wine bowl, put it to his nose first, took a deep breath, then took a small sip, closed his eyes, and swirled the wine in his mouth several times. Only then did it slowly flow down the throat and up and down, and with a hot current rising from the lower abdomen, the whole body was warmed up immediately.
Take another sip, and this time the swallowing speed is obviously faster. During the whole process, Lu Hong's eyes have never been opened. Zhuo Luhong.
After a while, Lu Hong sighed a long time, "Good wine, good wine, drink a bowl of this wine, really happy like a god." Eyes opened suddenly, "Gao Yuan, this wine is really you Homebrew."
"Yes, Uncle, last time I had a drink at Uncle's place, and I felt it was bland, so when I went back, I thought about getting some really good wine for Uncle to drink. After a month of fiddling in the house, I finally got these wines .” Gao Yuan laughed.
"Good wine, good wine, you have a heart!" Lu Hong laughed loudly, "Unfortunately, if the wine in Fufeng County wasn't controlled by Lao Wu, you could make a fortune with this skill."
"It doesn't matter whether you get rich or not, I just fiddled with this wine and we can drink it."
"It's a pity, it's a pity!" Lu Hong shook his head repeatedly, "It's a pity that Mingzhu is hidden." His eyes rolled a few times, he slapped the table suddenly, and said loudly: "Yes, Gao Yuan, you can't sell wine, but you can Sell this wine-making recipe to Old Wu, let's knock him a fortune, if you don't believe him he won't bleed a lot."
Gao Yuan looked at Lu Hong, "Uncle, is County Magistrate Wu willing to buy it?"
"Of course I'll buy it!" Lu Hong laughed and said, "This is their family's business. Seeing that they have such good wine, it's no wonder he didn't work hard to get it. He's still worried that you will buy it." This recipe is sold to others, no one in Fufeng County dares to buy it, don’t they have it in other counties, doesn’t it exist in the county, if there is such a good wine, who would drink the muddy soup made by his Wu family before?” Gao Yuan's wine, the Wu family's good wine that Lu Hong praised so much before, immediately turned into a muddy soup.
"It's all up to uncle!" Gao Yuan rolled his eyes a few times, and suddenly had an idea in his mind, "Uncle, since County Magistrate Wu is willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, we can't sell it."
"Why is this?" Lu Hong was puzzled, "I can say with certainty that even if Old Wu was asked to bring a thousand guan, he would still buy it."
"Uncle, listen to what you said, my wine-making recipe is still a unique skill. If I sell it for a thousand guan, wouldn't it be a one-shot deal? In the future, I will see the Wu family get rich. Are you staring at me?”
"We can't make wine, Gao Yuan, don't be greedy, if you really want to make wine, you will definitely not be able to stay in Fufeng County, and I can't protect you. You have cut off your wealth, others It would be strange not to work hard with you."
"I don't make wine, but Uncle, we can form a joint stock with him! Let's take this formula and give him a joint stock, and we will share it in the future. Isn't it rich every year and surplus every year?"
"I'm afraid Old Wu won't."
"Nephew has his own way to make him agree." Gao Yuan said confidently.
He gave Gao Yuan a half-believing look, "Okay, I'll have someone invite Magistrate Wu to come here. Butler, butler!" Lu Hong shouted loudly.
Lu Bin ran over all the way, "Master, what are your orders?"
"You go to the Wu county magistrate's mansion right away, and tell him that I have important matters to discuss with him, so I ask him to come to the mansion by all means,"
"Yes, sir!"
Lu Hong picked up the wine bowl and drank the wine in one gulp, "It's really good wine, the wine in this half of my life can be regarded as a waste!" He smacked his mouth and shook his head, still wanting more.
Gao Yuan walked over with a smile, helped Lu Hong take off his official robe, and said: "In the future, if uncle wants to drink, nephew will get it for you. This is not a good thing. By the way, uncle, there is one more thing for nephew I want to report to you."
"Well, what is it?"
"Master Ye promised my marriage with Ye Jing'er, and said that when Jing'er turns sixteen next year, we will get married."
Lu Hong was stunned for a moment, "Did you not think about what I told you before?"
Gao Yuan hesitated for a moment, and said: "Think about it, Mrs. Ye also told me about it."
Lu Hong was startled, "He really has something to do with the incident nine years ago. Gao Yuan, I think it's better to forget it. There are no grasses anywhere in the world. Why do you have to use this woman? If it doesn't work out, it will be troublesome."
"But uncle, I just like Miss Jing'er. Besides, it has been so many years, and few people still remember it. Even if there is any trouble, isn't there still uncle, behind uncle is there a prefect? ?Even if they don’t give the uncle face, they must give the prefect some face, right?”
Lu Hong sighed, "That's what I said, but you also know that I'm just one of the prefect's personal soldiers. If something really big happens, the prefect may not take the risk for me!"
"Don't worry too much, uncle. Since they have been hiding for nine years, why can't they hide for another ninety years? There is nothing to be afraid of in Fufeng County where the sky is high and the emperor is far away."
"You can figure it out on your own. It's best to hide it from the past." Lu Hong shook his head. "Forget it, I don't care about you, and as you said, since we haven't lived in peace for nine years It's not a problem to hide for another ninety years. By the way, when are you going to take office?"
"I've been planning to go for a few days, and I'm here today to talk to my uncle."
"Well, when will you go, I will send my own soldiers to send you to the post, to sound the alarm for those soldiers, lest they see you as young and bully you."
"With my uncle in charge, who would dare to bully me?" Gao Yuan said relaxedly.
"Maybe, I don't dare to, I will trip you up in the dark, so that you can't tell what you suffer, and after working for a while, you will run away by yourself. This matter, your uncle and I, when we were young It's not that you haven't done it before?" Lu Hong laughed loudly.
"Don't worry, uncle, no matter what happens, I won't let you run away. Isn't that embarrassing for uncle?"
"Okay, then I'd like to see how you can restrain those soldiers!" Lu Hong said with a smile: "The young man is really energetic, but you have suffered a disadvantage, so you are not allowed to come here and cry, uncle. Sometimes it's not easy for me to come forward and force things in the military."
"Nephew understands!"
"Let's go, the time is almost up, let's go to welcome Wu county magistrate, today we have to pull out our teeth, so we must be more respectful in front, this is called courtesy before soldiers, right?" Lu Hong said with a smile. If you can really get a large sum of money, Gao Yuan, you have to borrow it from me first, it will be Chinese New Year soon, and I have to prepare a New Year gift for the prefect!"
"My uncle's is my uncle's. If you don't want to borrow it, uncle can use it."
"You kid, you have a really sweet mouth. It's strange to say that after you were injured this time, your temperament has changed a lot compared to before. I don't know you."
"Turning around in the Palace of the King of Hell, naturally you have to be more mature!" Gao Yuan smiled to cover up the past.
