"Huh~" Zhou Chong put down his chopsticks the last time, savoring the delicious and hot taste on the tip of his tongue. If he hadn't been able to hold it in his stomach, he really wanted to eat a few more bites. At this time, Wang Jinxuan and Cheonger were waiting.

The girls were also sitting there sweating profusely, fanning themselves with their hands while drinking ice water in small sips.

"Brother, no wonder you asked us to take care of the chili carefully. It turned out that this thing was so wonderful. You must leave some of the remaining chili for me, otherwise I will not be able to eat in the future!" Jianer took it from Huamei at this time.

A wet towel said to Zhou Chong while wiping his face.

Zhou Chong heard that Jianer was addicted to eating chili peppers, and even asked for some chili peppers from him. In addition, Bai Mengwan and his sisters also showed some desire, which made him smile bitterly and said, "This time the chili seeds

All of them are going to stay. I plan to plant them on a large scale next year, so in the future, I will only grind the dried pepper skin into powder. Then we will divide it, and there may not be many, but this year I can only do this. Wait until the pepper harvest next year.

Then we can all let go and eat!"

Since Bracelet wants it, and the Bai sisters like it very much, Zhou Chong cannot be too stingy. At that time, he decided to divide the peppers he earned this year evenly. After all, among the five people present, Bracelet, Jinxuan and Bai Mengwan were both.

The planting of peppers has made great efforts. As an important member of the chamber of commerce, Bai Junwan has worked hard and made great contributions during this period, not to mention Zhou Chong himself. Therefore, if the distribution of peppers is less, no one is better, so he might as well take them out and divide them equally.

After hearing Zhou Chong's words, the Bai sisters were also very happy. After thanking Zhou Chong, they chatted with Cheyeon and Jinxuan again. However, Bai Junwan had to go to the Chamber of Commerce to help Sanniang in the afternoon, so she was the first one.

After saying goodbye, Wang Jinxuan told Jianer about her and Zhou Jin going to the capital. As a result, Jianer was dissatisfied and insisted on going there. Zhou Chong could not persuade her, so he had to agree to take her there at that time.

Seeing her brother agreeing, Cheer cheered happily. Then she thought of her best friend Bai Mengwan, and turned her head to her and said, "Sister Mengwan, you can go with me at that time, we will be on the way too.

I can be a companion, and the capital is so lively, let’s go to the capital and buy some good gouache and rouge. Then, what if I can give Sanniang and Sister Junwan some of them?"

However, when Bai Mengwan heard Jianer invite her to the capital, her face became a little strange and even a little panicked. She immediately waved her hand and refused and said, "No, Jianer, you can go, I'll stay here.

Please take care of Qingqing at home. After all, my sister is usually busy, Qingqing is still young now and can’t live without people around her.”

Jianer was simple-minded and did not see Bai Mengwan's abnormality. When she heard that she was unwilling to go, she just said disappointedly: "Okay, then I'll buy more things in the capital. Everyone will have a gift at that time."

Bai Mengwan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard that Cheonger did not advise her to go to the capital. However, when her eyes accidentally swept over Zhou Chong, she found that the other party was staring at her aggressively, as if she could see something unspeakable, which made her face look

Yibai, lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhou Chong again.

In the afternoon, Zhou Chong sent someone to inform Ashikaga Ikki, telling him that he could take their Ashikaga family's messenger to Beijing, and now he can start preparing. However, what Zhou Chong did not expect was that he had just sent someone to bring this.

The news informed Ashikaga Ichiki, but in a short while, Ashikaga Ichiki actually came over in person and brought a large number of gifts as thanks.

In the hall of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, large boxes are arranged on the water-milled floor of the living room. The lids of the box have been opened, revealing large pieces of gold and silver inside, as well as pearls, corals, gems, etc., each one is

It was priceless, while Ashikaga Ichikki, who was standing next to him, bowed to Zhou Chong and said, "Young Master Zhou, the little gift is not respectable, I hope you will accept it with a smile!"

If someone gave me such a valuable gift, Zhou Chong might have refused. However, since it was a gift from Ashikaga Ikki, it would be a waste of time. After all, he had helped the other party a lot, so he only saw that

Zhou Chong also laughed and said, "President Ashikaga is so polite. Zhou just helped a little bit and actually asked Brother Ashikaga to spend so much money. It really made Zhou Chong feel uneasy!"

Although Zhou Chong said "uneasy" in his mouth, he had no intention of refusing. Instead, he stared at the gold, silver and wealth in front of him with his eyes glowing. When Ashikaga Ikki saw Zhou Chong's appearance, he naturally understood that the other party was very satisfied.

His own gift, he said with a smile: "Young Master Zhou, you are kind. It may be a small matter for you, but for our Ashikaga family, it is an opportunity that has been waiting for many years. Some money is not enough to express it.

My thanks to Mr. Zhou!”

When he said this, Ashikaga Ichiki suddenly stopped, and then he reached out and patted him a few times, signaling people outside to come in. Zhou Chong didn't expect there were gifts outside, which made him even happier and full of heart.

Looking forward to the living room door.

Soon Zhou Chong saw a flash of people outside, and then four Japanese women in gorgeous kimono walked out in small steps, then stood in a row and saluted Zhou Chong in a strange Chinese language and said, "See you, little girl."

Jump to Master Zhou!”

Zhou Chong looked at the faces of the four Japanese men in front of him with a thick layer of white powder, his eyebrows were almost invisible, but he drew two dots on his eyes, and only a small red dot on his mouth.

And when they were talking just now, Zhou Chong found that the teeth of these Japanese women were all black. He knew that this was a custom of Japanese women. Older girls would use special dyes to dye their teeth black, which is said to be for contrast.

The skin is white, but this is really scary. Fortunately, it is daytime now, and if it is placed at night, it can scare people to death.

"Brother Ashikaga, you are..." Zhou Chong said with a little dumbfounded, thinking that the other party wanted these Japanese girls to give them to him as gifts, right?

Things were indeed not as expected by Zhou Chong. Ashikaga Ikki smiled and said to Zhou Chong: "Mr. Zhou, these are a few noble beauties I brought back from Japan, and they are all virgins who have just passed the 28th year of life, although they cannot be with Daming.

Compared with the beauty of this, she is also extremely gentle and charming. She can help the young master to relieve her boredom. Please make sure to earn money!"

Zhou Chong was a little embarrassed when he heard this. In the past, when he was watching TV, he often saw some makeup dramas giving women as gifts to others, but now it is his turn, but he feels a little embarrassed to accept it. In addition, it is also

The dress of these Japanese people is so weird. They don’t have the appetite just by looking at it. Could it be that the aesthetics of Japanese people are so special?

But as the saying goes, don’t give anything for free. Although Zhou Chong looked at the four Japanese girls in front of him, even if he couldn’t use it, he could still give it to the people of the Chamber of Commerce to win people’s hearts. After all, Shuangyu Port Wharf

Among the brothels, Japanese girls account for a large proportion, so there will definitely be people in the chamber of commerce that like it.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chong smiled and said, "That's right, Zhou thanked Brother Ashikaga for his kindness. Come on, carry these things down, arrange the four ladies well, and let people go.

Prepare the food and drinks, I want to go home with Brother Ashikaga without getting drunk!"

Hearing Zhou Chong's order, the guards from the chamber of commerce agreed, and immediately someone came in to carry a few big boxes back. Several Japanese girls and maids came in to arrange for them to live in the chamber of commerce. As for the wine and food, they were quickly placed. Zhou Chong's tenth

He sat down intimately with Ikki Ashikaga's hand, and while eating, he talked about going to Beijing to meet Emperor Zhengde.

Ashikaga Ikki once again expressed his gratitude to Zhou Chong for the fact that he actually brought the Ashikaga family's envoy to Beijing, but this matter still needs to be informed by him and his cousin, the current shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshitaki.

Then ask the other party to appoint an envoy, and then bring the letter of state and gifts to Beijing to meet, so this requires some time to prepare.

Zhou Chong had already expected this, so he told Wang Jinxuan before that he might have to wait until autumn before leaving. However, Zhou Chong still urged Ashikaga Ichiki to prepare quickly and strive to let Ashikaga Yoshikaga's messenger come to Shuangyu Port as soon as possible.

He could leave early.

Ashikaga Ikki also agreed to Zhou Chong's request. At the same time, in order to show his sincerity, he assured Zhou Chong on the spot that in the next time, his Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce will no longer accept any smuggling business, and will also prepare for full-scale preparations.

The preparations for withdrawing from Shuangyu Port, as for the interests that the Chamber of Commerce cannot take away at Shuangyu Port, will be handed over to the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce for handling.

Seeing Ashikaga Ichiki's journey like this, he had already said it without mentioning it. This made Zhou Chong very satisfied. He was also very happy at the moment and told Ashikaga Ichiki that the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce will be the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in the future.

The first-generation distributor in Japan also gave priority to the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce for goods shipped to Japan. As a result, this made Ashikaga Ichiki overjoyed and kept saying that his gift today was too light and he would definitely prepare another big gift for Zhou Chong in the future.

Zhou Chong and Ashikaga Ichiki sat together and drank and chatted. They looked like a pair of old friends who had been with each other for many years, but in fact, Zhou Chong did not forget that when he was attacked by Hiroji Uchizumi, Ashikaga Ichiki was very

Maybe it is one of the black hands behind the scenes, but there is no eternal enemy in this world, only eternal interests. Now Ashikaga Ikki begs to see Emperor Zhengde, and he just happened to take this opportunity to drive Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce out of Shuangyu Port

, intervening in Japan at the same time, can be said that everyone has gained something and everyone uses it. In his heart, it is impossible for him to really regard people like Ashikaga Ikki as friends.
