Chapter 16 We are going to make a fortune!

"I want to see Zeng Zhigao."

Zhang Heng said.

It turns out that the proprietor behind Zhoujiajie Shop this time is Shuo Gongliang. This news was obtained by Zhang Shu after asking for a long time.

Shopkeeper Zhou looked surprised: "You gave me the sugar making method just to meet my master?"

Zhang Heng also looked at Shopkeeper Zhou in surprise and said, "Shopkeeper Zhou, what are you thinking about?"

Shopkeeper Zhou just smiled to himself. He couldn't turn his head around and said such ignorant words. If his mind were clearer, he would not say such stupid words. The value of this white sugar making method is more than ten thousand yuan, and ten thousand yuan of money is only worth ten thousand yuan. In order to meet Zuo Gongliang, Zuo Gongliang didn't have that much respect, so he must have wanted something.

Shopkeeper Zhou's mind started spinning rapidly. He really wanted this method of making white sugar, and presumably so did Zuo Gongliang, but he couldn't bring trouble to Zuo Gongliang. He had to ask Zhang Heng clearly about his origins and purpose.

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and said: "Come on, Mr. Zhang, please take a seat and come and try this Beiyuan tea."

Shopkeeper Zhou invited Zhang Heng to sit down in the back yard, and then quickly made a pot of tea.

Zhang Heng tasted it calmly, and then sighed: "It still smells like the tea from my hometown."

Shopkeeper Zhou was stunned and said: "Young Master is also from Fujian?"

Beiyuan tea is produced in Jianzhou, which is the land of Fujian.

Zhang Heng cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang from Pucheng."

Shopkeeper Zhou was immediately in awe: "It turns out he is a member of the Zhangxiang clan, no wonder he is so charming."

Zhang Heng shook his head and smiled: "It's just a sideline, I don't dare to climb high."

Shopkeeper Zhou laughed and said: "Young Master is joking, the tree is divided into trunks, but who dares to say that the leaves are not part of the tree, and the distinction between descendants and concubines also changes with time."

Shopkeeper Zhou means that as long as you study now, after you become a Jinshi, who cares whether you are a direct descendant or a collateral descendant.

After Zhang Heng revealed his true identity, shopkeeper Zhou became much closer to him. Zhuo Gongliang was from Fujian, so shopkeeper Zhou was naturally also from Fujian. Now that he knew that Zhang Heng was also from Fujian, he became a little closer.

The two chatted for a while about their hometown, and then shopkeeper Zhou asked inadvertently: "Why does Mr. Zhang want to see my master?"

Zhang Heng sighed: "In July and August, there were continuous autumn rains in Pucheng, and the rice production in Pucheng was reduced. My family's paddy fields were severely damaged, so I had to run out to make a living. But my three brothers still wanted to continue studying, but here in Bian I am not familiar with Beijing, so after much deliberation I could only find someone from my hometown. Zeng Zhigao is a well-known person in central Fujian. The three of us brothers had no choice but to come over here and ask shopkeeper Zhou to help us."

After hearing this, shopkeeper Zhou thought carefully and said, "Gui Xianzhong wants to find a famous teacher... Wouldn't Xianggong Zhang be a better choice?"

Zhang Heng smiled bitterly and said: "The ancestors naturally love and protect their descendants, but because the ancestors are prime ministers from the south, so..."

Zhang Heng didn't say everything, but shopkeeper Zhou understood, nodded and said: "Ms. Zhang really cherishes feathers."

Zhang Heng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It would be great if Shopkeeper Zhou can understand."

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and said: "I understand, but I can't agree to this for you. I can only recommend it to you."

Zhang Heng immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble Shopkeeper Zhou. Just keep the sugar. I'll come back tomorrow."

Shopkeeper Zhou nodded with a smile and sent Zhang Heng to the door. After Zhang Heng left, the calmness on Shopkeeper Zhou's face disappeared. He carefully collected the sugar and put it in his arms. He hurriedly boarded the carriage and headed for Xihua Gate.

, Zeng Mansion is over there.

Hurry up and hurry up, the journey was supposed to take half an hour, but we arrived in just three quarters of an hour.

"Hey, Shopkeeper Zhou, why are you back today free?"

Menzi said in surprise.

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and said: "Of course I have something to report to the master. Is the master at home?"

The doorman cheered and said, "You're in luck. The master has just come back. You can go in by yourself."

Shopkeeper Zhou didn't talk much and hurried in. He was an old man brought over by the Zeng family. As long as he didn't wander around in the back house, he could go anywhere else.

As soon as he entered, he met Zeng Xiaokuan, the second son of Shuo Gongliang. Zeng Xiaokuan saw shopkeeper Zhou and politely greeted him: "Uncle Zhou, are you here?"

Shopkeeper Zhou quickly bowed: "Yamen..."

Zeng Xiaokuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, you are doing this again. You said you can just call me Lingchuo. What kind of yamen am I?"

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and said: "The master knows how to control imperial edicts. If you are not a yamen, there will not be many yamen in Bianjing City."

Zeng Xiaokuan just waved his hand and left.

Shopkeeper Zhou quickly entered the living room. He knew that as soon as Shuo Gongliang came home, he would either stay in the study and look at his collection of treasures, or drink his tea in the living room - Fujian people have their own obsession with drinking tea.

Sure enough, when he entered the living room, he saw Shuo Gongliang pouring himself a drink there, looking quite contented with himself.

When Jiang Gongliang saw Shopkeeper Zhou, his eyes lit up: "Guiping is here, what good things have you received?"

Shopkeeper Zhou’s original name was Zhou Guiping, and he was a friend of Shu Gongliang when he was a child.

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled: "Ming Zhong, guess what?"

Zhuo Gongliang laughed and replied: "How can you make me guess? Take it out quickly and don't amuse me!"

Shopkeeper Zhou quickly took out the box, opened it carefully, and opened the oil paper package. When Zhuo Gongliang saw it, he was surprised: "This is..."

He used the tea spoon to pick up some and put it into his mouth. He squinted his eyes slightly, and the next moment his eyes widened: "This is extremely pure white sugar!"

He reached out and picked up the box, quickly walked out of the living room, walked down the steps into the yard, put the sugar on the steps, raised his buttocks and looked at it carefully under the sunlight.

Under the sunlight, the white sugar looks crystal clear, like frost, with no flaws to be found.

Zhuo Gongliang was surprised and said: "How can this white sugar be so white and so sweet! Guiping, where does this come from? Is it possible to find out its channel?"

Zhou Guiping squatted beside Shuo Gongliang and smiled proudly after hearing this: "Ming Zhong, we are going to make a fortune!"

Zhuo Gongliang said happily: "Do you really know the channel? That's great. You come forward to negotiate. It's best for us to underwrite the Bianjing area. Well... if it doesn't work out, I just want to become one of the underwriters!"

Zhou Guiping smiled and said: "Master, dare to think a little more."

Zhuo Gongliang said anxiously: "What's the point of holding back? Hurry up and say it!"

Seeing that Zhuo Gongliang was really anxious, Zhou Guiping explained the whole story clearly. After hearing this, Zhuo Gongliang's face was full of joy: "You mean, as long as I take over the three brothers, this sugar making method will be solved."

Is it mine?"

Zhou Guiping hesitated, but still nodded: "Although I didn't say that, the meaning is this. The details need to be discussed in detail. It's just that I accepted three disciples at once..."

Zhuo Gongliang waved his hand indifferently: "It's just about accepting disciples. I will send them to the Imperial College. I will give them lectures and encourage them in my free time. I don't need to spend too much time on them. They are just doing nothing. And this white sugar-made

Fa, this is a priceless thing, compared to the white sugar and rock sugar on the market now, it is simply garbage!..."
