17. Shun Shui Favor

"Young Master Li is very awesome!"

Dong Xiaowan saw that Ah Hu admired the matchmaker and Li Yu, so she followed and said, "Then do you know where Mr. Li got these things?"

Dong Xiaowan had never seen or even heard of what Li Yu gave her.

Ah Hu looked at Dong Xiaowan curiously: "Strange, how do you know that these things were made by Mr. Li?"

After a pause, he said again: "I don't know, the matchmaker sister said that Mr. Li is a god, and he transformed everything!"

They only knew that every time Li Yu left for a while, he would bring these strange things back. In order to prevent Ah Hu and Monkey from going out to talk nonsense, the matchmaker told them that Li Yu was a god and that these things were all changed by him.

"immortal?"

Dong Xiaowan couldn't help but be stunned. If it were normal, she wouldn't believe this nonsense; however, the changes that happened today made Dong Xiaowan feel very puzzled.

Judging from Li Yu's appearance, temperament, words and behavior, he is very different from ordinary people. Li Yu knows her well, so where do these things come from?

Li Yu didn't know that Dong Xiaowan was asking him the details, and was going to the brothel with the matchmaker who was disguised as a man to investigate the situation.

To their surprise, as soon as they arrived at Zuixianju, they were shocked by their boss's wealth.

After seeing the effect of the sample, Boss Zuixianju Wan said on the spot that he had packed everything and the price was free of charge to them.

Li Yu glanced at the matchmaker and quoted a price three times higher than when it was sold in Ruyang before.

He knew that Suzhou was very rich, but he didn't expect it to be so rich.

Boss Wan agreed readily, but made an additional request: Li Yu must sell all similar things to him and must not sell them to others.

Although I don’t know where these things come from, Boss Wan is very clear about the value they can bring.

Li Yu was a little surprised. The people who opened brothels knew the monopoly. No wonder Zuixianju could become the top brothel in Suzhou.

He did not agree rashly, saying that these things were not easy to get, and he could only guarantee that they would not be sold in Suzhou. He could not guarantee other places.

Boss Wan considered it and agreed.

Although he thought these things should be very good, he had never tried them and had no idea.

Li Yu sold all the things he brought this time, except for the ones he gave to Dong Xiaowan and the matchmaker, and earned a total of 500 taels of silver.

Seeing that Boss Wan was happy, he specifically told Boss Wan a chance to get rich, saying that the proportion of foreign gold to silver was much higher than that of the Ming Dynasty.

Boss Wan is a smart person. He originally thought that Li Yu’s things were brought from overseas, but now he heard Li Yu say this and believes it even more deeply.

He believed what Li Yu said, because he couldn't make enough money alone and lie to himself, and Li Yu was not good at all. Just inquire about it and you can confirm it.

Li Yu was not interested in this, but he didn't want to be cheaper in foreign countries, so he simply made a favor to Boss Wan.

Boss Wan is a Han person at least, and now Li Yu’s partner is undoubtedly a suitable candidate.

To be honest, Li Yu doesn't like to work with the official, especially when he has no strength.

Even if he has not experienced the officialdom, he still knows the dangers. It is better to hide if he can avoid dealing with it.

"Oh my God!"

When Dong Xiaowan saw the 500 taels of white silver, she screamed: "I sold so much in a day. Even if I can only make half of it, I will have a profit of nearly 10,000 taels for one month?"

Although she doesn't know much about management, she still understands it simply.

"Hold it!"

Li Yu gave the matchmaker and Dong Xiaowan one hundred taels each: "Please keep it carefully. If there is too much silver, it is easy to cause trouble."

In order to avoid someone trying to kill someone for money, Li Yu and Matchmaker sold the things to Boss Wan and slipped back.

"rest assured!"

The matchmaker said confidently: "I came back just now. I looked carefully. No one followed me. No one knew that we had sold so much money."

She found that Li Yu was very cautious and would want to run away if the situation was wrong.

"that……"

Dong Xiaowan looked at Li Yu in confusion: "Why are you giving me money?"

It is not surprising that Li Yu gave the matchmaker a hundred taels of silver. Dong Xiaowan couldn't understand why it was given 100 taels of silver.

"The reward for helping me do things!"

Li Yu said carelessly: "You can only cost five taels of silver if you hire a guard. Can you say you are not even as good as a guard?"

He gave so much money to the matchmaker and Dong Xiaowan, but he didn't want them to be wronged because they didn't have money.

"Then how long will I help you?"

Dong Xiaowan was a little relieved when she heard that Li Yu said she was rewarded for her.

She thought: This guy doesn’t know what the origin is. With these things, he makes so much money and makes a fortune. No wonder he spends five taels of silver a month to hire a guard.

"One year!"

Li Yu casually said: "If you perform well, there will be rewards!"

He didn't want Dong Xiaowan to have any psychological burden, so he said it for a year.

Dong Xiaowan thought for a while and agreed.

If it weren't for seeing Li Yu earning hundreds of taels of silver at once and having a guard for five taels a month, Dong Xiaowan would definitely think that Li Yuhua asked her to help her for one year with another intention.

She thought that Li Yu was both rich and outstanding, and she was not like a lustful person.

Even if Li Yu wants a beautiful woman, it is easy to do it. There is no need to deliberately plot against him, not to mention that there is a woman who looks good like a matchmaker by his side.

So Dong Xiaowan took some money to the two neighboring women who came with him and asked them to return to Bantang to help Bai tell the story of Bai that something was wrong with the embroidery shop and she had to stay in the embroidery shop for the time being.

The Dong family can be regarded as the Su embroidery family. It has a history of more than two hundred years by Dong Xiaowan's generation. The Dong family embroidery shop is well-known throughout Suzhou.

Li Yu bought the Dong family embroidery shop, on the one hand, to help Dong Xiaowan, and on the other hand, to have a foothold in Suzhou.

The embroidery shop covers a relatively large area. If it is modern, it would cost more than 10 million yuan for this land alone. However, now the houses in the area are only a few dozen taels of silver, and it costs only a few thousand yuan for modern times.

If the Ming Dynasty houses could be brought to modern times, it would definitely be a huge deal.

While it was still dark, Li Yu asked Dong Xiaowan and Matchmaker to go to the backyard to clean up the room, and then took Ah Hu and Monkey to the kitchen to make a supper.

When Li Yu prepared supper, Dong Xiaowan and Matchmaker had already cleaned the room.

After the meal, the monkey said unsatisfiedly: "The rice cooked by Mr. Li is really delicious, and it is better than those inns."

"how?"

The matchmaker smiled and said, "Do you still want to eat every day?"

She also thought the food was delicious, but she was not easy to say something.

"Ahu, go and see the fire!"

Li Yu was unwilling to follow this and changed the topic: "When it gets hot, go take a shower!"

These days, the four of them came all the way by boat, which was not convenient for taking a bath. Fortunately, the weather was cold, otherwise their bodies would be moldy.

Li Yu has always liked to be clean. He just started boiling water after cooking in the kitchen.
