Chapter 1745 Quilt Workshop
After Dou Ke killed Dou Meng's family, he took over the Dou family and changed from the young master's family to the master's family.
"Didn't the young master say that Qin Baihu is the most serious person? Why do you swear such a poisonous oath?" The steward next to him thought to himself, his young master's words are indeed not credible.
"Shut up. Qin Baihu is a friend that the young master values. You can't arrange it randomly." Manager Ruan was also shocked by this poisonous oath that embarrassed his ancestors. However, the young master valued Qin Baihu and sent him a message, asking him to listen to Qin Baihu. Yes, if he disobeys, his life will be taken!
What he said was that if he hadn't known that the young master would sleep with beauties and that the one in his heart was also a girl, he would have been worried about whether the young master was doing something like that.
However, Chief Ruan was a cautious and smart man. Seeing that the young master suddenly showed great respect for the young soldier, in order to prevent the young master from being deceived, he wrote to inquire.
Although General Manager Ruan was loyal, Dou Ke knew that Qin Sanlang's identity could not be revealed at will, so he did not tell the truth. He only said that chaos had arisen in Da Chu and that these military commanders would be of great use in the future. Qin Sanlang was a man of great love and justice. , treat him well, and he will be easy to use in the future.
As soon as the word "utilization" came out, Manager Ruan felt relieved.
Is this right? Who is their young master? A profiteer, if he has no use value, will he help a small soldier?
"Who are you? Why did you enter the city? Where did you enter the city? Is there an official road leading to it?" Shi Bantou saw a group of people standing still, including Chief Ruan, and called Xiao Lin and others to come forward and ask questions.
Manager Ruan took out the receipt Lu Yin received when registering for the city and showed it to Bantou Shi: "We are from Daliang Mansion."
After looking at the things, Shi Bantou hurriedly handed over his hands and said: "It turns out that it belongs to the Dou family of the emperor's merchants. I am disrespectful and disrespectful. It is true that the thieves are too careful. Now they must be strictly investigated when entering and leaving the city."
The royal merchant Dou family's statement in the northwest is not obvious, but it is not easy to offend.
"We understand that stricter inspections are necessary." Manager Ruan smiled, took a bag from the waiter next to him, and presented it to Bantou Shi: "There isn't much left of the dried meat we brought from Daliang Mansion, Ban." Take the head and taste it.”
Shi Bantou's eyes lit up and he accepted it with a smile: "To tell you the truth, because the little ancestors are so powerful, they have harmed many poultry and livestock. We don't have any meat to eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
I just ate some eggs and made dough balls with flour and sugar for a few months, and it was considered a holiday.
"You all are here because you have something to do. I won't detain you any longer, please." Bantou Shi knew that General Manager Ruan sent him dried meat because he wanted to build a good relationship so that he could walk around the city more easily in the future without any embarrassment, so he hurriedly let him go.
"Thank you." Manager Ruan cupped his hands and led the people straight to the Lei Family Courtyard.
"Stop, this is the Lei Family Courtyard. No one can enter without permission." Niu Wujin and a group of little guys stopped at the entrance of the street and blocked Manager Ruan: "Have you used insect attractant? Have you registered in the city? Voucher?"
Asked a lot.
Manager Ruan looked at this group of different heights, stared at their little carrot heads with alert eyes, and said with a smile: "They are all there."
He knew that these little guys should be the children of the soldiers, so he handed them the vouchers and said: "We are from the Dou family of the emperor's merchants. My surname is Ruan. I got the letter and made a special trip to visit Qin Baihu and Mrs. Qin. This is the post.”
"I'm illiterate." Niu Wujin was illiterate. He pointed at Brother Yi and said, "Brother Yi, take a look. Remember to wear gloves, lest there is poison on the post and you will be poisoned to death."
Brother Yi nodded, hummed, put on his gloves, took the post and read it, his little brows furrowed again and again.
Manager Ruan knew that he was young and could not recognize all the words on it, so he reminded him aloud: "The hard-to-recognize character on the post is the character Dou."
Brother Yi's face turned red when he was told that, and he was ashamed and unconvinced and said: "Wait a minute, I'll find someone to recognize this word right now!"
After saying that, he took the post and ran away.
More than a quarter of an hour later, Feng Jin came to pick up Manager Ruan in person: "Are you the Manager Ruan of the Dou family?"
"That's right. I didn't dare to delay after getting the letter. I brought the convoy over immediately." Manager Ruan said, handing over his badge.
After reading it, Feng Jin nodded: "Please follow me. Your Excellency and Madam are waiting for you."
After hearing this, Niu Wujin hurriedly said: "It's one of our own. Quickly move the wooden fence and let us go!"
A group of little guys hurriedly moved the wooden fence.
The nurses from the Lei family's caravan looked at them and smiled while holding bowls of cereal porridge for lunch.
Manager Ruan knew that there were many children here, so he said to the attendant: "Give them candy."
"Hey." A waiter quickly took out a bag and gave each of them a piece of candy.
Niu Wujin didn't eat it, so he held the candy and said, "Uncle Ruan, you are a bit incapable of living. What we lack most now is food and meat. Don't buy candy next time you come back. This thing is expensive and not filling. You can buy some grain and meat to help feed people."
After saying this, the guards of the Lei family caravan who were eating next to them all laughed.
Manager Ruan also smiled and nodded in agreement: "It's because I didn't think carefully. I will definitely not bring such things next time. I will bring you food and meat."
"Thank you!" Niu Wujin was very happy and thanked him politely.
Manager Ruan nodded, followed Feng into the Lei family courtyard, and met Qin Sanlang and Gu Jinli.
When he saw Gu Jinli, Manager Ruan frowned, but he had traveled a lot and had seen a lot. He also heard from the young master that although Gu was fierce, he was extremely beautiful, with a face worthy of Qin Baihu, so he guessed that her face The abscesses are fake.
Looking at Qin Sanlang again, his whole person cheered up. No wonder the young master would make friends with him. Everyone wanted to make friends with such a person who was as impressive as the noble disciples.
"I have met Qin Baihu and Mrs. Qin." Manager Ruan saluted respectfully.
Qin Sanlang nodded and said with dignity in his voice: "General Manager Ruan, there is no need to be polite."
Gu Jinli also said: "Thank you for your hard work, Manager Ruan, for coming here in such a hurry."
When Gu Jinli saw Manager Ruan, it was like seeing the God of Wealth, and he smiled sweetly.
"Thank you Qin Baihu." Manager Ruan stood up straight, looked at Gu Jinli, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Qin's words are serious, I should thank you very much. I have tried the velvet before, and it is really soft and comfortable. It is also extremely warm, much better than a quilt. If such an elegant item is sold in Beijing, it will definitely be very popular."
Due to the war in the northwest, the spread of poisonous pests, and the 10% tax charged by shops, the Dou family's business has been greatly affected, but with this velvet quilt, the Dou family will definitely make a lot of money. .
Gu Jinli smiled and said, "As long as Manager Ruan thinks it's good."
The goose down quilt didn't sound very good, so she gave it a new name, called the snow velvet quilt, which sounded more fairy-like and echoed the appetites of aristocratic families and high-ranking officials.
Manager Ruan is a business person, and he is very optimistic about the velvet quilt. He said impatiently: "Qin Baihu, Mrs. Qin, where is the velvet quilt made? Can you take me to see it?"
He quickly inspected the goods. If there were no problems, he would arrange for a fleet to bring the goods to the capital to sell them.
It's mid-August now, and the transportation will take about three months. If we don't hurry up, we will miss the winter.
