Chapter 221: Not Rough at All
Mu Guanchu did not force it. He thought it was reasonable. After all, Pei Mingqiu wanted so much, which was already a large amount. As long as Meng Yu agreed, he would continue to supply in the future.
Meng Yu turned and left, and after a while, he came back with writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.
Mu Guanchu asked jokingly: "Xiaoyu, what are you doing?"
"Aren't we talking about business? Of course we have to write a contract!"
Mu Guanchu laughed: "Xiaoyu, you are really capable of doing great things! Not bad, not bad, uncle supports you."
When it comes to writing contracts, he was good at it. He took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and with a few quick strokes, he finished a contract. He also wrote Pei Mingqiu's contract, both in duplicate.
However, he played a trick. The price he wrote on Pei Mingqiu's side was the same as his own price, while the total quantity he wrote on his side was 20,000 each.
Pei Mingqiu had no objection. He said, "Even if it's five times more expensive, it's still reasonable!"
But after Meng Yu saw it, he said, "Then I will give Uncle Pei another 30,000 inferior products!"
Pei Mingqiu was overjoyed. Thirty thousand pills of that medicine, which was three to five times more effective than ordinary gold wound medicine, might be able to save thirty thousand lives. Besides, thirty thousand lives on the battlefield were not just thirty thousand lives! Perhaps it was about the victory of a war.
This made Mu Guanchu jealous. Thirty thousand pills, sixty coins each, thirty thousand pills for free, that's one thousand eight hundred taels of silver. And that was just the cost price. Even if he sold this medicine for one tael of silver each, there would be people scrambling to buy it.
Xiao Mengyu just said that there were not enough goods and only gave him one thousand pills, but then he turned around and gave him thirty thousand for free!
Seeing his eager look, Meng Yu pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Mu, you want those medicines to make money, and Uncle Pei wants those medicines to save his life!"
Mu Guanchu pursed his lips. What could he say?
In fact, as long as Pei Mingqiu needed the medicine he bought, he would give it to him for free, but now, doesn’t Meng Yu have a lot of goods in his hands?
Pei Mingqiu glanced at him and said, "What a shame! You're trying to be so mean to a kid like that!"
Mu Guanchu said sourly: "Oh, you've got the advantage, so just shut up, you rich dog!"
It seems that Xiaoyu is unlikely to give him more. Forget it. He wrote that it was 20,000 each. He would give 1,000 for the first time, and 500 every month after that. Xiaoyu did not refute it. He still got a great bargain!
Delivery is scheduled for three days later.
After the cooperation was easily discussed, Pei Mingqiu asked, "Xiaoyu, do you have any other medicines?"
"Not yet, if Uncle Pei needs it, I can ask my master if he can do it!"
Pei Mingqiu nodded: "If you need anything, I'll send someone to talk to you!"
The blood clot in his brain has been taken care of by the owner of Ghost Island, and he also has the Four Seas Bamboo, so he doesn't need to rely on anyone else.
Over there, Zhao Susu had already prepared the food.
She would never have imagined that in just half an hour, her six-year-old daughter had already negotiated a deal worth 50,000 taels.
Zhao Susu invited them into the restaurant.
There are ten dishes on the table, with tempting colors and fragrant aromas.
Pei Mingqiu murmured to himself: "Jade trees in the forest, osmanthus cutting ice, gold and jade brocade, high mountains and flowing water, the Eight Immortals going up the mountain..."
Zhao Susu was a little surprised: "How does Master Pei know the names of these dishes?"
It was not surprising that Mu Guanchu and Feng Zhi knew about the Eight Immortals Going Up the Mountain, because she had given this recipe to Jixianglou before. But the rest were dishes that she had kept in her memory for a long time and had not made for several years.
Pei Mingqiu paused before saying, "It seems... I have eaten it!"
Mu Guanchu laughed: "Don't be fooled by Brother Mingqiu's rough appearance in the army now. He used to be a noble young man, who would only eat the most delicious food, wear the most exquisite clothes, and never tire of fine food and delicate meat!"
Zhao Susu smiled and said that Pei Mingqiu was a rough guy in the army, but she disagreed. Although he had the toughness and heroism of a soldier, he was handsome and tall, with eyebrows as sharp as knives, eyes as bright as stars, and a three-dimensional face, which did not look rough at all.
She said, "It's just a simple meal, it's not respectful, everyone please take a seat!"
Mu Guanchu and Feng Zhi could no longer wait. After they sat down, Mu Guanchu pulled Pei Mingqiu to sit down too.
He picked up his chopsticks and said, "I get to taste Madam Zhao's cooking again today. I am really looking forward to it!"
Zhao Susu also smiled and warmly entertained: "Don't be polite, it's just a home-cooked meal, just be casual!"
She asked Luo Liu to bring some wine.
The wine has a strong aroma and is very mellow.
Zhao Susu introduced: "This is what Ayu taught me to brew. I haven't tasted it yet, so I don't know how it tastes. You guys try it!"
Mu Guanchu took the bowl without hesitation and lifted the wine jar. The aroma of wine poured out, filling the room with intoxicating fragrance.
Before he even drank it, he already praised, "What a nice aroma, great wine!"
He even touched Pei Mingqiu: "Your tongue is so delicate, taste it!"
Pei Mingqiu came back to his senses. He picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. The wine slid across the tip of his tongue and instantly turned into a warm and warm current, slowly flowing down his throat and straight into his heart.
After a moment, he said slowly: "This wine is indeed a rare good wine. When I first tasted it, I felt that it had a delicate taste, mellow and fresh, just like a mountain spring, pure and natural. When I tasted it again, I could feel the rich layers contained in it, with the mellowness of grains, the sweetness of fruits, and an indescribable aftertaste, which was endless."
"Strangely, this wine not only tastes great, but also has a unique flavor that seems to evoke the deepest emotions in people's hearts. How is this possible?"
Mu Guanchu looked at him and thought, it's just a token of your appreciation, you're exaggerating too obviously!
What is the thing that can evoke the deepest emotions in people's hearts? Is it wine that can evoke it?
He wasn't like this before!
Could it be that after all these years of hard work and trials, his temperament has changed drastically, and he has become adept at dealing with people?
Thinking of this, he also brought the wine bowl to his lips and took a sip.
Then he stopped talking.
Feng Zhi looked at Pei Mingqiu, who slightly raised the corners of his lips, and Mu Guanchu, who suddenly stopped talking and even narrowed his eyes slightly.
He also took a careful sip.
"Good wine, delicious!" He couldn't help but shout out as the wine went down his throat. Although it was only four short words, it was the simplest and most straightforward.
Mu Guanchu opened his eyes at this time, and when he looked at Pei Mingqiu again, his eyes had changed.
He thought Pei Mingqiu was complimenting Zhao Susu, but it turns out there is really wine in the world that can do that.
The feeling of a peaceful and peaceful life and blooming spring flowers that suddenly arises from a sip of wine is so obvious.
He remembered that when he ate the dishes made by Lady Zhao, he also felt warm in his heart and a sense of security welling up from the cracks in his bones. However, he did not pay too much attention to it at that time.
Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the chopsticks, picked up the food and put it into his mouth.
Sure enough, the initial feeling was not wrong.
He looked at Zhao Susu in surprise without saying anything.
Pei Mingqiu was stunned when he took the first bite of the dish.
He thought that the barbecue that day was because they were exhausted from the journey and had to sleep in the open air, and only by having a full stomach could they feel happy.
But today's dishes, that familiar taste, that familiar feeling, evoked long-lost memories in his heart.
