Chapter 170: Talent is rare

The third floor of Mingyue Building.

When I was bored in spring in my previous life, Jia Qiang also fantasized about returning to the ancient times, lying drunk on a beautiful woman's knee in a brothel.

Three flying, four flying, seven flying, eight flying, all over his body was filled with the longing of the jade man's fragrance, which made him feel full of joy just by thinking about it.

But today he came to this realm in person and saw the dozen or sophisticated Yangzhou courtesans waiting on the third floor, he was completely disappointed.

Looking around, there is peace...

Yes, in this mainstream society where exquisite pigeon breasts are absolutely aesthetic, if a group of plump girls gather, most people think this is not a pleasure boat, but a wet nursery...

However, Jia Qiang, who was already disliked by visiting prostitutes, was becoming more and more capable of acting as a saint at this moment.

He can still look at Aunt Lin from her family with pure appreciation, not to mention a group of girls who have been deliberately trained...

Mingyue Huafang is the top girl in the house. Mingyue Girl is just a girl of seventeen or eighteen. She looks outstanding, and her peach blossom eyes slightly raised at the corners of her eyes seemed to be able to whisper, but Jia Qiang still couldn't feel favored.

It would be fine if he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his soul was already in his twenties.

Furthermore, although he always boasted about the great sword of daily life in his previous life, when facing this day, he was deeply taught by the core socialist values, but still could not do such a thing.

Na Xiangling is a concubine because he is confident that he can treat her well and will not let her repeat the tragedy of her previous life.

But what is a female vote?

Jia Qiang put her heart in his heart. If his relatives were unfortunately abducted, then Jia Qiang hopes that she can meet someone like him and can save her from the tragedy.

But if this relative unfortunately falls into the dust, he will never want her to be bullied by anyone.

Therefore, it is really difficult for Jia Qiang to attack these girls if he does not want others to do to his own deeds...

Brother De'ang, my husband is very ruling, so I was strictly forbidden from provoking randomly outside before coming out.Furthermore, after all, I was born in the Wuxun clan and did not understand the elegant and elegant poems. If I were to have a seat with the Mingyue girl, it would be abrupt.In this way, Xu Zhen and I had something to do in detail, so we sat down with him.You just go to drink and write poems by yourself, don’t worry about me.My Jia family was originally from Jinling, and there was also my old house in Shuntian Prefecture City, so this time I came to Nan Province, I was not considered a guest.The same thing is said, since I come out to have fun, it would be boring to always be restrained and taken into account, and I disdain it.So, it’s better for everyone to be more comfortable!

Seeing Qi Yun's eyes flashing, she suggested that Miss Mingyue accompany him to accompany him, Jia Qiang politely declined.

He could see that the heart of this Mingyue girl was probably falling on Qi Yun.

Regardless of whether Qi Yun is worthy of this woman's lifelong benefactor, Jia Qiang doesn't care. He is not Guanyin Bodhisattva, so it will be difficult for him to be good at doing himself.

Of course, he was not interested in playing a husband's pre-play...

Giving up the master seat, under the somewhat stunned gaze of four young heroes, Qi Yun, Chen Cheng, Li Xiao, and Peng Xiu, Liu Mingyue and her courtesans, Jia Qiang walked down from the upper position, came to Xu Zhen's table, opened his mouth slightly, looked up at one of his courtesans and said: Girl, let's sit on it, Xu Zhen and I have something to discuss.

Looking at Jia Qiang's handsome face and bright and sharp eyes, the girl who accompanied Xu Zhen changed slightly, she lowered her head and went to the seat where Jia Qiang set up on the platform, sitting with another empty courtesan, but her eyes were always on Jia Qiang.

Seeing Xu Zhen’s face full of depression, Jia Qiang sat down and cursed: Don’t pretend, do you want to make a fool of me?

When Xu Zhen heard this, he smiled, looked at Jia Qiang, and said: Mr. Qiang, why bother about this?What can’t we talk about when we have enough wine and eat before we talk about it?What's the hurry... At this point, I suddenly became alert and looked at Jia Qiang suspiciously and said: Could it be that the second master is not a woman, but good... As he said that, he moved aside without hesitation.

Jia Qiang hit his head with a chopstick. Before Xu Zhen could scream, many people in the hall who had been secretly paying attention to him were exclaiming in a burst of voices.

Even Qi Yun's expression changed, thinking that this northern gangster really couldn't mess with him, and he was too rude.

If these chopsticks fell on his head, they would lose all their face!

Xu Zhen's face turned pale, Jia Qiang sneered and said: I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. If you don't want to talk, I will go and talk to the Xu family.The Xu family, are you more than the only one?

When Xu Zhen heard this, his face changed and he quickly smiled and said: Yoyo, Second Master, look at what you said, am I here ready?Why bother to startle others again... By the way, I wonder what the second master wants to talk about?

Jia Qiang smiled and said: What do I want to talk about, can't you guess?

A light flashed in Xu Zhen's eyes, he swallowed his saliva, and lowered his voice and said in a low voice: Second Master, do you want to talk about the Feng family's ice room business?

When Jia Qiang heard this, the corners of his mouth bent, his eyes were filled with appreciation, and nodded and said: You kid are indeed smart.

Xu Zhen was so excited that he could not cry when he heard this. He looked at Jia Qiang and said in a grief: Even if you are a big shot from the capital, I am a few years older than you!How can we humiliate people so much?

Jia Qiang raised another chopstick and sneered: Don’t act with me. You dared to invite me as a host on that occasion before, which shows how human nature is.What kind of person you are has been basically established in my heart.So use these tricks less when talking about serious things in the future, otherwise it will hurt yourself.

When Xu Zhen heard this, he twitched the corner of his mouth, and had a new understanding of Jia Qiang's neatness and ruthlessness. He simply talked less and asked straight to the point: Does the Second Master want to sell the ice room that was searched by the Feng family to our Xu family?Just tell me the number, our Xu family can agree if they can. If you really can't eat it, there will be no way.

Jia Qiang shouted, looked at Xu Zhen with contempt, and said: If I had to go to the banquet in person just for such a trick, I would give you this face?Your Xu family looks down on yourself too much...

When Xu Zhen heard this, his disappointment immediately dissipated and said hurriedly: That second master is for...

Because the surroundings are spacious and five or six steps away from each other, it is unexpected that others hear it.

Jia Qiang said: I have an ancient prescription in the Song Dynasty. I can use saltpeter to make ice. Whether it is the yield or the purity of ice making, it is no worse than the ice you picked.How about it, are you interested in cooperating?

Hearing this, Xu Zhen's hand holding the wine cup trembled, and half a glass of wine spilled. He didn't care, but just looked at Jia Qiang incredibly and said: What is the ancient recipe for making ice in saltpeter?How is that possible?!

Jia Qiang looked at him with a faint look and said: Is there anything worth cheating on the Xu family?

When Xu Zhen heard this, his breathing gradually became thicker and his brows became tight.

The Xu family was in charge of the Yangzhou government office's houses and management, taxes and grain collection, famine relief and other matters. The position was not high, but the actual power was no less than that of those officials who were in charge of the seal.

With such an important position, why can the Xu family be in charge for nearly 6 years?

It’s up to not be greedy!!

It seems ridiculous to say that it is guarding the treasury of Yangzhou Prefecture. Although it is rich and poor, the wealth of the Xu family is not greedy?

The Xu family is not greedy. The Xu family guards this position for the status, influence and power brought by this position!

Only with this position can the Xu family’s ice room make a fortune in a low-key manner!

Yangzhou salt merchants and other tycoons may not be really willing to eat ice wine, but in order to get along well with the local rural wishes like the Xu family, they will still order ice all year round.

This also makes the Xu family no longer need corruption and can live a prosperous life by selling ice.

You know, a piece of ice that is five square meters square is only five taels of silver in the capital, but in Yangzhou Prefecture, it costs fifteen taels!

In which year did the Xu family not sell tens of thousands of pieces of ice?

150,000 taels of silver, no matter where it is placed, it can be considered a huge sum of money.

But……

If Jia Qiang really has a prescription that can make ice without much effort, the price of ice cubes in Yangzhou Prefecture will drop rapidly.

Only the price war can the Xu family not eat or live.

Maybe you can still make some money, but the Xu family is now prosperous, with hundreds of people in the tribe, and the annual expenses are increasing. If there is a problem with the ice room business, then the Xu family will also have big problems!

At this point, Xu Zhen no longer had the heart to think about the beautiful girl on Mingyue Tower. He looked at Jia Qiang seriously and asked: Second Master Qiang, in your opinion, how should we cooperate?

Jia Qiang sipped a glass of Western wine with ice, and the taste made him feel a little sad... After a pause, he said: Originally, I could take over the Feng family's ice cellar and ice room, and I had prescriptions in my hand, and there were also people... The Feng family's Bingling people are ready-made and can make money at any time.I think that Yangzhou Prefecture will not give me such face, what do you think?

Xu Zhen nodded and said: One day when the Salt Courtyard is in, Mr. Qiang will have no worries about no one to visit his business.

Jia Qiang sneered and said: My aunt and the new governor of Liangjiang, Han Bin, had a strong personal relationship with Han Banshan. Governor Han came to Jiangnan to receive the seal and rushed to Yangzhou Prefecture overnight to see my aunt.With this friendship, what if my aunt returns to Beijing?You local snakes dare to seek trouble for me?

When Xu Zhen heard this, his mouth twitched and said dryly: Where is Mr. Qiang, even if there is no relationship with the new governor, just relying on your great-grandson of the Ningguo Duke, who can do what you can do to you?OK OK, you said, how do you want to cooperate?My Xu family will follow!

Jia Qiang snorted and said: Don’t think I want to bully others and take advantage of the Xu family. I want to give your family a wealth.With this recipe in your hand, the entire Jiangnan ice room business can be done, and it is not a problem for your Xu family to build a gold mountain every year.

When Xu Zhen heard this, his eyes suddenly opened, his eyes turned red, and he even held his breath. But then, he let out a long sigh, and returned to his lazy appearance, and said with a bitter smile: Mr. Qiang, don’t tease others. The Xu family, the Xu family is barely number one in Yangzhou Prefecture, but after Yangzhou Prefecture, who still recognizes who the Xu family is?To be honest, your Jia family and the Zhen family in Jiangning are the first-class families in southern province.It’s just that your family went to the capital... It’s funny to say that those idiots in the Mei family dare to neglect you so much.With your relationship with the Jia family and the Zhen family, even if you don’t have a Salt Courtyard, you won’t be despised by the Mei family!Hey, by the way, Mr. Qiang Er, why don’t you go to find a cooperation with the Zhen family?

Looking at Xu Zhen, who is keen and able to suppress greed in front of such a huge temptation, Jia Qiang only has four words in his heart:

A rare talent!
