After finalizing the plan, Tang Ming took Yang Liu to Song Qian's tavern. Since the last time Song Qian drank Tang Mingnian's wine, he has been thinking hard all day about how to make this wine. But after thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, so he just sat there with a grimace all day long. He even ignored the business of the tavern. It is still the same today, sitting on the chair in a daze with an empty cup.
"Old man Song, what are you thinking about?" As soon as Tang Ming walked into the tavern, he saw Song Qian who was in a daze, so he smiled and went up to say hello.
"TangMr. Tang" When Song Qian saw Tang Ming, he immediately jumped up from his chair as if he had met the lover of his dreams, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
"Haha, how are you lately? Why do I feel that you seem to be very depressed?" Tang Ming sat down casually and said.
"Depressed?" Song Qian asked in confusion with his mouth open.
"Uh I just think you're too boring." Tang Ming said with a smile, "I've been short of manpower recently. Are you interested in following me?"
"Mr. Tang, are you willing to accept me as your disciple?" Song Qian heard Tang Ming's words and said excitedly: "As long as you are willing to accept me as your disciple, I will do my best to help you!"
Yang Liu who was standing aside also knew Song Qian, the owner of the most famous tavern in Yongzhou City. According to legend, in addition to his first-rate wine-making skills, he also had a strong ability to do things. Although he didn't know why Tang Ming knew this person, what surprised Yang Liu was that Song Qian actually begged Tang Ming to accept him as his disciple! What kind of magic did this guy cast on Song Qian? He actually made this famous person in Yongzhou City surrender to him like this.
"Well, this is Yang Liu, the eldest lady of the Yang family. You can follow her these days to help me handle some things." Tang Ming pointed to Yang Liu aside and said, "If I think you are capable enough, I will naturally accept you." As an apprentice, I will teach you my skills!"
"Yes! I will definitely follow Miss Yang to help you get things done!" Song Qian hurriedly bowed and responded! Although he didn't understand how the eldest lady of the Yang family could become Tang Ming's assistant, he didn't need to understand. Song Qian, who has been immersed in the art of winemaking all his life, has only one wish in his heart at this time, and that is to become a disciple of Tang Ming, learn more advanced winemaking techniques, and brew wine that will make the world intoxicated!
When the matter was finally settled, Song Qian closed the door of the tavern and followed Tang Ming from then on! After having Song Qian and Yang Liu as his two right-hand assistants, Tang Ming was finally relieved about the homestead matter. Moreover, after Ling Fei recovered, he could become another assistant of his, and whatever he did would be more complicated. Close and fast!
But what worries Tang Ming the most now is the issue of funds. After all, to build a luxurious place on such a large base, the remaining 10,000 taels of gold are obviously not enough, and the labor force alone will probably be consumed. More than half of the time, the materials needed for the construction are still a problem, so now we must first fill the gap in funds. As the saying goes, it¡¯s easy to get things done if you have money. With money, everything can be done with leverage.
Since a large amount of funds are needed and Tang Ming does not have much property at this time, the only way is to follow the old method and auction the pills! Moreover, wasn¡¯t Xingyue Palace kidnapping Meng Xue just for the elixir in his hand? Since they want it, they can just drop a bombshell! Inspire more forces to pay attention to these pills! Make the water muddy and see who can catch the big fish!
After making up his mind, Tang Ming began to plan to refine a part of the Hundred Yuan Pill. This pill can directly enhance a martial artist's skill for about 10 years! Presumably once it is thrown out of the world, it will probably cause quite a stir!
Since you want to auction something, you have to find an auction house! Later, Tang Ming inquired and learned that the most powerful auction house in Yongzhou City was the Tianwu Auction House, which was directly run by the Tianwu royal family. If Tang Ming wanted to run his own business and influence in Yongzhou City, he would inevitably have to deal with the official family. deal with. In this way, after going full circle, Tang Ming is going to visit Prince Wu again!
However, this visit was more casual than before. Tang Ming still brought two jars of wine. When he walked to the door of the city lord's palace, no one dared to come forward to intercept him. Instead, he respectfully welcomed him into the palace. . Tang Ming didn't stay in the mansion for a long time. After chatting with Marquis Wu for a few words, he casually mentioned his idea of ??doing some business, and then also mentioned that he would be in Tianwu in the next two days. The auction house was selling something good, but Tang Ming didn't say much about what it was. Although Prince Wu was also curious, he thought he would know it in two days, so he didn't dwell on the issue too much. People who have seen a lot of the world and done a lot of great things are like this, and they act very calmly.
After staying in the city lord's mansion for about an hour and leaving two jars of fine wine, Tang Ming planned to go to Yongzhou.Go shopping and take a look at the consumption level here and the daily hobbies of the rich in the city.
While walking on the street and asking around, Tang Ming passed through several streets and finally came to the entrance of a restaurant called "Zengfu". Tang Ming looked up at the big plaque hanging on the edge of the door, curled his lips and said, "This is the famous restaurant in Yongzhou City? Why isn't it called Conquest?"
Tang Ming shook his head and smiled, then walked towards the restaurant. After entering the door, Tang Ming glanced casually. The decoration of the entire restaurant was quite luxurious. It was noon, and the guests coming and going were quite lively. And looking at the clothes of these guests, they were obviously either rich or noble people. , it seems that this Zengfu Restaurant is quite high-end.
Just as Tang Ming stood in front of the counter and looked around, a waiter from the restaurant came up to him with a smile: "Sir, how many are there?"
¡°Oh, it¡¯s just me!¡± Tang Ming turned around and said.
"Then please follow me!" The attendant bowed respectfully, took Tang Ming to a seat near the window on the second floor, and asked, "What would you like to eat, sir?"
What to eat? Tang Ming thought for a while, he really didn't dare to compliment the cooking skills in this world, but since he is here, let's try the taste here, so he said casually: "Serve all the famous dishes here. Just one portion."
"Ah?" When the attendant heard this, he was stunned. Zengfu Restaurant is a famous restaurant in Yongzhou City. It has dozens of famous dishes. This man wanted them all as soon as he opened his mouth, not to mention that he couldn't eat them. Even the table in front of me cannot be set!
"What's wrong?" Tang Ming looked at the attendant who was standing aside and asked.
"This your guest there are dozens of famous dishes in our restaurant. You" Although the attendant doubted Tang Ming's words, he saw that this young man was dressed in a wealthy manner and did not look like a poor owner. So he said hesitantly.
Tang Ming understood what the attendant was thinking, so he smiled and said, "You can go ahead."
After receiving Tang Ming's confirmation again, the attendant nodded in agreement, and then withdrew.
After a while, more and more people came to the restaurant to eat. Soon all the seats on the second floor were filled, and the dishes Tang Ming ordered were brought out one after another, filling the entire table.
Tang Ming picked up his chopsticks and casually took a little of each dish to taste. In the end, he shook his head helplessly, thinking that although these dishes were excellent in appearance, they still lacked a lot of taste and could not be called this at all. For good food.
Just when Tang Ming sighed that the food tasted bad, there was a sudden noise on the stairs.
"Why is there no place? We, Mr. Jiang, often come here to eat, don't you know how to make room for it?" A big man shouted as he walked up.
Behind him was the shopkeeper with a wry smile on his face, who was busy explaining: "Haha, of course we know Mr. Jiang is a regular customer, but today it's just an unlucky thing. The whole restaurant is full. I don't believe you." look?"
The big man took a look at the second floor and found that it was indeed full of seats. At this time, another group of people came up the stairs, led by a fat young man with oily hair and a pink face, and a wretched look on his face. After the fat man came up, the big man hurriedly said respectfully: "Mr. Jiang, the second floor is also full."
"Oh?" The fat man shook the paper fan in his hand and looked around. When he saw Tang Ming, who was alone and looking at the table full of dishes in boredom, the fat on his face trembled, and he raised his eyelids and pointed at Tang Ming. Ming's table said: "Why do I see there is an empty table?"
The shopkeeper turned around and looked at Tang Ming, who was alone. He immediately understood what the fat man meant, but still said with a wry smile on his face: "This Mr. Jiang why do you say that he is also a guest? Isn't that bad?"
"Fart! What's wrong!" The fat man clapped his palms with a paper fan, and the fat all over his body trembled. Then he said angrily: "Miss Yang took the initiative to invite me to dinner today! How can you say that? It¡¯s not good! Miss Yang, do you know this!? The eldest lady of the Yang family in Yongzhou City! It¡¯s already a great thing that she is willing to come to your place for dinner today! How dare you say it¡¯s not good?!¡±
After Tang Ming, who was bored and lazy, heard what the fat man said, he couldn't help but turned his head curiously and took a look. He happened to meet Fatty Jiang's angry eyes and smiled lightly on his face.
