Chapter 100 Giving Gifts
The concierge held his breath, pinched his nose with his hands and ran away quickly, asking the servant to report that someone was coming to deliver a gift.
When Li Sanshao heard that Boss Zhou came to give a gift, he nodded with satisfaction, "No wonder she is famous in Xicheng District. Boss Zhou is very flexible. If the gift satisfies me, you can work for me and ensure that she has a firm foothold in the capital."
The boy knew that there were many good things in Southern Xinjiang, so he flattered him and said, "Master, you are so talented. If a smarter businessman doesn't take refuge in you, who else can he turn to? I don't know what gifts Boss Zhou brought. There are precious woods and medicinal materials in Southern Xinjiang.
Being able to come to the capital to do business, Boss Zhou must have some wealth."
It doesn't matter if you have a good family, you can't do business in the capital without knowing the rules. Li Sanshao took the paper fan and left the living room, happily accepting his gift with a smile.
As he approached the gate, Mr. Li frowned and said, "It smells so bad. Someone fell into the latrine."
When he walked to the door, the smell became even stronger, and Mr. Li couldn't hold back his smile.
Jiang Chenqi kept smiling on her face, sealing her sniffing hole so that she could not feel the smell, "Thank you, Third Young Master, for showing me how to find a backer. Mr. Zhou repaid his kindness and specially sent salted fish brought from his hometown. The weather was a little hot a while ago.
, the salted fish has a slight smell, and there are no worms to eat. San Shao has never eaten the local carp in southern Xinjiang, and the steamed salted fish tastes good."
Covering his face with a paper fan, Mr. Li looked at Jiang Chenqi with a straight face and said in an indifferent tone: "Boss Zhou, are you kidding me? You, a young businessman, cannot afford the consequences of teasing me. The good things from southern Xinjiang are so good.
If there are too many, you should give me century-old ginseng, ten-thousand-year-old wood, and a few smelly carps. Is there anything wrong with your brain?"
Jiang Chenqi looked aggrieved, thinking about the greedy bitch, how could he say that with ten thousand years of wood.
Is there a big tree in the world that has lived for ten thousand years? If it lived for a thousand years, it would probably turn into a tree demon, and it would not be human's turn to cut it down.
"Why are you so angry, Mr. San? I didn't make a joke and give the gift sincerely. You know that southern Xinjiang is thousands of miles away from the capital. I specially brought a few kilograms of salted fish with me. I was reluctant to eat the salted fish and missed my hometown. This is the last treasured salted fish.
"
What people in southern Xinjiang like to eat has nothing to do with Mr. Li Sanshao. He felt that he was surrounded by an invisible stench. He felt a little annoyed and felt that Zhou Yongan was mentally ill. He said angrily: "Since you value the smelly salted fish so much, now
Eat it and show it to me. As long as you can eat half of the salted fish, I will believe that you are sincerely giving the gift."
Xie Jinghuai, who was watching the excitement, his eyes darkened, and he was very dissatisfied with what Li Sanshao said. What was wrong with giving salted fish as a gift? According to his personality, he would not give Li Sanshao any weeds on the roadside.
Jiang Chenqi was not angry. She picked up the salted fish and ate it without saying a word. The carp was steamed by Jiang Yuyou and turned into salted fish. In addition to the strong smell, it was chewy but a little salty.
Watching Jiang Chenqi eat a piece of salted fish, Li Sanshao lost his anger and said with a smile: "I misunderstood Brother Zhou. I didn't expect you to be able to eat salted fish. You gave me your treasured hometown carp, which made me very happy."
move."
Passing the basket to the boy, Jiang Chenqi explained the purpose of her visit with a smile, "It's not about the value of the gift but the intention. It's good that the Third Young Master understands what I mean. I plan to bring the gift to the palace to see Prince Shen tomorrow. I don't know if the Third Young Master can follow me."
go."
Li Sanshao's smile widened, as if he saw Zhou Yongan being punished by the prince because of his ignorance. When the time comes, he can stand up and be a good person and help Zhou Yongan who angered the prince.
"There are many rules in the capital. Boss Zhou, you just came here and you don't understand the rules. You need someone to look after you. Since you sincerely invite me, I will refuse tomorrow's banquet and accompany you to the palace."
After agreeing on a time, Jiang Chenqi left with the others, walked to the intersection and laughed, "Li Sanshao's expression was very rich, and he couldn't laugh in front of the smelly salted fish. He agreed to accompany me to the palace, I guess he wanted to watch the fun, Jiang's
The joke is not that good."
Xie Jinghuai didn't answer and took Jiang Chenqi to buy a sachet. The smelly salted fish was so powerful that it stained their clothes with a stink, so they couldn't take away their clothes.
Returning to the grocery store with the sachet in hand, Jiang Chenqi quickly washed and changed clothes. After washing, she thought about what gift to give.
Jiang Yuyou recommends the salted fish she makes. Despite the smell, it has a bit more special taste than ordinary salted fish. “How about fried bamboo worms? It’s crispy and delicious.”
Unable to listen to Jiang Yuyou's opinion, Jiang Chenqi felt that this girl didn't know how to give gifts and that gifts should not be given casually.
Looking at the nuts on the plate, Jiang Chenqi said with a smile: "Just give me half a bag of nuts. Your Majesty is my senior brother, not an outsider. There is no need to give too expensive gifts. I give ordinary gifts to make Li Sanshao, an outsider, happy."
"
Early the next morning, Jiang Chenqi went out after breakfast. Lin Yuan beside her was carrying half a bag of nuts.
Arriving at the appointed teahouse hall, Jiang Chenqi sneezed several times, rubbed her nose and looked at Li Sanshao, "Sanshao, what's wrong with you? Why is your whole body exuding a strange aroma, more fragrant than the sachets sold on the roadside?"
It wasn't the smelly salted fish that Boss Zhou had given him yesterday. The smell made Li Sanshao feel uncomfortable. He specially used the perfume sold by foreign merchants and sprayed half a bottle of perfume on his clothes.
"If you want to meet the prince, you must be fully prepared. I spent hundreds of taels of silver on a bottle of perfume, which is enough to show my respect for the prince. Stop talking nonsense, I will take you to the prince's palace right now."
Li Sanshao laughed happily when he learned that the gift prepared by Boss Zhou was half a bag of nuts. Rumors said that Boss Zhou was kind-hearted and charitable. People who are so stingy are not good people no matter how they look at it.
Entering the palace as a member of the Li family, Mr. Li boasted that his family was so powerful that even the prince had to give him some slack.
Jiang Chenqi smiled as she listened to Li Sanshao bragging that she had a better relationship with Prince Shen and had a common master.
Shen Mingxi didn't recognize the younger junior sister, frowned slightly, and asked what happened to the uninvited Young Master Li.
Li Sanshao solemnly introduced Boss Zhou, who was well-known for his kindness, and asked Boss Zhou to present the gift to the prince.
Taking the sack from Linyuan, Jiang Chenqi opened the sack, revealing the plump nuts, "As a small businessman, I am honored to meet the prince. I bring you the nuts from my hometown. Squirrels especially like to eat these nuts. The prince
If you have nothing to do, you can eat nuts to relieve your boredom."
It was the first time he received such a down-to-earth gift. Shen Mingxi didn't understand why Boss Zhou gave him a gift. "Why would you give me a gift if you are so good? You should be more careful when bribing me."
Nuts are considered a gift. The squirrel likes them but the prince doesn’t.
Li Sanshao pursed his lips in secret amusement, feeling that Boss Zhou would definitely be scolded this time. As a descendant of the royal family, the prince has never seen any good things. Boss Zhou giving half a bag of nuts is no different from humiliating the prince.
Jiang Chenqi looked at Mr. Li and said with a silly smile: "I made a small amount of money in the dyeing business. The third young man warmly advised me to be careful of greedy people. He reminded me that only by seeking refuge with the prince can I save the grocery store and save my life."
