Chapter 21 A delicious feast

 The two followed the housekeeper Feng Feng and arrived at the dark building at the end of the long street.

The entire building is made of green and black stone, which is rare to see in the East. It always gives Lin Junshu a sense of time-travel as if he is about to step into Dracula's castle.

The stone building is square as a whole, with a total of three floors, but there are two separate small towers built on the left and right sides of the top. It is said that you can cross the long street and have a panoramic view of the two civilian areas in the north and south respectively. It is a special tower for the city lord.

Used to watch his "breeding farm".

It was this ugly and strange shape that made Lin Junshu fall into the habitual misunderstanding of "it must be a landmark attraction if it is so ugly, fresh and refined". Only after Miss Yu reminded him did he realize that this was Wang Cheng's beastly city lord's palace, which was different from it.

The owners are so ugly that they complement each other.

Of the two tightly closed stone doors, the one on the left has been opened.

The two walked in under the guidance of Gao Feng.

We walked through the not-so-long corridor and arrived at the lobby on the first floor. Because it was built of stone, the lighting in the lobby was very poor. Even in broad daylight, there were many candles lit for lighting.

A plump figure at the main seat had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Lin Junshu and the others arriving, he immediately stood up from his seat and ran over quickly with an exaggerated fake smile.

"Hahahaha! Mr. Lin, I have been waiting for you for a long time! I am really flattered that you two are visiting me!"

Lin Junshu really saw this rumored beast. Wang Cheng had a round head and a big belly, dark skin, a pair of fish eyes, droopy cheeks, thick lips and crooked teeth. He was wearing the official uniform of a county magistrate.

Some deformations.

It’s so beautiful that it’s so ugly that it’s hard to look at it.

Wang Cheng stretched out his fat black hands and was about to grab Lin Junshu with both hands.

Lin Junshu suddenly evaded and hid, with a trace of disgust in his eyes that was difficult to conceal.

Then he raised his hand and spoke, interrupting Wang Cheng's next action:

"Wang County Magistrate, my Jiangdong style is not as bold as that of the north. I value reserved etiquette and don't like to be wild. Let's sit down and talk later."

Wang Cheng rubbed his hands in embarrassment and could only continue: "What you say makes sense, what you say makes sense! Let's sit down and talk!"

Lin Junshu went to sit on the right side of his own business, and Hu Jian followed him and stood behind him, holding their two long knives coldly. He looked very reliable at first glance.

Wang Cheng turned around and walked towards his seat. As soon as he turned around, the silly smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

He saw the disgust that flashed in Lin Junshu's eyes just now. He was familiar with this look, the look of disgust from the heart. He often saw it from the powerful people who traded with him.

The aristocrats of that kind of aristocratic family have a sincere disdain for the nouveau riche like them, who started from the bottom by relying on dirty methods and bought offices with dirty money.

Identities and motives are easy to disguise, but the truest expression of emotion cannot be faked. The deliberate approach just now was a small test for him, but the instinctive disgust of the other party made Wang Cheng believe the identity of the two.

.

Lin Junshu didn't know that the true feelings he showed despite his poor acting skills hit the king's city lord's humble heart and abruptly dispelled any doubts about their identity.

"I heard that the two adults are from the Lu family in Wu County. They have traveled thousands of miles. Why do you want to come to Xushui City?" Wang Cheng asked with a smile.

"Magistrate Wang really knew what he was asking. I told the Master of the Jade Pavilion yesterday that the two of us came to Xushui City to negotiate a deal with Magistrate Wang, and I specifically asked her to report on my behalf."

"Hahahaha, Mr. Lin has such a good eye! The girl I performed in Xushui City is not famous among the powerful people in the whole north!"

Before Wang Cheng finished speaking, Lin Junshu was already sitting in his seat and shaking his head.

"My Jiangdong has been rich in beauties since ancient times. Why should I sacrifice the near and seek the far away and go to the north to seek that rouge powder?"

"This..." His most proud property was so belittled by Lin Junshu. Wang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, but he still suppressed his anger and asked patiently:

"Then I wonder if there is anything else in Xushui County that can win the favor of the Lu family?"

"Of course it's your dog head!" Lin Junshu thought to himself.

I saw him take out a drop-shaped jade pendant in his left hand, twist it gently, and the charming fragrance spreads out.

"I, the Lu family, came across a strange fragrance by chance. The head of the family was surprised and praised it as the best fragrance in the world. After much research, I found out that this fragrance actually came from a small town in Youzhou in the north. That's why I was specially ordered to come and find out the situation.

Looking for a deal!"

Looking at the balm that Lin Junshu took out, Wang Cheng's eyes showed a clear look. No wonder the two of them went straight to Ningxiang Pavilion. They must have smelled the scent of the balm as soon as they entered the city.

However, Yu Ningxiang was able to allow them to enter the store, and even passed the news on their behalf. It seems that this person has abilities that I haven't seen yet.

"Hahahaha, this ointment is indeed produced in my Xushui County. However, this ointment is extremely difficult to make, and the materials used are extremely expensive, so the price is..."

The essence of a profiteer is to exaggerate the price of something even if it has no capital, in order to extract more profits.

But Lin Junshu doesn't care, he's not really here to do business.

I saw him shaking the fan with his right hand and waving his left hand!

"Money, my Lu family has plenty of money! Give me a thousand catties first!"

"How...how much?" Wang Cheng was almost shocked to death by the number of books and newspapers to Lin Jun, a thousand kilograms? Even if Yu Ningxiang was a buffalo, he couldn't make a thousand kilograms of ointment by beating her to death!<

/p>

"Mr. Lin really likes to joke. It is extremely difficult to make this ointment. Our annual output in Xushui County is only ten kilograms."

"Then ten jins is just ten jins. Ten jins a year is a bit too little, but it's still enough to do the job."

Wang Cheng was a little choked by Lin Junshu and was speechless. My annual output is only ten kilograms, and I sold it all to your Lu family. What can I do to win over other powerful people?

"Ten kilograms a year is not enough. There are other dignitaries who have also ordered this kind of ointment from me. The maximum one year... is two kilograms at most!"

"Two kilograms? The Lu family came all the way here just to buy you two kilograms of balm?" Lin Junshu's expression was exaggerated, as if selling them only two kilograms was a great insult.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Then...three pounds?" Wang Cheng asked tentatively. He also wanted to win over the wealthy Jiangdong family as much as possible. After all, this was his first step in expanding his business to the southern elite circle.

"Five pounds a year, if it's less, there's no need to talk." Lin Junshu's attitude was firm.

"Five kilograms...this..." Wang Cheng hesitated. He was weighing whether it was worth spending half of his output to maintain the relationship with the Lu family.

"It seems that County Magistrate Wang is not willing to do business with our Lu family! Hu Jian, let's go!"

Lin Junshu stood up and wanted to leave without saying a word.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute, Mr. Lin! Don't be impatient, Mr. Lin. The amount you want is really too big. I have to carefully calculate whether I can get it together. You said five kilograms, then five kilograms!"

Lin Junshu nodded with satisfaction, "Magistrate Wang is really generous! Tell me, how much money do you want? I will sign a contract with you on behalf of the Lu family!"

"Master Lin, please slow down!"

After the business was settled, Wang Cheng was no longer in a hurry. He asked Lin Junshu to sit down first and called the senior executives to whisper a few words.

Lin Junshu didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but up to this point, it was still going smoothly. He could only act calmly and continue to perform well.

"We in Xushui City have a rule. Anyone who makes a deal with me must have a delicious feast together. Since Mr. Lin can find out the origin of this jade-scented ointment from others, he should also have heard of this rule of mine.

, it’s not too late to talk after we have this meal!”

Although Lin Junshu felt a little pained, the culture of not having a meal and not talking about business dates back to more than two thousand years ago? But in order not to fall short, he could only pretend to be happy and agree.

After a while, a servant came up with two steaming copper cauldrons and placed one each in front of Lin Junshu and Wang Cheng.

There is milky white soup in the cauldron, and the air is filled with the rich aroma of meat.

It seems that Daolin and Junshu wanted to have a meeting with him, so they ordered people to start preparations.

"Mr. Lin, try it quickly. This is delicacy that you can't get anywhere else. I personally trained this chef. He is a master at making this delicacy!" Wang Cheng urged.

Lin Junshu is not very interested in food, he is just here to complete the task.

In order to cooperate, he still picked up the chopsticks. He put the chopsticks into the cauldron and wanted to pick up two pieces and finish eating.

But who would have thought that as soon as he flipped the chopsticks twice, a spherical object floated up.

No! You have to hold it back! If you act abnormally here, you will be in a state of life and death the next moment!

Lin Junshu raised his head with difficulty, but met Wang Cheng's eyes fixed on him.

That big ugly face grinned:
Chapter completed!
