Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 7 Seems to be cheated
"This seems a bit...expensive, right?"

Unlike the inexperienced Green Yuan, Xiao Linglong and Mr. Lin were not frightened immediately, but sobered up.

Zhao Kang smiled slightly: "Is it expensive? I don't think so. Miss, think about it, this tea was taught to me personally by the tea fairy."

"There is only a small amount of tea produced every year. Is it okay for Miss to buy it for 200 taels per catty and sell it for 400 taels per catty?"

Xiao Linglong was a little dissatisfied and started talking nonsense: "Mr. Zhao, this little girl has been selling tea all her life, but she has never heard of 400 taels per catty of tea. How can others buy it?"

Zhao Kang was still calm and composed: "Young lady, you are a layman now, aren't you? You must know that this is tea produced by the Tea Fairy. Can ordinary people drink the Tea Fairy's tea?"

"That must be the princes, nobles, and court ministers! Even His Majesty the Emperor can't do it! Think about it, even His Majesty has never drank this tea, and it is a rare item that cannot be seen in the palace! Is 400 taels per catty expensive?"

"It's not expensive at all. Our tea is made for the rich nobility. What is nobility? That means not just the best, but the most expensive!"

"Drink tea fairy tea! Become a noble! Miss, I am not bragging. This is not a simple tea, it is a symbol of status! Aren't you looking for a source of goods? Why not use the Peiyuan tea from this county? How about it? I guarantee you a lot of money every day!"

Xiao Linglong felt a little dizzy, and Elder Lin and Lu Yuan next to her were also a little confused.

After hearing Zhao Kang's last words, Xiao Linglong said smoothly: "Sir, are you so confident about this tea?"

Zhao Kang's mouth twitched, nonsense!If I hadn't been an official, I would have done it myself!
Then there is no need to fool you here!
"They are all businessmen. The lady is speaking in layman's terms. Such high-quality products have no worries about sales. After the lady brought the tea back, she first sent people to advertise the brand and sell limited quantities every day..."

Listening to Zhao Kang's words, Xiao Linglong's eyes gradually widened, and she slowly forgot what she was here for.

"So, why can't the tea be sold?" Zhao Kang finished waving his fan.

Xiao Linglong nodded: "It is indeed a good idea to follow what the adults say, but it is not good to choose the sales location in Daming Mansion. How about the capital? There are more dignitaries in the capital."

Let me go, is this girl so brave?Kill the pig and go to the capital.

Zhao Kang was a little shocked and chuckled as he agreed: "Miss, you have a good idea. There are many rich people in the capital, so naturally there are many people who can afford tea. But is it too arrogant?"

The capital is such a place where dragons and tigers dominate, so don't involve yourself if something happens.

Xiao Linglong snorted: "What's so arrogant about this? Master Zhao didn't say it. This is the Tea Fairy's tea. Even His Majesty the Emperor has never drunk it. Why does it sound weird to say this? Those proud masters I will definitely buy it.”

Mr. Lin beside him couldn't hold himself any longer. He twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Zhao Kang suspiciously.

Why did this guy turn His Majesty into a tea girl?
Seeing that it was almost done, Zhao Kang put his hand into his sleeve and said with a smile: "Miss, let's sign a contract first?"

"No problem." Xiao Linglong said.

Mr. Lin, the only one who was still awake, didn't know what to say for a while.
I was tangled in my heart, Your Majesty, you are not here to buy tea!
As for the green mandarin duck, looking at that, maybe he was already fantasizing about how to follow Xiao Linglong and sell the tea.

Quickly call out: "Miss."

"What's the matter, Mr. Lin?" Xiao Linglong frowned.

Mr. Lin coughed: "That lady doesn't want to think about it anymore?"

"What else do you need to think about for such a high-quality product?" Xiao Linglong laughed and put her fingerprints on the contract that Zhao Kang had prepared long ago.

"Master Zhao, the tea contract is for five hundred kilograms of tea. When will it be ready?"

Zhao Kang received the contract and smiled: "It will be done in five days. Miss, don't forget to prepare the money."

At this time, the restaurant owner finally started to serve the food. According to Zhao Kang's instructions in advance, it was of the highest standard, eight meat and eight vegetables, plus a turtle soup.

After talking for a long time, Xiao Linglong and the other three were naturally a little hungry. Just as they were about to have a feast, they saw several people carrying copper basins filled with water and stopped in front of them, and put down a small wooden box.

"This is?"

The three of them all looked at Zhao Kang in confusion. Zhao Kang opened the small wooden box, took out the lumps inside and rubbed them on his hands. He was actually washing his hands!Are you so particular about sophistication?

Xiao Linglong was surprised when she heard Green Mandarin beside her exclaim: "Is this pancreatic juice? Why does it smell so fragrant!"

She turned around and saw Green Yuan staring curiously at the piece of yellow paste in her hand, which was only about the size of a palm.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Zhao Kang wiped his hands: "This is not some kind of soap. It is a specialty soap from this county. The effect is not comparable to that of soap."

The so-called soap is soap in ancient times, made from pig pancreas mixed with plant ash and the like.

But this is not something that ordinary people can afford. Only wealthy people will always have it.

"Soap?" Xiao Linglong opened the box in front of her, and what appeared in front of her was a piece of red soap with a floral fragrance, which smelled very good.

"Come on, come on, wash your hands quickly, otherwise the dishes will get cold." Zhao Kang greeted.

Xiao Linglong dried her hands and began to pick off the face towel. The aroma of soap on her hands made her suddenly understand that the soap in Zhao Kang's mouth could be used for more than just washing hands.

How did Yuanjiang County come up with these things...

Zhao Kang's eyes suddenly straightened and he stared blankly at Xiao Linglong sitting opposite him.

This...this face!It’s too perfect!
Her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her pupils are cut like water, and she wore a hijab before, giving people a heroic and heroic feeling.

At this moment, he took off his scarf, his jade face and red lips revealed a graceful and noble aura.

If Zhao Kang had to describe it, it would feel like a queen.

This must be a fat sheep!
I must not let her escape!
After being stunned, Zhao Kang howled in his heart, as if he had seen a lot of money waving to him.

The meal was a feast for both host and guest. As the banquet was about to break up, Xiao Linglong looked at Zhao Kang.

"Master Zhao."

"Miss Xiao, what's the matter?" Zhao Kang, who knew the other party's last name during the conversation, nodded.

There are so many women named Xiao in the world, how could they be from the royal family?
Zhao Kang didn't think his luck would be that bad.

Xiao Linglong: "How to sell soap? I want to buy a piece..."

Zhao Kang smiled slightly. He was moved, little girl. Without going around too much, Zhao Kang said, "It's vulgar to say it's a sale. I'll give you a piece as a gift."

He asked the yamen servant to go to the government warehouse to get a piece of soap. Zhao Kang, who had watched the lap dance all night, couldn't bear it anymore, so he made an excuse and left first.

Lu Yuan looked at his back and sighed: "There are too many novel things in Yuanjiang County."

"Yes, it's dazzling!" Xiao Linglong nodded.

At this time, Mr. Lin's helpless voice sounded: "Miss, have you forgotten something?"

"What's the matter?"

"The man surnamed Zhao said that 200 kilograms of tea will be ready in five days. One kilogram costs 10 taels, which will be [-] taels of silver by then! Does the lady carry so much money with her?"

Xiao Linglong was dumbfounded, and Mr. Lin said helplessly: "And Miss, if I remember correctly, you don't seem to be here to buy tea, right?"

At this moment, Xiao Linglong felt that she had been cheated.
