Chapter 24 Walking Alone (Please read and recommend)

Not to mention that the two brothers of the Yuan family had a bit of a quarrel.
  Besides, Xu Wenhui no longer cares about the Yuan family’s affairs.
  In fact, he wasn't really that angry. After all, this was the Sheng family's business and had little to do with him.
  He just took the opportunity to get angry, lest the Yuan family think that he is a good old man and take advantage of him in the future!

After staying away from the Yuan family's building, Xu Wenhui asked Xu Qingyun beside him as he walked:

"Have all the soaps you saved previously been packed?"

"Yes, young master, they were all packed yesterday afternoon, a total of one hundred and fifty boxes! Except for leaving some spare parts, almost all the inventory in the store has been taken out!"

"Well, that's good. Yangzhou is relatively rich.

According to the news from Qingshan, the batch of soapware he brought to Yangzhou to test the water was five times more profitable than Bianjing.
  After all, it was just a drop-in, so I felt a little embarrassed if I didn’t bring more with me! "

When Xu Qingyun heard what Xu Wenhui said was interesting, she couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of her mouth. However, she suddenly thought of Xu Wenhui's plan before and said with some worry:
  "Young Master, are you really going to sell the secret recipe of soap this time? Are you thinking about it again? If the secret recipe is sold, we will no longer be a sole trader! Then the profit will be hard to say! "

Although Xu Qingyun is smart, she has the limitations of this era. Things like secret recipes are considered to be the foundation of a family, and she has never thought of selling them.
  Xu Wenhui is different. He believes that there are no eternal secrets in this world. No matter how careful the arrangement is, gaps will easily appear in the face of huge interests.
  Perhaps in the short term, others will be wary of the power of the Hou Mansion and dare not blatantly seize it.
  But there has never been a lack of secret actions, and the things that happened to Zhuangzi because of this are not rare!
  To put it bluntly, soap is a saponification reaction. It does not use many materials.
  Although Xu Wenhui bought some other things randomly,

But as time goes by, it will be studied sooner or later. The wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated!
  It's better to take advantage of the opportunity to make another big profit from him, make enough money, and don't have to bear the risk anymore.
  After all, this rare independent business is a bit eye-catching even for the Hou Mansion!

Yangzhou is a good place, with many salt merchants gathered there and very wealthy people. The famous salt merchants are also involved in numerous families in Bianjing.
  It's also a way of saving face for them, saving them from having to keep an eye on their own mansion!

And another point is that although the salt merchants are headquartered in Yangzhou, the salt they sell is divided into regions. There has been a tacit understanding for a long time.

Salt can only be sold in the prefectures specified by it, which is convenient for Xu Wenhui. The secret recipe can be sold separately in each prefecture.
  Don't the salt merchants have some kind of chamber of commerce? Maybe there's even a soap chamber of commerce! Let’s all prosper together!

However, neither Xu Qingyun nor Xu Qingyun could understand what he said for a while, Xu Wenhui just smiled and said:
  "Haha, Qingyun, don't worry, I know it well! When have you ever seen the young master doing a losing business?"

Although Xu Qingyun was a little worried after hearing this, she couldn't say anything else.
  As he was talking, he arrived near his houseboat. Xu Wenhui was about to board the boat.
  Suddenly I saw Gu Tingye and two boys walking in a light car from a distance.
  Now that he saw it, Xu Wenhui didn't want to just leave, so he just waited where he was.

When Gu Tingye came closer, Xu Wenhui cupped his fists and greeted:
  "Brother Zhonghuai! You're a little late, but now that you see my dear brother, it seems that you have convinced Shibo!"

When we had a drink at Fan Lou last time, everyone knew each other. Through introduction, Gu Tingye was one year older than Xu Wenhui, so Xu Wenhui naturally had to call him brother!

When Gu Tingye heard this, he also saw Xu Wenhui, and he also cupped his fists and said with a smile:

"Haha, it's Bo Sheng. You arrived quite early.
  Hey, my father didn't agree at all, I ran away secretly! It’s hard to describe in one word! Gu Tingye was obviously not willing to say more. He looked around and saw no one in the Yuan family, so he asked with some confusion:

"By the way, why are you the only one here? Where are the two brothers of the Yuan family? Are Yuan Shibo and aunt here? After all, I am also a junior. Since I am here, I have to pay a visit!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wenhui pointed behind him at the Yuan family's boathouse in the distance.

"The Yuan family is over there. Did you see it? There are a lot of people around there. Just go on your own!"

Hearing that Xu Wenhui meant that he didn't intend to go to the Yuan family, Gu Tingye said in surprise: "What, Bo Sheng, aren't you going to go?"

Xu Wenhui didn't intend to elaborate with Gu Tingye, so he casually said:

"I just went to say hello! This time I go to Yangzhou and take my own boat there!"

Gu Tingye was somewhat envious when he heard that Xu Wenhui was going to Yangzhou in his own boat. This man was treated differently from others. He had to sneak out when he went to Yangzhou, but he could send his family's houseboat...

Xu Wenhui saw Gu Tingye looking at his boat a little eagerly, and smiled politely:
  "Brother Zhonghuai, how about you come with me? Although the Yuan family's ship is not bad, it is going to collect troops after all. There are many relatives, friends and servants, so it is inevitable that there will be a lack of hospitality! It is cheaper here! "

Gu Tingye thought for a moment, then apologized slightly with embarrassment:

"Thank you very much, Boxheng. However, I have already made an agreement with the Yuan family before and everything is ready there. It would be wrong if I don't take the ride at the moment. I can only live up to Boxheng's kindness! Brother Yu is here again Thanks!"

In fact, Gu Tingye also wanted to take the ride, but he had agreed with the Yuan family that it would be a bad idea not to go. Secondly, he and Xu Wenhui were not that familiar yet, they had only met once, and they still had some grudges.

Xu Wenhui was just being polite. It didn't matter whether Gu Tingye agreed or not, so he smiled and said:

"Haha, it doesn't matter. Brother Zhonghuai is right. After all, I am still the younger brother, Meng Lang! I'm just a little regretful that I can't go with Brother Zhonghuai!"

"Bosheng is so polite!" Gu Tingye said, suddenly thinking that people from the Bai family might be blocking this trip, making it difficult for them to make it public, so he ordered with a slight hesitation:
  "Bosheng, there is one more thing I want to tell you!"

"Brother Zhong Huai, it's okay to say so!"

"That's right. Actually, I have other things to do when I go to Yangzhou, so I need to keep a low profile. My name is Bai Ye for the time being, so..."

When Gu Tingye said this, Xu Wenhui understood what was going on. This was just in case the Bai family was prepared, so he quickly made another fist salute,

"I see, that little brother has met Brother Bai!"

"Forehead……"

Xu Wenhui was so straightforward that Gu Tingye was stunned for a moment. After realizing it, he laughed and saluted in the same way:
  "Bai Ye has met the wise brother, haha!"

The two exchanged brief greetings and prepared to leave.

After taking two steps, Gu Tingye suddenly turned around and asked, as if he thought of something:
  "By the way, Bo Sheng, how is Liulang doing lately? I haven't seen him for a few days!"
