In the Sanmazi Restaurant of King Yuxiwasi, Zheng Rongtai ordered a table full of big fish and meat, but he couldn't eat it. Instead, he looked at the table full of fish and meat and swallowed, muttering: "I can't live for five years! I can't live for five years!"

Zheng Rongtai watched for a quarter of an hour before finally waved his hand with great pain. Several bartenders removed the dishes like flowing water, leaving only a few plates of side dishes and two pots of wine.

"No one wants to have dinner with me recently!"

Zheng Rongtai moaned in pain and said, "The imperial doctor said that if my weight rebounds, I will not live for five years. If I want to eat, I have to hold back. I have to feel wronged. I have to feel wronged."

Li Yanqing looked at the plates of side dishes, braised beans, fried vegetables, pickled dried radish, and a plate of fried eggs were barely considered small meat. His eyes were a little straight. No wonder no one wanted to eat with him. Is this called wine and food?

"You can bear it just eating this little thing?" Li Yanqing asked in confusion.

"I have to eat another roasted winter melon when I get home. My mother found that winter melon can indeed lose weight, so she asked the chef to make winter melon for me in different ways every day. Today, she should be eating braised winter melon with nectar, which is tofu and braised winter melon."

Li Yanqing was helpless. He couldn't eat enough to eat enough. He had to buy snacks when he went back.

“Fortunately there is wine!”

Li Yanqing smiled and filled him with wine, "A good way to lose weight is not only to slap in the water, but also to ride a horse. Your weight should be able to ride a horse. In the morning, and in the afternoon, if you stick to it, you can lose another twenty kilograms."

"Can you really lose twenty kilograms?" Zheng Rongtai's little eyes burst into surprise.

“Didn’t the weight loss advice I gave you have already worked?”

Zheng Rongtai was silent for a moment, and suddenly punched the table, gritting his teeth and said, "I will start riding a horse tomorrow morning!"

After the two of them drank a few glasses of wine, Zheng Rongtai began to get active. He asked in a low voice: "Danti-Yi Wang's Rouge Shop in Yujie Street, do you know?"

Li Yanqing's heart was thrilled and asked lightly: "Why are he mentioned?"

"The Zhu Fenglou on Yu Street, Zhu Family Restaurant and Wang Family Rouge Shop are all Zhu Xie's industries, and they have all been seized by the government. According to normal steps, they will be sold publicly soon. But you also know that the so-called public betrayal is just a superficial appearance, and the real competition is behind the scenes. I was thinking, if Baoyanzhai can get the Wang Family Rouge Shop, it will be the world's number one Rouge Shop."

"Isn't Zhang Gu Lao Yanzhi Shop also on Yu Street?"

"They are in the outer city of Yujie, and the Wangjia Yanzhishop is in the inner city of Yujie. The two are completely different. How about it, are you interested?"

"What if I'm interested? Do you have a way?"

Zheng Rongtai looked at both sides and his voice was lowered, "Do you remember Sun Daya who I introduced to you last time? He told me yesterday that he could take down the Wang Family Rouge Shop for 50,000 guan."

Li Yanqing shook his head, "How could I afford to spend 50,000 guan? Besides, so many powerful people stared at these three shops. Is it my turn? Your Zheng family is still the same."

"Our Zheng family actually wants that restaurant, covering an area of ​​three acres, worth at least 100,000 yuan. The problem now is that we can't even pay for the money. I heard that Xiang family asked for that restaurant."

The Xiang family is the mother's family of Empress Dowager Xiang and the most powerful relative in the court. Although the Zheng family is also considered a royal relative, its power and grace are far inferior to the Xiang family.

"Where is Zhu Fenglou?" Li Yanqing asked again: "Who got it?"

"Gao Yanei said that their family is bound to win. It is said that Liang Shicheng's fake is also interested, and he doesn't know who will eventually fall."

Seeing Zheng Rongtai’s regret, Li Yanqing smiled and said, “I want to ask you for help!”

Zheng Rongtai was excited and said, "Do you want the Wang Family Rouge Shop?"

"No! Your grandfather's birthday the day after tomorrow"

Li Yanqing said a few words to Zheng Rongtai. Zheng Rongtai thought for a while and said, "My uncle is responsible for this matter, but he loves me very much. I will tell him something. I don't think it's a big problem."

Speaking of this, Zheng Rongtai laughed, "If I told my uncle, it was your credit for losing weight, and he would definitely be very grateful."

Li Yanqing was not relieved that Fatty Zheng did things, so it was safer to control such things by himself.

"Why... I'll go and talk to my uncle with you?"

"Yes, we'll go after drinking this pot of wine."

Li Yanqing didn't care much about the red-colored Wang Family Rouge Floor in Yujie Street. If Zhao Kai gave it to him, he would accept it happily. This was the reward he deserved. If Zhao Kai didn't give it to him, he didn't care. Zhao Kai still owed him a favor and never held too high expectations for such things that he could not control.

On the contrary, Li Yanqing was very active in the matter of the 70th birthday of the Zheng family’s old man. He could control and win it.

Zheng Rongtai's uncle is named Zheng Yin, who inherited the unique body and appearance of the Zheng family man Ding, with a fat body and small mung bean eyes.

Zheng Yin is currently the largest spice merchant in the Song Dynasty and has obtained the franchise from the government. He has large warehouses in Quanzhou and Mingzhou, and also a fleet of seaborne ships dedicated to transporting spices, heading to Nanyang to buy and transport spices.

He monopolized nearly 50% of the spices in the Song Dynasty, and the spice bureau of the Royal Palace basically bought spices from him.

Perhaps because of his obesity, although Zheng Yin has many wives and concubines, he cannot give birth to children. He can only regard his nephew Zheng Rongtai as his heir.

Zheng Yin was quite polite to Li Yanqing. On the one hand, Li Yanqing was a Jieyuan in Xiangzhou and was sacrificed in the Imperial Academy. As a native of Xiangzhou, Zheng Yin would respect these Xiangzhou children who were good at academically and became officials.

On the other hand, for his nephew's sake, his nephew's weight loss effect in the past two months was significant. It is said that they were Li Yanqing's plan, which made Zheng Yin quite grateful. At least Li Yanqing is his nephew's real friend, not those friends who encouraged his nephew to eat, drink, and gambling all day long.

Zheng Yin was quite surprised when he heard that Li Yanqing was the young owner of Baoyanzhai and said with a smile: "It turns out that Baoyanzhai was made by us from Xiangzhou. I have heard of it in Quanzhou. Those big food merchants are so scolding!"

"Does Shibo mean perfume?"

"That's right! The big-season rose water is so popular in our Song Dynasty. Those big-season merchants have made a fortune. But Baoyanzhai's perfume comes out and immediately snatch half of their business. You should grow bigger and open the store to the south so that even those dog-go-season bottles can't be sold."

"I think so! But Baoyanzhai's reputation has just been made, and the capital is limited, so I can't keep up with the store opening. I have to take my time. This year, I plan to open a store in Xiangzhou, Nanjing, Xijing and Hangzhou. Quanzhou will be at the earliest next year."

"It is better to open a store in Daming Mansion than to open a store in Xiangzhou. Daming Mansion covers the entire Hebei two roads, and Xiangzhou only has a part of Hebei West Road, so the effect is far worse."

"It's a fellow Tangyin fellow who wants to do it."

Zheng Yin said softly, "But even fellow villagers should open a store in Daming Mansion, otherwise you will have to open a second store in Hebei."

Li Yanqing couldn't help but secretly admire Zheng Shiwang's eyes, and nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Shiwang reminds me, I will go back and write a letter, suggesting that the store be opened in Daming Mansion."

At this time, Zheng Rongtai said on the side: "Uncle, Yanqing has something to do to ask for help."

Zheng Rongtai said Li Yanqing's thoughts, and Zheng Yin narrowed his eyes. This young man is very powerful! He is so flexible and good at seizing opportunities, but it's just a little too late.

He thought for a while and said, "Tai'er's grandfather is indeed going to return the gift to the guests on his 70th birthday, but I have already booked the agarwood for the female guest. The male guest is the four treasures of the study in Zhang Linglong's store. I'm afraid it's too late to change it now."

Agarwood is the most expensive incense in Bianjing. A piece of agarwood costs ten taels of silver. Zhang Linglong’s four treasures in the study are also the top-notch goods in Bianjing. A box of twenty guan coins is a big deal. The Zheng family only pays nearly twenty thousand coins to return gifts to guests.

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "You don't mind the guests being too much gift! You don't need to change it, just add a gift to the female guest."

Speaking of this, he took out a gift box from Baoyanzhai and handed it to Zheng Yin, "Shi Bo, please take a look first."

Baoyanzhai’s gift box is made of nanmu and comes from the famous Caoji Carpenter Store in the capital. It is very exquisitely made. The outside is made of high-quality earth paint. It is black and shiny. The lid is painted with gold in the middle, and the three words "Bayanzhai" with shining golden colors are engraved in the middle, but it is not the handwriting of the emperor.

There is a lot of attention here. Although the thin gold body was created by the emperor, it is not possible for anyone to use it. At least it must be approved by the emperor. Zheng Yin immediately saw the clue and pointed to the store name and asked, "This is a thin gold body. Can it be used?"

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Our store sign is written by the emperor."

Zheng Yin nodded and stopped talking. He opened the box, cushioned it with satin, and divided it into four or five small grids. This is actually a powder box, which almost every woman has it, but it is rare to have such exquisite workmanship. This box itself is worth a lot of money, and it is neatly placed in Baoyanzhai's rouge, perfume, fragrant ink, foundation, fragrant cake, eyebrow pencil, and mirror.

At this time, Zheng Yin suddenly found a small wooden box inside, which was quite exquisitely made with the word "Yuzhi" written on it. He asked curiously: "What is this?"

"This is jade fat, unique in the world."

‘The world is unique?’ Zheng Yin was puzzled. When he opened the small box, it turned out to be a piece of white jade in the shape of a round cake, snow-white and delicate, which was pleasing to the eye.

Zheng Yin was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't this balm?"

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "It is not an ordinary balm. Shibo will know it after using it. It is the same as the usage of balm, and it can be placed in a box at ordinary times."

"Quick! Help me up."

Zheng Yin was full of curiosity and quickly asked the maids on both sides to help him to the bathroom. At this time, Zheng Rongtai whispered: "Is there any other cosmetic box? I want to give one to my mother."

"I have one in my horse bag, I'll give it to you later."

After a moment, Zheng Yin walked out with a refreshing and neat face, laughed and said, "Good thing! It's really unique in the world. This is the first time I have used it. I ordered five hundred sets of your rouge boxes, and each box must have jade fat."

Five hundred sets are 5,000 guan. The Zheng family made a fortune, which made the Yanzhi shop make a big profit. However, Li Yanqing was a little worried. Do they have 500 guan soap?
