Chapter 429 Festival (II)

"Brother Han, long time no see."

Tao Qingtang stood in a corner of the yard with a smile on her face, looking at Han Yi.

She was wearing a white fox fur coat, and her face was obviously rosier and fuller than before she signed the contract with Han Yi.

From her complexion, it can be seen that she has been living a good life recently.

She waved her hand, and the servant behind her quickly stepped forward and handed over a gift box wrapped in red cloth.

The gift box was embroidered with phoenixes, magpies and bats, forming a circular pattern, symbolizing good luck and good fortune.

"You are here, why are you so troublesome..." Han Yi shook his head, let Yang Du take the gift box, and smiled.

"It's not a valuable thing. I know that you like the black tiger root carving last time, and this time it just changed the shape." Tao Qingtang explained.

"Okay, let's go in and talk, it's cold outside." Han Yi greeted the group and quickly entered the main house.

The main house was also empty, with only a few servants preparing the banquet.

After all, after the "Mountain-Ganning Festival", it was time for vacation and rest. Han Yi also waved his hand and asked most of those who lived far away to go home for the New Year, leaving only a few who lived close to home.

Yang Du quickly arranged a table of wine and food, and everyone was polite to each other to sit at the table.

Han Yi really didn't like the kind of luxurious banquet life with a life of debauchery and extravagance.

But he was still willing to organize a dinner party like this, which was a reunion of old friends and a few drinks to exchange feelings.

Next to Tao Qingtang, there was a chubby child sitting.

He was wearing a thick and solid dark blue cotton coat, his little face was round, his chin was layered with several layers, and his two little eyes were like jujube pits. Whether he was walking, talking, or smiling, his eyes were only a slit, as if he hadn't woken up yet, so cute.

"Your son?" Han Yi mentioned it casually.

Although Tao Qingtang didn't look very old, women got married very early in this era. It's not surprising to have such a big son.

"No, this is my younger brother. I brought him out to see the world this time." Tao Qingtang explained quickly, "Xiaofei, come and pay your respects to your big brother Han."

Although Tao Xiaofei looked fat, his little head was quite smart.

At that moment, he climbed down the chair and kowtowed: "Big Brother Han!"

"Hey, hey, get up quickly, get up quickly." Han Yi hurried to pull him.

But Tao Xiaofei was smart, but his temper was extremely stubborn.

He refused to get up until Tao Qingtang said something.

Han Yi had no choice but to take out a big red envelope from his arms, and the boy was willing to get up amid Tao Qingtang's laughter, and climbed onto the chair with his short legs.

Han Yi glared at Tao Qingtang unhappily.

Tao Qingtang was smiling, with a bit of playfulness on his face.

She was not worried that Han Yi would be angry, because through various previous correspondences, both parties had long been familiar with each other's temper.

Such a little joke can actually promote the relationship between the two parties.

After all the dishes were served, Han Yi asked the servants to pour the wine and prepared to start the feast.

Of course, for those who did not go home and stayed in the inspection house, he also arranged a few tables of food nearby, which was also rich, as compensation for their lack of rest.

After a round of polite words and three rounds of wine, the atmosphere at the table became more and more lively, and everyone began to chat.

"Are you ready this time?" Han Yi looked at Tao Qingtang.

"Yes, the location, the clerks, and the goods are basically ready."

"Which piece of land have you taken a fancy to? Do you need me to coordinate it?" Han Yi asked.

"No, everything has been negotiated, just waiting for the opening." Tao Qingtang smiled.

"Well, that's fine." Han Yi nodded.

Tao Qingtang had written to him before, saying that he wanted to open a "Plum Blossom Pavilion" branch in Jingming Town.

He thought this was a good thing, which could not only increase the prosperity of Jingming Town, but also open up a sales channel for "Plum Blossom Pavilion".

It was also part of his responsibility to attract investment.

He didn't think about the troubles. He was the inspector of this area anyway, so it was just a matter of a word.

But what he didn't expect was that before he asked for help, Tao Qingtang had already arranged everything.

"When the store opens, send me a letter and I'll go over to take a look." Han Yi thought about it and said.

Since he didn't help Tao Qingtang in preparing for the new store, he should go to the opening ceremony for both emotional and logical reasons.

"Okay." Tao Qingtang smiled and nodded.

She is a smart person who knows when to do something and when not to do something.

Although she has a good relationship with Han Yi, a good relationship does not mean that she can ask for unlimited favors.

After all, favors are always given and need to be used at critical moments.

The primary and secondary relationship between the two people. In fact, the moment Han Yi stepped into the fourth level of true skills and became the inspector of Jingtian Manor, it has gradually changed.

Now the relationship between the two is no longer a simple employment relationship, but more like a cooperative relationship led by Han Yi.

Han Yi made it clear that he had the full support of Jiuquyuan, especially the head of the academy, Zhong Yunxiu.

This status is not comparable to that of a middle-class merchant family in Huayang City.

It is precisely because of this that Tao Qingtang has had fewer troubles recently. The hooligans who made trouble disappeared without a trace, and no forces dared to cause trouble.

Therefore, she gave up asking Han Yi for help, and decisively arranged everything to open a store here in Jingming Town. The purpose is to continue to maintain a good relationship with Han Yi.

"By the way, the trade route has been a little bit unstable recently. It's best to find more people when you go out to deliver goods." Han Yi reminded Tao Qingtang based on the recent situation.

Now that his status and position have improved, the gold notes provided to him by the Plum Blossom Pavilion have also risen. The relationship between the two is a win-win situation. It is also his job to communicate and provide information to each other.

"Is there any news recently?" Tao Qingtang asked in a low voice.

"Nothing, it's just that the border has been in chaos recently, resulting in an increase in the number of foreign population. With so many foreigners, they can't find any good jobs and can't eat enough. Many people start to think of ways to go astray, which is a bit unstable." Han Yi waved his hand and said casually, "In fact, it's still the cause of the Pingzhou Demon Disaster. There are many refugees, many fights, and the overall environment is not good. You'd better store more raw materials to prevent extreme situations from happening."

"Well, I know. Recently, I have stored enough food for "Jiujie'e", and it won't be a problem to eat for three to five years. "Tao Qingtang nodded.

Jiujie'e is a special monster. Its scales are like stars, colorful, and have a special fragrance. It is popular with many noble ladies and is the real source of the raw materials for the "Meihua Pavilion" perfume powder.

Therefore, for Tao Qingtang, as long as the "Jiujie'e" raised by his family is well fed and well watered, there will be enough spices to provide.

"This is necessary on the one hand, but on the other hand, you have to open up more new channels. The source of spices is too single, and it is easy to have problems."

Han Yi recalled the diversified commercial model in his previous life and said a few more words.

"Okay." Tao Qingtang kept nodding, like a student who listened carefully to the class.

The two chatted for a while.

Suddenly, Tao Qingtang asked Han Yi: "Brother Han, the Hundred Heroes Club is about to open again. Do you have any recommended candidates?"
