The Peerless Servant

Chapter 17: This boy has a talent beyond compare



"Ten taels?"

Wushuang and Yun'er couldn't believe the price Huo Chen'an offered.

Huo Chen'an nodded and continued, "And I want to let Miss Wushuang take care of the business of making and selling wine. What do you think?"

Huo Chen'an chose Wushuang after careful consideration (definitely not because of her beauty). First, he saved her life, which is a contractual relationship on the moral level. Second, she is in a very bad situation and needs this opportunity. She will do her best to do this. Third and most importantly, Huo Chen'an doesn't know any other suitable people.

Wushuang looked at Huo Chen'an in disbelief.

The next moment, Wushuang knelt down with a plop: "Wushuang thanks you for your kindness, young master."

She knew very well how much benefit there was in it. If she could really make it, even if she sold it for one tael, she would make a lot of money.

Huo Chenan hurriedly helped Wushuang up and said, "Why thank you? It's not given to you for free. Let's split the proceeds 40% and 60%."

"It's too much. I want 20%, not 10%." Wushuang hurriedly said.

"I mean you split 60% and I split 40%." Huo Chenan waved his hand and said.

"Ah?" Wushuang was confused again. Huo Chenan's unexpected operations made her brain unable to keep up.

"Your 60% includes the cost of buying raw materials and management. I still have my job to do. It's not suitable for me to participate in this business, so you need to rely on yourself for many things."

Finally, Wushuang reluctantly agreed to this split plan after much persuasion.

"Mr. Huo, can you sell it for ten taels of silver?" Wushuang was still a little hesitant about this price.

"Come with me." Huo Chenan did not answer but took Wushuang and Yun'er back to Qixia Mountain.

...

"Old man, old man Li." Huo Chenan came to the two old men with a smile.

The two were playing chess in the courtyard. When they saw Huo Chenan coming, they stopped the game and looked at him with a smile.

"Stinky boy, all the saints and sages in ancient times were lonely, only drinkers left their names. This poem is wonderful. This old man Wang talks about the words of saints and sages all day long. I think he is very lonely. I am very free and easy. Let's go and drink." Old man Li shouted.

"You old rascal, you are going to cheat when you see that you are going to lose." Old Wang sneered at the side.

Huo Chenan also found it very interesting to see these two old men who are more than a hundred years old bickering here. He did not help either of them and just watched the show.

"Why did you go and come back?" Old man Li knew that he could not argue with Old Wang, so he changed the subject and asked Huo Chenan.

"Of course there are good things." Huo Chenan smiled mysteriously and took the sealed wine jar from Yun'er's arms.

"Isn't this the wine I gave you this morning?" Old Wang asked in confusion.

"Old Wang, you old thing, I've been asking you for this wine for so long, but you haven't given it to me." Old man Li said angrily.

"Hey, don't ask me anymore, I've given it all to little friend Huo." Old Wang didn't care at all.

Old man Li looked at Old Wang in surprise. He knew that Old Wang treasured this imperial tribute wine very much. He was willing to give it all to Huo Chenan. It seemed that Old Wang really valued this kid Huo.

"Hey, I don't like the wine you gave me at all." Huo Chenan said.

"Hey, you kid are just bragging. You said last night that the wine was not good. If you have good wine, you should take it out for us to taste." Old man Li said disdainfully.

Huo Chenan smiled and began to chant:

"Singing to the wine, how long is life!

Like the morning dew, the past days are full of suffering.

I should be generous, and the worries are unforgettable.

How to relieve worries? Only Du Kang.

Your green collar, my heart is lingering.

But for your sake, I have been pondering until now.

The deer is calling, eating wild apples.

I have guests, playing the harp and blowing the flute.

As bright as the moon, when can it be picked?

The worries come from it, and they cannot be cut off.

Crossing the fields, it is in vain to keep each other.

Talking about the past, thinking of the old kindness.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the magpies fly south.

Circling the tree three times, which branch can I rely on?

The mountains are never too high, and the sea is never too deep.

Zhou Gong spits out food, and the world is at peace."

While chanting the poem, Huo Chenan opened the seal of the wine jar, and the aroma of wine filled the air instantly. As a businessman in the future, Huo Chenan naturally knows how to package. If he only sells wine, then selling one or two taels is not too much, but if he packages it, then selling ten taels is not too much. Just like the advertisement of Melatonin in the future, which bundles gifts with Melatonin, ordinary nutritional products can also be sold at sky-high prices.

And Huo Chenan chose this short song as the slogan for this wine. Whenever people think of wine in the future, they will think of this sentence: "How to relieve worries, only Du Kang can relieve worries."

After chanting a short song, the yard was first quiet enough to hear a pin drop, and then with a "pop", the chess piece in Wang Lao's hand fell on the chessboard.

This kid has a talent against the sky!

In just two days, he has two masterpieces handed down from generation to generation, and the fighting spirit is so terrifying.

How many literati and scholars have studied the classics for a lifetime and still can't have a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, and guess how big it is, do you still give others a chance to live?

Of course, what Mr. Wang cares more about is the profound meaning contained in the poem. He can feel the lofty ambition in the poem, which comforts him.

Then a smell of wine broke the tranquility of the courtyard.

"What a nice smell!" Old man Li was the first to react.

Immediately, Old man Li ordered someone to find a few wine glasses and asked Huo Chenan to pour a glass for him and Mr. Wang respectively.

Looking at the clear wine in the glass, Old man Li couldn't help but pick up the glass and drink it all.

"Shaha. Good wine. Good wine."
