Chapter 10

Jinxiu Pavilion sells silk and cloth, and it is with the Xu family that Shen Lang entered into the marriage before, but the scale is smaller than the Xu family.

Although its owner, the Lin family, is not as wealthy as the Xu family, it is also a famous family of wealthy people in Xuanwu City, with branches in more than a dozen surrounding cities.

Most importantly, the Lin family was the competitor of the Xu family.

Seeing Shen Lang and Tian Shisan come in, someone immediately stepped forward to say hello.

"Hello, guest, but to see the fabric, we just released the new cotton fabric, you can touch it and see that it is thin and soft." The shop assistant's eyes are sharp, and he can see at a glance that Shen Lang has no money, so the sales are cotton and Not silk.

Shen Lang said directly: "Tell your master, I want to do a big business with the Lin family, at least let him earn 5,000 more gold coins every year."

As soon as these words came out, the guy was stunned. Although he had a smile on his face, he was extremely contemptuous in his heart. With your poor appearance, if you could earn 5,000 gold coins every year, would you still be so poor?

"Guest officer, don't make fun of the villain." The shop assistant said with a smile.

Tian Shisan said on the side, "I'm Tian Shisan from the Black Clothes Gang. I invite the Lin family master to discuss a business."

As soon as these words came out, the guy didn't dare to take it seriously.

Tian Heng's black-clothed gang is well-known in the entire Xuanwu City. They operate gambling stalls, brothels, and lending businesses. Although they usually do not commit river water with the Lin Jiajing, such gang forces can try their best not to offend.

This guy thought that Tian Shisan was blackmailing on behalf of the Black Clothes Gang.

"Master Thirteen, it's a shame to welcome you." A chubby shopkeeper walked out quickly and said loudly, "Serve tea, serve good tea."

The shop assistant hurriedly brewed a pot of fragrant tea and poured a cup for Tian Shisan and Shen Lang each.

The shopkeeper said: "Master Thirteen, what do you have the same thing as I said? My master has long wanted to make friends with Gang Master Tian Heng. This little care is not respectful."

Then he pushed over a box with twenty gold coins in it, which was actually quite a lot of money.

Tian Shisan smiled and said, "Treasurer Lin really treats me as someone who fights the autumn wind. He really has business to talk to your master, not blackmail."

The shopkeeper was stunned and said, "Is there really a business?"

Tian Shisan said: "There is really business."

The shopkeeper said, "I can't be the master?"

Tian Shisan said: "You can't be the master."

The shopkeeper said, "The two of you will wait a moment. I'll go and invite the master to come over. Dude, give the two masters a snack."

...

Shen Lang and Tian Shisan were eating snacks and drinking tea, waiting for Lin Mo, the boss of Jinxiu Pavilion, to arrive.

About half an hour later, a middle-aged man in brocade walked in. He was the rich man in Xuanwu City and the owner of Jinxiu Pavilion, Lin Mo.

"You two have big business to talk to me?" Lin Mo asked.

He has no fear of Tian Shisan, and for his sake, he also has backers behind him. Moreover, his son entered the Tiannan Martial Arts School with good grades. After the martial arts exam, he would become a military attache, so even if he had no fear of Tian Heng, everyone just didn't make the water in the well.

Shen Lang said: "Yes, big business! It can make Manager Lin earn at least 5,000 more gold coins every year."

Lin Mo frowned. He didn't like this kind of exaggerated youth, and the appearance of a small white face was unreliable.

"Say." Lin Mo said.

Shen Lang said: "I have a formula to sell to Boss Lin for two thousand gold coins."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Mo's expression changed, and his face became cold: "Lin's time is precious, there is no time to waste with respect and honor, see off!"

After all, he just picked up the tea and was about to drive people away.

Even Tian Shisan was stunned. One thousand gold coins was already absurd. Shen Lang actually said two thousand gold coins. This was completely maddening. He really regretted bringing Shen Lang to Jinxiu Pavilion.

Lin Mo immediately got up and left, not giving Shen Lang the slightest chance.

Tian Shisan glared at Shen Lang coldly, and said coldly, "You are courting death..."

Seeing that the gold master was about to leave, Shen Lang took out a piece of silk from his arms and put it in front of Lin Mo and said, "Boss Lin, look at the color on this piece of silk, is it worth two thousand gold coins?"

Lin Mo turned around, and his eyes fell on the silk in Shen Lang's hand, which was only the size of a handkerchief.

Tian Shisan glanced at it and felt that Shen Lang was out of his mind. He wanted to sell such a small piece of silk for two thousand gold coins?

However, the owner of the Jinxiu Pavilion suddenly opened his eyes, showing an expression of disbelief, walked over quickly, picked up the piece of silk and put it in front of his eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "This, how is this possible? It's golden, how is this possible?!"

Tian Shisan was startled, and then he noticed that the piece of silk that Shen Lang gave was bright golden yellow.

Shen Lang said: "What does the Xu family rely on to develop? It's because his silk is exclusively for the monarch, and it's because his silk is so yellow."

In ancient China, the color of yellow was exclusive to the royal family, and only the clothes of emperors, queens, and imperial concubines were yellow.

In this world, it is similar. In the whole country of Yue, only the monarch's family can use yellow silk.

But the yellow color of silk in this world is dyed with gardenia. The yellow is yellow enough, but the color is thin and not bright enough.

The piece of silk that Shen Lang took out was dyed with a brand-new formula. The yellow color of the locust locust juice mixed with alum was very bright, giving people a golden feeling.

The dragon robes of the emperors of the Manchu Dynasty were dyed with this dye. You can still see these dragon robes in the Palace Museum. How noble and gorgeous?

When Shen Lang went to pick herbs yesterday, he picked a lot of locust rice by the way. As for alum, which is a traditional Chinese medicine, there are still some left at home.

When he boiled the traditional Chinese medicine yesterday, he also made half a bowl of this golden fuel by the way, and then tore off a piece of the colorless silk underwear from his body and put it in to dye it.

After dyeing, let it dry overnight, and bake it with fire for a little while, and this golden silk is almost finished.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Mo quickly took out another piece of yellow silk, which he dyed with gardenia at home.

There is no harm without contrast, the silk yellow on the left is too tacky and blunt. The piece of Shen Lang on the right is golden and compelling, and a judgment is made.

Shen Langdao: "I dyed this piece of silk overnight yesterday, and the effect is actually not satisfactory. If there is enough time and materials, it is possible to make a brighter golden yellow, and the silk thread starts to dye, and then woven into silk, the effect is will be better."

Lin Mo was stunned and said, "It's just so effective after making it overnight?"

Shen Lang said: "Yes, so if you get the formula, the dyed silk will only be more golden and luxurious. What will happen if you send this golden silk to the King's Weaving House?"

With the toes, you can imagine that the monarch's weaving house will immediately abandon the silk of the Xu family and use the silk of the Lin family.

At that time, the silk business exclusively for the monarch fell into the hands of the Lin family.

How much money the business makes is trivial, the key is fame and political resources.

Shen Lang said: "Patriarch Lin, can my business make your Lin family earn 5,000 more gold coins every year?"

Lin Mo shook his head and said, "It doesn't stop."

Shen Lang said: "Then, is it expensive to sell you two thousand gold coins for this golden yellow dye formula?"

Lin Mo said: "Not expensive, not expensive at all."

Tian Shisan next to him looked at Shen Lang in astonishment.

Obviously, when Shen Lang promised to buy Tian Heng a thousand gold coins the night before, he thought of a way to make money, and he was completely confident.

But what he didn't expect was that he would earn two thousand gold coins!

What was even more unexpected was that he would have to retaliate against the Xu family for the money he made.

That's right, Shen Lang is so arrogant and must report, not only making money, but also hurting the Xu family.

What would be the loss once the Xu family lost the business dedicated to the monarch's silk? Totally imaginable!

Why did the Xu family's silk business run rampant in several provinces without anyone disrupting it? Isn't it because his family's silk specializing in the monarch's weaving house?

Lin Mo stared at the golden silk obsessively at the sun, as if he couldn't get enough of it. After a while, he said, "How can I believe that you made this dye? It's entirely possible that you picked it up. It's just a piece of silk."

Shen Lang said: "I brought all the materials, give me an hour, I will make this golden dye for you, I promise it will be better than last night."

Lin Mo said, "Really?"

Shen Lang said: "Really."

Lin Mo said: "Okay, I'll give you the entire backyard. Whatever you want, just ask. As long as you make this golden dye on the spot, it will prove that the formula is indeed yours, and the business will be done."

Shen Lang said: "Two thousand gold coins."

Lin Mo said: "Never bargain."
