Chapter 196:
Anyway, she chalked this matter up against Luo Zhi’er, feeling that Luo Zhi’er did it on purpose.
This Zhao Fengjiao was actually aiming for the Young Master’s title from the start!
Unfortunately, he didn’t even glance at her, cold as ice, like a life-taking rakshasa from hell, emanating an aura that kept people thousands of miles away along with killing intent!
That Song Wu also had a face full of killing intent, blocking her so she didn’t have the slightest contact with him.
And that Jiang Shaoqing was completely not interested in her, even saying she was a blabbermouth who affected their hunting, showing no pity for women at all, telling Jia Xin to leave her behind to feed the wolves!
Wang Jiji wasn’t as handsome as those two young masters, his gaze focused entirely on hunting, just endlessly directing Li Sanmao on where to set traps and what prey to catch.
Regarding shooting a woman, he said to let his guard take a look, his guard knew medicine, she could only refuse saying she couldn’t let a man get close, dodging him the whole way wasn’t even enough…
Luo Zhi’er taught them to wrap roasted meat in vegetable leaves to eat, then sprinkle some homemade barbecue seasoning cumin powder, and with one bite Ye Beiyao felt especially satisfied!
Those who like tomato sauce can dip it in tomato sauce to eat.
After Wang Jiji ate it, he narrowed his eyes, “Dongli Kingdom actually has such delicious food? Meat can be eaten like this? Luo Fatty, you should open a restaurant to benefit the people, not farm at home!”
“Do I need you to tell me? I want to too, but look, the situation doesn’t allow it!”
“You don’t have silver? Hey, no worries, I’ll lend it to you, but remember to pay it back later!”
“Hehe, thanks for Young Master Wang’s kind offer, this matter can wait a bit longer!”
“Why?”
Wang Jiji thought simply, feeling that opening a shop just required the skill, and with funding what was there to fear?
“Sigh, Wang Xiong, eat meat, eat meat!”
Blocked by Jiang Shaoqing…
Luo Zhi’er grilled meat while chatting with them, these guys ate too fast, not enough to eat, eyes teary from the smoke!
Called Li Sanmao to cut some of today’s hunted wild boar and elk meat, slice it, and grill it.
After handling it, Li Sanmao came over too, she wrapped some meat for him to eat, he saw her sweating profusely from grilling and stood up, replacing her, “Wife, you tell me how to grill, I’ll do it, you go eat!”
“Grill both sides of this meat until golden brown, husband, you eat first, come back later.”
Li Sanmao had run around for half a day and was tired too, plus handling meat, let him eat first, this big oaf felt sorry for her.
“Husband isn’t hungry anymore, ate a few pieces of pizza, belly is full! Look!”
“Alright then!”
Luo Zhi’er stopped being coy!
“Yo! You two little lovebirds are quite affectionate, Luo Fatty, if you open a food shop in the future and run into any trouble, find me Wang Jiji, I guarantee no thug gets within half a meter of you!”
Wang Jiji was healed by her food, those headaches from school and manor topics instantly forgotten, as long as he could often eat this roasted meat and pizza, it was fine!
“Leave it to me Wang Jiji!” Patted his chest!
This Wang Jiji was a man of temperament.
Luo Zhi’er smiled, “Then many thanks to Young Master Wang!”
“No big deal!”
Ye Beiyao and Jiang Shaoqing were thinking other thoughts! Seeing Luo Zhi’er across from them wrapping roasted meat for Miaomiao, Jiang Shaoqing spoke up, “Luo Niangzi, actually I came today with other matters to consult… so…”
“Young Master Jiang, please speak, I’ll do my best to tell what I know…”
“This Young Master heard Bei Yao talk about that model matter, so I’m quite interested and came specially to learn a thing or two.”
Otherwise, why would he come to this remote backwater?
“I see!”
“If I want to use models to promote my family’s Buyi Workshop cloth, do you have any good sales models to expand influence?”
Jiang Shaoqing’s posture was extremely humble, he felt this Luo Niangzi might really be able to save him from his current family predicament.
The dye secret recipe she gave last time, he only gave his father a small portion, not all of it, keeping a hand, because he felt his father favored Jiang Xuan.
Eldest uncle and oldest brother weren’t to be trusted!
If they kicked him out of Hong Futai later, or damaged Hongfutai’s benefits leaving an empty shell, he’d still have a trump card!
His father’s attitude toward him seemed slightly improved, but only to the point of letting him return to the manor, allowing him to go back to the old home for New Year at year’s end…
Regarding shop operating rights, the family currently gave him no resources, his father and second uncle were fighting fiercely, Jiang Xuan had more of his father’s trust!
Thus, some production secret recipes and some customers were in his hands.
They marginalized him, any idea he proposed was immediately shot down, nipped in the cradle.
He was caught between two sides, he must secretly accomplish something big, not only making his father look at him with new eyes, but letting all Hong Futai members see, and Hongfutai’s various business partners believe in his ability.
Luo Zhi’er looked at him faintly, thoughts swirling, this Jiang Shaoqing’s family dominated the Jiangnan area, their power no small matter.
Associating with him would benefit her too, but if he was the marginalized one, even if he wanted to help he might be powerless! Might as well see it through to the end!
“I think, first you need to solve what problem?”
“Actually, it’s still the price higher than market price issue, because I didn’t tell the full plan last time, so you know… those problems weren’t resolved.”
“And also expanding our Hong Futai’s reputation…”
“OK, I understand!”
Actually these couldn’t solve the problems he faced! To prove himself, he could only take another path.
“Higher than market price, that’s easy to handle, you need to make buyers feel this high price is very worth it, extremely worth it, and they’d fight over it but still can’t buy.”
“Oh?” The others all put down their chopsticks, listening intently.
“I’d like to hear the details!”
“Yes, we’re all ears!”
“Your price isn’t high enough!” Luo Zhi’er said faintly.
“What?” Wang Jiji was speechless, nearly spitting out the meat in his mouth, this Luo Fatty talking nonsense again, not high?
“Prices are already so high few buy, any higher, how to sell?”
“Shaoqing, Luo Fatty is bragging, what does a fat food-lover know? Drop those thoughts!” Wang Jiji feared he’d be disappointed!!!
He felt Bei Yao and Shaoqing had both been fooled by her flowery words!
“No, Luo Niangzi, tell us… Wang Xiong, calm down first…” Jiang Shaoqing still held a sliver of hope.
Luo Zhi’er cleared her throat and began analyzing and explaining,
“What I mean is, let’s create a new brand independent from Hong Futai, if doing it, do luxury goods in the cloth business, Hong Futai’s clothing part faces ordinary customers, part faces high-end customers who can afford it!”
“Since operating rights there are in others’ hands, whether they sell clothing or not isn’t your business, this luxury end you handle personally, grip it tight! As long as you manage it well, the rest will follow naturally!”
She could guess his predicament somewhat, being exiled from Jiangnan to Taoyuan Town was probably a situation similar to Ye Beiyao’s!
Jiang Shaoqing’s eyes lit up, right, since he couldn’t get those operating rights, why not start his own stove?
“Just, don’t let word of this new luxury brand project leak for now, secretly inform your father, so if they make trouble later, he has preparation!”
“But… my father he…”
Jiang Shaoqing felt his father probably wouldn’t trust him anymore…
“If you don’t use any of his resources, don’t damage Hong Futai benefits, and can train your own ability, bring benefit hope to Hong Futai, why wouldn’t he be happy?”
Luo Zhi’er felt that despite favoritism, as his own legitimate son, as a real father he’d still be glad to see him achieve something.
She’d bank on that father-son bond, not spreading this first.
Jiang Shaoqing nodded.
“But what is luxury goods?”
“Next is what I’ll explain. We need to build a noble, elegant, precious brand image.”
