0374: Don't Lose Face Anymore.
"Let's have lunch first, and chat while eating."
Qiao Ji smiled slightly, turned her face to look at Xue Nai and ordered, "Xiao Xue can start serving the dishes."
"Yes." Xue Nai replied softly, turned around and led the maids to put the tableware on the table.
The white cat lady placed a pair of exquisite tableware in front of Qiao Ji, and the rest of the maids also held the tableware in front of the Marquis Powell's family.
These tableware were made by Qinglu family specially by Qiao Ji, which is a complete set of blue and white porcelain tableware.
Snow-like pure white with a touch of cyan is simply as fascinating as a work of art.
Of course, these tableware are used by Qiao Ji for the last three meals, and they are already used to it by the people in the courtyard.
But it was different when these tableware fell on the Marquis Powell's family. They all looked at the tableware in amazement and resisted the urge to pick it up and observe it.
They pretended to be calm and glanced at other places, but their eyes kept falling on the tableware, and the whole family showed their unnatural acting skills.
The maids arranged the tableware calmly on the surface, but they were holding back their laughter in their hearts, because the acting skills of the Marquis Powell's family were really clumsy.
How did the cutlery look so good? Melissa exclaimed inwardly - out loud.
As the person in charge of managing the food and living at home, it is really hard for her to resist this kind of exquisite tableware.
Especially the color on the tableware, Melissa has never seen color on the tableware, the overall look is particularly harmonious.
Fohai picked up a dinner plate and praised it without hesitation, "Mother, this tableware is really beautiful, much prettier than ours."
"It's really pretty." Melissa nodded with an elegant smile.
Then she looked at Fohai with imperceptible eyes, her eyes seemed to say that you should stop being ashamed.
"Marquis Qiao Ji, where did you buy your tableware?" Marquis Powell asked with a smile.
He just touched the tableware in front of him. The smooth plates and bowls seem to glow, and they feel very textured, especially those cyan patterns.
From the bottom of his heart, he felt that these tableware were many times better than his own tableware, and they were not of the same grade at all.
"Yeah, if you can, recommend the store, and we'll go buy a set." Melissa also echoed.
She originally wanted to refrain from asking about these tableware, but since her son had already spoken first, she might as well ask, after all, it is really beautiful.
It's just that Melissa felt that Qiao Ji was too extravagant, so she took out such good tableware for eating, thinking that such beautiful tableware must cost tens of thousands of gold coins each.
"Papa papa......."
"Okay, our family will have beautiful tableware soon." Fohai clapped his hands happily.
Zeniya gently pulled her younger brother's clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Fohai, what did mother teach you at home?"
"Oh." Fohai's excited mood slowly faded away.
Qiao Ji put down his wine glass, and a gentle voice sounded, "It's made by my industry - Blue and White Porcelain Workshop."
-
"Blue and white porcelain workshop?"
Melissa heard the name of this workshop for the first time, but she couldn't remember where there was this shop in the imperial capital.
"Marquis Qiao Ji, where is this store?" Marquis Powell really wanted to buy a set.
"It's not open yet." Qiao Ji said, spreading his hands.
"That's a pity." Marquis Powell really felt a little pity.
Taking advantage of the fact that the dishes were not ready, he asked with a straight posture, "Marquis Qiao Ji, today is not as simple as just inviting me over for lunch, is it?"
"I just asked Marquis Powell to discuss a business with you today." Qiao Ji said with his hands folded on the table.
"Marquis Qiao Ji, please speak." Marquis Powell frowned.
"I want to buy food with you." Qiao Ji smiled slightly.
The Marquis Powell family is in the grain business and is one of the largest grain sellers in the imperial capital.
It is worth mentioning that he does not belong to any faction, which is why Qiao Ji invited him to the courtyard for dinner.
These intelligence fog courts have investigated in advance. When Qiao Ji saw Marquis Powell, he also checked his character panel, and there was not much discrepancy with the intelligence.
"How much grain does Marquis Qiao Ji need to buy?" Marquis Powell asked with narrowed eyes.
He felt that things were not that simple. If he wanted to buy food, he could buy it directly from the chamber of commerce. There was no need to specially invite himself to eat in the courtyard.
"I need to buy 10 million catties of grain, and it's still 10 million catties a month." Qiao Ji stretched out his index finger and said.
…… Ask for flowers…………
Ten million catties of grain is enough to feed 200,000 people for a month. With these grains as a base, it will be easier to carry out governance work in Beigang.
"Ten million catties of grain every month?" Marquis Powell wondered if he heard it wrong?
Ten million catties of grain is considered a huge order, "He wondered if Qi Ji had so many knights to support?
"That's right, I want you to transport this ten million catties of grain to Beigang." Qiao Ji raised his head slightly and said.
The Marquis of Powell has a large piece of land in South Garden, and the grain of the imperial capital is transported from there.
South Garden is very close to Beigang, and it can be reached in five days by water. Although the distance between the two is very close, the environment is quite different.
Beigang is notoriously desolate, while South Garden is relatively richer, and it is an excellent place to grow food.
This is also the reason why the Powell Marquis family has developed well. In this era, as long as they have food, they have a certain right to speak.
"Does Marquis Qiao Ji want to return to the territory?" Marquis Powell raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I haven't been to the territory yet, I want to go there for a while, so how does the Marquis of Powell think of this business?" Qiao Ji asked while holding a glass of warm wine.
Marquis Powell pursed his lips slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, the wheat we sell in the imperial capital is five copper coins for two catties, and Marquis Qiao Ji wants more. How about I charge you four copper coins and two catties of wheat?"
He was a little surprised by Qiao Ji's courage, and thought that it was a long-term business anyway, and since it was shipped from South Park, the selling price could be slightly cheaper.
"Okay, let's sign the contract." Qiao Ji replied heartily.
He must have investigated the market price of wheat, and accepted the price proposed by Marquis Powell.
"Okay." Marquis Powell also smiled.
He felt that the young man in front of him was very good. Whether it was his property or his ostentation, he could be regarded as a leader in the imperial capital, and he was also very courageous in his dealings with others.
Marquis Powell began to think that it would be good for his daughter to marry such a person.
