Chapter 384 Going out to sea

With the foundation laid by Lu He last night, the cooperation negotiation went smoothly and both parties were very satisfied.

"As long as your supply is stable and the quality is high, Jiang Ji can sign a long-term cooperation contract with you."

At this point, Jiang Shu paused, looked around and said, "I only have one condition, this year's goods, the price cannot be increased."

President Su and the grain merchants looked at each other, hesitated for a moment and nodded.

There is only one month left this year, so even if there is a loss, it will not be a big loss.

"Okay, you are all straightforward people, and I can't be vague. After the banquet, I will sign a contract with you."

The wine and food were served, Jiang Shu picked up the wine glass, smiled and reached a cooperation with them.

Jiang Shu was so dazzling and different from her other looks. She was not afraid of a group of business seniors, and was confident and calm as if she was born to be the master of business.

Yu Zheng looked at Jiang Shu's appearance at this moment, and his heart could not help but tremble.

And President Lu Mingke Su and others' admiration and respect for Jiang Shu increased unknowingly.

The negotiation was pleasant, and everyone's tense body and mind gradually relaxed, and they discussed the way of doing business with Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu responded with a smile, and inquired about the business situation of He'an.

Perhaps because of Jiang Shu's men's clothing, or perhaps because of admiration and curiosity, President Su and others forgot Jiang Shujing's identity as Princess Jing, and treated her as an ordinary business friend, and talked to her warmly.

Yu Zheng and Lu Mingke could not get a word in, so they could only drink and eat in silence.

Everyone was talking, and Jiang Shu was busy responding, so he had almost no time to eat. With

his eyebrows slightly wrinkled, Yu Zheng suddenly raised his glass and said, "This time, everyone has helped me in a righteous way. On behalf of the court, I would like to thank you all."

President Su and others were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly raised their glasses to return the greeting.

"Your Majesty, your words are serious. It's our duty."

After drinking, Yu Zheng picked up some food for Jiang Shu and whispered, "The food is getting cold, eat quickly."

Everyone realized that they had delayed Jiang Shu's meal. They didn't dare to say anything more and buried their heads in eating.

After eating and drinking, Lu Mingke asked the waiter to clear the bowls and plates and bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Jiang Shu and others to sign the contract.

After signing and stamping the contracts one by one, Jiang Shu discussed with them the quantity and time of purchasing the first batch of food.

After a busy day, it was already past noon. The rain outside stopped at some point and the sky was bright.

Walking out of Wangyue Tower, Jiang Shu looked at the bustling streets and said, "Husband, let's go shopping in He'an City."

"Yes." Yu Zheng nodded.

Lu Mingke asked, "Where does the princess want to go? I'll lead the way."

Jiang Shu glanced at him and said, "I know Mr. Lu has something to do. Don't worry about us. We can just walk around by ourselves."

The matter of collecting food was urgent. Lu He was so busy today that he was nowhere to be seen. Lu Mingke must have a lot of things to do.

Seeing Jiang Shu's straightforward face, Lu Mingke didn't pretend to be polite. She left the carriage to them and walked away first.

He'an City is close to the sea, so there are many stalls on both sides of the street, all selling things from the sea.

Various shells, conchs, mixed with pearls, are made into exquisite and beautiful ornaments, decorations and even utensils, which dazzle the eyes of the people.

Jiang Shu walked and looked, with great interest, and bought anything he liked and let Zhuiyun Zhufeng take it.

When passing by a treasure pavilion, Jiang Shu pulled Yu Zheng in.

It was not easy to come to Pingyang, so I had to bring some gifts back to Yu Lan and the others.

Unlike the roadside stalls, the things in the treasure pavilion were much more exquisite and rare. Jiang Shu picked a lot, and Zhuiyun Zhufeng Lengxing couldn't take them all.

When he was about to leave, he saw a mutton-fat jade longevity lock. An idea came to Jiang Shu's mind, and he reached out to pick it up.

"Sir, you have good taste. This jade lock is made of top-grade mutton-fat jade, made by a master, and is flawless. Wearing it can not only keep you safe and healthy, but also ward off evil spirits..." The clerk introduced it with a smile on his face.

Jiang Shu looked at it carefully and asked, "Can you engrave words on it?"

"Yes, of course, sir, what do you want to engrave?" The clerk hurriedly agreed.

Jiang Shu walked to the counter and wrote four words on the paper the clerk had prepared. "

May you be healthy and well every year.

" Yu Zheng looked at the words Jiang Shu wrote and asked in confusion, "Who is this for?"

Jiang Shu said, "Mr. Lu's daughter."

Yesterday, Jiang Shu and Su Rou chatted for too long, and Lu Sui'an missed her mother, so the maid carried her to the viewing tower.

Lu Sui'an is half a year older than Yu Ziyu. She is pretty, cute, well-behaved, and Jiang Shu even held her for a while.

But Su Rou said that Lu Sui'an is weak and sickly.

So when Jiang Shu saw the longevity lock just now, he thought of Lu Sui'an.

First of all, it should be a meeting gift for the child, and secondly, Lu Mingke and Su Rou helped them a lot, so they should be thanked.

After giving the silver, Jiang Shu asked the waiter, "How long will it take to pick it up? I'm in a hurry."

The waiter said, "The day after tomorrow."

Jiang Shu was relieved to hear that.

The day after tomorrow, they were still in He'an City.

After coming out of the Treasure Pavilion, Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng strolled for a while and took a carriage back to Lu's house.

Lu He and Lu Mingke were busy until dark before they returned home. They went to the study to discuss matters without taking a breath.

After the important matters were discussed, Lu He said, "Leave all your work to your brother-in-law. You will accompany the prince and princess to visit He'an in the next two days."

Lu Mingke agreed and agreed with Lu He on the approximate places to visit.

The next day, the weather was clear and windless, suitable for sailing.

Lu Mingke consulted Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu, and accompanied Su Rou to the sea.

As the wife of Mr. Lu, Shen Qingrong should have accompanied them. But Mrs. Lu knew that Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng did not like her, and was afraid that she would cause trouble again, so she did not let her go.

Surprisingly, Shen Qingrong was very obedient and did not argue.

Mrs. Lu was very satisfied, thinking that Shen Qingrong had learned her lesson and had a clear understanding of the situation, which finally relieved her from worry.

The sea area was outside He'an City, and it took half an hour to get there by carriage.

On the way to the seaside, Jiang Shu couldn't contain his excitement, and from time to time he opened the curtain and looked out.

After about three quarters of an hour, Jiang Shu saw the outline of the sea in the distance. After another quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped and Jiang Shu saw the sea clearly.

Looking ahead, the first thing that caught his eye was a shallow golden beach, with waves of white waves gently caressing it.

Looking further away, there was the azure blue sea, boundless and seemingly intersecting with the sky.

It was so beautiful.

Jiang Shu stared at it with his eyes wide open, and his almond-shaped eyes were shining with a bright light.

Turning his eyes, Jiang Shu saw many women and children digging in the sand on the beach to the right. He asked curiously, "What are they digging?"

Su Rou looked at them from a distance and said, "Sand clams."

"A kind of clam that tastes very delicious. I'll ask someone to buy some and cook it for the princess to taste at noon."

Jiang Shu frowned and said, "Is it fishy? I don't like fishy smells."

Su Rou smiled and said, "Don't worry, princess. Your husband has hired the best chef in He'an City. He will definitely make it without any fishy smell."

The guest follows the host's wishes. Jiang Shu nodded doubtfully.

Su Rou ordered the servants to go to the beach and buy a bag of freshly dug sand clams from the fishermen.

Jiang Shu looked at it curiously.

Su Rou told her: "Sand clams contain sand and cannot be eaten directly. You have to let them spit out the sand first."

Jiang Shu listened carefully. Su Rou took her hand and boarded the cruise ship arranged by the Lu family and sailed into the blue sea.
