Mu Ge couldn't possibly take out so many packs of cigarettes from his pocket at once. It would be too inappropriate if he took out dozens of packs of cigarettes from his pocket at once. How could his pocket hold so many?
"I only brought these few bags with me, I didn't bring anything else. Everyone, wait a moment, I'll go back and get it.”
Mu Ge bid farewell to everyone and immediately left the manor to ride his horse back to the inn. He pretended to return to the inn and took out dozens of packs of cigarettes from his personal warehouse. He packed them in a cloth bag and brought them back to the Xun Manor.
As for why Mu Ge ran back to the inn, it was because he was afraid of being followed. If someone found out that he had so much smoke after walking around, wouldn't that arouse suspicion?
"Young Master Liu, here are your 20 packets."
Young Master Li, here are your ten packets."
"Brother Meng De, here are your 20 packets."
"Brother Benchu, yours."
Mu Ge returned to Xun Manor and started distributing cigarettes. Everyone kept their word and took out their money. Soon, the cigarettes were gone, but Mu Ge had a pile of gold in his hands. He counted it and found a total of thirty-two taels!
A huge sum of money! Mu Ge had never seen so much gold before. When had he ever touched so much gold except in television dramas?
Everyone had also received a large pile of cigarettes. Although they were a little heartbroken about the money, with cigarettes in their hands, they could let it go. Later, they would show off in front of their other friends!
"Ziyu, when will you be able to refine the next batch of cigarettes?”Cao Cao was currently the most obsessed with these cigarettes. He was afraid that he would not be able to smoke after smoking these 20 packs.
"That's right, Ziyu, you should speed up your refining. I believe that your cigarettes will definitely become popular throughout Luoyang City. If you refine them in large quantities, they will definitely sold well!”Yuan Shao said as he danced with joy.
In fact, when they were young, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao weren't that cunning. They were also very loyal to the Han Dynasty and were good friends.
Mu Ge kept the money and took a sip of tea.""The next batch will take about a month.”
It wasn't that Mu Ge didn't want to make money, but he still had no foundation and no ability to protect himself. If he said that he could refine a lot every day, it would inevitably make people jealous. If they captured him or robbed him, he would lose both money and life.
That was why Mu Ge said that it would take a month. He also wanted to use this month to quickly develop himself and find an official position. That way, he would not be afraid of being targeted by so many people even if he sold cigarettes in the future.
"One month, then I have to smoke sparingly. If one pack a day is not enough, it seems that I have to reduce the amount.”Yuan Shao began to save money for himself.
The party continued, but smoke kept coming out of the pavilion. Everyone smoked one cigarette after another, feeling that this new position of chatting while smoking was especially comfortable.
"Wen Ruo, in two days, it will be Lord Cai Yong's birthday. Lord Cai Yong invited all of Luoyang's civil officials to a banquet. I heard that Lord Lu Zhi and Lord Yang Biao will be here personally.”A slightly plump young man said. Mu Ge did not remember his name, but he knew that he was the son of a provincial governor.
Another young man chimed in," Yes, I heard that Lord Cai Yong has a daughter named Cai Yan. She is beautiful and talented. If we can please Lord Cai Yong, we might even be able to get married. Wouldn't that be a great thing in life?!"”
The people below all laughed and agreed, especially Boss Cao and Yuan Shao. They nodded their heads like they were pounding garlic. Cai Yan and the others had also heard that she was as beautiful as a fairy. They even dreamed of seeing her.
Xun Yu smiled lightly and said,""Us youngsters are only going to the cultural gathering to listen to Sir Cai Yong's knowledge and military strategy. If I can be guided by Sir Cai Yong, it would be my honor.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Mu Ge looked at Xun Yu, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him. He thought, How can such a matchless strategist be given to Boss Cao? I must rope him in!
"Brother Ziyu, Brother Ziyu!"
Mu Ge, who was deep in thought, heard Xun Yu's call and came back to his senses. He cupped his fists apologetically and said,""Sorry, sorry, I was distracted just now.”
"Haha, Ziyu, are you thinking about how to spend the money you earned?”Yuan Shao laughed, and the others also laughed.
Xun Yu didn't laugh but said to Mu Ge,""Brother Ziyu, in two days, it will be Lord Cai Yong's birthday. At that time, the Cai family will hold a banquet, are you willing to go?”
"I, Mu Ge, am just a commoner. How would I dare to associate myself with those Venerables?”Mu Ge didn't expect Xun Yu to invite him to Cai Yong's birthday.
However, after thinking about it, he rejected it. Right now, he didn't have any background, so how could he have the qualifications to go to that kind of place? Although the Cai Residence had Cai Yan, this peerless beauty, attracting him, but to achieve great things, he had to endure the torment.
Xun Yu smiled and said," Brother Ziyu, don't worry. You only need an invitation to go to the Cai Mansion. I happen to have two here. One is mine, and the other is my nephew Xun You's. However, Gongda has been ill recently and can't go. I'll give this invitation to you."”
"This is too valuable. How could Mu Ge dare to accept it?”Mu Ge's heart was rekindled with hope. It would be best if they could go. Even if they went there to recommend cigarettes, it would be fine.
"You taught me how to smoke, so I should return the favor.”Xun Yu said.
"Alright, this one thanks Brother Wen Ruo first. Ziyu will remember this great gift.”Mu Ge said solemnly.
After the gathering ended, everyone bid farewell to Xun Yu and left the Xun Residence. Mu Ge was about to leave as well, but Xun Yu stopped him.
"Brother Ziyu, how about you travel with me the day after tomorrow?”Xun Yu was thinking for Mu Ge. He was afraid that Mu Ge did not know etiquette, so he wanted him to leave with him.
"That's good, then I'll have to trouble Brother Wenruo to lead the way.”Mu Ge was grateful. Xun Yu was really a good person. It was only their first time meeting, but he was very enthusiastic towards him.
