Chapter 19 Business Conspiracy [2]

Chapter 19 Business Plan [Zhong]

As they walked, the two had passed Panlou Street and arrived at the Second Tianshui Lane. Although the Second Tianshui Lane has the word "alley", the terrain has nothing to do with the alley. It is a very prosperous street.

Although it is not as luxurious and prosperous as Panlou Street, the second Tianshui Lane is located in a good geographical location. The southern end is the Bian River, and more than 80% of the goods and specialties in the south are sent to Bianliang City through the Bian River. The most prosperous Bianliang City is naturally Panlou and Bai'anlou. The northern end of the second Tianshui Lane is Panlou Street.

This terrain makes there are several docks at the southern end of the Second Tianshui Lane. After the goods arrive at the dock, they pass through the Second Tianshui Lane to the Panlou Street area. Therefore, there are a lot of peddlers in this area. A large number of uninformed foot shops are located in this area, but there are also high-end, and the more famous Gaoyang official shop is built on the west side of the north section of the Second Tianshui Lane. You don’t need to prick up your ears when you pass there. You can hear the sound of silk and bamboo all the time. It is noble and luxurious.

When they arrived at the middle section of the Second Tianshui Lane, Zhao Yuan found a relatively large foot shop and prepared to walk in.

Cao Feiliang was shocked and quickly reached out to grab Zhao Qian's reins and said, "Little Prince, how can you get along with the peddlers with such an identity? If you know the literati of the Censorate, you must sue for your crime! Going back is the Gaoyang store, why save those steps?"

"Hmph! I..." After speaking halfway, Zhao Qin woke up and couldn't reveal his identity. He quickly changed his words: "I just went to this shop to take a look. Besides, how could they know if you don't say it? Could it be that they also came to these places?"

Zhao Qin was not afraid at all. It was not only because he was brave, but also because Liu E had just punished Zhao Qin and now he was punished again, which was unreasonable.

This is like playing football. After getting a yellow card, the referee will generally be more relaxed to that player. And don’t forget that Zhao Chen has the identity of a posthumous son. A posthumous son is always easy to win sympathy from others, and Liu E dare not take action too seriously.

Zhao E is now like a tragic player who has received a yellow card. Liu E won’t make things difficult for Zhao E because of these trivial matters. Otherwise, Zhao E would have a hard time, but Liu E would also have some rumors. For Liu E, who is so delicate and expensive, this is a big deal.

Seeing that Cao Feiliang could not speak out for refuting, Zhao Bi snatched the reins of the horse and continued to head towards the foot shop.

Cao Feiliang stomped his feet helplessly on the horse's back and quickly rode his horse to follow.

"Hello, two guests! Please come inside!" When he saw Zhao Feng and his wife riding horses, the waiter who was standing near the door immediately smiled. It is well known that the lack of horses in the Song Dynasty was, so there was a horse in the Song Dynasty. No matter what kind of horse it was, as long as it was a horse, the man's net worth would definitely not be less! Such a guest would have to go there if he ordered wine and food! It was all money!

Cao Feiliang took out ten eight copper coins from his arms, threw them to the waiter, and said lightly: "Pull it back and serve it well!"

The waiter's professional smile immediately became a little more sincere. He nodded and took it, and reached out to take the reins.

Although it is a foot shop, the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs. After entering the shop, another waiter came up and asked with a smile: "Customer, do you know if you want to eat in the lobby or go to the private room?"

"Bao..." Cao Feiliang originally wanted to talk about the private room, but before he finished speaking, he had been interrupted by Zhao Chen.

"Just in the lobby, find a window-by-window!" Zhao Qian said lightly.

The waiter looked at Zhao Chen with a strange look, wondering that Zhao Chen and the others looked like people who were dressed in bitter clothes. Why did they have to eat in the lobby?

Although I was confused, the quality of the waiters in this era is not much worse than that in modern times. Because these waiters were born in poor families and were sent to restaurants as apprentices since childhood. Working here is no longer a job, but their lives. If they lose this job, they lose everything because even if they return to their parents, their parents are not able to support them.

The waiter smiled and took Zhao Feng and the others to a dining table by the window. Before Zhao Feng and others could sit down, the waiter had already taken off the white rag hanging on his shoulders and quickly wiped the Eight Immortals Table. The waiter then made a gesture of invitation with a smile and said, "Sit down slowly, don't know what to eat?"

Zhao Jin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Your waiter service is also good, reward!"

Cao Feiliang took out a string of red ropes from his arms, not more than ten pieces of copper coins! But this is already a smile. No matter how much silver you give in the TV series, the purchasing power of copper coins is actually very amazing. As for Tokyo Bianliang, a dou of rice is only about thirty cents, and a dou of rice weighs nine or five song jin. This ten cent is enough to buy three jin of rice with slightly worse quality. Especially in ancient times when productivity was low, this money is almost equivalent to about one hundred yuan now.

The waiter's smile immediately looked like a blooming flower, and he became even more eager for Zhao and Chen.

However, soon the smile on the waiter's face became a little stiff. Zhao Qian did not order food, but started chatting with Cao Feiliang from all over the world. Faced with the waiter's urging, Zhao Qian looked for excuses to rush over it.

If it weren't for the reward, the waiter would be afraid that Zhao Jin and the others would just come in to find a place to chat.

After a quarter of an hour, Zhao Qin stopped talking to Cao Feiliang and slightly said to Cao Feiliang. Cao Feiliang understood that the little prince was asking him to order food.

After ordering, Zhao Qin slowly drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat and asked, "What's your name in the store?"

Although he was left alone by Zhao Jin for a quarter of an hour, the waiter also received a reward from Zhao Jin, and he did not dare to make things difficult for Zhao Jin. The waiter readily revealed some unimportant news. "The shopkeeper is from the country, and it is said that his ancestors are from Zhuozhou, Hebei. Could it be that the guest officials and the shopkeeper know each other?"

The surname of Guo refers to the surname Zhao. Zhao Chen nodded and said, "Can you be in the store?"

A look of surprise flashed across the waiter's face, and then he replied: "Here, I wonder what the customer is doing when he finds the shopkeeper?"

Zhao Qian thought for a while and said, "You go and invite the store."

The waiter asked hesitantly, "I don't know what's wrong? The shopkeeper asked, so I can answer one or two."

Zhao Qin refuted: "I came from the Zhao family in Zhuozhou. I happened to meet the shop owner with the same surname and hometown. I don't know if it's the same clan, but I just want to make friends!"

As if he was relieved, the waiter smiled again on his face and responded.

After the waiter left, Cao Feiliang asked in confusion: "Little..."

"Hmm?" Zhao Qian glared at him in dissatisfaction.
