"Xiaodong?"
Su Fu, who came out of Qin's silk shop, found that the child named Cao Xiaodong was still sitting by the wall. He couldn't help but feel surprised: "Why haven't you left yet?"
Cao Xiaodong stood up and said, "Oh, that's right. The boy forgot to ask Uncle Su if you still remember the way back. He was a little worried, so he just waited here."
Su Fu was very moved after hearing this. In addition, the conversation went very smoothly and he was happy, so he took out two cents and handed them to Cao Xiaodong, saying, "Please buy some food."
Cao Xiaodong waved his hand quickly and said, "Thank you, Uncle Su, but I can't ask for this money. If I take your money from Uncle, then I'm not helping others. The teacher knows that I will punish me."
"What a good boy."
Su Fu nodded with a smile.
Cao Xiaodong asked again: "Uncle, where are you going now? I can take you there. I am familiar with the capital."
Su Fu glanced at the sky and asked, "Do you know any better restaurants in Beijing?"
"Of course I know."
Cao Xiaodong said: "If you want to say that the best restaurant in the capital is the Jinyu Tower in Liangyuan. Many high-ranking officials and nobles in our capital go to Jinyu Tower to eat, and they are not far from here."
When Su Fu heard the nobles, he frowned and asked again: "What else?"
Cao Xiaodong said: "The second best is Chen Lou, who is also in Liangyuan. Those who go there for dinner are all wealthy businessmen."
"Just go to Chenlou."
Su Fu said decisively.
He is a foreign businessman who comes here to do business. He doesn't want to sit with high-ranking officials and nobles, and he can't even hide! Having said that, people are even more reluctant.
A trace of joy flashed in Cao Xiaodong's eyes, and he took Su Fu to Chenlou again.
When I arrived in front of Chenlou, I heard that there were crowds of people inside and there were some remarks about business.
“The business here is really good.”
Su Fu nodded, feeling that he had come to the right place.
Cao Xiaodong said: "Uncle Su, do you still need help later? I can wait for you here."
Su Fu was really embarrassed and hurriedly said, "No, no, thank you so much today." As he said, he said to the servant again, "Give him some food."
"I can't ask, I can't ask."
Cao Xiaodong retreated repeatedly and said, "If Uncle Su doesn't need help, I will say goodbye first."
He bowed in a good manner, and then jumped away.
Su Fu felt incredible and sighed: "It is worthy of being the capital of my Ming Dynasty, and it is indeed a brilliant person."
All I can say is that he is thinking too much.
After Su Fu entered, Cao Xiaodong suddenly ran to a small hut opposite him.
"You guy is really amazing, and you brought another guest here."
A middle-aged man in the room handed Cao Xiaodong a copper plate and said, "Go and press a handprint."
Cao Xiaodong took the copper plate and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He went to the table and pressed a handprint. This copper plate was an incentive bonus, and they could still get commissions based on these handprints.
Just as Cao Xiaodong was about to go out, he saw another child as old as him walking in.
"Xiaodong, why are you here again?"
The child said excitedly when he saw Cao Xiaodong.
Cao Xiaodong said, "You are not bad either!"
......
Chen Lou!
"Master, Master."
Chen Lou's shopkeeper came to the inner room excitedly and said to Chen Fangyuan: "Master, so far, our business has more than five days combined."
"Yeah?"
Chen Fangyuan stood up excitedly.
"I've already done it several times, it's not wrong." The shopkeeper was excited and said, "Master, I don't think we need to sell the store."
When Chen Fangyuan heard this, his expression seemed extremely lonely again and said, "The store is busy now, please go out and watch it."
The shopkeeper was stunned. Did he say the wrong thing?
He didn't know that the better the business, the more the store had to be sold.
After the shopkeeper left, Chen Fangyuan suddenly pounded the table in annoyance and said in anger: "That Kou Er is so confused and has such a good son-in-law, so he doesn't need to leave it alone. I would rather believe in a girl. If he is my son-in-law, why should I sell a store...ah... I'm so angry."
......
Lived!
Chenlou, which was still on sale a few days ago, suddenly survived, and there was no warning in advance. Many old customers of Jinyulou went to Chenlou to take a look. This was simply a miracle!
In just half a day, Chenlou immediately became the focus, and the streets and alleys were talking.
This undoubtedly added fire to Chenlou.
Because everyone was curious, they all went to Chenlou and had a meal by the way. The business became more and more prosperous. Because in this restaurant industry, once the business was relatively deserted, it would only get worse. Conversely, once it became popular, it would only get more and more popular. Customers would rather sit outside and queue up than go to the deserted restaurant for dinner.
"Looking at the flowers in the fog and the moon in the water, you can distinguish this unpredictable world. Take away the clouds and fly, and the flowers bloom and fade, and you can grasp this swaying and colorful season..."
In the afternoon, Guo Dan saw that it was almost the same, so he hummed a small song and went to find Cao Xiaodong to prepare to arrange the next stage of the task.
But halfway through, a guy with a sharp-headed mouse suddenly appeared in front of him, scaring him so much that he almost took out all the money he had on him. There was no way. This was a habit he developed in Great America. Whenever he encountered a robbery, his first reaction was to take out all the money and mobile phones and deliver them with both hands. He was so timid.
"Guo Tongsheng, my young master wants to invite you to come and talk."
"Your young master?"
Guo Dan was stunned.
"Oh, my young master is the eldest son of the Liu family."
Is it him?
Guo Dan's eyes flashed a few times, and she laughed secretly. It's okay, it's okay to make some extra money. She smiled and said, "So it's Brother Liu, where is he?"
"The wine shop is there, Mr. Guo, please come with me."
The guy who was pointed-headed and mouse-oriented took Guo Dan to a small winery next to an alley.
This place is nice, hidden enough, suitable for inquiries. Guo Dan smiled secretly and entered the wine shop. There was only Liu Chengbian in the whole wine shop.
When Liu Chengbian saw Guo Dan coming, he was very enthusiastic. He first invited Guo Dan to sit down, and then served a large table of delicious wine and food.
But Guo Dan didn't even look at it, and asked listlessly: "Brother Liu, what's the point of asking me for?"
"Is it necessary to ask you for your brother?"
Liu Chengbian said with a little blame.
"oh."
Guo Dan nodded.
Seeing that Guo Dan looked lonely and listless, Liu Chengbian asked, "Do you have any trouble?"
Guo Dan let out a sigh and smiled awkwardly.
Liu Chengbian immediately said: "If you have any troubles, you can tell me about it. If you are within your ability, you will be sure to do it."
"It's just...it's just a small matter, it's just a small matter."
Guo Dan said awkwardly.
Liu Chengbian pretended to be unhappy and said, "Is it because my brother doesn't recognize me as my brother."
"No, no, no."
Guo Dan waved his hand repeatedly, suddenly sighed, and said, "Actually, it's really a small matter, it's just... it's my inner son... No, my father-in-law has reduced my pocket money by half. He is short of money. When he comes to this teahouse and restaurant, he can't help but feel a little restrained when he sees the delicious food on the table."
Liu Chengbian was overjoyed when he heard this. This was really God helping me! He immediately said, "What else do I think of? It turns out that it's just a small matter. If my brother needs money, I can lend you."
You invite me and then lend me money. Brother, the usury is not as cruel as you. Guo Dan shook his head and said, "I have appreciated Brother Liu's kindness. My father-in-law tells me several times a year and never borrow money from others. If my father-in-law knows, he will definitely sweep me out of the house. I can't borrow it or borrow it."
How could there be such a foolish man in the world? Liu Chengbian shook his head secretly, but said, "It's all because of my brother's words and saying the wrong thing. This money is just something outside of your body, how can you fight against you and my brother?"
As he said that, he took ten taels of silver from his entourage and handed it to Guo Dan, saying, "You should take this for emergency first. If it is not enough, then ask me if it is."
“How can this work….”
Before Guo Dan could finish speaking, Liu Chengbian put the money in front of him, "Do you still treat me as a brother?"
Being a brother to me, I really don’t know how much money your family has. After repeated refusal, Guo Dan reluctantly accepted the ten taels of silver.
"Come on, drink and drink."
Liu Chengbian raised his glass and said.
This trick is used again? You are really not annoying! Guo Dan knows from his memory that if you want to mess with Guo Dan's previous news, drinking is the best and most effective way, but he raised his glass and greeted him: "Thank you, Brother Liu, for saving my money, I would like to pay my respects to Brother Liu."
"Done!"
After a cup,
Two cups.
Three cups.
Guo Dan soon became a little dizzy and spoke a little slow, and he was chatting in a mess.
Seeing that the timing was almost the same, Liu Chengbian spoke and tentatively: "My brother, I heard that your Kou family has been quite lively these two days."
"It's not just lively, it's so noisy. I just thought it was noisy today, so I came out to take a walk."
"Is that true? I guess that Chen Lou's deal has been completed."
"It seems that there is no."
"So many people come to the door, it should be done! Or is it that my brother doesn't know?"
"Hmph, it's really annoying when it comes to this."
"Why is this?"
"They usually always call me to run errands, talk to this and that, but this time, they don't let me know anything."
Liu Chengbian suddenly showed disappointment, but Guo Tan changed the subject, "But I live next to you, how can they hide it from me?"
Liu Chengbian was surprised again and said, "Is that true?"
Guo Tan showed a flat face and waved his hand, "Brother Liu, don't go to find them, I think they have no plans to sell them at all."
"How do you say this?" Liu Cheng changed his mind.
Guo Dan said: "Do you know, Zuixiao Tower is willing to pay 2,000 taels to buy Chenlou's kitchen, but Kou Yi said he should consider it. The price is already very high. Brother Liu, do you think so?"
"How can you explain the matter in this transaction clearly?" Liu Chengbian shook his head, his eyes flashed a few times, and then said, "All Kou Yi is talking about such a big transaction? Did your father-in-law not come forward?"
"No. It's all that guy Kou Yi is talking. He is just a servant and he still wants to ride on my head. It's really outrageous."
"Uncle Kou handled this matter indeed a bit unfair!"
Liu Chengbian nodded perfunctorily. It seemed that I was not wrong. All of this was a mystery. He said, "I heard that Chenlou's business is very prosperous today. I think it may be because of this that you are not selling it for a long time."
Guo Dan laughed a few times.
Liu Cheng changed his mind: "Why are you laughing?"
Guo Danyang said proudly: "Everyone said that Brother Liu, you are smarter than me and better than me, but this can deceive you, but you can't deceive me. Haha!"
Liu Chengbian hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
Guo Dan suddenly waved.
Liu Chengbian hurriedly came over.
Guo Dan held back his smile and whispered: "That day, I accidentally heard the inner son tell Chen Junwai that if he wanted to sell for a good price, he had to make Chen Lou's business better first, and he said that it was just 'spend some money'. Haha, I think-----."
Before he finished speaking, he lay down on the table.
"Brother, brother..."
After screaming a few times, Liu Chengbian saw that Guo Dan had no reaction, so he stood up and frowned: "Spend some money? What does this mean? Are they all guests invited for money? How much does it cost! What's going on?"
He was really anxious now because the matter changed too quickly and was too weird. He was still split and sold there. Chenlou's business suddenly became prosperous. There was no warning in advance. He really felt like he was watching the flowers in the fog. He was helpless and thought of starting from Guo Dan.
The servant beside him said, "Young Master, do you want to send him back?"
Liu Chengbian frowned and said, "Don't you know if you send him back?" After a pause, he said, "You are waiting here, I'll go back first."
Of course he would not waste time with Guo Dan here.
Shortly after Liu Chengbing left, Guo Dan "wake up" over, "Brother Liu, let's drink again, drink again, burp..."
The servant immediately said, "Guo Tongsheng, my young master has something to do, so he will go back first."
"Where are you going back?"
"Yes."
"It's really boring. I'm going to say I won't go home if I'm drunk." Guo Danhuang stood up and said, "Then... I'll go back too." He suddenly pointed to the wine and food on the table.
The servant looked at Guo Dan in confusion.
