Chapter 32 The Guild Hall
"Autumn tigers are rampant, why do these noble people move here?"
After reading all morning, before Jia Qiang had eaten at noon, he heard Liu Da Niu calling him, saying that some of his noble friends had come to visit him.
Jia Qiang came to the door and saw Feng Ziying, Xue Pan, Jia Baoyu and Jiang Yuhan arriving with gifts.
It's a pity that I didn't use a car to bring the big gift this time...
Welcoming the four people to the backyard and walking on the corridor, Xue Pan looked at the yard and grinned: "It's much better than the shabby place before."
Feng Ziying smiled and said: "Nowadays, barbecue businesses are all over the West City. Brother Qiang, you are already considered frugal by living here."
Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Brother Feng is joking. Now the barbecue business has been transferred to the Jinsha Gang. I only make some money for ingredients... please come in."
The group of people passed through the bamboo curtain, and as soon as they entered the door, the four of them were shocked.
Feng Ziying put her hands on her hands and smiled and said: "It's incredible. They said they only make some money for ingredients, but they have already used this ice mirror. Even our general's office is reluctant to use it!"
Jia Baoyu and Qi Guan Jiang Yuhan just laughed, while Xue Pan yelled: "Bring the watermelon and the wine on ice, it's so hot in this damn day! I'll also serve twenty skewers of barbecue. Oops, I won't leave today."
Live here!”
Feng Ziying said amusedly: "Your home is also short of ice?"
Xue Pan said with a helpless look: "My mother won't let me use it, saying that I'm weak inside and have caught a cold or typhoid fever."
Looking at Xue Pan, who was showing his teeth and claws like a crab, he was said to be guilty, and everyone laughed.
After Jia Qiang invited the four of them to sit down, Liu Da Niu presented them with iced watermelon and herbal tea soon after.
Jia Baoyu and Jiang Yuhan were polite, but Xue Pan and Feng Ziying felt more at ease and started eating.
After a feast, everyone finally took a breath.
Xue Pan leaned back on the chair in an indistinct manner and groaned: "Comfortable!"
Jiang Yuhan curiously asked Jia Qiang: "Second Master Qiang, after a summer, there is not much ice in the big houses in Beijing. You can't even buy a piece of ice worth five taels of silver in the ice room. You can open it here."
use?"
Before Jia Qiang could speak, Feng Ziying laughed and said, "Didn't I say last time that Brother Qiang can make ice using ancient recipes?"
When Jiang Yuhan heard this, she covered her mouth and smiled softly: "If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that you hold a golden mountain in your hand?"
Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "I can only get a small amount each time for my own use, and it is difficult to make large quantities for sale."
The point is, selling ice cubes for takeout right now is really not worth it.
With his current status, he cannot keep this cornucopia...
After a pause, Jia Qiang changed the subject and asked with a smile: "Why did we get together today?"
Xue Pan answered quickly: "Didn't I say that I would rent you a shop to help you make a living doing barbecue? Why is there no movement, and I don't see you coming to get the deed?"
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "I'll transfer this business to the Jinsha Gang. I'll just collect some money later, as long as it's enough."
If you don't know how much profit Jia Qiang can make, who can not admire him for looking down on the beauty of yellow and white things?
Needless to say, Feng Ziying seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Jia Baoyu, who didn't know the inside story, instantly changed his mind and felt that Jia Qiang was not a common person after all, but could still be close to her...
Jiang Yuhan just stared at Jia Qiang with her peach blossom eyes. Only Xue Pan slapped his thigh in annoyance and said: "How can there be any reason to push the God of Wealth away?"
Jia Qiang said with a smile: "Brother Xue has never been like an ordinary business person. He values righteousness over profit. He is quite generous. Why do you worship the God of Wealth today?"
Xue Pan said "Hi", shook his head and sighed bitterly: "Brother Qiang, how do you know my suffering? A great man like me, who treats gold and silver like shit, now has to support his ancestral business!"
Hearing what he said was vulgar, Baoyu and Qiguan even shouted "Damn it", but Feng Ziying smiled and said: "Since Wenlong has this intention, why not cooperate with Brother Qiang?" Then he said to Jia Qiang: "Let's talk about it, Wenlong
It is more reliable than Jinsha Gang. Moreover, Jinsha Gang only sells it at the entrances of gambling houses and brothels on the streets. Who among ordinary children from aristocratic families would eat from his family? If you build a restaurant together, you will definitely make a lot of money every day."
Xue Pan was honest and said cheerfully: "Didn't you also say you wanted to open a shop? We might as well do it together! You have a wide network, so you don't have to worry about business failure!"
Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "It's obviously Brother Qiang's thing, but you arranged it."
But Jia Qiang waved her hand and said: "Brother Feng is right. Cooperating with the Sands Gang is not as good as cooperating with you. However, if we cooperate, we don't have to do it just for money. It is too cliché and will be looked down upon by other children of the aristocratic families.
"
Jiang Yuhan smiled and said: "Opening a store is not for money, then why?"
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "It would be nice if I could make some like-minded friends who we can talk to."
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately attracted the attention of four people.
Feng Ziying's eyes lit up and she asked: "Brother Qiang, please tell me in detail what should I do?"
Jia Qiang smiled and said: "This question is not what I thought of, because I saw that merchants from other provinces and places have many guild halls in the capital. It not only facilitates them to travel around the capital, but also helps the children of the countryside during the imperial examinations held every three years.
.I thought, if I could build a guild hall, it would not be open to the public, but only to those who adhere to it.
There are guild halls that are open to card holders. Card holders can join the guild without paying gold and silver. They need to invite a few of us to join. It is best if they all have special skills. For example, they can recognize antiques, be good at literature and martial arts, and have pottery.
Zhu Zhineng, maybe someone like Qi Guan, who has the talents of everyone."
Qiguan Jiang Yuhan heard this and said excitedly: "Even I can be considered a talented person?"
Jia Qiang chuckled softly and said: "Who in the capital knows about your talent? Talent in opera is talent, so how can talent be distinguished?"
Feng Ziying's face became more serious, she looked at Jia Qiang and asked: "Brother Qiang wants to form a society?"
Jia Qiang hurriedly waved her hands and said with a smile: "What kind of club should I join? Firstly, I can't show up, and I can't show up. Secondly, after all, the club is just a place to relax and have fun by eating wine and having skewers. You can come whenever you want.
, you can leave whenever you want. There is no big brother taking the lead, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.
I just want to make friends with some interesting people who are not frivolous. As the saying goes, when you meet a close friend, a thousand glasses of wine is too little, and a half-sentence of conversation is too much. Therefore, this club is just a gathering of some friends who can talk to each other, and they are busy with business.
After that, I just come here to eat, drink, have fun, and have a good time."
Feng Ziying felt relieved after hearing this.
Jia Baoyu was the first to be happy when he heard these remarks. He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "If that's the case, I'll raise one person first and make sure you all like it."
Feng Ziying smiled and said: "Which expert does Baoyu recommend?"
Jia Baoyu smiled and said: "Liu Xianglian, how is this person?"
Feng Ziying laughed and said: "I wonder who he is, it turns out he is a cold-faced man."
Jiang Yuhan also nodded and said with a smile: "Leng Langjun is an excellent person. If he hadn't just been in the theater and not really engaged in the pear garden business, his reputation might not be inferior to mine."
Feng Ziying said: "How about I recommend two people to join the association, Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan?"
Jia Baoyu and Jiang Yuhan nodded again and praised: "Young Master Sun, King of Ju, is an outstanding example of talent."
Xue Pan was unhappy and said loudly: "You recommend one person each. If that doesn't work, I will recommend one too!"
Everyone quickly asked him to name him, and Xue Pan's eyes rolled around anxiously. He also knew that people who were usually noisy were rude, and it was just embarrassing to say it, making people mistakenly think that he didn't have any decent friends. His forehead was sweating thinking about it, and he suddenly
He clapped his hands and said, "Yes, how about my uncle's Wang Yi?"
As soon as these words came out, Feng Ziying and Jia Baoyu looked at each other, laughed, and said together: "Change one, change one."
Jia Qiang is also smiling but not smiling. Wang Yi is the eldest son of Wang Ziteng, the head of the Wang family of the four major families of King Jia Shi Wang Xue. There are seven direct sons of the Wang family in his generation, and they are named after loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust.
The three elders of Zhong Xiaoren and Wang Yi are in Jinling. Wang Yi is the eldest son of Prince Teng, the eldest grandson of the Wang family in the capital. Prince Teng now holds great power, and Wang Yi is inevitably filled with arrogance.
Not easy to deal with...
Hearing that Wang Yidu was rejected, Xue Pan immediately became anxious and said: "Is this person a waste? He will not be in your eyes."
Feng Ziying hurriedly advised: "Wang Yi is certainly not a waste, but... can you and him be stubborn enough to be together?"
Xue Pan paused when he heard the words, laughed twice, and said: "Actually, I'm not talking about Wang Yi, but Shi Qi. Shi Qi's head office, right? He is not as annoying as Wang Yi's big-tailed wolf."
Feng Ziying smiled bitterly and said: "Although Shi Qi is a descendant of the Shi family, Marquis Zhongjing can be regarded as a hero of Yuanping. They are stubborn and are not in the same circle. They are used to tossing in the army."
Xue Pan heard this and said angrily: "It won't work this way or that way. Why don't I recommend Hua Jieyu from Fengle Tower? Can it work?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Not to mention the other three people looking at each other with surprise, even Jia Qiang asked curiously: "Brother Xue, does he recognize Hua Jieyu from Fengle Tower?"
In the memory of her predecessor, Jia Qiang learned that this woman was the head of the 40,000 prostitutes in the capital.
If she is not a world-famous celebrity, if she is not named in the Golden List, if she is not the body of the Three Cauldrons, if she is not the legitimate son of a prince, prince, or the prime minister's beloved son, ordinary princes and grandchildren are not even qualified to see her.
Duan was named Master Li in the Song Dynasty!
The person who can see her, Xue Pan, is obviously not among them...
The four major families of Jia Shi and King Xue are indeed quite powerful, but after all, they are no longer as powerful as they used to be.
Can Xue Pan introduce Hua Jieyu to the guild hall that has not yet been built?
What kind of joke are you kidding?
But looking at Xue Pan, who was so proud that he was about to fly into the sky after his blockbuster success, his appearance did not seem to be fake...
