Chapter 647: Invitation
Li Qianqian and his entourage went out of the restaurant and went to Tianbaofang, Tianbaofang in Shuilan City, unlike Jinyifang, there are two houses, it has only one, it is located on the Vermilion Bird Street where the powerful and rich come and go, and the shops on the Vermilion Bird Street are mostly opened by the powerful and rich, and Tianbaofang wants to settle here, but it is impossible to find a good location.
The two shops I found at the beginning, one in the middle of Suzaku Street, the asking price is nearly 10,000 yuan, covering a small area, only two floors, and there is a small courtyard at the back, but it is also narrow, which is probably enough for the people in the store to boil hot water and make tea on weekdays.
But the location is really good.
The other shop, at the end of Suzaku Street, occupies a large area, the store alone is three rooms wide, the small courtyard behind the store is not small, the small courtyard behind the front store is only a small house, for people to boil hot water, the backyard of this store, there are more than 20 wings, and there is a large kitchen, depending on this scale, the owner of the house probably wants to open a restaurant or teahouse, so he will build such a large kitchen.
The helmsman was a little undecided at that time, and later asked the four elders, who were actually impatient to take care of this matter, so they asked him, "How is the business of our Tianbaofang?"
"Good. ”
"In other words, even if the location of the store is not conspicuous, there are still customers who come to the door?"
"That's it. "The helmsman is very proud, he has gone to several Tianbaofang in other cities to see, and every Tianbaofang is like a cloud, and the river is endless! After he saw it, he was envious, and he hoped that there could be such a cornucopia in Shuilan City under his jurisdiction.
"So, you don't have to think about the high price at all, but you have to think about the fact that there are many customers, can the store accommodate it?"
Although he believed the words of the four elders very much, after the helmsman returned, he still thought twice before finally deciding to buy the latter.
After buying, when it was built, the horse-drawn carriages that transported materials back and forth were often distressed because the intersection of Qingyun Road was too narrow.
The helmsman sent a letter to ask the four elders what to do?
The four elders didn't know what to do, so they threw the question to Liu Er, Liu Er took it and asked Li Qianqian, after Li Qianqian knew, he asked people to bring the topographic map of Xindian, and after looking at it for a while, he explained to Liu Er, and sent a letter to the helmsman, and the wall at the intersection of Qingyun Road was reduced to nearly half the size, so that the intersection of Qingyun Road became wider, and the vehicles coming and going would no longer be difficult to pass because of the narrow intersection.
Therefore, Li Qianqian came here to see if the traffic between Zhuque Street and Qingyun Road had improved after the change.
The shopkeeper of Tianbaofang learned that the sect leader was coming, and hurriedly welcomed them to the private room on the third floor, and at the request of Li Qianqian, he chose the private room at the intersection of Qingyun Road.
After Li Qianqian entered the room, after taking a look at the furnishings of the private room, he walked directly to the window, and the shopkeeper wanted to come forward to tell her the location at first, after all, this private room has two walls and windows.
I don't want the sect leader to go directly to the window of the wall at the intersection of Qingyun Road, and the shopkeeper said in his heart, the sect leader is really powerful.
But I don't know the design of this private room, but Li Qianqian has changed it, and the furnishings inside are consistent with the design drawings, and the wall is very clear against Qingyun Road.
The shopkeeper walked next to Li Qianqian and said proudly, "Sect Master, you don't know, since we have been rebuilt, many people have said that we are righteous and convenient for everyone, and they have sacrificed the rights and interests of our store, and the guests who come to the door will always praise us a few words." ”
"Well, then you have to let the people under you deal with it, and don't get carried away. ”
"Yes. Be. Don't worry, Master, keep the little ones in mind. The shopkeeper got the order and responded solemnly.
Li Qianqian saw that the traffic of cars and horses was indeed smooth, so he no longer paid attention, and walked to the window on the side of Linzhuque Street, and saw that the shops on the opposite side were also under construction.
"That's ......"
"There is our example in front, although the shop opposite does not want to follow the learning, but there is still no way, many customers because they do not shrink the wall inward, saying that they are unjust, so that their business plummets, you don't know, this is the end of the street, and because of the narrow intersection of Qingyun Road, the guests do not like to come, because of the impact of this matter, their business, almost can't do it. ”
What the shopkeeper didn't say was that the shopkeeper of the opposite door had also brought thugs to the door, asking them to retreat the wall outward, how could they do it, and when they saw that the other party brought thugs to the door, they were not easy to bully, and the helmsman received the news and immediately brought people over.
The two sides didn't even fight, and the other party saw that there were many of them, so they touched their noses and said a few words before leaving.
Later, they also shrank the wall inward, making room for the intersection of Qingyun Road to be widened.
Li Qian shook his head with a smile, turned around and returned to the table, Lan Tang and the others had already looked at the sample drawings and discussed.
After the shopkeeper retired and left, Lan Tang bit his ears with Li Qianqian, "I remember that you looked at the topographic map that day, and said that the original owner of the house who built this store was not kind?"
"Well, because when he was building, he quietly moved his wall outward, some at a time, some at a time, because at the end of the street, no one paid attention, and when everyone felt that the car was not good to go out at the end of the street, and it was not easy to turn around, it was a foregone conclusion. It's just that everyone never thought that someone would do this kind of tricking. ”
Li Qianqian took the tea bowl, took a sip, and let the hot tea with the fragrance of tea go down the esophagus all the way down the stomach, and after the whole person was warm, she sighed and said, "In fact, the shopkeeper is smart but is clever and mistaken, he only wants to expand his store, but forgets that the car dealership is inconvenient, which will make the guests not want to come to the door, the guests don't want to come to the door, the business is naturally not good, and in the end it can't continue, so I have to sell the shop." ”
Zhang Duoli nodded, "The shopkeeper thought he had taken advantage of a big loss because of a small loss, but he even lost the entire shop."
While talking, the shopkeeper brought someone to send the jewelry they had just picked over, "Sect Master, the restaurant just sent someone over, saying that your friend is waiting for you in the restaurant, and asking if you want to go?"
"Someone is leaving?"
"No, I'm waiting outside. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to speak clearly, or that the sect leader had something to ask, so he didn't dare to let the people sent by the restaurant go back.
"Let him in, I have something to ask him. ”
The shopkeeper was busy letting people in, the person who came was a teenager, about 16 years old, and saw that the house was full of girls, his face turned red first, and the shopkeeper was happy when he saw it, and it turned out to be a thin face!
Li Qianqian didn't care, let him go to the front to reply, and asked her if her friend was alone or if there was a companion.
The young man stammered a little as soon as he spoke, "It's with the girl of the Jiang family, ah! It's not the Jiang family that cooperates with our restaurant, it's another Jiang family." ”
The young man said nonsense, but Li Qianqian understood, so he asked, "Aren't the Jiang Family Winery and the princess of Shuilan County the same family?"
"They are of the same race, but they are not from the same family. The Jiang shopkeeper of the Jiang family winery is from the Jiang family, and the princess's family is a side branch, but the family has been in decline for many years, and even the position of patriarch has been lost. ”
"I see. What is the opinion of the Jiang family's girl?"
The young man's face turned red again, and he asked the shopkeeper for help with some embarrassment, but the shopkeeper had to speak, "The Jiang family's reputation in Shuilan City has not been very good. He glanced at Li Qianqian meaningfully, and Li Qianqian knew how to pay attention to his jaw.
"Okay, you go back and tell the shopkeeper that I still have something to do here, and if they can wait, let them wait, and when I'm done, I'll go over, and if not, I'll make amends to them on my behalf." ”
The young man nodded in agreement, and before leaving, he turned back and asked, "If they want to wait, do they want to prepare a table for a banquet?"
"It's better to think about it, just do it, go ahead!"
After the boy left, the shopkeeper of Tianbaofang also retired, as for the Fumanyuan Restaurant, because there were many guests for the tasting, and when they saw the girls of the Jiang family appear, everyone talked endlessly.
Most of the guests in the restaurant are residents of Shuilan City, and they know everything about Jiang's family affairs.
Xiao Jiang's unmarried and pregnant matter, although she was hidden to death back then, but she was framed by someone, how could those people not spread the matter?
Otherwise, the Jiang family would not have sent her to Nancheng, and Mrs. Li would not have lowered his wife to a concubine on behalf of her son to make room for the little Jiang family, in order to save the lives of their mother and daughter?
The little Jiang family became the concubine of Prince Ping, and Ji Yao deeply recognized that his ancestors had returned to his ancestors, which is a good thing to say now, but for so many years, the Jiang family has been in Shuilan City, but they have all shrunk their tails.
As for why Jiang Mingting dared to be so bold, it was all spoiled by Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang.
Because the mother and daughter of the little Jiang family have become the family members of Prince Ping, the status of the Jiang family in Shuilan City is also different from the past, the king of Shuilan County does not look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, Prince Ping felt ashamed of Ji Yaoshen, let their mother and daughter suffer outside, so he wrote to ask the king of Shuilan County to take care of the Jiang family on his behalf.
Otherwise, the Jiang family has no one to be an official, let alone a rich man in the city, how can he hook up with the prince?
The king of Shuilan County didn't expect that he asked his son to help, and when he met the Jiang family, he helped him, and as a result, he killed his daughter-in-law Xiao.
Since Li Qianqian asked Jiang Mingting to send furniture to support her, the city has been speculating about the relationship between the Jiang family and Rui Yaojiao for many years, and seeing the girls of the Jiang family hugging a strange and beautiful girl into the Fumanyuan Restaurant, everyone's interest also came.
The drinkers will quickly help those outsiders enter the situation.
In the area of Shuilan City, there is also such a clan as the King of Shuilan County, and for these drinkers, the gossip of the powerful family is very attractive.
With the addition of alcohol, everyone is talking more and more, fortunately, the shopkeeper of the restaurant has invited Ji Yaoshen and them to go upstairs to the private room early, otherwise it would be strange for them to hear these discussions about their family's private affairs.
The young man was very fast, and he came back not long after, and told the shopkeeper Li Qianqian's explanation, and the shopkeeper listened to the young man's relay, patted him on the shoulder, "Good job, you go and rest, I'll go and talk to the distinguished guest." ”
Ji Yaoshen was in the private room, and heard her cousins say that Li Qianqian was not.
"Cousin! It's not that I want to say that this Li sect leader is too big, and she doesn't want to think about it, you are the daughter of Prince Ping! You are willing to associate with her, that is her blessing! Otherwise, she is a Jianghu person, and she can communicate with the clan. ”
This cousin, have you forgotten that Li Qianqian's father is a celebrity in front of the emperor? If you want to say who is talking to someone, it must be that you are slapping Li Qianqian! These maids and servants around her were all bought by Li Qianqian and given to her, and even the body deed was given to her, unlike her good mother-in-law, who gave people to her to call, but those people were yang and yin, and they could trap her in front of Li Qianqian.
"I said, we should go directly to the rudder to find her, I heard that the rudder of the Ruiyao Sect, that scenery is one of the best in our Shuilan City!
Don't worry, when I go, I will definitely remember and never inform you. Ji Yao slandered in her heart, living in the Jiang family these days, her skills in slandering people have become more and more profound, she thought that the Jiang family sisters would get along better than the girls of the Li family, but the result was very disappointing, they are not comparable at all!
The shopkeeper of the restaurant thought of the warm scene downstairs, and didn't want them to leave immediately, lest they hear the drunken words of the drinkers, so he said, "I'm really sorry! Ladies and gentlemen, our sect leader is busy and can't rush back immediately, but the sect leader has explained, let the little old man prepare a table of wine and food, and make amends to the girls.
The girls of the Jiang family turned their heads to look at Ji Yaoshen one after another, their eyes were full of envy and jealousy, that Li Qianqian must have looked at Ji Yaoshen's face, so he explained like this, hum! Obviously, Li Qianqian stammered Ji Yaoshen, but this dead girl didn't dare to admit that the old girl was shirking, hum! When they went back, they would sue the old lady.
When she is invited to divide the rudder, she must be asked to take them with her, and she will definitely not miss this opportunity to get close to the Li Sect Master.
The shopkeeper saw that the faces of the Jiang family girls were changing, and said in his heart, even if the Jiang family has a princess, the upbringing will not be any better! Look at these girls, you will know how the Jiang family's quality is!
Ji Yaoshen was already dissatisfied with her cousins relying on her and asking her to take them to Li Qianqian, she didn't want these cousins to know about the things in Prince Ping's Mansion, and she didn't want them to know that she came to Shuilan City because of Li Qianqian, so she could make the trip.
Of course, she is also afraid that Li Qianqian will be entangled by her cousins, what if she is dissatisfied with herself because of this?
Therefore, Li Qianqian did not show up for a long time, not only was she not angry, she felt that she looked down on herself as her cousins said, anyway, she was glad that she did not show up, and it was useless for her cousins to entangle her.
Ji Yaoshen said to the shopkeeper, "Let's order first, your restaurant's business is so good, if you order too late, I'm afraid it will be gone, right?"
"As soon as I heard it, I knew that Miss Ji, you are an insider. The number of good dishes in our restaurant is actually limited, it depends on the quality of the day's supply, and we don't want the goods that do not meet the standards. ”
The shopkeeper took Ji Yaoshen a hand, and by the way, let them know that the restaurant receives goods strictly, and the Jiang family girls don't often eat out, even when they go out to eat in the restaurant, they are all brought by the elders, and the elders are there, which round they get to order, so Ji Yaoshen really doesn't know about these things.
Ji Yaoshen was not dizzy by the shopkeeper's plattering, she actually didn't often go out to eat, even if she was traveling with her classmates and friends, someone was responsible for ordering, so she listened to the shopkeeper's explanation very attentively.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper smiled and asked them to order, and when they finished ordering and asked them to wait, he said goodbye and left, went out of the private room, and explained to the little guy outside the door, "Be smart, don't let people bump into the distinguished guests." ”
The servants nodded in agreement, and the shopkeeper looked around and saw that everything was in order, before turning around and leaving.
