The manpower called by the shopkeepers in the store is not specially trained by Hongchen and them, and it would be too wasteful to even use the service staff who opened a store from Shangshengmen or Guigu.

Luo Niang posted a notice, hired young men to work in the capital, and a few cleaning mothers-in-law, all of them are living deeds, signed every five years, and do not want them to become slaves, if there is another way to live in the future, you can ask to go.

Xiao Yan is still quite worried about this, after all, many things in the store are unique, I am afraid that they will steal the teacher, or Hongchen doesn't care too much, anyway, technical work such as ice-making is done by others at home, and it doesn't hurt if they want to learn the rest.

And doing business in the capital, to put it bluntly, you still have to look at the background, the background is bigger than Hongchen, if you really want to get a piece of the pie, Hongchen can't stand it, the background is not as good as Hongchen's, and you are stupid to use such crooked brains.

Luo Niang and Xiao Yan just wanted to buy an industry to make some money, and they didn't want to finish all the business in the world, to be a rich businessman or something, and it was enough to hire people at the moment.

Besides, in these days, there are not many people who do not pay attention to their credibility and betray the Lord.

As for the shopkeeper, he was also hired, surnamed Qi, who used to run a restaurant business in the capital, and then accidentally offended a powerful person, and the restaurant also fell, he also sat on the empty mountain, and the little money he accumulated was not enough to support the elderly, just when he wanted to find a big tree, he took off his belt and hanged himself, and happened to meet Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan asked carefully, and simply brought this guy to Luo Niang, and reviewed that the background was very clean and he had some talents. Let him be a serious shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper Qi, you will take care of it for a while, look at the little ones, and don't let them lose their share. Also, give them more food and cook more meat to eat. ”

After Luo Niang and the others finished explaining, they went up to accompany their young lady.

Shopkeeper Qi respectfully sent the master away, with a straight face, and said solemnly: "Our new store opens, we can't be sloppy, give me more energy." ”

A bunch of shopkeepers and small people responded in a miscellaneous manner. I also muttered a little in my heart - the master's family gave high salary. They all have a lot of wages, but what do they want to do to help themselves, and even let those ordinary people come in and eat casually, can they make money?

Many of the little guys have doubts.

Again. They heard that the origin of their shopkeeper is not simple. It should be a slave from a wealthy family. The problem is, it's not quite like that.

What descendant of a big family can be as approachable as a female shopkeeper?

In case not. Business in the capital is not easy to do, and they are afraid that they will have to be more careful when they work.

It is not easy to live in the capital, and it is even more difficult to do business.

The shopkeeper Qi also often repays the kindness, and makes up his mind to help the master's family take care of the business properly, and when necessary, bend down and bow his head, then he must also do it.

"Hey, I don't know if it opened on the first day...... Are there many people who come to cheer? ”

If there are too few people, it is unlucky.

Shopkeeper Qi thought about it, and felt that it was better to call his old guys to make up the numbers, although his business failed, but in the end, he had been mixed in the capital for a few years, and he still had connections.

"Lao Wang, that bastard now enjoys the blessings of his children and grandchildren. Xiaolinzi is not a small deal now, but he is a good person, and he should give face! ”

While pondering the matter, the shopkeeper Qi beckoned someone to hang up the signboard and tore off the linen cloth around the outside.

In winter, a few green branches probed out, attracting the surrounding people couldn't help but be amazed, and even pedestrians stopped.

It's just that everyone was very reserved for a while, so they didn't try to go in and see what this newly opened store really looked like.

For a while, the door of the store was quiet and quiet.

Shopkeeper Qi beat a drum in his heart, quietly called a small servant, and asked him to slip out of the back door with the letter he had prepared.

The old shopkeeper is forty-five this year, and he has been wandering all over the world since he was fifteen years old, and he opened a restaurant in the capital at the age of thirty, and he has lived on the streets ten years later.

After a while, three middle-aged men, carrying some congratulatory gifts in their hands, scurried to the door.

They also gave face to the shopkeeper Qi, and they didn't go in for a while, so they stood at the door and talked for a while, which seemed more popular.

The old Qi hurriedly led people out to greet them.

"Okay, I think it's a good mix, better than before."

Lao Wang is a dart game, mainly to the south, the current world is not peaceful, the dart game is risky, but you can earn a lot.

He has been friends with the shopkeeper Qi for more than ten years, and he is not an outsider, so he looked at the store from a distance at this time and gave a thumbs up: "Like that, I know that this is the shop of Widow Sun's house." ”

Xiao Lin frowned: "Widow Sun's shop is good, but how did I hear that she offended people, and there are bastards coming to make trouble all day long, Brother Qi, can your shopkeeper hold up the scene, don't overturn in the gutter." ”

Shopkeeper Qi smiled, not angry, and said in a low voice: "It shouldn't be in the way, our store has been open for more than a month a while, and there has been no big mess." ”

"Be careful, anyway."

"Okay, since you have decided to do it, our brothers can't do anything else, it's no problem to shout and shout for you, I'll find someone to find a dragon and lion dance team in a while, I want the best, it's good to be lively and lively at your door, it's too lonely and not good-looking......"

At this moment, a row of Imperial Guards riding tall horses suddenly came in the distance.

The shiny armor and the bright red cloak are heroic.

The shopkeepers around were taken aback, and the passers-by were also taken aback.

How noble the capital is, it is not uncommon for the Imperial Forest Army to be feathered and guarded, and besides, there are often Royal Forest Army patrols on this street.

But these in front of him are obviously unusual, at first glance, they are serious aristocratic sons, everyone has a fish charm hanging on their waists, and there are even people with gold edges inlaid on the fish charms, which is obviously not ordinary.

The people of the capital also have a very eye-catching, living in this place, they can't tell who can't be provoked, they have to make a good living, and they have to pay it back!

The leader is very tall, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a smile on his face, very gentle, not like a martial artist at all. As soon as he came, he strode to the door, went up the steps, hugged his fists and smiled: "Congratulations." ”

The shopkeeper Qi hurriedly returned the gift, but he was confused, and he took the gift list in a daze, and looked at the little general with a wave of his hand, and a group of royal forest soldiers carried four peony flower pots at the door, all of which were in full bloom.

It's winter!

A pot will cost at least seven or eight hundred taels of silver.

"Where is Miss Luo? I'll go say hello. ”

The little general was very kind, and he was polite to a few people at the door for a while before he whispered an explanation. Slowly enter the door and go upstairs.

Shopkeeper Qi opened his mouth. Before she could say anything, Luo Niang upstairs stood in front of the door and said with a smile: "Why is Young General Yu here?" Improper value today? ”

"Niangniang said that she got a few new pots of peonies, just to show your master the freshness, didn't your master just say that the peonies have been outrageously expensive in the past two years. She was a little reluctant to buy some new ones. ”

While talking. The little general ascended the stairs.

A moment's work. He and Luo Niang were gone.

Shopkeeper Qi: "......"

The three middle-aged men were stunned, and suddenly they all looked at the gift list and saw the densely written words on it. My head was dizzy, and I couldn't cry or laugh.

As for these gifts, most of them are very delicate and good things, just come to them, enough for an ordinary family to eat for a year.

Xiao Lin shook his head again and again: "Brother Qi is really unkind, just ask us to give you a cheer, and don't remind you in advance, look at the little gift we have prepared now, how can it be high-grade, not enough to be embarrassing." ”

Shopkeeper Qi blinked, and hurriedly smiled: "What to say, with our friendship, we still need these vain heads, I don't know your intentions!" I can't thank you enough when people come. ”

As he spoke, he opened the door and welcomed them in.

As soon as they entered the door, the three old brothers of the shopkeeper were just dizzy from the glass on the table, and when they turned around, they saw a row of dogs wearing small clothes and full of energy, holding a flower basket in their mouths, standing neatly and neatly.

Shopkeeper Qi's face turned red, and he beckoned from behind, and the guys took away the food bowl where they ate about the same.

"This, the shopkeeper's idea, is used to distribute leaflets."

A few people looked at the dogs neatly enough, walked to the door in a similar manner, arched the door, and walked out one by one.

Each one of them is a little bit 'extravagant'.

I watched as 'Hugh' crouched in front of a lady who called a slave servant, with her hind legs erect and her two paws folding.

It made the lady laugh.

Hugh Xiu selected a blooming jasmine flower from the flower basket and presented it, with a small piece of cardboard on it, and wrote the name of the shop of the two heavens, and the noble lady also accepted it, looked curiously, and really strolled over.

The shopkeeper Qi hurriedly went over to entertain him, and called the little servant to explain what was going on with his business.

These dogs are very popular, and many customers come in front and back.

It is estimated that they were originally curious, and most of them took this opportunity to take a look.

Fortunately, a group of small people had enough energy and could barely support it, so the shopkeeper Qi secretly found his own brothers to relax.

"Looks like we're coming for nothing."

Kobayashi shook his head.

Shopkeeper Qi rolled his eyes: "It's not in vain, I'll try our buffet here later, there are enough fresh fruits and vegetables." ”

"It's really fake, but don't lose money."

The shopkeeper Qi smiled: "At first, I was also worried, after all, one person only needs three coins of silver, although three coins is much, but many people in the capital can take out a luxurious handful, and they can eat it back if they can't say it, after all, the ingredients we have here are expensive......

As he was talking, there were guests outside, obviously all of whom were invited by the host's family, and they came to give congratulatory gifts, and he had to go to greet the audience first.

Next, he no longer has the energy to be lazy, and he can't even take care of his three brothers.

One after another, all kinds of luxury carriages, the kind with signs hanging in and out of the city gate, did not have to wait, and they stopped in front of the gate.

Everyone who came was full of style.

The shopkeeper Qi accompanied the smiling face until he was stiff, and just sent a little marquis upstairs, he was honestly afraid, so he pulled a county lord.

The champions after that are more stylish than those few, but they are familiar, often seen, and not very unusual.

He was a little numb by the end.

Finally, the flow of people gradually decreased, and the guests who had to be entertained were sent to lend them to the serious hosts for entertainment, and he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but pour a cup of tea.

Xiaolin and the others were dumbfounded, and even the guests who came to join in the fun. It's also a heart pounding.

Who are these people!

Those who are well-informed immediately made a note in their hearts, and they are a family that cannot be offended! Fortunately, there are too many businesses with such backgrounds in the capital, so they will not panic.

and flexible, he turned his head and sent someone to prepare a generous gift.

It was lively, and the gong sounded outside to open the way, and it was the eunuch in the palace who came out of the palace with a team of people and horses, still holding the holy decree in his hand.

A group of people set up at the door of the store, and everyone inside was stunned.

Hongchen was also a little surprised when he got the news, so he had to invite Xue Baiqiao. Yu Yi. Jin Qing went down together with a few close relationships.

When I went downstairs, I saw that it was a familiar one, and I could see it in the capital next to the queen's mother, it was that little Qiao's father-in-law, I heard that it had been very useful recently.

"Little Qiao's father-in-law has been promoted?"

"The blessing of the county lord's mother!"

Xiao Qiao saw Hongchen. It is usually polite to be able to be polite. Just be polite. This time, he held the holy decree in his hand, and it was not good to see the ceremony, but he was also full of smiles. "Long live the will of the lord, saying that it is just to add some joy to the county lord, so there is no need to kneel to accept it."

After he finished speaking, he unfolded the holy decree and recited it aloud, to put it simply, the emperor felt that Hongchen had made a great contribution throughout the year, and specially rewarded her with two hot spring villages.

Well, the hot spring Zhuangzi is still the queen's mother, thinking that it was the lady who had a whim, so she let the long-lived lord make a will to support Hongchen's façade.

The business she is doing now needs a lot of melons, fruits and vegetables in winter, and the queen mother is obviously worried about it.

Hongchen smiled all of a sudden, thanked him, accepted the holy decree, and beckoned Xiao Qiao's father-in-law to enter the door and wait for the next meal.

In fact, she really has no shortage of all kinds of vegetables and fruits, especially recently, the Yujue space still has so many restrictions on her, but there are more and more good things that can be found, and it seems that some people know that she likes all kinds of seeds, and gave her a lot of vegetable seeds that can grow in various environments and have a particularly short maturity period.

It's a pity that it can only be used by her planting in a special way, and she can't reproduce at all, otherwise the Great Zhou Dynasty will no longer have to worry about rations.

Hongchen suddenly thought of this, and sighed - she was reborn and returned, but she did not do much to benefit the country and the people.

Maybe you can try to study how to increase agricultural production, isn't there still a spirit master in the capital who is good at planting spirit wood, I don't know if there are any tricks to learn from.

led a group of people up to the second floor to talk, and the first floor began to prepare all kinds of dishes in full swing.

All the guests sat around the table, one person occupied a small hot pot, and the same food was brought to the front by the glass table that could be turned.

There are also little servants on the side to take care of.

This kind of fresh way to eat is really the first time to meet, used to add dishes is the common chopsticks, clean and hygienic, there are all kinds of precious spices with condiments in the plate, it is really a different flavor, and strangers sit together, talking and laughing, special lively, and the feeling of eating at a single table is really different.

Whoever wants to eat any dish is free to clip it by himself, a dip in the pot, the fragrance is very full, in addition to the hot pot is delicious, there are all kinds of stir-fried dishes, the dishes are novel, many have never been seen, in fact, only this table of bright green vegetables, plus fruits, can already make the gluttony of the capital first-class feast.

At the moment, it seems that many guests will enjoy this self-service.

At the beginning, these guests, seeing so many distinguished guests who are difficult to see even in the capital came to congratulate, knowing that the background of the shopkeeper is deep enough, with the idea of being sure to cheer, even if the dishes here are not very good, they have to praise, now it tastes fresh and interesting and sweet and delicious, no matter how perfect, it can be boasted vigorously, a meal is not finished, Luo Niang's 'ice and fire two heavens' am afraid that it will be famous all over the city.

Upstairs, Hongchen also ordered a table of dishes, all of which were the signature dishes of the store, and the group of people were not polite, eating in a mess, and even those who came out of the palace walked with a shy stomach when they left.

Luo Niang and the others were quite embarrassed, this shop, in fact, was opened to them by Hongchen to put it bluntly, but it made their own masters bother.

The guests above are just that, most of them are relatively close, they are happy to laugh together, and they will never work hard anymore when they do chores below.

Even so, a toss is a whole day, sending away the envoys in the palace, and sending away the distinguished guests who came to congratulate him, Hongchen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xue Baiqiao's whole person nested on the soft rattan chair, humming and chirping: "Tired!" ”

Jin Qing took a sip of his drink and snickered.

Hongchen glanced at the little marquis: "What about the congratulatory gift?" ”

Xue Baiqiao glanced at the thickest pile of gift lists out of the corner of his eye.

"You gave it here?" Hongchen raised an eyebrow.

"My daughter-in-law's family gave it to me. It's not just what I gave. Xue Baiqiao hummed.

He came over this time with a heavy responsibility, and on behalf of the Yun family, he expressed his gratitude to Hongchen.

It's not that the Yun family doesn't want to come, but in the past few days, they can't get out at all, Yun Shujun and her father are so busy that they can't wait to learn the doppelganger technique, one person is divided into more than a dozen people to summon, and even Yunxiao's illness is not cured, so Yun Shujun is taken away and starts to teach the affairs of the first camp seriously, and the Yun family finally needs him to be able to stand up.

Yun Shujun will marry into the Ninghou Mansion in the future. You can't still take care of the family's affairs. Even Xue Baiqiao didn't mind, and Ning Hou wouldn't agree.

The Yun family has declined, but there is still a certain amount of power in the army, that is, Ninghou Xianyun Yehe. Gain the trust of Your Majesty. Marry a lady with high prestige in the Yun family and go home. The emperor wouldn't mind too much, and he would feel that Ning Hou shared his worries and relieved him of his worries and replaced someone else. Every minute makes the long-live lord suspicious to death.

The thank you gift was delivered, but Xue Baiqiao refused to say a word of thanks, but instead looked envious, jealous and hateful: "I want to sell myself to you, make money!" ”

Let's see, which noble family in the capital can take the initiative to buy such an industry for their subordinates, especially when their own industries are not abundant.

Is there a better master in the world than Hongchen?

Hongchen ignores him, what kind of master and slave, everything is about fate, Luo Niang and they are not very outstanding, they are ordinary poor women, there are thousands of people in the world, but who let others not touch her, it is their group that meets her.

It was a momentary touch, and she suddenly wanted to give these girls a way out, so she did it, where is the need to care.

"It would be nice if the one sitting on the dragon chair had the goodness of our red dust!"

Jin Qing's eyebrows moved, and he was also moved.

Xue Baiqiao is also concerned.

Hongchen couldn't help but smile, these two are both close ministers of the Son of Heaven who are proud of the spring breeze, no, one is his own son, and the other is the son of a friend, which is also comparable to his own son, even they complained, which shows the difficulty of waiting for the king.

"Before ascending the throne, how many princes were corporals of Lixian, with the virtues of Confucius and Mencius, and all of them were Ming Jun in the eyes of courtiers."

But when you sit in that chair, it's hard to say.

"In fact, we were born in an era that is not too bad."

The four countries are in full swing, and there are not many wars, and all countries are still passable on the surface, and they dare not vigorously squeeze the people.

"As long as the four countries don't fight indiscriminately, the lives of the common people will still be able to go on." Hongchen smiled.

The group didn't speak for a long time, and she couldn't help laughing, "But eat something and talk about some gossip, why do you talk about government politics one by one?" Isn't it enough to worry about the country and the people in the DPRK? Before me, don't worry. ”

Xue Baiqiao thought about it, rubbed it over, squeezed Jin Qing away, and sat next to Hongchen, his eyes shining: "Tell me quickly, what have you done in the Yun family?" Don't you know, the little demon king of his family, as soon as his name is mentioned, he follows the devil, and he opens his mouth and closes his mouth to be the lord of Rong'an! ”

As a quasi-brother-in-law, Xue Baiqiao and his future brother-in-law are not less wits and courage, and they are quite compatible, and now they find that the little devil is being governed by his friends, which is really a little proud.

"You don't know, I think the Yun family is going to set up an immortal tablet for you, and I simply worship you as a god, Yunxiao's kid is now out of the door, he has to go to divination first, ask about the good luck, and the verbal word is, Lord Rong'an blesses, and it is safe to enter and exit today."

Everyone laughed when they said this.

Xue Baiqiao was there, his mouth didn't stop, and he said a series of words in one breath, which was interesting, but no one else could interject, Jin Qing was a little unhappy, and snorted: "The county lord already has the ability, you can use it, if you have a heart, don't hurry up and ask for a pair of elixirs to cure your stomach problems." ”

Before the words fell, the little marquis's face was gray and gray, wilted, and he didn't argue with Jin Qing: "I don't know where Niangniang got the dim sum, and she rewarded me to eat, in front of Niangniang, I didn't dare not eat it, it must have been drugged, I would rather go home and be punished for copying scriptures, I don't want to recall that taste anymore." ”

Hongchen suddenly felt a little weak!

Xue Baiqiao was depressed, but he didn't know that the queen was also a little unhappy - the Yan family's stall was very interesting, she originally wanted Hongchen to deal with it, so as to show her face in advance and gain an advantage, but she didn't expect that Hongchen did the Yun family's errand and fooled the old man, and the Yan family's affairs fell into the hands of others.

In fact, it is very normal, there are the most spiritual masters in the capital, but everyone who wants to participate in the assessment and get a court certification of the spiritual masters are gathered here, it is impossible for only Hongchen to show his face, and it is not strange to come out one or two outstanding and admirable.

Even if there is one person who is outstanding, with a lot of golden fingers, and the destiny of heaven is destined to be dominant, so that the other spirit masters are dimmed and become a little star next to the moon, it is not something that can be achieved overnight. (To be continued.) )
