The long carriage drove to a stop under the color platform on the east side, the carriage doors opened one after another, and all the officials in official uniforms got out of the car and gathered on the side of the emperor's chariot. Under the leadership of a slightly chubby official in a scarlet robe, all the officials bowed down to welcome Emperor Zhao Gou to get out of the car. Zhao Gou slowly stepped out of the chariot with the support of the chamberlain, standing in front of everyone with a smile on his face, although his figure was bloated, he was still burly and heroic. It is conceivable that when he was young, he must have been a handsome and beautiful man.

"The ministers respectfully invite the emperor to take the stage, open the gong for the Dragon Boat Dragon Boat Race, and pray for my Great Song Dynasty wind and rain!" The chubby official at the head shook his long official hat wings and bowed down and said, his voice clear and loud.

"This is the dog traitor Qin Hui! Yue Shaobao was killed by him. I can't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood. Someone beside Fang Zi'an gritted his teeth and whispered.

It was a common man dressed in ordinary clothes who spoke. Listening to his tone, the thin official was the treacherous Qin Hui. Fang Zi'an stared at Qin Hui's appearance carefully, but saw that Qin Hui's face was clear and dignified, and it was not like the obscene appearance described by later generations. It seems that the people of later generations have added a sense of likes and dislikes to the image of the characters, but in fact, Qin Hui's appearance is not like this. It's just that it doesn't matter what the appearance is, the important thing is that this treacherous appearance was finally seen alive by himself for the first time, and it was no longer an imaginary shadow, which also made Fang Zi'an feel the reality of reality even more.

"Don't talk nonsense, do you want to die? It was terrible to be heard by the officers and soldiers. Someone next to him hurriedly stopped.

"Isn't what this uncle said right? My father told me that Grandpa Yue's murder was the work of this big traitor. My father said that he also wanted to break this traitor into pieces. A teenager blushed.

"That's it, this dog traitor will not die for a day, and my Song Dynasty will not be prosperous, but it's a pity that the emperor was blinded by this traitor, it's really embarrassing." The people next to him echoed him.

"Besides, some officers and soldiers over there have noticed us, so shut up. Don't let your life be injurious to anyone else. Someone hurriedly stopped.

There were indeed a few soldiers on the street who were tiptoeing over the bars because of the noise of the bridge. The people who spoke did not dare to take it seriously and recklessly, so they shut up one after another.

Fang Zi'an lowered his head and groaned, he was not surprised by this kind of people's emotion, since he crossed here, he always felt this kind of emotion of the people. The famous general Yue Fei has been dead for ten years, but the people's nostalgia and regret for him have not diminished with time. Whenever there is friction at the border, the people of the Great Song Dynasty and the soldiers and horses were slaughtered by the Jin, and people will always miss Yue Fei more and more. I miss the invincible Yue family army more and more. At the same time, he hated the man who killed him more and more. This kind of sentiment is not uncommon among the people.

The process of dragon boat racing is naturally lively and intense. Fang Zi'an could see that the operators of the dozen or so dragon boats should have been carefully selected, perhaps they were all military sergeants pretending to be civilians. The purpose is to make the scene more beautiful and reflect the excitement of dragon boat racing. The reason is actually very simple, the Holy One personally participates, and he can't make it unpresentable. I am afraid that this is also the formalism of the minister in charge.

After the dragon boat race, the official family sent zongzi and sugar rice balls, and the waiters threw dozens of baskets of zongzi and sugar rice to the crowd, and the people scrambled for it, and Zhao Gou sat on the stage and laughed. This may be the 'rejoicing with the people' in his mind.

Towards the end of the day, the chariots of the emperor and his ministers had already left, and the soldiers had withdrawn. The crowd of people watching the excitement also dispersed, and there were many fewer people on the royal road, but there were still a lot of people crowded. Many people take this opportunity to take a stroll in the bustling street markets on both sides of Zhonghe Royal Road, and it is rare to steal half a day of free time today.

Fang Zi'an also took Chunnier to wander around the royal road and bought some snacks for Chunnier to eat. Chunnier felt embarrassed and distressed about money, but she refused to go against Fang Zi'an's kindness, so she only ate some cheap snacks, and if Fang Zi'an wanted to buy some expensive snacks, Chunni immediately resolutely stopped it.

The two were wandering around the streets, and Fang Zi'an kept talking to the shopkeepers on the left and right, asking about the rent of the store, which surprised Chunni. Finally, after coming out of a ready-to-wear store, Chunni couldn't help but ask.

"Childe, are you looking for a shop on this royal street? We're just opening a noodle shop, and the shop here is too expensive for us to rent. You see, this inconspicuous little shop costs 80 taels a year, which is four or five times more expensive than our shop on Sanyuanfang South Street. ”

Fang Zi'an stood still under an ancient willow on the side of the road, looked at Chunni after a moment of silence and said, "Miss Chunni, I have an idea. Since we are planning to open a store, why not simply make it larger and more decent. Wouldn't it be better not only to sell noodles, but also to sell some food and drinks? You can see that the shops on this street are doing a prosperous business, especially the business of restaurants and restaurants, which is in line with the saying that the people take food as the sky. Why not be bold and take bigger steps? ”

Chunni opened her mouth and was speechless, in her small mind, it was already a great luxury to open a pastry shop, and she never thought about opening a restaurant. This is somewhat unrealistic for her. She didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"What's wrong? Don't you think it's possible? Seeing that Chunni didn't speak, Fang Zi'an asked with a smile.

Fang ...... Fang Gongzi, it costs a lot of silver to open a restaurant, just to open a small shop, I'm afraid it will cost one or two hundred taels of silver to open, and it will cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to open a restaurant. Where are we going to get all this silver? Even if Childe had, with so much money at once, my father and I would not be able to afford such a big responsibility. If we lose, my father and I are afraid that we will jump into the river. Chunni stammered.

Fang Zi'an nodded and said, "It does cost a lot of silver." We asked a few shops, and the rent was very expensive. The site of the restaurant can not be too small, the kind of single room is not suitable, at least two layers of shop, but also very spacious. It's best to bring a house in the back, so that your father and daughter can move to live, and the province will rush here from Sanyuanfang every day. Such a shop is at such a street intersection, how can it cost three hundred taels of silver for a year's rent. Coupled with the pattern decoration, the purchase of tables, chairs, utensils, and the purchase of things, it takes at least six or seven hundred taels to open. I only have more than a hundred taels of silver on hand, which is indeed not enough. ”

Chunni hurriedly said: "Then we won't open a restaurant, let's go to Sanyuanfang to open a small noodle shop, and the capital of fifty or sixty taels can be opened." Fang Gongzi, let's not worry about those worries. ”

Fang Zi'an shook his head and said, "Miss Chunni, it is indeed a small risk to open a small noodle shop, but there is also little profit. The same hard work, but the reward is very meager. In a place like Lin'an City, the more small the business, the more difficult it is to do it. Believe me, Lin'an City will become more prosperous, and the people will be richer, so we have to take advantage of this momentum to seize the opportunity. It is impossible to lose money, for a simple example, if you open a small noodle shop in Sanyuanfang, a bowl of Yangchun noodles can only be sold for more than ten yuan, but if it is such a place, in a decent restaurant, a bowl of Yangchun noodles will cost at least 30 yuan. For the same cost, you earn more. And the person who comes to eat will not be too expensive, because he is not only eating noodles, but also eating the environment and services. What I eat is the added value of this bowl of noodles. ”

"P.S. ...... What is attached? What does Childe mean by this? The slave didn't understand at all. Chunnier was confused, staring at Fang Zi'an with wide eyes, and the words that popped out of his mouth were unheard of.

Fang Zi'an patiently explained: "Let's put it this way, just like there are always people who like to eat Wufangzhai's zongzi, although it is very expensive, and the raw materials are similar to the zongzi made by our ordinary people, but Wufangzhai's zongzi is ten times more expensive than other people's homes, why is this?" It's not because of the sound of Wufangzhai's sign. Eating is the card of Wufangzhai zongzi, and eating is the feeling of superiority. In fact, the taste of the zongzi is not much worse than the zongzi of ordinary people, right? ”

Chunni nodded slowly and said, "It seems to be this reason, I seem to understand a little." Rich people don't like to eat and drink cheaply, and they don't eat noodles on the street. There are a lot of rich people in Lin'an City, and Gongzi means to make money from rich people. And in the future, there will be more rich people, and business will get better and better, right? ”

Fang Zi'an slapped his face and said, "Yes, you are very smart, and you figured it out at once." ”

Chunni frowned and said, "But, where do we have so much silver?" You just said that it will cost seven or eight hundred taels to open a restaurant. My family has no money, can I still make up seven or eight taels, seven or eight hundred taels? I can't make up enough money after selling the house. When my father heard that it would cost so much money, he was afraid that he would faint on the spot. ”

Fang Zi'an smacked his lips and said, "This is a problem, nothing is in vain without silver." Gotta find a way to get the money. ”

Chunni looked at Fang Zi'an blankly, thinking: What you said was lively, it was all in vain. Where can I get the money? Such a large amount, do you want to steal it? Fang Gongzi, are you also the kind of person who only talks big and brags and is unreliable?

Fang Zi'an didn't notice Chunni's emotions, and frowned at the busy boats on the river to think of a way. The sound of laughter and laughter of the people shopping on the left, the sound of the shopkeeper in the street shop soliciting customers, the sound of the waves stirred up by the boat on the water, and the sound of the wind blowing the wicker swaying overhead, came together, noisy and lively. The noise was mixed with the sound of silk and bamboo music.

Chunni sighed and said softly: "Young Master Fang, let's go back, I have to help my father close the stall, he has to run back and forth several times by himself." My father's hands and feet are not good. Let's go back and discuss this matter. ”

Fang Zi'an turned his head and smiled mysteriously: "Yes, let's go find someone to borrow silver." ”
