Following.

Guo Dan got up early and was about to go to Jinyulou to negotiate, but just after leaving his small courtyard, he met the housekeeper Kou Yi.

"Uncle, where are you going?"

Kou Yi asked.

"Go to Jinyulou to talk about business!" Guo said with a smile.

Kou Yi hurriedly reminded: "Uncle, you are not talking about business, you are just going to learn experience." ”

Hehe, this housekeeper is really dedicated, and he is a good housekeeper. Guo Dan gave full marks to Kou Yi's professionalism, and in view of Guo Dan's previous deeds, he could also understand Kou Yi's worries, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm just going to learn." ”

Kou Yi said again: "But it's still early!" ”

Guo Dan said: "I was bored at home for a few days, and I wanted to go out for a walk by the way. ”

Kou Yi sighed, and said with some unease: "Uncle, you will ...... then." ”

"I know, talk less and listen more."

Guo Dan patted him on the shoulder with a little comfort, and then walked towards the door.

Kou Yi glanced at his shoulder inexplicably, and when he came back to his senses, Guo Dan had already gone out.

This Kou family's mansion is in the most prosperous area of the southern city, out of the gate, through the two alleys, Guo Dan came to the lively Mashi Street, although it is still early, but the street is already full of traffic, the shops on both sides of the road, the buildings are lined up, it seems that it is really a prosperous era, but from the perspective of the course of history, it is now in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

Guo Dan is not very interested in history, he used to only have a strong interest in money, but he has also read history books, and he still knows a little, so he feels more novel, he very much wants to know how his ancestors lived, his mentality at this time is not to work, but more like to travel.

He was a little surprised by the results, because he found that the commerce of the Ming Dynasty was very developed, everything could be sold in the market, and although it was not capitalism, the commodity economy was already relatively developed.

After wandering around for a while, Guo Dan saw that the time was almost up, so he went to Jinyulou.

After a long walk of incense, he came to the front of a three-story building, very imposing.

"This is it."

Guo Dan looked up at the plaque hanging on the eaves of the second floor, which read the three big characters of Jinyulou.

And behind the golden jade building is a lush green, planted with flowers and trees, rockeries stand up, it is said that there is an artificial lake in the middle, in this downtown area, the scenery is more charming, it is also very rare.

Just as he was about to go in, a little beggar of twelve or thirteen years old suddenly ran over, holding a broken bowl, "Big brother, give me a little charity, I haven't eaten for a day." ”

"Oh, you wait a minute."

Guo Dan hurriedly took out two cents of silver from the money bag and threw it into the bowl.

Silver? The little beggar's eyes suddenly widened, as if he couldn't believe it.

Guo Dan didn't care about him, this is just a habit, if a beggar took the initiative to ask him for money, he would usually give a little, because he felt that this little change was spent on the beggar, it should be more valuable, otherwise, it would be cheaper for those dry cleaners, and went straight to the gate of Jinyulou, but just two steps, he suddenly stopped, looked back, and saw that the little beggar was still there in a daze, his eyes suddenly flickered a few times, as if he was thinking about something.

And the little beggar suddenly noticed that Guo Dan was looking at him, and hurriedly ran over and asked, "Big brother, are you giving too much?" ”

"Not really." Guo Dan smiled awkwardly and asked again, "You said earlier that you haven't eaten for a day?" ”

The little beggar nodded.

Guo Dan said: "Then you go and wait in the back, and I'll bring you some food later." ”

"Really?"

The little beggar said excitedly.

"Wait."

After that, Guo Dan walked into the Golden Jade Building.

"Guest officer, please inside."

A handsome young man in front of the door hurriedly greeted Guo Dan when he saw Guo Dan coming.

When Guo Dan observed, he already knew that there was a handsome man standing in front of the door to greet the guests in front of the big restaurant.

"Uncle Kou?"

The shopkeeper in the building couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Guo Dan, and said, "Guo Tongsheng, you seem to have come a little early, and our proprietor ......." ”

This Guo Dan was not admitted to Xiucai, but he passed the children's test, that is, he obtained the qualification to be admitted to Xiucai, this kind of person is generally called Tongsheng, but few people call others Tongsheng, because this is too low-level, so whether outsiders call him the son-in-law of the Kou family or Guo Tongsheng, it is all ironic.

Guo Dan came to the counter and interrupted him, "It's not that I miss your Jinyulou's food, so I'm just one step earlier, you can serve me a few of your signature dishes first, I haven't eaten breakfast today." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he didn't say much, and immediately beckoned a bartender to come over.

The bartender took Guo Dan to the second floor, because it was still early, so there were not many guests in the restaurant, Guo Dan picked a seat by the window and sat down, taking advantage of the gap between the dishes, raising his eyes to look at the interior decoration.

Jin Yulou gives Guo Dan the feeling, not like a restaurant in the pure sense, more like a kind of club, because it seems to contain a theme, the dining table here is not neatly placed, but staggered, you can see copywriting, piano table, four treasures of the study room everywhere, and whether it is on the wall, or on the beams, are full of poems and articles.

The sense of art is coming.

Guo Dan nodded appreciatively, only to feel that Jinyulou can have this scale, and it is by no means relying on those side doors.

Soon, three dishes came up, a roast goose, a bamboo shoot, and a yam soup.

The dishes are all very exquisite, you must know that Guo Dan didn't order before, but they didn't serve a few more dishes, here is the weight of one or two people, it can be seen that Jin Yulou really has its own uniqueness and has its own forced style.

Guo Dan actually had breakfast, he was tasting more, only to feel that although these dishes were very exquisite, the taste was not as eye-catching, and the aftertaste was endless, which could only be said to be decent.

Suddenly, I heard a hearty laugh from upstairs, and then I saw a middle-aged man in his forties, with a straight waist and eyes like torches, and a slightly older than Guo Dan, a personable and handsome son.

These two people are Zhou Feng, the proprietor of Jinyulou, and Liu Chengbian, the eldest son of the Liu family.

The shopkeeper was following them, and when he went up to the second floor, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Guo Dan.

When Liu Chengbian saw Guo Dan, a touch of disappointment flashed in his eyes, Zhou Feng just nodded slightly, and then walked to the third floor with Liu Chengbian, which shows how contemptible Guo Dan is.

And the shopkeeper came to Guo Dan's table and said, "Guo Tongsheng, my master invites you to go up." ”

"But I haven't even eaten it yet!"

Guo Dan pretended to be depressed.

The shopkeeper was so depressed, are you here to talk about business, or to eat, but in view of Guo Dan's reputation, he didn't feel very inappropriate, but said: "After the talks, my lord will definitely have a banquet for the son." ”

Not necessarily. Guo Dan pretended to hesitate for a moment before saying, "In this way, you wrap these dishes for me, and I'll take them back to eat, don't waste them." ”

The shopkeeper was speechless, but nodded in agreement.

Guo Dan went to the third floor with him.

The force on the third floor is higher, there are no chairs, only cushions, in a circle, the middle is empty, and there is a faint fragrance in the air.

"Outside of Zhou, Brother Liu."

Guo Dan bowed to the two of them with a glance.

Liu Chengbian also stood up and arched his hand: "Brother Guo Xian, don't come to harm." ”

Zhou Feng just stretched out his hand and said, "Guo Tongsheng, please take a seat." ”

In Guo Dan's impression, this Liu Chengbian still respects him on the surface, and has always called him a virtuous brother. But Guo Dan knew that in fact, Liu Chengbian looked down on him, but the two of them were not on the same level.

After Guo Dan sat down, Zhou Feng said: "The two of you should know why I invited you to come here today, then I will get straight to the point, what can you do to help me buy Chen Lou?" ”

Liu Chengbian smiled at Guo Dan and said, "I don't know what Brother Guo Xian thinks?" ”

My idea is not to make your errand money. Guo Dan pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Brother Liu will say first." ”

Liu Chengbian smiled and said: "Brother Fool has already told the staff about our Liu family, so it doesn't hurt for you to say it, Brother Xian." ”

Zhou Feng nodded and looked at Guo Dan.

Didn't you give me a chance to learn? Aren't you bent on my father-in-law to death? Guo Dan's face showed a depressed look.

Liu Chengbian asked, "Isn't there anything unspeakable about the virtuous brother?" ”

Guo said bluntly: "Don't hide it from Brother Liu, my father-in-law has told me several times to let me come here, listen more and talk less, or even don't speak." ”

When Zhou Feng and Liu Chengbian heard this, they immediately understood.

Liu Chengbian showed a slight hint of pride, Kou Shouxin asked him not to speak, obviously he didn't intend to compete with their Liu family.

Zhou Feng snorted, "Your Kou family really looks at us Zhou!" ”

Guo Dan pretended not to understand, and looked at Zhou Feng blankly.

Zhou Feng waved his hand and said, "Since you have nothing to say, then you can go back first." ”

"Oh."

Guo Dan immediately stood up, bowed, and said, "Juniors say goodbye." Brother Liu, the foolish brother said goodbye. ”

Guo Dan used to be like this, very dull, people let him go, he really left, as a reader, it is indeed not wrong to do this, a reader must always be a little arrogant, but as a businessman, he must be thick-skinned, no matter how he has to fight in front of the customer, there is no commission for face.

"Brother Xian, walk slowly." Liu Chengbian also stood up, bowed back, and suddenly asked, "By the way, I don't know how my brother and sister are doing lately?" ”

"Uchiko is good!" Guo Dan nodded, "Brother Liu has something to look for Neiko?" If so, I can make an appointment for you. ”

"Huh?"

Liu Chengbian was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Feng couldn't help it and laughed.

Liu Chengbian looked at Zhou Feng embarrassedly, his handsome face turned red, and he waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, I'm just asking casually." ”

"Oh."

Guo Dan nodded, feeling funny in his heart, with your cheek, you dare to worry about the corner of my house, be careful that I will give you a green hat.
