Originally, the courtyard was cold, but at this time, it seems that the courtyard is going to be in the market. As soon as the official left on the front foot, a middle-aged woman with a flower branch, a, and a middle-aged woman who seemed to have no money and seemed to have no money entered the door with a silk scarf: "Yo, yo, Xia Niangzi is so majestic, the official just now is nothing more than that." ”

Xia Xiaoniang didn't know where she was, she knew this person, she was the old Baofang mother of the Broken Sleeve Pavilion, and the famous head of the Xianggu Pavilion on the banks of the Qinhuai River. Those who can gain a foothold on the banks of the Qinhuai River have more or less backgrounds. If it weren't for the lack of background, Xia Xiaoniang would have wanted to go in and get a piece of the pie, so why bother eating other people's leftovers here.

Xia Xiaoniang didn't know what she meant, but replied cautiously: "Mother Fang's words are serious, the store is really deserted, and if you don't make a little effort, maybe it will close tomorrow." ”

Mother Fang ignored Xia Xiaoniang, swayed her hips left and right and walked towards Zhen Feng, and sneered: "Yo, look, this looks so handsome, it can be compared to our leader of the Broken Sleeve Pavilion, and it can be counted in this Qinhuai River." ”

Xia Xiaoniang looked at this posture, and went to Zhen Feng without saying a word, how could she not figure it out, she could come over with the messengers of the yamen to watch the excitement and ridicule, who else could they report if they didn't report it? Didn't she just come to Liwei?

As the leader of the broken sleeve industry, there are competitors, and they are outside the controllable range, people give up rest as soon as possible, knock on the side to show their strength, demonstrate, and strangle the signs of competition in the cradle. In any case, this professionalism and competence can really be.

At this moment, Xia Xiaoniang needs to weigh and weigh, people don't have to come forward, just find an official to blow a few words of wind in their ears, which is enough for themselves to eat a pot, not to mention that their relationship network is huge, like a spider. She changed to a smile: "Where is Mother Fang, who doesn't know that Mother Fang and the Broken Sleeve Pavilion are the most famous places in the entire Tang Kingdom, and we are relying on you to pick up a few guests for dinner." ”

"The little lady has a heart, you have this little brother here, and sooner or later you have to change business. Just make a price, the old lady bought this little brother, and you can also make a quick buck. ”

Zhen Feng was originally in the mood to listen to the two women arguing with the mood of watching the play, but he didn't expect that within a few rounds, Xia Xiaoniang would automatically retreat, and Fang's mother had to tear her face and talk nonsense.

Zhen Jian was clenching a heavy fist at this time, his green tendons were exposed, and he could burst out at any time. Xia Xiaoniang swallowed her saliva, her greedy eyes flashed, and she couldn't agree to it, but reason still pulled her to make this decision, even if Zhen Feng's family is in tatters, it is also a distant relative of the family, and she can usually offend, and if she really makes a traitorous move, even if she is not immersed in the pig cage, she will be covered up by saliva, and the whole family will be embarrassed and thrown home in the city: "Mother Fang really looks down on Brother Feng, a small family, without any craftsmanship, and anyone in the Broken Sleeve Pavilion is better than him, how can he be embarrassed." We've transferred him to the inner yard to raise chickens and ducks. ”

Fang's mother said that she wanted to buy people, but she just took advance as retreat, and since she got the promise of Xia Xiaoniang's snow hiding competitor, she no longer insisted, and she laughed a few words at will, and left.

After Xia Xiaoniang smiled and watched Fang's mother leave, her face instantly darkened, and she sat down dejectedly. I just wanted to rely on Zhen Feng's face to attract some business, but I didn't expect it to end as soon as it opened, and Fang's mother's words were like the last straw, crushing Xia Xiaoniang. In the face of absolute strength, efforts are really vulnerable.

It can be guessed that after the emperor left in defeat last night, he must have complained to the Broken Sleeve Pavilion, and was regarded as a thorn in the side by the people there. The so-called report is actually to find someone to come and knock, if you are not obedient, maybe there will be a storm, which inexplicably makes an enemy, and adds wind, frost, rain and snow to the business of this restaurant.

Why is the eldest lady not favored, and Zhen Bang in the room can inherit the profitable restaurant in the future, and no matter how much she is favored, how hard she works, how much effort she has spent, and there is no good fruit? What will I do with my son Zhen Zhi in the future, drink the northwest wind? It's not fair!

Zhen Feng, who almost stepped into the Broken Sleeve Pavilion, was even more depressed. Since waking up, it is as if I have been tied up by the giant car of reality, and I can't stretch out. From this competition, it can be inferred that if you want to be rich one day and inadvertently offend some peers, you will not be able to move an inch. In the era of talking about human feelings, being afraid of the government, and having no status, it is often necessary to get twice the result with half the effort if you don't have the law, no wonder the second uncle is so haggard, and the evil feudal society.

He will not be grateful to Xia Xiaoniang for this, Fang's mother herself does not plan to buy herself, Xia Xiaoniang has neither the right nor the dare to sell people, everything is just to let Xia Xiaoniang put away her cross-border business. But Xia Xiaoniang also gave away the favor, and at this time, Zhen Jian thanked Xia Xiaoniang for his kindness.

This afternoon, Xia Xiaoniang began to be a little abnormal, she used to stare at and urge the details of the restaurant, but after the incident of Fang's mother, she didn't pay attention to the business in the store anymore, and even people were not in the store.

Zhen Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, holding a few golden melon seeds, looking at the second uncle's sad face every day, hoping to turn over as a serf as soon as possible and sing. There was a problem with this restaurant from the beginning of the site selection, and all the details in the business process, even the core taste of wine and food, were also average, except for Qin Huaihe and others, and they did not want to enter the Qinglou, or the money was not enough to pay for the entanglement, so they would come here to deal with a meal. It's hard for the second uncle to be this shopkeeper, there is no new idea, this is a dead end.

At this time, there was no good development environment in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the tax had reached an outrageous level, and it was even more difficult to rise. Since the battle of Zhou Shizong's three expeditions to the Southern Tang Dynasty more than ten years ago, in the end, the Southern Tang Dynasty had to compromise and pay tribute to the ministers, and cede a total of 60 counties in 14 prefectures in Jiangbei. The Southern Tang Dynasty was once the most powerful secession regime in the south during the Five Dynasties, and the most important thing was that it occupied most of the coastline of Jiangsu Province for a long time, and Yangzhou and Chuzhou here were the most famous salt producing areas and the most fundamental guarantee of the economic prosperity of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Since the loss of the salt area of Jiangsu, the economy of the Southern Tang Dynasty suffered a very heavy blow, from the former salt exporter to the salt importer, the Southern Tang had to agree with the Hou Zhou of that year, the annual supply of 300,000 stone salt from the Hou Zhou of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the price of salt at that time was about two copper dollars per stone, the total expenditure of 600,000 guan, which does not include hundreds of thousands of tributes every year, the Southern Tang Dynasty finance has been stretched, naturally passed on to the people, all kinds of taxes have appeared. If it were not for Zhou Shizong's three expeditions to the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty would have been more than ten years later if it wanted to break through the Southern Tang Dynasty.

These are some of the processes that Zhen Feng considers comprehensively from the micro management and macro environment, he can improve the operation of the restaurant, but after running the restaurant, with Xia Xiaoniang's control and virtue, will he and his second uncle improve? I'm afraid that it will not please others to make wedding clothes.

In a blink of an eye, on the fifteenth day of September, the Zhen family routinely worshiped their ancestors. There is an old man in the family, who is Zhen Jili's father, and his health is not very good, so he attaches more importance to the blessing ceremony. The second uncle Zhen Jian also went to the ancestral hall as a clansman, which was actually a room in the Zhen family's house, but only the man and the lady in the main house were eligible to go, and Xia Xiaoniang could not enter.

After sending the offerings in the exhibition hall, he hurried back to the restaurant, revealing gossip in his eyes: "Brother Bang'er is under house arrest, and the eldest lady can't kneel in the ancestral hall. ”

I can't tell you exactly why. So Zhen Feng took Zhen Shuang and ran to the Zhen family's house.
