Yangzhou, which has entered March, seems to be fully rejuvenated, with pink red glow and blue white smoke, shrouding the entire Yangzhou city in a spring light. The pink is the peach blossom, and the city looks purple and red, and from a distance, it is like the red glow on the horizon, and at the same time exudes bursts of fragrance.

And the white smoke is the flying catkins, the eyes are endless tender green, the willows pile smoke, the willow silk shakes gently, the tip of the tip slightly points the water surface, the spring breeze blows, ripples layer upon layer, accompanied by the flying catkins, the whole Yangzhou into the smoke and rain of the south of the Yangtze River.

Wang Fu looked at the wharf that was about to approach, looked at the scenery on both sides of the wharf, and the mood in his heart became good, since the last time he came to Yangzhou from Jiangning, he was sent by the owner to pull a batch of salt to Bianjing, and only returned to Yangzhou today, he turned his head to look at the empty wine jar on the side, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This time I went to Bianjing back and forth for more than half a month, because all the sails were raised, so the speed was fully open, otherwise I would not come back so soon, the monotonous and boring boat life all relied on the wine sent by Cao Gongzi last time, although he had long been accustomed to the boredom and boredom of the ship, but if he rested at anchor every night, drank a few glasses of this kind of wine, even if it was just a simple peanut, it felt like a happy enjoyment.

But this wine, it's good, it's too expensive, without drinking, even if you have saved it, for this reason you also refused the begging of the brothers under your hands, but it was also drunk by yourself two days ago, these two days or pulled out the cork and smelled the smell of the empty bottle that was too white drunk, and then drank the green ant wine that was not bad before drinking it but is now difficult to swallow, and can only be relieved of hunger in this way.

Thinking of this, the expression on Wang Fu's face was also much firmer, this time when he returned to Yangzhou, he planned to go to find the "Drunken Immortal Building" and find that Cao Gongzi, not to mention that Cao Gongzi had a higher salary and better treatment before, and promised that he would be in charge of several merchant ships at that time, but for the latter sentence. Wang Fu still has the attitude of not taking it too seriously, so far, that Cao Gongzi should not have a merchant ship yet, so as for the several ships behind, it is a matter of far away, and Wang Fu is not the kind of person who is ambitious.

However, although that Cao Gongzi loves to draw big cakes for others, but what he said is that he can provide Taibai drunk that is a real welfare, even if he is aiming for this, he can go to work, but these brothers who have been with him for nearly ten years don't know what to do. The current owner, the Liu family, the richest family in Yangzhou, is actually not bad for himself, but in this era, as long as he has been running on water transportation for more than five or six years, he is basically extremely sought-after. If they stay, even if the new captain is not as nice to them as he is, it will definitely be good for them to be treated later.

Wang Fu came back to his senses and suddenly found that there was still Steward Zhang of the owner's Liu Mansion standing on the dock, what was going on? It's not a big business on my trip, and I didn't say that I brought any important goods and important people back, even if it was the payment for salt, it didn't say that it was so much that I needed to come and receive it in person compared to usual, what was going on?

Wang Fu put aside the doubts in his heart, and after the ship was completely docked, he quickly accelerated to the dock, and before he got closer, he saluted from a distance and said loudly: "Steward Zhang, what kind of strong wind blew you here today, but what important things do you command?" ”

Steward Zhang also saluted, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, brother, I came here today to settle the salaries of you and the crew under you." ”

Wang Fu's face changed at the moment, and he smiled unnaturally: "Steward Zhang, are you joking?" ”

Steward Zhang was not annoyed, when he first received the notice from the head of the family, he didn't feel this way, and explained patiently at the moment: "This was ordered by the head of the family, and I was also shocked, he just asked me to come here and wait for you, and when you arrived, I would settle everyone's salaries immediately, and then take the payment back." ”

Wang Fu's face became very ugly, although he wanted to leave, it didn't mean that he liked to be kicked out like this, his tone became a little abnormal at the moment, and he said coldly: "Manager Zhang, do you know what's going on?" ”

Steward Zhang shook his head and said, "Brother Wang, you also know, what the head of the family told me to do, how dare I ask why, just do it, but Brother Wang, you don't have to think about it, it's not that the head of the family has any opinions about you, but that the head of the family gave this boat to someone else, and the other party also specified that he wanted to keep everyone on the boat." ”

"The whole ship was gone?" Wang Fu was shocked, after all, if this ship is built, it will cost twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver, the key is that the construction period is long, and it will take a few months and a half to move at every turn, so giving the whole ship to others is already a great deal in his opinion.

"Steward Zhang, do you know who it was given to?"

"I don't know, the head of the family didn't say it, and I don't dare to ask, but Brother Wang, you don't have to worry, the contracts you signed before were just to hire Wen Gong, and you can't be forced to stay, you can try to do it for a while, if it's not suitable, just leave, with your professional ability, when the time comes, someone else will rob you."

Although what Steward Zhang said was true, Wang Fu's heart was still a little complicated, but now that it has become a fact, after he completes the final handover work, he can go to that Cao Gongzi without psychological burden.

After Steward Zhang got the salary and other conditions in order and handed over the payment for the goods, Wang Fu said to the crew under him, let them stay on the ship for a few days, maybe when the new owner will come to collect the ship, he went to Cao Yi to see if he could reorganize and accept it.

Wang Fu because he sent Cao Yi over and drove directly to Bianjing, so he didn't know some of the things that happened later, on the way he asked people where the drunken fairy building was, after this period of time, the general people in Yangzhou also knew that Cao Yi and Cao Yi were going to open the drunken fairy building, after all, the competition with the four talents, the competition with Chu Mingxuan, plus the six major Oiran released later will become the spokesperson of the product Huayu soap sold in the drunken fairy building, and there is already a rumor in the upper class, Very good tasting and delicious peerless wine, Taibai drunk and drunk green lotus.

This has greatly improved the popularity of Zuixianlou, at least from a marketing point of view, Cao Yi's pre-opening "advertising" of Zuixianlou is still very good. Wang Fu even felt in his heart that Zuixian Building should be opened, but when he walked to the front of Zuixian Building according to the instructions of others, he found that the people inside were still busy with various opening things, and there were no customers.

Wang Fu walked in and saw that a person dressed as a small guy was busy, so he asked: "This little brother, hello, I am here to find Cao Gongzi, is he here?" ”

The little guy first put down the work in his hand and looked at Wang Fu from beginning to end, and then seemed to think of something, with a smile on his face, and said, "May I ask if you are Wang Fu Wang Lao?" ”

Wang Fu was stunned, how could the other party know his name, but he still replied: "I am Wang Fu, I don't know where Cao Gongzi is?" ”

"Cao Gongzi is not here, and Cao Gongzi rarely comes here, but the king steward has instructed that you may come to find Cao Gongzi in the next two days. So let's pay more attention, come with me, Elder Wang, and I'll take you to see Steward Wang. ”

"Steward Wang?" Wang Fu wondered in his heart, wouldn't it be the old man who was honored by Cao Gongzi as Uncle Wang? It should be him, he knows himself, and his surname is Wang, and his status is quite high when he hears it, so it should be it.

Wang Fu was relieved of the doubts in his heart, and followed the little girl straight upstairs, along the way, he also saw from a distance that the red-sleeved girl seemed to be training a group of people to form or something, anyway, they were standing straight in rows, and they also saw Miss Yu Youwei, who had played several good tunes on the boat before, and her maid Jin'er seemed to be teaching some people...... Forehead...... It seems to be dancing and singing......

This...... Is this drunken fairy building a restaurant or a green building...... How can there be everything, Wang Fu thought in his heart.
