Due to the proximity of Taiji Palace and Xingqing Palace, there are many royal nobles and dignitaries in the surrounding squares, and the goods in the city are many high-quality luxury goods to meet the needs of the royal family and dignitaries.

However, since ancient times, rulers have regarded merchants as "lowly classes", regarded industry and commerce as unprofitable, and strictly forbade hundreds of officials to enter the market. In October of the first year of Zhenguan and December of the second year, His Majesty Li Er issued many bans: "Those with more than five grades are not allowed to enter the market", and "It is forbidden to pass through the market with more than five grades".

These guys who occupy the top of society not only rely on industry and commerce to satisfy their material life enjoyment, but also regard themselves as high and contempt for industry and commerce, and impose all kinds of restrictions......

Compared with the more common and international trade methods of the West Market, the East Market, which has more luxury goods, is obviously far inferior to the former in terms of trade volume, and the degree of prosperity is slightly inferior.

However, when it comes to market order, the West Market, which has more people and is more mixed, is better than the East Market, because the officials who manage the market are completely strong in the West Market, and the people are afraid of the officials, so they naturally dare not disobey the management. Besides, at this time, the Tang Dynasty can be said to sweep the four seas and be self-respecting, and there is no such thing as worshipping foreign flattery, not only that, but when the crooked fruit kernel comes to the Tang Dynasty, it is a second-class person, and if you don't clean it up honestly, you won't die......

On the other hand, the East Market is the opposite.

Whether it is a store operator or a buyer in the market, which one is not the royal family of the family lord? It is inevitable that each other will have trouble with each other because of their different positions, and it is even more common for them to fight and cause trouble, and the market officials dare not take care of it, so order is naturally disordered.

*****

The market just opened early in the morning, and the "Skylark Tower" was already overcrowded.

The cold wind in the early morning of winter is chilling, and the bones are chilled. The housekeepers who braved the cold to come to the East Market to buy sent their cronies and servants to buy from store to store with the purchase list, and they took their entourage to hide in the warm wine shop and restaurant, order a table of side dishes, hot porridge, and eat a delicious meal, and then held hot tea to find a familiar steward to chat and chat, waiting for the cronies and servants to come back from purchasing, adding some supplements to the list, dividing the remaining money, putting the big head in his pocket, and going home beautifully......

The business of "Skylark Tower" is so good!

Not only is the price preferential and the things delicious, but also because the owner of the "Skylark Tower" is Bohai Gao.

The Bohai Gao clan sounds like the mountain is far away from the remote frontier, but who called someone to produce a cow?

The head of the family, Gao Shilian Jin Jue Shen Guogong, is the core of the Guanlong Group, and is close to Shandong Haoqiang, even the Jiangnan Shi clan has many contacts. Able to maintain close relations with the three major political forces at the same time, he is the only one in the Manchu Dynasty with a transcendent status......

Besides, Gao Shilian is the uncle of the current emperor, with the deep affection between His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun, how can he not respect Gao Shilian, who raised the eldest grandson Wuji and Empress Changsun brother and sister, and has a lot of tolerance?

The sedan chair is carried by everyone, where to eat is not to eat? Eat a meal or breakfast or lunch in the "Skylark Building" when purchasing every day, which has both grade and face, and can also sell a good thing to the owner in front of the Gao family, why not?

Therefore, the business of "Skylark Building" is one of the best among dozens of restaurants in the East Market, and it is making money every day.

The shopkeeper sat on a chair behind the counter yawning, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand just to warm his hands and not drinking, and snooze listlessly.

He is a remote branch of the Bohai Gao family, he left his hometown at a young age and came to Chang'an to join Gao Shilian, because he has a lively personality and can be trusted by the same family, and is quite valued by Gao Shilian, who has been serving as the second steward of the Shenguo Mansion before, and has been in charge of the second steward of the Shenguo Mansion for two years, and the miscellaneous affairs in the house are gradually unable to take care of it, so he took the initiative to tell the old man and came to manage such a restaurant in the East City.

He is old enough, and now the servants in the restaurant are all his apprentices and grandchildren, and his prestige is naturally not ordinarily high, and he doesn't need to do anything when he is free, just stay here to retire......

Customers come and go in the lobby, and it is very noisy.

The shopkeeper frowned, feeling a little noisy, so he wanted to go to the back room to take a nap and get some sleep.

A servant hurried in.

"Shopkeeper ......"

The shopkeeper raised his eyelids and reprimanded, "Be safe!" Every time there is a major event, there is calmness, Mount Tai collapses in front and the face does not change, so as to be able to take on the great responsibility. What kind of frizz does it be? ”

He can't see such a disproportionate servant the most, and he has no future......

The servant slandered in his heart: We are just a man who runs the hall and does odd jobs, and can take on the big responsibility of a fart......

said it, but he didn't dare to be disrespectful, and quickly admitted his mistake: "Yes, yes, yes, the shopkeeper taught me a lesson, and the small ones should pay attention to ...... in the future."

The shopkeeper hummed at this time, held the teacup, drooped his eyelids and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Shaodong, the shop next door that sells silver bone charcoal, asks to see him."

"Selling silver bone charcoal?"

The shopkeeper is a little strange, I didn't think of it, but think about it, it is also the industry of the Zhang family in Xingyang, Zhang Liang is now the head of the Canghai Road march, although he was tossed by the Erlang of the Fang family, but in the end he is also the founder of the country, and this face has to be given ......

Then he said, "Call him here." ”

"No!"

The servant turned and went out, and after a while brought over a stout young man in a brocade robe.

The young man walked quickly, and when he arrived at the counter, he didn't give a salute, and glared at the shopkeeper behind the counter and asked angrily, "You are the shopkeeper of this lark building?" ”

The old shopkeeper was a little displeased, but he had dealt with dignitaries all his life, and he had already developed the kung fu of forbearance, and said quietly: "Old decay is exact, I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" ”

The young man straightened his chest and said with a big grin: "A certain name is Zhang Shentie, and Yun Guogong is a cousin of a certain uncle." ”

It's like "my dad is Li X", full of arrogance!

The old shopkeeper's eyelids jumped, and he smiled and said, "Hehe, disrespectful and disrespectful." It's just that I don't know if Zhang Xiaolangjun came here, what advice did he have? ”

It's just to give you some face to meet you, and what kind of amazing person is the chief manager of your family?

Maybe in the eyes of others, it is indeed a founding meritorious service and a general manager, but in the eyes of our Shen Guogong, hehe, that is a fart......

This kid looked at some of the flusters, or sent it off early, and went back to make up for sleep, but when he was old, his spirit was not good, and he couldn't get up at all if he didn't get enough sleep......

That Zhang Shentie glared at the old shopkeeper and said loudly: "I don't dare to teach you, but your porridge shed has blocked our shop, so how can we do business?" ”

The old shopkeeper was slightly stunned and looked at the servant on the side.

The servant hurried forward and whispered in his ear why......

However, the business of "Skylark Building" is too good, especially during the breakfast period, the lobby is always full, and many late guests cannot find a seat and have to leave. It is unforgivable for any business to have money to make money, so the old shopkeeper sent his servants to discount a simple porridge shack in front of the door to serve those customers with less status, so that the sales of yesterday's breakfast almost doubled.

It's just that the old shopkeeper's spirit is a little poor, and he is too lazy to go out when the weather is cold, this kind of thing is naturally ordered to go down, and I don't know what this porridge shed looks like.

actually blocked half of the façade next door......

This is indeed a bit excessive.

The old shopkeeper nodded, and wanted to instruct his subordinates to tear down this porridge shed, or reduce it, and always let others do business.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he saw Zhang Shentie in front of him with a pair of bull's eyes, waved his big fist in a vinegar bowl, and said arrogantly: "If you know something, quickly dismantle the porridge shed, then that's it." If not......"

The spirited old shopkeeper suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were sharp, and his tone was cold: "Otherwise, what? ”

I'll tear it down myself, that's to give you face, it's our generosity!

How dare you threaten my Gao family?

Zhang Shentie snorted, his nostrils facing the sky: "If not, the master will do it for you!" ”

His voice was very arrogant and loud, and after he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the originally noisy lobby.

The diners all turned their heads to look at each other, stunned.

Who is this fool?

The old shopkeeper smiled angrily, nodded again and again, and said angrily: "Okay, good, I really have the courage, is it going to tear down this lark tower together?" ”

Zhang Shentie didn't know what to think, so he nodded and said, "If you provoke the master, then it will be demolished!" ”

This time, not only the diners were stunned, but even the old shopkeeper was a little confused.

It is said that the second room is the No. 1 mallet in Chang'an, and now it seems that this name is about to abdicate and give way to Xian......

This Erlenzi is even better than Fang Jun!
