……

Since the construction of the river embankment began, more than half a month has passed.

The weather is getting warmer day by day, the embankment is changing every day, the mile-long riverbank has been seen to be roughly rudimentary, the drainage and irrigation ditches are also being built simultaneously, the reserved steps and waterwheel mouths are all completed, and the rest is mainly the earthwork of the embankment, but this is all by manual and time accumulation.

After the end of spring sowing, almost all the men, women and children in the town participated in the labor, blacksmith shops, carpentry workshops, bamboo workshops were all working hard to build and make various tools, and with the increase of tool manpower, the construction of the embankment is getting faster and faster day by day.

According to the current situation, it will only take half a month at most, and the planned embankment that can withstand a major flood once in a century will be completed, which is definitely a cross-century project once and for all.

On weekdays, when Chen Xu came to inspect the work on the embankment, everyone smiled and saluted, but today, he found that everyone looked at him very well, and some people saluted all the way, but then they all bowed their heads one by one and whispered to each other.

"I heard that no, Li Dian was hungry for milk, and held a big cow's ** and slurped for a long time!"

"I've heard about it too!"

"Alas, Lord Lidian is so evil-doer, I can't drink a mouthful of milk if I want to!"

"There are so many little women and nurses in the town who have just given birth, why bother? I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out! ”

……

Chen Xu walked all the way, his face became darker and darker, and after he went back, he asked Yu Wuya to press Wang San and Wang Si to the ground and beat him hard to feel a little better.

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, it seems that he had better leave Qinghe Town as soon as possible and go out to avoid the limelight, otherwise he would not be able to explain clearly when he saw Shui Qingrou when he went home.

Chen Xu made up a certain scene in the future, and the water gently cried and unbuttoned his shirt and said: "Husband, there is one at home, why don't you cherish it, but you still have to go to the cattle pen......"

Damn, Chen Xu made a big swing, and then hurriedly urged Wang Wu and Yu Wuya to pack their luggage and leave Qinghe Town to go to Wancheng.

……

Now it is mid-spring February, and Wancheng is closer to the south than Pheasant County, and it is also a plain area, so the climate is warmer, the green wheat waves along the way are rolling, the peach and plum are fragrant and the flowers are vibrant, and the willows are already full of sultry spring.

Bathed in the warm spring breeze, Chen Xu and others rode their horses lightly as if they were playing in spring, starting from the morning, and when they arrived in Wancheng, they were already eating and approaching, and the city gate was slowly closed soon after entering the city.

Today's Qinghe store has become a business card of Wancheng and even the entire Nanyang County, whether it is Wancheng people or business travelers from the south to the north, the topic must talk about Qinghe store.

Without him, it is because of the peculiarity of the things sold in this store, and there is one of the most striking characteristics, that is...... Expensive!

A bottle of Qinghe wine is at least 8,000 yuan, and it is also a discounted price, and even if it is such an expensive wine, it sold 300 bottles in one winter, worth 2.4 million copper coins, and it is more than 60,000 stones in exchange for grain, which is basically equivalent to the total income of summer and autumn taxes and grain in Pheasant County in a year, so now Chen Xu said that the rich can rival the country is still far behind, but the rich can still beat the city.

Although Qinghe wine is ridiculously expensive, it is not something that can be bought with money, because it is dressed in the skin of immortal wine, and more than 100 bottles were bought by wealthy businessmen in Wancheng on the opening day, and the rest were all sold out within half a month.

Therefore, the tying of the brand Qinghe, tea oil and vinegar also sold hundreds of bottles, which was converted into tens of thousands of dollars.

Of course, sweaters, sweaters, pants and scarves were also sold.

Sweaters, sweaters, pants and scarves are woven by women who learned to weave sweaters in Qinghe Town, because they have just learned, so the techniques are very rough and relatively slow, more than 100 ingenious women in the town sit on the kang every day and keep weaving, and all the two cars of wool are woven in a winter, and Chen Xu pays wages according to the difficulty of the task, weaving a simple scarf is only 30 yuan, but knitting a sweater or a pair of wool pants will give 200 yuan, although the purchase price and the selling price are ten times different, But let the women of the whole town make a lot of money, and weave five or six pieces in a winter with ingenuity and fast speed, which is more than a thousand dollars, because of this incident, the status of the women in the town in the family has suddenly improved a lot, and the old men in the family dare not beat people casually, and they serve carefully with a smile on their faces every day, and the family is harmonious and joyful, and the peaceful atmosphere of Qinghe Town has also improved several levels than before.

Only by earning money can they have status, and the improvement of the status of women compatriots depends on Lord Xiao Lidian, so every day countless big girls and little daughters-in-law in the town can't help but throw their eyes and try to hook up with him when they see Chen Xu.

Sweaters, sweaters, pants and scarves are seasonal products, and they are not easy to buy in the spring, so Chen Xu arranged for someone to deliver to Hu Kuan in December, so he simply let him sell them at a discount in December, so that the sweaters and sweaters that used to cost three thousand or two thousand yuan were all 999 out, and the scarves were even lower to one hundred yuan, and in the end they were all sold out.

As for the non-staple food of rice candy and biscuits, it is a product supplement, although it seems to be ridiculously expensive, but wealthy families can still consume it, so Liu Dazhui makes some weekday sales behind the foot house, which can be regarded as a choice of tourist specialties for the Fang family celebrities and business tourists, after all, no one can afford to buy Qinghe wine.

The number of Qinghe wines brewed by Chen Xu is limited, and there are not many stores in Qinghe Town, and it will take six or seven months to wait for the new grapes to come out, so it is now in a state of reluctance to sell, with a limited supply of fifty bottles per month, and it is necessary to buy new goods every month to be delivered early, and it is necessary to pay a deposit of 1,000 yuan in advance to book, and after paying, get a small paper ticket with a special number, so now there is a large group of scalpers guarding the door of the Qinghe store every day, no matter when someone comes into the store to ask Qinghe wine, that is, no, the pre-sale number has already been sold to the summer, but you can sell pre-sale tickets from scalpers, plus hundreds to thousands of dollars per ticket.

"A few Lang Jun, do you want a pre-sale ticket for Qinghe Wine in June? Just add a thousand dollars! Chen Xu and the others had just arrived on the street in front of the Qinghe store, and immediately a few scalpers surrounded them.

"Noise~" Wang San, who was riding a horse in front, choked and pulled out a brand-new steel sword at his waist, and the blade of the black sword instantly rippled with a cold breath.

"Get out of here, get out of the way~ blind!" Hu Kuan hurriedly ran out of the store, kicked and kicked a few scalpers away, and then saluted Chen Xu with a dry smile, "Hu Kuan has seen Lord Lidian!" ”

Chen Xu jumped off the horse with a twitch and said, "Look at the good things you do, what are these splashes like all day long!" You have to have a face to make money! ”

Hu Kuan blushed and smiled and said: "It's not that I don't want to be embarrassed, but Qinghe wine is too little, every time it arrives, it will be crowded out, since you asked me to use this method of scheduled sales, some people have taken advantage of loopholes to order and then resell the receipts, rather than let others make it better to let us earn it ourselves!" ”

Chen Xu was also a little speechless, he didn't have enough wine, so he could only use this common hunger marketing method in later generations, but he underestimated the wisdom of the ancients, and as a result, some people soon began to resell small tickets, and he couldn't solve this kind of thing.

"How's the inn and theater going?" Chen Xu stood on the street, looking at several foot houses and houses on both sides of the Qinghe store that had been extensively renovated and renovated.

"Back to my lord, the inn and the theater have been completed, and now there are only some finishing touches, you can follow me in and take a look!" Hu Kuan hurriedly led the way in front.

Today, there are a total of two houses and two foot houses on the left and right sides of the Qinghe store, which were bought by Hu Kuan, and Chen Xu also drew simple drawings for the delivery team to send over, and I don't know what the hell Hu Kuan has built.

However, after entering, Chen Xu was a little surprised, because it was not much different from what he expected, and it was even much better than he imagined.

Originally, I was going to take the name Qinghe Hotel, but then I felt that the name was too cheesy, so it was changed to Qinghe Inn, and now Qinghe Inn has expanded to an area of more than ten acres, almost occupying half of the street, and the two feet connected together were connected together, forming a two-story brick and stone building, all of which were re-reinforced and decorated, the walls, floors and windows were also replaced, and the roof was also re-rested, which looked luxurious and atmospheric.

Because the two houses have courtyards and large areas, Chen Xu directly designed and transformed them into a theater.

To say that it is a theater is an exaggeration, that is, a stage more than one meter high was built in a huge wooden shed, and a curtain was set up, ready to be used for some entertainment.

At present, the tables, chairs, stage and curtains have all been completed, and it looks like it has a bit of the style of the ancient stage in the Ming and Qing dynasties, as for the details...... Don't be too demanding, you will, you will.

"By the way, have you found a few little ladies who are looking for performances?" Chen Xu stood on the stage and asked.

"I've found more than a dozen of them, and I'm learning to dance and rehearsing the Tianxian match you said every day, why don't you call them all over to perform for you now?" Hu Kuan followed and hurriedly said.

Chen Xu looked at the sky and said, "Okay, you go and make arrangements, let's go eat first." ”

Coming out of the theater, he took Yu Wuya and Wang Wuwang and Wang Qi and four guards to the noodle shop next door to the Qinghe store and asked Lu Dong to quickly make a few bowls of noodles to satisfy his hunger, and after eating, a group of people came to the theater again, Hu Kuan had brought more than ten teenage girls to the stage, the eldest was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and the younger one was only eleven or twelve years old, but at this time they were all wearing brand new skirts, and their hair was neatly combed, and they all looked at Chen Xu and a few strong men with swords and swords.
