Chapter 61: The Lantern Riddle Conference
Early the next morning, Fan Hong got up early in the morning, stood at the door and waited, stretching his neck to look around.
"Sell the newspaper, sell the newspaper."
Soon after, the shouts of the newsboy rang out.
"Give me a copy"
As soon as Fan Hong saw the newsboy, he immediately rushed over, took out three pennies to buy a newspaper, and then opened it to look at it, and found that the image of their silk shop was impressively on it, and he couldn't help but be happy.
Then he came to a silk shop opposite, which was opened by his old rival Mo Ergong, and the two had been fighting for more than ten years without a winner, and this time he advertised in the newspaper in order to completely win over this old rival.
It didn't take long for Fan Hong to watch Mo Ergong open the door and walk out, and immediately greeted him and said, "Old Mo, it's early!" ”
Mo Ergong glanced at him and said, "So good to come and greet me?" You can't be taking the wrong medicine, right? ”
"Did you read the newspaper today? Check it out! Look here. ”
Fan Hong handed over the newspaper with a smile on his face.
"Yo, it turned out to be in the newspaper, no wonder you came to me so early in the morning."
Mo Ergong glanced at the picture and understood his intention.
Fan Hong said with a smile: "This advertisement is not bad, the painting is vivid, it is like moving my store up." ”
Mo Ergong knew that he was here to show off, and said, "You must have spent a lot of money on such a large advertisement in the newspaper!" ”
Fan Hong waved his sleeves and said, "It's not much, it's a little money, it's just ten times a day." ”
"Looks like you've made a lot of money! I don't know if I will lose all my money. ”
Mo Ergong's eyes were also full of jealousy.
"You don't have to worry about it, even if it's a loss, it's a show of face in front of the whole city."
As soon as he heard the word loss, Fan Hong's heart couldn't help but tremble.
At this moment, he saw that many people were gathering in front of the store, and immediately walked over and said, "Everyone, do you want to make clothes?" ”
One of them said, "Is this the shop in this newspaper your place?" ”
Fan Hong hurriedly nodded and said, "That's right! It's me here, if you want to buy silk, you can come to me, and now I'm doing activities to ensure affordability. ”
As time passed, more and more people came to the front of the store to stop and look, and there were many people shopping in the store.
Seeing this scene, Fan Hong also showed a bright smile on his face, judging from the current situation, this advertising fee is worth it.
At this time, he watched Mo Ergong look outside the store from time to time, and he also walked over and said, "Old Mo, how is it?" Now that the people in my store are almost out of place, you're pretty spacious here! ”
"Hmph"
Mo Ergong snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the store.
After Zhang Heng finished drawing Naruto's manuscript for tomorrow at the Shengping Society, he also came to the street and wandered alone.
When he passed by an alley, he suddenly smelled a familiar aroma of liquor, which was the smell of high-concentration liquor, and he also walked into the alley, and then found that there was a tavern inside.
After entering, Zhang Heng called the guy over and said, "Man, come to the pot of wine." ”
"Okay, we guarantee that you like the wine in our store, and it's very exciting."
The man immediately brought a jug of wine.
Zhang Heng poured a glass of wine and tasted it, and found that the taste was high-concentration liquor, but it had an extra fragrance of osmanthus.
Then he walked to the counter and said to a woman dressed as a proprietress and said, "Boss, your wine has a high degree of alcohol, so you must have used some special brewing method!" ”
The proprietress glanced at Zhang Heng vigilantly and said, "Who are you?" What is this for? ”
"I only know one place where this kind of wine can be brewed, and since you can also brew it, you must have gone to steal it!"
Zhang Heng threw out this with a smile.
"Nonsense, my family officials didn't steal teachers."
As soon as she heard this, the proprietress was also annoyed.
However, Zhang Heng figured it out and said, "Your official should be working in the Jiang family brewery!" ”
The proprietress asked, "How do you know?" ”
Zhang Heng just smiled, then settled the wine money and walked out, this proprietress is quite business-minded, and adding some osmanthus directly to the wine will become a different wine, and it will not leave the truth.
After coming out of the tavern, Zhang Heng also came directly to the brewery, seeing that a few guys were busy, while Jiang Datong was sitting outside drinking wine.
When Jiang Datong saw him, he stretched out his hand to beckon him over: "Brother, come over and have a drink with me." ”
"You're very chic alone! I've just drunk wine, outside, winery-like wine. ”
Zhang Heng sat down and talked about it.
"Really? Could it be the wine that was sold from us? ”
Jiang Datong was also serious.
Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "The winery sells all retail investors, and that tavern consumes a lot every day, it can't be bought from us, and we must have leaked the distillation method." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Datong hurriedly said, "Do you want me to call them over and ask aside." ”
Zhang Heng waved his hand and said: "No need, this is an inevitable thing, the winery can't always rely on distillation to get high-strength wine, you have to brew it yourself, you can study more in this regard." ”
"I'll arrange for someone to do this."
Jiang Datong nodded.
"When the time comes, you ask the guys involved in brewing new wine to sign a confidentiality agreement, and if someone leaks the secret again, we will also have measures to deal with it."
Zhang Heng reminded.
"Don't worry, I won't make two mistakes in the same place"
Jiang Datong also thinks this method is very good.
In the evening, Zhang Heng and Master Li also went out to visit the lantern festival together, only to see rows of colored lanterns hanging on both sides of the road, reflecting the night as if it were day.
Master Li is also very happy now, not reaching out to touch the surrounding lanterns.
At this time, she looked at a lantern riddle on the lantern and said to Zhang Heng: "Do you know what this riddle is?" One large and two small, is an anagram. ”
Zhang Heng thought for a while and said, "It should be the word Nai." ”
"Really"
Master Li uncovered the mystery and found that it was indeed a Nai character.
"Hurry up, the riddle festival has begun."
At this moment, the people on the road ran one after another, for fear of being a step slower.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Heng said to Master Li: "What is this lantern riddle conference? ”
Master Li opened his mouth and said: "It's a charade in the competition, whoever guesses more wins." ”
Zhang Heng rubbed his chin and said, "Then there should be a reward!" ”
"Yes! I seem to have heard that the reward this time is a hosta. ”
Master Li replied.
"Then let's take a look."
Zhang Heng took her and followed the crowd towards the place where the lantern riddle was held.
