If you want to say where the most popular and prosperous place in Hangzhou is, it is undoubtedly Qinghefang, which has a history of more than 1,000 years.

There are all kinds of time-honored brands on both sides of Qinghefang Street, selling fans, selling tea, selling all kinds of snacks, but almost everything you can think of is sold here, of course, the housing prices in such a location are naturally daunting to ordinary people.

And in the middle of Qinghefang, there is a grocery store covering an area of hundreds of square meters, the popularity of this shop is very high, whether it is dignitaries or ordinary people who have nothing to do on weekdays, they like to come here to shop and hang out, because there are not only the most fashionable and trendy interesting things in the Ming Dynasty, but also a variety of precious and rare things, so that people of all walks of life can buy their favorite things here.

It is said that to be able to open such a large shop here that makes money every day, such a hen that lays eggs should be subjected to countless greedy eyes, but in fact, from the opening of this shop a few years ago to the present, this shop has been very calm, rarely encountering any trouble, even if occasionally someone comes to fight the autumn breeze, it is also some small gangsters who are not long-eyed, and they were quickly leveled by the shopkeeper of the store, as for those who have the strength to ignore this shop.

The reason why this is so is because the plaque of this store has a line of black bold letters, Daming Royal Commercial Bank Hangzhou Branch.

Today, under the escort of Song Ye and dozens of family members, Yang Feng came to this store in casual clothes and hiddenly, and the shopkeeper who had already received the news was waiting at the door of the store and respectfully welcomed Yang Feng into the store.

The shopkeeper of this shop is a middle-aged man in his thirties surnamed Qin, who is very shrewd and capable.

He came to the Daming Royal Commercial House four years ago, and was sent to Hangzhou two years ago as the shopkeeper of this shop, and in the past two years, the business of this shop has been very prosperous under his care, and it is very appreciated by the various big shopkeepers of the headquarters in Nanjing, if there is no accident, after his term of office in Hangzhou expires next year, he will be transferred to the headquarters to hold important positions.

Yang Feng walked around the store accompanied by the shopkeeper, and nodded with satisfaction when he saw the endless flow of customers shuttling in the store and the customers who kept coming to pay the money: "Shopkeeper, you are doing a good job, and the customer flow is very considerable." ”

Shopkeeper Qin nodded and said: "Thanks to the goods provided by the owner and the gold-lettered signboard of the Daming Royal Commercial Bank, otherwise where would there be such a prosperous business, otherwise it would have been swallowed by those tigers and wolves around you, and there would be no bones left." ”

"Yo, I didn't expect the shopkeeper Qin to see it very clearly." Yang Feng patted him on the shoulder, "It seems that it was right to transfer you to Hangzhou Mansion at the beginning, and you have been trained in the past few years." ”

"It's all thanks to the owner's cultivation."

"Alright, let's go in and sit down, and by the way, bring me the ledger."

"Yes, the villain will immediately send someone to get the account book for you to see."

After more than an hour, Yang Feng closed the account book and nodded slowly: "The accounts are basically correct, which is enough to show that you have worked hard in the past two years." That's good, I'm in charge, your dividend this year will be added to five hundred taels, which can be regarded as a compliment from the Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Xie Dong's reward." Shopkeeper Qin happily bowed down to Yang Feng.

Subsequently, Yang Feng asked the shopkeeper Qin about some things, and told him some things before he was ready to leave, but he was stopped by the shopkeeper Qin.

Shopkeeper Qin hesitated for a moment before saying, "Owner, there is something that the villain doesn't know if he should tell you." ”

Looking at the shopkeeper Qin, who wanted to speak again and again, Yang Feng said with some displeasure: "If you have something, just say it, when did you become such a mother-in-law." ”

"Yes!"

Shopkeeper Qin hurriedly responded, and said in a low voice: "Boss, that's the case, yesterday the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce sent someone to send an invitation, saying that it was holding an Oiran contest in West Lake today, and I specially invited you to participate, I hope you will enjoy your face." ”

"Oiran contest?" Yang Feng frowned, "What kind of messy thing, an Oiran contest also came to invite Bengong to participate, or do you think Bengong is too idle?" Don't go! ”

Seeing that Yang Feng was about to leave, the shopkeeper Qin hurriedly said: "The owner, this is not an ordinary Oiran competition, this is a triennial grand occasion in Hangzhou Mansion, not only the local Qing people in Hangzhou Mansion participated, but even many famous Qing people in the entire Jiangnan will come to cheer, it can be described as an unprecedented grand occasion, if you come to Hangzhou Mansion, it will be a pity if you can't witness this grand occasion with your own eyes." ”

"Huh...... Is it unprecedented? ”

Two quarters of an hour later, Yang Feng, who had returned to the barracks, sat on a chair and was silent for a long time when he looked at the invitation card made of fine porcelain blue paper in his hand and the font written by a famous artist on it.

Song Ye stood behind Yang Feng, saw Yang Feng pondering for a long time about this invitation, and couldn't help but say: "Grandpa Guo, it's just an invitation card, why do you have to think about it for so long, you can go if you want to, just push it if you don't want to, why are you so embarrassed?" ”

"Huh...... You're free-spirited. ”

Yang Feng smiled, threw the invitation card on the table, and asked with interest: "Then tell me, should my father-in-law go?" ”

"This ......" Song Ye scratched his head, "The villain doesn't dare to talk nonsense, but we have been fighting for so long during this time, and it is also appropriate to go out and relax." Didn't you also say that the way of civil and military affairs is one by one? ”

"Huh...... You even know the way of civil and martial arts, it seems that it is a condescension to let you be a little family leader by your father's side. But you have a point, and it's okay to go out and relax once in a while. Yang Feng turned his head to look outside the house, but his gaze seemed a little meaningful......

Early the next morning, the city of Hangzhou began to be lively, especially in the West Lake area, there are crowds, countless people with their families and mouths are rushing to the West Lake, because it is said that today it is Hangzhou Mansion, Songjiang Mansion and Shaoxing Mansion and other famous Qing people have come, in order to compete for the title of Oiran.

Don't underestimate the title of this Oiran, once anyone gets this title, even if they are unknown, with this title, everyone will know about it, and their worth will skyrocket.

At noon, Yang Feng also came to the West Lake lightly, and immediately someone invited him to get on a painting boat, when Yang Feng stepped into the painting boat, an old man in his eighties had already brought dozens of businessmen to greet him.

The old man smiled and arched his hand: "Grandpa Guo is here, the old man is very honored, today the old man only welcomes the grandfather on behalf of the colleagues of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, I wish you good luck and health!" ”

"You are ......"

Yang Feng hesitated for a moment, and someone next to him introduced: "This is Peng Shouli, the president of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the former right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Lang Qingshangong." ”

"Oh...... It turned out to be the face of the Duke of Qingshan, and the Duke was polite. Yang Feng arched his hand.

"Grandpa Guo has won the award."

Peng Shouli spread his hands, "Come, my father will introduce you, this is Bai Youfeng, the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, this is the famous squire Deng Hui, and this is ......."

After a period of introductions, everyone took their seats one after another.
