Chapter 14 Restaurant

The layout of Xijing was strict and orderly, and merchants could only gather in the western market, which was a gathering place for various handicrafts. If you want to make money, you must first understand the merchants in Xijing, and for Lin Yuan to make money quickly, he must be surprised, and making money is too slow. But the premise is to make money legally.

At present, the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty is still controlled by the big clans, and as for the nobles who divide power like themselves, they are naturally a thorn in their eyes, and they are the primary target, and they can't do such a thing as bullying and dominating the market.

Looking at the bustling crowd, the endless street was full of shops on both sides, and the shouts not far away made Lin Yuan deeply feel the prosperity of Xijing.

"There are so many people, much stronger than the business market in Jinju." Yu Shi sighed, when did he see such a bustling street in Jinju, no wonder his father kept letting him come out. Sure enough, it was an eye-opener.

"The imperial capital of Kyushu is by no means just a matter of listening to the fame." After walking a lot, Lin Yuan felt that the current Xijing was no worse than the capital depicted in the Qingming Shanghe map in his previous life, and turned to look at Yu Shi, who was following him: "Did you bring the money?" ”

"Bring it, grandpa."

"Don't you say it? Call me young master. Am I that old? Lin Yuan really doesn't like the word grandfather.

"Yes, young master." Yu Shi hurriedly corrected it, the young master is good, but sometimes habits are unacceptable.

While walking and observing the pedestrians on the roadside, Lin Yuan even saw the existence of many costumes slightly different from those of the Zhou people, and only after asking the world did he know that it was the Southern Jin Dynasty, a neighbor in the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Xishi is regarded as the commercial concentration of Xijing. There are many kinds of shops, but they are still dominated by restaurants and restaurants, after all, in today's Da Zhou, in Lin Yuan's view, the main pastime is food and green buildings.

After turning around for a while, Lin Yuan was a little disappointed. It's not that they haven't found a way to make money, but there are a lot of ways to make money, but they all require long-term investment.

And I really don't have so much time to do it slowly, seeing that it is about to enter winter, I have seen a few grain stores, and many stores have begun to increase prices.

"Let's go, let's find something to eat first." Lin Yuan needed to change his mind, and besides, he only drank a bowl of porridge during the day, and he was really hungry until now.

Seeing that Lin Yuan's interest was not high, Yu Shi didn't dare to talk much. Lead the way ahead. Before Yu Shi, I paid attention to a restaurant, there are many restaurants on Xishi Street, all of which are crowded with people, and there are few quiet places. Only this one is a little special, I didn't see a few guests, the young master likes to be quiet, look at the restaurant for some years, if the food is not good, it will close eight times in the West Market. Yu Shi didn't hesitate to bring Lin Yuan here.

"Luoxian Tower? Who came up with this name? Lin Yuan frowned and looked at the deserted restaurant in front of him, the style of painting was incompatible with the prosperity of the West Market, and turned his head to look at Yu Shi, his eyes were asking why he came here.

"Young master, it's quiet here." Yu Shi saw Lin Yuan's slightly inquiring eyes and replied.

I looked at a few restaurants nearby, and I really couldn't calm down. Shook his head helplessly, it seems that it is really not suitable to go out today.

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look." Lin Yuan took the lead in entering the restaurant, but the scene in front of him still surprised him, this is deserted, it is simply no people, and there is no one in the huge front hall.

"Is it noon? Didn't get your meal? Lin Yuan turned around and asked.

Yu Shi was a little embarrassed, he just felt cold, but he didn't expect that there was not a single guest in this restaurant, obviously it was the problem of this restaurant, "The subordinates are negligent, young master, let's change it." ”

"Forget it, just deal with it. There are too many people in other places. Lin Yuan waved his hand.

Seeing the entry of the guests, the shopkeeper was a little excited, since the government was lifted, there have been no guests in the store for nearly half a month. Now it's time to open. But just as he was about to walk in, he heard the strong man say that he wanted to change it, and the shopkeeper's heart instantly cooled. But in an instant, there was a heat, the young master said that he was too lazy to change, although he heard the disappointment between the words, but it was good to stay, Luoxian Lou did not say that in the entire imperial capital, it was in this West City, and it was also the top in the past, if something didn't happen, how could it be so down.

"Guests look at the menu first, and what needs to be used needs to be instructed by you." The shopkeeper handed the menu to Lin Yuan, but saw that he didn't look at it, but only heard Lin Yuan say: "Come to a few light ones, you don't need wine, come to a pot of tea." ”

"Okay, wait a minute." The shopkeeper bowed down and went downstairs, looking at the crowd flowing outside the building, although it was winter, there were still many people on the street, feeling slightly warm, Lin Yuan took off his coat, and Yu Shi reminded when he saw this: "Young master, it's cold, be careful of cold." If they feel hot, their subordinates just ask them to remove a brazier. "It's impossible to close the windows, but it's a bit hot in the house.

After listening to Yu Shi's reminder, Lin Yuan noticed that there were several braziers placed next to the table, looking at the charcoal fire in the basin, Lin Yuan was curious: "Has this brazier been burning charcoal?" ”

"Carbon?" Yu Shi looked at the burning brazier and thought that the young master was referring to the burning stone in the basin. Nodding his head, he said, "It's true that the burning stone is cheap, but it's not good to have too many braziers." Too many that are easily poisoned. ”

It is easy to be poisoned, it seems that this burning stone is the carbon of the previous life, the room is closed at night, and it is not easy to discharge the exhaust gas when the charcoal burns, and it will indeed kill people. "Is there only a brazier for heating in this winter?"

I saw Yu Shi shaking his head and saying: "Braziers are not used in some large households, and I heard that many large families in the imperial capital use firewood and firewood. ”

When Lin Yuan heard this, his eyes lit up, and an idea to make money flashed, and only big families used it, which shows that many people are still using braziers, which are not perfect tools to keep warm, and the market is not small.

With the idea of making money, Lin Yuan's mood also improved, and the meal came up just in time, looking at the exquisite plating, the food didn't smell like he thought, he picked up the chopsticks and put them in his mouth, he couldn't help but nodded, the taste was light and refreshing, and when he saw that the guests were satisfied, the shopkeeper was also happy.

"This dish is good, light and refreshing, and the food is fresh, but why is there no customer in this store." Listening to Lin Yuan's questioning, the shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "A few months ago, something happened in the store, and half a month ago, the government withdrew the notice to close the store, and the guests in the past did not dare to come." Truth be told, you're the first guest in this half a month. ”

"What's wrong, even if the store is closed, now that the closure has been lifted, no one dares to come?" Lin Yuan said curiously.

"This..."The shopkeeper was speechless for a while, not knowing how to reply.

"Because he has offended someone who should not be offended." Hearing the voice behind him, the shopkeeper hurriedly turned around and said, "Uncle Li." ”

Lin Yuan looked over and saw a middle-aged man holding a plate of snacks in his hand. Putting the dim sum in his hand on the table, Li Xiandao glanced at the shopkeeper: "You go down first." Just have me here. ”

Watching Xiao Er go downstairs, Li Xiandao looked at Lin Yuan, looked up and down and said, "Xiao Er doesn't understand the rules, I apologize to the distinguished guest here." In Xia Li Xian Road, the old merchants on this street all call me Uncle Li. ”

Lin Yuan didn't nod or answer, he picked up a small piece of dim sum from the plate and put it in his mouth, the entrance was extremely crispy, sweet but not greasy, Lin Yuan was very satisfied. Seeing that Lin Yuan was happy to eat, Li Xiandao looked at Lin Yuan with a smile: "Is this dish still in line with the taste of your guests?" ”

"The dish is good, I like this dim sum, what's the name?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Ichihe." Hearing this, Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, remembered an allusion about this snack, shook his head and chuckled: "This name is interesting." ”

"Please tell Childe, I don't know what's interesting?" Li Xiandao was a little puzzled.

"One person has a mouthful of crisp." After listening to Lin Yuan's explanation, Li Xiandao said with a smile: "Childe Miaoren, this name does have this reason, when the old shopkeeper made this dim sum for Miss, because of its small shape, it can be entered in the whole piece, and the entrance is soft, so it was named." ”

"Your owner seems to love his daughter." Lin Yuan said. After saying this, he saw Li Xiandao's face gloomy, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that you said something wrong?" ”

"No, no, it's just that I think of the old shopkeeper and feel something." Li Xiandao smiled bitterly.

"It's abrupt, I hope you'll forgive me. In the world, we will account, let's go back. Lin Yuan got up and walked downstairs. Seeing Lin Yuan get up and walk out, Li Xiandao was stunned for a moment, a little anxious, this person is gone, what should I do next. Just raised his hand and was about to call someone, at this time Lin Yuan turned around and said, "The food here is good, leave me a private room to come out, and I will come back in the future." ”

Hearing this, Li Xiandao was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "No problem, the number of days will be left to you." Lin Yuan nodded, turned around and walked out of the Luoxian Tower.

"Who is this man? Uncle Li, you go up to the pole and pull him. The shopkeeper said curiously.

"I don't know, but this person's background should not be low, we Luoxianlou is helpless at the moment, I feel that this person may be a big help for us. Vacate the Tianzi number for this noble man to keep. After the order, Li Xiandao turned around and went out. Before, he noticed that Yu Shi beside Lin Yuan was not a simple guard, he was born in the military, and even Lin Yuan also had an indescribable momentum.

It is with the fact that Lin Yuan can enter this restaurant today and go out safely, there will be a headache for the people who deal with him, and he has to hold this thigh. But Li Xiandao thought wrong this time, the person who dealt with him did not come today, perhaps because he felt that there was no one in Beijing who dared to come without opening his eyes.

On the street, Yu Shi looked at Lin Yuan curiously and said, "Why did the young master let Luoxian Lou leave a place to come out?" Are you really going to eat here often? ”

"Well, the food here is good, and it's good to come and change the taste from time to time." Lin Yuan nodded and said, seeing that Yu Shi was still a little puzzled, he could only say: "He has a request for me, so let's not talk about this matter for the time being." Let's go back to the house first, thinking that Uncle Lin should come back from Zhuangzi. ”

Glancing at the deserted Luoxian Tower, Lin Yuan shook his head with a smile and slowly walked back in the direction of the Guogong Mansion.
