Chapter 52: The Old Man

Xiyang City, Piaoxiang Pavilion, guests like clouds, this wine shop was established not too early, in the city of the wine shops are considered "backward", but the strength is the last, and even the famous Wuwei Zhai, vaguely about the head of Xiyang wine shop. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are many merchants who come and go to Xiyang City, and the taste is also very good.

Piaoxiang Pavilion's cooks are exquisite and proficient in many dishes, and the ingredients are exquisite and taste good, which has won the praise of many gluttons, so the business is booming.

Today, as in the past, the private room was full near noon, and the occupancy rate in the lobby had reached 70%, and the guys were very busy between the staggered schedules.

The shopkeeper of Piaoxiang Pavilion was not as red as before, and now this middle-aged man with a slightly chubby figure was fidgeting near a private room, and a special guest came today, so he had to do so.

"What does the treasurer command?"

A guy came sweating profusely and cautiously asked the shopkeeper of his own house who made a cameo appearance in "passing the dishes".

"There's no need for the wine, the one who brought the wine himself, hurry down."

"Yes."

The man came to the door of the private room, and under the watchful eyes of the two men guarding the door, he knocked lightly on the door and waited for the wine maid to open the door, and walked in cautiously.

"The grapes of Samarkan are really good, my father planted them in Huangzhou and used them to make wine, the flavor is really different, come, pour wine for the shopkeeper An!"

"Thank you Guogong for appreciating the wine, but An is disrespectful."

"Is Shopkeeper An still used to living on the edge of the Yangtze River?"

"I have worked hard and worried about the country, although the terroir in the south of the Yangtze River is different from that in the north, but An is fine."

Yu Wenwen is in a good mood today, it is rare to entertain guests outside, his own Wuwei Zhai is full, and he doesn't want to disturb Wang Yue and a group of merchants for closed-door talks, so he came to Piaoxiang Pavilion to book a private room to entertain the old people who came from afar.

Sogdian merchant, so Anturo, son of Sabaogara in the same state.

In the transaction nearly three years ago, the Anturo family sent a fleet from Shu to Xiyang City, Bazhou, and exchanged more than 100,000 pieces of grain for glass mirrors, but the ship came not only with food, but also from the Sui people who saved Yang Lihua, the princess of the Great Sui.

The conspiracy was foiled, but the copycat version of Yuwen Wen almost made the genuine Yuwen Wen "go berserk", and the mansion of the Duke of Yi went through a twist and turn, and his family was frightened by it, so someone had to pay for it.

It is clear that Anturo's family has nothing to do with this matter, and Anturo himself runs a business in Yecheng in the Zhou state, but his family is rooted in Tongzhou in Guanzhong and is a subject of the Sui state.

Without their help, it would be impossible for Yuwen Wen's father-in-law Yang Jian's people to enter Xiyang City, and in the face of Yuwen Wen's trouble, An Tuluo naturally wanted to give an explanation.

I can't help but give, Yuwenwen is the "nephew" of the Great Zhou clan, Yuwenliang of Daxingtai in Shannan Province, and his wife Yu Chi is the granddaughter of Yu Chi, the prime minister of Zhou State, and it is not a matter of words that can fool the past.

How the two sides finally reconciled, outsiders do not know, only that the Sogdian merchant Anturo in Yecheng continued to trade with the Duke of Yi in Shannan.

Between pushing the glass and changing the lamp, most of the self-brewed wine brought by Yuwenwen has been consumed, and after the warm-up, the content of the conversation turned to the main topic, and An Tuluo directly cut to the topic: "Guogong, the matter of exchange, An is indeed sincere." ”

"Currency exchange is naturally very convenient, for hundreds of years, Sogdian merchants have always had caravans doing business as far east as the Bohai Sea and west as Daqin, presumably there are similar means, but if outsiders want to get wet, it may not be..."

Without waiting for An Tuluo to speak, Yu Wenwen continued: "Of course, the purpose of this duke has always been to make a fortune together, and the shopkeeper An is interested, so of course we can talk about it, but this duke has not been caught, Yecheng is already the limit, and I can't open the semicolon to Samar to do it." ”

didn't say death, that is, there was a play, Anturo came this time to seize the opportunity to interview Yuwenwen, since the other party didn't cut him, then he had to stick it desperately.

"Guogong, what An means is that he wants to cooperate with Yecheng's shopkeeper Liu to make some guarantees for the funds of the Ruixing, so as not to make the merchants in Yecheng suspicious."

"I don't know if Shopkeeper An has any experience in Ge and Ma's business?"

"I have a lot of experience, I don't know what Guogong thinks?"

"Land transportation is very troublesome, especially the official road over the Dabie Mountain is rugged and difficult, and the cost of this back and forth freight increase will also go up."

"As far as An knows, the cloth sold by Ruixing and Huangzhou cloth merchants in Yecheng is still of high quality and low price." Speaking of this, Anturo added: "Especially all kinds of dyed cloths, which are really hot." ”

"If Shopkeeper An is interested, you can talk to Shopkeeper Wang, but Shopkeeper Wang's affairs are busy these days, and Shopkeeper An is afraid that he will have to see the river view for a few more days."

"Thank you."

It seems that the conversation is frivolous, but the two sides have reached a preliminary intention on the trade of kudzu, hemp and cloth, Yuwen Wen is relieved, and Anturo can go to Wang Yue to discuss specific matters.

The wine altar is at the bottom, and if the banquet is not dispersed, then it should be a variety of popular "activities", Yuwen Wen and An Tuluo left the private room one after another, and saw the shopkeeper Luo waiting outside, Yuwen Wen nodded:

"Shopkeeper Luo, the dishes in your store are good."

"Don't dare to be, the shop is still worse than Wuwei Zhai."

"Don't be so polite, my father is telling the truth, by the way, Shopkeeper An and his party have to do their best to live in your store."

Shopkeeper Luo couldn't help nodding yes, sent the distinguished guest away, and then led Anturo to the collapse, tossed for a round and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and asked people to bring clothes to help him change in.

"Shopkeeper, why did that one come to us? Also introduced a merchant to stay.,Ouch hey the first time I saw the shopkeeper of Na'an.,I thought it was a monster! ”

"That's why you don't know much! In Chang'an, Luoyang, and Yecheng, there are more Hu people with deep eyes and high noses! ”

Drinking a cup of tea to suppress the shock, the shopkeeper Luo made up his mind, Yu Wenwen, the prince of the country, has a wine shop under his name, although the shopkeeper Wang recently gathered a group of people to be busy with something in Wuwei Zhai, maybe Wuwei Zhai can't entertain him, but Yu Wenwen introduced business to other wine shops, which is really unexpected.

Under the guise of greeting competitors in their own industry, there is no one to do this?

"The shopkeeper and the people accompanying him, you have to entertain well, be careful, this is a wealthy businessman from Yecheng, who has seen the world, not an old farmer from the countryside!"

"Yes."

After carefully instructing all kinds of precautions, Shopkeeper Luo looked at the account book, Piaoxiang Pavilion business was booming, and the income of him and his guys naturally rose, all thanks to the increasingly prosperous goods in Xiyang City.

Of course, thanks to Gongyu Wenwen of the Kingdom of Yi, he raised his noble hand and did not eat alone.

Li Fang and others, who followed Yuwenwen, naturally made a lot of money, and merchants like Shopkeeper Luo, as long as they didn't go against Yuwenwen, they didn't need to give some benefits or "meaning", they could directly make money with their abilities, and the government would not secretly stumble.

Making a fortune together is not just talking, of course, provided that you don't get in the way.

Four years ago, on Chinese New Year's Eve, a large number were killed, and another batch was killed not long ago, who else will stand in the way? Who dares to stand in the way? (To be continued.) )
