Chai into the opening of the restaurant called Chai family building, although the building is not tall, but the interior decoration is more exquisite, the price of meals is OK, but it is also medium consumption, the coolies working in the factory are not willing to come, the hotel is mainly faced with the salt merchants, salt barons and other rich masters.

Chai Jin personally greeted him at the door, and the distance was so happy that he said: "Brother, you are here, let's go, go upstairs." ”

Chai Jin took Chao Gai's hand and beckoned Zhu Wu, Shi Jin and others to go upstairs.

When everyone entered the store, they found that it was really good, there were ten round tables in the hall, which seemed to be very spacious and bright, and on the second floor were six private rooms, separated by high-grade wood. Chao Gai said: "Your restaurant is good, but this place is so desolate that you can have business?" ”

Chai Jin said with a smile: "Business is quite good, there are few people in the hall, but the private room on the second floor is basically empty, just those merchants who come to the salt field to buy goods are enough for me to maintain this shop." ”

"You're getting better and better at business." Chao Gai praised.

Chai Jin was very happy and said, "Thank you brother for the compliment, thank you brother for your support." ”

Chai Jin said and introduced everyone into the private room, and the guests and hosts sat down, Chai Jin said: "Thank you brother for what happened last time." Chai Jin was referring to Chao Gai's rescue of him, which most people didn't know.

Chao Gai said: "Don't worry about small things, let's talk about some serious things before dinner." ”

Chai Jin saw that Chao Gai said something serious, let people close the door of the private room, and did not let Xiao Er serve food, Chai Jin said: "Brother has something to say, just tell me." ”

"You also saw the trade city I built in Yuncheng, how do you feel?" Chao Gai asked.

Chai Jin said: "It feels great, four or five hundred shops, and the annual rent alone is a lot of income." ”

"I'll show you the way, this Yanshan Village has a lot of potential for development, why don't you go further, build Yanshan into Yanshan Town, expand the streets and build about 200 stores, and then build a wall around it, this town will be managed by you, wouldn't it be much better than your Chaijia Village." Chao Gai said.

Chai Jin clicked his mouth: "It seems that my brother is still powerful, I am still complacent about this small hotel, and my brother already wants to build this place into a city." It's just to build a town, even if it's a town with only two or three hundred merchants, which costs a lot, and today's Chai family is no longer the original Chai family, where can you take out so much silver. ”

Chao Gai smiled silently, and Zhu Wu said next to him: "As long as you want to do it, there are always more ways than difficulties, Li Ying and Li have a lot of financial resources, you can join forces to do it, anyway, you have shares in the salt farm, and you can't eat up the shares every year." Besides, you don't necessarily have to pay for the construction of shops, with the influence of your Chai Daguan in Cangzhou, you say that there must be small businessmen willing to follow the development potential here, you plan the drawings, build a pretty much, let them pay the rent to book, so as to solve the problem of start-up capital. ”

Chai Jin is right to think about it, this year has already divided tens of thousands of shares, wouldn't it be more next year, it is a very fulfilling thing to be able to build a town of his own like Zengtou City, just the rent of the shop is a lot every year, count the money to the hand cramps.

Chai Jin immediately got up and bowed: "Thank you brother for mentioning it." ”

Chao Gai waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, I Chao Gai can't do all the business in the world, and if there is business, everyone has to do it together." ”

After talking about business, Chai Jin asked Xiao Er to serve the food, and soon the wine and food were ready, and everyone pushed the cups and changed the glasses to eat. Shi Jin, Luo Yun and others said that it was delicious, there was a chef in Chai's house, Chai Jin said, this is the descendant of the previous imperial chef, can it be delicious.

Everyone was eating happily when they heard a noisy voice downstairs, and a domineering voice said: "Straight lady thief, dare to let us eat in the hall, we are from Tokyo." ”

Xiao Er said with a smile: "Everyone is angry, there are few private rooms upstairs, but now they are all full, everyone is eating, and they must not be let out." ”

"Then I don't care, this is our prefect, hurry up and tidy up the private room, if we can't get it, we will go up and drive people out ourselves." It's humane.

Xiao Er said: "This is definitely not good, without this rule, how can the hotel catch up with guests." ”

The man was angry and slapped Xiao Er's face with a snap, and Xiao Er staggered, covering his hot face.

Chai Jin frowned, I didn't expect someone to make trouble, the Chai family is a figure with a face in Cangzhou, and it is definitely not a cat or a dog who dares to provoke.

Everyone pushed open the window and saw that it was no one else, it was really a narrow road, it was the group of six people who had just met on the road, and I don't know who beat them, two of them were wearing cavalry clothes with blue noses and swollen faces, thinking that they should have broken into the salt field and let the salt field guards clean it up.

There is a person who looks like a master next to Gao Lian, this person is the most arrogant, and he scolds people there. The shopkeeper who beat the shopkeeper came out to appease, and when he asked, it was the prefect of Gaotang Prefecture, and the shopkeeper immediately said: "It's all the little two who are wrong, they can't speak, I will make amends to a few of you, but today's situation is indeed a little special, the upstairs private room is full, and a few people will be wronged to eat in the hall, and the store will treat you without receiving a penny." ”

It stands to reason that this is not very good, but Gao Lian was on fire in his stomach and scolded: "Don't let you go to a salt farm, you haven't had a private room for a meal, this Cangzhou is really a bad place, and your broken shop is not authentic." ”

The shopkeeper was also on fire: "You are the prefect of Gaotang Prefecture, you can't control Cangzhou, toast without eating and drinking, if you want to eat, stay in the hall, and leave if you don't want to eat." ”

Gao Lian's face was dark, his breath was short, the small universe exploded, and he immediately said: "Smash, smash, smash this store for me, I have something to bear." ”

Gao Lian and his party were six people, in addition to Gao Lian and the master, there were two cavalrymen and two bodyguards. The four of them are all new forces, pick up the chairs and smash the store, and the pot is boiled in the crackling hall.

Chai Jin's face became more and more unsightly, and he hugged his fists at Chao Gai and said, "Brother, I'll go down to deal with some things, and I'll come up in a while." ”

Chao Gai said: "Okay, let me know if you need help." ”

Chai Jin said and went downstairs out of the private room, and called out dozens of elite Zhuang Ding in the backyard with an order, and said: "Give me a hard beat of these bold fanatics, and dare to come to Chai's house to spread wild." ”

These Zhuang Ding are all Chai into the village, every day Chai into the good food and drink for the offering, strong like a little tiger, did not take a weapon, each hand a black locust pickaxe, this meal is very intense. Don't look at Gao Lian and the others, there are only six people, but there are two masters, that is, Gao Lian's two bodyguards, who are quite skilled, and they snatched a wooden stick with their hands, and they entered a wolf-like battle. But the two cavalrymen didn't have such good skills, so they let Zhuang Ke's wooden stick hit the crook of the leg and turned to the ground one by one, and nearly thirty people besieged Gao Lian's two bodyguards with all their might, no matter how high his martial arts were, he couldn't bear it, and he fainted on the spot with a stick in the back of his head without paying attention. Only Gao Lian and his master are left.

Gao Lian trembled all over, and said: "You are going to rebel, dare to attack the court officials." ”

Chai Jin scolded: "You are also worthy of the four words of the imperial court, you are a street ruffian, you dare to beat people indiscriminately without a private room for a meal, and the shopkeeper does not agree to comfort him in every way, how can this be true, there is no royal law in the world?" ”

"You, you, you." Gao Lian pointed at Chai Jin and was speechless.

Although Chai Jin was angry, he did not lose his mind, and did not beat Gao Lian and his master, and said, "Invite them out for me, they will never be welcome." ”

Zhuang Ding invited the six people out, and then worked together to clean up the mess. Chai Jin came back and hugged his fists and said, "I'm sorry, I dealt with something just now." ”

Then everyone sat down anew, Chao Gai said: "I think Gao Lian is a narrow-minded person, and he will definitely take revenge in the future, they went to the salt field just now, and it is hard to guarantee that they do not want to fight the salt field." ”

Chai Jin looked around, there were no outsiders, stretched out his hand to make a head-killing action, and said: "If you don't do it, it's better for us to click these six people, so as not to cause endless trouble in the future." ”

Chai Jin was ruthless enough, which made Chao Gai startled, and said: "I also thought about it, but it is very inappropriate, Gao Lian is the prefect, and the court will definitely go all out to track him down, and it will be easy to find us, so don't mention this matter again." Gao Yu has recently ascended to power, his power is unstable, and Gao Lian has not yet taken office, not to mention that he is far away in Gaotang Prefecture, as long as we are careful, we are not afraid of him. ”

Chai Jin said: "That's what I said, drink and eat." ”

Everyone drank and ate, and Chai Jin kept chatting with Chao Gai about some business and martial arts until ten o'clock in the evening. Chai Jinliu said: "You guys will stay in this restaurant tonight, it's not safe to go back at night." ”

Zhu Wu said: "Brother Duo Laochai is worried, there are 30 soldiers who came to send the patient here today, and they just happened to go back together." ”

Chai Jin also didn't hold on anymore, Chao Gai and a group of five people returned to the inn, and gathered the thirty soldiers led by Yang Chun, who was sending the patient, and the group hurried back by the moonlight.

The cold wind of late autumn swished, and the occasional night owl chirped.

Zhu Wudao: "Brother, it's not a good thing to offend a prefect, as the saying goes, it is good to lose the county order, and the prefect who destroys the door, we have to guard against it." ”

Chao Gai nodded, carefully recalled the things about Gao Lian in the Water Margin, Gao Lian trained a firefighter in Gao Tangzhou, it is said to be a demon fire, and the soldiers who have repeatedly defeated Song Jiang are actually a kind of oil that should be preliminarily made of oil after smelting, it is difficult to extinguish when ignited, and it is difficult to extinguish it with water, and the people are ignorant and mistakenly think it is a demon fire.

Chao Gai immediately asked, "Where is there black water nearby, it has a pungent smell, and it can be burned." ”

Zhu Wu didn't know why Chao Gai suddenly asked this, thought about it, shook his head and said: "I really don't know this, although I have been in the salt factory for a long time, but I have never gone out to walk around, it is better to go back to the salt field to find a few local workers who grew up to ask." ”

Chao Gai said: "This is very good, let's go, let's go back quickly, the wind is really cold at night." ”
