Cao Shuo originally let the merchants from Wancheng operate in the west of the city.

At first, Shang Jia was skeptical that he could do it.

After all, the most prosperous area of Xudu is not in the west of the city, and there used to be some shops here, but the business of the shops was very bleak.

Most of the shops in the west of the city have been opened, and businesses are open here.

In the first days, business was really bleak.

However, with the opening of several taverns, the business of other shops gradually improved.

The only thing that made Wancheng merchants not very satisfied was that they were not allowed to set foot in the most profitable taverns, and they could only watch those taverns come and go every day, and the business was endless.

took Wang Yan and others to the west of the city, and what attracted Cao Shuo's attention the most was a three-story wooden building.

From the outside, the small building and the moon building are the same height, but newer, it should be newly built.

"What's that?" Cao Shuo asked the guard.

"Lingyun Pavilion." The guard said: "The largest restaurant under the name of Childe. ”

"Our restaurant?" Cao Shuo confirmed that he had to ask.

"It's Childe's restaurant!" The guard replied.

"Who's taking care of it?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"Captain Sima specially invited the steward." The guard said: "There are many women from the Western Qiang, the Western Regions, Wuhuan and the Xiongnu here, and the business is very good. ”

"The great integration of nationalities!" Cao Shuo grinned: "If there are some Kunlun slaves, even the complexion will be complete." ”

The guard didn't say anything, but Wang Yan asked on the side: "Childe, what is Kunlun Nu?" ”

Cao Shuo was stunned when asked.

Only then did he react that the statement of Kunlun Nu did not appear until the Tang Dynasty.

During the Tang Dynasty, many people from Southeast Asia and Southwest Asia would be transported to the Central Plains as slaves.

Compared with the Chinese people, they have dark skin and are considered to be the unique mark of Kunlunnu.

Of course, at that time, there were still pure blacks who traveled long distances from Africa to the Central Plains, but there were relatively few.

For Cao Shuo, no matter how you calculate it, the Tang Dynasty is an era that is too far away to reach.

He once lived two thousand years later, and regarded the Tang Dynasty as history.

For him today, if history will continue to develop along the original route, the Tang Dynasty will be a dynasty that will appear four or five hundred years later.

In front of the Han Dynasty, talking about the affairs of the Tang Dynasty, of course, no one will understand.

What's more, Wang Yan has been living in the ancient tomb, and she knows even less about everything in the world.

"It's nothing, it's just nonsense!" Cao Shuo smiled: "It's not that you don't know, my son has only learned people, and he always likes to make some new terms when he has nothing to do." ”

Wang Yan rolled her eyes and said nothing.

Although she still doesn't understand many things, she can already hear that Cao Shuo is boasting.

Cao Shuo didn't enjoy it, and Shixing Dafa came out again: "It's hard to give up on yourself, and you can dominate the ten thousand years!" Such a talent is enough to overlook all living beings, and it makes Ben Gongzi feel so lonely! ”

The few guards who followed behind Cao Shuo also blinked at what he said.

One of them patted the ass and said: "What Childe said is that we have followed many generals and scholars, and we have never met anyone more coquettish than Childe!" ”

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, coquettish was not a derogatory term, and it was more unsurpassed by no one in ancient times.

But when the words were heard in the ears of Cao Shuo, who had a cognition after 2,000 years, he felt a little awkward.

He turned his head and grinned at the guards and asked, "You used to follow Cai Ji, right?" ”

"How does Childe know?" The guard asked, stunned.

"Except for Cai Ji, who can bring out the master who can pat the ass anytime and anywhere?" Cao Shuo said: "But don't learn from Cai Ji, his kung fu is getting worse and worse now, and he often slaps on the horse's legs." ”

"What Childe taught." The guard clasped his fists and replied: "I must practice sycophant kung fu diligently!" ”

Before Cao Shuo could speak, Wang Yan asked on the side: "Childe, are the soldiers you brought so shameless?" ”

"How can you say that?" Cao Shuo said seriously: "You have lived in the ancient tomb for too long, and you don't understand many things in the world. Sycophants are really a science, and people who don't know how to pat sycophants not only can't please their bosses, but even their partners can't please them, and it's difficult to achieve great things. If you want to get ahead, it's a compulsory course to be a sycophant! ”

Wang Yan rolled her eyes.

She always felt that what Cao Shuo said was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

The smart way is to ignore him first, and then ask Zhen Mi when you get home.

The girl in Lingyun Pavilion is much more expensive than other taverns.

Most of the people who came here were wealthy people and officials from the city of Xudu.

When Cao Shuo came, it was not a meal, but the business in the store was still booming.

"It's not a meal yet, why are there so many people?" Entering the store, Wang Yan asked in a low voice.

"You came to Lingyun Pavilion, you think it's all for food?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "They are trying to eat people." ”

"Cannibalism?" Wang Yan was stunned: "Xu Du still has such a barbaric thing? ”

Cao Shuo's head was full of black lines.

What he said about cannibalism and what Wang Yan thought about were not the same concept at all.

Cao Shuo is almost unknown in Xudu.

He entered the shop, and all the guests stood up and saluted.

The steward of Lingyun Pavilion trotted in front of him with a fat woman.

After the two of them saluted, the steward asked with a smiling face, "Why is Childe here?" ”

"I'll take a look!" Cao Shuo said: "Not only to see the girl, but also to see how your food is here." ”

"Why don't you open a private room for your son?" The steward said to the fat woman.

The fat woman responded, and ran to open a private room for Cao Shuo and others.

"She's in charge of the girls?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Hui Gongzi, if the guests who come choose a girl, it is better to talk to a woman than me." The steward lowered his head and said cautiously.

"That's right." Cao Shuo said: "I don't know anything about restaurant management, you can do it if you see how suitable." ”

The steward answered.

The fat woman didn't have long to leave and ran back.

She said to the steward, "The private room has been opened." ”

"Childe, please!" The steward stepped aside and respectfully invited Cao Shuo upstairs.

On the third floor, the steward led Cao Shuo to the brightest one, and said to Cao Shuo: "This private room is the best in Lingyun Pavilion, and it is generally not used by guests. ”

"If you don't give it to guests, what do you keep it for?" Cao Shuo asked.

Gently pushing open the window, the steward said to Cao Shuo: "Standing at the window, the scenery of Xudu is in full view, although it is not facing the street, you can see the pedestrians coming and going on the street, it is not noisy or noisy, the scenery is picturesque, unless the guests pay a high price, even if it is full, this private room will not be opened." ”

"Strange goods can live, profiteers have a face!" Cao Shuo said with a smile.

When he said this, the steward suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his spine, lowered his head and said, "If the son doesn't ......"

"I like it!" Cao Shuo interrupted him: "To do business, you have to be a profiteer!" No business, no treachery, no profit, you are a person who can get things done! ”
