Since Cao Shuo set out to develop the west of the city.

The business circle of Xudu City has undergone great changes.

The old streets, which used to be noisy, have a lot fewer mobile customers.

On the contrary, the west of the city, which was originally cold, is now full of people, and even foreign merchants are mostly gathered here.

Coming to the west of the city with Wang Yan, Cao Shuo saw the endless guests coming and going at the door of Lingyun Pavilion from afar.

Before the meal arrived, some guests were already queuing up outside the door.

"Lingyun Pavilion's business seems to be much better than before." Wang Yan said.

"Of course." Cao Shuo grinned: "With my guidance, it's difficult for them to think about business well." ”

Wang Yan smiled.

Although simple, she still knows Cao Shuo very well.

As long as he praises him a few words, Cao Shuo will definitely climb up the pole.

In order not to listen to his boasting, Wang Yan chose to remain silent.

The original Lingyun Pavilion has many shops next to it.

When he came to the west of the city this time, Cao Shuo found that the shops were closed, and some of the shops had a big word "demolition" written on the door.

"What's wrong with these shops?" Wang Yan asked.

"It may be that Lingyun Pavilion bought them." Cao Shuo said: "I was planning to tear down all of them and build new shops. ”

"Lingyun Pavilion is getting bigger and bigger." Wang Yan said: "I really don't understand what it is so good about attracting so many guests. ”

"Would you like to go in and have a look?" Cao Shuo asked with a smile.

"Forget it!" Wang Yan said: "Last time I came here with my son, although I don't know what you are doing, I don't think it will be a good thing!" ”

"Since you don't want to go in, I'll ask them to buy a few dishes from here and send them to the house, so that you can taste them too." Cao Shuo said: "Lingyun Pavilion's business is so good, it has a lot to do with their dishes. ”

Wang Yan pursed her lips, obviously not believing what Cao Shuo said.

"You go and tell the steward of Lingyun Pavilion and ask him to prepare a few dishes and send them to me." Seeing that she didn't believe it, Cao Shuo gave orders to one of the guards behind him.

The guards responded and ran towards Lingyun Pavilion.

Cao Shuo took Wang Yan's hand: "There are a few shops selling silk in front, let's go over and take a look." ”

Wang Yan was used to having her little hands held by him.

She didn't have any struggle or discomfort, and followed Cao Shuo to a few silk shops not far away.

In Xudu City, there are really not many people who don't know Cao Shuo.

As soon as he took Wang Yan into the store, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile on his face: "Childe is here!" ”

"I'll see if there's any good silk." Cao Shuo said: "Buy a few horses and go back and make a few new clothes for the ladies." ”

Childe laughed. The shopkeeper said flatteringly: "Can the Cao family still lack silk? ”

"Most of the silk of the Cao family is produced locally in Yuzhou." Cao Shuo said: "The silk is too coarse, I want to ask if there is any silk from Shu and Jiangdong." ”

"Childe is really a person who understands silk." The shopkeeper said: "The small shop really has new Jiangdong silk. ”

The so-called Jiangdong silk is the predecessor of Suzhou embroidery.

Its silk is delicate, smooth and soft, and it is very popular with noble women.

"Grab a few and I'll take a look!" Cao Shuo said.

"Is Childe going to be dyed or not?" The shopkeeper asked.

"To make clothes, of course, you have to dye them." Cao Shuo said: "But the color must be dyed evenly, don't show me the kind of flowers that are white." ”

"Whoever you coax, I don't dare to coax my son!" The shopkeeper answered, and beckoned the guy to go to the back hall with him to choose silk for Cao Shuo.

On the walls of the store, there are many silk samples, which are very beautiful.

Wang Yan asked: "There is silk here, why didn't the son choose it?" ”

"There are rules for doing business." Cao Shuo said: "The bottom of the pressure box is the best, and what you look at from the outside is just an ordinary product." ”

Wang Yan didn't ask any more.

She believes that what Cao Shuo said must be reasonable.

In her opinion, Cao Shuo is the smartest person in the world.

Slightly inferior to him is Zhen Mi.

After a while, the shopkeeper and his men walked out with more than ten rolls of silk samples.

"Childe, these are Jiangdong silks!" The shopkeeper said, "What do you want?" ”

Looking at the silk, Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "You are so unpopular here?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned: "Gongzi Mingjian, these are all fine silks, and there is nothing better than them in Xudu City." ”

"Those who do business will brag about themselves!" Cao Shuo said: "I don't like these, take out the best in your store." ”

"Childe ......" the shopkeeper said with a bitter face: "These are really the best ......"

"Why don't I feel good enough?" Cao Shuo said: "Look at the texture of silk, how much is the difference between it and our Yuzhou products? Such a rough Jiangdong silk, you dare to tell me that it is the best? ”

"Childe is really joking." The shopkeeper said: "You look at the silk, how delicate, look at this dyeing, there is no variegation at all." These were sent by Jiangdong merchants a few days ago, and they were gone after they were sold. ”

"What's the price?" Cao Shuo asked.

"One penny, one horse." The shopkeeper replied timidly.

"So expensive?" Cao Shuo glared.

The shopkeeper Ji Lingling shuddered: "If the son is too expensive, it is okay to hang it half-way......"

"I knew you profiteers made a lot of money." Cao Shuo asked Wang Yan, "Do you have any favorites?" ”

Living alone for many years, Wang Yan has no concept of money.

She didn't shirk it, and concentrated on choosing silk.

At this moment, a guard entered the store and leaned into Cao Shuo's ear and said something.

The corners of Cao Shuo's mouth hooked up a smile and beckoned to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper came over.

Cao Shuo asked in a low voice, "Do you want to make more money?" ”

"Childe is willing to reward, how can I not want it." The shopkeeper bent his waist and said, "It's just that I don't dare to ......."

"There's nothing that doesn't make money in business." Cao Shuo said solemnly: "Do you think this son looks like that kind of bully who pits people? ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly shook his head.

"I'll tell you, I didn't bring any money today." Cao Shuo said: "After a while, Yuzhou Mu will come over, if he asks about the price of silk, you will tell him two dollars a horse." I'll bargain with you, and you'll sell it to me as soon as you hang it. When he leaves, we will divide the account between four and six, and I will divide the account between you and you. This son is kind, right? ”

The shopkeeper was stunned.

No wonder Cao Shuo mentioned that he wanted him to earn more, it turned out that he wanted to pit Yuzhou Mu with him!

"To do it or not to do it?" Cao Shuo glared and asked.

"! Dry! The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "The son has given him a chance to make a fortune, how can I not want it!" ”

Smiling and patting his arm, Cao Shuo said to Wang Yan: "Pick well, pick more." You and Zhen Ji will each pick at least ten horses! ”

Wang Yan nodded and silently selected silk.

Cao Shuo was watching Wang Yan choose, and Liu Bei walked in with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Seeing Cao Shuo, Liu Bei bowed his hand and saluted: "Gongzi is also here, what a coincidence!" ”

Cao Shuo hurriedly returned the salute and asked very enthusiastically: "You also come to choose silk?" ”
