Chapter Ninety-Five: The End of the Business War (1)
Li Yanqi and Bu San came with curiosity, and after watching Mo Fei and Yaya's training, they left with a shocked heart.
And Mo Fei and Yaya, who were at the bottom of the waterfall, didn't know that after the two of them trained until they were exhausted, they stopped and walked towards Chang'an. Back to the first page of the book, the two of them will finish washing, and Li Yanqi will send someone over and ask Mo Fei and Yaya to go to Tianxianglou for a talk.
During this time, Mo Fei and Li Yanqi often met because of the matter of the second prince, and they were used to it. What's more, the next meeting has ended, so he gladly agreed.
……
At the same time, outside the tea ceremony shop.
The door is like a city.
Although there were many people who came to the meeting and witnessed the situation of the entire meeting. After that, everyone rushed to tell each other, and the situation of the Wenhui was already known to everyone. However, the word of mouth of these people, the speaker is boring, and the lack of interest in listening to it does not mean much.
But the storyteller's bamboo plank, coupled with the rendering and accentuation of various musical instruments, as well as the rap of painting and color, no matter how plain the story is, it becomes fascinating. Every time the storyteller talks about a plot, it can make the audience listen to it heartily.
Therefore, even though tea leaves have become scarce in the tea ceremony, the number of customers has increased instead of decreasing.
These storytellers were only sent to find them, and as for what to say, they were not instructed. But although these storytellers are deaf and blind, their hearts and eyes are very lively. Therefore, in addition to exaggerating the things of the next meeting, it is sometimes mixed with other things.
As a result, the grasslands on the outskirts of the city, the assassination of Ye Gongshu, the poisoning of Ye Chen, and the assassination of Chang'an alleys were mentioned again.
The people, who had previously ignored these things because of the meeting, began to re-examine the matter.
In these incidents, except for the incident of the grassland on the outskirts of the city, the storyteller was more or less implicated. Everyone pondered, although they didn't know whether the things that the second prince did were true, but they were groundless, and there must be a reason.
If it really has a relationship, these two princes ...... is also too frustrated, almost ruined the pride of the Tang Dynasty.
What's more, these things all involve Mr. Ye Gongshu, who is indispensable to Datang Wendao.
Tea ceremony shops and Yipinxuan are both names of tea shops, but these tea shops are like modern chain restaurants, so this is the case outside a tea ceremony shop, and the tea ceremony shops everywhere in Chang'an are like this.
For a time, the people's voices were boiling.
"Smack!"
With a striking beat, the audience shut up.
The storyteller's empty eyes looked ahead, and he said: "All the rank officials, the last book said: The fire on the outskirts of the city ......, and the cold ...... that week."
Outside the tea ceremony shop, many people sitting on chairs, standing on the ground, and leaning on the table gathered together to listen to the story with relish.
Outside the tea ceremony shop last time, the shopkeeper Yao stood at the door, watching the six ways and listening to all directions, staring at the guys constantly adding tea and wiping the table, sweeping the floor and cashier, and the abacus in his hand "Bang Bang!" "Hit.
Next to the shopkeeper Yao, Yipinxuan's crooked mouth shopkeeper leaned lazily on the edge of the canopy pillar, squinted and smiled: "Your business...... Not bad! ”
The words are complimentary, but the words are yin and yang.
After making a deal with the crooked mouth shopkeeper and Zhou Papi, the crooked mouth shopkeeper was full of joy and smiled at everyone. Today, there were few visitors to Yipinxuan, and he didn't have anything important, so he came to the tea ceremony shop opposite, called Nag, which was actually to show off Yipinxuan's tea.
After all, now the tea merchants in Chang'an have no supply in their hands. Even the tea leaves that are kept by the tea ceremony shop are only enough for customers to make tea and enjoy, and if they are sold as raw tea, they will be sold out in just one day. The Chang'an tea merchants knew in their hearts that by the time the tea from all over the country was transported to Chang'an, the Qin merchants had already left Chang'an.
It is no exaggeration to say that the tea that Yipinxuan has now is equivalent to the sum of the tea in the hands of all the tea merchants in Chang'an when the Qin merchants did not come. Once this amount of tea is sold to Qin merchants at five times the price of the original tea, Yipinxuan will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
Thinking of this, the crooked shopkeeper's face couldn't help but smile.
Shopkeeper Yao squinted and glanced at the crooked-mouthed shopkeeper, seeing that he looked proud, a silent sneer appeared on the half of the face that the crooked-mouthed shopkeeper couldn't see.
Although the crooked mouth shopkeeper and the Yao shopkeeper belong to different camps, they are competitors. But he is also a Chang'an tea merchant, he looks down and doesn't look up, and with the struggle for most of his life, the other party can know what he wants to fart as long as he pouts his buttocks.
At this moment, Shopkeeper Yao turned his head to look at Yipinxuan, and said with a long tail and a smile: "Your Yipinxuan is also ...... Not bad. ”
The shopkeeper Yao, who is more than forty years old, has wrinkles engraved on his face by the years, and when he smiles, all the folds on his face are wrinkled together, looking mad. What's even more uncomfortable is that the tone of his speech is strange.
The crooked-mouthed shopkeeper glanced at Yipinxuan in astonishment, a little surprised.
In fact, the matter of his trade with Zhou Papi was blatantly traded, in order to show off in front of his old rivals. Therefore, it is impossible for Shopkeeper Yao not to know, but since he knows, why can he be so calm? Moreover, the words of the shopkeeper Yao...... What is the meaning?
The two have been fighting for many years, and the crooked-mouthed shopkeeper knows that he is not such a gloomy person.
Can you behave like this now...... Is it a tea ceremony shop and a backhand?
The crooked-mouthed shopkeeper laughed dryly, unconsciously touched his rough neck, thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "This Qin merchant is about to leave, won't your tea ceremony shop continue to trade with them?" ”
Shopkeeper Yao saw that the crooked shopkeeper had this question, and scolded in his heart: You old fox, let you calculate us, this time, you were calculated!
Shopkeeper Yao grinned, smiled gently, and did not speak.
Before Qin Shang came, Li Yanqi urgently summoned him. Although at that time, I didn't know why the master wanted the tea ceremony shop and Yipinxuan to compete for the Qin merchants' business, but he was also very happy to see that the princess was interested in the tea ceremony. I thought that I could show my strengths in this matter and realize my business ambitions, but I didn't expect that the princess let Mo Fei take over the matter with full authority.
It was this person, he had heard about it at that time. After seeing him, seeing that he was young and a student who participated in the literary meeting, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he thought that the other party would inevitably have a low eye.
After that, Mo Fei proposed to raise the price of tea and write poems to attract customers. After the operation, he realized more clearly that he was a scholar after all, believing in truths such as "there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book", but he doesn't know anything about business.
However, he did not dare to disobey the princess's orders, so he could only completely obey Mo Fei's arrangement. During this time, Shopkeeper Yao was worried all day long, always worried that Mo Fei's misdeeds would bring disaster to the tea ceremony shop. If Yipinxuan grows stronger this time because of the trading of Qin merchants, it is inevitable that there will be a supply of tea from the tea ceremony shop in the future, and it is better to spread the voice of Yipinxuan, at that time, it will more or less damage the interests of the tea ceremony shop.
But with the development of the situation, Shopkeeper Yao began to lose his mind, and after a long time, he found something strange. First of all, this time Qin merchants are like locusts crossing the border, and it is a little unbelievable to sweep away Chang'an tea. Secondly, the rise in tea prices is really outrageous, and the amount of tea in Zhou Papi's hands is even more weird.
Combining these things, Shopkeeper Yao thought in his heart: Could it be that the price of tea should rise, and then, these things were gathered together, no matter how you look at it, it is too much of a coincidence.
The more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became, the more chaotic he became, the shopkeeper Yao hadn't sorted out his mind until Zhou Papi finished trading with Yipinxuan, but he realized that this must be a game of chess.
Sooner or later, there must be some earth-shattering reversal.
Just after Shopkeeper Yao had this realization, this morning, he received a letter.
