"Brother Ma, you better hurry up and get ready, it's up to you later." Xie Hong estimated the time and felt that Ling'er and Qing'er should be ready, and of course he couldn't let another important character be idle at this time.

"Is there really going to be a business?" Maang looked around with great trepidation, and although there were many people, they were either mocking or laughing, or none of them were planning to enter the store, but the mural attracted some children to point and laugh there.

"Don't worry." Xie Hong had already arranged it, and seeing that Ma Ang still had doubts on his face, he smiled and was about to explain. At this moment, a gong suddenly sounded in the distance.

"When! While! ”

He followed the sound and saw a group of people coming from afar, there seemed to be several sedan chairs in the middle, and there were people holding two signs high in front, with a dark red background, black fonts, and two big characters in each book: "Quiet" and "Avoid".

The crowd was chaotic, Xuanfu City was not big, and when I saw this scene, who didn't know that it was the governor who was traveling. Could it be that something big is happening? Everyone speculated, where is the governor going? Look at the direction is to go south of the city, is it to go out of the city?

Xie Hong hasn't seen this posture yet, Beizhuang County is too small, and Wang Zhixian has never made any pomp, the biggest pomp he has seen after crossing is the time when Imperial Doctor Gu returned to his hometown. He has never seen it, he has heard of it, and when he saw Su Jing and avoided it, he was overjoyed, this is the Governor Zhang who came to keep the appointment.

"Brother Ma, hurry up and prepare, there is a distinguished guest here."

"Gongzi Xie...... You're not talking about a guest like the Governor, are you? "Ma Ang's mouth is wide open, the governor is a second-class official, how could he come to cheer for the opening of a small teahouse? But if you want to say no, why did Gongzi Xie say that when he said that the distinguished guest, he was in the direction of the governor.

"Go ahead, the people will be in front of you soon." Xie Hong urged repeatedly, the governor's team seemed to be walking steadily, unhurried, but in fact, because no one was in the way, the speed of the march was still quite fast, and after a while, it passed the archway and walked straight over.

Fortunately, Ma Ang knows that it is powerful, no matter why the governor came to cheer, in short, it must not be neglected. He kept his doubts to the bottom of his heart and went into the store to get ready to go.

The crowd had the same questions as Maang, and when they saw the governor's car coming straight to the stranger's teahouse, everyone got out of the way, but they were suspicious in their hearts.

The new Governor Zhang, everyone is not familiar with it, but according to the convention, there are a lot of people who come to the dock to worship the pier, some give gifts directly, and some secretly send dry shares, but these bright and dark are rejected by the governor. Originally, these merchants thought that the governor was too little or something, and wanted to wait and see, but ......

Seeing that the sedan chairs had already heard in front of the door of Houdefang, everyone seemed to have grasped something, could it be that the governor had already made arrangements? Otherwise, why did the governor come to Xuanfu not long after he took office, and it turned out to be the governor's family. The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt that it made sense, but the governor's family was too unreliable.

There is such a big backer, but I didn't say it earlier, although the good places in East Street and Pailou North have been occupied, but the governor wants a place, and everyone will make room for it anyway, so why do you have to open a store on West Street? also opened a teahouse, I don't know if Master Zhang's vision was too small, or he was careless in choosing people, made a big mistake, and sent such a fool out.

Xie Hong didn't have time to guess, when he saw the sedan chair stop, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, took two steps, and was stunned when he looked up. He thought that the first sedan chair should be Governor Zhang, but when he saw the people following by the sedan chair, he was surprised: Why is Dong Ping here, and he is still here with the governor?

"Uncle Zeng, this is the young man Xie mentioned by the little nephew." Dong Ping smiled at Xie Hong, but didn't speak, just nodded, turned around and helped the person in the sedan chair out first, and introduced.

Xie Hong saw that Dong Ping's expression was not unusual, and he didn't expect anything bad to happen, so he gathered his mind and looked at the great-uncle in Dong Ping's mouth.

This is an old man, with snow-white hair and wrinkles on his face, Xie Hong secretly estimated that the old man was probably in his prime. The old man's health didn't seem to be very good, and his face was a little gray, but his eyes were quite attentive, and Xie Hong noticed his hands, there were a few calluses on his hands, which were obviously not the hands of ordinary readers, but those who had held tools.

Xie Hong was very puzzled, the old man was wearing an official uniform, and Pu Zi embroidered a brocade chicken, this is the regular uniform of a second-grade official, how can there be other second-grade officials in the Xuanfu besides the governor?

After listening to Dong Ping's introduction, the old man looked at Xie Hong with a sharp gaze, and Xie Hong keenly felt that the old man paid more attention to his hands. Look at people first and look at hands, could it be that this old man really used to be a craftsman, otherwise how could he have the same habits as himself? Xie Hong was even more puzzled.

Xie Hong's heart was full of thoughts, but in the eyes of others, the two sides were just a short face-to-face. Everyone saw that the old man in the second-grade official uniform got off the sedan chair, looked at it for a while, and smiled kindly at the foreign fool, and the two sides exchanged pleasantries.

Sizzle, many people gasped, just guessed that this stranger was the governor's family, and now it seems that they still underestimated the identity of this young man. The old man was wearing a second-grade official uniform, and the sedan chair was lined up in front of the governor, obviously with a higher status, but the result was like talking to the foreigner like he was facing his own later juniors, where is this young man sacred?

"What Dong Shinephew said is true, he is indeed a young hero." The old man bowed his head slightly and praised it.

"Brother Xie, this is my father's old friend, Zeng Jianzeng, the Ministry of Labor, and the official worships Shangshu. I returned to my hometown for some reason a year ago, and this time I happened to pass by Xuanfu when I returned to Beijing to resume my job, and I stayed in the village for a few days, and I heard the foolish brother mention the virtuous brother, and this time I also came to meet the virtuous brother. Dong Ping introduced on the side.

"It turned out to be Lord Zeng, the kid was disrespectful, it's really rude." Xie Hong suddenly, when he first met Dong Ping, Steward Dong had mentioned this adult, but Xie Hong didn't pay attention to it at the time, but he didn't want to see him today. He was shocked at first, and then he was also overjoyed, compared to the Governor Zhang who didn't know the roots, wouldn't this adult in front of him be a more suitable person?

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu is a member of the Central Committee, and he must have the opportunity to meet the emperor in person, even if he can't tell Zhengde in person, but such a person, if he wants to spread some news about Xuanfu in the capital, it should still be very easy.

"It's not rude, it's the old man who came abruptly. Nephew Xie Xian, since you are commensurate with Dong Xian's nephew and brother, then don't call the old man an adult, just call him uncle. ”

"It turns out that Xie Qianhu and Master Zeng also know each other?"

Xie Hong was waiting for a few words, the corner of his eyes moved, but he saw a person walking over next to him, also wearing a second-grade official uniform, it was Governor Zhang Nai. Xie Hong secretly screamed badly, as soon as he was happy, he forgot that there was someone behind him. This is the first person in the Xuanfu, and if he is offended like this, it will be too wronged.

He didn't know that when he sent the invitation, if it wasn't for Wang Zhixian's solemn letter, he would have offended this adult a lot.

No one greeted him, and Governor Zhang was helpless, so he had to come over by himself. He was still a little annoyed when he came over, and before he could have an attack, he heard Zeng Jian's words, and his heart was also terrified: "This little Qianhu is really weird, he can not only befriend Liu Gonggong, but also befriend Zeng Shangshu, who in the capital doesn't know that Zeng Shangshu has always disliked internal officials, and he can befriend two people at the same time, this Qianhu's means are amazing." ”

After thinking about it again, it suddenly dawned on him: "This Zeng has always been unsociable, and I said why did I accept him as soon as I invited him casually, I'm afraid that he passed through Xuanfu for this thousand households." Fortunately, the official should be cautious and read the letter, otherwise if he really refused directly, he would have offended the two big men this time. He secretly wiped a cold sweat.

Governor Zhang was quite deep in the city, and he didn't show any thoughts in his heart, but with such a judgment, his attitude was naturally very different. When Xie Hong confessed, he also smiled and didn't care, and said that it was okay, and finally when Xie Hong invited him into the teahouse, he was even more full of spring breeze, holding Xie Hong's hand, and several people entered the teahouse together.

This time, not only the onlookers were surprised, but even the entourage of the governor's yamen who came with them was full of gold stars. The governor has always been cold, not to mention their entourage, even if they are officials in the yamen, they are often to blame, and if they make a slight mistake, they will be scolded lightly, and they will often be severely punished.

Who has ever seen the Governor and his face? And just now, the adults were more than kind to this foreigner, this is like being as close as their own children and nephews, so that the two second-grade adults value it so much, where is this young man sacred.

Ma Wentao had already rushed back at this time, and when he saw Xie Hong leading the two adults into the teahouse, he began to fulfill his duties. He first made a quartet and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, our brother is also a native of Xuanfu, and he has just come to the town, and I will invite you to cheer more ...... later."

"Today, in order to let you experience the benefits of this store, we hereby launch a special offer, as long as you get this sign here......" He held up a wooden sign, and everyone could see it clearly, it was the word 'Houde' engraved on it, "Today, you can listen to books and tunes in the teahouse for free, and there is also free tea and snacks." ”

Wow...... The crowd twitched. No matter what era, for the general public, the word free is very lethal, and this is not just to go in and listen to it, but also to eat and drink for nothing. The wealthy families in the east of the city naturally don't care about this little cheapness, but the ordinary military households in the west of the city are very excited, and many people are eager to try, and there is only one who takes the lead.

And those rich families in the east of the city are actually a little nervous, of course, not for that little cheapness, but for the relationship with the two adults who just entered. Needless to say, the governor is of the same grade as the governor, maybe he is a Beijing official, otherwise why would the governor be so humble.

As for the store that entered the west of the street, who would care about that kind of thing, didn't you see that the two adults went in? However, the power of habit is still very great, although everyone is moved, but no one takes the lead, and everyone is watching each other for a while, but no one moves.

Seeing everyone's expressions in his eyes, Ma Wentao was not in a hurry, and said slowly and carefully: "This activity is free today, and from tomorrow it will start to collect money, and the price will be discussed by the number of book reviews, tomorrow it will be one article, the day after tomorrow will be two articles, the day after tomorrow will be three dollars, and then the price will remain the same." Of course, free tea and snacks are still available while listening to books. ”

It seems to be very cheap, everyone looks at each other, and they all feel a little unbelievable, even if it is the day after tomorrow, it is only three cents a game, and there is food and drink, what is this routine?

In addition, this sign will be distributed free of charge for three days, and 50 yuan will be distributed every day. In the future, the licensee will be regarded as the VIP of the store, and ordinary customers will listen to the book for three yuan a game, and the VIP will be two ......" Ma Wentao saw that the heat was almost the same, and threw out the last trick that Xie Hong confessed.

Rumble! Now the crowd was finally induced, this is a shop that can invite two second-class officials to open a shop, and it is so cheap, besides, the governor has gone in to drink tea, what is there to be indecent for us to go in? This brand is incredible, fifty yuan a day, whether he comes in the future or not, grab it first and then say wow.

"Give me a piece of ......"

"I'm going to ...... too"

After a while, the sign glowed, and those who took the sign entered the teahouse happily, but those who didn't get it were all disappointed. A few people who refused to give up also begged around Ma Wentao, and after being resolutely refused, they asked when the sign would start to be distributed tomorrow, and Ma Wentao replied, so he gave up, but there were still many people lingering in front of the door and refused to leave.

There are also people who want to take advantage of the chaos to get in, but it is Zhang Erniu who is guarding the door of the teahouse, and the big black man is standing there, which is a little similar to Zhang Sanye on the mural, which one dares to step forward? There were so many people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and they were also gently flicked by the second cow, and they went to the other side of the street in a daze.

Ma Wentao took very little time in just a few words, but the scene in front of the teahouse turned from extremely cold to extremely hot, and when it was time to grab the brand, it was even very popular. Ma Wentao was happy, but he admired Xie Hong even more, when Xie Hong proposed this method, everyone was still a little skeptical, but they didn't want this effect to be so good.

"There are two biggest problems with our store, one is that the people in the west of the city have no spending power, so we have to attract them with very low prices. The second is that the wealthy families in the east of the city refuse to come because of the problem of decency, so this has to depend on whether Governor Zhang will come as promised, and if he comes, this problem will be solved. ”

"In addition, it is very important at the beginning, so we want to use free to attract customers, but no one is rare to be free for an unlimited time, so we have to set up this VIP brand again, so that customers will have a sense of superiority when they get the brand. It doesn't matter if Governor Zhang doesn't come, we can use nursery. ”

"Dong Chao, they are all fresh faces, everyone has a herd mentality, as long as they are driven, someone will come in. As long as they come in our Houde Fang, are you still afraid that they won't come next time? Make hay? Hehe, that's okay, as long as you don't lose money, anyway, the purpose of opening a store is not to make money. ”

Thinking of the time when making preliminary preparations, Xie Hong's tirade, Ma Wentao felt even more unfathomable, and there was so much truth in opening a store. It's just that in the end, Brother Xie said that the store was not opened to make money, what was it for, it was so profound, I still have to understand it.
