Chapter Twenty-Five: A Night Visit to Ning Xiang
Rare is expensive, the price of a large supply of wine will naturally drop, and now it only costs two taels of silver to drink a small glass of wine in Baiweilou, but it is still a sky-high price compared to ten yuan a jar and a bowl of ordinary wine. Those who can go to Baiweilou to eat are either rich or expensive, and others drink a tasting of wine, are you embarrassed to call a bowl of ordinary wine? Therefore, since the first tasting wine shop has supplied a large number of wine tasting wines, no one cares about the ordinary wine in Baiwei Building, and the profit of the wine alone is dozens of times higher than in the past.
The three Li brothers who had just finished their meal were sent away, and Wang Xiang lay on the recliner and picked his teeth leisurely.
"You said that the shopkeeper Huang of Baiwei Lou is willing to raise the purchase price by 30%, and you want us to only provide them with a wine tasting for Baiwei Lou?"
Steward Wang said excitedly: "Yes, young master, thirty percent is a lot of silver." ”
Looking at the excited Wang Steward Wang Xiang said leisurely: "Even if I don't agree to his request, why is it difficult for him to increase the purchase price by 30%?" ”
"What does the young master mean?" Steward Wang looked puzzled.
"Baiwei Lou is the first restaurant in Chang'an City." Wang Xiang smiled playfully, squinted his eyes and said faintly: "If I no longer provide a wine tasting to Baiwei Building, but start to provide a wine tasting to Hongfu Building and Tongyuan Building, I don't know how long Baiwei Lou can be the No. 1 restaurant in Chang'an City?" ”
After listening to Wang Xiang's words, Steward Wang was completely stunned, Hongfu Building and Tongyuan Building are the largest restaurants in Chang'an City second only to Baiwei Building, and now a wine tasting has become a must-order drink for wealthy families, who is embarrassed to drink ordinary wine? Because of this reason, the business of Hongfu Building and Tongyuan Building during this period of time is not as good as before, and Baiwei Building is full every day, if Baiwei Building suddenly has no wine tasting and Hongfu Building and Tongyuan Building have a wine tasting, then ......
Thinking of this, Steward Wang almost wanted to exclaim, a wine tasting can actually affect the business of the three major restaurants in Chang'an City!
"No wonder Shopkeeper Huang seemed to be very eager to sign the paperwork with me, but fortunately, he didn't agree when he thought about discussing it with the young master." Speaking of this, Steward Wang's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "What about our own restaurant?" ”
You just thought of it? Wang Xiang shook his head and said: "Degui has already told me about this, but our restaurant is not a little worse than the three major restaurants in Chang'an City, and it is not enough to rely on just tasting wine." Seeing that Steward Wang was a little disappointed, Wang Xiang said with a smile: "Degui Restaurant doesn't have much business, I asked Degui to close the restaurant first, and when the restaurant reopens, it will be the time for us to compete for the first restaurant in Chang'an City." ”
Steward Wang, who was not confused for more than a year, heard Wang Xiang's words, and there was a raging flame in his heart, and he read excitedly: "Old Hou Ye bless, the Hou Mansion is hopeful!" ”
Wang Xiang ignored the excited Steward Wang, got up and straightened his clothes and said, "I'm going to go out." ”
"Where is the young master going so late?"
"Yicui Building."
……
Ning Xiang smiled and looked at Wang Xiang who was pretending to be sitting in front of him, while Xiao Cui stood aside and stared at a pair of big eyes full of vigilance, for fear that Wang Xiang would make some excessive moves.
"Since that day, the prince of Jinguang Lake has come to us for the first time." Ning Xiang's voice revealed a vague resentment.
Wang Xiang smiled embarrassedly, the previous prince was a frequent visitor to Yicui Building, and he himself was the first time to come to this kind of place, so he was a little uncomfortable, as soon as he entered Yicui Building, he said that he wanted to find Ning Xiang, and was immediately despised and ridiculed by everyone, Ning Xiang is what you want to see?
Fortunately, Xiao Cui, who came down to pour water, recognized Wang Xiang at a glance, Ning Xiang heard that Wang Xiang came to find herself, and her heart was faintly happy, the white fox made her fame in Chang'an City reach an unprecedented height, but she never saw Wang Xiang after the Jinguang Lake Poetry Meeting, and originally thought that Wang Xiang had forgotten her a long time ago.
When Ning Xiang personally went downstairs to greet Wang Xiang, those gentlemen who had just despised and ridiculed him suddenly looked stupid, stunned for a moment, and shouted that there was no heavenly reason.
In the past, I always felt annoyed when the prince ran to Yicui Building every day, but I thought of him like this when he didn't come these days. Ning Xiang's face was slightly red.
"Ahem." Being a little embarrassed by Ning Xiang, Wang Xiang coughed dryly and said, "Didn't Your Majesty let me be the supervisor of Sinong Temple, so I've been busy these days." ”
"I'm afraid it's not just that, right?"
Seeing Ning Xiang looking at himself with a resentful face, Wang Xiang said in a humble heart: "Then what else can there be?" ”
"Isn't Wang Gongzi afraid of what others will say when he came to our Yicui Building three days before the wedding?"
Nima, I'll just say why when I said I was going to come to Yicui Building, Steward Wang's eyes were so wrong, three days later was the day when I and Wushun got married, this is really not the time, I should wait for the marriage to come again. Thinking of this, Wang Xiang felt that something was wrong, forget it, don't worry about it for now.
Wang Xiang laughed and said: "I didn't even think of this, you said it's not funny, haha, hahaha." ”
"Isn't it funny?" Xiao Cui on the side looked at Wang Xiang like a fool and interjected.
Wang Xiang laughed for a while, leaned closer to Ning Xiang and whispered: "This little girl of yours is too uncute." ”
Feeling Wang Xiang's breath itching on her ears, Ning Xiang blushed and covered her mouth and smiled: "This girl's ears are pointed." ”
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Xiang turned around, he was facing Xiao Cui's murderous eyes, and his cheeks were bulging.
"Where am I not cute? And also! Why are you so close to our young lady! ”
Only then did Wang Xiang realize how ambiguous his actions were just now, and hurriedly sat back, but the inadvertent sniff made Ning Xiang's heart messy.
"Why did Wang Gongzi come here today?" Ning Xiang opened her mouth to break the embarrassment.
"There's a gift for you."
"What gift?" Ning Xiang asked curiously.
"Perfume." Wang Xiang took out a delicate box from his arms, which contained international brand perfumes that he had prepared in advance.
Ning Xiang wondered, "What is perfume?" ”
Wang Xiang pushed the box in front of Ning Xiang and said, "You open it and take a look." ”
Ning Xiang opened the box when she heard this, and immediately exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!" ”
"It's the first time I've seen such crystal clear glass."
No wonder Ning Xiang is so surprised, there are five different flavors of perfume in the box, the bottle of the perfume is made of five different colors of crystal, crystal clear is far from the current glass comparable, and the bottle body has been cut and polished very precisely, and the brilliance reflected by countless edges is even more gorgeous, eye-catching.
This thing is not for seeing, Wang Xiang motioned for Ning Xiang to unscrew the cap of the bottle.
"It smells so good!"
Seeing Ning Xiang's surprised appearance, Wang Xiang said triumphantly: "This is perfume, just one drop is sprinkled on the clothes, and the aroma will not dissipate all day long, these five bottles of perfume are five different fragrances." ”
Ning Xiang curiously unscrewed the other four bottles of perfume and sniffed it gently, and sure enough, the fragrance was different.
Seeing that Ning Xiang seemed to be very unfamiliar with perfume, Wang Xiang asked curiously: "I smell that Ning Xiang has a faint fragrance on the girl's body, isn't it perfume?" ”
Ning Xiang heard the words and thought of Wang Xiang's sniff on the side of her face just now, and suddenly blushed and didn't speak, Xiao Cui on the side looked at the perfume bottle in Ning Xiang's hand enviously and pouted: "The fragrance on my young lady's body is not what kind of perfume you said, it is the fragrance of Miss herself." ”
It turned out to be a natural fragrance, Wang Xiang secretly exclaimed, it was even more sultry than perfume.
"Xiao Cui!"
Seeing that Ning Xiang was ashamed and angry, Xiao Cui muttered in a low voice: "There is nothing to do." ”
"Ahem, that, Miss Xiaocui, I also have a gift for you." A yellow-haired girl can't believe you!
"Yes! Do I have that too? Xiao Cui's eyes lit up.
Wang Xiang took out a bottle of perfume from his arms again, although it was not as delicate as the five bottles of perfume of Ning Xiang, but it still surprised Xiao Cui, carefully took the perfume from Wang Xiang's hand and looked at it carefully, learned to unscrew the cap of the bottle like Ning Xiang and sniffed it gently, and suddenly smiled, when he raised his head, he found that Wang Xiang was staring at himself and deliberately put on a cold appearance and said: "Don't think that you can buy me with a bottle of perfume." His tone softened a lot.
Without Xiao Cui's watchful eyes, Wang Xiang felt much more comfortable.
"This gift is too valuable, I ...... it"
Wang Xiang waved his hand to interrupt Ning Xiang and said, "If Ning Xiang girl regards my prince Xin as a friend, don't refuse, or do you say that Ning Xiang girl has a faint fragrance and looks down on my perfume?" ”
Hearing Wang Xiang's joke, Ning Xiang was both shy and happy: he regarded me as a friend.
"Then thank you Prince Wang."
"Since it's a friend, why do you still call me Wang Gongzi, just call me Zixin."
Hearing Wang Xiang's words, Xiao Cui was about to speak, looked at the perfume in his hand, and finally just pouted and didn't speak.
Ning Xiang hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Zixin came over today, but is there something wrong?" ”
Hearing Ning Xiang shout to his son, Wang Xiang was happy in his heart, and said, "It's really something that wants to trouble Miss Ning Xiang." ”
Ning Xiang asked curiously, "Why do you need my little woman's help?" ”
"The son of the housekeeper of my house helps me run a restaurant, but he doesn't know anything about the layout of the restaurant, and the restaurant has no business at all.
"Prince...... What is the name of Zixin's restaurant? ”
"Degui Restaurant."
Ning Xiang smiled and said, "Why did Yizi Xin's poetry take such a name? ”
Wang Xiang said with a depressed face: "Don't mention it, I didn't take this name, because the son of Steward Wang is called Wang Degui, so the restaurant took such a name, but it will be changed in the future." ”
Ning Xiang covered her mouth and said with a smile: "That Zixin will tell me in detail about the size and location of the restaurant. ”
Wang Xiang told the details of the restaurant.
Ning Xiang really has a delicate heart, just think about it a little and already have an idea, Wang Xiang was even more pleasantly surprised after listening to it, and said mysteriously when he left: "When the restaurant opens, I will ask Miss Ning Xiang to do me a favor." ”
