Zhao Wanqi looked at the carriage that came suspiciously, she obviously explained to Awu Azhi, and now no one is allowed to follow and monitor her, nor is she allowed to pick her up, why did they come again, could it be that her father sent her?

In confusion, the carriage had arrived. Ah Wu and the goat-bearded man got out of the car, nodded at She Yi, and saluted seriously with their fists clenched. She Yi was surprised, but returned to normal in an instant, and returned the salute with a fist.

You must know that these two people are the top masters of King Rong, and their status is not ordinary and comparable. Normally, they don't have to salute when they see an official in the state capital. Now to She Yi, the number of rituals in the rivers and lakes is carried out, which is obviously of extraordinary significance.

The significance of this extraordinary is mainly manifested in two aspects. First, it is related to King Rong Zhao Jing. Second, it is related to She Yi's own ability. The two of them and She Fu are old acquaintances, and in terms of friendship and seniority, She Yi is just their junior. She Yi should only salute when she sees them...... But apart from the relationship between She Fuji, it is necessary for the two of them to salute She Yi. There are many reasons, including She Yi's rescue of hundreds of women and children in Suide City, and the Five Tigers Gang in Houhe Village, all of which were done by chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes. and the outstanding performance of his talents at the Accord this morning.

Song Chongwen is light on martial arts, a master with extraordinary martial arts, in their eyes, he is not even as good as a talented scholar. She Yi is both wise and brave, he said that the future is limitless, and it is possible to worship the marquis...... It is only a matter of time before the salute is made.

"County Lord, the prince asked you to go back to the house......"

Ah Wu whispered.

"Got it......"

Zhao Wanqi had an impatient expression on her face......

"County Lord, go back, be careful on the road......"

She Yi said goodbye.

"Yes!"

Zhao Wanqi raised her voice, glared at She Yi angrily, and got into Ah Wu's carriage......

The carriage rolled its wheels, and the faint light of the lantern on the carriage became weaker and weaker in the dark night, and finally turned into a small point of light.

She Yi stood there quietly, watching the carriage disappear completely.

"Time walks, and it never stops for any of us."

The corners of She Yi's mouth curled, and after saying an inexplicable word, he turned around and put the lantern in front of the carriage, then got into the driving position of the carriage and walked towards Xintan Lake.

……

In the blink of an eye, it is the end of December, and the city of Luoyang is filled with a festive smell, and the crackling sound of firecrackers can be heard from time to time.

The colder it gets, but there are more pedestrians on the streets. Many people came out to buy New Year's goods, and many people came out to catch the excitement. In these years, there is no mahjong, no television, no radio, not even cards, and there is no other interesting thing for family entertainment except for doing sports after blowing the lamp, which is quite scarce. As a result, shopping has become a very popular entertainment choice.

The streets are full of vendors. According to the establishment, there are about 500 "chengguan" in Bianjing, and Luoyang City is Xijing in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are not as many "chengguan" personnel as in Tokyo, with a total of more than 300 people.

Luoyang City has three major business districts, in the ordinary season, there are few people who set up stalls, more standardized, and the public security is also relatively good. The "chengguan" personnel do not need to be too careful. When encountering nail merchants, the bricks will solve the problem. It is now the end of the year, the novice and veteran hawkers are mixed, and the phenomenon of occupying the road is particularly serious.

Coupled with some other factors, the law and order on the streets is a lot chaotic, and some thefts and robberies occur from time to time.

She Yi took Ruoruo out this morning and encountered such a thing.

In front of a stall on the main street of the North District, She Yi was busy selecting porcelain, and if she walked around there and was not careful, her purse would be taken away by a thief who did not have long eyes. If you find out that your purse is lost, you cry in a hurry. She Yi hurriedly stood up, walked over to ask what was going on, Ruoruo told She Yi with a handful of snot and tears that the purse he hung on his waist was stolen.

She Yi looked around, the streets were bustling with people, and there was no way to find out who had taken Ruoruo's purse away. Shook her head helplessly, comforted Ruoruo, and promised her to go back and get something fun. Ruoruo stopped crying and followed him into the carriage.

On the gate of this residence on Xintan Street, She Yi hangs a plaque of Jiafu, which is also filed in the official mansion, which can be regarded as officially belonging to She Yi's private property.

Several new houses were built in the house, a carriage was hired, and two maids were bought. In this way, several members of this large family began to enjoy the life of a junior aristocratic like an old lady and a young lady.

The business of the Tex Hotel on Xintan Street is not as prosperous as when it first opened, and the flow of people has decreased a lot, but the daily operating income is still more than 20 taels, which is quite profitable for a small hotel of this size. However, as their consumption levels increased, prices skyrocketed at the end of the year, and the cost of new homes increased. These incomes are gradually a little stretched, although Yue Mochou Yue Shan'er did not mention it to She Yi, but She Yi felt it.

For example, if Ruoruo cried when she lost her silver today, in fact, her purse contained only a few taels of silver.

Today's Xintan Street is comparable to the prosperity of the main street, near the Tex Hotel, several new restaurants have been opened, the restaurant sells all stir-fried dishes, the braised series of dishes in the store are almost exactly the same as the dishes in Tex, the taste is also very similar, and the price is low. Many diners go to a few nearby restaurants to eat stir-fried dishes......

Not far ahead, there is actually a hot pot restaurant. The hot pot method is completely copied from She Yi. The taste of the hot pot is exactly the same as that made by She Yi.

Recently, the business has exploded, comparable to the opening period of Tex.

Dong Bicheng and Yue Shan'er knew that the hot pot method must have been leaked out by the guys in the store, because this method was She Yi's originality, even if they were in the store, they did it once or twice occasionally, and the insiders ate it, and they didn't operate it at all. Except for the people in their shop, outsiders can't learn this hot pot method. The two deduced it and determined that they were helping the kitchen guy leak it out, and they were very angry and prepared to pull that guy to the official.

As a result, the guy took advantage of their inattention, and did not wait for the people from the government to come, and disappeared...... He took all his things with him in the room. Obviously, it was premeditated.

Yue Mochou comforted Yue Shan'er and Dong Bicheng, and the matter was over.

……

The inside of the Tex Hotel on Xintan Street was empty, and there was not even a single customer from this morning to now. Dong Bicheng asked the guys in the store to go out to investigate, and learned that a restaurant under Shunfeng Restaurant was newly opened to hold activities, all meals were discounted, all the dishes of the Tex Hotel were available, and there were also high-quality mandarin duck pots. Even the signboard of this new restaurant is called Shikede, which is clearly aimed at the Tex Hotel, including the icon of the old man with glasses and white beard that She Yi originally designed has also become part of their signboard.

As a result, almost all the diners went to Shunfeng Restaurant.

Not only that, but when it was close to noon, Shunfeng Restaurant sent people to distribute leaflets outside the Tex Hotel for publicity in order to completely crack down on the Tex Hotel. All the guests who come to dine at the Tex Hotel are invited to the Skede Restaurant.

Across the street from Tex was a horse-drawn carriage parked under a willow tree, and the carriage had a small window open, and a man sitting in the carriage looked through the small window at the Tex Hotel. A few people who solicited and handed out leaflets on the side of the road returned to the back of the carriage from time to time to report the situation to the people inside.

Around noon.

The Tex Hotel was empty, there were no guests, Yue Shan'er and Yue Mochou sat at the dining table, looking outside.

Dong Bicheng and Yue Shan'er's expressions were a little sluggish and lost, and in a few months, they had become accustomed to the grand occasion of full guests.

Suddenly it became so cold, I couldn't get used to it. It's like, all of a sudden, back to before She Yi came.

"Sister, what about Xiao Yi and Ruoruo?"

Yue Shan'er turned her head to look at Yue Mochou and asked casually.

"They went out shopping, and Xiao Yi wanted to buy a few beautiful porcelain vases and put them at home."

Yue Mochou replied casually.

"Sister, why don't we tell Xiao Yi, we will also open a big restaurant. If this continues today, our hotel will definitely be closed. ”

Yue Shan'er hesitated and said, Dong Bicheng also turned his head to look at Yue Mochou, thinking the same as his wife.

“…… Shan'er, the big restaurant is not something we can open, even if it is barely opened, can we guarantee a profit? ”

Yue Mochou shook his head.

"Let Xiao Yi think of a way, he will definitely be able to make money."

Dong Bicheng said affirmatively.

"It will be successful, we can't rely on Xiaoyi for the rest of our lives...... The hotel was supported by his pawn heirloom, and he said it to Ruoruo at first, but now it is directly to our sisters. The new house was bought by him with his own money, and the hotel has not touched a penny of the silver taels that have been profitable in the past two months. How embarrassed we are to bother him again. Let's figure it out ourselves, Naskede has just opened today, and it is discounted, and it is normal for customers to go there, and it will be difficult to say after the original price is restored...... Also, I remember Xiao Yi said when he first opened the store, what kind of bamboo tube rice is sold, as well as hamburgers, and those bamboo tubes are still piled up in the kitchen. Let's discuss how to use these bamboo tubes......"

Yue Mochou turned his head to look at the kitchen, thought for a moment and said.

"This ......"

Yue Shan'er and Dong Bicheng looked at each other. They believe that if this bamboo tube is tossed by She Yi, it will definitely be able to make a name for itself, but if the three of them toss, I am afraid they will not be able to come up with any tricks.

Generally, people who eat use bowls or plates to serve rice, and who will use bamboo tubes. Even if you use a bamboo tube, it is inconvenient to clean and can only increase the cost.

"Sister, you see, the carriage on the other side has not left in the morning. It must be Wang Dashun inside...... He endured it for so long, and he couldn't help it after all......"

When Yue Shan'er talked about Wang Dashun, she gritted her teeth.

"Heh, last time the black butler fell into the river and drowned, he hasn't remembered his last name for a long time! Be careful which day ......"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Yue Mochou's mouth. The real cause of death of the black butler, the sister and brother-in-law did not know, and thought that he fell into the river and drowned. She doesn't think so......

"Be careful one day like the Black Butler......"

Yue Shan'er added.

Dong Bicheng hurriedly lowered his head...... As long as Wang Dashun is mentioned, he has no confidence......

While Yue Mochou and the three of them were talking, a young man in a white shirt came in at the door.

"Oops, it's closed at noon......"

Yue Shan'er, Yue Mochou, and Dong Bicheng heard the prestige, and the young man who came in was She Yi.

"Xiao Yi, why are you here?"

Yue Mochou, Yue Shan'er, and Dong Bicheng wanted to stand up.

"Sister Mochou, Sister Shan'er...... No need to get up ......"

She Yi hurriedly stretched out his hand and signaled, and said with a smile. During this period of time, he has been busy cleaning up the backyard of his new house, and when there is a little gap, he will take Ruoruo out for a walk, and he has not come to Tex's side. So it's not very clear what the situation is here...... When I came in, I saw that there was no one in the empty space, and I wondered if the hotel would close.........

"Sister Mochou, who are the few people who hand out leaflets outside, how can they come to solicit customers at the door of our hotel?"

She Yiwang walked over, sat next to Yue Mochou, pointed at the few people outside the hotel, and frowned.

"It's the people of Shunfeng Restaurant, they have opened a new restaurant, and all the meals are discounted."

Yue Mochou hesitated and said.

"No wonder our hotel is so cold...... It's been like this for a while? Why don't you tell me about ......?"

She Yi withdrew his gaze and looked at Yue Mochou and Yue Shan'er, with some displeasure on his face. This smashing field has smashed to the door, why are they still enduring it......

"That's how it is today...... There were quite a lot of people yesterday......"

Yue Shan'er opened her mouth.

"Oh...... That's good...... In this case, the door is closed, it will be closed today, and the New Year will be in two days, so let's have a good rest for a few days and celebrate the New Year with joy......"

She Yi smiled.

“…… Xiaoyi, the end of the year is the most prosperous time for the hotel business, and if we close the door, we will lose a lot. ”

Dong Bicheng hurriedly spoke.

"It's okay...... It's only a few days, and you can't make much silver taels. When I came over, I saw that there were several more restaurants on this street, and there was a hot pot restaurant...... It's quite competitive. ”

She Yi said very calmly, and when she saw someone opening a hot pot restaurant, she didn't get angry.

"Hey! If I'm coming, serve the food......"

A crisp girl's voice came, and then I saw a little girl walk in, and it was Ruoruo who came in. Ruoruo was carrying a bag with a faint happy smile on her face.

"Ruoruo, you're here too?"

Yue Mochou saw that his daughter was also here, and smiled slightly.

"Well, I thought about my aunt and aunt, so I came with my uncle. Look at what fun stuff I've brought you...... Hee-hee......"

Ruoruo stepped forward and placed the bag on the table.

Dong Bicheng, Yue Mochou, and Yue Shan'er looked at the bag on the table in confusion, the bag seemed to contain some small squares, I don't know what it is, it could be silver taels, such a bag of silver taels, at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver...... If it can be lifted with one hand, it should not be ...... So what could it be?

The three of them set their eyes on She Yi, who smiled and didn't speak.

"I'll open it for you......"

Ruoruo went straight to untie the bag, made a noise, and poured the contents of the bag on the table. Some neat little wooden blocks appeared on the table.

These small pieces of wood are an inch long, seven minutes wide, three minutes thick, and eight corners are smooth, as if they had been specially processed.

"What is this?"

Dong Bicheng, Yue Shan'er, and Yue Mochou each picked up a small square and pondered it carefully.

"Seven-of-a-kind?"

"30,000 ......"

"Two Cakes ......"

The three of them could see clearly that the front of these small wooden blocks was engraved with words.
