Chapter 176: Building momentum and opening

A group of people and horses, all the way south, trekking through mountains and rivers, passing through the county and passing through the city, before dark, finally came to Baling City.

Less than two miles away from the city, Xiao Yao ordered the convoy to stop on the side of the road, spread a message to the whole team, cover the carriage with the black cloth prepared in advance, and strictly ordered that no one should disclose any information after entering the city. When all the wagons were ready, they set out for the city again.

"What the hell! Hmph, so it's mysterious. Ling Xuan rode behind Xiao Yao, parallel to Nangong Shi, and muttered in a low voice. On the way, he was completely accustomed to being ignored by someone, and at this time, he knew that if he asked him, he would not sue himself, so he had to give up.

"Brother Xiao must have a reason for doing this, anyway, I can't guess it, why don't I ask him?" Nangong Shi was close to her, vaguely heard what she said, scratched his head, and asked Ling Xuan.

On this day, Nangong Shi simply became Ling Xuan's toy. Whether he was happy, depressed, or bored, he came to him, because Ling Xuan found that this guy was the only one in the entire team who could let him come and go as soon as he wanted.

Xiao Yao is pretending to be deaf and dumb most of the time; That Cui Gang, who is even more annoying to say, is quite polite to himself, but everything always depends on Xiao Yao's color, which once made Ling Xuan feel extremely depressed. In the end, I found that Nangong Shi was righteous enough.

Ling Xuan's eyes rolled, and he nodded with a snicker at Nangong Shi, motioning for him to ask for an understanding.

Xiao Yao was not far from the two of them, and Nangong Shi's words had already reached his ears, and the smile on his face flashed. When Nangong Shi came up to ask, he replied: "This is indeed a trick, it is nothing more than advertising in advance." "I don't explain much.

"Advertise?" Nangong Shi reported to Ling Xuan, Ling Xuan couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, it was the first time she had heard this new term if she was well-informed, and she didn't understand what advertising meant after thinking about it for a long time.

The convoy entered the city from the west gate, and the sunset shone obliquely, and the afterglow sprinkled on the streets of Baling City, which gave this ancient city a layer of mystery.

The streets are full of people, rubbing shoulders, and it is not lively. Everyone got off their horses and led their horses on foot on the streets of Baling City, and the pedestrians on the road saw this and gave way to watch. Staring at the endless convoy, there were a group of three people and a group of five people talking about it, all speculating about what was loaded on the carriage.

What's more, with the wine transport team all the way forward, just to find out. The convoy walked slowly along the street towards the city, watching more and more lively people, accompanied by both sides of the convoy. Some people were curious, and couldn't help but ask the team members who were guarding the carriage a few words, and they all got the same answer, no comment.

The more this happens, the more curious passers-by become. Xiao Yao, who was walking in front, looked back at the crowd, showed a smiling face, and said in his heart, it seems that the effect is not bad. After whispering a few words to Cui Gang, he got on the horse and went straight to Tailai Tea House.

The two exchanged pleasantries, Xiao Yao took the two land deeds from him, thanked him, and pulled him out of the tea house to find the convoy.

"What are you going to do with them?" On the way, Qin Tai asked Xiao Yao curiously.

Xiao Yao smiled, "Keep it secret for the time being, hehe, we'll see tomorrow." As soon as these words came out, Qin Tai was speechless for a while, and it also aroused his curiosity, but he didn't ask anymore and talked about other interesting things.

didn't go far, but I saw a long line coming towards the two, and there were countless followers. Seeing this, Qin Tai's face was full of surprise, and he didn't know what was happening in front of him. When I saw the leader of the team greeting Xiao Yao, I realized that he had made such a big battle. Staring at Xiao Yao's back, there were many thoughts in his heart.

Leading the convoy, all the way to the newly bought store pù. When he arrived at the door, Xiao Yao looked around and nodded with satisfaction, it was indeed a good location. The two shops occupy a corner of the busy intersection, which was originally a ready-to-wear shop, but now the signboards have been removed, the front of the door is bare, the shop pù gate, and the exterior walls on both sides are wiped clean.

The two shops are next to each other, and the inside has been cleaned up. The shop is divided into front and back yards, the front hall is naturally used to run a business, there are many huts in the backyard, people can live, can hoard goods, Xiao Yao patrolled a circle, and thanked Qin Tai again, so that Cui Gang commanded the convoy to detour to the back door to unload the wine, and sent a small team of people to stop passers-by in the distance, so that they could not see what was carried, which really whetted everyone's appetite.

This move caused dissatisfaction among many people, and even some invective could be heard. Xiao Yao smiled faintly, gathered all the passers-by together, put his hands in the air, suppressed everyone's discussions, and said loudly: "Everyone, Rong Xiao is selling a pass today, not to make a fuss, but to wait for the official listing of the Japanese store tomorrow before it can be made public." Tomorrow, still here, Xiao is looking forward to everyone's visit, and he will definitely live up to expectations. ”

The crowd gradually dispersed, and it was night, Xiao Yao found a carpenter in the city and asked him to build a gilded signboard for himself overnight. After getting ready, Xiao Yao found Qin Tai alone, used his connections, and drafted several invitations, asking him to help send them to several important families in the city.

Overnight, in Baling City, whether it is ordinary people or wealthy families, almost all of them got a message: "Tomorrow, there will be a mysterious shop in the city that will be opened." But that's all I know, and nothing else. Everyone is talking about it, looking forward to going tomorrow to find out.

The next day, before dawn, the door of the new store was already full of people, and the intersection was blocked, waiting for the owner of the store to reveal the mystery. In front of the store again, there is a huge door plaque compared to yesterday, hanging high, covered tightly with a piece of red silk, and there is not even a gap.

As soon as the hour arrived, I heard a squeak, and the door opened. Two groups of people rushed out of the house, and carried out four square tables lined up to form a long table one foot in front of the door. Then one person took out a batch of red Luo and put it on the end of the long table, spread it out along the long table, and used it as a tablecloth to put the long table underneath. After that, a few more people brought out ten round chairs from the room and arranged them behind the tables in turn.

The time is just right, and when the preparations are made here, I only heard a message from afar: "The county guard has arrived, and I am here to congratulate the opening of the house~" The passers-by who were immediately surrounded were pushed to both sides by the two officials led by them, making way for a way, and allowing the old man's sedan chair to pass guò. At that time, the pot exploded, and there was a lot of discussion, and there was speculation about who the owner of this newly opened store pù was.

As soon as the discussion fell, there was another street again: "Zhang Yuanwai, come to congratulate the opening of the city~" Everyone was in an uproar again, and they were all surprised, even the richest man in the city came.

Xiao Yao stood in front of the door, and Qin Tai stood beside him smiling silently, staring at the qi in front of him, and his heart was not shocked. Seeing Liu Zhi and Zhang Yuanwai coming hand in hand, Qin Taicai led Xiao Yao forward and introduced each other.
