Chapter 9 The Four Seas Salt Shop
The next day, it was the thirtieth day of the lunar month.
In the afternoon, the sun was shining.
The north-south streets of Gangneung City run through the entire city.
Every day, the streets were overcrowded, especially between the envoys and horses of the feudal towns and the Later Jin Dynasty.
It's bustling, it's not lively.
Near the south gate there is a salt shop with sixteen doors that stand out. This shop occupies the largest area and has the largest floor area in the entire street
The signboard of the salt shop has four gilded characters - Sihai Salt Shop.
There are as many as 18 clerks outside the shop who greet customers alone.
The name of the shop is enough to be a tyrant, and the store is grand enough.
The shopkeeper of the salt shop is surnamed Wang.
But the shopkeeper Wang is not the owner of the salt shop.
The owner of the salt shop is not alone.
It's five people.
All five are well-known people.
At least in Gangneung Mansion, no one would dare to say who these five people were.
They are, the eldest son of the king, the prince Gao Baoxun; Gao Baozheng, the second son of the king; Gao Baorong, the third son of the king; Sun Shixu, the grandson of Sun Guangxian, the secretary of the royal palace; All commanded the sons of Baili Yuanwang Baili Wuji, each accounting for 20% of the shares.
Except for these five high-ranking cadres, who dares to sell illicit salt in Jiangling Mansion, of course, except for themselves, few people know the Dao, and the Daoists naturally keep their mouths shut.
If you don't keep your mouth shut, someone will naturally shut him up. Shut up forever.
At the age of ten, Baili Wuji mobilized the other four to raise money to open a salt shop, and no one expected that this shop could make so much money. Jingzhou is located in an important transportation area, and merchants come and go frequently from all directions.
Although now the prince Gao Baoxun and the third prince Gao Baorong still have a hundred miles of Mowgli to deal with, but for the matter of the salt shop, it is rare for the five people to work together and keep their mouths shut, and no one wants to give up the rich dividends every month.
Naturally, the monthly dividends will not be in the salt shop. The shopkeeper Wang will sort out the accounts, and at the end of the month, he will take the dividends to the living room of the drunken fairy building on the side, and the five shareholders will naturally have their own accounts to receive them. Of course, there are also five people who came to pick it up in person, and by the way, they drank a glass of wine together and reminisced about the old days.
Drunken Immortal Building.
The only restaurant in Jiangling that sells spirits, originally called Taibai Restaurant, but when he bought this building, Wuji didn't like it, he thought that the spirits he sold were Li Taibai, a wine fairy who drank a few glasses and still got drunk to death, so it was changed to Drunken Immortal Building.
The wine sold in the Drunken Immortal Building is naturally called Drunken Immortal Wine. It is distilled with ordinary liquor and added with a little spice, which is comparable to the spirits drunk by the Khitan people in the north.
Drunken immortal wine is not sold much, only a hundred bottles are sold every day, not because the production is not enough, but because it is sold very expensive, so expensive that not many people can afford to pay for wine. Because Baili Wuji said that if you want to sell expensively, you can only sell less, and the less you sell, the more rich people will naturally come to seek after.
Fortunately, there are indeed a lot of local tyrants on the street, and after becoming famous, the number of dignitaries from all over the world who smell the wine and flock to it is increasing day by day, and some people even come by riding fast horses for a taste of drunken fairy wine.
In fact, riding a horse to taste the drunken immortal wine is only one aspect, the most important thing is that there is a wonderful thing in the drunken immortal building that is not found elsewhere, that is, the woman of the drunken immortal building, a beautiful woman, this reason is enough to convince all men in the world. And the beautiful and empathetic woman is enough to double the income of the drunken immortal building that is making money every day.
Since ancient times, men have money or not, and wine and women are the most indispensable.
When Baili Wuji bought this building, he also wanted to let the four of them join in, but the three brothers of the Gao family were not interested in the restaurant, only Sun Shixu and Wuji got close and entered Sancheng shares.
Now the money earned by Zuixianlou in January exceeds the profit made by the salt shop, which makes the three brothers of the Gao family extremely red.
Although the Gao brothers are red-eyed, they know that this is a mowgli industry, and they will not do anything wrong, but other fanatics who don't know the details of the drunken immortal building will always be unable to hold back to disturb and harass or make trouble, but as a result, everyone naturally knows that the drunken immortal building is still standing there, and all the troublemakers are floating in the river.
Therefore, the Drunken Immortal Building is very quiet, peaceful, and a lively and private place.
In the Drunken Immortal Building, it is actually a good place to share dividends.
Today is not only the end of the month, but also the end of the year, which is the day when the five of them gather in the drunken fairy building to drink and share the money.
According to the practice of the past six years, the five people gathered in the special VIP room of the Zuixian Building at noon, and this year is different, because there is one more, the fourth son of the king, Gao Baomian, is already thirteen years old, and he and his three brothers came to the Zuixian Building.
At the age of twenty-two, he was the oldest of the five, with piercing eyes, slender single phoenix eyes, and two thin lips with pride under the bridge of his tall hooked nose. Dark and deep ice eyes, looking wild and unrestrained, such an appearance and expression, at first glance, makes people feel that he is too sharp, there is a kind of sharpness and ruthlessness that has been involved in the world for a long time, his mother is Gao Cong Yuan, who has passed away due to illness a few years ago.
Gao Baozheng is nineteen years old, is the younger brother of Gao Baoxun's mother, has been smart since he was a child, but his personality is slippery, and he only obeys his brother's orders.
Gao Baorong is the current princess of the king, sixteen years old and the same year as Wuji, with a wooden personality, clear love and hate, and easy to go to extremes.
Gao Baomian is Gao Baorong's half-brother, although he is young, he is very shrewd at a young age.
Gao Baoxun and Gao Baozheng sat in the middle, while Gao Baorong and Gao Baomian sat on the left side, naturally Baili Wuji and Sun Shixu sat on the right side, and the six people in the room were divided into three camps, with clear warp and weft.
Baili Wuji broke the silence, pointed to the dishes on the table and said: "Brothers, we have been here for six years, and it is rare that there are four sons to join today, Ziqing has already ordered to prepare drunken immortal wine and get drunk with all the brothers." ”
Sun Shixu also stood up and filled six wine glasses with Wuji.
Wuji raised his glass to invite wine, and the six of them drank a glass together.
The liquor is in the throat, and the atmosphere slowly becomes harmonious.
Gao Baozheng smiled first: "Ziqing, I heard that you fought with Sun Shixu outside the city?" And he kicked his ass? Ha Lu Ha. ”
Baili Wuji also smiled: "This kind of talk is not credible, for so many years, who of you has seen him win against me, this time it's just that my hands are tied and let him go." ”
Sun Shixu was not convinced, and said: "Baili Wuji, do we want to stop going to Bibi?" Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday because he called me a nickname when I was a child, I was indeed kicked in the ass, and the son of the world saw it and can testify to it. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.
Gao Baorong interjected: "Sun Shixu, did Ziqing call you Sun Daban?" Ha Lu Ha. ”
Sun Daban's nickname really made Sun Shixu angry, I don't know why when I was a child, I still wet the bed at the age of ten, so every time I was waited by my father's big board, I was nicknamed Sun Daban by Baili Wuji, a ghost who lacked morality. Sun Shixu now thinks that Yushu is in the wind, Feng is suave, and he is deeply ashamed of this, and if anyone touches this matter, he will be angry, so the Gao brothers never touch their scales against it, but this is unscrupulous, and from time to time laughs at Sun Shixu.
