Ask for collection recommendations
----------
Tian Fan is the envoy of Liu Bei's side to Liu Biao, and he can live in a government post house without spending money to live in a hotel. And Qiao Xuan and his entourage can't do it, they are just businessmen and have no qualifications. So the two parties had to live separately, but Qiao Xuan still chose an inn closer to the post house, which was also convenient to meet his daughter.
Liu Biao was informed in advance that as soon as Tian Fan and his party arrived in Xiangyang City, a small school led them to the post house. The junior colonel is in his twenties, with a resolute face, and he looks like a professional soldier. He introduced himself as the head of the guard of the inn, and was in charge of protecting the temporary guests in the inn.
The inn is comfortable and luxurious. Tian Fan took Pi's post house and compared it here, and found that there was no comparison at all, one in the sky and one underground, of course, Xiapi is definitely not the one in the sky.
After settling everyone, Tian Fan asked the junior colonel, "General Ma, when will Liu Yuanjun meet us?" The little colonel hurriedly shook his hand and said, "My lord, it's okay to call me Centaur City, don't call me General!" Seeing Tian Fan nodding, he continued: "Mr. Tian, our envoy has been very busy in the past few days, and it may take a few days to meet you!" ”
Tian Fan nodded and said, "In this way, we will settle down in the post house now." Oh, by the way, is there anything to do in Xiangyang? I want to take people to go shopping! ”
The little school hurriedly said: "Yes, there are some, go out and go west all the way to the neighborhood where things are sold, Mr. can go and see!" Tian Fan nodded in thanks, and the little colonel stepped back.
Liu Biao must be very clear about the purpose of Tian Fan's coming, the reason why he doesn't see Tian Fan now is that he hasn't made up his mind yet. Don't worry about so much, go shopping first, Xiangyang is such a big city, you will lose if you don't go shopping! After thinking about it, Tian Fan greeted a few women and took them to the street.
There are really a lot of people in the group, six women, Tian Fan, plus a few Tian Jia brothers, so that when you count it, there are sixteen people! A big carriage put all six women in the car, Tian Fan followed Tian Jia and a few people on foot, and they went straight to the business district. In other words, a few girls didn't want to take the car, but Tian Fan considered that first, except for Huang Yueying, who was not welcome, the others were very beautiful and easy to cause traffic congestion, and second, don't look at what a few girls said was very lively, but Tian Fan knew their physical strength, but he was afraid that except for Lu Xin, the other few people who couldn't walk to the commercial area would have to get tired and lie down!
It is a large commercial area with a length of about a mile and a width of about five streets and about 400 shops. At this scale, all the big men can count it. According to the locals, this is only one of the four business districts in Xiangyang City, and the prosperity of this city is indeed beyond Tian Fan's imagination.
Tian Fan chose a street at random, and went in with a few girls and a few bodyguards. The management of this business district is still very interesting, and the five roads are all so-called pedestrian streets, which means that cars are not allowed to enter. Some shops, such as those that sell heavier goods such as grain, have warehouses in other places. After the buyer sees the goods, he picks up the goods and goes to the warehouse. Tian Fan nodded while watching, the operator of this business district is very smart!
I remember that someone summed up such a sentence in my previous life, the most painful thing in the world is to accompany a woman shopping! That said, men tend to be inferior to women in terms of stamina, especially when it comes to shopping. Women stroll around all morning, still alive and kicking, while men...... And you can't show that you're tired or impatient, or you're going to ...... Quite serious!
This sentence is applicable regardless of the era, including the Eastern Han Dynasty. Tian Fan accompanied these six girls, but he was tired of him! Every store, they have to go shopping, whether it's useful or not, anyway, it's pleasing to the eye, they have to take a look, look at it for a long time, and don't buy anything! The same jade shops, the same jade products sold, they also have to take a very serious look at it and compare with each other. …,
An hour later, I didn't buy much things, but the place really ran a lot, and Tian Fan couldn't hold it anymore! I saw a pottery shop across the street, said hello to a few girls, and went there.
In the polite welcome of the shopkeeper, Tian Fan walked into the store. The scale of the store is very large, not only pottery, but also all kinds of lacquerware, woodware, the goods are quite complete, several rows of tall shelves are full of storefronts, and the goods on the shelves are also dazzling. Declined the hospitality of the shopkeeper, he walked in all directions with his hands behind his back, and wandered around by himself.
Suddenly he found a porcelain vase on the shelf, well, or a white clay vase, which made him very interested! The shopkeeper saw Tian Fan pick up the white porcelain bottle, hurriedly stepped forward, and asked politely, "This son, do you like that bottle?" Tian Fan nodded and said, "Shop, where did you get this porcelain vase from?" The shopkeeper replied: "Hehe, this is a small family, and I saw that ten of them came in when they were fresh." I didn't expect it to be unpopular, it's been more than half a year, and there are still six left that haven't been sold! ”
"Oh? Do you know where that family lives? ”
The shopkeeper shook his head and replied, "I really don't know!" How? Sir, want to buy this kind of goods in large quantities? ”
Tian Fan bowed his head slightly and said, "I do have this kind of thought!" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in annoyance and said, "You know, I'll go in a little more!" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting outside the door: "Shopkeeper Liu, have I sold my batch of bottles?" ”
Tian Fan turned around when he heard the sound, and saw a thin man with a height of seven feet and a tattered dress walking in! The shopkeeper Liu said to Tian Fan: "Sir, it's him!" This bottle is his family's! ”
The man was about twenty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he was too thin and looked malnourished! Tian Fan clenched his fists at him and said, "I don't know this brother's surname?" ”
The man listened to Tian Fan's question, and did not answer immediately, but looked at Tian Fan suspiciously, and then looked at Shopkeeper Liu, who hurriedly said: "This gentleman wants to enter your white porcelain vase in large quantities!" ”
When the man heard this, his body trembled with excitement, and he bowed to Tian Fan helplessly, and said, "This gentleman, you really have vision!" My porcelain vase ......" Tian Fan didn't wait for him to finish, waved his hand to stop him, and said, "Brother Tai, don't be busy talking about your goods!" I have seen your goods and I am very satisfied! It's just that now I want to cooperate with you, I will contribute funds, you will contribute technology, and mass production of this kind of porcelain vase, can you take me to your workshop to have a look? When the man heard this, he nodded happily.
At this time, Huang Yueying happened to come over, and when she heard Tian Fan say that she was leaving, she immediately stopped doing it, and took Tian Fan's hand and said coquettishly: "Brother Tian Fan, you said you wanted to go shopping with us!" ”
Tian Fan patted his head and said, "Oh, look at my memory!" He said apologetically to the man: "Brother, I won't go today!" You leave an address, and I'll be there tomorrow! Although the man was helpless, it could be seen that the other party couldn't get away with something, so he agreed!
He said: "Mr. Tian, my surname is Li, my name is Li Liang, the word is new, you don't want to be called Brother Tai!" Tian Fan nodded and said, "Okay, hehe, my surname is Tian, you don't want to call Mr. Mr., or call me Boguang!" Otherwise, you can call me Brother Tian! Li Liang was also polite, nodded, and said, "Since this is the case, then I will not be polite!" Tomorrow, I will sweep the couch at home to greet each other, and I hope Brother Tian will arrive soon! ”
Tian Fan thanked Shopkeeper Liu, said goodbye to Li Liang, and followed Huang Yueying back to the jewelry store.
