Chapter 237: Tea Gathering
The next morning, the shopkeeper Cui went out to talk about business, Sun Dong and Tan Xiaotian did not go out, and the shopkeeper Xiao Liuzi was still very puzzled, strange that the two of them only arrived yesterday, why didn't they want to visit the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou? Could it be that both of them have a pair of scuds, and when they went out to eat with Lin Baoliang yesterday afternoon, they turned around all the prosperous places in Yangzhou City? If that's the case, that's a wonder. asked Sun Dong what was going on, but Sun Dong talked about him left and right, which made him foggy, and he didn't know what the reason was.
Fortunately, this problem did not bother him for too long, when the sun was three poles, there was a noise outside the house, and when he went out, he saw that there were two carriages parked in front of him, one of the cars moved the door curtain, and a child came out of it, dressed in fine clothes, and the one who wore it was called a particular, and took a closer look, but it turned out that the child who came with Lin Baoliang yesterday afternoon and called Lin Baoliang 'grandfather'.
Xiao Liuzi suddenly became nervous when he saw it - when he didn't know the identity of the other party, he could see people talking about people, talking nonsense, being exquisite, and familiar with it, but after knowing it, he was inevitably nervous in his heart, for fear that he would accidentally make this Lin Baoliang's baby grandson unhappy and make the God of Wealth unhappy, and save the promise he made before to bring a big customer over, and the shopkeeper Cui must not kick himself out of the door when he comes back?
"Yo, little master, why are you here? Did you come with your grandfather? Hurriedly ran to the car, Xiao Liuzi asked enthusiastically, and his eyes were still looking at the other car following behind him to see if Lin Baoliang was in the car.
"Why, you look down on me, and think I can't recognize the road without my grandfather?" Lin Zicong turned his face and asked rhetorically like a little adult.
"Uh, hehe, little master, you are a big ghost, and you are not old when you are ambitious, where do I dare to underestimate you." Xiao Liuzi hurriedly changed his flattery.
"Hee-hee. Nonsense, where to say. It doesn't matter if I don't know the road, just someone knows. By the way, is it every day? Lin Zicong said with a smile, jumped out of the car and asked urgently.
"Yes, yes, I'll call him to go." As soon as he heard that Lin Zicong was looking for Tiantian, Xiao Liuzi hurriedly agreed, and quickly walked into the store to call someone.
After a while, Tan Xiaotian came out of the store. followed by Sun Dong and the little six sons who ran errands, seeing Lin Zicong, Tan Xiaotian was very happy, and immediately chatted in front of the store.
"Little master, don't get down to business." Lin Zicong is a seven-year-old child, Lin Baoliang can't just let him do things alone, someone who looks like a housekeeper next to him reminded.
"Oh, hehe, I almost forgot. Every day. Grandpa and Brother Sun have something to talk about, so you can play with me today. With a pat on his head, Lin Zicong remembered his mission and hurriedly said.
"Uh, Brother Dong. Didn't you say that you were going to report to Yangzhou Chess Academy today? Tan Xiaotian turned his head and asked.
"Oh, there's no rush to report to work, it's not much worse a day earlier and a day later. You play with Brother Zicong and come back at night. Tell me where they've gone, okay? Sun Dong said with a smile - today's itinerary was discussed with Lin Baoliang yesterday, and it is inconvenient to negotiate with Zheng Jigong. And staying in Liu Ji Commercial Bank was afraid that the children would be idle and bored, so they let Lin Zicong take them to play.
"Okay, Brother Zicong, let's go." It is always easier for children and children to find a common language, not to mention that it is the nature of children to be playful, where would Tan Xiaotian think more, since Sun Dong agreed, he immediately urged Lin Zicong to set off quickly.
The two children got into the car one after another, and the coachman waved his horsewhip, and the sound of horses' hooves made the car move away.
Looking at the carriage that was getting farther away, and the laughter of the two children could still be faintly heard in his ears, Sun Dong's mood became even more serious - is his first choice really right?
"Mr. Sun, are you going to see Boss Lin again?" Standing next to Sun Dong, Xiao Liuzi asked enviously - the same people don't have the same life, his age is about the same as Sun Dong, and his size is about the same, when it comes to articulate, he can speak well, and he is even better, but he met Lin Baoliang on the first day he arrived in Yangzhou, and he became a guest of others, and he has been born and raised in Yangzhou for so many years, but he is still a small shop guy who needs to look at other people's eyes and beg for life.
"Yes. You may not come back at noon, and you don't have to wait for me for dinner. Sun Dong could see the envy in Xiao Liuzi's eyes, and his heart was firm at this moment - people go to high places, water flows to low places, people live for a lifetime, grass and trees for autumn, isn't it just a breath? Opportunities are not available all the time, once missed, may not come again for the rest of your life, since the opportunity to change your life appears in front of you, you can't let it go no matter what!
"Oh, got it, you're good to go." Xiao Liuzi answered, and watched Sun Dong get into another carriage and walk in another direction.
There are many teahouses in the south of the Yangtze River, perhaps it is the difference in cultural customs and habits, the teahouses in the south are generally not as big as those in the north, so lively, most of them are characterized by exquisite and small, the store is not very large, but it is quiet and elegant, the environment is comfortable, it is very suitable for three or five friends to sit together to enjoy tea and chat, talk about poetry, order a pot of fragrant tea, a few plates of dried fruit snacks, and sit for a few hours, so some businessmen also like to choose this kind of place to talk about business.
The place where the shopkeeper Cui talks to people today is in a teahouse called 'Yipinxiang', in Yangzhou, the scale of this teahouse is relatively large, the building has three floors, with four tea tables, each tea table is separated by a carved screen, the window is open, and the cold spring breeze blows in from outside, which makes people feel very refreshing.
As most of the time, the so-called time to really talk about business is not very long, like the shopkeeper Cui, who has been in the business for more than ten or twenty years, a few people are not shrewd like ghosts, and those things in the business field are all clear, almost as long as you mention the beginning, you can guess the purpose of the other party, so similar to this kind of meeting, probing news, and winning over the relationship account for more than that, and the real key part can be completed in a few words, and it is often decided before it is spoken.
Today's situation is similar, after the business to talk about is over, it is time to chat, most of the things we talk about are what happened recently in Yangzhou, what new house has been built, what family has married a concubine, in short, where you want to talk about it, all according to everyone's interest.
