Qingzhou and Yuzhou are the two wealthy states in the north of Jinguo, and the state capital is even more prosperous.

Lin Taohua lifted the curtain of the car window, looked at the spacious street with four carriages running side by side outside, and then looked at the people on the street who were dressed in silk or green shirts, and said with a smile: "Qingzhou really lives up to its reputation, the market is so prosperous, it is a good place to do business." ”

Hu Yi said: "Compared with Yuzhou Mansion, Qingzhou Mansion has a much larger area and more population, so it is originally stronger than Yuzhou. I heard my husband say that the prefect of Qingzhou is open-minded and has its own focus on agriculture and commerce, and it is not like other state capitals to suppress businessmen in many ways, so over the years, the number of businessmen doing business in Qingzhou has increased day by day, and Qingzhou City has also expanded twice. ”

Lin Taohua nodded: "The eldest prince of the family also admires this Lord Zhao very much, saying that he is a businessman's confidant." Hehe, now that I see it with my own eyes, I feel a lot more at ease. ”

While talking, the carriage traveled to the Jushi branch, Hu Jian got out of the car to send the post, and the Hu people Fu Lin peach blossoms came down.

The porter accepted the post and went in to report, and after a while, Ju Weifeng came out.

"Madame has finally arrived, hehe, I've been waiting for a few days."

Lin Taohua blessed her body: "It was supposed to be two days early, but it took two days to buy and sell piles on the road, so that the young owner remembered it." ”

"Madame can find business wherever she goes, no wonder my father praises Madame for her unique business acumen." Ju Weifeng laughed while letting Lin Taohua and his party into the living room, and asked the maid to serve tea.

Lin Taohua remembered the desktop with a turntable, so she took the opportunity to say: "Business is looking for me, if I can't do it, I have to ask a friend for help." Hehe, I came this time, one is to visit the young owner, and the other is to recommend a new product to the young owner. ”

Ju Weifeng came to be interested, "A few years ago, you sent a pair of weaving gift boxes, so that my father opened suddenly, at present, my family's craft workshop has been opened for business, and Mrs. brought news to me, hehe, it seems that Ju has to make efforts to help Mrs. find a good shop, in order to express his gratitude to Mrs. Ah." ”

Lin Taohua didn't be polite to him, after all, she was new to Qingzhou, and she was unfamiliar with life, so she really needed to rely on friends to help her in many things.

Ju Weifeng roughly introduced the commercial layout of Qingzhou to Lin Taohua, so that Lin Taohua had a general impression of the distribution of various industries in Qingzhou. Next, he focused on giving Lin Taohua a detailed explanation of the high-quality shops he had collected these days, and made an appointment to accompany her to the field tomorrow.

After the business was discussed, Lin Taohua told Ju Weifeng about the idea of the round table turntable, Ju Weifeng thought about it and said that he should be able to do it, and then invite her to look at him when he has some eyebrows, Lin Taohua smiled and agreed, and said goodbye by the way.

Walking to the door, Ju Weifeng patted his head and said with a smile: "Look at my brain, the most important thing was almost forgotten." ”

Lin Taoqi said: "What's the matter? ”

Ju Weifeng said with a smile: "Madame wants to do business in Qingzhou, so she has to visit the president of the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and some local squires with a face in Qingzhou will also visit one or two." ”

Lin Taohua thought about it. opened a store in Qiongya before, because of Xiahou Yue and Yueyang, the local snakes, she opened her business very smoothly, and then no one came to trouble her. In Qingzhou, she doesn't have anything to rely on, so it's better to follow the rules.

"What the young owner said is, then there is Lao Shaodong to help me introduce it."

Ju Weifeng said: "The president of the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce is surnamed Zheng, and he is very easy-going, I will take the time to visit in the afternoon, and I will inform you when I get the letter." Oh, and haven't asked Madame where she is staying? ”

Lin Taohua said: "Wait a minute, I'll go to Yahang to rent a yard, and then send someone to inform the young owner." ”

Ju Weifeng had no opinion, and after the two sides said a few more words about President Zheng's preferences, Lin Taohua left in a carriage.

Leaving the house, it was almost noon, Lin Taohua went back to the inn directly, and then took everyone to the famous Yuelai Restaurant in Qingzhou for a big meal.

In the middle of eating, Zhou Wen informed Lin Taohua that the prefect of Tianqing Prefecture arrested a rogue in Tianhe Pharmacy the day before yesterday, and wiped out a wave of bandits in Tianjiazhuang and Qianlianglou. Lin Taohua was overjoyed, and the depression in her heart finally disappeared.

After the group had eaten, Lin Taohua took Xiaodouding Zhou Zheng to shop around the snack street in Qingzhou, bought a bunch of small snacks, and then went back to the inn.

Ji Yu completed the task assigned by Zhou Wen, found the inn at noon, and said that he had set up a three-entry courtyard in the east of the city. So, the group packed up their luggage and moved directly to East Street.

In the afternoon, Lin Taohua sent Hu Jianyi to inform Ju Weifeng, and she and Zhou Wen took Ji Yuhu to Baiwei Street, where the food industry in Qingzhou gathered, for an afternoon.

This shop is a restaurant business, although the store is beautiful, but the location is located at the end of Baiwei Street, turn a corner to the snack street, the environment is relatively noisy. Ordinary wealthy families do not like to feast in this environment, and the people who often linger in the snack street will not patronize this kind of big restaurant. Therefore, the business of this restaurant was very bleak, and I think it had to be resold because of the heavy loss.

Lin Taohua wanted to make more popular foods such as hot and sour noodles, and she should have opened a shop in the snack street, but for Jinguo, this thing is a rare thing, and it can't be concluded that people with some money and status will not come to eat. If she drove directly to the snack street for the sake of popularity, it would be regarded as shutting out these people who think highly of themselves. The location of this store is just right, and it would be better if she could take care of both classes when she renovated it a little.

She was very excited, and after walking out of the store, she has been thinking about whether to take the store down in advance.

"Peach Blossom has taken a fancy to this store?" Zhou Wen asked.

Lin Taohua nodded: "Don't hide it from big brother, I came to Qingzhou to open a Wuweizhai branch." Isn't this a potato business in Houliang Building, so I want to open a restaurant specializing in selling potato vermicelli. This place is right next to the restaurant and the snack street, which is very suitable for my food business. ”

Zhou Wen said with a smile: "In this way, we can go to the Ju Wood Workshop to turn around first." ”

"It's easy to say that the silver is a little early. The eldest brother also knows that the potatoes in Houliang will not be harvested until this autumn. I'm going to put the store down now, and it's a bit of a waste to be empty here. ”

"If it's suitable, buy it first, and you'll have to use it in the autumn at the latest, and it's okay to be empty for a few months. Many of the people in Izumo Mountain are from Qingzhou, so I originally thought that I would bring them back to the mountain villa to settle down first, and then send them here when your business starts. If this store is down, you can place them here first, and familiarize yourself with how to be a good citizen in advance. ”

When Ji Yu heard Zhou Wen's words, he stepped forward and said, "That's good." Hehe, madam, you don't know, although we are grassy, but in the end we are from Qingzhou, and it is a little reluctant to leave suddenly. ”

Hearing this, Lin Taohua smiled: "In this case, let's go talk to the shopkeeper." ”

"I don't need my wife to go out, I'll go in and talk to him." Ji Yu took the initiative to ask.

Lin Taohua saw that he was so positive, so he agreed, but instructed: "I see that the owner of this shop has a difficult face, I think there is something at home and I am in a hurry to get rid of it, you can inquire, if you are in a hurry to use the money, don't suppress the price, and it is convenient for you to be convenient with others." ”

Ji Yu smiled and said: "Madam is really kind-hearted, don't worry, I know it." ”

After Ji Yu left, Lin Taohua and the others went to the teahouse at the entrance of Xiaoshi Street to wait.

About half an hour, Ji Yu came back, said that the matter was done, and handed the transfer documents to Lin Taohua for a look.

"Sure enough, as Mrs. said, the proprietor did have an urgent matter at home, so he had to resell the shop." Ji Yu sat down and drank a glass of water, and said.

Lin Taohua read the paperwork, wrote it in detail, and didn't set any traps, so she asked Ji Yu: "What do you say?" ”

Ji Yu sighed: "This owner's surname is Qiang, his ancestor is from Qingzhou, and later the family moved to the capital, and only one vein was left in Qingzhou." This shop was handed down from their ancestors, and the business was also very prosperous before the state capital opened a snack street, and after the snack street was booming, his business here was bleak. ”

"Just because this shop is the place where the ancestors started, even if the business is cold, the Qiang family has never planned to sell it. A few days ago, news came from the capital, saying that his mother was seriously ill and needed a lot of silver, and the strong owner had exhausted the family's money but still not enough, so there was no way to sell this money-losing store. ”

Lin Taohua sighed when she heard it, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are impermanent, alas, this owner is also a filial son." ”

Ji Yu agreed: "I heard from the guys in the shop that the brothers and sisters of the Qiang owner family in the capital have given up on treating their mother, and he is the only one who is still insisting, and now the huge medical expenses are paid by him alone, and the burden is very great, alas." ”

Lin Taohua was moved, took a pen and paper envelope from Hu Yiren, hurriedly wrote two letters, and after sealing them, he got up and said, "Big brother, let's go meet this owner." ”

Zhou Wen saw what she wrote and knew that she was moved by compassion, so he followed her into this restaurant called Zuixianju, wanting to see if this strong owner was a credible person.

"Qiang Dongjia, this is my wife, she wants to buy your shop."

When Qiang Yueyin heard this, he hurriedly saluted and asked, "Has Madame read the contract documents?" I've asked the guy to pick up the deed, and if it's okay, I'll go directly to the state capital to sign and sign the mortgage later. ”

Lin Taohua was also blessed, and chuckled: "I have seen the paperwork, it is very fair, just sign the contract directly." I came to see the owner to ask him for a favor. ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Madame, please say, Qiang, who can help, will never refuse. ”

Lin Taohua took out two letters from her sleeve and said abruptly: "I just heard from my buddy that you are going to the capital." My husband went to Beijing to take the exam after the New Year, and there was no letter to report his safety at this time, so I was very worried in my heart, so I wrote a letter in cursive, and wanted to ask the owner to help me bring it to the Yuzhou Hall in the capital. ”

Qiang Yueyin said with a smile: "It turns out that Madame's husband is a learned scholar, disrespectful and disrespectful. Mrs. is not polite, the letter is handed over to Qiang, and Qiang must bring it to Mrs. ”
