Chapter 541: Constrained at Every Turn
Xu Laosi took a nap when he got into the car.
When he woke up, he found that he had arrived in the provincial capital.
Bustling streets, bustling crowds.
He was completely stunned.
After thinking about it, I don't think there's anything bad about it.
The provincial capital is the provincial capital.
There are many acquaintances in Shazhou County, and it is easy to meet with their own families, so it is difficult to talk and be constrained everywhere, so it is better to change places, anyway, I am starting again.
The provincial capital is large, maybe there are more business opportunities.
And it's not the first time he's here, Xu Laosi is wandering around with a little silver, and the provincial city doesn't make him stunned.
After being surprised at first, I didn't feel uncomfortable, and then I found a small inn and stayed for a while.
After settling down briefly, Xu Laosi went out on the street to see what was worth doing.
Being a porter is the easiest, it doesn't require any capital or skills, but this business is tiring and doesn't make much money, so he can't look down on it. He is now carrying more than 30 taels of silver, and he naturally disdains to do such work.
Selling tofu? He knows the process of making tofu, but the quality of the tofu he makes is still a little bit worse, and besides, this thing is too slow to make and can't make much money, no.
Sell early? This business can make money, but it is very hard to get up early every day, make the stove, ingredients, boil, cook, and even wash dishes, etc., and so on.
Selling cloth? He has no way to buy goods, and there is no sales channel, if he goes all the way into a cart of cloth, and no one asks for the goods in the end, wouldn't it be a loss in his hands? Forget it.
Xu Lao walked around and watched, tofu stalls, pancake stalls, dim sum shops, grain and oil shops, taverns, teahouses, cloth villages, grocery stalls, all kinds of snacks...... looked at the past one after another, but he didn't find a line that satisfied him.
He even saw a liquor shop, with the word "He" on the huge lantern in front of the door, and the gourds on the counter, all of which were labeled "Qingxi Xu Wine", and there were seven or eight people lined up outside the door......
How similar!
Unexpectedly, it has only been a long time, and even the provincial capital has their Qingxi Xu wine, and there are already people queuing up to buy it.
In this way, first, the He family's ability is great and the road is wide, and the second is that their family's Qingxi Xu wine is really good.
Xu Laosi sighed, at present, it seems that this wine business is the best. It's a pity that the output of this wine was not high, most of it was approved to the He family, and a small part was left in the local county, and he couldn't buy it. Besides, when it comes to selling wine, he definitely can't sell He's family.
Xu Laosi walked around for most of the day, and finally got tired and hungry, so he found a tavern, ordered two dishes, and sat there with a sad face.
What are you doing?
I don't like anything!
At this time, he faintly regretted in his heart. It's actually good to be a shopkeeper in Xu's wine shop, although the salary is not as much as doing business, but there is wow! There are also those customers who buy wine, they are very enthusiastic when they see him, and they hold him. Nowadays, if you have to pay for food and accommodation every day, you can't find a money-making business, what should you do in the future?
"Hey, isn't this Brother Xu?"
Just when he was at a loss, a voice sounded, and he looked up to see two people standing in front of him, a middle-aged man looking at him with a look of surprise, and a younger one next to him.
"You are?" Xu Laosi was puzzled, he didn't seem to know this person.
"Hey, I'm Liu Gen, you asked me about the ancient blacksmith last time, did you forget?" The middle-aged man laughed.
"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Liu......" Xu Laosi suddenly realized, of course he remembered the matter of the ancient blacksmith, but he didn't remember the person in front of him, maybe he forgot it, after all, he was looking for several people at the time, and it was someone looking for someone, so it was impossible to remember them all.
"Oh, I didn't expect to meet Brother Xu here, it's fate! Let's just sit together. Liu Gen didn't wait for Xu Laosi to say anything more, sat on the opposite side, and motioned for the young man to sit too, and then shouted: "Little Er!" Stir-fry a few dishes for us! Add another pot of wine, and our brother will have a good meal! ”
When he met his old man in another country, he was still so enthusiastic, Xu Laosi was in a better mood, "I don't know who this is?" ”
"Oh! Forgot to introduce. Liu Gen still smiled, "This is my good brother, Chen Erpi, don't look at his young age, he is very righteous!" ”
"It turned out to be Brother Chen." Xu Laosi nodded.
"Brother Xu." Chen Erpi also smiled and nodded, looking very easy to get along with.
"Brother Chen is a local, and I came to the provincial capital this time to take care of him!" Liu Gen said, "Of course, Brother Xu is also a bold person, last time he asked a few words, and he gave me five copper plates, which is really interesting!" ”
Xu Laosi said: "Brother Liu is polite. ”
"It seems that Brother Xu is also worth befriending." Chen Erpi took Xiao Er's wine jug and poured it full for the three of them one by one, "Come on!" They're all good brothers, let's have a toast first! ”
"Cheers!" Liu Gen didn't hesitate, picked up the wine glass and poured it up.
"Please."
Xu Laosi saw that both of them were bold people, and he felt happy in his heart, and he also drank it all.
"Ahh Liu Gen exhaled, "This wine is really delicious!" Full, full! He took the flask and filled it for the three of them.
"It's really good wine." Chen Erpi also applauded, "I heard that this wine is still from your Shazhou County?" ”
"That's it." Liu Gen was a little proud, "Our Qingxi Xu wine that just came out of Shazhou County is a first-class product!" ”
Xu Laosi thought to himself, I'm afraid you don't know that this wine is from my family, and you will be stunned when you say it. Thinking about it again, this wine has nothing to do with me now, and I can't help but be stunned.
"Brother Xu seems to have something on his mind?" Chen Erpi held the wine glass and wanted to clink glasses with Xu Laosi.
Xu Laosi touched it absentmindedly, raised his head and drank, "It's a little annoying." ”
"Oh?" Chen Erpi took the wine jug and poured the wine, "Brother Xu, the three of us are familiar at first sight, what are you worried about, can you tell me and listen?" Little brother, I am willing to share my worries for Brother Xu. ”
"Nothing." Xu Laosi drank a few glasses of wine, and his mind was relaxed, "I'm just thinking about finding a money-making business and eating with a mouthful, but I can't find it all the time, and I'm upset." ”
"Whew!" Chen Erpi said, "What should I do?" Brother Xu, doing business is not a matter of one or two days, it is a long time coming, what is there to hurry? You are here with my little brother, are you still afraid that you will not have anything to eat? But if I have a bite to eat, I must not miss Brother Xu! You put your heart back in your stomach and drink well today. ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Drink! It's a pity not to drink such a good wine. With Brother Chen, a local, to help you, Brother Xu, you don't have to worry at all, when you finish drinking, let him help you come up with ideas, what's so bothering? Liu Gen said.
