Zhang Liqiang handed over a name card to the guy at the front counter.

The guy checked the name card, found the name, greeted him with a smile and said, "It turned out to be Boss Zhang, do you have anything important to do when you come to the Chamber of Commerce?" ”

"I want to buy two shops, look at the price, and look for the businessmen of this state by the way, I wonder if there is anyone upstairs?" Zhang Liqiang inquired.

"That master is not here today, just go and ask a steward to buy a shop. That master has something at home today, you want to find it, it is estimated that you will have to find it another day. The guy at the counter said enthusiastically.

"It's hard work, buy some tea to drink." Zhang Liqiang said and put a broken silver on it.

The guy happily accepted it, "I wish you a prosperous business and a lot of money." ”

Then he returned the name card to Zhang Liqiang.

Lin Shuqing finally understood, this chamber of commerce was a little different from her original idea.

In fact, it is an information exchange place where businessmen gather, and convenience is convenient, but it is a bit expensive to ask a few words.

"Miss Lin, come with me over here to have a look."

Zhang Liqiang was familiar with the road and led Lin Shuqing to the backyard.

When she arrived in the backyard, Lin Shuqing felt that there was something else in it. The flowers and decorations in the courtyard are very elegant, and each place can be painted separately.

There are a lot of small maids and maids waiting in the courtyard, looking at the young age, one by one, their hands and feet are numb, and they are never ambiguous in serving tea and water to the guests and sending snacks.

Zhang Liqiang took Lin Shuqing to a small courtyard next to him and sat down, what they were looking for was a principal here, mainly buying shops and other things.

"Do you have any shops here?" Zhang Liqiang asked.

"Yes, there are a few more shops to sell today, I don't know what kind of shop you are looking for." As he spoke, the principal handed over a booklet beside him.

Lin Shuqing and Zhang Liqiang flipped through the manual for a long time, and it was mainly written about the shops around here.

Arranged according to the information from small to large, even with the owner's name and area, and even the reason for buying and reselling after a few times.

It seems that it is still very convenient, and Lin Shuqing also feels that the benefits of this chamber of commerce are great.

After all, it takes a lot of effort to find and ask from one family to another.

Based on the information in this, the two of them screened out more than a dozen shops, wrote down the information, and prepared to look at them one by one later.

"I'm going to take a look at those, thank you." After saying that, the two of them went out with their own pen and paper.

With this information, Zhang Liqiang turned around and went to a corner of the yard, where there was a steward who was busy watching the goods in the yard. Lin Shuqing looked at the decorations and things on this box, and her first reaction was that this was not a cargo that belonged to this side, it should have been transported by Fanbang.

"Have any merchants from Fanbang come recently?" Zhang Liqiang went up and said hello and asked.

The man did not raise his head, but pointed to the goods on his ground and said, "If you had come a while earlier, there would still be merchants from Fanbang." A while ago, a small fleet of boats came, saying that the goods were scattered at sea, and there was no choice but to take this ship to escape and come here. ”

"Now people can't go back without a big boat, and they are working in the city to save money to go home."

"Where are those guys now?"

"What kind of work can Fanbang people do? It is to work as a porter at the wharf in the south and make money for food. The others don't know when they will come, but if they don't come this month, they may wait until after the New Year. ”

"I'm sorry for you, let's go first."

After inquiring about the news here, Zhang Liqiang took Lin Shuqing out of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Boss Zhang, are we going to help that kid find out about his father?" Lin Shuqing suddenly asked.

Isn't it a bit of a waste to come to the Chamber of Commerce and not inquire about this father's news.

Zhang Liqiang made a booing gesture and took Lin Shuqing to the front of the small courtyard on the side.

"Miss Lin, don't mention the matter of the Ghost Vine Country here!" Zhang Liqiang advised.

"The Chamber of Commerce doesn't let you mention the matter of the Oni Fuji Country! It is said that before, a large number of goods were transported over, and all of them were swallowed by the officers and soldiers of the Onito Country, and nothing was left for us, so the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce here was a little angry. If we are not allowed to interact with the mountain people of the Onito Country, we will not be able to transport the goods to this side. ”

After Zhang Liqiang explained like this, Lin Shuqing immediately understood, and even began to understand why their orphans and widows had such a difficult life.

If you are squeezed out by the businessmen here in Hangzhou, it will naturally be a difficult time.

Not to mention that this foreigner will not be treated like a normal person in their place. Even normal people have a hard time, so why bother to see the people of other countries?

"Privately, I'm going to ask other people and ask them for information."

"Okay, Boss Zhang, where are we waiting?" Lin Shuqing asked.

"Let's go to the alley to find the eighth master, he may know where those Fanbang merchants who came here live, and the red fruit you are looking for may be there!"

Hearing this, Lin Shuqing was interested for a while.

I can find the best tomato, and I'm not sad to find her.

Lin Shuqing followed the path led by Boss Zhang, and walked a long way to the eighth master's house.

Lin Shuqing looked at the place name and probably knew that this piece was called Xiaoshu Hutong.

A lot of people who come and go to do business are near this street, which can be regarded as lively, and this area is definitely not cheap, Lin Shuqing sighed secretly in her heart.

When I got to the innermost house of a towering pine tree, I could hear the shouts from inside before I entered the yard.

"Mrs. Hu, let me tell you, if you can't save the two of you today, don't think about going out of my house! If you keep it, I will prepare you twenty taels of silver as a reward. ”

"You'll have to show me, or you'll be gone."

Lin Shuqing and the two stepped forward and knocked on the door and asked, "Is the eighth master at home?" ”

After a while, no one answered, so I couldn't help but step forward and ask.

"Is the eighth master here? Yang Baye! ”

A whirring sound of footsteps approached, and the door slowly opened.

Lin Shuqing looked at the tall man in front of him with a big beard hanging on his face, and he didn't feel a little oppressive.

"Are you the eighth master?" Zhang Liqiang stepped forward and asked.

There are too many beards, and he can't see them clearly, and it's been a long time since he last saw the eighth master, so he can't recognize it.

"yes, phew, no, that's my big brother! Is there anything you guys are up to? The big man asked.

"We are looking for the eighth master to inquire about the news of the businessman on the list, is the eighth master here?"

"Yes, but I'm busy, my sister-in-law gave birth today, you can come back another day." The big man said with a cautious face.

"Ahh

A loud scream of a woman suddenly sounded in the courtyard.
