Cui Shi still reluctantly followed the car: "Don't walk around, just wait in the shop for a while, I'll call your eldest brother to pick you up!" ”

Du Baozhu couldn't help sighing, her bride was gentle and submissive, respected her husband and loved her son, and she was good anywhere, but she was a little less asserted, panicked at every turn, and her eyes were full of tears.

Sooner or later, she will be cured!

Jinggongfang and Xishi are separated by two or three square markets, and if you take a carriage, you can get to it with a cup of tea.

When Du Baozhu got out of the carriage, he saw a straight street lined with two- and three-story buildings, colorful flags passing over the road, and bright lanterns hanging under the eaves.

All kinds of tricks and tricks are densely packed together, and they don't look messy at all.

There are countless merchants along the street, and there seem to be thousands of them at a glance. The goods sold are exquisite and gorgeous, from food to use to viewing.

There are even a lot of blue-eyed and green-eyed Hu people who are peddling Western utensils!

The liquor store given by Cui's is at the intersection of the two avenues, which can be seen from a distance, and the location can be described as excellent. Du Baozhu remembered that a few years ago, this shop alone could make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

However, in recent years, there have been more and more liquor stores, and the business of this store has gradually deteriorated. Cui's is not good at business, and when he saw that the shop was not profitable, he planned to sell the shop.

Fortunately, she said today that she would move Cui's and come to the store, otherwise such a good site would be ceded by Cui's to others.

Du Baozhu held Zhou's and walked to the door of the wine shop.

The liquor store was closed, leaving only half a door for people to enter and exit. It was dark inside, and I couldn't see it clearly.

Wen Xi stepped forward and knocked on the door, and someone came out in response, claiming to be surnamed 'He'.

The shopkeeper He is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a half-length beard, and his face is quite loyal and honest. Du Baozhu asked, and he led everyone into the wine shop and carefully introduced the situation.

This restaurant is a two-storey building with a 'hui' structure in the middle, with a small low platform for artists in the middle, and a circle of seats that resemble booths.

The second floor is a private room for entertaining guests, and you can enjoy the performances of the artists on the first floor from the inner window, and the view of the street from the outside window.

It can be seen that this shop has been carefully taken care of, why is there still a poor management?

Shopkeeper He sighed heavily when he heard this, looked at Du Baozhu, and then looked at Zhou on the side, and stopped talking.

As soon as Du Baozhu saw his appearance, he knew that Shopkeeper He thought she was too young, and it was inconvenient to tell her some things: "Shopkeeper He, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Yes." Shopkeeper He arched his hand and said, "I shouldn't have taken the ears of these little ladies who are tired of dirty things, but since the little lady has a question, she will answer truthfully." ”

He let out a long sigh and spoke slowly.

The Tang people love to drink, and selling alcohol in Kyoto is a very lucrative business. There are more and more shops that can sell alcohol, and there are many liquor stores, and business is difficult.

Originally, everyone did business in a proper manner, although it was difficult, but they also had their own income. But recently, some people have pushed the price of wine lower than the cost of winemaking. As a result, other small liquor shops were squeezed out of business.

Zhou's has never done a liquor business, so he couldn't help but wonder when he heard this: "How can you sell wine at a lower cost than you do?" Could it be that those people have a new way to save some food? ”

"It would be nice if they really tossed up a new recipe!" Shopkeeper He looked sad and indignant: "The skills are not as good as people, and a certain person is naturally convinced." But what they sell is thin wine mixed with water, and no matter how low the price is, it can't hurt the cost! ”

"Are these drinkers stupid? If you don't drink good new wine, you want to drink that water wine that doesn't taste good? ”

"The lady doesn't know, they use a trick of 'starting out and then thin'. First, the customers are coaxed into the store with strong liquor that is not mixed with water, and when the guests get drunk, they change to thin liquor mixed with water. At this time, the guests are very drunk, where can they still taste the wine, right? ”

"In that case, you just have to follow along, why can't you continue to operate?"

"What the hell!" Shopkeeper He was anxious: "Doing business is about the conscience of heaven and earth, how can you learn from those black-hearted profiteers to fool people?" ”

Hearing this, what else don't you understand?

The shopkeeper He is loyal and honest, and being the shopkeeper in charge of the accounts is quite worry-free for the owner, but he can deal with this kind of treacherous means of commercial dumping, but he owes some heat, no wonder this wine shop can't go on.

Du Baozhu waved his hand and motioned to the shopkeeper He to stop the topic: "The guests who buy wine are not fools, is it true that no one tastes the wine wrong?" Since this business can still be done, it can be seen that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. If we don't do wine business now, don't mix it up. ”

Shopkeeper He is still indignant, but Du Baozhu is the master, no matter how unwilling he is, he can only arch his hand: "The little lady is right." ”

"Well," Du Baozhu nodded, and said, "Since it doesn't sell wine anymore, this shop has to be rearranged, you go find some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and I say you write them down one by one." ”

Shopkeeper He took the order and left.

Du Baozhu also branched out a few subordinates around him, and then turned his head and asked Zhou: "What does the second aunt think of those profiteers and drinkers?" ”
