Ye Li set off early in the morning, and it was almost noon when he arrived in Xishi. As Lin Zhihe said, the West Market is indeed relatively backward compared to the East Market and the South Market, and the pedestrians on the street are dressed very ordinarily, and there are far more small vendors on the street than there are shops with stores.

Because of this, many merchants can't do it here, and many storefronts are posted with signs for sale.

The two of them casually found a noodle shop to sit down, and opposite was a ready-to-wear shop, and business was bleak.

"It stands to reason that it shouldn't, although the West Market is not as prosperous as other places, but the people here always need food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there is no reason why they can't even do a garment shop, right?" Ye Li was puzzled.

"You're from somewhere else, aren't you?" The shopkeeper greeted warmly, "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?" ”

Ji Xu asked with the attitude of a rich boy, "What signature dishes do you have here?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned and said proudly: "The most famous thing in our store is the hot sauce beef noodles!" ”

Ji Xu frowned: "Noodles? ”

"Beef noodles with hot sauce?" As soon as Ye Li heard the name, he felt that it would definitely not be bad, "Bring me a bowl and put more spicy seeds." ”

"What about this guest officer?"

Ji Xu said: "It's the same as her." ”

"Okay, wait a minute."

As soon as the shopkeeper finished shouting, he sat down with them and chatted: "The ready-to-wear shop opposite only opened a month ago, and only a few people went to see it when it first opened, and the boss is now worried about how to sell the shop!" I remember last time I was buying dim sum, and I sold the shop in less than half a month, and I didn't make any money at all. ”

"Why is that?" Ye Li asked.

"Let's do business here, if there is no distinctiveness, the people will not buy it at all." The shopkeeper said proudly, "Just like our Jingxi Noodle Restaurant, although it has only been established for four or five years, it can be regarded as an old signboard in the West Market." The rest of the shops have several owners a year, and they do everything. Of course, if you don't move out for a year or two, there are many people who will die. ”

Chi Xu said: "Why don't the people here buy it, can it be that they don't wear clothes and eat?" ”

"Poor!" "Although this area is in Shengjing City, most of the people who live here moved from Lijia Village five or six years ago, and they used to live by hoeing and farming. It's okay to have a man at home, do some manual work outside, and save even if you earn more money, where will you spend it indiscriminately? ”

"There are so many people in Xishi, all of them moved from Lijia Village?" Ye Li was surprised, no wonder the business in the West Market was not doing well.

A large part of the people in Xishi are the villagers of Lijia Village, they used to live a life of male farmers and female weavers, after moving to Shengjing, they lost their original life skills, and learned to do some small business, but there is no business door, and it is inevitable that they cannot do it.

"Hey, this is not something that was done by repairing the imperial mausoleum before, the national teacher said that Lijia Village is a blessed land, where the imperial mausoleum is repaired, it can ensure the eternal peace of Cangwu Kingdom." The shopkeeper sighed, "The beef noodles for the two of you should be ready, and the small ones will be served to you." ”

"What's going on with the Emperor's Mausoleum?" Ye Li asked in confusion, with a faint dissatisfaction.

Demolishing people's villages and building ancestral tombs is really immoral enough, even if it is the emperor, it is difficult to calm people's hearts by doing so.

Ji Xu asked, "Don't you know about this?" I remember that it was your eldest brother who led the demolition of the village! ”

Ye Li's face became more and more ugly, this kind of lack of morality, the emperor is smart, let outsiders do it, and he is still a general admired by the people of the whole country. Although the last thing she wants to see now is Ye Changfeng, after all, he is her eldest brother, he is used as a gunman, can she be happy?

"Yo, are you alone, this guest officer? Come and see, something to eat. As soon as the shopkeeper brought two bowls of beef noodles, he was busy greeting the other guests.

This beef noodle with spicy sauce looks very delicious, the noodles are leek leaf noodles, the beef is large and tender, and the hot sauce is poured all over the layer.

Ye Li couldn't wait to add a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, and couldn't help but praise: "This little second really didn't deceive people......

Ji Xu didn't move the chopsticks in a hurry, coughed dryly twice, and seeing that Ye Li really didn't react, he kicked her under the table.

The piece of beef that Ye Li had just picked up rolled on the table with a clatter because of his kick. Her face turned dark, and she said angrily: "There is something wrong with you! Lose my meat! ”

Ji Xu was speechless, and while making eye contact with her, he leaned over and whispered, "Look behind you." ”

Ye Li's eyes were not good, but he still turned his head, only to see that Qi Junmo didn't know when he also came to this restaurant, sitting on the tables in the two rows behind them, as if he was listening to the second brother of the shop introduce the dishes.

"Alas, did you quarrel with King Jin? It's not because of me, is it? Ji Xu asked.

Ye Li glanced at him, then took his bowl of beef and ran over to sit beside Qi Junmo: "When did you come over, why don't you sit with me?" ”

Qi Junmo glanced at Chi Xu, who was about to sit down, this indifferent look made Chi Xu not know whether it was suitable to sit down, but they all came over, so he had to sit down hard, and said with a smile: "Jin...... Why is my brother also in the West Market, what a coincidence. ”

Qi Junmo didn't pay attention to him, and only cared about answering Ye Li's question: "I didn't see it." ”

"Okay." Ye Li didn't doubt the truth of what he said, and said with a hippie smile, "What did you order?" ”

Qi Jun Mo said: "I haven't ordered it yet." ”

"Then you want beef noodles too, they taste great!" Ye Li hurriedly recommended.

Qi Junmo: "Yes." ”

The shopkeeper asked on the side, "Then do you want another bowl of beef noodles with hot sauce?" ”

"Hey, don't worry." Ye Li said again, "He can't eat spicy, don't put spicy." ”

"Holo." The shopkeeper threw the tablecloth on his shoulder and shouted, "Don't have a bowl of beef noodles with spicy sauce." ”

Chi Xu couldn't help but quip: "Okay, Xiaoli, what King Jin likes to eat and what he doesn't like to eat, you know it so well?" ”

This "Xiaoli" shouted Qi Junmo's face gloomy: "What are you calling her?" ”

"Little ...... Xiaoli. Ji Xu didn't think there was anything wrong with his title.

"She is the princess of Jin." Qi Junmo reminded coldly.

The corners of Chi Xu's mouth twitched fiercely twice, and Ye Li said indifferently: "You don't care what he calls me, the one on the street is called 'Princess Jin', and his identity is exposed." ”

"By the way, are you done?" Ye Li took advantage of the gap between eating noodles and talked to him, "Wait for me to go back in the afternoon." ”

Qi Jun Mo said: "Yes." ”

Chi Xu complained in his heart: King Jin is too difficult to get along with, he speaks with a straight face, and his expression does not change, I really don't know how Ye Li dares to smile with him.

Ye Li looked at eating noodles, and there was only the sound of sucking noodles at the dinner table. By the time Qi Junmo's bowl of noodles came up, Ye Li's noodles had already been eaten, and when they were eating fragrantly, a piece of beef and two pieces fell from the bowl......

She looked suspiciously at the man who was picking beef into her bowl.

Qi Jun Mo's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to jump out of the bowl of beef to Ye Li.

Ye Li hurriedly grabbed his hand, "What are you doing?" Such a big person is still a picky eater! ”

Chi Xu: "...... people are looking at you to eat deliciously, so will they give you the meat?"

He only found out now that Ye Li was smart, but his brain was still lacking.

Qi Junmo didn't explain, Ye Li only acquiesced to him, and said angrily: "Malnutrition is easy to grow into crooked melons and cracked dates, don't pick meat for me anymore." ”

The man frowned, withdrew his hand, and ate his noodles with his head down.

Ji Xu, who witnessed the whole process: "......"

Can these two really get along?

Ye Li and Qi Junmo ate almost at the same time, and there was not even soup left in their bowls. On the other hand, Ji Xu didn't eat a few bites of a bowl of noodles. It's not that it's not delicious, it's too spicy, and the stomach burns uncomfortably after a few bites.

The three of them were about to leave, when two men entered the store, one burly and the other tall and thin. The shopkeeper hurriedly complimented: "Yo, Brother Jia, Brother Fugui, you are here, what are you eating today, is it still the same as before?" ”

The big man responded with irritability, kicked the bench in anger, and scolded: "Hey, these eight lambs, they really don't know the fucking goods!" ”

"Big brother, this batch of cloth hasn't been sold, what can I do?" Fugui said with a sad face, "How do you explain to the villagers when you go back?" ”

Jia Daren glanced at him sideways, and said angrily: "What are you doing in a hurry, isn't there still an afternoon?" ”

In front of the shop, there was a bullock cart of dark-colored cloth parked, perhaps it had been left for too long, and the cloth was stamped with one "dirty mark" after another. But on closer inspection, this is not a dirty mark, but a deliberately chic pattern.

To Ye Li's surprise, the texture of this cloth was unexpectedly delicate and silky, even if it was parked under the sun, it was still cold to the touch.

Seeing Ye Li distracted by the cart of cloth, Chi Xu asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Hey, what are you doing? Don't move, it was Brother Jia who dragged them out and sold it, and they had to pay for it! ”

"This ...... What about that big brother Jia? I'm interested in this cloth, can you talk to him? ”

Before Ye Li's words fell, Jia Daren was already standing at the door of the store, looking at the three of them suspiciously: "You want to buy cloth?" What do you buy it for? I tell you, this is a fine cloth, and if you buy it as a rag or a tablecloth or something, I won't sell it. ”

"How much is a horse?" Ji Xu asked.

"Three taels of silver." Jia Daren glanced at each other, and his tone was full of pride.

Hearing this, Chi Xu couldn't help laughing: "Three taels of silver is considered a good cloth?" Let me tell you, the clothes worn by the master are all dozens of taels of fabric! ”

Obviously, these words angered Jia Daren, took a sip of saliva, and said angrily: "Stupid, don't sell it to Lao Tzu!" ”

Ji Xu: Is ...... so arrogant in business these years?
