Chapter 51: Opening (I)
The square in the eastern part of the lower city is more lively than ever before, everyone gathers in front of a large building covered by a curtain and whispers, there are insiders in the neighborhood who said that this was originally a freight warehouse, the boss went home a month ago to save the shop and cashed out the shop, the new boss has recently remodeled and renovated to make a big scene, but it is strange that it is hidden tightly from the inside out. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
No one knew the background of the mysterious new owner, or even what products his newly opened store was selling, and the people in the crowd had different opinions.
"Hey, have you met the owner of this shop?"
"No!
"I'll tell you, I've seen it! I heard it's a very young child!"
"How is it possible, I heard from the owner of the flower shop that the man who bought the warehouse from old Endrick spent almost 100,000 gold coins, which is more than double the asking price. ”
"You are stupid, where is there a brother who will open a store in this lower city, just say that if you Lemmon has a property that can spend 100,000 yuan without blinking, let alone open a store, your whole family will live here. ”
"Needless to say, Lao Tzu will definitely move to Midtown...... No, it's enough for me to move to Uptown and settle down, I see what you mean, it really doesn't look like something like a superior person would do. ”
"That's not necessarily, you didn't see what happened when the owner of the store was looking for someone to renovate the store when it first changed hands, that scene......!
"What do you mean?"
"Do you know who the people who came to work? Well, let me tell you...... What are you poking, and I won't say anything about poking again!"
"What are you selling, you can't store two taels of oil in your stomach, don't say it, you can't suffocate you, I don't know this bit of virtue of your kid! ”
The man who was counted down cleared his throat and began to break the news:
"Soros, the 'Saw King' of 'Shining Gold', the top carver of 'Golden Rose', and the master builder Florence!"
"Nonsense, how can these people help a shop in a slum to decorate, it's not just a matter of money. ”
"It's true, I'm not the only one who saw it on the spot, if you don't believe it, you can ask the bystanders of the day for verification! So I said that the owner of this shop must not be simple, you must know that the craftsmen who led the team that day said that they came here on the commission of the steward of their own chamber of commerce, and you said that this boss could not have a backstage based on this friendship!"
The obedient people next to him all showed surprised expressions, the few chambers of commerce mentioned in the mouth of the person who broke the news just now are all large chambers of commerce that are among the best in the empire, and any one of the chambers of commerce is enough to become the guests of ordinary wealthy families and low-ranking nobles, and at the same time, it is definitely not an ordinary relationship with the favor of these chambers of commerce.
"That's it, it's not that the dragon is not the river! I've heard that the merchants in the shopping street and this square in Dongxia City are holding their breath and are ready to make trouble for this store from time to time, but according to the current posture, it is not certain who will find trouble with whom! I have never heard of a stuffed long-eared rabbit that can beat a fire crystal wolf! They should always be a little self-aware. ”
"But in this way, I'm curious about what this store is for, no matter what his identity is, it's not to lose money to play, look at the early cost is probably extremely amazing, if there is no special ability, let alone make money, it is enough to recover the investment, so some business types can definitely be ruled out, but this is Xiacheng after all, and no one will patronize the business types that are too luxurious, which is hard to guess!"
"Hey, whatever! What kind of heart do you have for others, if people are rich and powerful, they can still be like you if they really lose money?"
"Mmmm, I'm more concerned about this than this!"
As he spoke, the man took out a delicate medallion from his pocket that looked like a magic pattern, and there seemed to be bright lines like magic lines all over it, forming a strange and quaint pattern.
"Oh, yes, I have this too!" Seeing this, many of the others also rummaged through their pockets, and then pulled out exactly the same objects.
"Where did this come from, is it of any use, and does it have anything to do with this store?" some people didn't seem to get it.
"You didn't get it, that's a pity! Little Jamie on Front Street you know!"
"Oh, it's that kid! I know that it's a good kid to take care of my sick sister by myself, and this thing has something to do with him?"
"But no, he has been running around the streets with those children in the past few days, and when he meets people, he says that there is a new store opening today, and he also sends this stamp to the people he meets, saying that he can receive a gift by participating in the opening celebration with this stamp that day. ”
"Really, and gifts! It's a pity, I haven't encountered such a good thing. ”
"Hehe, I took two from those kids, give you one, remember to invite me to drink next time!"
"Definitely, definitely!"
"Whoever has extra stamps there, can I divide them......"
The process of sharing the prize stamps caused a small commotion in the crowd, but it was quickly overshadowed by an even more intense agitation.
"Look, that's ......"
As the voices looked, what caught everyone's attention was a long line of ornate carriages, and as the hobbies and the shopkeepers guided them, the carriages stopped in order in an open space, and it seemed that the owner of the shop was expecting the presence of these people of status.
According to common sense, the characters who can afford to sit in this kind of carriage will not easily come to such a dirty and poor place as Xiacheng, so it must be specially invited by the shopkeeper to support the scene, which is a good proof of the extraordinary identity and background of the shopkeeper, and the next people who gradually got down from the carriage seemed to be in order to cooperate with this inference, and their identities caused bursts of exclamations.
"Solari of 'Flash Gold', Sanchez of 'Golden Rose', Jiwen of 'Four Leaves', the presidents of the four major chambers of commerce of the empire have reached three, I was really right just now, the relationship between the three presidents in person is not ordinarily good!"
"Not only that, you see that there is the president of the Wharf Association, that is the deputy head of the Tempest Mercenary Regiment, and don't look at the fat man over there is inconspicuous, forty or fifty percent of the vegetable and meat supplies in the royal capital are handled by his family. ”
"Do you know who that one is?!Viscount Chris, he's an outlier among the nobility! Except for the food that can make him tempting, he usually doesn't go out easily, is there still food in the lower city that he can look at?"
"Oh my God, I'm not dazzled, it's actually the carriage in Duke Kerry's mansion, how can this shopkeeper invite the people around the 'Duke of Kamui' to cheer!"
In the end, the whisper finally reached its peak when Master Leonard's figure appeared, and Xiao Yi had already gone out with Zode to greet him when the carriages entered one after another, which finally satisfied the curiosity of the curious crowd and finally saw the true face of the mysterious boss.
And seeing Xiao Yi very calmly surrounded by VIPs from all walks of life, looking at the state of the conversation and the expression on the other side, it is obvious that he has a good relationship, and some people have begun to doubt that Xiao Yi should not be the illegitimate son or side branch of a powerful family, otherwise he would not have personally done this kind of out-of-the-box business and could still be cared for by so many big people!
After communicating with all the VIPs present, after everyone's discussion, it was finally decided that Master Leonard would open the new store.
Xiao Yi led Leonard to the curtain at the main entrance, handed a rope that was not too thick to Leonard's hand, and then after the alchemist guild elder gently tugged, after a sound of bamboo and wood colliding, the curtain around the store fell naturally like a wave of water, revealing the true face of the store.
The words "happy life" are engraved on the big wooden plaque on the front entrance in the continental lingua franca, which is obviously the name of the store!
I didn't expect this mysterious shop to be a "restaurant"!
