Chapter 232: The Jade-faced Fox Xiao Wu's Shopkeeper
The scene changed from noise to silence, and no one dared to make a sound.
Shopkeeper Feng stomped his feet in annoyance, why was he so unlucky, he was caught as soon as he got out of the car.
He lowered his head and wanted to quietly return to the carriage.
Who knew that Chu Qing still saw him, he waved his robe, got off the horse and walked quickly to the shopkeeper Feng.
"Shopkeeper Feng?"
Shopkeeper Feng is the shopkeeper of a rice shop on Chang'an Street, and he bought a lot of grain from there to distribute to the victims during the famine a few days ago.
Shopkeeper Feng looked embarrassed, and squeezed out a stiff smile in embarrassment, "The grass people meet the prince." ”
"Get up, what are you?" Chu Qing squinted his phoenix eyes and glanced at the carriage next to him.
The rest of the shopkeepers in the carriage held their breath, and they didn't dare to penetrate the atmosphere, for fear that Chu Qing would discover their existence.
"That...."Shopkeeper Feng wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and looked at the people in the carriage with a pleading look.
But even if he saw through the carriage, none of the few people in the carriage wanted to support him, and he began to regret it.
"We're going to leave Xin'an City."
He didn't hide it at all, he wanted everyone to die together.
"Oh? Out of town? Where are you going? Chu Qing didn't directly dismantle Shopkeeper Feng's thoughts, and asked slowly.
The sweat on the forehead of the shopkeeper Feng accumulated more and more, his legs shook into a sieve, and he knelt on the ground without doing anything.
"Lord, forgive our sins, we just want to save our lives."
Instead of putting the blame on himself, he used the evocative word 'we'.
When Xu Xiaoxiao arrived, he saw Shopkeeper Feng kneeling on the ground with a pale face and begging for mercy, and there were many people gathered around him.
Everyone was discussing the intention of Shopkeeper Feng's remarks.
She was worried that the leakage of the news would cause panic in the city, so she hurried to Chu Qing's side and whispered to remind him that there were people around him.
Chu Qing nodded clearly, "Shopkeeper Feng, why don't we go to the Xuanzhao Courtyard to talk about where there are freshly picked peaches." ”
"Peaches?" Shopkeeper Feng thought he had misheard and repeated it, "The prince started talking about fresh peaches? ”
"That's right, freshly picked peaches." Chu Qing replied affirmatively.
Shopkeeper Feng was stunned, how could there be peaches in this season, I don't know if he was surprised, even the other shopkeepers hiding in the carriage were suspicious of what Chu Qing said.
"Could it be that the prince plans to imprison us?" The shopkeeper Nan said with a pale face and trembling lips in fear.
Shopkeeper Liang slapped him on the back, "What nonsense, we are just a small shopkeeper, and if we want to be confined, we are also a big man like Shopkeeper Wu." ”
Shopkeeper Chen felt that Shopkeeper Liang was right, but now the situation is unclear, with so many people watching, the prince will not do anything to them.
"Just go."
The other people had always listened to Shopkeeper Chen and Shopkeeper Feng, and since he had spoken, the rest of them were not easy to refute.
The carriage moved in an orderly manner towards the Summoning Courtyard.
Shopkeeper Chen led the rest of the other shopkeepers out of the carriage.
Chu Qing raised his thick eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Yo, are you also there?" ”
The shopkeepers looked embarrassed and smiled, "Grass people, meet the prince." ”
Chu Qing ignored a few people and walked towards the Xuanzhao Courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Lin Qingquan, who received the notice to receive the VIPs, was waiting for you in the courtyard of the Xuanzhao Courtyard early in the morning.
After seeing Chu Qing leading a group of shopkeepers into the courtyard, he hurriedly stepped forward to show his goodwill.
"Grass people, meet the prince."
"Hmm." Chu Qing was not in high spirits, and walked perfunctorily to the greenhouse.
Xu Xiaoxiao followed behind him and explained with a smile, "He was in a bad mood today. ”
Lin Qingquan originally thought that he had done something wrong, and he didn't dare to move nervously.
In the end, after listening to Xu Xiaoxiao's explanation, the tense nerves finally loosened a lot, but he was scared to death.
Everyone followed Chu Qing into the greenhouse, and when everyone saw the scene in the greenhouse, they all let out exclamations.
The eyes were wide open, the mouth was big, and some people couldn't believe the scene in front of them, and kept rubbing their eyes.
"Feel free to sit down, everybody." Chu Qing sat in the bamboo pavilion on the west side of the greenhouse.
Shopkeeper Feng took the shopkeeper behind him and entered the pavilion while marveling.
"Lord Wang, this is here?" Shopkeeper Chen couldn't help but ask first.
The rest of the shopkeepers also pricked up their ears curiously to listen.
"Here? It is a small place to grow vegetarian fruits. Chu Qing disagreed, and the tea had already been prepared on the table.
After hearing this, the shopkeepers looked at each other in surprise.
Shopkeeper Nan lowered his voice and turned back to Shopkeeper Liang and said, "Didn't you say that Xin'an City was short of food?" Why are there so many fruits and vegetables grown here? ”
"Do you wonder why there are so many fruits and vegetables here?" Chu Qing noticed everyone's puzzled expressions and said slowly.
Everyone nodded their heads again and again, holding their breath and listening carefully.
"All of this was secretly cultivated by the shopkeeper Xu, and she had long since discovered that it was not a long-term solution to transport grain back to Xin'an City from outside the city, so she developed this place with this king."
After Chu Qing finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Xu Xiaoxiao on the side.
Xu Xiaoxiao was eating peaches with a good taste, and when he heard Chu Qing name himself, he raised his head in a daze, and rolled his eyes blankly.
It was Liu Qiaoer who stabbed her in the back a few times behind her before she reacted and quickly got up.
"That..... That's right, the prince is right, and we have also prepared an indoor commercial street to withstand the cold for the coming winter. ”
She had already condensed her words, but when she finished speaking, the shopkeepers in front of her still did not understand what she meant.
Wu Ping, who had not made a sound, couldn't look at it anymore, and he sighed helplessly, "The meaning of Shopkeeper Xu is to build an indoor shop like this, which brings together all kinds of shops. ”
"That's right." Xu Xiaoxiao gave Wu Ping a thumbs up.
The shopkeepers finally understood, looked at each other and nodded.
"But it's not a few months before winter, and it takes a long time to build a house like this, right? And if you bring together so many shops, both the area and the materials are huge. ”
Mr. Feng agrees with this novel business model, but also puts forward his own opinions.
If this model could be implemented, then he wouldn't have to leave Xin'an City.
"Don't worry, the location has been confirmed, the materials are ready, and we have experience in this area." Xu Xiaoxiao, in order to increase the feasibility of what he said, took out the drawings and spread them on the table.
She has always had the habit of carrying drawings with her.
Everyone looked down and looked at the architectural drawings on the vellum, many people could not understand it, but some people recognized the owner of the land.
"Isn't this the land west of the city of Wu's shopkeeper?" The shopkeeper said excitedly.
"Exactly." Wu Pingping replied peacefully.
The shopkeeper Liang did not participate in the research drawings of the crowd, but was thinking about the problem, and he always felt that the young shopkeeper in front of him was very familiar.
