It wasn't until the afternoon that everyone was finally busy and gathered at the restaurant.

Everyone has been cleaning up from the morning to now, Qiao Xitan has no time to cook, so he directly asked someone to go to the nearest restaurant to book a table.

Originally, during this time, everyone's appetite had been nourished by Qiao Xitan, but because he was really vicious today, no one spoke at the dinner table for a while, and everyone was immersed in hard work.

After eating and drinking, he took a sip of barley tea and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Sister, why don't you put that sofa here, I want to sit on it when I eat." ”

"Just sit behind closed doors, if there are guests, the outside lobby and restaurant guests can see it, and they can't make them feel that we don't fit in here." Qiao Xitan was very sober.

Many things in the modern era are good, but they cannot be completely copied from the ancients.

For example, this table, chair and bench, although it is a little harder, but the thousands of years of inheritance in China are not completely unreasonable, it may be uncomfortable to sit, but sitting on it, people are upright.

Moreover, it is not suitable to fly the eaves and arches everywhere, and to put those Western furniture in later generations everywhere.

In this way, if people see it, then the Qiao family may become an alien existence in the eyes of outsiders.

Qiao Xitan didn't dare to take this risk.

nodded suspiciously and didn't have to ask to the end.

On the other hand, he was very sympathetic to Qiao Xitan's sobriety.

After a few busy days, Qiao Xitan and the others finally became familiar with their new home.

Qiao Xitan finally freed his hand and knocked on the back door of Qingfeng Xu Lai Pavilion in the blue sky and daylight.

"Tell you the bustard mother, I am Qiao Xitan, and I have something important to discuss with her." Qiao Xitan said to the little guy who came to open the door.

The little girl slept hazy, and was a little unhappy, but when he heard the words "Qiao Xitan", he suddenly woke up, forgot to let her into the yard, and ran away through the back door.

The suspicious man dressed up and followed behind her, and asked puzzledly, "We have a recipe for making incense powder, why don't we sell it ourselves?" Wouldn't cooperating with this bustard give her a lot of benefits in vain? ”

"The husband is not guilty of his crimes, and a few of us who have no foundation in the common people, if we rashly take out the incense powder and sell it, after making a profit, we will definitely be targeted by people with intentions." Qiao Xitan walked into the back door with suspicion and sat down under the verandah unhurriedly.

"This old bustard has opened a brothel in Lin'an for so many years, it can be regarded as a local snake, let's find her cooperation, firstly, we have found a reliable ally, and secondly, this place is a distribution center for news and personnel, and the white lady's incense powder is launched here, so naturally someone will advertise it for us." Qiao Xitan plans to cultivate suspicion well, so he has no reservations when he talks about this, "Instead of spending money to find someone to do the promotion that may not be effective, it is the most cost-effective to give some money to the bustard's mother." ”

Suspicious of understanding now, he nodded suddenly, "Sister, you're really right, you're really the third smartest person I've ever met!" ”

"Who is the first and second smartest?" Qiao Xitan was amused by her statement and asked.

"The first is my brother, and the second is my father." Skepticism without thinking.

Qiao Xitan was curious, "Your brother? Tu Ye still has a son? ”

It's no wonder that Qiao Xitan asked so, although he is usually not called Tu Ye "Aya", but Tu Ye introduced it so at that time, saying that he was his daughter.

Qiao Xitan only suspected that he was rebellious at this age, so he didn't respect Tu Ye so much.

When he was asked like this, he was shocked to realize that he had slipped out.

However, she only had a weak heart for a moment, and immediately made it up, "Tu Ye is just my adoptive father, my biological father has long since died, and my brother's whereabouts are unknown." ”

"How did you get separated?" Qiao Xitan had been spinning continuously some time ago, and she didn't have time to understand her suspicious life experience, so when she heard her talk about it, she couldn't help but sigh.

The suspicion was full of cold sweat when she asked, but fortunately, at this time, the old bustard finally came with Lingniang with a sigh, which saved the suspicion from fire and water.

"Tan Niang!" The old bustard saw Qiao Xitan again today and became a lot more enthusiastic.

Ling Niang and Qiao Xitan met each other, and the three of them were very happy to reunite.

"Let's talk about it inside." Ling Niang saw that the bustard mother was about to stand in the backyard and talk with Qiao Xitan in her hand, so she immediately reminded her.

The bustard's mother relied on Lingniang to earn a lot of money during this time, so she was interrupted by her at this time, and she was not angry, but happily brought them into a richly decorated flower hall.

Qiao Xitan went straight to the point, took out a volume of planning and unfolded it in front of the old bustard, "Cooperate to sell incense powder, I have seven and you three, do you do it?" ”

The bustard's mother was stunned by Qiao Xitan's straightforward words, and immediately reacted and smiled at her, "Tan Niang is really a cheerful person, but I only account for 30% of ......."

She didn't finish her sentence, but made a look of embarrassment.

Originally, the bustard's mother thought that Qiao Xitan had to cooperate with her, so she had been waiting for Qiao Xitan to pick her up.

But who knew that Qiao Xitan didn't seem to understand the deep meaning of her words, and only drank tea with a calm expression.

After no one spoke for a long time, the bustard's mother finally blushed, "Three achievements and three percent, but you have to come up with this material." ”

Qiao Xitan smiled secretly in his heart.

The bustard's mother estimated that the cost of making incense powder was very high, so she was reluctant to bear this part of the cost, but what she didn't know was that if those herbs were purchased in large quantities, the cost of a box of incense powder was actually less than three cents.

But she still had to pretend to be unhappy on her face, "You take 30% of the profits, and I don't want you to bear all the costs, some of them should be borne." ”

"I'm also a small business, not only responsible for the rent of drinks, but also responsible for the food and clothing of the ladies in the cabinet, and I am also stretched thin every day." The bustard's mother cried poor.

Qiao Xitan made a helpless contemplative look, and after a long time, he endured the pain and said, "I don't want you to bear the cost of the incense powder, but you can always be responsible for the container containing the incense powder." ”

The bustard's mother rolled her eyes, thinking that those porcelain bottles and jars should be cheaper than incense powder, and after thinking for a while, she immediately nodded in agreement.

"You take a look at the plan first, and I'll come over tomorrow night for the first wave of promotions." Qiao Xitan pointed to the first line of the planning book, on which the process of the first wave of promotion activities was written.

The bustard's mother agreed, and left with the plan, leaving Lingniang to talk to Qiao Xitan and the others.

"How are you doing these days?" Suspicious and Lingniang have lived with her for more than a month, and she is much closer to Qiao Xitan.

Ling Niang did not wear makeup at this time, and the red birthmark on her chin was clearly visible.

She smiled heartily, "It's very good, you don't know, since I returned to Qingfeng Xu Lai Pavilion, the people who came to see the White Lady almost crowded the ordinary guests to no foothold, I just need to put on makeup every day, go out to dance, this time is also comfortable." ”

Suspiciously, he thought this was very good, but the smile on Qiao Xitan's face was only faint.

"It's not a long-term solution." Qiao Xitan hit the nail on the head, "Those people always get tired of seeing the White Lady, and we can't expect what the bustard mother will do to you at that time." ”

Ling Niang nodded approvingly, "I also know this, so I've been saving money all this time, if it's really time for everyone to get tired of seeing the White Lady, I'll redeem myself and leave Qingfeng Xu Lai Pavilion." ”

After a pause, Ling Niang hesitated a little, "I just don't know what else I can do when I leave here?" ”

"Maybe you don't have to leave here." Qiao Xitan had already made a plan, "You might as well stay here and be my contact." ”

Ling Niang has lived in Qingfeng Xulai Pavilion since she was very young, no matter how bad it is, it is half of her home.

What's more, this bustard mother is okay with her.

"What do you mean by a docking person?" Ling Niang's eyes lit up instantly.

Qiao Xitan explained, "Every time I come to do an activity, I can't be followed by the bustard's mother all the time, at this time, I need a subordinate to do these chores instead of her, such as bookkeeping, doing hosting work, communicating with the ladies, and maintaining customers, which are all the work of the docking person." ”

"That's fine!" Lingniang didn't think about this, she originally thought that these jobs were done by the turtle slaves next to the bustard's mother.

"I'll mention this to the bustard's mother, so you can stay at ease." Qiao Xitan patted Ling Niang on the shoulder.

The three of them talked for a while, and only then did they leave Qingfeng Xu Lai Pavilion.

When the two returned home, Qiao Xitan began to shout as soon as they arrived in the main hall.

However, after shouting for a long time, not only did he hang slightly, but he didn't even respond to Tu Ye.

She and Ji Yi searched around the yard for a long time, and finally found Xuan Wei and Tu Ye who were paralyzed into two lumps on the sofa in the study, and there were two steaming foot soaking buckets at their feet.

Qiao Xitan: "......"
