"Let's go, let's go eat."

Qin Jing opened his mouth, and Su Zijin and the others followed, without giving the master and servant a look, but they did not hinder them, and the two of them followed behind the four of them and went to the restaurant together.

"Xiao Er, your signature dishes here are all up!"

The maid Xiaoqing spoke anxiously, and took the lead in speaking before Su Zijin and his party.

"Okay, wait a minute, the two guest officers will serve you right away! One Grand Slam in the hall! ”

Xiao Er's loud shout sounded, making everyone in the lobby look sideways.

This Yuelai Restaurant focuses on affordability, so when the meal is approaching, the people who eat in the lobby are the nearby workers, and at this time, everyone turned their heads to look at the unjust head who came to Yuelai Restaurant, with interest in their eyes.

Xiaoqing's master and servant, as if they were in the limelight, raised their chins and waited for Xiao Er to serve the food.

Su Zijin looked around at the meals of others, and saw that they were all large and affordable meals, so the four of them only ordered three dishes, and let Xiao Er go down.

After a while, Xiaoqing's meal came up, a large table of affordable meat, vegetables, and a large pot full of rice, which made the master and servant dumbfounded.

There were people around who watched the excitement, and when they saw the expressions of the two, they laughed contentedly.

Su Zijin ate his own quietly, and in the afternoon, they had to go shopping, which was manual work.

After lunch, Su Zijin and the others walked out of Yuelai Restaurant, and Xiaoqing's master and servant had long since disappeared. Maybe I felt ashamed and didn't follow a few more people, right?

"Shopkeeper, you seem to have a lot of salt places here, and I saw a salt shop just now."

Su Zijin bought a jar of salt in a grocery store, and asked the shopkeeper while buying.

The shopkeeper saw that a few people were dressed extraordinarily, and he was also happy to gossip with a few people, "A few people don't know, don't we have ten salt merchants in Xuzhou, and these salt merchants have their own salt roads, among which the salt roads of the Shen family are in our Xuzhou." The salt shops you see are all opened by the Shen family, and we stay in a small place in the county, so only three are opened. Salt shops are treated equally, the more you buy, the cheaper it is, you can buy it for a penny, and they also have goods if you buy a boat. Small businesses like us couldn't sell salt in the past because they didn't have the capital. Now that we have a salt shop, as long as we buy a stone of salt, they will give us three cents cheaper, so we will buy a stone and sell it in our grocery store, so as to give convenience to those who buy less. ”

Su Zijin and the others nodded when they listened. It is in Kyoto, the threshold is required to sell salt, which leads to the large Kyoto, there are only a few shops that sell salt, and now stay here in the county, but it is better than other places, salt itself is a daily commodity, so you can buy it without walking a few steps, which is a lot more convenient.

At the end of the walk, everyone simply hired a car and really bought a stone of salt.

Guo Yixing pushed the wheelbarrow unskillfully, Cheng Mingliang was on the side, and excitedly told everyone about his grand plan, "The salt in Xuzhou is really cheap!" Cheaper than Kyoto's Sanbun! If we buy a boat, it is estimated that it will be cheaper, and when we go back, we will buy a boatload of salt, so that the cost of this journey will not only be earned, but maybe there will be a surplus! ”

Everyone only smiled and didn't speak, but the more Cheng Mingliang spoke, the more excited he became, "This boat of salt is thousands of taels, how about we do this business to earn some pocket money in the future?" Hey, those people in Kyoto want to make money, but they don't have a way, and if you want me to say, they should really go out and walk around like us, you see, isn't there a way? ”

Seeing that everyone was only laughing and silent, Cheng Mingliang pulled people a little puzzled, "Hey, Brother Guo, Su Shenling, how about it, you also participate?" Let's do it together? One thousand taels for a boat, find a few more ships, and we'll send it! ”

Seeing that Su Zijin only smiled and didn't speak, Guo Yixing thought for a while and spoke, "It is said that Caoyun is muddy water, if you want to do this business, try the water first, let's follow you to see the quality." ”

Speaking of Cao Yun, Cheng Mingliang didn't know what to think, he didn't have the excitement just now, and he muttered for a long time before he finally spoke, "Try it and find out." ”

Su Zijin didn't say much, they only knew after trying, and when they returned, they would naturally know.

Back at the inn, a few people took advantage of the cool evening in the courtyard under the bag, and talked about what they saw and heard today's while eating.

"There are more than ten times more shops in Liuxian than in Surabaya, and the two cities are adjacent to each other, and the gap is so far, I don't know why."

Cheng Mingliang said with some puzzlement.

"Could it be that the wind in the south of the Yangtze River smells of money? Can't open a shop in the Northland? ”

Cheng Mingliang looked at Su Zijin and Qin Jing and asked this question.

Qin Jing groaned, and Su Zijin looked at Cheng Mingming, "Since you don't understand, let's practice it." Let's open a shop here, and then let people go to Surabaya, and open a shop too, and when we return, see how much profit the two shops make, don't you know? ”

Cheng Mingliang nodded hesitantly, "Okay, what I say is speculation, let's give it a try!" ”

After speaking, Cheng Mingliang sighed with emotion, "It's really not easy to do something." I heard that Cui Lingchuan and Cui's eldest brother served as an official outside, and there were more than ten masters and assistants for him at home, all of whom were old people with rich experience. So I heard that Brother Cui is very free in office, not only accepted beauties as companions, but also recited poems with the talents in office all day long, I heard that after this year's autumn exam, if you can show a few talents, Brother Cui can be promoted and transferred to Kyoto. ”

Cheng Mingliang said, and quickly explained, "I'm not saying that Brother Cui is bad, but I think Brother Cui will be an official." No, no, I mean, we have a lot of things here, and there are still some teachers and adjutants, and it is easier to be assisted by experience. ”

Cheng Mingliang said, scratching his head, "I don't mean anything else." ”

Guo Yixing listened to Cheng Mingming's words and also pondered.

The first time they went out, they had a lot of ideas. Cui Lingchuan is different from them. They are from noble backgrounds, and their families are all from the military, unlike Cui Lingchuan, their families are all masters who take refuge in various places, and there is not necessarily the kind of talent that you say, but all kinds of officialdom common sense have given Cui Lingchuan a lot of help to go out to be an official.

"In the end, it is a family of eunuchs, who know more than us, and can see it clearly, and maybe they will rise faster in the future. We are all big and coarse, so we just lead the soldiers, and we specialize in the art industry. ”

Guo Yixing said with a wry smile.

"Oh, I said what is Brother Cui doing, we just came out, and it's normal to have a lot of clues, I can't say that we will see more in the future, and we will see more than Brother Cui. When the time comes, everyone is in Kyoto, and at that time, Brother Cui can't compare with us, and he doesn't have the opportunity to travel when he is young! ”

Cheng Mingliang said loudly.

Guo Yixing listened, then reopened, raised his glass and looked at everyone, "The fourth prince, Su Shenling, Mingming, let's have a drink." Celebrate our trip to Beijing! ”

Su Zijin and Qin Jing glanced at each other and toasted together.
