Xiao Jinyou finished handling things and hurried to the commercial street.

This street is full of people at this time, if you haven't been here before, it is difficult to imagine that this is the street of Qiongzhou Mansion.

Seeing that there were many people on this street, the vendor who sold groceries also moved his location here, and when he saw that there were sugar gourds for sale, he asked Fu Lu to buy two bunches.

Xiao Jinyou came to Wanbaolou with two sugar gourds, and as he expected, Qiao Qiao was talking and laughing with people in the store.

The other party is none other than Shen Cai, the richest man in Zhejiang.

He put away his smile and came to her: "I saw an old man selling sugar gourds, you have a bad appetite today, and the hawthorn is appetizing." ”

Qiao Erya smiled, she took the sugar gourd: "I didn't expect there to be a sugar gourd in this season, it will melt in the heat." ”

Xiao Jinyou held another string in his hand: "There will be no more in half a month." ”

Zhong Heming interjected to ruin the atmosphere: "Big nephew, don't you eat it for me." ”

Qiao Erya hurriedly guarded the food: "I saw the stall outside, let your little maid buy it for you." "I knew that I was bullying her boyfriend.

Zhong Heming raised his eyebrows: "Yo, this is protected before you enter the door, believe it or not, I, who is an uncle, will wear small shoes for you." ”

Qiao Erya was not afraid of him: "Wear it, wear it, if there are good things in the future, we can't blame us for not being filial, who let Xiao Jinyou have an uncle who wears small shoes." ”

Xiao Jinyou said with a straight face: "Uncle, don't talk nonsense outside. ”

The rich businessmen had already left, and Shen Cai stayed to talk to her because he was interested in Qiao Erya, and the two had a good conversation, so he wanted to match her with his unfilial son, but he didn't expect to let him know such amazing news.

It's good that I didn't say anything, otherwise I would have robbed the future emperor of people. Even if he is the richest man, he will not dare to rob a woman with the Son of Heaven if he is given ten dares! He is so in love with Miss Qiao, it seems that he can only make a New Year's friend.

In fact, Shen Cai doesn't care who the future emperor is as much as he seems, if the five princes inherit the unification, then the businessmen in the world will have to be suppressed by the Zeng family.

He has been in business for decades, and his eyes are vicious, and this King An has only been in Qiongzhou for a few days, so he asked these businessmen to go voluntarily, which shows that his ability is not small. He and Miss Qiao hit it off at first sight, and Miss Qiao called King An's name and was all right, and it seemed that it would be no surprise that he would be the master of the harem in charge of the phoenix seal in the future.

He was reluctant to take the treasures in the Ten Thousand Treasures Building, and it was said that there were more strange things that he had not brought back. The spot in the store is changed every quarter, and if you want to buy it, you can only wait for the next time it hits the shelves. It is said that this is called a limited-time unlimited sale, and it is not certain that the price will increase in the future.

Shen Cai had a lot of thoughts, and it was time to make a decision.

Qiao Erya was exchanging words with Zhong Heming: "Just eat hot pot, the three fresh pots taste good, don't always think about eating spicy." ”

Zhong Heming wanted to eat barbecue, he hadn't eaten barbecue in the palace, and he was very curious about how Hu people ate it.

But Qiao Erya took into account the large number of people, and there was also Shen Cai, a guest, so he was not well entertained when he ate barbecue. What's more, hot pot is the main signature of this commercial street, and barbecue can be eaten at any time.

"Forget it, then hot pot, I can't talk about you." Zhong Heming hated that iron could not become steel and looked at his nephew, "You don't care about her, she will be lawless, beware of riding on your head in the future." ”

Qiao Erya hid behind Xiao Jinyou and snickered, Xiao Jinyou said helplessly: "Uncle, you always recruit her, rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry." Jojo has a good temperament and won't be like you say. ”

Zhong Heming was scolded, his chest was tight and short, and his nephew's elbow went to his hometown.

Shen Cai has traveled all over the world, and he has also eaten hot pot. However, just like Miss Qiao said, the hot pot in the capital is mainly spicy, he has never eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas, and people who can't eat spicy food go to eat the hot pot in the capital to find themselves unhappy, except for the spicy taste of the picture, it is not linked to the food.

The hot pot restaurant was less than ten meters away, and Qiao Erya and Xiao Jinyou entered the restaurant side by side.

The lobby on the first floor was full of friends, Qiao Erya didn't know them, but Shen Cai was extremely familiar with every face.

Yes, the rich merchants who went to the island together came to eat hot pot together. Many people didn't find Wanbaolou, they just got tired of walking around and smelled the aroma of hot pot and followed the smell to find it.

The two brothers, He Shu and He Qi, were upstairs in the private room, and they had to grab the place in the private room early, otherwise they would have to sit at a table in the lobby with a group of boatmen who were difficult to get into the elegant room.

Qin Niang didn't go to the hot pot restaurant with the two maidservants, she couldn't take her eyes off the whole way, and she was very curious. She couldn't act like she hadn't seen the world, but after all, she didn't move at the door of the bubble tea shop, and her whole person seemed to be glued to the ground.

After a while, three women appeared in the bubble tea shop, one of them was graceful and looked a little familiar.

Qiao Erya's private room is next door to the He brothers, and both sides missed it perfectly.

But even if they meet, they can't talk a few words, He Shu and He Qi are eating with sweat on the tip of their noses, and their faces are buried in the bowl and they don't raise their heads, this food is not as good as being looked down on by them in the lobby, if they are seen by Taifu, I am afraid that they will have to beat them hard.

Qiao Erya ordered the mandarin duck pot, and let Xiao Er serve the store's special drinks, sour plum soup and hawthorn juice.

She took the initiative to introduce Shen Cai: "When the food stalls open later, you can also try the fruit beer and cola in the store, which are all unique drinks in our Qiongzhou." ”

Shen Cai took a sip of hawthorn juice: "You put a lot of sugar in this, the fruit is well handled, and it can't taste sour." ”

He didn't say that the hawthorn juice was too sweet, but due to the limitations of the times and technology, the handmade hawthorn juice and sour plum soup could not avoid the sour taste of the fruit, plus the sugar was not cheap, and they were generally reluctant to put sugar, and the taste was even more general.

In this era, there is no original ecological saying, if it is not delicious, it is not delicious, and I would rather drink white water than accept the sour hawthorn juice and the sour and bitter sour plum soup.

Qiao Erya also didn't expect that the free all-you-can-drink juice for three days of opening has become the signature of the hot pot restaurant, and the highest evaluation from customers is that she is willing to put sugar, sweet and sour, and she can't cry or laugh when she knows it.

Her sour plum soup and hawthorn juice are both bought with drink powder and jam, so they will taste like pulp when they are drunk. The climate in Qiongzhou can naturally grow sour plums and hawthorns in a large area, but the problem is that this is a hot pot restaurant, not a drink shop, so there is no need to make the drink so high-grade.

Who would have thought that it was such a cheap juice that didn't cost money, but it was the most popular.

Qiao Erya smiled lightly: "If you like it, you will bring someone to bring a pack of sour plum powder, even if you go home, you can brew it yourself if you want to drink it." You can make a cup of hot water in the cold. ”

Shen Cai's face was surprised: "Isn't this good, the signboard of your store is just given to me?" ”

Qiao Erya couldn't cry or laugh: "What kind of signboard is this, the free drink for three days of opening, a pack of sour plum powder can be used by several tables of people to drink all-you-can-drink, but it is just a little water-consuming." "Fortunately, there are abundant groundwater resources on the island, otherwise you would have to pay for water.

Shen Cai couldn't see through her a little. Obviously, she has just started business and opened so many shops, but why doesn't she seem to care about money at all, it seems that in her eyes, she is satisfied with doing business as long as she earns back.

"Okay, you take me two packs each, and I'll pay to buy them from you. Don't say that you don't charge money, how can an elder of mine be embarrassed to take the things of his juniors for nothing. ”

As soon as Shen Cai's words came out, Zhong Heming subconsciously looked at Xiao Jinyou. This old man Shen didn't let go of his mouth in every possible way, the old treacherous and cunning waited for which side had the advantage to take a stand, how could he become an elder who loved the younger generations after chatting with Miss Qiao for a few words?

Qiao Erya smiled and said: "This mutton tastes good, it is a local characteristic goat meat in Qiongzhou, the goat is free-range by farmers, the meat is fresh and tender, cut into thin slices and crystal clear, and can be soaked in a clear soup pot." ”

Shen Cai was suspicious and picked up a piece of mutton roll and put it in the clear soup pot, "Won't it smell like mutton when you put it in this pot?" ”

He had eaten mutton shabu, but the experience was not very good, and the smell of mutton filled his mouth, and since then he has stayed away from mutton.

"No, just try it, I'm very confident in the local lamb." It's the signboard of Qiongzhou, and it's really unpalatable and doesn't spread from ancient times to modern times.

Shen Cai fished it out of the pot, this mutton slice was very thin, not like a large piece he had eaten, maybe it was really just bad luck last time.

He dipped the lamb roll in a bowl and put it in his mouth with a death-defying attitude, and then his expression became puzzled.

"It's exactly like what you said, the meat is tender and has no smell."

Shen Cai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it turned out that the delicious mutton was this taste, and it was delicious and delicious.

"yes, do you think this sheep would be easy to sell if you took it out?"

Shen Cai was stunned: "It should be easy to sell, the last time I was invited by a friend to participate in the sheep feast, the smell of the sheep is very strong, and it is already the most tender sheep cub selected." ”

Qiao Erya only knew that there were local special goats after checking the history books, and she was full of praise after eating. Unfortunately, the cost of raising sheep is too high, and no one wants to open a farm.

If we can open up trade routes and sell live sheep directly, I think more people will be willing to become farmers in the future. The people in the inland regard the land as the foundation of the family, and the family will only be able to have good land. However, in Qiongzhou, it is not that the people do not want to farm, but that the seaside is very alkaline, and not every household can plant the land.

Some fields cannot be planted and can only be cultivated. The fields cultivated in the mountains can only grow the most basic crops, and if you want to grow rice, you may not get a harvest. But breeding is different, Qiongzhou is not lacking in mountains and grasslands, where the vegetation greening rate is high, you can completely divide a mountain stocking, and sprinkle grass seeds on the reclaimed fields as farms.

Shen Cai toasted to her: "My friend may also come to Qiongzhou today, if he can meet him, he will definitely be interested in this business." ”

Jorya clinked glasses with him: "I've always been lucky, maybe I can meet him." ”

What they didn't expect was that this friend didn't order mutton when he ate hot pot with someone in a hot pot restaurant two hours later, but instead ordered mutton skewers at a food stall with his companions at night, and kept muttering about the heavenly things.

Qiao Erya got acquainted with Shen Cai today and gained a lot. She found that Shen Cai was not as cunning as Zhong Heming said behind his back, he was obviously a kind elder, and he also taught her business experience.

She proposed to set up a big ship, and Shen Cai laughed,

"Qiao girl, how do you know I have a boat?"

Qiao Erya said in her heart, isn't it obvious, Shen Cai went to the island today and brought a fleet over.

"Your fleet is not an ornament, and I think your ship looks more atmospheric than the ship next to it."

"Yes, I really have an empty cargo ship here, but you have someone here who can sail the ship?"

Zhong Heming interjected halfway: "Don't worry, don't you believe my connections?" ”

"I'm really not worried, it is said that you are not the best friend of the young master of the Zeng family, why don't you see the Zeng family to help you."

Shen Cai's yin and yang weirdness poked Zhong Heming's sadness, he was actually cheated by someone, it was really a great shame!

Joerya gloated and explained for him: "Let's not poke his wounds, he has been angry for a few days and nights because of the pit." Then he made a lot of money from the Zeng family with his backhand, and earned back five times the money that was pitted.

I don't know what he used to sell all the glass beads. The cheapest models are sold for five taels of silver, not to mention the pure color glass beads, which is still the wholesale price.

Qiao Erya felt that Zhong Heming was like the kind of goblin who eats people and doesn't spit out bones.

Shen Cai really didn't smile this time, but was meaningful: "I thought that Zhong Xiaoyou was in a nest with the young head of the Zeng family, snakes and rats." ”

Xiao Jinyou looked at his uncle, and Zhong Heming touched his nose weakly.

It turns out that this is the case, he also said why he couldn't win over Shen Cai, the Shen family had a disagreement with the Zeng family, and he was close friends with Zeng Wuyan before, and people were generous-minded when they could take care of him.

Qiao Erya begged someone to do something without ambiguity, and directly handed out a beautifully packaged wood carved box.

"See if you like this."

Shen Cai hurriedly waved his hand: "What do you think of me, since we have a fateful acquaintance, don't fix these vain, I know that you are a straight girl, we have something to say, and we don't want to give gifts." ”

He felt that Qiao Yatou's business philosophy was very similar to him, as if he saw himself when he was young. However, Qiao Yatou has someone behind her, and she will not learn to use intrigue and trickery after falling a few heels like she did at the beginning. It's nice to have someone to protect him, it's like he's looking at another self.

Jorya deliberately provoked his curiosity: "Really don't take a look?" This gift will not be sold, and it is usually only available to friends who have a very good relationship with me. ”

Shen Cai was really interested, there was nothing for sale in Wanbaolou, and it was definitely not something that could be seen everywhere. But he was really entangled in his heart, just to help her find a boat how to receive a thank you gift, and he was not a greedy person.

It was Xiao Jinyou who came forward to say a few words, and Shen Cai's curiosity overcame shame and accepted the gift box from Qiao Erya.

Qiao Erya held her face with both hands: "Open it and take a look, don't be burdened, this is a gift between friends." If you really don't want to go... In this way, I need a set of tea sets for the elders, and I hope you can recommend a few good styles. ”

Shen Cai opened the box and said casually: "What's so difficult about this, I have a friend who is doing this kind of business, and we just met on the boat." ”

Seeing the contents of the box, Shen Cai felt that his breathing was about to stop.

It turned out to be a small clock, several times smaller than the wall clock at home, so that he could wear it to check the time at any time when he went out.

Qiao Erya smiled and introduced: "This thing is a watch, which is used to wear it on the wrist to watch the time, and it is the best choice for going out." ”

Everyone fattening should also see the updated position in the last two days of the month, otherwise it will affect the data very much.
