Chapter 227: Asking for Help

Luoyang is not close to the capital, just to transport a few pots of peonies to the Xie family, which shows how luxurious the life of people in Xie Mingyi's vein is.

Xie Chunhua held a banquet today, in addition to inviting many young ladies to enjoy the peony together, he also wanted to talk to Xie Rongzhao about personal matters.

"I heard that the land occupied by the Drunken Immortal Building belongs to Sister Zhao?"

Xie Rongzhao smiled and said: "Sort of, my aunt bought it for me last year, saying that it was to be given to me as a dowry, but the restaurant was not opened by me, I rented it to them." ”

"I know about this, I heard that the owner of Zuixiang House is a big businessman from Yangzhou, I thought that the whole restaurant was his, but later I learned that the shop was only rented."

Xie Rongzhao didn't understand why she suddenly mentioned Drunken Immortal Tower.

Zuixian Lou is now the hottest restaurant in the whole capital, the place is not only large, but also the decoration and ornaments are also exquisite.

Just covering an area, the pavement alone is worth more than 20 fragrant marinated restaurants.

"The boss originally wanted to buy it from us, but my aunt didn't agree, so I signed the lease contract. Sister Chunhua also knows that in the inner city, you can't necessarily buy a shop if you have money. ”

Shops in the inner city are not only expensive, but they also depend on the identity of the buyer.

Not to mention that the merchant is from Yangzhou, just because of his identity as a merchant, this shop is not easy to take.

Although the Dazhi Dynasty was much more lenient to merchants, it still had to strictly guard against collusion between officials and businessmen, so it basically forbade court officials and even his relatives to do business.

Of course, like a woman's dowry, this is not a big deal.

This is why Liu Ruolan began to look for a suitable shop for Xie Rongzhao early.

The land occupied by the Drunken Immortal Building can be said to be the largest shop on that street, not only a two-story building, but also a large two-entry courtyard at the back.

After renting a complete set of houses, Xie Rongzhao can get hundreds of taels of silver a year.

When I bought this shop, it was not cheap, even if I had Gao's help to pull the line, it still cost more than 4,000 taels to buy it in the end.

Xie Rongzhao saw her mention the Drunken Immortal Mansion again, so he had to say in a roundabout way: "Sister Chunhua, do you want to eat the food of the Drunken Immortal Building?" Then I asked my sister to try it, I don't go out much, and the boss is also a clever person, so he will definitely not ask us for a high price. ”

Now we all know that the food and wine in the drunken immortal building are not cheap, especially the drunken immortal brew, it is said that the most expensive has been sold for ten taels of silver and a jar of wine, which is really sky-high!

Just that kind of small jar, if four or five people are invited together, I am afraid that they can drink ten altars and eight altars.

"It doesn't have to be. Actually, I also have something to ask for. ”

"Sister Chunhua, please speak."

Xie Chunhua is still a little embarrassed, after all, now that the little girl who is two years younger than herself, or the person of the Gaoyang Xie family who is despised by the family, there is always a little twist in her heart.

"That's right, in a few days, it will be my grandfather's birthday, my mother took over the errand of organizing a banquet, and now everyone knows that the wine in the Drunken Immortal Building is good, so my mother also thought of asking them to bring some wine."

At this point, Xie Rongzhao also understood.

Zuixianlou's business can do so well, not only because the food and wine are good, but also because they have a powerful master behind them.

Drunken Immortal House generally sends wine out, basically to the restaurant to drink it yourself, so that the popularity of the restaurant is higher.

However, there are exceptions, for example, a while ago, the old lady of the Yong'an Hou Mansion did his birthday, and he asked them to send two hundred jars of wine to the banquet, which cost a lot of money, not to mention, the most important thing is to talk about a row of noodles!

Because of this, the Marquis of Yong'an has won a lot of praise among the nobles in the capital, and they all say that he is filial and willing to spend money.

Now that Xie Chunhua can mention this drunken immortal brew to her, he must have taken a fancy to this name.

"Sister Chunhua wants me to tell the shopkeeper to bring the wine to the house for a tasting? There is no need for this, Lord Xie is in the third grade, but the big man, as long as you send someone to say it, I think the shopkeeper will definitely send wine over happily. ”

Xie Chunhua had a bitter throat for a while.

How could she not know the family background of the Xie family and send the housekeeper to go?

The point is that now her mother can't come up with enough money, she is a concubine, and she has nothing to do with her, but she doesn't want her father to be complained about by other uncles, so she wants to help.

"I won't tell you the truth, my mother's money has gone wrong, otherwise I wouldn't have begged you to come to me. I have to ask my sister to help me say a few good words, see if it can be cheaper? ”

Xie Rongzhao only felt incredulous.

This kind of thing was actually said by the dignified Miss Xie of the century-old family?

And as far as she knows, the Xie family still has a third-grade master now, far from the point where they can't even get the money for drinks, right?

Xie Chunhua's face was embarrassed, how could she not know that if she said this, she would lose her face?

But if you don't say it, there will really be an accident at this birthday banquet, and I'm afraid that their whole family will not be at peace.

Xie Chunhua thought that he had already opened his mouth anyway, and it was not a sentence or two, so he simply said it more clearly.

"My mother had already withdrawn the silver taels from the public school, but my brother had caused some trouble outside, and my mother had no choice but to take the silver to settle the matter. It's just that in this way, the money in my hand is not enough to support this birthday banquet, so I dared to ask my sister for it. ”

Xie Rongzhao twisted her eyebrows, she was not very familiar with the people here, at most she had played with Xie Chunhua a few times, and she knew that the ladies of the Xie family looked down on her and her aunt.

In that case, why did Xie Chunhua come to her?

If the money is not enough, just borrow it, why bother to ask her for a child?

Besides, Mrs. Xie doesn't have a lot of money in her hand, and it should be her husband and son who are in a hurry first, why does this concubine want to stand up for her mother-in-law?

"Sister Chunhua, I'm afraid I won't be able to help with this. Not to mention that I am just a child, people speak slightly, only to say that the boss is also particular about doing business, the price given to Yong'an Hou did not drop at the beginning, but when he arrived at Xie Mansion, it dropped, but I am afraid that the boss will not respond. ”

If it really drops, it is equivalent to the restaurant offending the Yong'an Hou Mansion, which is not a joke.

Xie Chunhua's face turned pale, although she had expected it, but when she heard Xie Rongzhao say it with her own ears, she was still a little frustrated.

"Well, I shouldn't have embarrassed you. Besides, what you said is right, how can the store offend the Yong'an Hou Mansion because of our Xie family? ”

"Why is Sister Chunhua like this? How much money can you have? I don't believe Mrs. Xie can't take it out. ”

Xie Chunhua smiled bitterly and shook his head silently.

Of course, she knew that her grandmother could come up with the money, but the problem was that her grandmother was unwilling, which made her think about it!
