Chapter 205 Return to Yangzhou City
Since Song Che first arrived in Yangzhou City, he felt that it was "golden and jade, and it was defeated and straight."
Although the Huainan coast is in trouble, Yangzhou, as the capital, has not been affected at all, even if the displaced people on the outskirts of the city have been scattered all over the wilderness, the atmosphere of the city is still extravagant.
It's like the real swallowtail butterfly, still dreaming of its last sweet dreams, and they don't know that danger is coming.
The security check in Yangzhou City was very lax, and in the face of the caravan from Chuzhou, it was persuaded to retreat by the strong fishy smell before even opening the box.
"It's stinking to death, hurry up and go!" The soldiers covered their noses and drove away in disgust.
Shang Ru from Chuzhou made this gang of Japanese robbers enter Yangzhou City so smoothly.
"Fellow."
Song Che chased the carriage after him.
When the merchant saw that it was Song Che, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he immediately lost his surprise: "Oh, it's you, you also come to Yangzhou City?" ”
Song Che said bluntly: "I have a restaurant in Yangzhou City, fellow countryman, in my opinion, don't sell your batch of seafood to others, the fertilizer and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders, I want all the packaging, and the silver is guaranteed to be enough." ”
The merchant looked embarrassed: "Ouch, it's not that I won't sell it to you, but someone has booked it, and if you and I sell it to you, doesn't that mean that you have broken the contract?" ”
"Oh? Which restaurant in Yangzhou are you selling to? Maybe I know the boss. Song Che asked again.
The merchant hesitated for a long time before he spit out three words: "Eight Immortal Building." ”
Then he said: "I have covered this batch of seafood, and I want to take it out and dry it again, so I won't talk much, fellow, if I have a chance in the future, I will ask you for tea." ”
Then he shouted and marched forward.
"That fellow, leave a name, my name is Chen Rencai." Song Che said loudly.
Na Shangyang: "My name is Ma Hu. ”
Ma Hu? Isn't that a donkey?
It's too arbitrary.
After the caravan traveled a certain distance, Jiang Yun jumped out of the carriage, nodded with Song Che and Liao Heng, and quietly followed.
"Then Brother Chen, it's time for me to go to Yangzhou Mansion to report and take up a post." Liao Heng also got out of the carriage.
Song Che asked, "Are you really just going to be an official?" ”
"Official?" Liao Heng shook his head, "I am the Jinshi and the first of the Eight Classics, I am the chief bookkeeper of Yangzhou Mansion, the official of the seventh grade, all kinds of documents of the state government have to go through my hands, if you don't have the official seal in my hand, no matter how rich you are, it will not help." ”
Yun Niang, who was sitting in the car, suddenly came out of her head, with a pair of big eyes: "Then I want to do business in Yangzhou City, I can also ask you for help?" ”
Liao Heng patted his chest proudly, "Just report my name to Yangzhou Mansion in the future!" ”
Yun Niang's face bloomed.
Liao Heng clenched his fists and said goodbye.
Looking at Liao Heng's departing back, Song Che rubbed his nose vigorously, is it really surnamed Liao and not Zhao?
"Jiang Shaoxia's martial arts have shocked me, but I didn't expect Liao Gongzi to be a real official, I have never seen him study arrogantly along the way," Yun Niang said, her big eyes turned to Song Che:
"Then Chen Gongzi, are you? Both of them are so remarkable, you must not be easy. ”
This village girl from the countryside seems to be entering the city for the first time, looking here and there, and she is full of curiosity about everything.
"Me? I'm just an ordinary businessman. Song Che smiled and asked again, "Boss, aren't you here to find a husband?" Do you know where he is? ”
Yun Niang glanced at the endless sea of people and shook her head: "I haven't written with my cousin for a few years, I only know that he runs a pawnshop in Yangzhou, oh, by the way, his surname is Wu, and his name is Wu Mengde." ”
"Wu Mengda?"
"No, it's Wu Mengde," Yun Niang asked, "Chen Gongzi's family is in Yangzhou, have you ever heard of your cousin's name?" ”
Song Che is not from Yangzhou, where can he know this, but the second uncle and uncle opened a restaurant here, if Wu Mengde's business is doing well, he should know.
Look at this village girl, she has never seen the world, and she has a good appearance, she is simply a lamb in the mouth of human traffickers.
"I'm just doing some business in Yangzhou, so I'm not familiar with it, but I can find someone to help you inquire...... You see it's too late, if the boss doesn't dislike it, she will come to me to live first, so that she can have a place to stay, so that she can slowly find a husband in the future. ”
Yun Niang smiled happily and readily agreed.
Song Che drove the carriage to the Fuman Inn.
Last time at the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, Song Che handed over the business of "distilled spirits" to Shen Fang and agreed to share the profits by fifty-fifty.
Judging from the sharing in the first few months, the inn business should be pretty good, but I don't know if it can withstand it in the second half of the year, after all, distillation is not a very advanced technology, and its popularity is inevitable for social development.
"Boss, have you ever thought that I am in case...... What if your cousin is already married? Song Che suddenly remembered, so he asked casually.
Yun Niang replied confidently: "No, my cousin and I were childhood sweethearts, and when we were forced to separate, we were also destined for three lives, and in this life, we will not marry each other." ”
Song Che is much worse.
If the oath is reliable, the sow can climb the tree.
After a while, the Fuman Inn arrived.
Song Che looked at the door plaque several times before he was sure that this was the Fuman Inn opened by the second uncle-
The face of the inn has almost changed greatly, with a pair of double-flower lanterns at the door, the blue tiles and white walls painted without a trace of flaws, and even the plaques are inlaid with gold edges.
In this way, Shen Tong's father and son have made a lot of money these days.
"Chen Gongzi, aren't you going to take us home? How did you get to the restaurant? ”
"Sister, this restaurant ...... It's huge! I'm afraid it's more than a hundred times bigger than our tavern. ”
"I've never been in such a big restaurant in my life, and if I eat a meal here, I'm afraid it will cost dozens of taels casually, right?"
Yun Niang and the two guys looked up at the lintel of Fumanlou, although the threshold was not high, the psychological gap was very large.
It's dinner time right now, and the traffic is not too high, so it can only be decent.
Fumanlou itself is positioned as a "five-star", and those who come and go are all well-dressed.
In order to avoid the limelight, Song Che dressed very plainly, and standing with Yun Niang and them, it seemed even more incompatible with the big restaurant.
"Go, go, go...... This is not where you came, so don't stop at the door and block the business of our inn. ”
The guy who greeted the guests, so he didn't have the strength to see them, and when he saw them with a rustic face, he waved a towel and wanted to expel them.
Yun Niang said: "I can't afford to eat, do I still look down on it?" Isn't the lantern so lit for people to see? ”
Na Ling: "This lantern is for the nobles to see, our restaurant is also for the nobles, let me tell you, even if it is a dog, a chicken, a donkey, covered with silk and satin, that is also the guest of our restaurant." But if it's a linen cloth coat, then I'm sorry, you can't even smell the smell of wine in our building! ”
Animals are not animals, people are not people, right and wrong are reversed, and right and wrong are reversed.
From ancient times to the present, it has not been able to solve the fundamental problems of mankind!
