Can't be provoked, can't be provoked!

Lu Xu slipped to Xicheng in one breath, and wandered around Xicheng looking for shops.

Originally, Lu Xu's mood to open a shop was not strong, but he was stimulated by this and became more ambitious.

Aren't others bullying their family, isn't it because they feel that they are helpless, powerless, and powerless?

He can't help it, so let's make money!

It's a big deal to donate a sum of money to the treasury every year, and brush up on the sense of existence in front of Emperor Hong'an every year.

There is also Jiang Hao's thigh, how good the little emperor's temper is, he is righteous, and he can play so well with their family Lu Zhou, so he should make more delicious food to feed the little emperor's grandson.

He has seen all the shops near his house, and he can't afford to buy them if they are too expensive, and the ones he can buy are either remote or far away, and those that can be rented are too big.

Lu Xu had been looking for more than half a month, but there was no suitable one, so he had to turn his attention to Xicheng, where the nobles gathered.

In fact, Beicheng is closer, but there are not many shops in Beicheng, and people are still resolutely not selling, and Lu Xu can't help it.

He went to the north of the West City for a walk, and the situation was similar to the North City.

Some shops are obviously not doing well, and when they ask if they are selling or not, they will jump to their feet, as if provoking them.

Lu Xu also understands that those who can have an industry in this position are either powerful or noble, and it is a matter of face, so they would rather be empty and throw away to lose money than sell, right?

Okay, he won't buy it.

He rents.

Lu Xu searched and searched all the way, and finally found a tooth shop in the place where almost half of the West City passed.

Fang Yazi heard that he was going to rent to the north, and he was stunned for a while.

Lu Xu: "Don't tell me that no one rents, I've seen it all, there are many shops with bad business, I'll tell you a few, you can help me inquire if they rent or not." ”

No matter how capable the ancestors are, they can't stop the descendants from being defeated.

Leave an empty shop and lose money, it is better to rent it quietly to earn some pocket money.

Why bother?

If you don't go over to inquire about this kind of thing, there is no way, you may not even know the name of the owner behind the shop.

Lu Xu has no way, so he can only find a tooth man, "If it can be done, I will give you an extra fifty taels of benefits." ”

Fang Yazi agreed, he also had to find a relationship to find a way, he refused to pay this money, and first asked Lu Xu for a deposit of ten taels.

Lu Xu happily gave the money, asked Fang Yazi to write him a receipt list, and walked around Xicheng again to understand the style of Xicheng before slowly walking back.

After looking at it like this, Lu Xu probably also had an idea in his heart.

In general, Xicheng does not have the breath of life as Dongcheng, but in terms of entertainment and luxury, it is much higher than Dongcheng.

It is also selling ornaments, most of the east city is porcelain, and the west city is large gold and silverware.

It is also a ready-to-wear shop, there are silk cotton and linen in Dongcheng, and there is no cotton and linen in Xicheng, and there are a large number of cherished furs, and the styles are also gorgeous and complex, such as tassels and feathers in women's clothing, bells and whistles, and belts and hats in men's clothing are also embellished with gemstones, shining.

Even the ornaments are generally larger than those in Dongcheng, and there are many shops that resell saddles and whips.

Lu Xu inquired, there is a livestock market in the south of Xicheng, which does not sell cattle, mules, or donkeys, but specializes in horses, cats and dogs, rare animals, and it is said that there are deer, tigers, and the like.

Lu Xu called him a good guy, the capital is worthy of being the capital, and the royal relatives are really better than ordinary people.

It's late tonight, he must go and see it another day, if there is really a tiger, when Junqi and Lu Zhou are free, they will come to see the tiger together!

Free zoo, don't look at nothing.

In the evening, what they ate was the meal that Lu Xu packed back from Xicheng.

Maybe there are too many big households in Xicheng, all restaurants provide take-out services, and people have special food boxes, and a box costs five taels of silver.

Lu Xu comforted himself that this was doing market research, this box looked very good, and he turned around to Lu Zhou as a lunch box, and he could still use it when he went out for a picnic, so he bought it ruthlessly.

While the three of them were eating, Lu Xu complained: "I have seen it through, Daqi is poor, the treasury is poor, and those imperial relatives are not poor." ”

After tasting the taste, Lu Xu began to complain: "Look, a broken wooden box, ask me for five taels, a stewed meat, stewed like this, I am embarrassed to ask for three taels, this fish, that is, fresh, this sauce is not ordinary, four taels, you can buy a big basket in Guanyang." Look at what this pastry is made of...... It's okay, but a piece of one or two, why don't they grab it? ”

In all fairness, the dishes made by others are quite delicious, but when the price is put there, Lu Xu feels that he is wronged.

He was wronged once, and those royal relatives who lived in Xicheng were slaughtered every day.

"They didn't eat them even if they were slaughtered like this, how rich they are!" Lu Xu sighed: "No, I am determined to go to Xicheng to open a store, this kind of fat sheep can't be slaughtered by just a few people, I also want to join the ranks of slaughtering sheep and hair." ”

Yan Junqi: "......"

Lu Zhou: "......"

Lu Zhou asked: "Brother, didn't you say that you would look for it at the door of your house, but if you don't have it, forget it?" ”

Lu Xu: "That's what I originally thought. ”

But who made Xicheng's money look too easy to make and stimulated the salted fish he was lying down to fight on the spot?

"In the past, why was I so stupid, just staring at a small place in Dongcheng, the capital is so big, and the west and north cities are golden nests!"

Yan Junqi couldn't help but splash him with cold water, "The shops in Beicheng and Xicheng are not easy to buy. ”

Lu Xu was full of confidence: "I plan to rent!" ”

As a result, a few days passed, and reality slapped Lu Xu in the face.

He was overconfident.

The relatives of the emperor want face, do not sell, and do not rent.

Even the shops in the south of Xicheng are only sold to local famous families in the capital.

Lu Xu: "......"

He smashed dozens of taels for Fang Yazi, but he still couldn't find anyone willing to rent a shop.

Lu Xu was stunned.

Would this group of people rather die of hunger than make money?

In the past few days, he has heard that the honors and nobles in their early years have left a lot of declining families, and some people can't even repair the broken roofs at home, and they are waiting for the Ministry of Industry to send people, even so, they would rather rain outside and light rain in the house than sell the house.

This kind of behavior of starving himself to death by guarding Jinshan, Lu Xu really couldn't understand it.

If you want to keep the green mountains and make a comeback, it shouldn't be to leave a house that will collapse if it keeps breaking, right?

Isn't it better to change to a small or southerner house, set aside money, concentrate resources on studying, or ask Master to practice martial arts and go to the army to earn meritorious deeds, even if you take the money to make a way, isn't it better than starving to death if the house collapses?

Just when Lu Xu had almost given up and started to look for a shop in the south of Dongcheng, someone suddenly took the initiative to look for him.

"Are you Lu Xu, Lu Langjun?"

Lu Xu looked at it, the person who knocked on the door was dressed like the housekeeper of which house, but he didn't know it.

"I'm Lu Xu, are you?"

"The villain is the housekeeper of Chengping Bofu, and the son of my family and the prince of your mansion are accompanying ......the prince in the prince's mansion," the other party politely greeted him.

Lu Xu also hurriedly returned the salute, "Hello, I know, I often hear Lu Zhou mention the prince, and praise the prince for being smart and cute, clever and studious, and very liked by the emperor and grandson." ”

The butler's smile deepened again.

Lu Xu was puzzled: "I don't know ...... you are looking for me?" ”

Housekeeper: "Oh, that's the case, Uncle heard that you have some cooking hobbies, and it seems that you want to find a shop in Xicheng to make some dim sum to pass the time, and there is a shop in my house that is idle, if you haven't found a satisfactory shop, it's better to go over and see if you can't look at it." ”

Lu Xu: "...... Ahh ”

Butler: "Not far away, on Changle Street, the uncle said that the prince and the prince of your mansion are also classmates, if you can see it, I will lend it to you and use it casually." ”

Lu Xu recalled in his mind the names of the streets and alleys of the capital, Changle Street, Changle Street......

Isn't that just at the junction of the West City and the North City, on the edge of the Imperial City?!

The author has something to say:

Lu Xu: And such a good thing?!

Chapter 224: Think about it calmly

Cheng Pingbo wanted to "borrow" the shop to Lu Xu, and the reason was the food box that Lu Xu bought for five taels of silver.

I bought everything, and I can't throw it away at home every day.

Lu Xu asked Lu Zhou to ask Jiang Hao if he could bring food into the Prince's Mansion.

Eating this kind of thing is still relatively sensitive, and sending food to the prince's mansion is something that normal people don't do.

But Jiang Hao loves to eat, and complained to Lu Zhou that the stir-fried dishes made by the imperial chef in the dining room of the prince's mansion are not as delicious as those made by Lu Xu.

The color and flavor are complete, but there is a little difference.

He said so, can Lu Xu not work hard, Jiang Hao is their family Lu Zhou's biggest backer in Beijing, and no one can be hungry when they are hungry!

It happened that his food box was idle, and there was still the last fish left in the house, Lu Xu asked Lu Zhou to say hello the day before yesterday, and got up in the middle of the night to make them a small cake, grilled fish, and called flower chicken.

Yesterday, Jiang Hao sent Yuan Neishou to wait for Lu Zhou at the entrance of the imperial city, and Yuan Neishou personally took the food box, and the city guards naturally did not interrogate, and let them in after a routine inspection.

The three children started reading early in the morning and stayed up until noon when they were hungry.

Especially the outside of the flower chicken is still wrapped in mud, and the three of them asked Yuan Nei to find a small hammer for them, and they knocked the flower chicken open with great interest.

The weather was hot, although it was put out in the morning, and it was still hot when the flower chicken was opened.

The three children were amazed.

The palace is not as good as the outside, Yuan Nei will not let Jiang Hao eat with chopsticks by himself, he asked the little inner servant to take the chicken down and dismantle it, the fish is reheated, tried non-toxic, and then give Jiang Hao a dish.

At noon, the three children behaved in a proper manner, and Svenwen killed a chicken, a fish, and half of the cake.

After the tea break, Lu Zhou also made up the knife: "This fish is not as delicious as it has just been made, and so is the cake." My brother said that all the dishes are made to be the best. ”

Jiang Hao thought so, he ate outside the palace, and the dishes were all hot.

But there are many rules in the palace, the location of the dining room is far away, it is fine in summer, and sometimes it is a little cold in winter when it is ready to eat.

Still at Lu Zhou's house, guarding the kitchen and waiting for the pot to come out of the pot is the most comfortable and delicious, but unfortunately I can't eat it......
