Bang Bang -

In front of Wen's bathing center, gongs, drums, firecrackers, and red flags were displayed, but the scene of crowds of people was missing.

Only a few people stood not far away and pointed, with a little doubt in their eyes.

A few guests were still partners who Li Youcai helped invite to support the scene.

Although Lao Li is second to none in Qingcheng and has a wide range of contacts, the Tan's foot massage shop opposite has the support of Lord Taishou behind him.

However, Wen Chen himself didn't care very much, he had expected this to happen, so he didn't spend any money in vain to engage in any promotional activities, in his eyes, the foot massage shop opposite was his best advertisement!

"Shopkeeper Tian, shopkeeper Zhao, Mr. Huo, please come inside, the sauna physiotherapy launched by our store is the first in the city, first steamed and then pressed, comfortable and relieved, to ensure that you are worth the trip!"

Several well-dressed middle-aged men hugged their fists one after another, and were greeted by a group of well-dressed young technicians.

"Shopkeepers, please take your hand!"

Aoyagi holds his hands on his lower abdomen and smiles sweetly, just like a lobby manager.

"Yo, it's fresh!"

"When I went to the Tan's foot massage shop next door the day before yesterday, I didn't have these rituals!"

Aoyagi smiled slightly, "Shopkeeper Tian, the foot massage shop opposite has only learned some of Wen Gongzi's fur, if you want to experience authentic massage services, you have to come to us, there will be someone to guide you to relax later, please bring your valuables with you to avoid losing them." ”

"Please!"

The technician who was waiting on the side carefully asked the three of them to sit down, and took off their boots and put on their slippers himself.

The three of them nodded slightly, this speech and service are much better than the old ladies on the other side who will make you pay for money and press your feet!

The three of them who changed into loose clothes were first brought into the shower room, and there was a soft bench for people to rest in the next room, and there was a circle of snacks and fruits on the table, and even a cold beer that has recently swept the city.

"Shopkeeper Wen is really a god!"

"Think what I think, do what I do, intimate, very intimate!"

"You and I will have a drink over there later, and catch up on the old days!"

Wen Chen, who was standing at the door, looked at the Tan's foot massage shop opposite from time to time, which was completely different from the deserted scene of his own shop, just two days after opening, the customers who queued up to press their feet every day were blocked at the end of the street, and the technicians in front of the store who were dressed up and dressed in revealing clothes looked a little tired, but they could only pretend to smile to greet the guests.

Xue, who was taking care of the shop, held a handful of melon seeds in his hand, and he looked at this side with a look of disdain.

What is it! As soon as it opened, it attracted three guests, and they were all related households, which was really embarrassing!

"Xiao Du! Tell you how many times, pull the collar down a little bit, so that people can look at it twice and there will be no less meat! ”

"Cry cry cry, cry what are you crying ?! Let a man touch it twice and die? ”

"What? The money shopkeeper wants to take you back? That's a great thing, what's not to like? Isn't the money shopkeeper better than the waste man in your house? Hurry up and pack up and leave with the money shopkeeper, otherwise you won't want this month's salary! ”

Three or four reprimanded young women stood in a row with their heads bowed, tears still on their faces.

They are all women from good families, although it was hard to help the cloth merchants in the city weave cloth in the workshop, but it was far from the point of selling their dignity, and now they have signed a contract with the Tan family, even if they want to regret it, they will have to pay a lot of silver, so they can only endure it in a low voice, and dare not disobey in the slightest.

Xue Shi rolled his eyes, took out a few pairs of inferior stockings from his arms and threw them to a few people, "Hurry up and replace the stockings that have balled, the guests have complained to me several times, it affects the feel too much!" ”

Several people nodded humbly with tears in their eyes.

A familiar figure suddenly walked in outside the door, Xue's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice, for fear that others would not know.

"Hey, this is not my Tan family's good in-laws, Ma Taishou! You're here to cheer us on again! ”

Ma Qingshan laughed, his eyes fiercely swept around the Xue family's rich body, leaned closer and whispered, "Brother Tan is really a blessing, to have such a gentle and beautiful virtuous helper as Madame, I really envy this official!" ”

This Lord Taishou has been overwhelmed by the collection of autumn taxes recently, not that the big taxpayers in the city in previous years don't want to pay, but they are really helpless by that Wen Chen, the warehouse is backlogged, and the silver is not in his hands, so he is really powerless.

Ma Qingshan has been greeting Wen Chen and Li Youcai's ancestors in his sleep for the past two days, but the buyer and seller are willing to do so, Wen's cloth shop's low-price selling behavior does not constitute evidence of illegal crimes, which makes Ma Qingshan, who has always followed the rules, a headache.

Maybe it's by venting his grievances, so he can't help but be a little frivolous in his words.

Feeling the ambiguous taste in his tone, Xue's body trembled slightly, but immediately returned to his smiling face, "Lord Ma, please, let's find yesterday's widow Sun to press for you, right?" ”

Ma Qingshan shook his head slightly, and said meaningfully, "It is said that Mrs. Tan's skills are good, and this official wants to try it himself today." ”

Xue Shi was stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly and said, "My lord, this ...... It's not good, don't let people gossip about it......"

"Humph!"

"Who doesn't have long eyes and dares to pass on the gossip of Lord Ben?" Ma Qingshan pretended to be slightly angry, and glanced around, and everyone avoided his gaze.

"Besides, this official is here today to discuss with his wife in detail, you can prepare and come in quickly!"

After speaking, regardless of Xue's answer, he turned around and walked towards the private room on the second floor.

Xue bit his lip and hesitated, but when he saw Wen Chen looking at him with a smile across the street, he stomped his foot ruthlessly.

"Come on, make a basin of hot water and send it to Master Ma upstairs!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

After a while, after explaining the following sentences, Xue Shi also followed upstairs.

"Xiao Wen, you said that the man surnamed Ma wouldn't really be interested in this old onion, right?" Tu Sanqian, who was also standing at the door watching the excitement, suddenly leaned into Wen Chen's ear and whispered.

Wen Chen glanced at him, "Even if there is, he won't blatantly do anything to that girl, do you know what day it has been recently?" ”

The man shook his head with a blank expression.

"It's time to collect the autumn tax!" Wen Chen hooked the corners of his mouth, "The cloth merchants in the city have lost their business by Li Youcai, and Ma Qingshan can't collect taxes, so he can only take his own people first, and the passenger flow on the opposite side has been full in the past two days, so it's time to take the lead......"

The northern part of Dasheng is mostly planted, and taxes are usually collected once a year, while the south of the Yangtze River has developed commerce and the circulation of silver money is relatively fast, so the government will choose to collect taxes in summer and autumn, which is called summer tax and autumn tax by the people.

In recent days, it is the day of the autumn tax, this time in previous years, it is the time period for Qingcheng cloth merchants to collect money, but this summer not only out of the water-powered textile machine, but also the cloth market in the city has been stirred up by Li Youcai's 10,000 low-priced cloth, everyone's savings are accumulated in the warehouse, and there is no silver to pay taxes.

Tu Sanqian nodded as if he didn't understand, "This Lao Tzu doesn't understand very well, wait for Lao Tzu to ask Miss Qingliu." ”

made an excuse and ran to Aoyagi, but Wen Chen grabbed his arm.

"I said, Brother Tu, why do you have a strand in you...... Smelly? Wen Chen wrinkled his nose, and when the goods approached just now, a familiar smell suddenly penetrated into his nose.

Maybe it's because after practicing Zhu You, the senses have become a lot more developed after the operation, and many details that he couldn't notice in the past can be captured by Wen Chen's facial features recently.

Tu Sanqian smiled for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand, "What a smell, Lao Tzu just took a bath and smeared some balm, don't be suspicious!" ”

"That's not right!" Wen Chen's eyes narrowed, and his gaze shifted from top to bottom, shifting to his bulging crotch, "You've taken an aphrodisiac!" ”
