Chapter 6: Manpai Zhai

"What's wrong with you, are you sick, what can happen to you during the festival that makes you feel so bad?" Yuwen Shuoyue came twice in the past two days, Zhao Yingluo was either in a daze, or depressed, and he couldn't rest assured that his brother would come over to take a look.

"I'm much better, you can sit down for a while, what kind of tea do you drink? I'll get it." As he spoke, Zhao Yingluo turned around and was about to make tea. "Just drink some water, the main thing is for us to talk. Seeing that Zhao Yingluo was tidy up in the house, no longer as messy as a few days ago, although his face was still a little pale, but his spirit was much better, Yuwen Shuoyue breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"Being an errand boy next to that notoriously bad-tempered aunt, can you still adapt, she didn't embarrass you, right?" Zhao Yingluo asked with concern.

"No, everything is fine. My main task is to get up early to pick up the star building, clean the room where she works and rests in advance, and then arrange her to eat, wear and other things for the day. This aunt has a lot of entertainment, and often has to accompany her to greet guests at night. The energy of Weidong Commercial Bank is really great, there are a few casual cultivators who are not low, and they didn't buy much of our Yuwen family's accounts before, but now this aunt and grandmother have just arrived a few days ago, and they are eager to come over to flatter and stammer. Yuwen Shuoyue was not without envy.

"Hearing you say that, this work is too busy, so don't delay your cultivation, right? Zhao Yingluo said with concern and handed him the water cup casually. Took the cup, shook his head with a smile, Yuwen Shuoyue took out an object with his backhand, and handed it to Zhao Yingluo with a precious hand. "What do you see what this is?" After Zhao Yingluo took this thing, he looked at it carefully, and felt that the mana in his body had a slight resonance with it. The appearance is an oval token, the material is not gold or wood, the workmanship is simple and elegant, the front is convex and carved is a bloodthirsty and violent porcupine, hovering in the sky behind is a blue-backed thunder eagle, and on the ground is a strong gold-eating bear.

Handing the token back to Yuwen Shuoyue, Zhao Yingluo drank and said: "This thing should be refined with the soul nourishing wood, one of the four major divine trees in the immortal cultivation world, as the main material, which can speed up the recovery speed of the divine consciousness power in the mud pill palace of the accessory, judging from the attributes of the refining material, it is very superb, and the effect of use after refining is ......." Zhao Yingluo coughed, took a sip of water, and continued: "Is it possible to seal the essence of demonism, so that when you are fighting against people, you can summon it to fight?"

"That's right, it seems that choosing you as the second leader of Wanbao Zhai is a right decision. As he spoke, Yuwen Shuoyue began to twist the magic trick in his hand, urging this treasure, and a brown mist slowly floated out from the back of the token, and when he was young, he transformed into a brown bear.

In the welcome room on the third floor of Wanbao Zhai in Giant Lane, Zhao Yingluo and Yuwen Shuoyue are leisurely drinking spiritual tea at the moment. As soon as the two of them arrived, they were warmly greeted by Mr. Lu. The other party said very enthusiastically: "The eldest lady said hello a few days ago, saying that the second young master and the shopkeeper Yin were coming over. But a few more important guests came, so I asked the two of you to stay for a while. ”

In fact, the two shopkeepers of Wanbao Zhai were just changed after Leng Manyun came over, and the big shopkeeper is Yuwen Shuoyue's cousin, that is, the eldest lady of the Yuwen family - Yuwen Shuang, these two bosses are naturally Zhao Yingluo. Speaking of Yuwenshuang, Zhao Yingluo is no stranger to him, on the contrary, in the past three years, because of Yuwen Shuoyue's relationship, this eldest lady has quite taken care of his refining business.

When the door of the welcome room opened, a gust of fragrant wind came to his face, and Yuwenshuang didn't pay attention to his cousin after entering the door, but walked towards Zhao Yingluo. Seeing this, Zhao Yingluo hurriedly got up and left his seat, and smiled kindly.

"What do you think you have offended Boss Yin somewhere, so that you don't want to come here to cooperate with me? If it weren't for Shuoyue's obstruction, I would have gone to your house to ask what happened. After patting Zhao Yingluo's shoulder and signaling him to sit down, Yu Wenshuang pretended to be angry.

"Miss, I'm sorry" Bringing a bowl of hot tea to her, Zhao Yingluo said sincerely.

"That being the case, this girl will forgive you this time. Taking a sip of the aura-filled hot tea, she looked towards Yuwen Shuoyue.

"Let's discuss my brother's specific responsibilities and several important sales opportunities in the first half of the year. Among them, the Shangyuan Festival in the next two days is the most important, and we have to sum it up. As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office, and this first fire has to be burned more prosperously. "Yuwen Shuoyue obviously came prepared, and once he talked about it, he was also the first to go.

After some discussion, Yuwen Shuoyue returned to Leng Manyun to resume his life. And Zhao Yingluo sat in his second shopkeeper's room, which is a large suite, the outer room is the reception room, and the inner room is the bedroom and study. The location is next door to the eldest lady. At the moment, she was sitting in a corner behind the door of the reception room, cultivating to be in the middle stage of atomization, and was about thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Lan'er, go to the study to help me find out the accounts of the shop in the past three years, as well as the suppliers who have cooperated with us all year round. ”

"Yes, Yin Shopkeeper. With a promise, the little girl walked towards the back room.

In the room of the big shopkeeper next door, Yuwen Shuangzheng was receiving the shopkeeper and steward of the Liu family's jewelry store "Jiuyuanfang" in Giant Lane, Shuangyue City. At this moment, Manager Liu was angrily talking about the matter of the Beishan Amethyst Mine, roughly the Yuwen family and the Liu family shared a mine in Beishan, and both families had miners mining in a fixed area, and they had been safe for more than ten years. But recently, the spar in the Liujia mining area has been stolen from time to time, two of which are the long-term workers of the Yuwen family.

"Are you finally going to do it?" Yuwenshuang thought to himself. It seems that even if Leng Manyun is in Shuangyue City, he has not been able to suppress the other party's plot for many years. Getting up and filling the Zhao family's master and servant with tea, Yu Wenshuang said apologetically: "The little sister has already prepared a thin banquet in the 'Guanhai Building', and let the Yin shopkeeper and the chief manager of Lu accompany the two of you to have a few drinks in a while, and by the way, finalize the matter of the Beishan mine." “

Guanhailou is in the middle of Giant Lane, backed by the estuary of Yingyue Lake, at this moment, the four people who are slightly drunk are sitting at the window of the lakeside private room, eating snacks after dinner. Looking at the frozen lake outside the window, Shopkeeper Liu suddenly sighed: "How good it would be if you could blow the intoxicating warm breeze this summer and enjoy the singing and dancing on the flower boat." “

"Definitely, the two of you will be invited to enjoy it at that time. Manager Lu hurriedly said.

After the meal, Zhao Yingluo returned to Wanbao Zhai and continued to familiarize himself with his business. Of course, he also focused on checking the love deeds of the Zhao family. This Zhao family is attached to the Kuojianmen of the Northern Yi Kingdom, and has opened five shops in Shuangyue City, which are engaged in silk, elixir, magic treasure, pearl and jade, and restaurant business. Although the Broadsword Sect is one of the few major sects in the Northern Yi Kingdom, in this Shuangyue City, which is thousands of miles away, it can do such a big business, which shows its means and connections.

Lan'er refilled Zhao Yingluo with a cup of hot tea, and after bringing two plates of small snacks, she stood aside obediently.

Throwing her a piece of pineapple cake, Zhao Yingluo looked through the accounts and said: "There is no need to be restrained in front of me, after you finish your own things, you can cultivate, you can also read in the study, and I will take the initiative to find you when I have something." ”

"Thank you, Yin Shopkeeper. Lan'er grimaced and looked at the books she was interested in in the corner of the study.

After having a general understanding of Wanbaozhai's accounts last year, Zhao Yingluo walked out of his room. Walking through the corridor on the third floor, the heavy wool carpet is comfortable to step on, the quaint sconces glow softly on the smooth stone walls, and near the central lighting patio, there are several pots of green plants, whose branches and leaves are clearly carefully trimmed. The guys he met along the way greeted him respectfully.

On the first floor of Manpaucai, all kinds of items for sale are classified and displayed on the large shelves in each designated area, and each shelf has two men in charge, whose main responsibility is to count the sale of goods, and also to serve every customer who comes to inquire and buy.

The second floor is mainly used for the trading of large and particularly valuable goods. On the fourth floor is a spacious hall where auctions are held from time to time.

Along the way, Zhao Yingluo became familiar with the second and fourth floors that he had not often set foot on before. He stroked the auction table made of rough stones in the center of the hall on the fourth floor, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart: How many treasures have been auctioned off from here that have made countless monks crazy, and how many treasures have been auctioned off from here, setting off a bloody storm in the entire immortal cultivation world? And the focus of his life in recent years may be about to shift here, in this plain work and life, waiting for Nangong to return to the snow.
