Chapter 452: Remembering Jiangnan
It is another year of red flowers and willow green, and the weather in the south is only slightly reduced even in autumn, and people are still spending summer and enjoying the cool after all. Lin'an, the son of heaven, not only exudes an intoxicating slight coolness in the summer, but also the whole city has a kind of tranquility away from the scourge of war, like a singer, confined in the gentle countryside, not knowing the cold outside.
This is true of the city, and so are the inhabitants of the city, and the effects of the war's sudden drop in productivity and lack of supplies do not seem to have affected the place, and although it does not lead to singing at night, the lazy style pervades the whole city, as if it were a year ago.
Da Da Da ...... Da Da Da ......
The sound of horses' hooves not only woke up the nappers, but also the whole street, because the people here were so familiar with such a rapid and rhythmic sound of horses' hooves. The Wind Chasing Rider is responsible for delivering the most confidential information letters and the emperor, Lin'an has been the Son of Heaven for a long time, compared to the other two horses, the frequency of the Wind Chasing Rider appearing in the city can only be described as extremely high.
Although the legendary Three Riders of the Imperial Court can often be seen, every time the Wind Chaser appears, it still causes a lot of shock, and their appearance often represents something great, whether it is good or bad.
Boss Xiao of Guanghe pawnshop on the royal street rarely comes to the pawnshop once, the afternoon is the key moment in the pawnshop, at this time many people will take a lunch break, some people will choose this time to come, this kind of people pawn mostly some unclean or unknown objects, eager to make a move will naturally choose to come when there are no idlers. Pawnshops naturally like such customers, and generally such people are either short of money or have unclean hands and feet, so they naturally become the target of pawnshop price reduction. As for the way things come from, pawnshops never care, they just watch the goods and pay for them.
Boss Xiao likes this time to pawnshop to take inventory, because he likes to meet such a person, he is from the court, although he opened a pawnshop and became a shopkeeper, the biggest hobby is still to see some strange objects, if he can reduce the price as much as possible, the satisfaction in his heart is naturally self-evident, this is also Boss Xiao's biggest hobby. Sitting in the front hall, looking at the account books handed over by the second shopkeeper, Boss Xiao was not in a hurry, but he hoped that there would be someone he expected to appear at this time.
Boss Xiao, who was looking through the account books, did not wait for the windfall, but waited for a string of horses' hooves. Hearing this string of hooves, Boss Xiao's face changed, put down the account book in his hand and rushed out of the door, at this time the middle of the royal street was very clean, everyone flashed on the side of the road, leaving the way for the swift wind chasing the wind, if he was hit by this master, he could only consider himself unlucky.
Watching the wind chasing the ride go away, Boss Xiao wondered what had happened in his heart, thinking about the last time he saw the wind chasing the wind galloping past, the next day he heard that the former prime minister Qin Hui was used again. This news made Boss Xiao sigh for a while, Qin Hui's reputation among the people is extremely bad, and it is said that he has been taken captive by today's people, although he was released, but he actually made pro-gold measures. Although Boss Xiao is a flat-headed commoner, he also knows that the Jin people are cruel, and if they win the world, I am afraid that the Han people will not have a good life.
"I don't know what happened again?" Just when Boss Xiao was looking at the back of the wind chasing rider in a daze, he heard such a voice ringing in his ears.
"I don't know, I hope it's joy or sorrow!" subconsciously replied, Boss Xiao reacted and turned his head to look at the person who spoke.
"It turned out to be Boss Xiao, you made a fortune. The man saw that it was Boss Xiao, and immediately said politely.
Boss Xiao was stunned when he heard this, not that he didn't understand the world, but that he didn't know the person in front of him, the other party had a Chinese face, square and square, and there was nothing else to distinguish, even if he looked at it a few more times, it would be impossible to remember. can see that the other party is so enthusiastic, as if he still knows himself, which makes Boss Xiao a little confused. However, Boss Xiao is a shrewd person after all, although he doesn't know the other party, he always has to get by on face, and he bowed his hand and said: "Thanks to you, this brother is a little faceless!"
"Boss Xiao is a noble person, and the younger brother has also been in the center of Yujie for a long time, and he has had a relationship with Boss Xiao. The man was smiling, and the greetings were not disgusting.
As soon as these few words were said, Boss Xiao was even more confused, he recalled carefully, he really couldn't remember seeing this person before, and blamed this person for being too ordinary, no feature at all, he Boss Xiao usually had contact with many people, and it was inevitable that he couldn't remember it. But after thinking about it, Boss Xiao was a little surprised, what is the center of this royal street, there are many goulan tiles, this person may have met a drinking friend in which home, this kind of friend He Boss Xiao has also talked to a few, but most of them are wine and meat friends, and it is not surprising that they forget after that.
Thinking of this, Boss Xiao pretended to say suddenly: "Oh, brother Xian, look at me, I don't know where to put my memory all day long, your sister-in-law always says that I am wooden, this is not that I don't recognize the virtuous brother." ”
"Brother Xiao is a person who does big things, and he doesn't remember some trivial things, haha. The man smiled heartily and laughed at himself, which can be regarded as relieving the embarrassment of both parties.
Businessmen are like this, even if they don't know each other, but often two sentences seem familiar with growing up wearing a pair of pants, although Boss Xiao doesn't know the person in front of him, but it does not prevent him from making friends with him, pawnshops are an industry that eats all directions, relying on face and road, knowing more people is one more way to go.
"Brother Xian, what is it today?" Boss Xiao didn't say anything, but the meaning was clear, he didn't know where the other party came from, so he tried it at this time, but fortunately he had a simple understanding in his heart, so that he wouldn't fall into embarrassment when talking.
"The younger brother just came from Shudi, and the climate in Lin'an is pleasant, so it's a good place to escape the heat. The man replied with a smile.
Boss Xiao has a rough idea in his heart, this person is not a local, he is from Shu and specially came here to escape the summer, if it is not a big family, he will not worry about food and clothing, otherwise in this world, who does not work hard to make a living. In this case, he may be able to fulfill the friendship of the landlord and pull closely.
"Brother Xian is right, this Lin'an is at the feet of the Son of Heaven after all, even the talent is favored here, of course it is an outstanding person, you must be right to come here, since our brothers meet again, then I will be suspicious, how about being a host?" Boss Xiao smiled.
"This, it's really too disturbing for the elder brother, this east will let the younger brother do it, and the right to visit the elder brother. The man said boldly.
"Eh, my brother is looking down on my brother. Boss Xiao pretended to be stern and said, "When you reach my realm, if you don't appreciate your face and spread it, what you know is that my brother will be a man, and if you don't know, I think my brother is stingy." Don't say goodbye to your brother, come on, come on, let's come here. ”
Boss Xiao said, without waiting for the man to excuse himself, he took his arm and left, but as soon as he took two steps, he found that this person was not himself, and there were two followers by him, an old man and a young man, and his attention was on this person just now, but he didn't notice the old and young.
"Who are these two?" asked Boss Xiao aloud.
"Oh, it's with me, don't worry about it, brother. ”
Since you don't have to care, Boss Xiao has already guessed his identity, either as a follower or as a miscellaneous worker. Smiling, Boss Xiao complimented: "Brother Xian, this person is quite interesting, and he is very quiet and peaceful." ”
The man smiled and didn't know if it was okay, but he turned his gaze to a nearby restaurant and asked, "Brother Xiao, what is here?" I remember that when I came here, this place was not like this. ”
Boss Xiao looked at it when he heard this, he was stunned at first, and then smiled: "Brother Xian should have not been here for a long time, this used to be a restaurant, called Desheng Building, there was an inexplicable fire a year ago, almost burned down the entire street, fortunately the fire was extinguished in time and did not spread, but after the fire was extinguished, not a single body could be found, and the owner of the hotel never appeared again, and it was rumored to be a strange story for a while." Some say the boss has been burned to ashes, others say it's weird, but it's unlucky, and although it's a good place, no one cares about it. Who knew that it had been idle for more than half a year, and suddenly someone broke ground here to repair, and also established the whole restaurant called Yijiangnan, which is much more beautiful than before. ”
When Boss Xiao said this, he didn't know whether it was jealousy or sourness, and the meaning was unclear. The man listened to Boss Xiao's introduction, was stunned for a long time, and then said: "I can't imagine that there is such a past here!" Brother Xiao, if you want me to say that you are wrong, businessmen all look at feng shui, although there is a nameless fire here, but here the lake is on the side, the willows are blowing, there is a gold and stone as the base, and a fire is burning, which is a sign of both the five elements. The five elements are mutually reinforcing and mutually restrictive, which is an omen. In my opinion, this place is not only not evil, but very auspicious. ”
Boss Xiao was stunned by what the man said, and thought about it carefully, but it seemed to be very reasonable, and he couldn't help but suddenly say: "No wonder the business of this restaurant has become more and more prosperous after the reopening, the virtuous brother is really a talent, and I admire the brother." In this case, I will be here today to let the virtuous brother feast. With that, he pulled the man into the restaurant renamed Yijiangnan.
"There are guests here, welcome to Yijiangnan, a few distinguished guests, please. Four VIPs!" As soon as the four of them stepped into the door of Yijiangnan, they heard a neutral voice shouting.
Whether it is Boss Xiao, or the face of the Chinese character, they are taken aback by this voice, they are used to eating restaurants, they have seen a lot of Xiao Er, and they shout when they see guests, which are generally small shops, often in order to increase their popularity, or I Xiao Er is just looking for something to do, this kind of loud noise, containing the meaning of grandstanding. On the contrary, the more formal and large restaurants are, the less likely they will be, they will be courteous to make guests feel sincere, and the larger the business, the more so, because they are not running lively, but face.
But this memory of Jiangnan, the scale is not small, but it is uncharacteristically let a guy shout, isn't this disturbing the other guests? With the shout of the little two, a little girl with a beautiful face came over and handed the four people a note with two lines of words on it, the first line is twenty-seven, and the second line says four.
Looking at these two numbers, the national character face and Boss Xiao didn't know why, Boss Xiao was the landlord, so he asked the little girl out loud: "What does this mean?"
The little girl had a very friendly smile on her face, which made people feel a little more intimate at first sight, and replied lightly: "Several guest officers are here for the first time to remember Jiangnan, this twenty-seven represents the order of your meal, and this four means that you are four guests, we have more objective meals, I'm sorry to have to wait a while." While explaining the role of the note, she quietly apologized, and the little girl's professionalism was beyond doubt.
Guozi Face and Boss Xiao were stunned when they heard this, looking at the note, they couldn't help but be surprised, Guozi Face said: "So there are twenty-six people in front of me?"
"Exactly, the guest officer's mind is really clear. "The little girl is sweet and her mouth is sweet.
When the two were talking, Boss Xiao was silent, his heart shook beyond words, he had never heard of Jiangnan's business methods, but he just opened his eyes as soon as he entered the door, and the boss here was really smart. At the same time, I also wondered if this method could be used as a reference.
Just when Boss Xiao turned his mind, he heard a thick voice shouting unhappily: "How do you do business here, I waited for half an hour, Lao Tzu was hungry, why haven't you lined up yet?"
