Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety Eight

Bi Zhaosheng's ancestors have been engaged in ink printing business for generations and are also well-known in Qingyuan. His ancestors built a store in Chengtian Lane. The business was originally prosperous, but later the business suddenly plummeted. The size of the store in the original two-kan was later cut into one and left one for rent. Many people usually come to seek rent, but many people can't stand the smell of ink stains and ink, and they also think it's bad luck. They rented one after another, but no one lived for a long time.

Liang Chuan rented this shop and immediately went downstairs to look for others. The others were waiting under the clock tower early. After waiting for a while, they still couldn't see Liang Chuan's traces. Qingyuan was crowded with people, and the streets were deep and alleys were deep for a while. For a while, they looked around and saw the vast crowd. They wanted to find them and lost themselves. Liang Chuan was knowledgeable and would not suffer any losses. If he lost them, it would cause trouble for Liang Chuan.

The four of them were so anxious that they stomped their feet under the bell tower. Seeing that the day was about to end, the bronze bell under the bell tower buzzed under the impact. Liang Chuan turned back on the road and immediately returned to the agreed bell tower. A group of people met downstairs.

Liang Chuan looked at several people and asked, "How are you shopping?"

The four of them were just worried that Liang Chuan would disappear. Liang Chuan immediately smiled as soon as he appeared. Shen Yuzhen commented: "There are many outstanding people and auras, and they look like a city. Qingyuan is like this. I don't know what the scene is like in Bianjing and Suzhou and Hangzhou!"

Liang Chuan laughed, Qingyuan was just getting better at this time, and this prosperous scene will continue until the Yuan Dynasty, and it will not turn into decline until the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the glory of hundreds of years is not empty.

"The potential of this place is the largest in the southeast coast. If you want to make a fortune, it's OK to come here. Do you have a good time?"

The four people looked like children, their faces flushed involuntarily. The sketch said, "I have been stolen for another day, but the place I have not found yet. Do you want to stay in an inn today?"

"Come with me, the place has been found." Liang Chuan led four people to Chengtian Lane. Bi Zhaosheng had asked the guy to open the lock. There were some furniture and other things in the room, but it was useless for too long. After some dust, the group went straight in, looking at the huge shop, there was a loft upstairs, commercial downstairs, people living upstairs, and a small kitchen behind them, which was enough for them.

Ye Xiaochai looked around happily, satisfied with everything, but she frowned and came back to Liang Chuan and said, "Everything is good here, but we open the door to do business to attract customers all over the world. The entrance of this alley is fine, and there are few people when we walk to our place. The shop next to us is not a lively place. Is there a living place on the right or why I don't understand. Do you really want to choose this place?"

Liang Chuan didn't expect that Ye Xiaochai, a girl, could analyze it well now. It seems that she has been left in Wanda store for half a year. Liang Chuan said: "Xiaochai is very polite, but we are just a newcomer and have not much money to make. Besides, we haven't even decided what we do, so why should we hurry to rent and buy a storefront?"

The four people saw that Liang Chuan was confident and full of confidence. Liang Chuan continued, "You have heard of the saying "Wine is fragrant and you are not afraid of the deep alleys! Besides, our place is the center of Qingyuan's county town, and behind it is the residence of the county people. It is not afraid of not having a mass base. There are few people here just because there are not many shops. As long as we start the business, are we still afraid of no one?"

"Brother Zhao, go to the street to buy some firewood, oil and rice. Tonight is our first meal in Qingyuan. If we buy some wine and meat, we must have a good meal!" Ye Xiaochai told Zhao, "The first meal in the group is of great significance, so Xiaochai naturally knows it."

"I'll go to the kitchen to see how this stove is. If it doesn't work, I'll change it myself tomorrow!" Zhao Xiaopin had already made up his mind. After he came to Qingyuan, he would use his strengths to make the stove change bigger and stronger. Qingyuan has tens of thousands of residents, and every household has his own stove, and this business will probably last for decades.

Liang Chuan looked around and said, "Xiaochai and Yuzhen go clean up the room. It's better to have a brazier and bake each room in the room. Is there any popularity in these rooms for too long? The moisture and rusticity may invade the body. If you sleep in such a room, you will get sick. I will go to find the landlord Bi Zhaosheng and drink with him at night. Distant relatives are worse than close neighbors. We will have a relationship in the future and we need to cultivate some feelings."

All four of them went to work hard, and Liang Chuan also left and walked out of the house and walked towards the printing workshop next door. Before he could enter the store, he heard a stern reprimand from afar. Listening to the sound, it seemed to be the voice of Bi Zhaosheng, the son of the old shop owner. Liang Chuan thought to himself, why is this kid so angry?

Liang Chuan gently walked out of the store, and heard Bi Zhaosheng curse his friend, "You guys are not enterprising every day, and the skills they have learned from the teacher are so shallow. Now the price of the azure board is one day. I will suffer from this little property for two more days. Sooner or later, I have to drink the northwest wind!"

A guy cursed and said, "I just broke a board. Now I don't have enough food every day, and my hands are already shaking. How can I not carve it wrong!"

"Eat! Eat! Eat! Eat! You all think about eating. What else can you do besides eating?" Forget it, this guy directly exploded Bi Zhaosheng, which made Bi Zhaosheng angry and wanted to hit someone.

The owner of the old shop owner quickly became a friend and stopped his son: "Now there is not enough manpower now, and if you demand so severely on him, who will help you? Our old brand will be closed."

Liang Chuan thought that this matter was not a glorious thing. It would be bad if they could catch themselves in eavesdrop on the wall later. So he just came into the door and walked into the store directly, and glanced around. The atmosphere was a little depressing. Liang Chuan smiled and said, "Old Bi and Brother Bi, my small shop is newly opened, and it depends on you to have a drink at my store tonight!"

Bi Zhaosheng saw that outsiders were present, and it was not easy to have an attack. He also understood the principle that family scandals should not be present in front of others, so he hurriedly replied: "Brother Liang Chuan will go back first, and I will come later."

Zhaodi quickly bought wine, meat and vegetables. Zhao Xiaopin raised the stove early in the kitchen, and waited for Xiaopin's rice to be put into the pot. Ye Xiaochai cleaned the bedroom living room. The dust was clean. The house that was originally ash has now looked completely different.

Shen Yuzhen was smart and had learned a good cooking skills from He Lu with Yi Niang. She brought out many delicious dishes in a short while with meat and vegetables. Zhaodi saw someone selling a red fruit wine in the market, and thought Liang Chuan had never drunk it. In the past, he saw Liang Chuan drinking rice wine and white wine. Unexpectedly, there was still red wine. He bought it and let Liang Chuan taste it!

Liang Chuan was so tired these days that he finally took root in Qingyuan. The two fathers and sons of Bi came to the door in a short while. Zhaodi put the wine table on the table and went to the kitchen to eat vegetables. Before leaving, he said: "Boss, I saw this kind of fruit wine on the street. I have never seen it in Xinghua before. I bought it for you to try it!"

Liang Chuan brought a wine pot and patted Kaifeng mud. A fruity smell came to his face. When he looked at the color, it turned out to be a bright red color. Liang Chuan was overjoyed: "Isn't this wine? I didn't expect that I still have the chance to drink this thing!"

Bi Zhaosheng just sat down and was overjoyed when he smelled the fragrance: "This grape wine is a unique wine in the Western Regions. I didn't expect you to drink it too!"

Liang Chuan said: "It's okay, it's okay."

Bi Zhaosheng said: "The old saying goes: Grape wine is luminous and luminous, and the pipa is about to drink it immediately, and it is the wine that is talking about!"

Liang Chuan's eyes lit up: "Brother Bi is worthy of being engaged in the cultural industry, and his belly is full of ink!"

The three of them laughed, raised their chopsticks and started eating meat and drinking. The wine was made by hand, and the degree was much higher than that of later generations, but the taste was even more mellow. Liang Chuan lit up after his first sip. This is a good thing, pure green food without any added industrial synthetic agents.

"It would be even better if there were some ice cubes. There was still a little heat in this wine. Adding some ice cubes would make the taste of this wine a higher level!" Liang Chuan blurted out.

"This wine is that there are too many people in Qingyuan, and you can taste it frequently. Even in Xinghua, it is difficult to drink it. It is good to drink it if you have anything to do. Brother Zhang is still thinking about perfection and adding ice cubes to the wine! Ice cubes are not easier to make than this wine!"

"Drink! I'm drunk today, I don't care about that!" Liang Chuan said happily.

After drinking for three rounds, Bi Zhaosheng sighed, "Now Qingyuan's various industries are booming, and it is not easy to make money from scholars like us."

Liang Chuan asked unexpectedly: "What do you say?"

"Now everyone is thinking about doing business and making a fortune, but who still wants to read the books of sages!"

"Didn't Qingyuan produce many talents? I remember that you have produced many Jinshi here, right?"

Bi Zhaosheng sighed, "That was the past, but it's not possible now. In the past, there were seedlings of study everywhere. Everyone was proud of studying poetry and books, and they could become a Jinshi every year. But now everyone knows that studying is also a seventh-rank sesame official. How much money can you make? It's better to be a businessman, wearing brocade clothes and riding a horse, which is even more leisurely than studying!"

"No wonder your store has a bad business, right?" Liang Chuan teased.

Bi Zhaosheng shook his head, picked up the wine glass helplessly, and took a sip of the stuffy wine.

"Brother Liang Chuan doesn't look like scholars, so I don't know what business to do in the future?"

"No hurry. Just do some money if you can make money. I heard that there is gold everywhere in Qingyuan, so I want to pick it up. It's enough to pick it up, hahaha."

"Although this is right, there is no goal. It is not a solution to go by this day by day. Since Brother Liang Chuan rents a shop first, he must have been calculating in his heart. Are you still afraid that I will steal your business...?" Bi Zhaosheng said unintentionally, his eyes suddenly opened wide, and he asked anxiously: "You must be a fellow traveler!"
