Chapter 7 Small talk

Wuweizhai, the wing room is full, and most of the lobby on the first floor is full. Xiyang City is becoming increasingly prosperous, and merchants from all over the place are coming in, driving the business of wine shops and tea shops. Everyone negotiates a good deal in the city, so naturally they have to raise their glasses to celebrate. "Tianlai Novel w『w『

Ordinary people are naturally unable to consume in high-end places like Wuweizhai. However, Wuweizhai is very flexible in management. Customers can spend money to order a table of banquets, and they can also order one or two dishes to take away. This is called "takeout".

In order to prevent problems from leaving the restaurant until it is eaten, people will suffer from diarrhea or die after eating, there are restrictions on the dishes of Wuweizhai "takeout" and there is no soup. They are all small cooked food and small pastries.

Suitable for customers who are short of money but want to try it out, of course, the "takeout office" is on the side door to avoid rich customers entering and leaving the main door. After all, there is still a distinction between high and low.

"Ke-kun, your onion biscuits are ready!"

At the front desk of the takeaway office, a man was "packing" two kraft paper bags filled with fragrant biscuits. There was no such food in other parts of Huangzhou.

The man paid the money and was about to leave with a paper bag, but the guy reminded him: "Customer, please try to pick up a cookie from the bag to see if there is any problem."

"This... I'll take it back for my husband to eat."

"It's okay, the customer bought two bags of twenty biscuits in total, each bag of ten. The store gave one extra free of charge. According to the rules, it was for the customer to try it out, but I was afraid that it would cause a stomachache if I took it back and it would cause my stomach. No one could explain it clearly."

"That's how..."

The man was a little surprised. After opening the paper bag, hesitated for a moment and took out a biscuit. The biscuit was flake-shaped, browned in color, and a little warm, dissipating the fragrance of onion, and taking a bite was extremely crisp.

It's really delicious, worth the price of two cents per.

"How about it, do you think it's inappropriate?"

"No, no." After the man said, he thought for a while and asked, "How many more are there to buy cookies here?"

“Add more than one.”

'If you only buy one, it will cost a penny? It actually uses paper as packaging. Huangzhou paper is so cheap. The man was surprised, but he didn't say anything. He took the paper bag and left the front desk and walked out.

The guests waiting at the Wuweizhai Takeaway Office have already lined up. Judging from their clothes, they are all ordinary people. It seems that this kind of "takeaway" is quite popular among the people.

The man waited for a while and saw that many people only bought one biscuit, and the store gave one more. Of course, there was no paper bag in it. They all held one in one hand and tasted with relish.

‘Will this lose money?’ The man found it difficult to understand and walked to the street with his bag and walked to a tea shop.

Compared with Wuweizhai, the level here is naturally much lower, but the consumption is also very cheap. A large bowl of tea costs a penny and a bowl can be added. At noon, many people sat in the tea shop.

There are all kinds of smells of sweat, feet, bad breath, and even body odor. However, everyone is an ordinary person and there is nothing to pay attention to. Acquaintances gather together, order a few bowls of tea, order a few dishes and eat with relish.

Thanks to the cheap pork, chicken, duck, ham, meat floss, sausage and other meat products in Huangzhou, the price is much lower than elsewhere. Ordinary people can occasionally open meat, and there are a lot of meat in the side dishes in the tea shop.

Although there are not much places to go, there are still some oil and water, so many small vendors who come to the city to do small business also go to tea shops to solve the problem of eating, and some tea shops also provide local accommodation, so they just do whatever they want to stay.

In a corner of the tea shop, Li Gang, wearing casual clothes, was drinking tea and chatting with several people. His current identity is a businessman who first came to Xiyang to do business. He came to the tea shop to inquire about the market.

"Brother, everything in Xiyang is easy to sell. If the cost is small, you can't afford to sell cloth, or you can't read or sell books, even paper is easy to sell."

"I heard that paper in Huangzhou is much cheaper than elsewhere?"

"Of course, there are all kinds of paper, which is cheap and easy to use. If you are afraid of selling your money, you can sell groceries, and you will definitely not lose money."

"I don't know if I want to do some things?"

"Hi, here is different from elsewhere, no one bullies the market."

"Ah, I mean those clerks." Li Gang added that the problem of clerks has existed since ancient times. It is a matter that clerks do not dare to do if they deceive superiors and subordinates, and if geese pass by, they will pull their hair by plucking their hair.

"Who dares? Hehe, I'm really a newcomer. There is Yuwen envoy here in Xiyang City, so who dares to do whatever he wants?"

Another person corrected after hearing this: "I always envoy the king, and General Yuwen is now the king."

While he was talking, a man walked in and delivered two bags of warm biscuits to Li Gang.

"This is a biscuit from Wuweizhai, everyone can try it." Li Gang greeted several people. Seeing this, everyone bowed, said "thank you", and then picked up a piece and ate it.

"If you want me to tell me, Wuweizhai's biscuits are delicious. You've found the right place."

"What do you mean? Is there any other family in the city to make biscuits?"

"Yes, if you go too much, Wuweizhai is the first one to make, but it is not confidential and you can learn it by spending money. Nowadays, there are many people making biscuits, and they have all kinds of flavors. I dare not say anything else. If you have a scent of onion, you can find the best ones in Wuweizhai."

Li Gang greeted the people next to him to come and eat together. Seeing that he was so hospitable, everyone talked more. After all, they were short-lived and soft-speaking. If this businessman wanted to inquire about the news, then just speak freely.

"I heard that Wuweizhai is the property of the royal palace?"

"That's right, and the Ruixing account are the same. There are many industries in the royal palace, and most of them are under the name of Ruixing account. If you want to do business with the royal palace, it will be difficult."

"What do you mean by this? Could it be that the industry of the royal palace is monopolized?"

"That's not, it's just that Ruixing's business is doing big. How much does it cost to me? If there is not enough, it's better to find another company. After all, the purchase volume is not large, so what... the wholesale price is not enough."

Li Gang pondered for a moment and asked, "Since Ruixing is a royal estate, I want to come to Huangzhou businessmen? I'm just here for a while. Should I go to visit one or two first so that people will not be rude?"

"Hey, I'm thinking too much. Ruixing's big name has never bullies the market. I do business in Xiyang City and Bakou. I don't have to visit any merchants. Every family is the same. You can do business with any business. Don't worry, brother."

"If there is any dispute in business, what should I do?"

"Just go directly to the government! The Bakou area is under the jurisdiction of Badong County, and the city is under the jurisdiction of Xiyang County. If it cannot be managed, go to the prefecture."

"But there are no acquaintances in the yamen, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? General Manager Yuwen has been in Huangzhou for so many years. No one dares to do anything wrong. If you have any grievances, just sue them."

"So that's it." Li Gang nodded, took a sip of tea and asked again: "I have heard from others that General Manager Yuwen is fond of eating human flesh?"

"Hahahahaha! Is there anyone else who says General Yuwen robbed the civilian girl in the street?"

Everyone laughed. This kind of topic is often asked about by outsiders, so they are not surprised.

"Brother, that's because Chen Guo has been suffering from the loss in front of General Manager Yuwen, and he can't beat him but he can only arrange the rumors."

Li Gang carefully observed the expressions of the people, and saw that they were not as fake, so he calmed down. He had already tested the other party before, and his words and deeds were not suspicious, and now he did not look like a fake vendor.

Today I went out to walk around the city, but I met King Yuwen of Xiyang. He was afraid that Yuwen Wen would send someone to pretend to be a commoner and gather around to perform a play for him to cover up his daily evil deeds.

In this way, King Xiyang has a good reputation in Huangzhou?

After checking out, he left and whispered, "Mr. Lord, no one has followed him."

"Well, let's get here today, let's go back first."

Li Gang walked out of the teahouse door with his entourage. Two young vendors outside the door who were talking looked at his back and stopped talking, exchanged their eyes and left separately.
