"Suning? Su Sanming? The Sanyuan County Nemesis who burned Yinshan to destroy the Turks? Are you sure it was him?" In a house in dim light, the shopkeeper of the restaurant was standing respectfully on a man wearing black clothes and sitting upright on the cushion. When the shopkeeper reported to him that Suning wanted to buy the restaurant, the man showed a strange expression.

"It is possible if it is the same name and surname, but the characters will not be the same, not to mention that Suning will definitely not be wrong, Master, did Li Shimin notice something? Send Suning to inquire about our news? Do we need to do something?" The shopkeeper showed a worried expression on his face.

The man in black frowned, thought for a while and said, "Yao Li, how long have you been working for the young master in Chang'an City?"

Yao Li raised his head and looked at the man in black, lowered his head again: "Return to the master's words, it has been eight years since the sixth year of Wude."

The man in black nodded: "It's been eight years. Even during that period, Li Shimin didn't find you, so you were able to always work for the young master, right? Although Suning is indeed a little capable, it has only been more than half a month since he entered Chang'an and has been studying in the Hongwenguan. No matter how much Li Shimin favored him, he wouldn't tell him such important things, let alone the place in Pingkangfang, why should Suning's first-generation children come here?

As you said, Suning may just want to buy this restaurant to do something, but you don’t have to worry, you are absolutely safe, and doing things in this way is more convenient. Pingkangfang is mixed with all kinds of people, which is very unfavorable for us and it is very likely to reveal the situation. But wouldn’t it be better to let Suning be in the light and we are waiting in the dark?

Besides, we need a lot of money to do things. The restaurant is not enough to cover the expenses at present, and it is really useless. If we have to go with Suning, we can get some money. You go and talk to him. If the price is right, we will share the restaurant with him. However, no matter what, we should choose some reliable people to stay and continue to do things. You will stay in Pingkangfang. You will take my position in the future."

Yao Li was overjoyed and knelt down and bowed: "Yao Li thanked the master! Yao Li will definitely live up to his high expectations! He will do his best to do his best to do his job for the master! Do his job for the young master!"

The man in black smiled faintly and reached out to help him: "Don't thank you for this. The grandfather's great thing is important. This is the land deed and the house deed. You can use it to Suning. If you can increase the price, of course it is OK. Those people are those who are tempted by the wind and temptations when they see money. It's not easy for the young master. Now we can only share the worries of the young master. This is the responsibility of our shadow, do you understand?"

Yao Li bowed again: "Yao Li understands!"

The man in black nodded with satisfaction, looked at a piece of paper in his hand, frowned, and then showed a playful smile...

Suning, a very interesting person...

One day later, Suning came to Pingkangfang again and discussed with the shopkeeper yesterday. The door of the shop opened early this morning and the gate of the Su Mansion opened, a servant came with a letter. The general meaning was that the shopkeeper named Yao Li contacted the boss overnight last night and obtained permission from the boss. Today, Suning was invited to discuss the specific details and fees.

Suning was a little optimistic about Yao Li, and he really understood the worldly ways. He handed out a letter when the door opened early in the morning, avoiding the vast majority of people. After all, he was a nobleman, and it was a bit unpleasant to go to business in person, so Yao Li chose to send letters to him when the person was at least.

As soon as they received the letter, Suning knew that the matter had already been done. It seemed that the owner knew that the restaurant was indeed not easy to make money, so it was better to sell it. As soon as the buyer came, they would do the matter as quickly as possible. It seemed that they were right that they were the first buyer. After all, they had not revealed the intention of selling the restaurant, and no other buyers would come, otherwise the competition they faced would be fierce.

After all, it was the era of primitive business, and there was too little business means. Although these businessmen were old, their means may not be as good as Suning.

Of course, Suning still understands the reason why nights are long and dreams are too long. He can get this matter done as soon as possible, and then he can start to arrange it. Li Xiaogong is already preparing the fleet. Suning also told Li Xiaogong that he could catch some seafood along the way and keep it fresh with sea water. When he arrived in Chang'an, he would buy these seafood at a suitable price, killing two birds with one stone. Li Xiaogong agreed very satisfiedly and generously stated that all the seafood income belonged to the retainers and sailors on the boat, and he would not take any penny.

Old fox, just one white sugar and rock sugar can make him profit, and he can still see Shanghai food? Speaking of which, the method of making seafood and river food in the Tang Dynasty is really weird, such as crabs are pickled with honey! Not to mention the taste, they are so expensive, don’t they know that simply steamed crabs are also delicious? Not to mention those seafood, Chef Su is worried about anything else?

When I came to this Weixianju Restaurant, I received Suning from a doctorate yesterday. Speaking of which, this name is quite good. Weixianju, this restaurant is a place for food and drink. The most important thing about food and drink is taste. Weixianju is really a good name. If it is almost the same, I won’t change the name. The owner of this restaurant seems to be a scholar, and he can give such a name.

The doctor brought Suning to the private room yesterday and left, leaving Suning alone in the room and savoring the Fufang Drink. Speaking of which, the Fufang Drink in this restaurant is not much different from the Fufang Drink in Li Xiaogong's home. This is indeed a skill that only a noble family can have. Where can ordinary people taste Fufang Drink? The backend of this restaurant is quite small!

"Hahaha! Yesterday, Sanyuan Bo was here. The shop was not aware of Sanyuan Bo's identity and was in absent-minded manner. It was a sin. Today, I'm here to ask Sanyuan Bo to taste the most delicious food in our store. It can be considered as apologizing to Sanyuan Bo!" Yao Li appeared in front of Suning in a new clothes. Suning looked at Yao Li and suddenly felt that Yao Li was different from yesterday. Apart from the clothes and hats, he always felt that there was something different from yesterday...

However, Suning didn't care about this and nodded with a smile: "Shopkeeper Yao is polite. As soon as he received the letter from Store Manager Yao, he came. As for the rest, it doesn't matter. Come today, let's discuss the purchase of Weixianju. By the way, the three words Weixianju can be said to be the best in the restaurant. I wonder who did it?"

Yao Li smiled and said, "It was from the boss's hands, but the boss has important tasks. Today, I cannot come to discuss with Sanyuan Bo in person. The boss feels extremely guilty. Please forgive me."

Suning said understandingly: "It's okay, it's okay. This time I mainly came to discuss buying a restaurant, and nothing else mattered."

Yao Li nodded, smiled and took out two pieces of paper from his arms and handed it to Suning's table: "This is the land deed of this land, including the open space between the front, back, left and right. It took 400 guan in Wude's six years to purchase it. This is a clear proof presented by the government. There is no possibility of fraud. Please check Sanyuan Bo. Also, this deed was held by my boss. This house cost 100 guan at that time."

Suning nodded and looked at the land deeds and house deeds, as well as the seal of the Chang'an County Government. It has been six years of martial arts and has been around for eight years. It seems that this is true and not fake. So Suning said: "Well, the land deed is true. So, what is the bid for the land and this restaurant?"

Yao Li smiled and said, "That depends on the sincerity of Sanyuan Bo. I hope Sanyuan Bo will not blame him. When I speak business, I believe Sanyuan Bo will not bully us and other merchants."

Suning smiled and said, "I naturally understand this. When I speak business, I will naturally not let you suffer a loss. Is the price? What about 600 guan? Putting aside the price of these 400 guan, plus the restaurant and the interior decorations, what about you when you used 100 guan, and I added 100 guan, how about 200 guan?"

Yao Li smiled and gave a gift: "Sanyuan Bo, please don't joke. Our merchants are lowly people. We don't ask for him, just need the right price. But these six hundred stalks are really too little. In this way, we can't even recover the principal we invested one after another over the years! Sanyuan Bo does not lack food and clothing, but our merchants still need this money to live on. The owner is also short of money at present. If not, such a good location would not take action like this. What does Sanyuan Bo think?

If Sanyuan Bo had sincerely bought this place, we would naturally not make things difficult for Sanyuan Bo, but we would also ask Sanyuan Bo not to make things difficult for us. If we were to take advantage of this price, we would have no way to survive when we returned to our boss."

Suning's heart moved. Although business was underdeveloped in ancient times, these merchants had some level of skills. This is also true. Merchants value profit. This is a truth that has been around since ancient times. If merchants do not value profit, what kind of merchants should be? But how to value profit? How to obtain profit? Political power is a must-have. These merchants are indeed very difficult to deal with. After the Anshi Rebellion, some of the giant merchants who were separated from the control of wealthy families raised a large amount of military expenditure for the court to fight against the Anshi rebels. Therefore, after the war, these business elites gained the power to participate in politics.

This is the first time that the business elites participated in politics under the official permission of the court under the background of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce. However, they did not bring any capitalism, freedom and democracy, but they brought an unhealthy trend to the court's politics. Several prime ministers tried to limit the power of commercial elites to enhance their power, but several consecutive prime ministers were knocked down by these business elites. If the business elites were not able to have real political hard power, the entire court might be controlled by these merchants.

But even so, the power of business has brought such huge penetration and corrosion to the political power, and the horror of business can be seen. Suning feels that it must accumulate some experience in dealing with it as soon as possible. At the beginning, Suning just wanted to use this restaurant to make more money and become a person who is no longer short of money. This money can also be used to do a lot of things; but now it seems that how to promote and limit the development of business is the most important thing. This is a practice, and it must not be off track.

So Suning said, "So, what about 700 stakes? This is another 100 stakes, not a small amount. You should also make money back, right?"

Yao Li narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother Sanyuan, the wise man does not say secret words. I treat Sanyuan with sincerity. Why do Sanyuan tease her repeatedly? Sanyuan should also understand the value here, so please Sanyuan Bo make it clear!"
