In the inn, Nie Lingling sighed, "Song Kai, you are so stupid to read."

Afu also sighed and said, "Dalang, forget it, after all, Miss Liu is not something we can afford to marry. With this gold, buy some betrothal gifts, and I will give you another marriage to Dalang."

Song Kai waved his hand and said, "Okay, we can have a meal tonight. I'll tell you about your next plan at the dinner table."

When the food was served, Song Kai took a sip of the wine and frowned. The wine was indeed unpalatable, but I don’t know if Tangren liked those highly redistilled wines now. If they liked it, the store would have a new attraction. Well, let’s make some tomorrow and let Afu taste it.

Nie Lingdang is a standard foodie. She has already started to eat as soon as the food comes.

Song Kai said: "Today was my mistake. I was underestimated for the current severe situation, which caused our miserable defeat today. Next, we need to re-plan, understand the situation of the enemy and us, clarify the industry rules, formulate a complete set of combat plans, and make the reputation of Hongchen Inn in one fell swoop."

Ah Fu was dizzy when he heard this, and he sighed in his heart that his young master was a scholar and he couldn't even understand what he said.

Nie Lingdang was just concerned about eating. As for what Song Kai said, it would be enough to make money anyway. Now he had ten taels of gold in his hand and could go out to buy some clothes tomorrow.

"First of all, we have to run our own restaurant first. I will go to other restaurants tomorrow to learn about other people's successful experiences. In addition, it is about recruitment and advertising. The recruitment notice will be big and hang it in front of the city tower. There should be no advertising fee now. Well, I will make some advertisements and post them to the surrounding neighbors..." Song Kai murmured.

After hearing a few words, Afu really couldn't understand, so he lowered his head to eat. As for Nie Lingling, he never raised his head from beginning to end.

Song Kai spitted and said something. Seeing that the old and young people didn't respond, he sighed in his heart that he was indeed a teammate like a pig.

After dinner, Nie Lingdang said, "I haven't taken a shower for a long time. Song Kai, do you have any clothes to change at home?"

"Do you wear mine?" Song Kai gave Nie Lingdang a blank look.

Nie Lingling crossed Song Kai, then laughed and said, "Isn't there any gold? Can you go and buy me a set of clothes?"

"No," Song Kai thought for a while, "unless you sign a contract with me."

"What contract?" Nie Lingling was puzzled, and the silver bell on his wrist rang.

"Well, that is, I can give you food, accommodation, and clothing, but you have to work in my store for three years. Well, it's almost three years. I will find a way to whitewash your identity," Song Kai said.

"What! You let me be your servant!" Nie Lingling stared at her, murderous intent, "Auntie is so dignified..."

"Stop!" Song Kai interrupted Nie Lingling's words, "It's not a slave, it's just a friend in the store. You think, your identity is so sensitive now, I have to take risks in you, don't you have to ask for some reward."

Nie Lingding's eyes turned, "It's okay to be a buddy, but you can't let me take a bath for you, let me serve you."

Song Kai rolled his eyelids and said, "Look at you, who is willing to let you serve you?"

"I kill you……"

Ah Fu coughed twice, "Dalang, if you want to buy clothes, you need to be sooner. After a while, the store will be closed."

"Well, that's true. Uncle Fu, you boil some water in the store. It's time for me to take a shower," Song Kai wiped his mouth and walked out.

Nie Lingling shouted and chased after her, and she grabbed the corner of Song Kai's clothes.

"What are you doing?" Song Kai turned around and asked in confusion.

Nie Lingding's cheeks flushed, "Do you know... do you know what clothes you want to buy?"

"Of course I know, skirts, underwear, and bellybands, aren't that all?" Song Kai briefly.

Nie Lingdang's face turned even redder. I think Song Kai must not be a serious scholar.

After leaving the store, Song Kaixian went to the gold shop to exchange for some broken gold ingots and some copper coins. During the Tang Dynasty, broken silver was not common among the people. One tael of gold was exchanged for five taels of silver. However, the exchange rate always changed. Generally, copper coins or gold ingots were used for transactions.

After entering the clothes store and walking around, Song Kai felt really distressed. Nowadays, clothes are too expensive. Ordinary ones cost two or three hundred yuan a piece. The better ones cost seven or eight hundred yuan, and even a consistent amount of money.

I originally planned to buy one for myself and Uncle Fu, but seeing the price, Song Kai retreated and only bought a set of inner and outer clothes for Nie Lingdang.

Then Song Kai went around the Four Treasures Store in the Study House and spent a lifetime to buy high-quality white paper and ink before returning to the inn.

The prices are really high.

Song Kai sighed in his heart, fortunately the food was quite cheap.

Nie Lingdang took the clothes bought by Song Kai, ran back to his room with a red face.

Song Kai was puzzled. This girl is crazy on weekdays, so why does she blush so easily?

Nie Lingling went back to the room and looked through the clothes that Song Kai bought. Her heart thumped. She let the man see his underwear. She was shameless. Now she had been touched by the man. Oh, if this was spread, she would really not be able to see anyone in the future.

Song Kai naturally didn't think so much. He took a shower and slept comfortably. The next day he got up and rinsed his mouth and washed his face. He was about to go to other restaurants to see the business strategies of other restaurants and take a field exam.

With a creaking sound, Nie Lingling's door opened, and a woman walked out of her body, wearing a messy white skirt, her hair was loosely wrapped around her head, and she was yawning, which was very beautiful.

Song Kai stared at him and was surprised. He knew that Nie Lingling looked very good, but he didn't expect that he could be so beautiful when changing to women's clothing.

"Hi, beauty!" Song Kai waved.

Nie Lingling blushed again and glared at Song Kai, "Dengtu!"

"Ah?" Song Kai was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "I just told the truth. I didn't expect you to be so beautiful. No wonder Wang Weng outside the city wanted to buy you as a concubine."

"Hmph! Auntie is a dignified princess, naturally beautiful..."

Song Kai waved his hand, and after washing up, he left the store and walked to a restaurant about 3,000 meters apart.

The restaurant is called Tianfu Restaurant, which is more domineering than the Hongchen Inn.

Song Kai sighed. When he entered the restaurant, there were many people sitting in a bustling place. Some ordered a pot of tea, some pastries, melon seeds, chatting, and chatting, while others gathered at the table, drinking and eating meat.

Song Kai walked into the restaurant and observed the environment inside, and was very dissatisfied. Although he was not a businessman, he was still a time traveler. If even these businessmen could not compete, it would be too disgusting as a time traveler.

The wooden walls are hung with poems, calligraphy and paintings. The bartender is wearing a white towel on his shoulders and greets the guests with great enthusiasm. The hotel environment is good. You can see the brothel boats not far away. Come here to have a meal. It is not only a sentiment but also a symbol of identity.

Song Kai walked to the second floor and was about to find a table to sit down when a call came from behind, "Langjun Song!"

Song Kai turned his head and saw an old man sitting there near the window, with a pot of tea and a plate of peanuts in front of him.

"Brother Xue!" Song Kai walked over and bowed.

It was Xue Weihai who sat there.

Xue Weihai pointed to the opposite side and said, "Sit down! So coincidental, Song Lang, we're meeting again."

"Ha..." Song Kai smiled, "When I saw you, my father-in-law, I knew that I could eat something delicious for free today."

Xue Weihai stroked his beard and smiled, "You guy, you are thick-skinned, okay, I'll spend money today and invite you to dinner. Let's have some tea first. The tea doctor here is very good. I will come here to drink tea and have breakfast every morning."

As he said that, Xue Weihai picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Song Kai.

Song Kai tasted it, it was a bit bitter, and the fragrance was much less. He frowned. Is this a good tea?

"How is it?" Xue Weihai looked at Song Kai with a smile.

Song Kai shook his head, "Old Xue, this tea...hehe, to be honest, it's really not very good."

"Hahahaha," Xue Weihai seemed to have expected Song Kaike to say this, "You can't taste the good ones after all. On weekdays, you can only drink tea soup with green onions, ginger, garlic and vinegar."

"Ah?" Song Kai was puzzled, "Tea soup? Oh, you are talking about tea soup mixed with the ingredients, haha, that's not."

People in the Tang Dynasty liked to add ingredients when drinking tea, but in the late Tang Dynasty, many people had already regarded tea as an elegant taste and began to like drinking tea.

"No?" Old Xue smiled like an old fox, thinking that Song Kai was just a quibbling.

Song Kai shook the teacup and said, "This tea tastes too bitter."

"This is life. Tea tastes like life. From the tip of the tongue to the throat, it is naturally bitter, but after the bitterness, there are fragrances that permeate the lips and teeth." Xue Weihai chuckled. He never likes to say these words to others, but when he met Song Kai, he could let go much, perhaps because Song Kai was straightforward, cheerful, and thick-skinned.

Song Kai still shook his head, "It is also a life principle that bitter first and sweet, but the bitter taste is too long and it loses a lot of beauty. This tea is excellent, but after picking it, it is just dried and not fried in green, so the bitter taste is particularly long."

"Oh? Fried green? What does it mean?" Xue Weihai was a little surprised.

Song Kai said: "Before Qingming Festival, I picked these tender leaves, dried them a little and fryed them. Hehe, the taste is bitter, but the aftertaste is long. I think that is life, maybe it is bitter, but it is fragrant after all."

Xue Weihai frowned, thinking about his thoughts.

"Old Xue, Old Xue," Song Kai knocked on the table, "Why not serve the food?"

Xue Weihai came to his senses. When he heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, okay, serve the food, by the way, can the method of making tea you mentioned still be used now?"

"What I made now is summer tea, which has a strong taste and is less fragrant and sweet, but the tea tastes strong and has a unique taste." Song Kai explained casually, "In addition, you can also make fermented black tea now. After my inn opens, you can make some tea with Mr. Xue. At that time, my inn will provide these teas exclusively. Mr. Xue, you have to go to my shop to drink tea every day."

Xue Weihai laughed, "I heard from the Sun family's wife that your inn will be closed yesterday. Why do you want to open another business? I think you are not a businessman."
