After Zhang Jian brought Shen Yi to Liquan Tower, he sat with Shen Yi for a while, then got up and left, without actually taking Shen Yi to attend any cultural gathering.
On the one hand, it may be because the Jiangdu County magistrate does not like those arty poetry gatherings among scholars, and on the other hand, it may be because it is a bit embarrassing to take a child there.
Shen Yi was also happy.
He can "communicate" with Zhang Jian, but he is too lazy to deal with other people who may be of little value.
However, we have to admit that although the collection of books in Liquan Tower is not rich, most of the books in the collection are rare and useful.
Shen Yi picked around in Liquan Building, and finally picked two books to borrow. There was an old man in his fifties in Liquan Building who was responsible for taking care of the books. After he helped Shen Yi "register", he told Shen Yi that the next When you return a book, you need to bring a book to the Liquan Building bookshelf to be eligible to borrow books from the Liquan Building.
Perhaps for Zhang Jian's sake, the little old man didn't make it difficult for Shen Yi, but let Shen Yi take away the two books in his hand.
Ever since, in the next period of time, besides Jin Prince's Mansion and Xu Fu's small courtyard, Shen Yi had a third place to go in Jiankang City, which was Liquan Tower.
Although the main function of Liquan Tower has become "communication", Shen Yi's current purpose of going to Liquan Tower is still very simple.
That's just to read books and simply enrich your business capabilities.
In this way, time passed slowly in the life of three o'clock and one line, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of February in Hongde's sixth year.
In other words, there are only a few days left before the hospital examination.
Shen Zhang was very concerned about his son's exam. He went to the temple several days in advance to ask for a signature for Shen Yi, and then spent money to bring back an amulet that had been consecrated by a master and pinned it on Shen Yi's waist.
Maybe this is the father.
He had no preparation at all for the food that was really useful for the exam, and made these fancy things.
Fortunately, Shen Yi has already passed the scientific examination twice and has relatively rich experience in examinations. He can also prepare well for such things as test baskets and food.
Finally, time has entered March.
The weather is slowly getting warmer.
With only three days left before the exam, Shen Yi finally put down the "Collection of Number One Scholars" he had been reading for several days and left the guest room in the palace.
At this time, he had lived in Prince Jin's Mansion for more than a month. He knew everything about Prince Jin's Mansion. At least he was familiar with it. Shen Qilang quickly found his father Shen Zhang who was busy in the palace.
"Dad, I have to go out for a few days and won't be returning to the palace for a few days."
Shen Zhang was originally directing people to move things. After hearing Shen Yi's words, he immediately looked back at Shen Yi: "I'm about to take the hospital exam. Where are you going?"
"It's precisely because the exam is coming up that I have to go out and relax."
Shen Yi said with a smile: "Don't worry, Dad, my son knows what he is doing and won't delay the exam."
Because Shen Yi's scientific examination was successful and he received the emperor's commendation, Shen Zhang could almost say that he was obedient to his son. After a few simple questions, he told Shen Yi to pay attention to his safety and let Shen Yi leave. .
Shen Qilang left the Jin Palace and went all the way to Dongshi Street in Jiankang City.
In Jiankang City, there are two relatively large markets, namely the East and West markets. These two large markets sell all kinds of things in a wide range of categories.
There is a snack street dedicated to restaurants in Dongshi Street. In this snack street, a new shop has recently opened and it is very busy.
The food sold in the shop are also popular in Jiankang City recently, including the famous Jiangdu Pancakes by the Qinhuai River, and Chuanchuan Xiang, which has been selling well recently.
Yes, that's right, Shen Yi bought a shop.
It cost Shen Yi more than a thousand taels of silver to buy this shop. After buying it, they simply tidied it up, and Xu Fu and Ding Man opened it in the same place.
Up to now, this new store has been open for more than ten days. Because it has used many modern marketing methods, and the name of Xu Ji Chuan Chuan Xiang is still well-known along the Qinhuai River, the business of the store is pretty good at this time. The two little guys, Xu Fu and Ding Man, were very busy.
The reason why Shen Yi bought this shop was not because he was determined to continue the snack business in Jiankang City, but because he wanted to test the waters.
There are two directions for testing the waters.
The first is to speculate on land prices.
If Dongshi Street, a snack street, can be turned into a famous snack street in Jiankang City, then the rent of shops on this street and the prices of shops will skyrocket. By then, whether Shen Yi changes hands or rents out, he will have a huge sum of money. Philippine income.
As for the second attempt, it was even simpler.
Shen Yi wants to make this shop popular and then sell this "signature".
There is no concept of infringement in this era, so now there are many "Xu Ji Chuan Chuan Xiang" stores in Jiankang City. Although most of the bosses are not named Xu, the business is basically done.
Shen Yi's plan is to build the Dongshi Street sign, make it big, and then resell it to make a small profit.
Of course, the reason for making this attempt is ultimately due to lack of money.
If Shen Yi is rich, he can buy all the shops along this street, pack them up himself, and hire a few people to open various shops. He can quickly bring up the business, and then sell it and make a lot of money. The bowl is full.
No matter what you do, don't be impatient.
If you have ten taels of silver, you can do the work of ten taels of silver. If you have one thousand taels of silver, you can do the work of one thousand taels of silver.
After the opening of this new store, Shen Yi, the behind-the-scenes boss, came here once. This was the second time he came to Dongshi Street. As soon as he walked into Dongshi Street, he saw many people crowded around the door of his shop.
Shen Yi quickly walked over and took a look, only to see that the business of the shop had stopped. Two big men were standing at the door of the shop with their hands on their waists. They shouted to Xu Fu in the shop in a rough voice: "Do you understand, my lady wants to Eat your food, get me a portion of each, or I’ll tear down this shabby shop of yours!”
As soon as this man spoke, there was a burst of curses from the crowd of onlookers.
Because this man spoke an obvious northern dialect, you could almost immediately tell that he was a barbarian from the Northern Qi Dynasty.
At this time, there were two or three people lying on the ground at the door of the store. Two of them were still holding their stomachs and whining in pain.
Correct
At this point, things are basically clear.
Most likely, these Qi people were too aggressive and were unwilling to line up, and even beat up the people in line, which led to the situation like this.
Xu Fu in the shop saw this kind of violence for the first time. He looked at the big man in front of him and then at the guests lying on the ground. After gritting his teeth, he was about to speak when he heard a deep voice from the side. Shichiro's somewhat angry voice came.
"You northerners dare to beat people in Jiankang City in broad daylight!"
The Northern Qi man immediately turned around, looked up and down at Shen Yi, who was a bit thin, and then sneered with his nostrils raised in the sky and said in a disdainful tone: "What's wrong with hitting someone?"
He looked arrogant.
"If you are able, report it to Jiankang Mansion and arrest me. I want to see if you southerners dare to touch a hair on my head!"
