No one would have thought that Qianqiu Trading Company would be so arrogant, opening 28 grain stores, 35 restaurants and 5 jade shops on the same day.
It was also on this day that the reputation of Qianqiu Company resounded throughout Kyoto.
However, on such an important day, Su Shi didn't go anywhere, lying lazily on the bench, looking a little bored.
Today he got up earlier than usual because his eldest brother Su Zhou left for the border early this morning. He originally planned to send him to Shiliting, but Su Zhou refused.
Because he knew that Su Shi would be very busy with the opening of sixty-eight shops and restaurants under Qianqiu Trading Company today, so no matter how Su Shi explained, he was determined not to see Su Shi off.
Su Shi had no choice but to give up. After Su Zhou left the general's mansion, he lay lazily on the bench.
It's not that he doesn't want to do things, it's just that he has nothing to do now.
Lin Mo looked at Su Shi's lazy look and couldn't help but ask, "Master, don't you go and inspect the opening today?"
"Not going?"
"Why?"
Su Shi sighed: "More than sixty shops and restaurants are distributed in forty-six squares. After this inspection, I'm afraid it will take five or six days before a fool would do such a boring thing."
"Aren't you worried, Master?"
"I have nothing to worry about." Su Shi said lightly, "They should be the ones worried."
Having said this, Su Shi stood up and said with a smile: "Today will definitely be very long. It would be too boring to lie in the house like this all day. Please go out for a walk with me."
"Where to go?"
Su Shi thought for a while and said, "I remember that the clothes I customized in Ruihexiang should be cut, so I went to Ruihexiang."
Lin Mo said: "If you want to get clothes, just send a servant there. Why does the young master need to make this trip?"
Su Shi said: "Isn't this boring? By the way, remember to bring a jar of wine."
Lin Mo said blankly: "Why?"
Su Shi smiled and said: "Tang embroidery girl Tang Jia is a very good opponent, not to mention she has helped me and the custom-made clothes were cut by her herself, so she should show her sincerity."
Now that the young master had made his decision, Lin Mo had no choice but to comply, so Lin Mo drove the carriage and drove Su Shi towards Yong'anfang.
When they arrived at Ruihexiang in Yong'an Square, Su Shi walked straight away. At this time, the guests had already come up to him, with smiles on their faces.
"Master Su, are you here to get Ling Jinpao? This way, please."
Su Shi said, "I'm not in a hurry. Is Mr. Tang here?"
The guest nodded hurriedly and said, "It's upstairs."
"I want to thank everyone Tang in person."
This is also human nature. The guest smiled and said, "I will lead the way for Mr. Su."
When they arrived at Tang Xiu Nu's door, they saw that the door was tightly closed. The guest knocked gently on the door and called softly: "Master Tang."
Tang Xiunu's lazy voice came from the room: "What's the matter?"
Before the guest could speak, Su Shi had already said, "Su Shi came to visit to thank everyone in Tang Dynasty."
The room suddenly fell into silence. After a while, Su Shi heard footsteps approaching from far away and came to the door. Then the door creaked and Tang Xiu Nu appeared in front of Su Shi.
"Master Su, please come inside."
Su Shi followed Tang Xiunu into the embroidery room. After the two sat down, Tang Xiunu said again: "Young Master Su, you're welcome. It's my job to tailor clothes for you, and I don't dare to ask you to thank me."
At this time, a maid brought tea. After pouring the tea for Su Shi, she bowed to Su Shi and Tang Xiu Nu and then left.
Su Shi picked up the tea cup and said with a smile, "That's right. And to show my gratitude, I brought a gift to everyone in Tang Dynasty."
Tang Xiu Nu's expression did not change and she said: "You will not get reward for your merits. The master has already given you a full price, so the embroider girl dare not accept any more gifts from him."
Su Shi smiled and said, "It's not an expensive gift. I know that everyone in Tang Dynasty likes wine, so I brought a small jar of the Jiangjin wine I brewed for everyone in Tang Dynasty to taste."
"Jianjin Wine?" Tang Xiunu's eyes lit up and she said, "I passed by a restaurant today and saw a jar of wine placed in front of the restaurant. On the jar was written the words "Jianjin Wine". Could it be the wine brewed by Mr. Su? "
"good."
Tang Xiunu asked curiously: "Why should the wine jar be placed in front of the restaurant?"
Su Shi looked at the clock and said with a smile, "It will be noon in half an hour. Everyone in Tang Dynasty will know by then."
Tang Xiunu just smiled slightly and said, "Master Su, I'm afraid I'm here not just to say thank you, right?"
Su Shi nodded lightly and said with a smile: "It's difficult to find a drinking opponent. Last time we were in the Qingzhu Courtyard, I had a great chat with Mr. Tang. I wonder if Mr. Tang would be willing to give me a favor at noon. Returning to the old place?”
Tang Xiunu didn't comment, just looked at him quietly.
Su Shi said slowly: "I already know the secret of the strange pattern that Hui Niang left on the silk handkerchief."
The Tang Embroidery Goddess was moved: "Is what the young master said true?"
"I don't dare to deceive everyone."
The embroidered girl of the Tang Dynasty smiled and said, "It is indeed difficult to find a drinking rival. Since Mr. Su sincerely invites you, how can the embroidered girl refuse?"
Su Shi said happily: "In that case, I will wait for Mr. Tang downstairs."
Tang Xiu Nu nodded lightly. After Su Shi said goodbye to her, he went downstairs to get his clothes. After handing them to Lin Mo, he stood quietly by the carriage and waited.
He didn't wait long before Tang Xiu Nu came out.
At this time, another carriage slowly drove over and stopped in front of the door. Tang Xiu Nu smiled at Su Shi and said, "Let Xiu Nu lead the way for the young master."
After saying that, she got on the carriage, which moved forward slowly. Su Shi hurriedly boarded the carriage. Lin Mo immediately raised the whip in his hand, making a clear sound, and the carriage immediately followed.
Not long after, two carriages arrived at the tavern where they drank last time. Tang Xiunu got off the carriage and waited quietly in front of the door. At this time, the hotel manager heard the sound of the carriage and hurried out to greet her. When he saw Tang Xiu Nu, he couldn't help being surprised and happy.
Su Shi jumped off the carriage at this time, but the shopkeeper just looked at Tang Xiu Nu infatuatedly, and did not come back to his senses until Su Shi walked in front of her.
He said hurriedly: "Two distinguished guests, please come in."
Tang Xiunu walked in without saying a word. Su Shi looked at the elegant shopkeeper and said with a smile, "This is the second time I'm bothering you. I haven't asked the shopkeeper's name yet."
The shopkeeper looked disappointed and sighed: "My surname is Wei Mingzhe. Sir, please come in."
"It turned out to be shopkeeper Wei, who was in Xiasu."
Shopkeeper Wei seemed to have never heard of this name, and just said, "It turns out to be Young Master Su. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you."
Although he said the word "nice to meet" in his mouth, there was no expression of "nice to meet" on his face.
Su Shi didn't pay attention. He stepped into the tavern and saw Tang Xiunu sitting in the same position as last time.
After Su Shi sat down, Lin Mo also walked in with a wine jar. Tang Xiunu looked at the small and exquisite wine jar and couldn't help but smile: "Young Master is a bit stingy, I'm afraid this small jar of wine is not enough for you." Drink alone.”
Su Shi smiled and said, "Don't underestimate this small jar of wine, Tang Dynasty. This jar of wine can make at least three or four people drunk."
Of course Tang Xiu Nu didn’t believe it.
Su Shi didn't explain, but just used force to remove the stopper on the wine jar.
At this time, noon has arrived. The people guarding the wine jar in front of Wangfu Wine glanced at each other, and then in full view of everyone, they slipped out a small hammer from their sleeves, and then smashed it heavily amidst everyone’s exclamations. Towards the wine jar on the wooden stand.
The wine jar suddenly shattered, and the clear and crystal wine poured out like a flood, pouring onto the ground.
The wine flowed everywhere along the ground, and the strong aroma of wine spread, making people intoxicated.
