Xu Pingyi sighed in his heart. Just as he was about to say something, there was a commotion outside.
The noise spread all the way from downstairs into "Yunshangxian", the largest private room in Zuixian Tower.
"Brother, it's so lively, I want to take a look."
Zuixianlou is the best restaurant in Bianjing City, and it is the first choice for dignitaries when they are away from home.
The business here is better than the promised Heyue Hall, and the quality is higher. The main reason is that it is in the high-end private rooms and this "Yunshangxian". She is naturally curious about the visitors of "Yunshangxian".
Xu Pingyi nodded.
Xu Nuo smiled, straightened his sleeves, stood up, gracefully walked out of the private room, and walked towards Yunshangxian.
The performance was very natural and there was no sense of prying eyes.
There were many servants outside Yunshangxian, and there were also many waiters. Everyone was busy and overjoyed.
Before I could find out the origin of the group of people just now, I overheard a conversation.
"Mom, I want to go out of town to watch a polo match on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Can I skip the Yang family's banquet?"
"Silly boy, we weren't going to a banquet. Mom fell in love with you..."
"Mom, he was at the polo match that day."
"You kid..."
Xu Nuo has a good ear and heard the whispers of a mother and daughter in a private room.
She was slightly startled.
It turns out that in addition to young men like Xu Pingqi who want to play and watch football at this newly opened polo ground, there are also young ladies who also want to watch the game and secretly take a look at their loved ones.
Polo matches are indeed a great opportunity for people-watching.
It is more convenient for ladies to observe their husbands than the so-called flower viewing banquet, and they can do so openly and openly.
With such a good opportunity, there must be many ladies who have such thoughts.
As a middle-aged man, shopkeeper Liu must not have expected such visitors, so he must prepare some things that the lady can use when she goes out as soon as possible. Whether it is renting or selling, he will definitely make a lot of money.
Thinking of this, the corners of Xu Nuo's pursed lips curved greatly.
She stopped asking about that group of people and went directly back to the private room.
"Those people just now won the game at the polo field today, and they came to celebrate." Although I didn't ask anyone, I heard the words polo, Xixia horse, and winning among those people talking and laughing, and I judged that this result.
"Today is the venue hosted by the Ding family. Ding Silang is here, as are the Song brothers."
Xu Pingqi put down his chopsticks and spoke slowly. Today is the second day of the new year, the first game at the polo ground, so Ding Mo and others are naturally happy to win. He wasn't surprised at all that they were here to celebrate.
"Erlang, you know a lot. Since you know, why didn't you stop me when I went out just now, so that my trip would be in vain!"
Xu Nuo complained softly, and slowly turned her eyes to look at Xu Pingyi, hoping that her elder brother would seek justice for her.
Xu Pingqi saw Xu Nuo's intention and immediately said: "Sixth sister, there are two points I want to explain. First, as a lady, you can join in the excitement. This is not in good taste. Second, if I dissuade you, you I'm sure my meddling in other people's affairs will increase the dispute between you and me, but it's not that I don't want to dissuade you."
Xu Pingqi raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing more.
"Brother, look, Erlang bullied me like this." Xu Nuo hugged Xu Pingyi's arm and deeply condemned Xu Erlang, regardless of what Xu Pingqi said.
Xu Pingyi saw the purpose of the argument between the two, but did not point it out. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Liu Niang, Erlang just spoke more frankly. Don't feel bad."
Then he took out his arm little by little and served her a bowl of soup, "Drink some soup to warm yourself up."
Seeing his brother's warm and beautiful smile when he spoke, Xu Nuo immediately forgave Xu Erlang and stopped condemning him any further. Instead, he picked up his bowl and drank the soup silently.
Xu Pingqi looked at Xu Pingyi in disbelief, "Brother, how can you be so biased towards Liu Niang?"
He believed that his brother would agree with the reasonable person and thought that he would win this round. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by a coquettish sentence.
He knew very well that Liu Niang never spoke like this, even when facing her father and mother. Today, in order to steal eldest brother's attention, he actually used such a trick.
Of course, in order to win the attention of his elder brother, he also said some theories that he didn't like.
"Erlang, in life, if you can do whatever you want, you will be most comfortable. If Liu Niang wants to see and ask, then go. There is no need to frame her with strict rules. Of course, what you said is not unreasonable. But I really can’t bear to let Liu Niang feel sad in front of me.”
While Xu Pingyi was talking, he was picking up food for Xu Pingqi, his smile still warm and soothing.
Xu Pingqi wanted to retort, saying that after he promised to marry, he must be bound by the rules. When the words came to his mouth, a figure appeared in his mind, and he did not speak.
Xiao Yuan probably doesn't have any rules.
So he raised his bowl and asked Xu Pingyi to serve him a bowl of soup as well.
During the meal, Xu Nuo and Xu Ping Qiming competed secretly, while Xu Pingyi tried his best to maintain a balance and prevent anyone from feeling that he was favoring the other.
Back in the Xu Mansion, Qi Qiyue quickly put down the pen after hearing that she was going to prepare things for women to use at the polo field.
He moved to Xu Nuo's side and started massaging her arms, his eyes shining brightly.
"Madam, you are so smart. I no longer want to accompany you to those mansions. Let's go to the polo match too."
"We are going to help shopkeeper Liu make money, don't think about playing. We owe several owners dividends at the end of the year, so we can make it back this time." Xu Nuo stretched out one arm for Qiyue to massage, and raised the other to knock. He touched Qi Qi’s forehead.
"Madam, please slow down! It hurts!" Qi Qi shouted.
"If you know it hurts, don't think about how to play it all the time."
"So, madam, what should we prepare?" Qi Qiyue had no idea about this, because Xu Nuo had never participated in such outdoor activities, and she had no chance to go. She had no idea what was needed.
Xu Nuo motioned to Qiyue to bring pen and paper.
"The weather has been cold and gloomy these days. It will be very cold if you stay outdoors for a long time. Prepare some hand stoves and some braziers. You can also prepare some cloaks. You can choose the style. I'm afraid that the style chosen by Shopkeeper Liu is old-fashioned, ladies. I don’t like them all, so I can’t sell them at a good price.”
"You can't skip pastries and drinks, so just order from Heyuetang. You can send a message to shopkeeper Liu now. Prepare less for tomorrow. If the effect is good, we can increase the quantity later."
Xu Nuo said while writing down the required items and quantities on the paper.
The next day, Shopkeeper Liu placed the promised items for sale in an inconspicuous room in the corner.
This is a polo ground. He believes that the visitors are all playing ball and watching games. They can return to Bianjing on the same day after watching the game, so there won't be so much demand.
If necessary, I would also buy a polo with a nice style.
He prepared many polo balls and placed them in a conspicuous room. Six were sold yesterday. There are more people watching the game today, so the sales should be better.
When the game reached the middle of the game, shopkeeper Liu came to see the sales effect of these items. As he expected, three polo balls were sold in just half the game, so that more than ten could be sold in a day.
Then I walked to the room in the corner. Once I entered, I found that there was not a single item in the room.
He frowned and asked: "Where are the things?"
"Shopkeeper, they are all sold out. I will go to the warehouse to get some more now. Don't blame me." The young man looking after the store ran away quickly, leaving shopkeeper Liu looking at the empty room in disbelief.
There are many styles of things in this room, but I don't have much stock of each item, so I only put two or three on them.
But even if there were only a few on display, they were all sold out.
I didn’t expect these items to sell faster than polo balls!
That night, shopkeeper Liu asked Xu Nuo to come out to meet him.
"Boss Lu, your suggestion is very good. All the goods purchased early in the morning have been sold out today. How do you know these things will be popular?" Shopkeeper Liu sincerely asked Xu Nuo for advice.
Xu Nuo smiled. She couldn't tell her woman that she knew it would be cold standing outside all the time.
"It was by chance that I discovered that women also want to go to the polo ground. Most of them are to watch people, not to watch football matches. Then there must be time to buy and eat, and most women are afraid of the cold, so prepare some warm clothes. Things are always right.”
Shopkeeper Liu nodded in approval and filled the promised tea cup with tea.
"It's better that you are meticulous. I observed it for a while in the afternoon and found that ladies are indeed buying more of these items. Boss Lu, after looking at the polo ground's booking situation in the past two days and the previous one, I have a new idea that I need to discuss with you. one time."
"Say it." Xu Nuo picked up the tea cup, smelled the fragrance of tea, and said softly.
"I want to set up our own polo team at our polo ground. If there is only one team for the customer later, then our team can accompany us for training and competition. There is also a situation where the customer comes with two teams. If during the game, Someone was injured, resulting in an imbalance of personnel, and our polo team can just make up for it.”
Shopkeeper Liu said while observing Xu Nuo's reaction.
He had this idea yesterday. Although it could provide better services, cultivating a professional polo team would cost a lot of money. He was not sure whether Boss Lu would approve of this approach.
After hearing this, Xu Nuo's eyes lit up and he said directly, "This is a good idea. We can start working on it now. Having such a team will definitely improve the overall experience."
Now that there are venues and horses, we really need a professional competition team that can provide training. Xiao Yuan is a master in this field. If he were here, she would just let him be the coach and help her train a group of people.
But not only is he not here, he won't be back anytime soon.
So where would she find such a person?
People who are good at playing polo are basically the heirs of officials. How could these people be willing to help her? Even if they were willing to help her, it would be difficult for them to have time.
"What are you going to do?" Xu Nuo asked.
"I plan to recruit some team members from outside, young people who are good at equestrian skills. It is unlikely that these people will know polo. They basically need to learn polo from scratch, so someone is needed to teach polo."
"For those who teach polo, I am going to select a few people who are good at it from those who come to play and ask them to teach. If you teach for one day, you will get free Xixia horse riding three times or the venue will be free for half a day. Boss Lu, What do you think of this?"
