Birds of a feather flock together.
If these wealthy people can play together, they must have similar hobbies.
Chen Chengye likes ancient books, Lu Bo likes ancient furniture, and the other old men are similar in that they all like to collect antiques.
Words must be said to be ancient, and you have to go back eight generations to make friends. People who are not from aristocratic families cannot enter the circle.
This is not only a hobby, but also a nostalgia!
Zhou Yi Gong cupped his hands and said: "This is recorded in the ancestral fragments. It looks good, so I had it made."
"Not bad, very good!"
Lu Bo praised him repeatedly and felt that Zhou Yi's family background made him qualified to be friends with him.
Chen Chengye had a look on his face. In today's bullshit world, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. It's really satisfying to be able to find a wonderful person among the pitch-black smoke.
"Shopkeeper Sun is serving wine. I won't come home until I'm drunk!"
After saying that, he waved to the servants outside, and immediately carried the food box and spread out the dishes. According to the rules of the ancestors, the sixteen dishes for the small gathering must not be missing.
After three rounds of drinking.
"It's really Lihuabai brewed by ancient methods. It is said that it became famous before Daqian. It has such a mellow taste, it can't be compared today!"
The old man named Yang Chong said: "It's only one tael for a pot of wine. It's too cheap. I feel sorry for our status."
The rich people have been affected by the trend of the times, and their ancestors' foundations have suffered heavy losses. However, their ancestors have accumulated too much wealth.
Land and mines aside, the gold melons and silver balls buried in the cellar, as long as you don't do business, you won't be able to spend them all in ten lifetimes.
At the same time, he is squeezed out by emerging business families, unable to enter and looking down on emerging industries, so the only thing he can do in this life is to maintain the noble inheritance.
Zhou Yi said with a smile: "Mr. Yang thinks it's cheap. We can make a separate wine vat and brew it according to your taste. No one else can drink it no matter how much money they have!"
"Can this still happen?"
Yang Chong thought for a moment and realized that with the pear-white taste, the tavern must be famous far and wide. This independent wine vat was a symbol of status. He immediately took out a thousand taels of silver notes from his sleeve.
"Excuse me, Shopkeeper Sun!"
Chen Chengye and others were not as good at wine as Yang Chong, but they found it interesting and took out their banknotes and wrote them down in a jar.
Zhou Yi has been in seclusion for many years. Affected by scriptures and exercises, he has become closer to immortals and farther away from human beings. This time I came out of seclusion just to experience the world of mortals and restore my humanity, so I gave up my position of being the best in the world.
Since you are running a tavern, you should do your best and not just be a facade.
Write down everyone's taste in detail and agree to taste it in one month.
At this time.
A voice came into the tavern: "Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! The Mohist master has made a mechanical car that can walk without a horse..."
Zhou Yi was slightly startled when he heard this and waved to the newsboy.
"Buy a newspaper."
The newspaper boy was about ten years old, with a sallow complexion and thin skin, and his clothes were shabby. He took out the newspaper from the large strap on his body.
"Chenghui, Wuwen."
Zhou Yi saw that there was a black pattern on the newspaper, and took out a silver coin: "Twenty copies."
The newsboy beamed with joy and bowed repeatedly: "Thank you, shopkeeper, the shopkeeper will make a fortune!"
"interesting."
Zhou Yi pointed to the door and said, "I will set up a newspaper box here tomorrow and deliver twenty copies every day."
The newsboy was so excited that he knelt down and kowtowed, so Zhou Yi quickly helped him up and paid for tomorrow's newspaper in advance.
Return to the tavern.
Chen Chengye said: "Shopkeeper, give me one, and let's see if there are any carts in this world that don't require horse-drawn carriages!"
Zhou Yi smiled and did not explain. In the future, there will be cars flying in the sky and running underground, and four newspapers will be distributed.
Chen Jiye caught the eye of the front page headline at a glance. The pattern was blurry. After looking at the context, he realized it was a locomotive. It could move automatically by burning coal without being pulled by animals.
"It's a steam engine again! It's burning coal again!"
He slammed the newspaper on the table, and drank two glasses of wine with annoyance and regret before suppressing the anger in his heart.
Everyone here knows the reason. Back then, the Chen family had several coal mines near the capital, which were high-grade mines that were easy to mine. As a result, they exchanged thousands of acres of fertile land with the imperial court!
Lu Bo had suffered similar losses and snorted: "There is no Mohist family in this world. In order to promote the machine, Taizu somehow made up the name and hired a few carpenters to decorate it as heirs of the Mohist family!"
Chen Jiye disagreed and retorted: "If there is no Mohist school, is it really true that the immortals of Kunlun Mountain are teaching the Dharma?"
"Hmph! Taizu claimed to be a disciple of Kunlun and the younger brother of the former Taishi Emperor. He was not just trying to win over the old Qing people."
Lu Bo said: "The theory of immortality is false. As strong as Emperor Taishi, seeking immortality and asking for immortality will not lead to immortality. Now even Buddhism and Taoism have begun to modify the meaning of scriptures, emphasizing the meaning of scriptures and devaluing immortals and gods."
Chen Jiye insisted: "There are immortals in this world!"
"Are you talking about the dishes your ancestors stole from the immortals?"
Lu Bo sneered and said, "My Lu family tree goes back three to four thousand years. It has been an aristocratic family since before Daqian. The ancient books of our ancestors left behind in the family even say that there are immortals in the Lu family!"
"What is stolen? It was given by the immortal."
Chen Jiye's veins burst out with anger, his qi and blood circulated, and his body size soared by half a foot: "You, the Lu family, are landlords and rich people, you can have a damn fairy!"
Lu Bo is also not an easygoing person. He has mastered the Qi and Blood martial arts in his family. He rolls up his sleeves and wants to compete with Chen Jiye.
"Both guests, please calm down."
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yi quickly stepped forward to stop them and gently pressed on their shoulders: "It doesn't matter whether there are immortals in the world. This train, let's call it a train, will cause drastic changes in the world."
Chen and Lu only felt the majestic force, which forced them to sit down obediently, and they couldn't help but feel inexplicable horror in their hearts.
Yang Chong asked: "Shopkeeper Sun, do you have any opinions?"
Zhou Yi said: "The train is tireless and can run day and night just by burning coal. It is far more powerful than cattle and horses. Moreover, the powerful power of the steam engine brings a carrying capacity a hundred times that of a carriage and a horse..."
Chen Jiye ignored the shock and asked, "Doesn't that mean the racecourse is worthless?"
The dividends of the changing times were so huge that the old wealthy people only took a small amount of money and made a lot of gold and silver. For example, the Chen family's ancestral racecourse has become a major source of income for his family as business has developed and the demand for transportation capacity has increased.
Zhou Yi shook his head and said: "It won't be worthless, but it will be greatly reduced."
"That makes sense!"
Chen Jiye stood up in excitement, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper, for your advice. Chen has something to do at home. I'll visit you in a few days."
Lu Bo and others also stood up to leave. Although their family did not have a horse farm, they could take this opportunity to make a severe cut of the family that was slow to respond.
Zhou Yi put away the wine glasses, bowls and chopsticks, and when no one used the dust-cleaning technique, they were immediately as clean as new.
"There are few customers now, but we can still keep busy. In the future, we must recruit people. In addition to cooks, we must also have waiters!"
…
Half a month passed.
Lihua Bai became famous in the neighborhood. Since the store did not serve food, many customers bought wine and went to eat elsewhere.
This day.
Zhou Yi came to the tavern early in the morning, took out the newspaper from the newspaper box, and found that there was a familiar name on the front page.
——Dean Lu of Zhaowenyuan, publicly declared that "trains" will replace livestock and horse farms will become worthless!
"These wealthy people may look old-fashioned and old-fashioned, but in fact they are more receptive to new things than ordinary people. They are all as smart as monkeys. The court has not yet sold the trains to the outside world, so they first bought soft articles and shorted the racecourse..."
