At dawn.
Xie Fan opened his eyes and saw Zhu Ran with a slumped face, "How is it?"
"I tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen to me!"
Xie Fan had already expected it and ordered to set off.
Zhu Ran drove the carriage and was distracted along the way, "Master, do you think Zhan Tang will be in danger?"
"It's not a big deal, it just depends on whether the official is making things difficult! When we come back, let's go to Shakou again!"
The few people didn't stop, and finally arrived at Liulin before dark.
Outside the gate of Liulin City, there was a constant flow of people, making it very lively.
There are more than a dozen soldiers guarding the city, and they are more impressive than elsewhere.
Xie Fan entered the city. There were many stalls on the streets and people were coming and going in the shops.
If you open a store here, there will definitely be fun!
After finding an inn, Xie Fan took Zhu Ran onto the street.
The quality of the things here is much better than what Dong Zhong bought.
He visited several cloth shops, inquired about the prices, and finally returned to "Li Ji Cloth Shop".
"Brother, call the shopkeeper here. Our young master wants to negotiate a big deal with you!"
After a while, a man wearing a melon-skin hat welcomed Xie Fan into the back hall, "What do you call the young master? I don't know, what kind of business are you going to discuss?"
Xie Fan sat down, "Xie Fan, of course it's the cloth business!"
"May I ask Mr. Xie, how much cloth should I buy?"
"How much do you think is a big deal?"
The man stood up straight and gestured domineeringly, "An ordinary woman would need dozens of taels of silver to buy whatever she wants."
Xie Fan cleared his throat, "If the negotiation goes well, a few thousand taels of silver will be a small business."
The man's expression immediately became respectful, "Thank you, Mr. Tong, my surname is Tong, please wait a moment! I'll prepare some tea!"
Zhu Ran stood aside, listening to the young master's words, feeling a little carried away.
Shopkeeper Tong brought two cups of tea, one for Xie Fan and one for Zhu Ran.
This is very particular. Xie Fan's tea is top quality, while Zhu Ran's is ordinary.
Xie Fan took a sip and said, "This tea is good!"
"Sir, this is the new tea served this year, the authentic East Lake Longjing!" Shopkeeper Tong flattered, with a smile on his face.
Xie Fan responded casually, not wanting to appear too shabby, "Shopkeeper Tong, the size of your business depends on how you calculate the price!"
"Sir, I would like to ask, do you want so much cloth?"
"Don't worry, it won't affect your business here!"
Shopkeeper Tong stretched out a hand and gritted his teeth, "If it's more than a thousand taels, I'll give you a 95% discount!"
Xie Fan stood up and walked towards the door.
Shopkeeper Tong hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Master, don't worry, it's easy to discuss! If so, I'll give you a 10% discount!"
Xie Fan pushed him away, "I think those ladies who come to buy cloth can get a 20% discount, right?"
Shopkeeper Tong tried his best to pull Xie Fan back to his seat, "How can I get a 20% discount? Young Master is joking! In this case, I will give you a 20% discount! This time, it's okay, right?"
Xie Fan picked up the tea and drank every drop. "If you can't make the decision, find someone who can make the decision!"
Shopkeeper Tong was grinding back and forth, making people dizzy.
"Shopkeeper Tong, it's getting late, let's go back first!"
"In this case, if you come back tomorrow, I will definitely give you an explanation!"
Xie Fan didn't stop for a moment and went out directly.
Zhu Ran froze on the spot and quickly drank the tea.
Shopkeeper Tong grabbed Zhu Ran and stuffed him with some cloth samples, "Please give me some advice for tomorrow. This cloth is enough to make a full set of clothes!"
After walking a few more streets, Xie Fan saw a busy pavilion.
The plaque says "Yanchun Tower", it is an emotional place!
Xie Fan stepped forward and Zhu Ran reminded, "Master, money is being burned in this place!"
Xie Fan ignored her and bumped into a woman in purple clothes with a strong smell of rouge.
"Master, please come here. Is this your first time here? Whatever you like, it doesn't matter!"
Xie Fan saw that the woman here was wearing light clothes and heavy makeup. She was very enchanting, "This is five taels of silver, let's see how it is arranged!"
The woman took the money and placed Xie Fan in a room on the first floor.
After closing the door, the woman immediately changed her expression, "Fifty taels of silver, what can we arrange? Ziying, where did you go? Come greet the guests!"
A woman with dull eyes walked up to the woman and said, "Mom!"
The woman pulled off the woman's coat and said, "How can you see people with so much on? Take good care of this young master, get some reward, buy some rouge, and wipe your stinky face!"
The woman opened the door, bowed down cautiously, and knelt down at the table, "Sir, my name is Ziying."
Zhu Ran felt that the money was spent too quickly, so he angrily ordered, "Ziying, give me a smile!"
Xie Fan kicked Zhu Ran away, "Grandma's! Whose uncle are you? Go and wait outside!"
Zhu Ran left angrily. Outside the door, he looked at the sea of flowers flying and his mouth watered.
After the food and wine were served, Xie Fan took a few bites and said, "The food here is really not that good!"
Ziying filled the guests with wine and nodded emphatically, "Not many of them want to eat here!"
Xie Fan took a drink and said, "Girl, you are willing to tell the truth!"
Ziying sighed and sat down, "I think you are an ordinary person, so don't come to this place anymore!"
Xie Fan was stunned and looked at his clothes, which were indeed a bit shabby. But after all, he is also the head of the family, "Ziying, have you ever heard that people should not be judged by their appearance!"
"Okay, okay! You are the uncle! You are rich!" Ziying said perfunctorily, filling herself a glass, "Does this make you happier?"
Xie Fan found it funny and had a drink with the other party, "If you always tell the truth, will the business be good?"
Ziying hurriedly put on a smile and said, "Young master, when you drink, don't talk about these unhappy things! Isn't this just for happiness?"
The two of them were either eating or drinking. They drank all the wine and finished the dishes in a short time.
Xie Fan looked at the other person, his eyes still staring at the empty plate, "I said, how many days have you not eaten?"
Ziying smiled, "Who said I didn't eat? I just didn't eat much, I wasn't full!"
Xie Fan took out another five taels of silver and handed it to the other party, "Grandma's! Even if I prepare some more vegetables, I won't be full!"
Ziying's eyes widened, "Are you crazy? Are you going to eat at Yanchun Tower?"
Xie Fan put the money on the table, "Today, the two of us must eat enough!"
Ziying picked up the silver and was stunned for a second, "Two taels of silver is enough. Keep the rest!"
Xie Fan looked at the silver in his hand with some disbelief.
The two of them ate like crazy again and were very satisfied with their food.
"Ziying, are you okay? Do you want to do it again?"
Ziying lay on the table, her eyes lit up, and she smiled sweetly, "What's your surname, sir? You are really interesting!"
"I don't dare leave my name! What if you go out and talk nonsense?"
"Then I'll call you Young Master X!"
"Okay, I'm leaving. I'll reward you with these three taels of silver!"
"Just leave like that?"
"When you're full, let's go!"
