"Let's go and eat."

Qin Jing opened his mouth, and Su Zijin and others followed him. They did not give the master and servant a look, but did not hinder them. They followed the four of them to the restaurant together.

"Waiter, bring up all the signature dishes here!"

The maid Xiaoqing spoke hurriedly, rushing ahead of Su Zijin and his party.

"Okay, two guests, please wait a moment and we'll serve you right away! There's a grand slam in the hall!"

The waiter's loud shouting sounded, making everyone in the lobby look at him with suspicion.

This Yuelai Restaurant specializes in affordable prices, so when the meal was approaching, the people eating in the lobby were all nearby workers. At this time, everyone turned to look at this guy who came to Yuelai Restaurant to show off his wealth, with interest in their eyes.

Xiaoqing, the master and the servant, thought they were in the limelight, raised their chins, and waited for the waiter to serve the dishes.

At Su Zijin's place, he looked around at other people's meals and saw that they were all large and affordable meals, so the four of them only ordered three dishes and asked the waiter to go.

After a while, Xiaoqing's master and servant's meals were served. There was a large table of meat, vegetables, and a large bowl full of rice, which made the master and servant dumbfounded.

Qin Jing pondered, and Su Zijin looked at Cheng Mingliang, "Since you don't understand, let's put it into practice. Let's open a shop here, and then let people go to Surabaya to open a shop as well. When we return, we will see two shops

Don’t you know how much profit you will make?”

"Does the wind in the south of the Yangtze River smell of money? Can't the shops in the north be opened?"

"There are more than ten times more shops in Liu County than in Surabaya. The two cities are adjacent, but there is such a huge gap. I don't know why."

Back at the inn, a few people were enjoying the coolness of the evening in the private courtyard, eating and talking about what they had seen today.

"After all, they are from a family of officials. They know more than us and can see clearly. Maybe they will be promoted faster in the future. We are all rough guys. We only lead troops. We have specializations in our professions."

Cheng Mingliang said, and then quickly explained, "I'm not saying that Brother Cui is not good, I just think that Brother Cui will be an official. No, no, I mean, we have a lot of things here, and we still have some teachers, assistants, and experienced assistants.

It’s easier.”

After speaking, Cheng Mingliang sighed with emotion, "It's really not easy to do something. I heard that Brother Cui Lingchuan went out to serve as an official, and his family prepared more than ten masters and assistants for him, all of whom are old people.

, very experienced. So I heard that Brother Cui was very happy during his tenure. Not only did he keep beauties as companions, but he also recited poems and competed with the talented people in his office all day long. I heard that after this autumn exam, if there are a few talented people,

Son, Brother Cui will be promoted and transferred to Kyoto."

Cheng Mingliang said with some confusion.

Seeing that Su Zijin only smiled and said nothing, Guo Yixing thought for a while and said, "They say water transportation is a muddy water. If you want to do this business, you should test the water first, and we will follow you to see how it goes."

Su Zijin and others didn't say much. They only knew it after trying it. They would naturally know it when they returned.

Su Zijin ate his own food quietly. In the afternoon, they had to continue shopping, which was physical work.

Cheng Mingliang nodded hesitantly, "Okay, everything you talk about is just speculation, let's give it a try!"

They were going out for the first time and had a lot of things to worry about. Cui Lingchuan was different from them. They were from noble backgrounds, and their families were all from the military. Unlike Cui Lingchuan, their family members were all the sons of masters who had taken refuge in various places.

, it’s not necessarily the kind of talent that I mentioned, but all kinds of common sense in officialdom gave Cui Lingchuan a lot of help when he went out to be an official.

Cheng Mingliang said, scratching his head, "I didn't mean anything else."

There were people watching the excitement around, and seeing the expressions on the two of them, they laughed out loud with satisfaction.

Cheng Mingliang looked at Su Zijin and Qin Jing and asked this question.

Guo Yixing pushed the wheelbarrow unskilledly, with Cheng Mingliang supporting him. He excitedly told everyone about his grand plan, "The salt in Xuzhou is really cheap! It's three cents cheaper than the one in Kyoto! If we buy a boat, it's estimated that

If it’s cheaper, let’s just buy a boatload of salt when we go back. In this way, not only will we make back the expenses we spent along the way, but we may even have a surplus!”

After lunch, Su Zijin and others walked out of Yuelai Restaurant. Xiaoqing and his servant had long since disappeared. Maybe they felt embarrassed and didn't follow them anymore?

"Seller, you seem to have a lot of places selling salt here. I just saw a salt shop."

The shopkeeper saw a few people dressed in extraordinary clothes, and was happy to chat with them, "You guys don't know, there are ten major salt merchants in Xuzhou. Each of these salt merchants has their own salt road. Among them, the Shen family's salt road is at

We are in Xuzhou. The salt shops you see are all opened by the Shen family. We stay in a small place in the county, so we only have three salt shops. The salt shops treat everyone equally. The more you buy, the cheaper it is. You can buy a penny or a boatload of them.

There are also goods. Small merchants like us couldn't sell salt in the past because we had no capital. Now there are salt shops. As long as we buy one stone salt, we will be given three cents cheaper, so we bought one stone and put it in our grocery store.

Sell ​​it to give convenience to those who have less to buy."

Everyone just smiled and said nothing, but Cheng Mingliang became more and more excited as he talked, "This boatload of salt is only a thousand taels. How about we start this business to earn some pocket money in the future? Hey, those people in Kyoto want to make money, one by one.

There is no way. If you ask me, they really should go out and wander around like us. Look, isn't there a way?"

After hearing Cheng Mingliang's words, Guo Yixing also became thoughtful.

Su Zijin and others nodded after hearing this. Even in Kyoto, selling salt requires a threshold. This means that in Kyoto, which is a big city, there are only a few shops selling salt. At present, here in Liu County, it is better than other shops.

The place is better. Salt itself is a daily necessities, so you can buy it within a few steps, which is a lot more convenient.

Su Zijin bought a can of salt in a grocery store and asked the shopkeeper while buying it.

After shopping all the way to the end, they hired a car and actually bought a piece of rock salt.

Seeing that everyone just laughed and said nothing, Cheng Mingliang pulled people in confusion, "Hey, Brother Guo, Su Shenling, what do you think, you guys also take a share? Let's do it together? One thousand taels per boat, find a few more boats

, let’s send it out!”

Speaking of water transportation, Cheng Mingliang didn't know what he thought of. He was no longer as excited as before. He pondered for a long time before finally speaking, "You will know after you try it."

Guo Yixing said with a wry smile.

"Oh, what am I talking about Brother Cui? We have just come out, and it is normal to have a lot of things. I don't think we will see more in the future, and we will see more than Brother Cui. When we get older, everyone will be in Kyoto, then

Brother Cui can't compare with us at that time, he won't have the opportunity to travel again when he was young!"

Cheng Mingliang said loudly.

After hearing this, Guo Yixing became cheerful again, raised his glass and looked at everyone, "Fourth Prince, Su Shenling, Mingliang, let's have a drink to celebrate our trip out of Beijing!"
