The Landlord And His Wife - Chapter 115
It usually takes three or four hours to leave the house.
‘s mouth.
The city could be seen from a distance, and Shicheng told them about some major events in Hanzhong Mansion. It belongs to Daming City Defense. Although Hanzhong Palace is relatively close to the hinterland, it is not as strong as Guyuan City and Ningxia City, but Hanzhong City also has eight city gates, which stand majestically from a distance.
At the gate of the city, Liu Lin and Liu Xuer looked up and smacked their tongues. This is the real big city! The gate tower is eight feet high, which is probably what I see now.
“Hanzhong mansion is said to have many famous people from ancient times to the present, but I know that there is Baosi, the favorite concubine of Zhou You, who is from Hanzhong mansion.” Shi Cheng said.
Liu Lin laughed: “Why don’t you look serious.”
“How is this not serious, I also know it by accident, it’s not what book I read…” He rubbed his nose and looked at Catkins.
Liu Xuer just looked around, the carriage walked in from the city gate, and then she felt how big the city gate was! Such a large carriage, walking in the city gate, seems to have become smaller. There are several carriages and countless pedestrians walking in and out side by side.
“This place… Although I haven’t been to Jiangnan, I really don’t think it’s worse than Jiangnan.” Liu Xuer said.
Shicheng nodded: “If you talk about the entire jurisdiction of Hanzhong Prefecture, it is incomparable, but if you only take out Hanzhong Prefecture City, those cities in the south of the Yangtze River, you can compare it to only a few. After all, Hanzhong Mansion is still an important town in the northwest… Although it belongs to the northwest, it is located in the southwest, and there is also the Qinling Mountains, so its geographical location is important.”
Liu Xuer nodded: “I heard there is a palace here?”
“Yes, King Rui’s fief is in Hanzhong, and his mansion is in the city. It is very spacious and occupies several streets. The trade here is also developed, and the south is expensive. , Chuan, to the east is the hinterland of the Central Plains, from here to the Central Plains, the water and land routes are smooth.”
Liu Lin asked: “Shicheng, your family used to live on that street? Do you have a shop here now?”
Shi Cheng smiled and shook his head: “Where did I live in the past, how can I remember when I was so young…” As he spoke, he turned his face and made a face at Liu Xuer, then turned his head and continued to say seriously: “The shop is also I’m looking at it, but I haven’t found it yet. My father is picky and wants a good street shop, but in a place like this, an inch of land is worth a lot of money, and a shop in a good location, as long as it shows a little bit of wanting to sell and want to rent out, how many People are robbing! There is no way to get in, no news! How can I get the shop? Our family has been walking for a long time, and we don’t know a few people on the street, so we are still watching.”
Liu Xuer nodded: “Yeah, it’s not easy.” Immediately thinking about her own business, it was originally a two-handed plan. If there are good shops, the location is good and the price is fair, then Just open a shop here, but if it is not easy to manage and the price is really unbearable, then look for it and supply it to shops that also do embroidery groceries.
Shi Cheng also knew what she was thinking, and said: “We still find a good shop, it is not easy, if you find a shop that manages your small items, it is naturally even more difficult, but I I think it’s best to find a store to run it yourself. You are also experienced. In the store in Fengxian, my things are the goods that come in. You can see that compared with one of your counters, you earn more than you. It’s less than half of the money. This is because I have too many hands. I can’t make much money. Naturally, the price for the supplier is lower, and they naturally earn less. But if you run a business like you, there are not many in the middle. If you change hands, you will earn all the money, and you will naturally earn more.”
Liu Xuer nodded: “I also know, of course I tend to do this, but looking at this city… I really don’t know if it can be managed.”
It is said that it is great to think that the money was not earned before! If you lose, you will lose. This is still the truth now.”
Shicheng smiled and nodded: “Yes.”
Liu Xuer said: “Well, let’s take a look at the market first, our embroidery market, and the price of renting shops… By the way, Shicheng, your family is doing business here. what business?”
“The restaurant is definitely going to open. This is my father’s fortune. As for the jewelry store, let’s take a look.”
Liu Xuer knew that Shi Cheng’s father was young and vigorous before, and he offended the official in his business, and was forced to end the business here and go back, so this time he came out again, of course, he was a lot more cautious .
Liu Lin asked curiously: “By the way, Shicheng, why is your family’s business so different? It doesn’t match up at all? Your father started out as a restaurant? Then why did you do it again? Jewelry business?”
Shi Cheng smiled and said: “My father started his business from tea. He first went to the southernmost side to sell tea to Jiangnan, and then sold the tea from Jiangnan to Shandong. Anyway, he ran everywhere, then When I was still very young, and later became a relative, I decided to open a teahouse in Hanzhong Mansion, and from a teahouse to a restaurant, I made a fortune. As for the jewelry business, it was because when the restaurant business was at its peak, I had spare money on hand. A lot. At that time, there happened to be a man who was doing business in Jiangnan when he was young. His jewelry business could not go on, and he wanted to go back to his hometown. My father sold his jewelry shop and ran it like that. “
Liu Lin nodded suddenly.
“Your father in Hanzhong Mansion should be very familiar with you, why did you ask you to visit this market?” Liu Xuer said, “Don’t you do it for…then why help me…”
Shi Cheng shook his head hurriedly: “No no no, this is really not, I should have come a long time ago, but it’s because you were late for a while… My father is really familiar here, but don’t forget It’s been ten years since then. I came here a few times last year, and I came here. There are new stores opening and old ones closing on the street of this restaurant. I should have seen more. There are also restaurant business and Others are different, the renovation is very fast, and many restaurants are popular for a while, maybe because of one or two kinds of dishes, so you need to know what kind of dishes can be used as signature dishes to support the business of a restaurant… This is something you need to know at any time. “
Liu Xuer nodded.
Liu Sen asked suddenly and clearly: “Brother Shicheng, did you just come here to eat in the restaurants? We’ll have a good time following you?”
Liu Lin and Shi Cheng laughed hahaha, Shi Cheng nodded and said with a smile: “Yes, you will eat hard then!”
Liu Xuer also smiled at him: “Other times you look silly, but this time you are suddenly very clever!”
“This is called Dazhiruoyu?” Liu Sen said with a smile.
Liu Lin and Shi Cheng laughed and fell back in the car, Liu Xuer smiled: “Ah, you are really welcome to praise yourself!”
Liu Sen laughed.
Smiling, the carriage has already arrived at the door of the family Shicheng knew, which is also the door of a big mansion. People took it in, and after a while they came to see the door and invited them in.
They have already prepared a yard to live in. The old woman came to settle them, and Shicheng and Liu Lin went over to say hello to the master. This family was originally known by Shi Qian when he was in business, and has always been in touch. It’s just that a few children came here this time, and they didn’t come to entertain them in person. Only when Shicheng passed by, the host brought his son to see him, talked for a while, and asked how Shicheng’s parents were doing. After a while, let them live here as they please.
Shicheng also wanted to be casual, and told them that he might go out every day these few days, and he would not come here often, and the owner of the house naturally nodded.
Back from the front yard, the accommodation here has been arranged, Liu Xuer lives in the east wing alone, and the three of them live in the west wing, and dinner is also brought by the old lady in the house. .
The second day after arriving here, everyone took to the streets.
Because I want to see the market today, this place is completely different from Fengxian, so this time, everyone brought out their better clothes, and put them on in the morning, so as not to be small Look, you can’t even get in the door of other people’s shops.
Little catkins is wearing a lotus-colored white plum-trimmed jacket, a honey-colored cotton skirt, and a purple-red sash tied around the skirt, and a red embroidered golden silk fragrant chrysanthemum bag hanging on it .
Liu Lin Liu Sen wears plain jacket robes, and Shi Cheng wears a satin robe. A few people followed the servant of the Shicheng family. Even if he didn’t seem to be the son of a big family, he was a young master from a good family.
Several people came out of the mansion gate and followed Shicheng down the street. The entire Hanzhong Mansion is very big. If you want to visit all the streets, you can’t finish it in one day. Today, they are going west. The streets here are dense and the most prosperous place. Let’s take a look at the situation here. how.
In business, the more people standing at the door, it can be seen from here that the competition is very fierce.
Liu Xuer’s eyes lit up, this street is where they want to see!
