Chapter 206 Year-end

8days ago traverse Novels 7
As the end of the year approaches, chaos is over, and Yangzhou Prefecture is still prosperous.

Although the eight salt merchants fell down four at a time, the land should have shaken and affected countless people.

However, because the Qi family took action and led the other three companies to assist the Salt Courtyard Office to take over the salt affairs of the four companies, although there were some turmoil in the market, it was still a peaceful and prosperous era in general.

Not only that, these four salt merchants also ate pies that fell from the sky, even if it was only temporary, but being able to eat such a golden river and silver sea for a day is enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for ten lifetimes.

It was the end of the year again, so the four families of Qi, Chen, Li and Peng spent a lot of money, which led to the benefits of all businessmen in Yangzhou City.

Even the coolies on the dock also spent a fat New Year.

A prosperous scene.

North of Dongguan Street, Sanwei Bookstore.

This place has been bought by Jia Qianghua for 3,000 taels of silver. Not only that, Yu Dezhi, the former owner of Sanwei Bookstore, has also been hired by Jia Qiang to become a manager.

His stupid son Yu Rui was also rescued by Jia Qiang. After the previous difficulties, he grew up a little and was willing to stay in the bookstore to help.

Qi Yun and Xu Zhen watched Jia Qiang use a very standard attitude of respect and politeness, talk to Yu Dezhi and his son for a long time, and handed him a scroll of manuscripts, both of them became quite interested.

After Jia Qiang finished his work, Qi Yun looked at Jia Qiang and smiled and said: Liangchen, what kind of immortal game are you setting up?

Jia Qiang frowned and said: Let’s set up a ghost game!I have many sisters in my family and I was bored and wrote this story together. I bought this bookstore and prepared to print it into a book, which is also another type of history.How about it, should we do this together?There are sisters in your family...

Hearing this, Qi Yun and Xu Zhen both looked speechless.

The four words "Sisters in the Family" are really far away for the two of them.

Those things are not without, but it is better not to have them...

However, Xu Zhen asked again with a tsk voice: Second Master, you have selected the Sixi Tower's Sixi team and asked them to arrange a new show and prepare to start the New Year. Could it be for the sake of the sisters in the family?

Seeing his winking look, Jia Qiang was too lazy to pay attention to it.

This bastard wanted to invite him to the pleasure boat every few days, and Qi Yun invited him twice, but after they were rejected, the two turtle and charming rabbits came to eat the mat.

Before they could speak, Jia Qiang took the initiative to knock him down to the ground and drove away the rabbit.

Only then did they realize that Jia Qiang was really clean.

However, when Qi Yun's little grandmother and third sister returned home from the Yanyuan Yamen, they described the appearance of the eldest daughter of the Lin family and the Xue family cousin as if they were rarely found in the sky and underground. After the real beauty of the world, Qi Yun and Xu Zhen thought they understood Jia Qiang's thoughts...

At this point, the matter between the bookstore and the theater was put aside.

Not much benefit...

Jia Qiang smiled in his heart when he saw that the two of them no longer bothered this festival.

Everything else is easy to say. Even if you make a lot of money, you can join forces. How can you make all the gold and silver by one person?

only……

There is no way outsiders can interfere in the matter of publicity.

He had never thought about making money in this regard.

Even for a long time, I could only use a lot of money to subsidize it for mergers and expansion...

But it is related to the right to speak, and there is no way tolerate a second voice!

……

The three of them walked to Dongguan Street with their escorts and did not ride horses or car.

Looking at the door of the ice room where the door was still deserted, Jia Qiang was not surprised. He tightened the collar of the fox fur and said to Qi Yun: Zhou Ji... No, now he should be called Qi Ji Wanxiang Tower. Are you ready?

Of course, the business of the eight major salt merchants will not be just a single salt industry.

In addition to the salt industry, each company has other industries.

For example, the Bai family's theater, the Chen family's pawnshop, the Shen family's car shop, the Wu family's shipyard, and the Zhou family's restaurants are now mostly swallowed by the other four families. Of course, they have to pay a large sum of silver to the Salt Courtyard!

But for salt merchants, silver is the least valuable thing they have.

The Wanxianglou of the Zhou family is quite famous in Yangzhou City and even in Jinling, Suzhou, Zhenjiang and other places.

The Jiangnan flavor is extremely authentic.

Now that the Zhou family is in ruins, the Wanxianglou property has been bought by the Qi family.

However, there is Jia Qiang's stock in the middle.

Of course, Jia Qiang did not have cash in. Although the Zhao family brought 50,000 taels of silver to buy the order, he still had great use of these silver and could not be used here.

Therefore, he borrowed 80,000 taels of silver from the Qi family by writing an IOU, and added a secret recipe for famous dishes in the world, accounting for 50% of the shares.

Although they do not participate in business management, they are qualified to supervise.

As for what famous dish...

Then Qi Yun hesitated and said: Liangchen, your dish is really feasible?

Jia Qiang smiled and said: It turns out that I am not very sure, but after arriving in Yangzhou, I realized that I had taken it for granted before.You are too rich here and are tired of eating sweet and delicious delicious dishes. Many people have to seek some excitement when they have nothing to do. This dish will definitely be very popular.

People from Yangzhou, as long as they are surrounded by salt merchants, even if they are ordinary servants, they can live their lives until they are envied by countless white-collar elites in Jia Qiang’s previous life.

These people have to do nothing to the limit. They live their lives, claiming to be covered in water during the day and at night.

What is the solution?

It’s just a day, spending it in teahouses and bathhouses, either drinking tea or taking a bath.

Although rich, it is extremely boring.

In this kind of life, giving them some excitement will most likely be very popular.

Yangzhou cuisine belongs to Huaiyang cuisine, which emphasizes harmony, essence, clearness and freshness. The dishes are exquisite in shape and mellow in taste.

When cooking, you should make good use of heat and pay attention to fire. The raw materials are mostly aquatic products, pay attention to freshness, calm taste, freshness and slightly sweetness.

It is logical that the spicy and exciting dishes have no place to establish a foothold in Yangzhou Prefecture, but Jia Qiang thought that there was one thing that the people of Yangzhou Prefecture would like, especially in this cold winter day.

That's hot pot!

Qi Yun has no confidence in hot pot because he has too high spiritual cultivation and always restrains himself.

Qi Taizhong's heirs trained by him for more than ten years can control the restlessness in his heart and will not seek excitement in a impetuous manner.

But for most people, eating grains and cereals will make you feel the various aspects of life. No matter how happy, excited, depressed, annoyed, or bored, at this time, what else can express the energy in your heart better than a pot of hot pot?

In addition to the hot and hot hot pot, I will have a bowl of sweet ice to enjoy the joy of both ice and fire. Who wouldn’t love it?

By then, the ice room business will be brought up.

Xu Zhen agreed with this and said happily to Qi Yun: Brother Qi, if you don’t have confidence, why would you give the Qi family to me the Wanxianglou?I think it's true, I'll work with Erye, how about it?

Go! Go! Go.

Qi Yun said angrily: What did you do long ago?If you want to win Wanxianglou, you have to pay the silver plate.

The Qi family made Jia Qiang make money because there was greater interests mixed in it.

Xu Zhen's head was in full swing, and he rushed to join in the fun. He didn't have this decency and value...

After driving Xu Zhen away, Qi Yun asked Jia Qiang: Tonight I invited all the decent young people in Yangzhou Prefecture to hold a big banquet in Wanxianglou.Children of the high school, celebrities, young heroes in the martial arts world, and the courtesans on the top ten painting boats in the West Lake, let’s enjoy your hot pot banquet together.Good minister, do you really not show your head?

Jia Qiang shook his head and smiled: I am introverted by nature and don’t like to interact with too many strangers.

Qi Yun: ...

After a pause, he saw that Jia Qiang had not changed his expression, so he had to ask Xu Zhen helplessly: Where are you?

Xu Zhen blew up and said with a smile: Forget it, I won’t show up tonight.Tonight is the place for your eldest son of Qi family. I'm just a little follower when I go there. You don't know how to share my life. I'll just be with you for nothing!

Qi Yun had the intention to support this kid. Although the Xu family is a local rural area in Yangzhou, compared with the Qi family, it is actually worse than the grass chicken.

The Supreme Emperor visited six southern tours, and the old master Qi witnessed all the way and returned to see the emperor. How honorable is he?

Xu family...

The Xu family has never had the qualifications to meet the emperor once.

Now, given that this kid is valued by Jia Qiang, he wants to lead him to expand his connections, but he doesn't expect that he is ungrateful!

Qi Yun was too lazy to take care of him anymore, and he only cooperated with this kid in the ice room.

After Qi Yun said goodbye and left, Jia Qiang looked at Xu Zhen who was still happy and said with a smile: He looked ignorant of his virtue!Young Master Qi wants to support you, but you are so blind to see you?

Xu Zhen smiled so much and said lazily: This person is most afraid of being half-hearted.Since I, Xu Ershao, have agreed to join you, Jia Ershao, who came from the capital, I will no longer go to cling to his eldest son Qi.

Jia Qiang paused when he heard this, looked at Xu Zhen, and said with a smile: What is the essence of me, Second Young Master Jia, you don’t know?Compared with Master Qi, my path is not stable and has much greater risks.Moreover, the future is uncertain.What is the reason why you want to go far and to give up wealth and honor to be unstable?

The laughter on Xu Zhen's face gradually closed, and he looked at Jia Qiang and said: Second Master, if you want to be safe, I, Xu Zhen, guard the ice cellar of the Xu family, or do some other business at will, how can I not live a rich life for the rest of my life?What I value is the uneasiness of the second master and the way he takes is not the ordinary merchants.Although I have not seen clearly which path Second Master wants to take so far, Xu Er is sure that Second Master’s path must be the most unusual and strange path!The top old fox like the old master of the Qi family bet on you, Second Master, how could I, Xu Er, leave the real Buddha and not follow a little fox?

Jia Qiang smiled when she heard this, but without saying anything, he patted Xu Zhen on the shoulder, then turned around and left.

Gao Long and Shang Zhuo each brought four men who were not good-looking but had a faint sense of tigers and leopards, and protected each of them and left.

Looking at the backs of the group, a unruly smile gradually appeared on Xu Zhen's face.

Follow the family?

Following the Qi family, no matter how great it is, it is to achieve the level of Bai, Chen, Zhou and Wu families.

But what?

Isn’t it that the Qi family sells it just by saying that?

The Qi family was able to overcome the difficulties this time, and they relied on sacrifice to these four followers.

Anyone who likes to follow someone like this, Xu Zhongluan dares not follow him anyway!

And Jia Qiang... Although it seems that the future is unknown, would a person who can stir up the ups and downs of Beijing and Yangzhou be a mediocre person?

For the sake of a big fool in the Xue family, he would be at ease to follow Ah if he dared to directly dispose of the head of the Qi family.

……

Yanyuan Yamen, West Road Courtyard.

Houlexuan.

Aunt Mei, Xiuzhu, Zijuan, Xueyan and Xiangling, arranged bowls and chopsticks next to a round table.

On the other side, Daiyu, Baoqin, newcomer Vivian and her shy cousin Catherine were chatting happily together.

Needless to say, Vivian and Catherine talked about a lot of rural styles outside of the big ones.

Baoqin actually followed and talked about many interesting places in various provinces.

Daiyu, who had listened to it for a long time, was about to say something when everyone saw Jia Qiang wearing a snow fox-edged green and red-twisted golden lynx skin buckle slowly smiling, with a handsome and handsome man, like a zhi orchid and jade tree, dazzling.

Vivian was the most enthusiastic and stood up at once, but still remembered Catherine and pulled her sister forward to greet her and say hello.

It seems that she also knows that it is a bit shocking to show the gifts of the elders.

Baoqin also stood up with a smile and called out: Brother Qiang.

Only Daiyu's eyes gradually became unkind from surprise. She watched someone slowly nod and sighed, as if she had quietly recorded a stroke in her heart...
