Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 33
It was rare for the Chu family to be lively. Early in the morning, Chu Nan had already started preparing for the banquet, and by noon, old friends came over one after another.

"It's rare, brother Ziyan has entered the official career now, and he still misses me and these old friends." Xue Nian sat behind his desk, and laughed with Ren Zhao at the next table.

"Maybe it will be useful for me and others." Ren Zhao held the wine cup, and he obviously took a longer view of this banquet. The friendship between merchants can be seen more as a group for warmth. Whoever is really capable Getting out of this circle, and even being willing to look back is a conscience, to take the initiative to invite someone to show your affection...you must have something to ask for!

Tian Yang glanced at Xue Nian, and suddenly smiled: "Brother Xue, how about a bet?"

"Don't gamble!" Xue Nian said almost instinctively. Tian Yang likes to gamble, and he is very good at gambling. Usually when he says he wants to gamble, he probably already has a [-]% chance of winning in his heart.

Looking at the dishes served like flowing water in front of him, Xue Nian suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that this banquet is not very delicious."

"Not necessarily." Ren Zhao looked at Xue Nian, shook his head and said, "Brother Ziyan's background is the same as ours. Although he has entered the official career, he may be rejected by others."

"You mean..."

"I didn't say anything, I just came here to reminisce about the past and have a meal." Ren Zhao raised the wine cup, looked at Xue Nian and smiled.

Xue Nian nodded, and was about to say something more, but seeing that Chu Nan had already arrived, he quickly got up and said with a smile, "Brother Ziyan, long time no see."

"That's right, it's been two months since you and I met last time, has brother Xue's cloth shop ever opened?" Chu Nan nodded with a smile.

"I've been planting mulberry recently, but the cloth farm...will wait for next year." Xue Nian said with a wry smile. He is in the silk business and has always wanted to go further. He has his own cloth farm, but unfortunately the cloth farms in Xuzhou are almost full. If you provide silk and other semi-finished products for others to collect, but you want to squeeze further into the city to directly trade in cloth, that is to compete with others for jobs, and the difficulty is so great that it makes people desperate.

If there is no opportunity, let alone next year, it may not be possible to open it in this life.

Xue Nian suddenly remembered that Chu Nan had told him that it was not wise to open Buzhuang, so he couldn't help asking, "Brother Ziyan, you once said in the past that it was difficult to open Buzhuang, but have you thought about it?"

"The largest cloth shop in Xuzhou is in the hands of the Mi family, and most of the cloth houses in other places are invited by the Mi family to join. If they want to open a cloth shop, the Mi family cannot avoid this hurdle." Chu Nan laughed and asked him to join. To make suggestions, without the historical framework, he can't explain why, but when it comes to these aspects, he sees them more clearly than anyone else. The position they are in is a very embarrassing position, and they can do it with peace of mind. It's okay to be a little rich, but it's as difficult as going to the sky if you want to go one step further.

Not only cloth, but industries closely related to people's livelihood, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, are almost all in the hands of families headed by the Mi family and the Chen family. If you talk about opening a small restaurant, they may not care about it. After all, they are doing high-end business. If it is opened, it will not affect others.

But there are only four or five businesses in a city like Buzhuang. If you open it, you will be stealing other people's jobs. How could you be allowed to open it?

Now that wars have been fought for years, the princes have divided their regimes, sometimes money is not easy to use, and many places have begun to use cloth as currency. Is this kind of business that small merchants like them can intervene?

Hearing this, Xue Nian looked a little ugly. They have cooperated with the Mi family. Basically, they send their silk to the Mi family, but that's all. Not to mention the Mi family, even those who are in charge of the Mi family will get customers. You are very polite.

In fact, everyone understands the truth, but no one wants to rely on others for the rest of their lives, and wants to go one step further, but the result is often a blow to the head.

Tian Yang was playing with a five baht coin, and the small copper coin was turning back and forth between his fingers. He looked at Chu Nan and said with a smile, "Brother Ziyan, do you have a way to crack it? Brother Xue is going to be exhausted this year because of this matter." Wealth."

Chu Nan shook his head: "You have to have the support of a noble person, otherwise it seems that you are only one step away, but it will be as difficult as reaching the sky."

Tian Yang nodded and didn't say any more.

He understands what a nobleman is. For example, Chen Gui is willing to give him a hand at this time. Even if he says a word, the Mi family is absolutely willing to give Xue Nian a chance.

But why do people say this for you?
The support of noble people is hard to come by. As a merchant, he believes in the exchange of benefits. Unfortunately, with their background, what benefits can they have for them to help you?Even people like Chen Gui and Mi Zhu are not even qualified to meet and say a word.

Chu Nan was not in a hurry, he began to use his insight talent to check everyone's abilities. Top figures like Lu Bu and Chen Gong could be noticed once they used their talents, but ordinary people couldn't.

It is impossible for most people like them to have awakening talents. Even if they do, most of them are actuarial talents like Uncle Rong. Obviously, the luck is not good, and the luck looks like it has been consumed a lot.

The others are about the same, a little taller than ordinary people, but not too high.

"Everyone, we haven't gathered like this for a long time. Today, I will prepare a little wine to drink with you. I hope you will be tolerant of the inconvenience." When the banquet started, Chu Nan raised his glass and apologized to everyone.

The people here are basically familiar with each other, and there are not too many rules when they get together, and everyone raised their glasses in return.

At this time, the banquet is basically a low table for one person, and the conversation with each other is also between the adjacent tables. Even if they are not celebrities, few people make loud noises at this time and talk across the table.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Xue Nian kept in mind what Chu Nan said before, and with the recent bad luck, often unlucky, he finally couldn't help but said: "Brother Ziyan, you invited me to come here today. , I'm afraid it's not just as simple as eating wine?"

"I am inviting you all for today's banquet. First, I would like to thank you for your help in the past. Although our lives are low, I still remember that when my father passed away, it was you who gave generously and helped me. I am very grateful." Chu Nan said with emotion, This is the memory of the predecessor. After the death of the father of the predecessor, there were relatives who wanted to bully the youth of the predecessor and took over the family property. It is well-meaning.

"Raul, brother Ziyan, why should you take it to heart?" Xue Nian said with emotion.

"People's hearts can only be seen when you are down." Chu Nan said with a smile: "I invite you to come here today. In addition to thanking you, I also want to repay this kindness."

When everyone heard the words, they suddenly lost their voices and looked at Chu Nan.

Chu Nan said with a smile: "I just joined the government office, but I managed to earn a good living. Although it is not rich, I don't dare to forget it. I just wonder if you are willing to follow me to make a living?"
