"Come on, let's eat."

Qin Jing opened his mouth, and Su Zijin and the others followed. They didn't give the master and servant a look, but they didn't hinder them. The two of them followed behind the four of them and arrived at the restaurant together.

"Xiaoer, serve all your signature dishes here!"

The maid, Xiaoqing, spoke hastily, before Su Zijin and the others spoke first.

"Okay, wait a moment, two guest officers, I will serve you right away! There is a grand slam in the class!"

Xiao Er's loud yelling sounded, making everyone in the lobby look sideways.

This Yuelai restaurant focuses on affordable prices, so when the meal time approaches, the people who eat in the lobby are all nearby workers. At this moment, everyone turns their heads to look at this rich man who has come to Yuelai restaurant, with interest in their eyes.

There are two masters and servants, Xiaoqing, who thought he was in the limelight, raised his chin, and waited for Xiao Er to serve the food.

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

After a while, the meals for Xiaoqing's master and servant came up, a large table of meat, vegetables, and a large pot of rice, which made the master and servant dumbfounded.

When it came to water transport, Cheng Mingliang didn't know what to think of. He was not as excited as before, and he pondered for a long time before finally saying, "Try it and you'll know."

There were spectators around, and seeing the expressions of the two, they laughed out of contentment.

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

Su Zijin bought a jar of salt at a grocery store, and asked the shopkeeper while buying it.

Everyone just smiled and didn't speak, but Cheng Mingliang became more and more excited as he talked, "This boat of salt is worth thousands of 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, let me say, they should really go out like us, look, isn’t there a way?”

Cheng Mingliang nodded hesitantly, "Okay, what you say is just speculation, let's really try it!"

Cheng Mingliang said, and quickly explained, "I'm not saying Brother Cui is not good, but I think Brother Cui will be an official. No, I mean, we have a lot of things here, and there are still some teachers who serve as officials and have experienced assistants. Easier."

Seeing that Su Zijin just smiled and didn't speak, Guo Yixing thought for a while and said, "It is said that water transportation is muddy water. If you want to do this business, you should try the water first. We will follow you to see how it is."

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

When they go out for the first time, they have a lot of thoughts.Cui Lingchuan was different from them.They are from honorable backgrounds, and their families are all from the military. Unlike Cui Lingchuan, their family members are all masters who have taken refuge in various places. It is not certain whether they have the kind of talent they are talking about, but all kinds of common sense in the officialdom. Cui Lingchuan's going out to be an official has helped a lot.

After lunch, Su Zijin and the others walked out of Yuelai Restaurant, and Xiaoqing's master and servant had long since disappeared.Maybe because I felt ashamed, I didn't follow a few more people, right?
"Shopkeeper, there seem to be many places selling salt here, and I saw a salt shop just now."

Su Zijin ate his food quietly. In the afternoon, they still had to go shopping, which was a lot of physical work.

"Could it be that the wind in the south of the Yangtze River is full of money? Can't the shops in the north be opened?"

"After all, it is a family of officials and officials. They know more than us and can see clearly. Maybe they will be promoted quickly in the future. We are all big bosses, so we just lead the soldiers. We specialize in art."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Mingliang felt a little emotional, "It's really not easy to do something. I heard that Brother Cui Lingchuan went out to serve as an official, and his family has prepared more than ten masters and assistants for him, all of whom are old people who have accumulated many years." He is very experienced. So I heard that Brother Cui is very happy in office. He not only takes in beauties as company, but also recites poems with talented scholars in office all day long. Brother Cui will be promoted and transferred to the capital."

Back at the inn, a few people took advantage of the coolness of the evening in the covered yard, talking about today's experience while eating.

Guo Yixing was unskillfully pushing the wheelbarrow, Cheng Mingliang was supporting him, and excitedly told everyone about his grand plan, "The salt in Xuzhou is really cheap! It's three pennies cheaper than the one in Kyoto! If we buy a whole boat, probably It can be much cheaper, so we might as well buy a boatful of salt when we go back, so that not only will we earn back the cost of the journey, we may even have a surplus!"

At the end of their shopping, they simply hired a car and bought a stone of salt.

Qin Jing pondered, and Su Zijin looked at Cheng Mingliang, "Since you don't understand, let's practice it. Let's open a shop here, and then let people go to Surabaya to open a shop. When we return, we will look at two shops." How much profit, don’t you know?”

Su Zijin and the others nodded.Even in Kyoto, there is a threshold for selling salt. This has led to the fact that there are only a few shops selling salt in the big Kyoto. Right now, Liuxian is better than other places. Salt itself is a daily necessities. , so that you can buy it within a few steps, which is much more convenient.

Seeing that the shopkeepers were dressed in extraordinary clothes, the shopkeeper was happy to gossip with them, "I don't know, there are ten big salt merchants in Xuzhou. These salt merchants all have their own salt roads. Among them, the Shen family's salt road is in the We are local in Xuzhou. The salt shops you saw were all run by the Shen family. We stayed in a small area in the county, so we only opened three. Salt shops are treated equally, the more you buy, the cheaper it is. There are also goods. Small merchants like us could not sell salt in the past because they had no capital. Now there are salt shops, as long as we buy a stone of salt, they will give us three pennies cheaper, so we bought a stone and put it in our grocery store Sell ​​it, and give convenience to those who buy less."

Seeing that everyone just laughed and didn't make a sound, Cheng Mingliang pulled people around with some confusion, "Hey, Brother Guo, Su Canling, how about you, too? Let's do it together? One boat costs 1000 taels, find a few more boats, Let's go!"

Everyone in Su Zijin didn't say much, they only found out after trying it, and they would naturally know when they returned.

Cheng Mingliang said with some puzzlement.

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

"There are more than ten times more shops in Liu County than in Surabaya. The two cities are adjacent to each other, but the gap is so far. I don't know why."

Guo Yixing said with a wry smile.

"Oh, I said, what is Brother Cui doing? We just came out, and it's normal to have a lot of clues. Maybe we will see a lot in the future, and have more experience than Brother Cui. When we get older, everyone will be in the capital, then At that time, Big Brother Cui was no match for us, he never had the chance to go out and travel when he was young!"

Cheng Mingliang said loudly.

After hearing this, Guo Yixing rejoiced, raised his glass and looked at the crowd, "Fourth Prince, Su Canling, Mingliang, let's have a drink. Celebrate our trip out of Beijing!"

Su Zijin and Qin Jing looked at each other and toasted together.
