Chapter 98 Lively, Sister Zhou's Handwriting
next day
On the busiest street, a store with unique decoration is about to open.

For the day and bustling Hanwang feudal land, let alone a shop opened.

Even if ten stores open, it will not cause waves.

People passing by are at most just curious to see what is being sold, and then usually stop paying attention.

But the store opened today is different from the past.

The shop is located in the most prosperous location on the street.

Moreover, the signboard above was covered with a red cloth, so the name of the store could not be seen clearly.

At the entrance of the shops, there is also a lion dance team and a gong and drum team waiting for orders.

Just wait until the auspicious time and start dancing the lion head!
There are lanterns and colorful red cloth fluttering around, revealing a strong joy!
For thousands of years in China, it has always been the nature of the common people to love to watch the excitement.

If it is just a shop that has already opened, there will be no mystery.

Pedestrians passing by at most glanced at it and left.

But now there are firecrackers with ribbons and lion dances with drums and gongs, it's hard not to arouse curiosity.

Even modern people will be overwhelmed when they see a lion dance program, scrambling to watch the excitement.

What's more, what about Daming where life is boring?
Except for Chinese New Year and festivals, it is difficult to see lion dances at ordinary times.

Even before the store opened, it has already attracted the attention of countless passers-by.

However, although these passers-by were curious, no one approached them!

They all stood in the distance pointing and discussing in low voices.

No one dared to ask for money in the name of winning a lottery!

Although the fiefdom has gone through a three-year operation to clear the streets, no one has dared to openly make illegal actions on the streets.

And no matter where they are, they all have their own small circles.

Nobility, there are circles of nobility.

The humble merchants also have their circles.

Although these people are not of high status, they have money in their hands!

If you have money, you will naturally be able to open up relationships and make friends with powerful people.

Therefore, foreign merchants usually have the habit of visiting the wharf before opening a shop.

Otherwise, they will be subjected to all kinds of difficulties and suppression.

Even if they don't dare to take illegal actions on the surface, there are many ways to suppress it within the legal scope!

Although no greeting card has been submitted for this suddenly opened shop, it is definitely not an ordinary character who can open a shop at this location.

Even if you have any ideas, you should make a decision after finding out the details of the other party!
As time passed, more and more people gathered.

The crowd of onlookers surrounded the store tightly, waiting to watch the lion dance performance.

Many people who heard the news even came with their children!

The lively scene is like a festival!
On the terrace of a three-storey restaurant at the intersection, a man and a woman are looking down at the shops below.

The lively scene in front of me was naturally written by Zhou Shuyi.

With various professional teams behind us providing support 24 hours a day, it is so easy to fill a store with mystery!
The battle for the opening of the store below can be seen anywhere in modern times.

But in Daming, it is full of mystery and full of popularity!
Looking at the lively scene below, Zhu Ming felt a little emotional.

I found a sense of familiarity from watching the opening of a store in my previous life.

Although he believes that in terms of the products in the store, even if there is no opening ceremony, the business is still booming.

But seeing the woman next to her busy all night for the opening, let her be happy.

Da Da Da~
Li Zhongping, who was dressed as a shopkeeper, walked quickly to the front.

Respectfully said: "Your Highness, Wangfei, the auspicious time has come!"

Although he lowered his head, his eyes were full of excitement, and even his voice trembled slightly.

The opening of the store is also the starting point for his success!

Zhu Ming nodded slightly, but did not give an order.

Instead, he turned to look at the beautiful face next to him.

Laughing: "Your shop, you are the master!"

A few simple words, but absolute respect!
A warm feeling rose from the bottom of Zhou Shuyi's heart, and she nodded her head with a smile like a flower.

When he turned his head, the smile faded from his face.

Showing the majesty of the princess.

The voice said seriously: "Open!"

"Yes!"

Li Zhongping responded respectfully, and stepped back quickly.

quickly
clap clap ~!

A burst of firecrackers sounded throughout the street!

Bang Bang Bang~!

At the same time, the sound of gongs and drums and the lion dance team also danced happily.

The lively scene seems to be in the New Year.

The onlookers stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks to watch.

The children are too short, and they all ride on the shoulders of adults.

While watching with wide eyes, Yiyi doll's cheerful cry came out of her mouth.

From time to time, there are servants carrying trays and throwing sugar into the crowd!
Makes the kids laugh out loud!

The atmosphere at the scene was full of joy!
after a while
The firecrackers stopped, and the lion dance team stepped aside.

A middle-aged man in the clothes of a big shopkeeper walked up to the steps of the shop door.

Looking at the crowded passers-by, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

With his chin raised, he said in a high voice: "The salt store under 'Hanyi Commercial Bank' has officially opened!"

While speaking, he tore off the red cloth that covered him.

The four vigorous and powerful gilt characters of "Hanyi Commercial Bank" are displayed.

And a sign hanging on the side was also revealed.

There is a big word 'salt' written on the sign!

It means that this is one of the industries under the firm, and it specializes in salt!
The onlookers finally understood what this newly opened shop was selling.

Surprised expressions appeared on every face.

Even a few middle-aged businessmen in the crowd widened their eyes in surprise.

I was secretly glad that I didn't go looking for trouble.

Otherwise it will be really troublesome!
You know, Daming is not like the later generations, where any merchant can sell salt wholesale.

That is reselling private salt!

It is against the law!

Without a bit of background, can you get some salt?

Several men dressed as merchants frowned, not understanding why a predator suddenly broke into the fiefdom of the King of Han?

Those who can sell salt... just don't know which grand master of the government is behind it!
clang~!

Just when everyone was surprised, the crisp sound of gongs and drums drew everyone's attention back.

The closed door behind him also slowly opened.

Looking around, in the center of the shop hall, there is a wooden platform with a big bamboo basket on it.

It's full of snow-white table salt piled up like steeples!
Immediately, everyone was stunned.

"So, is that salt?"

"I have never seen such white table salt!"

"Is this a tribute?"

"It should be eaten by the elders, we bitter people can't afford it."

"Yes, I think it's at least one tael of silver per catty!"

"I heard that someone secretly sold it before, and a catty of salt cost five taels of silver!"

"Five taels?!"

"Can't afford it, can't afford it!"

"We can only eat two cents of silver salt on the market!"

"Oh, just look at it!"

Although they were far away, the onlookers could already see the snow-like refined salt in the middle.

When admiring the quality of the salt, he could only shake his head helplessly.

Is this quality of table salt affordable for them?
