Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

The two of them drank for more than two hours, from noon until the sun set.

Long He had a good drinking capacity, but in the end he still crawled on the table and fell unconscious.

Li Lianpeng was also drunk.

However, he gets drunk quickly and sobers up quickly.

After Su Xiaoyong came in the afternoon, he shook his head and woke up.

After forcing the odor of alcohol out of his body with his internal strength, Li Lianpeng ordered Instructor Long's disciples to take good care of him, and then followed Su Xiaoyong back to Yangzhou City in the treasure-gathering golden chariot.

There was a banquet in the city tonight, and as the protagonist of the banquet, he naturally couldn't miss it.

The venue of this banquet is Mankouxiang Hotpot No. [-].

This is the first hot pot restaurant in Yangzhou City and has been expanded several times.

Nowadays, the business includes not only hot pot, but also banquet reception.

In scale, it is naturally comparable to the most luxurious restaurant in Yangzhou City, Jinyu Tower.

This Jinyu Restaurant is a restaurant opened by a relative of a high-ranking official in the imperial city. It only entertains high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and never entertains merchants with no status or background.

The people who go there are either rich or noble. They treat people from aristocratic families as if they were ancestors, but they are very unfriendly to ordinary businessmen.

To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of looking at the dishes.

Li Lianpeng once went to experience it out of curiosity, and he was brutally slaughtered that time. He was charged nearly 50 taels of silver for a bowl of ordinary bean curd soup.

Li Lianpeng exploded on the spot. He called the shopkeeper to the store angrily and argued with him. When he failed to argue, he beat the shopkeeper severely.

After the other party compensated him ten times, that is, 500 taels of silver, he calmed down and did not order the other party's entire restaurant.

Afterwards, the manager behind the restaurant came to apologize in person.

There is no way, Jin Yulou's background is very big, but his background is even bigger.

Compared with the ministers of the dynasty, especially the Minister of Finance, the God of Wealth of Daxi, no official in the imperial court dared to say that he could stabilize the situation.

If you are not careful, the other party can prevent you from getting your salary.

The salary is not much, but it is uncomfortable when other colleagues in the dynasty make things difficult for him.

Therefore, after the steward learned that Li Lianpeng had a good relationship with Fang Shangshu's family, he adopted the attitude of turning big problems into small ones and solved the problem smoothly.

Li Lianpeng was also magnanimous. When the other party had a bruised nose and face, and offered 500 taels with both hands, he just waved his hand and forgave him.

It was also that time that Li Lianpeng decided to let other businessmen with no status or background...or, in other words, ordinary status and background, have their own place to discuss business.

It's a high-end place with good service.

Thus, Mankou Xiangjiahao Store was born.

Under the respectful guidance of the clerk, Li Lianpeng came to the private room of this restaurant, which had been renovated several times and was already somewhat unfamiliar.

Everyone has been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Li Lianpeng and Su Xiaoyong coming hand in hand, they first expressed their thanks and then started to eat.

After eating the dinner for half an hour and having two drinks, the invited guests began to discuss it.

"I heard that there is a new oiran in the Imperial City. Her name is Wang Shishi or Zhang Shishi. This girl is both talented and beautiful, and she has a golden voice. Every time she opens her mouth, she can make those stingy men in the Imperial City pluck their feathers. Empty your wallet.”

"so smart?"

"Of course, she is the number one courtesan in the imperial city, and the first prostitute in Quan Daxi who has caught the eye of the Holy Emperor."

"Is the oiran actually accepting guests?" Someone was shocked.

"Of course. After all, oirans are also human beings, but the price is higher than that of ordinary girls." Someone said in an extremely calm tone, as if he had experienced it himself. "..."

Su Xiaoyong was dressed in men's clothing this time, so the businessmen invited by Li Lianpeng did not avoid her.

He kept speaking freely and revealed all his thoughts.

Li Lianpeng sent a message and said: "Don't blame Xiaoyong. These guys get together and that's how successful they are. I'm not that kind of person."

Su Xiaoyong, who was disguised as a man, secretly rolled her eyes at him, conveying information with her eyes.
"Don't explain too much."

She naturally believed in him, but she just didn't want him to be too proud. This charioteer matter needed to be hammered on at all times.

Seeing Xiao Yong's look, Li Lianpeng breathed a sigh of relief. He regretted letting Xiao Yong dress up as a man to attend the banquet.

These industry giants invited from all walks of life in the nearby city of Yangzhou are too restrained, and they talk like oirans and concubines.

It seems like they won't discuss anything else but this.

He simply doesn’t care about business matters at all!

"The top oiran in the imperial city mentioned by the bosses has a surname of Zhang and a given name of Ruyi. He is not Li Shishi and Wang Shishi."

Li Lianpeng finally couldn't bear it anymore and said with a straight face:
"Guys, Mr. Li invited you all to come here today to discuss business and cooperation, not to discuss the imperial court oiran. Why don't you wait until we have finalized the cooperation matters and you can discuss it later?"

"According to Mr. Li's wish."

"Hey, I'm afraid Mr. Li has misunderstood. The reason why I mentioned this oiran is to liven up the atmosphere. Mr. Li, you are so famous. Many of us here will be nervous involuntarily when they see Mr. Li. ."

"Only by mentioning this world-famous courtesan can we let go of our nervousness!"

Li Lianpeng suddenly understood. He looked at Su Xiaoyong and smiled immediately: "In that case, I understand. If you have anything, please speak up and don't be too nervous."

They are talking about cooperation this time, mainly to form a business circle and put their own businesses in the same place for everyone to choose.

The items sold by these bosses are all small items needed for daily consumption.

The reason why Li Lianpeng summoned them was because he bought all the vacant land nearby where the martial arts conference would be held.

Now that the grand event is over, all the arenas used for martial arts competitions will be demolished after the new year.

The land has been taken over from the government. Qingque, the manager of the Li Mansion, signed and deposited the property on behalf of Li Lianpeng and completed all the formalities.

Now, there are just a few businessmen to settle in.

This is actually not difficult. As long as the publicity is in place, ambitious businessmen will catch wind of it and come.

After all, no one can live with money.

The merchants invited here tonight are those who are greedy for money.

Everyone seemed very respectful to Li Lianpeng, the master behind the Lotus Tower.

After listening to what Li Lianpeng said, the few of them continued talking for a while, and time passed quickly.

Soon, the banquet was coming to an end.

Not surprisingly, Li Lianpeng drank all the guests under the table.

This time, with Su Xiaoyong by his side, Li Lianpeng couldn't drink too much.

Every time you drink a cup, you use your internal energy to completely evaporate it, leaving no trace behind.

Almost none of these merchants know martial arts.

This made it easier for Li Lianpeng to cheat while drinking.
