Chapter 607
After the meal was almost finished, the shopkeeper finally came, and said with a smile, "I am the shopkeeper of Wanfu Building, Madam, can you ask me for something?"

Chen Jiaoniang sized up the people in front of her and said with a smile, "Does the shopkeeper know this jade pendant?"

She took out a jade pendant, and the shopkeeper hurriedly cupped his hands, and said very respectfully, "Oh, my little eyesight, I didn't know it was Mrs. Chen coming."

This jade pendant was left by Mr. Gao, the former owner of Wan Fu Lou. He stayed in the capital on weekdays. Chen Jiaoniang also needed a token to do business with the branch of Wan Fu Lou, so she gave her the jade pendant she carried with her.

At the same time, I told all the shopkeepers that when they see the person holding the jade pendant, they must treat them well.

Chen Jiaoniang took the jade pendant back and put it away, and said with a smile, "I think the shopkeeper also knows that I plan to open a branch of Xunxianglai in Lin'an Town, and when the branch opens, I can start supplying goods for Wanfulou. There are more than five pots of hot pot available.”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper was overjoyed, and said again and again, "I have been looking forward to Xunxiang for a long time. Don't worry, Mrs. Chen, you can ask me for help if you encounter any troubles in opening a store in Lin'an Town. I am obliged to help you solve it."

Because of selling hot pot, the Wanfu Building in Xiu'an Town has more than double the business of his place, and he has long been envious of it.

Not only is it booming in Xiu'an Town, but even many people in Lin'an Town deliberately ran over to try it out, and took away a lot of customers.

I have been looking forward to Xunxianglai's supply to Lin'an Town, and finally let him wait.

Chen Jiaoniang nodded, "It is true that we need the shopkeeper's help, to be honest, we have already looked at a few shops, but we are not familiar with the places, and we are always afraid of being deceived, so we invite the shopkeeper to follow along. "

"It's easy to say, and I should naturally help with this."

A few people left Wanfu Building together, intending to check out the shops that Yunan had found earlier, choose a suitable one, and start a simple renovation in the next two days, and then open for business.

Because she was going to go shopping in the street, she didn't drive the carriage and walked directly. She didn't see it in the car at first, but now Chen Jiaoniang looked at the scene on the street and couldn't help frowning.

"Treasurer Jin, the people of Lin'an Town live and work in peace and contentment, and the money in the wallets of the people is much more than that of Xiu'an Town. Why are there refugees everywhere on the streets?"

At first she thought it was just one or two beggars, but then she turned to another street and found that there were people begging for food with broken bowls in front of many shops.

Those people were ragged, with messy hair, old and young, and some were big and small. They looked like a family.

Shopkeeper Jin sighed helplessly, "Miss Chen doesn't know, it wasn't caused by the war at the border. The Liang clan seized the territory of several county towns in the border, and all the food was looted, so they can only go to other places to beg for food. gone."

Chen Jiaoniang said, "Didn't the imperial court send troops, why are the people still displaced?"

Yu Nan answered, "The battle is always the first thing to do. After the battle is won, the imperial court will distribute food to the victims."

"So many people will starve to death?" Chen Jiaoniang said angrily.

Shopkeeper Jin also sighed, "Isn't that right, Liang people robbed all the food in these people's homes. That's a year's harvest, so I just pointed at those things for the winter. Now it's good, and there is nothing in the house. There is nothing left, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive if I come to beg for food.”
