The Golden County Magistrate

Shopkeeper Yang laughed: "Sir, people have thousands of tastes and things have thousands of tastes. It's hard to tell the difference when you buy something. If you insist on saying there is a difference, it's probably the reputation!"

The man asked curiously: "Which one is better?"

Yang pointed to the closed door of the opposite shop: "My shop is still selling, his shop has closed, isn't the answer obvious?"

The man thought so and said happily: "It does make sense, please give my master a portion."

Shopkeeper Yang said hurriedly: "Prepare it for you immediately! By the way, our shop has just opened, and there is a buy two get one free promotion, you see..."

The man was moved and said: "No wonder your business can overwhelm the opposite side, it's true! OK, then give me two portions!"

Shopkeeper Yang smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close: "Thank you for your patronage! Buddy! Hurry up and prepare it for you!"

Behind the closed door of the opposite shop, Zhou Yang looked at the people coming and going in the opposite shop through the crack of the door, his thick eyebrows furrowed.

Of course he could recognize that many of the people who came in and out of the shop opposite were customers who had bought or made reservations here before.

Some even went to the door of their own shop to confirm whether it was really closed before going to the opposite side!

It's over!

The customer base that was accumulated with great difficulty was snatched away by competitors. Even if it reopens in the future, I'm afraid they won't come back!

I really don't know why the boss decided to close the shop at this critical juncture, giving the other party a great opportunity in vain.

In the past few days, the only thing he did was to go door to door to those who had made reservations before, apologize to them, and give them a bottle of Yaochi Xianniang as compensation.

Many people were disappointed. It can be seen that they actually like the taste of Yaochi Xianniang very much.

The one who impressed Zhou Yang the most was Prince Ning, because the prince was furious at the time and almost asked someone to break Zhou Yang's legs!

Zhou Yang had also secretly sent someone to buy Yao Chi Shen Niang from the opposite side. Although the color and shape are indeed similar, the taste is obviously different.

If he had followed his previous advice and insisted on opening the door and then lowered the price, it would be no difficulty to win the competition.

But now, everything is over.

It's not a defeat to the opponent, but a defeat to myself!

"Alas..."

He sighed and turned helplessly into the back hall.

I had to try my best to persuade the Shangshu Lord to see if I could change his decision!

At the same time, Ning Wang Mansion.

"Really not selling it?" Ning Wang anxiously pulled the housekeeper who had just returned.

"I have been watching it several times a day these days, and it is indeed not open again." The housekeeper said helplessly.

"Damn it!" Ning Wang was very disappointed and kicked the vase next to him in anger, smashing it to pieces.

Since Yao Chi Xian Niang opened, he has never missed any time he could make an appointment.

If the store had not limited the number of reservations for the same buyer and required real-name registration and verification, he would have wanted to send everyone in the mansion to line up for him!

These days, he has been patient and cautious every day, not daring to drink too much.

Originally thought that was enough torment, but unexpectedly Yaochi Xianniang suddenly closed down. Now, there is really not a drop left!

"Prince, calm down! This matter is not without a turning point." The housekeeper was shocked and said hurriedly.

"Be careful what you say, it's best not to disappoint this king again!" King Ning turned his head and glared at him, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"I have already found out that the reason why Yao Chi Xian Niang closed down is because of business run."

"Recently, there has been a surge in the number of customers who buy Xian Niang, and the business is booming, so the store next door has opened, called Yao Chi Shen Niang."

"And not just the store next door, I have also found out that many stores have opened in other parts of the capital, all of which are selling similar fine wines!"

"Not only is the price lower, but a bottle is much more than Yao Chi Xian Niang. In addition, there are various preferential sales, and the more you buy, the more gifts you get!"

The housekeeper hurriedly explained.

"Really? No wonder..." King Ning gradually calmed down and thought about it.

Frankly speaking, the practice of Yao Chi Xian Niang has long exhausted his patience.

Before, because there was no other store to buy from, he had to endure it.

But now there is a second store, and it is so conscientious, who would buy the expensive and troublesome one?

Seeing the change in King Ning's expression, the housekeeper was happy.

"Besides, I have already bought one for the prince!"

"One bottle is only 150 taels of silver. I bought two bottles and got an extra one!"

"And you don't need to make an appointment. The prince can drink as much as he wants in the future!"

Prince Ning's originally extremely bad mood suddenly improved: "Quick! Quickly bring it out for the prince!"

The butler hurriedly took out the Yaochi Divine Brew and respectfully presented it with both hands, feeling very happy.

Having served this gentleman for so many years, he knew the latter's character too well.This time, he has made such a great contribution, so his reward will definitely not be less!

The packaging of Yao Chi Shen Niang also imitates Xian Niang. The outermost layer is a set of high-quality wooden boxes, which are carved with exquisite patterns and hollows, showing high-end.

But as soon as the butler put the wooden box respectfully on the table, King Ning was stunned.

"The pattern is wrong." He frowned.

"Ah? The pattern is wrong?" The butler was also stunned and looked at the wooden box.

"The box of Yao Chi Xian Niang is carved with a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, and the texture follows the ancient supreme carving method. The texture is extremely delicate and smooth, without any flaws."

"But this box, although it is also carved with a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, the texture follows the ancient ordinary carving method, and the texture is unclear. Look here, and here, there are abnormal folds."

"And one of the four corners of this box has a dent!"

King Ning frowned and said.

The butler was completely confused.

How could he tell the difference between the supreme carving method and the ordinary carving method?

When I bought it, I just took a quick look and felt that it was similar to the outer box of Yao Chi Xian Niang. I didn't expect that the prince would be particular about this!

But he reacted quickly and praised: "The prince is really knowledgeable and can even see this!"

Prince Ning said unhappily: "Don't flatter me! In fact, I couldn't recognize it at first, but in the Yao Chi Xian Niang store, the shopkeeper introduced it to me in detail, so I can roughly understand it."

The housekeeper couldn't help but curse in his heart!

Just sell things, why talk about these useful or useless things!

The prince is picky to begin with, and if this happens, he might not want this Yao Chi Shen Niang!

Fortunately, Prince Ning hesitated for a while, and still said: "Forget it, try it first."

The housekeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly opened the box, and carefully took out a bottle.

"No! This bottle is wrong!"

"There are prints on the bottle, not engravings!"

"Is this seller crazy? How can it be printed!"

King Ning suddenly shouted a few words in annoyance, his face was not right.

The housekeeper's heart sank, and he forced a smile: "Your Majesty, wouldn't it be better if the prints were bright?"

King Ning said angrily: "Nonsense! The prints are shallow and can't reflect the nobleness of the engravings at all! This bottle is really cheap!"

The housekeeper suddenly recalled that it seemed that when he first went to the Yaochi Xianjiu store that day, the shopkeeper Zhou did explain this specifically!

Now think about it, could it be that Zhou did it on purpose?

Trouble, it was originally a great achievement, but I didn't expect that I would fall into a big trap in the details!

Seeing that King Ning's face sank to the bottom of the water, the housekeeper had to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you give it a try? Maybe he is just not empty on the outside, but gold and jade inside?"
