I became popular all over the Internet after hugging the waste prince's thigh

Chapter 54 54. Come and Dedicate

After Xiao Jinyou finished handling the affairs at hand, he hurried to the commercial street.

This street is full of people at this time, if you have not been here before, it is hard to imagine that this is the street of Qiongzhou Prefecture.

Seeing that this street is crowded, the grocery vendor also moved his position here.Seeing someone selling candied haws, he asked Fu Lu to buy two bunches.

Just like that, Xiao Jinyou came to Wanbao Building with two candied haws. As he expected, Qiao Qiao was chatting and laughing happily with people in the store.

The other party is none other than Shen Cai, the richest man in Liangzhe.

He put away his smile and came to her: "I saw an old man selling candied haws. You have a bad appetite today, and the hawthorns are good for your appetite."

Qiaoelya took the candied haws with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect there to be candied haws in this season. It will melt in the hot weather."

Xiao Jinyou held another string in his hand: "It will be gone in half a month."

Zhong Heming tried to destroy the atmosphere between the two: "Nephew, if you don't want to eat, give it to me."

Qiaoelya hurriedly defended the food: "I saw the stall outside, let your servant buy it for you." She knew to bully her boyfriend all day long.

Zhong Heming raised his brows: "Yo, this is put on before you enter the door. Believe it or not, I, an uncle, will put on your shoes for you."

Qiaoelya is not afraid of him: "Go ahead and wear it. If there are good things in the future, we can't blame us for being unfilial. Who made Xiao Jinyou have an uncle who wears small shoes?"

Xiao Jinyou said seriously: "Uncle, don't talk nonsense outside." He and Qiao Qiao don't have that kind of relationship yet.

Those wealthy businessmen had already left, and Shen Cai stayed to continue talking with Qiaoerya because of his interest in her.The two hit it off right away and talked very happily, so he wanted to match her with his unfilial son, but he didn't expect him to witness such amazing news with his own eyes.

Fortunately, he didn't say anything, otherwise he would be robbing the future emperor.Even if he is the richest man, even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to rob the emperor for a woman!He and Ms. Qiao share the same interests, and it seems that they can only be friends.

In fact, Shen Cai didn't care as much about who was the future emperor as it appeared on the surface.If the Fifth Prince inherits the Datong, all businessmen in this world will be overwhelmed by the Zeng family.

He has been in business for decades, and his vision is sharp. This Wang An has only been in Qiongzhou for a few days, and he let these businessmen go voluntarily, which shows that he is not small.Miss Qiao called King An's name directly and they lived in peace. If nothing happened, she would be the master of the harem in charge of Fengyin in the future.

If you make friends with Miss Qiao, it means you are on King An's boat.Aside from the happy conversation with Ms. Qiao, Shen Cai was reluctant to part with the rare treasures in the Wanbao Tower, and it was said that there were more strange things that he hadn't brought back.The stock in the store is changed every quarter. If you want to buy it, you can only wait for the next time it will be on the shelves.Ms. Qiao said that this is a time-limited and unlimited sale, and it is not certain that the price will increase in the future.

Shen Cai has a lot of thoughts, it's time to make a decision.

Qiaoerya is exchanging words with Zhong Heming: "Just eat hot pot, and the three delicacies pot tastes good, don't always think about spicy food."

Zhong Heming wanted to eat barbecue. He hadn't eaten barbecue in the palace yet, so he was very curious about how the barbarians eat it.

However, considering the large number of people and the guest of Shen Cai, Qiaoelya was not good enough to eat barbecue.What's more, hot pot is the main sign of this commercial street, and barbecue can be eaten at any time.

"Forget it, let's go to hot pot, I can't say no to you." Zhong Heming looked at his nephew with hatred, "You don't care about her, she will be lawless, be careful to ride on your head in the future."

Qiaoerya hid behind Xiao Jinyou and made faces, and Xiao Jinyou acted as a peacemaker in the middle: "Uncle, you always recruit her, and the rabbit will bite when it is in a hurry. Qiao Qiao has a very good temper and will not do what you said."

Zhong Heming felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and his nephew went to his hometown with his elbow.

Shen Cai has traveled all over the world, and he has also eaten hot pot.However, as Ms. Qiao said, the hot pot in Beijing is mainly spicy, and there are no other famous dishes.He has never eaten any delicacies from mountains and seas. People who can't eat spicy food go to eat hot pot in the capital because they are not happy for themselves. Except for Tu Xiqi, eating spicy food has nothing to do with gourmet food.

The hotpot restaurant was less than ten meters away, and Qiaoerya and Xiao Jinyou entered the restaurant holding hands and side by side.

The lobby on the first floor was full of guests, Qiaoelya didn't know them, but Shen Cai was very familiar with every face.

Yes, those wealthy businessmen who went to the island together all come to eat hot pot together.Many people didn't find Wanbaolou, they just came here after smelling the smell of hot pot after being tired from shopping.

The two brothers He Shu and He Qi were upstairs in the private room, and they had come early to grab a seat in the private room, otherwise they would have to sit at a table in the lobby with a group of hard-to-reach boatmen.

Qin Niang didn't go to the hot pot restaurant with the two maidservants, she kept her eyes on the whole way, she was extremely curious, but she couldn't act like she had never seen the world.However, after all, she couldn't move at the entrance of the milk tea shop, and her whole body seemed to be glued to the ground.

After a while, three women appeared in the milk tea shop. The woman sitting in the middle was graceful and familiar.

Qiaoelya's private room was right next door to the He family brothers, and they missed each other perfectly.

But even if they met, they couldn't chat for a few words. He Shu and He Qi were eating so much that their noses were sweating, and they were buried in the pot without lifting them. This eating appearance was worse than being looked down upon by them in the lobby.If the Taifu sees them, I'm afraid they will be beaten severely.

Qiaoerya ordered the mandarin duck pot, and asked Xiao Er to serve the shop's special drinks, sour plum soup and hawthorn juice.

She took the initiative to introduce to Shen Cai: "When the food stall opens later, you can also try the fruit beer and cola in the store. These are unique drinks in our Qiongzhou."

Shen Cai took a sip of the hawthorn juice: "You put a lot of sugar in this one, the fruit is well processed, and it doesn't taste sour."

What he said is not to say that hawthorn juice is too sweet, but due to the limitations of the times and technology, handmade hawthorn juice and sour plum soup cannot avoid the sour taste of the fruit, and sugar is not cheap, generally reluctant to add sugar, the taste is even worse Average.

There is no such thing as an original ecology in this era. If it is not good, it is not good. I would rather drink plain water than the sour hawthorn juice and sour plum soup.

Qiaoelya also didn't expect that the free unlimited fruit juice for three days after opening became the signature of the hot pot restaurant. The most and highest comments from customers were that they were willing to put sugar, sweet and sour, and she couldn't laugh or cry when she found out.

Her sour plum soup and hawthorn juice are bought with beverage powder and jam, so it will have a pulpy taste.Qiongzhou's climate can naturally grow sour plums and hawthorns on a large scale, but the problem is that this is a hot pot restaurant, not a beverage store, so there is no need to make the drinks so upscale.

Who would have thought that such a cheap and free juice would be the most popular.

Qiaoelya smiled lightly: "If you like it, I will ask someone to bring a pack of sour plum powder. Even if you go home, you can brew it yourself if you want to drink it, and you can brew a pot with cold hot water."

Shen Cai showed surprise on his face: "Isn't that good, just give me the signboard of your shop like this?"

Qiaoerya didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What kind of a sign is this? The free drink is provided for three days after opening. A pack of sour plum powder can satisfy several tables of people. It's just a waste of water." Fortunately, there are abundant groundwater resources on the island. , otherwise the water will be charged.

Shen Cai couldn't see through her.Mingming has just started doing business and has opened so many shops, but why doesn't she seem to care about money at all? It seems that in her eyes, as long as the business is profitable, she will be satisfied.

"That's fine, you get me two packs each, and I'll pay for it from you. Don't say that you don't charge money. How can I, an elder, have the nerve to take things from younger generations for nothing?"

As soon as Shen Cai's words came out, Zhong Heming subconsciously looked at Xiao Jinyou.This old man Shen didn't let go of his attempts to win him over, he was so cunning and waited to see which side had an advantage to show his position, he didn't know what to do, how could he become an elder who cared for the younger generation after chatting with Ms. Qiao for a few words?

Qiaoerya smiled and said yes: "This mutton tastes good. It is the local specialty black goat meat of Qiongzhou. The goats are free-ranged by farmers. The meat is fresh and tender, and it is crystal clear when sliced ​​into thin slices. It can be rinsed in a clear soup pot."

Shen Cai dubiously picked up a piece of mutton roll and put it into the clear soup pot, "Wouldn't it smell like mutton if you put it in this pot?"

He had eaten broiled mutton, and the experience was not very good. The smell of mutton filled his mouth, and he has stayed away from mutton since then.

"No, you'll know if you try it. I'm very confident in the local mutton." Anyway, it's one of the characteristics of Qiongzhou. If it's really bad, it won't be passed down from ancient times to modern times.

Shen Cai fished out the mutton roll from the pot, the mutton slices were very thin, not like the big pieces of meat he had eaten before, maybe it was really bad luck that he got unpalatable mutton last time.

He dipped the mutton roll in the bowl, and put it into his mouth with an attitude of not wanting to die, and then his expression gradually became puzzled.

"It's exactly as you said, the meat is fresh and tender, without any smell."

Shen Cai breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the delicious mutton tasted like this, it was considered delicious.

"That's right, do you think this goat will be easy to sell if you take it out?"

Shen Cai was stunned on the spot: "It should be easy to sell. The last time I was invited by a friend to participate in the Roasted Lamb Feast, the lamb smelled very strong, and it was already the tenderest lamb selected."

Qiaoelya learned that there are special goats in the local area only after checking the history books, and she was full of praise after eating it herself.It's a pity that the cost of raising sheep for farmers here is too high, and no one is willing to open a farm.

If the trade route can be opened up and live sheep can be sold directly, more people will be willing to become farmers.The people in the inland areas regard the land as the foundation of their families, and the family will be stable only if they have good land.However, in Qiongzhou, it's not that the people don't want to farm, but that the seaside is very alkaline, and not every household can grow land.

Some fields have to be reclaimed if they cannot be cultivated.The reclaimed fields on the mountain can only grow the most basic crops, and if you want to grow rice, you may not get any crops.But farming is different. What Qiongzhou lacks most are forests and grasslands. The vegetation here has a high rate of greening. It is completely possible to set aside a mountain for stocking, and sprinkle grass seeds on the reclaimed fields to make breeding farms.

Shen Cai raised his glass to her: "My friend might also come to Qiongzhou today, if I can meet him, he must be interested in this business."

Qiaoelya clinked glasses with him: "I have always been very lucky, maybe I will meet you."

What they didn't expect was that this friend didn't order mutton at the hot pot restaurant two hours later. Instead, he ordered mutton skewers at a food stall with his companions in the evening, and kept muttering about the waste in his mouth.

Today Qiaoelya got acquainted with Shen Cai and gained a lot.She found that Shen Cai was not as old and cunning as Zhong Heming said behind his back, he was obviously a kind elder who taught her business experience.

She proposed to buy a big boat, Shen Cai laughed heartily, "Qiao girl, how do you know I have a boat?"

Qiaoel Yaxin said, isn't this obvious, you went to the island today and brought a fleet over.

"Your large fleet is not a display. I think your ship looks more atmospheric than the other ships, so I would like to ask where you ordered the merchant ship. I also want to buy it."

"I have vision, but they only build a big ship a year, and I'm afraid the order for this year has been completed. If you are in a hurry to use it, I really have a vacant cargo ship here, but is there anyone here who can sail?"

Zhong Heming couldn't help interjecting: "Don't worry about that, don't you believe my connections?"

"I really don't believe it. It is said that you are a close friend of the young Patriarch of the Zeng family. Why didn't the Zeng family come to help?"

Shen Cai's yin and yang strangeness poked Zhong Heming's sadness, he was tricked by someone, it is really a great shame!
Joel gloated and explained for him: "Let's not poke his wounds anymore, he was angry for days and nights because of being tricked." Then he made a lot of money from the Zeng family by backhanding, earning five times the money that was tricked. came back.

I don't know what method he used to sell those glass beads.The cheapest styles were sold for five taels of silver, not to mention the pure color glass beads, which were sold to Baozhu Pavilion at wholesale prices.

Qiaoerya felt that Zhong Heming was like the old Montenegrin demon who cannibalize people without spit out bones.

Shen Cai stopped laughing this time, instead he had a meaningful meaning: "I thought Zhong Xiaoyou was in the same nest as Zeng's young master Snake and Mouse."

Xiao Jinyou looked at his uncle, Zhong Heming touched his nose guilty.

It turned out to be the case, and he also said why he couldn't win over Shen Cai, the Shen family had already had a quarrel with the Zeng family, and he and Zeng Wuyan were close friends before, and it was because of their generosity that they could take care of him.

Qiaoelya was not ambiguous in asking for help, and directly handed over a beautifully packaged wooden carved square box.

"See if you like this."

Shen Cai quickly waved his hand: "Who do you think I am? Since we met by fate, don't make such false accusations. I know that you girl has a straight temper. We have things to talk about, and we are not in the mood to give gifts."

He felt that Qiao Yatou's business philosophy was very similar to his, as if he had seen himself when he was young.But Miss Qiao has someone to back her up, she won't learn how to protect herself after falling a few somersaults like she did back then.It's good to have someone to protect her. He looked at her as if he was looking at himself if he met a nobleman when he was young.

Qiaoelya deliberately provoked his curiosity: "Aren't you sure you don't want to see it? This gift is not sold in Wanbaolou, and usually only friends who have a good relationship with me can get it."

Shen Cai was really interested by what she said, there were no items sold in Wanbaolou, and they must be treasures of the same quality as Zhendianzhibao.But he was really entangled in his heart. He just gave her a vacant cargo ship. How could he receive a thank you gift for a few words? He is not a person who is greedy for cheap.

It was Xiao Jinyou who came forward and said a few words, Shen Cai's curiosity overcame his shame, and he accepted the gift box from Qiaoerya.

Qiaoelya held her face in both hands: "Open it quickly and take a look, don't be burdened, this is a gift between friends. If you really feel sorry... Well, I need a tea set to give to the elders, who are ten years older than you I'm old, I hope you can recommend me some styles that the elderly love."

Shen Cai opened the box and said casually: "What's the difficulty? I have a good friend who is in the tea set business. His hometown is in Jingdezhen. We met on the boat just now."

When he saw the contents in the box, Shen Cai almost forgot to breathe.

This turned out to be an extremely small clock, several times smaller than the wall clock at his home, and it should be able to be carried on the body to check the time when going out.

Qiaoerya smiled and introduced: "This is a watch, which is worn on the wrist to tell the time. It is the best choice for traveling."

　Everyone, please see the updated position in the last day or two of the end of the month to catch up, otherwise it will affect the data.
