Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Zhou Jin looked at Zhang Dun and said, "The things you made in Zuixianlou are interesting."

"There are even better things in Zuixianlou." Zhang Dun said with a smile on his face, "Do you want to try Mr. Zhou?"

"Okay!" Zhou Jin said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Jin strode into Zuixianlou.

Zhang Dun gave Hu Guang a look and asked him to continue distributing soap to the people, and then followed Zhou Jin into Zuixian Tower.

Hu Guang quickly grabbed Zhang Dun's arm, and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhang, why did you let him in, we don't have a cook in Zuixian Tower!"

"..." Zhang Dun was stunned, and then he remembered that from yesterday to now, Hu Guang seemed to be the only one in Zuixianlou, and asked, "Where is the cook?"

"There was no one in Zuixian Tower before, so what do you need a cook for?" Hu Guang said bitterly, "I fired the cook long ago."

Zhang Dun is convinced, so what kind of restaurant are you opening?

"It's okay." Zhang Dun shook his head and said, "Cooks can be recruited again. Today, we don't sell food in Zuixianlou, so you can distribute soap at ease."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Dun ignored him and strode into Zuixian Tower.

With his hands behind his back, Zhou Jin looked at the decorations in the restaurant, shook his head and said, "Your Zuixian Building is really shabby, far inferior to the Dingsheng Building on the opposite side."

"For the sake of the piece of soap you gave me, I ate it today at your Zuixianlou."

"Sorry." Zhang Dun said apologetically, "There is no cook in Zuixianlou, so we can't cook."

"There is no cook in the restaurant, so can this be called a restaurant?"

Zhou Jin looked at him dumbfounded, then looked at Hu Guang who was distributing soap to passers-by outside the restaurant, and it took him a while to recover, and he said speechlessly: "The shop owner of Zuixianlou is called Pingkangfang. It's not unreasonable to be a wonderful flower."

"Looking at your behavior, sir, you shouldn't be succumbing to the Zuixian Tower. Why do you follow him?"

Zhang Dun sighed: "Originally I went to Pingkangfang to make money, and I took a fancy to Dingshenglou, but the store in Dingshenglou didn't give me face."

Zhou Jin was stunned, "So you came to Zuixian Tower?"

"Yes." Zhang Dun nodded and said, "Zuixian Building is a good place, and it is easiest to grab the business of Dingsheng Building."

"Ah?" Zhou Jin said in amazement: "You want to grab the business of Dingshenglou? It's impossible. Do you know how hot Dingshenglou's business is in Pingkangfang?"

"I know." Zhang Dun said.

"Knowing that you still say such big words?" Zhou Jin was even more confused.

Zhang Dun smiled and did not respond to him. Instead, he took out a small wine jar from a box and handed it to him, "After three days, we will see the result."

"Thanks to Mr. Zhou's kindness for coming to Zuixianlou, this jar of wine is a gift for you."

"Wine?" Zhou Jin became interested, took it and opened the wine jar, took a sip, and said with bright eyes: "Good wine!"

Zhang Dun smiled and took out two jars, handed them to him and said, "Since Mr. Zhou likes it, I will give you two more jars. This wine is called Erguotou, and I brew it myself."

"Tomorrow at this time, the Drunken Immortal Tower will be reopened. If Mr. Zhou can come again, it will be an eye-opener for Mr. Zhou."

"No problem." Zhou Jin took the two jars of wine in his hands, and said with a smile, "At this time tomorrow, I will bring some friends with me, so don't let me down."

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "I promise not."

Zhou Jin stood up, took two jars of wine, and strode away.

Zhang Dun also went out, and as soon as he came out, he saw that there was nothing on the case, and said in surprise: "Brother Hu, have you finished distributing the soap?"

Chapter 18 Works!A sensation in the city

"It's already sent out early. If you don't want money, whoever sees it doesn't want it?"

Hu Guang said with a sad face, "I said Brother Zhang, do we really want to give it away for free for three days?"

"No." Zhang Dun shook his head.

Hu Guang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Zhang Dun had changed his mind, but suddenly he heard Zhang Dun continue to say: "Send out everything today!"

Hu Guang looked at him dumbfounded, "What about tomorrow, close the door?"

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "Tomorrow will make money."

How does this make money?Hu Guang looked at him suspiciously, I just saw money posted outside.

Zhang Dun didn't explain to him, but followed Hu Guang to send out the items in the box non-stop.

"Sorry, the soap is gone, I'll give you a taste of this jar of Erguotou."

"Erguotou has just been delivered, you go back and try this rock candy."

"This is the pickle made by our Zuixianlou, you go back and taste it."

"Sorry, you're late, and the pickles are gone. Here's this for you. This is popcorn, made of rice."

"The rice is gone, you can try Zuixianlou's homemade candles."

"..."

From morning to night, when the curfew was approaching, all the things in the box were sent out for free.

Those who got the things for free were all beaming with joy, while those who didn't got them looked regretful.

"Is it still delivered tomorrow?"

"If you send it, I will come again!"

Some people who didn't receive anything said with a look of unwillingness.

Send, send, send a fart!No amount of money can't resist sending it out like this!Hu Guang cursed in his heart and glanced at Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun cupped his hands at them, and said, "The Zuixian Tower will give you a gift for one day. If you still want it, you can get it tomorrow as long as you spend in the Zuixian Tower."

Everyone left in disappointment, consumption?Zuixianlou's dishes are not as good as Dingshenglou's!

If it wasn't for the fact that they could receive things for free, how could they gather outside the Zuixian Tower.

For a moment, the outside of the Zuixian Building suddenly became empty, and after the deliveries were finished, it became deserted as before.

"Amazing, amazing!" Suddenly, the shopkeeper in Dingshenglou walked over with his hands behind his back, tsk-tsk in his mouth, looked at Hu Guang and Zhang Dun playfully, and said, "This kind of business method is really open to me. vision."

"Zhang Dun, is this the way you said, to steal my business from Dingsheng Building?"

"I think starting tomorrow, there will be another wonderful flower in Pingkangfang."

"You—" Hu Guang was furious, but Zhang Dun stopped him, looked at the store in Dingshenglou with a smile on his face, and said, "You still have two days."

"Ridiculous!" The Dingshenglou shopkeeper sneered, turned and left.

"What kind of virtue!" Hu Guang spat at his back, and said, "Sooner or later, he will have no business!"

After finishing speaking, Hu Guang frowned again. He didn't know when the Dingsheng Building would be closed. He knew that his Zuixian Building might close in front of the Dingsheng Building.

"Brother Zhang, what should we do next?"

Zhang Dun comforted: "Sleep well tonight, and start counting the money tomorrow, I'll go back first."

After all, Zhang Dun cupped his hands, dropped the boxes together, hired a bullock cart, and headed towards Yongyangfang.

Looking at Zhang Dun's back, Hu Guang's face became more sad, sleep well?Count money tomorrow?Are you sure it's me?

well!Hu Guang sighed, this is the end of the matter, it depends on Zhang Dun's arrangements, if he really can't make any money, he will lose if he loses, and the restaurant will be closed in a few days, and he will return to his hometown to count the money!

That night, exclamations came out from time to time in some houses in various squares and cities in Chang'an City.

In a mansion in Chongrenfang, a middle-aged man was just lying on the couch when suddenly a scent wafted over him. When he got up in surprise, he saw his wife walking over.

"Isn't it very fragrant?" His wife said happily: "Husband, the soap you brought back is really good. Use it to bathe, and your whole body will be fragrant!"

"Then I want to try!" The middle-aged man laughed, hugged her in his arms, squinted his eyes and smelled her body, secretly decided in his heart, the things in Zuixianlou are good, and he will go again tomorrow.

Also in Chongrenfang, an elderly man dressed in brocade satin stared at the burning candles, sniffed and said:

"The candles in Zuixianlou are a bit different, why do they have no smell when burned?"

A merchant with a hood who accompanied him was also a little confused, "Yeah, my son also finds it strange, so I'll go to Zuixianlou to buy some tomorrow."

"Buy some more." The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "I will use this from now on."

In Xuanyangfang, a mansion with four entrances and four exits, in the bright lights, an eight-year-old child surrounded the middle-aged man with a Chinese face who was reading a book and shouted:

"Daddy, this popcorn is delicious, can you buy some more for the child tomorrow?"

The middle-aged man with a square face patted his head, looked at the child's happy face, and said with a smile, "Father will buy everything you like for you!"

While talking, he murmured to himself, this popcorn, was this servant brought back today?That place that sells popcorn seems to be called Zuixianlou?

In Jinggongfang, a young man drank porridge and said in amazement: "My lady, why is the porridge cooked tonight so sweet and greasy?"

His wife covered her mouth with a snicker and said, "My family put some rock sugar in it."

The young man asked curiously, "Bingtang? What kind of candy?"

His wife dragged her cheeks and looked at him, blinking her eyes and said: "It's the restaurant opposite the Dingsheng Building. My family remembers it as being called Zuixianlou. It's a pity that they don't give much. It's only enough for today. If my husband I like the taste, and I will buy some from my servant tomorrow."

The young man took another sip of the porridge, enjoying the sweetness in the porridge, and said with a smack: "Pingkangfang Zuixianlou? Interesting, my husband will take you with me tomorrow to see what good things are inside." .”

In Changlefang, in a mansion, the butler who had just had dinner and was about to clear the table, saw the middle-aged man hiccupping, and then looked at the three small bowls placed on the desk in front of him, and was startled. Skip to:

"Patriarch, you usually eat one bowl of rice, why did you eat three bowls today?"

The middle-aged Patriarch pointed to a small bowl of pickles on the desk, clicked his tongue and said: "Don't mention it, it's all caused by that pickle, if you don't just eat it, you will die, that thing called pickles, where did you buy it?" of? It tastes good!"

"Oh, the Drunken Immortal Tower in Pingkangfang? I'll go there tomorrow and see if there's anything else."

In Yongxingfang, in the mansion with the two big characters "Zhoufu", suddenly there was a loud shout: "Zhou Jin, come here for your father!"

At this moment, Zhou Jin was squinting his eyes, enjoying the delicacy of Erguotou. I have to say, this wine is indeed a little overdone.

Hearing his father's voice, Zhou Jin quickly stood up and strode into the hall, only to see his father blushing and reeking of alcohol.

Looking at the two empty wine jars on the copybook in front of his father, Zhou Jin suddenly understood, and said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Father, why did you steal the wine brought back by the child?"

"What is stealing drinking!" Zhou Ji said angrily, "For my father, this is called drinking aboveboard!"

"Tell me honestly, where did you get this wine?"

Chapter 19 Inside the Drunken Immortal Building, Overcrowded

Zhou Jin quickly told him about the Zuixian Tower.

Zhou Ji said in surprise, "The Zuixian Building? Is it the Zuixian Building opposite the Dingsheng Building?"

Zhou Jin couldn't help but said, "Yes, that's it."

"I didn't expect that such a wonderful flower of Pingkangfang could turn around and meet an expert to help."

Zhou Ji clicked his tongue and said: "This man is called Zhang Dun? He can make such good wine. Tomorrow, I will go to Zuixian Tower with you for my father, and then I will buy a few jars back."

Zhou Jin was surprised and said: "Father, you want to go with my son? My son sees no need for this. When my son returns, why don't I bring you a few altars?"

"You can't look at it that way." Zhou Ji waved his palms and said, "You said just now that Zuixianlou sent things, are you sure you only sent Erguotou and soap?"

"This..." Zhou Jin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "My child doesn't know."

Zhou Ji laughed and said, "So I'm going to see what else there is besides this soap and Erguotou."

"My father is very interested in this Zuixian Tower now."

"If there are other things in Zuixianlou, it means that the person who brews Erguotou is not an ordinary person."

"Being a father will recommend him to His Majesty and let him enter the court as an official."

Zhou Jin was stunned. His father was serving as a censor in the imperial court, but it was the first time he said such a thing, and wanted to recommend talents for the emperor.

"The censor is the emperor's eyes and ears. He is the emperor's eyes and ears. Your majesty will be delighted to hear such talents."

Zhou Ji picked up the unfinished wine jar, took a sip, and continued: "If this person is really talented, he will definitely be noticed by the people in the court. As a father, he must rush in front of them and recommend him to His Majesty, otherwise Wouldn't it be a waste of a chance to get married by being recommended by others first?"

"Zhou Jin, you will also be an official in the court in the future. It is impossible to stay idle at home all the time. My father has to pave the way for you, understand?"

Zhou Jin looked solemn, bowed and said, "My child understands."

Yongyangfang, Zhang family.

When he came back from the Zuixian Tower, the sky was already completely dark.
