This brother is a bit cold in time travel

Wei Chuyang has something to worry about.The reason was that Chen Yan came to him suddenly, saying that he was asking him for a favor. This favor is his profession, so there is nothing to be entangled with, but according to Chen Yan, he prepared it for the prefect of Yunling. New Year's greetings should not be sloppy, don't flatter you and cause dissatisfaction.Therefore, a few days later, when Chen Yan asked him to have dinner at Yunsheng Restaurant at noon, he still couldn't make up his mind.

"But let you make a coffee table, why hesitate?" Chen Yan picked up the jug and filled it for Wei Chuyang.

"If you really don't care, why bother pointing out what this tea table is for." Wei Chuyang ignored the full wine glass and picked up another lion's head. He had just drank two glasses, although not much, but his capacity for alcohol And that's all.

"I just mentioned it by the way." Chen Yan drank wine on his own, but his chopsticks hardly moved, "Didn't your family open a restaurant in Yingzhou City? Then money should be tight now. Brother, I You're not a stingy person, and the salary will be quite a lot if you do it well, think about it again?" He still had a folding fan on his right hand, it was already winter, and Wei Chuyang was already wearing cotton clothes, he saw you when he first entered the private room Chen Yan was still shaking the paper fan, Wei Chuyang really disliked him.

"That's not the problem. Although I've been learning woodwork for many years, I don't use it much. I'm afraid it will be a disservice to you. Why don't you go to my master!" Wei Chuyang thought this was a better suggestion.

"Yao Zhongxiao? No way." Chen Yan lazily leaned back in the chair, playing with the folding fan in his hand, "Generally, an old carpenter like him has nothing to criticize in his craftsmanship, but it's too traditional to do it. If I come up with something innovative, how can I give it away? But you are different, you are a young man, and you are still Yao Zhongxiao's apprentice, even if your craftsmanship is not very good, there will be no major mistakes."

After he said so much, Wei Chuyang only slowed down his eating speed, but he didn't nod for a long time.

"Don't be afraid of difficulties, this is also an opportunity to exercise, and it doesn't need to be too delicate, just be ingenious." Chen Yan put his hands on the table, staring at Wei Chuyang who was gnawing on pig's feet with his long and narrow eyes, "You should say something ah!"

After Wei Chuyang gnawed the pig's trotters, he looked at Chen Yan thoughtfully, and said slowly, "I can try. The time for you to give the gift should be early next year, right?"

"Yes, you still have about two months." Chen Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.Some time ago, he asked a friend to buy a purple sand pot and other tea sets at a large price, and he heard that a friend who was in the timber business had high-quality rosewood, so he simply prepared everything and added a sandalwood tea table.This sandalwood can ward off evil spirits and keep you safe, and it is an auspicious thing.

Wei Chuyang nodded, touched his neck suddenly, and said, "I'm a little thirsty, can I have a pot of tea?"

"Xiao Er, serve a pot of good tea!" Chen Yan shouted out loudly, and Xiao Er responded.

"What is your family's business?"

"The Chen family's business is in the silk and satin business. In my own words, I have dabbled in all walks of life, but they are all small businesses, mainly medicinal materials and tea. The Wen Xingyuan you saw last time is my biggest business." Partner." Although it was strange why Wei Chuyang asked this suddenly, he still didn't hide it.

"Wen Xingyuan? I remember that you guys seemed to have an unpleasant quarrel last time. Will it affect the business between you?"

"In business and business, since it's a private matter, of course it should be resolved in private." Having said that, Chen Yan still had a look of unnaturalness on his face.Wen's family is the number one imperial merchant, and they have an unshakable position in the business of medicinal materials and tea. He also met Wen Xingyuan by chance, and with the springboard of Wen's family, he gained a foothold in Yunling City.Now, he is actually not sure whether his personal grievances with Wen Xingyuan will affect the business.

"You... have never thought about running a restaurant?" Wei Chuyang asked tentatively.

"Huh?" Chen Yan thought about it for a moment, "Oh, you want to pull me into your gang?"

"The decoration of the restaurant still needs a lot of money, and it is impossible to make a profit immediately after opening, and the daily expenses are not a small burden. Our family has no experience in opening a restaurant, and it may be difficult to run it well." Wei Chuyang said truthfully.

"But I haven't opened a restaurant before."

"But you are rich."

There was silence in the private room, Chen Yan was stunned for a while, and then laughed loudly: "Hahaha, this is to my liking! Just wait, I'll go back and discuss it with my father."

Next, Wei Chuyang was not in a hurry, but said some irrelevant things to Chen Yan. After eating and drinking enough, the two went to their respective homes.

"How is it?" Wei Chuyang walked to Chen Yan who was leaning on the window and looked down, and asked softly.After he proposed the idea of ​​cooperating with Chen Yan that day, a few days later, Chen Yan asked Wei Chuyang to take him to see the store they bought before making a decision.

"The location is good. There is only a teahouse on the opposite side. The competition is not too fierce, and the street is also lively. It is feasible to open a restaurant here." Chen Yan thought for a while, and said.

"It's close to the market, the flow of people is high, and it's convenient to buy ingredients. The people living in the street behind are relatively well-to-do families. If it opens, the business should be quite considerable." Wei Chuyang continued following his words. , I hope Chen Yan can make up his mind.

"Well... then it will work. But I can only take out about 300 taels now, and the follow-up will have to wait for me to go back to Yunling City." Chen Yan agreed, and was about to go downstairs with Wei Chuyang, when the window on the second floor of the opposite teahouse suddenly opened Yes, he just glanced at it inadvertently, but when he was about to turn around, he stopped.

Wei Chuyang noticed Chen Yan's strangeness, and also looked towards the opposite side, only to see a fourteen or fifteen-year-old brother set up the window, stepped aside, and he saw a beautiful brother sitting at the table, that brother An old servant stood behind him.

Perhaps feeling the sight of the two of them, the brother tilted his head and smiled towards them. Wei Chuyang must not know this brother, so he asked, "Do you know that brother?"

Chen Yan nodded slightly, and said: "His name is Nan Ling, and he is Wen Xingyuan's subordinate. He has been staying here for a long time, and he doesn't know what he wants to do." His brows were tightly frowned.

Naturally, Wei Chuyang couldn't answer his doubts, and the two stood for a while before going downstairs.There were people coming and going on the street, and it was inconvenient to park the carriage, so Wei Chuyang tied the carriage elsewhere.When he was driving the carriage, Chen Yan was waiting for him downstairs.

"Master Chen, my master invites you to go upstairs and have a talk." A brother came out of the opposite teahouse and stood in front of Chen Yan. It was the little brother upstairs just now.

"Is there something wrong?" Chen Yan asked lazily.

"You'll know when you're gone." The little brother smiled lightly and didn't say much.

"Let's go." Chen Yan said in his heart, he didn't owe Wen Xingyuan anything to him, so why hide from his people, he wanted to see what Nan Ling wanted to do.

Wei Chuyang drove the carriage back downstairs, but Chen Yan was nowhere to be seen, but the store door was locked, so where did he go?

"Wei Chuyang, here!" Hearing the sound of the carriage, Chen Yan yelled halfway out of the window.

Wei Chuyang raised his head to follow the sound and glanced up. He was wondering where to put the carriage, but a waiter from the opposite shop had already been sent to help him drive the carriage to the back of the teahouse.

When he went upstairs, he didn't know how to address him, so he nodded at him as a greeting.

"He's already here, you can talk to him directly if you have anything to do." Chen Yan still had a very casual attitude.

"Huh?" What are you talking about with him?

"Mr. Wei, it's like this. Our young master is very interested in Yingzhou City recently and plans to do some business here. I originally valued the shop opposite. I don't want to already have an owner. I don't force it. It's just that I wonder if Mr. Wei is willing to cooperate?" Nan Ling did not beat around the bush, but directly stated his purpose.

"Heh." Before Wei Chuyang could speak, Chen Yan suddenly sneered.Don't think he doesn't know, the largest restaurant in Yingzhou City, the Zhaixing Restaurant, belongs to Wen's family. It's obvious that the drunkard's intention is not to drink.

"Why did he suddenly want to cooperate with my family? Is there something wrong with it?" Wei Chuyang gave Nan Ling an apologetic smile, and then moved closer to Chen Yan and whispered to him.He would pull Chen Yan into the gang because he felt that Chen Yan could be trusted, but this Nanling appeared out of nowhere, so he had to be cautious.

Chen Yan sighed, not knowing how to explain it to Wei Chuyang.If the Wen family really joined the restaurant, the future would be limitless, but he and Wen Xingyuan... oh, forget it, anyway, his relationship with the Wen family is endless, and he doesn't care about it.

"Let's see what kind of cooperation he wants first. If you think it is beneficial to you, then agree." Chen Yan's voice was not low. After Nan Ling listened, he consciously put forward his own idea: "I only want [-]% of this restaurant. But the Wen family is bound to be the backing. You still run the restaurant, and I won't interfere too much, the only thing is that I must arrange a person of my own in the restaurant so that I can control whether the restaurant is running well or not."

Chen Yan and Wei Chuyang looked at each other.If they really cooperate, relying on the Wen family, they will definitely benefit in many ways, so it is understandable if the Wen family takes the majority, but Nanling only wants [-]% of the money, is this just giving them money?

"That's it!" Chen Yan suddenly stood up and slapped the table.

Wei Chuyang stared at him with wide eyes, too shocked to speak.How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?Besides, this should be discussed between the two, how can they make such a hasty decision.

Regardless of what he thought, Chen Yan stretched out his hand to Nan Ling.With a polite and distant smile on Nan Ling's face, he motioned to the old servant behind him, and the old servant took out a bank note and handed it over.Wei Chuyang was even more speechless. He dared to pay without any evidence. Was he really a businessman?

Wei Chuyang was still in shock until he took over the reins from Xiaoshuai.He climbed into the carriage first, and Chen Yan suddenly slapped the banknote on his chest. He took a look, threw it back immediately, and asked, "Why do you just accept money from other people!" It was a 1000 note. He didn't dare to ask for two silver bills. If the money was confiscated, there was still room for things to turn around.

"You can take it if you give it to you, and you don't take advantage of it! Let me tell you, the decoration of the restaurant is as extravagant as it is, anyway, his Wen family is not short of money!"

Wei Chuyang was indifferent, the investment must be commensurate with the return, taking so much money from someone and only giving them [-]% profit, isn't this a scam.

"I won't kill you!" When Chen Yan entered the carriage, Wei Chuyang heard him grit his teeth and say something.

Wei Chuyang stared blankly at the bank note in his hand, he really wanted to cheat others.Since it was Zhou Yu who beat Huang Gai, one was willing to beat the other and the other was willing to suffer, so should he... just push the boat along?
