Interstellar female dressed as country dude

Saying this, the three of them walked into the Kangyi Building.

The first floor of Kangyi Building has the most people, most of them are maids and servants from wealthy families, which is also related to the items sold on the first floor.

The seaside in Fucheng is not far away, but there is also some distance.Fresh seafood cannot be delivered, and when everyone wants to eat seafood, they always eat these dry goods.

As far as Baishu can see, there are various seashells, conch, dried kelp, mussels, dried sea fish, dried shrimps and other dry goods neatly stacked everywhere.These things are indispensable in the meals of many rich families, so many people come to buy them every day.

In addition, there are also some north-south goods merchants who purchase in large quantities, pack them in sacks and drag them further north to sell, and can also earn a lot of price difference.

Therefore, the first floor of the shop here is quite crowded, and more than a dozen guys are employed in the shop.

There are a lot of seafood on the first floor, and there is a bit of a smell, so Xie Huaiyu and the others did not stay on the first floor, but climbed up the stairs on the left side of the shop to the second floor.

On the second floor, the store is smaller than downstairs, and the number of customers is twice as small as that on the first floor.The items sold on the second floor are also very different from those on the first floor. There are also some seafood, but most of them are rare items such as sea cucumbers and dried seahorses, and the prices are more than ten times more expensive than those on the first floor.

In addition to these, there are also pearl powder, whitening cream and other items packed in shells, as well as spices imported from Nanyang.The price is also expensive, only a few taels of silver.

When the ladies or brothers of rich families come here, they have to come up to buy a few items and spend some money.

Bai Shu was not interested in these things at all, so he went to the third floor again.The shops on the third floor are two circles smaller than those downstairs, and only a few people shop here.

There are a wide variety of items for sale, covering the four walls, and there are some novelty items that are not seen in ordinary times.

Bai Shu first saw a bunch of small sea pearls, surrounded by several women who carefully selected them.

There are also puppies made of shells, jewelry boxes made of beads, etc., which are exquisite in workmanship and seem to be beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In addition to these things, there are also grape-sized South Sea pearls, which are displayed in boxes and guarded by special personnel.There are also jewelry imported from Nanyang, such as emeralds with excellent color, gemstones of various colors, and finished jewelry with exotic characteristics. The price of each item is more than [-] taels, but there is no shortage of buyers.

Bai Shuguang stood here for a while, and saw a few luxuriously dressed people place a deposit, and the shopping was packed in a sandalwood box by the shop assistant, and held in the hands of the other party, and they went in and out immediately Nearly ten thousand taels of silver.

Bai Shu couldn't help sighing again, in the Kangyi Building of Wanjia, from top to bottom, the rich people's money has been made all over the place, no wonder some people recommend them as the top businessmen of Daxuan.

Xie Huaiyu covered his lips with a folding fan, and said to Bai Shu in a low voice: "The seafood business of Wanjia seems to be eye-catching, but the most profitable business is actually not internal, but external. They buy a large amount of tea from various places every year, Raw silk, porcelain, etc. are exported overseas, and the amount of purchased items is far greater than the income from reselling seafood."

In fact, Xie Huaiyu has always wanted to cooperate with Wanjia to export this business, but he couldn't find a way.With Wanjia's current business, it is unworthy to cooperate with other people.

Bai Shu listened thoughtfully, looked at Xie Huaiyu suspiciously, and said, "You really know a lot. Although you are a scholar, but just sitting at home, these business matters are also clear."

Xie Huaiyu coughed and said: "Before in the capital, it was inevitable to hear people talk about it during the banquet, so I paid attention to it."

Bai Shu still felt strange and was about to ask again.

Xiaoshu coughed a few times at the side, and rescued Xie Huaiyu: "Master, it's getting late, let's find a place to eat first."

It was noon, and after they walked out of Kangyi Building, they didn't bother to go to Laifulou for dinner, but they found out about the largest restaurant nearby.

The restaurant is called Yixianfang, it is two floors high, it is said that it was newly opened by the Wan family, and the decoration is very gorgeous, so Bai Shu and the others went to eat there nearby.

Walking into Yixianfang, Bai Shu felt a little familiar.After entering the lobby, I saw a few wooden signs hanging on the wall, with the names and prices of the dishes written on them, which were very similar to Lai Fu Lou, but because of the location of the shop, the price was a little higher.

This Yixianfang is a deliberate imitation of Laiflou.Not only is the menu made very similar to Laifulou, but even the decoration, tables and chairs in the store are similar to Laifulou, but the number of customers inside is a little less than that of Laifulou, and the lobby on the first floor is not full. , only a few guests.

Seeing this situation, Xiaoshu said mockingly: "This restaurant is built like Lafulu, but it is so sluggish, it shows that the ability to run it is not something everyone can do."

Xie Huaiyu didn't take it seriously, and went up to the second floor with Bai Zhu, and found a seat by the window to sit down.

The tables and chairs on the entire second floor are brand new, and they are the only one table guests.

As soon as they sat down, the shopkeeper came up to ask them what they wanted.

Xie Huaiyu asked him to introduce the recipes, and the shopkeeper reported them one by one, and the dishes were similar to those in Laifulou.Xie Huaiyu thought about it and ordered the same dish, and asked the shopkeeper to present it.

After a while, the waiter brought up the dishes they had ordered, including Guiren chicken, which was very similar to Guifei chicken.There is also lotus fish, which is no different from chrysanthemum fish.

Xie Huaiyu tasted a little of it himself first, then picked up a chopstick for Baishu and said: "The taste is not bad."

"Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog." Xiao Shu also ate a mouthful of lotus fish, and said with distaste while eating: "As expected, the chrysanthemum fish from Laifulou is better."

Bai Zhu also ate a few mouthfuls, but felt that the taste of these dishes was not as good as Xie Huaiyu's home cooking, but it was not worse than Laifulou's.

It's just that he was a little puzzled, the same thing, but in a different place, but no one came for some reason.

Bai Shu is a smart person, he has doubts in his heart, he only needs to think a little bit, and he can figure out the key points.

Laifulou has already gained a reputation, and it is open at the wharf. Merchants and ships are docked. When they need a light meal, they will first consider the nearby Laifulou.

Moreover, the price of Lai Fu Lou is cheaper, and the surrounding rich peasants who come to Fucheng to play will also choose to spend at his house.And this Yixianfang was originally opened in the center of Fucheng, and most of the people who came here were rich people from Fucheng.

Their dishes are similar to those of Lai Fu Lou, and they are not fresh at all, but the prices are even more expensive.It is even more so that these locals will not come for the second time if they eat it once.If his family had developed its own characteristics and located in this busy street, the business would never have been so sluggish.

After Baishu's villa is repaired, he will also manage meals, so when he goes in and out of these restaurants now, he will observe carefully and learn from them.

The best way to learn from the classics is to learn from the excellence and then develop your own characteristics, rather than deliberately imitating.Instead, it lost its originality and fell to the lower class.

After they finished eating, the shopkeeper came to ask again because of the high consumption, "Guest officers, are you satisfied with the dishes in the shop?"

There was nothing wrong with these dishes, so Bai Shu nodded and said she was satisfied.But Xiaoshu was always unhappy with their imitation of Lafulou, so he said unceremoniously: "Your food is no different from Lafulou, but the price is much higher, making people unwilling to come again .”

The shopkeeper was not angry when he heard this, instead he nodded clearly and said: "Little brother, to be honest, you are not the only one who said this to the customer officer who came to our shop. It is slightly more expensive than Laifulou, but it is about the same as other shops on this street. It’s just that the shop has been open for half a year, but the business is really not good. The owner is now looking for opinions from all parties. If anyone can help this shop Once the opinion is adopted, a thousand taels of silver can be rewarded on the spot."

When Xie Huaiyu heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and Bai Shu also nodded.

I heard that the owner behind this restaurant is the Wan family. Although this imitation of Laifulou is not clever, but it is quite generous to solicit opinions for business and spend a lot of money.It is no wonder that Wanjia's seafood business can expand, and it seems that it still has a bit of a mind.

"What do I have to say?" Xiao Shu rolled his eyes after hearing this, "Just tell your employer not to copy everything from Lai Fu Lou."

Bai Shu at the side was a little interested.A thousand taels of silver is not a small amount for him.However, if you come up with an idea, it is good if it is adopted, and if it is not adopted, it will not take much effort.

Seeing him moved, Xie Huaiyu said: "Bai Shu, you and your left are also involved in this business, why don't you take this opportunity to experience it, and if you have any good ideas, you might as well speak up."

After hearing this, Bai Shu nodded and said, "There is indeed an idea, I don't know if it will work or not."

Moreover, he has a good relationship with the shopkeeper Yan of Laifulou in the county, and he has a deep affection for Laifulou in this prefecture. He always feels that it is not good for him to give advice to his opponents.

Xiaoshu glanced at his young master inexplicably, it's fine if Bai Shu didn't know, his young master knew that Yixianfang was his competitor in Laifulou, so why would he let others give advice to his opponent?

Xie Huaiyu seemed to see Xiaoshu's thoughts and said: "The business that makes money in the world cannot be done by one person. This Yixianfang seems to be the same as Laifulou, but in fact it is completely different. Groups, in fact, do not constitute a competitive relationship. Whatever you say, it will not have any impact on Laiflou."

After hearing Xie Huaiyu's words, Bai Shu felt the same in retrospect.The owner of Laifu is doing business with merchants, but the business of local people in Yixianfang has a really different customer base.

So he said to the shopkeeper, "Is your owner Wanjia who owns a seafood shop?"

The shopkeeper nodded immediately, anyway, it's not a secret, most of the regular customers on this street know it.

"I have an idea here. You can talk to your boss to see if it's worth a thousand taels of silver." Bai Shu said, "Your home's current dishes and furniture are imitated from Lafulu. If you are at the lower level, it is better to make your own characteristics. Since your shop is Wanjia, there must be a variety of seafood, so why not use your own advantages to launch seafood dishes. If your shop is full of seafood dishes, then use shells The decorations such as conch shells must be extraordinary, and the guests who come and go will pass it on to hundreds of thousands, and there is no fear that no guests will come to the door."

When Bai Shu said this idea halfway, Xie Huaiyu's eyes lit up.

The shopkeeper is also very experienced. Although he can't think of a good idea, he is not an ignorant person.After hearing Bai Shu finished speaking, he said excitedly: "Xiao Langjun, your idea is really good, it must be worth 1000 taels of silver. Wait a minute, my boss happened to be in the store today. Just go and pass a message, and bring you the bank note."

The shopkeeper left in a hurry, went to the inner courtyard of the store, and found a brother who was checking the accounts inside.

"Little boss, little boss." The shopkeeper opened the door and came in, and reported to the brother: "Just now, a diner in a restaurant came up with a brilliant idea, which can be of great use."

The brother raised his head, raised his eyebrows impatiently, and his face was very cold.It was none other than Wan Ruyi who had been saved once by Bai Shu.

This Yixianfang was opened under the name of Wanruyi, but unfortunately it has been open for more than half a year, but the business has been extremely bleak.Even the initial investment in repairing the storefront and labor costs were not earned.

That's why Wankang came up with an idea for Wan Ruyi, asking him to spend a lot of money to recruit opinions from various parties to see if there is a good way to bring the restaurant back to life.

It's just that these days, many diners have heard that there is money to take, and they have raised a lot of opinions, but none of them are worth using.

If Wanjia hadn't felt the pressure from above in recent years, and felt that their seafood business might not last long, they might have closed the restaurant long ago.

Hearing that the shopkeeper said that he had a useful idea, Wan Ruyi said: "Talk to me slowly, and if the idea is really useful, I will reward that person with a thousand taels of silver."

So the shopkeeper relayed what Bai Shu told him to Wan Ruyi.

Wan Ruyi didn't expect much from the shopkeeper's idea.My own Wan family is already one of the best businessmen in the world, and no one can think of an idea that even they can't think of.

But when he listened to the idea from the shopkeeper, he became more and more excited the more he listened, until the shopkeeper finished speaking, his eyes gathered light, and he clapped his hands together and said: "Wonderful, such a good idea is more than a thousand taels. Now you are ready for 2000 taels of silver, and I want to meet that guest with you in person."

When Wan Ruyi went out to meet guests, she didn't want to reveal her brother's identity, so she used a forehead wipe to cover the red mole on her forehead to conceal her identity.

Because of what happened last time, there are even more guards around him when he goes out.In addition to the two servants, there are four guards.Together with the store manager, a large group of people mighty.

He followed the shopkeeper to the second floor, and saw a table of guests sitting by the window.

There were three guests at that table, one of them was obviously dressed differently from the other two, and his temperament was very luxurious.

However, Wan Ruyi's first glance did not fall on the luxurious man, but directly landed on another young man wearing a forehead wipe, and his slightly raised beautiful eyes widened. .

And the two servants behind him also opened their eyes wide and looked at each other with a trace of joy on their faces.

Isn't that young man wearing a forehead wipe the young hero that the young master couldn't find?

At this time, the shopkeeper said to Wan Ruyi: "Little boss, that gentleman with a forehead wipe over there is the one who came up with the idea this time."

Wan Ruyi immediately blushed when she heard the words.This young hero and himself are really destined, whenever he encounters difficulties, he will save him.

So he made two steps in three steps, and walked in front of Bai Shu, before the other party could react, he bowed and said: "My lord, I haven't seen you for a long time, I finally found you!"

Wan Ruyi's words stunned both Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu.

Xie Huaiyu glanced at Baishu, and couldn't help sizing up the young man in front of him.

This young man was dressed gorgeously. Although he was wearing a forehead wipe, his bones were petite and his outline was soft. He was obviously a brother.And from what he said, it seemed that he knew Bai Shu and had been looking for him for a long time.

Bai Shu felt that the young man looked familiar to him, then raised his head to look at the two servants behind the young man, and suddenly realized.

Isn't this boy just the brother I saved that day, and gave him a hundred taels of silver bills.

He was afraid that Xie Huaiyu would get angry that day, so he didn't tell the whole story. He didn't expect to meet this brother here again, who is the owner of this restaurant.

Bai Shu was afraid that the other party would talk fast, so he told about the events of that day.Therefore, he stepped forward and said: "Little brother, so you are the owner of this restaurant, and I don't know if the idea I mentioned is applicable?"

"It's suitable, of course it's very useful." Wan Ruyi said immediately, took the 2000 tael silver note from the shopkeeper, handed it to Bai Shu himself and said: "Here is the 2000 tael silver note, because the young master's idea is extremely Alright, so the 2000 taels belong to the young master, please accept it."

After receiving 2000 taels of silver all of a sudden, Bai Shu couldn't help showing joy on his face.Because he exchanged the money with ideas, he didn't refuse, but took it directly.

It's not that he was fooling around, if this restaurant used his idea, it would earn more than a thousand taels a month, so even if this brother gave him an extra 1000 taels, it was only what he deserved.

When Bai Shu took the bank note, he accidentally touched Wan Ruyi's finger.

Bai Shu didn't realize it, but Wan Ruyi's face flushed with embarrassment, and her eyes flickered at Bai Shu, a little more shy.

Seeing that Bai Shu had accepted the bank note, he asked Ai Ai expectantly, "Young master, I don't know how to call him..."

Xie Huaiyu sat on the side, watching the two brothers in front of him talking, for some reason, he always felt a little depressed.

It's not that he is sentimental, wherever he goes on weekdays, the eyes of those brothers and girls do not fall on others.

But today this guy has been staring at Bai Shu, his eyes are a little weird.

"My surname is Bai." Bai Shu said.

"It turns out that the surname is Bai, which is really a good surname. The young master behaves like a surname, which is very admirable." Wan Ruyi said.

Xiaoshu opened his eyes wide, feeling like his jaw would drop.

He originally thought that his young master's praise of Bai Shu every day was just in response to the saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it was already very nasty, but this brother in front of him was obviously better than his young master.

Daxuanchao's Bai surname is a common surname, and when he walked out on the street, he randomly arrested ten people and at least two of them had the surname Bai. He didn't expect that just one surname could make him boast like this in different ways.

Bai Shu had never been praised like this before, and felt very embarrassed.

After boasting Bai Shu, the little brother introduced himself: "My surname is Wan, and my name is Ruyi. If Mr. Bai doesn't see you, just call me Ruyi."

After Wan Ruyi finished speaking, Xie Huaiyu's mind flashed like lightning, and finally figured out why Wan Ruyi's attitude towards Bai Shu made him feel weird.

This Wan Ruyi has always been called Mr. Bai Shu Bai, obviously he doesn't know that Bai Shu is a brother.However, he, a brother, actually asked Bai Shu to call him by his boudoir name directly. I'm afraid he thought Bai Shu was a man, so please be happy with him!

As soon as he figured this out, Xie Huaiyu's face turned ugly.

Although Bai Shu is also a brother and will never have anything to do with Na Wan Ruyi, but it still makes him very upset that the person he has already taken a fancy to is also taken by another person.

Xie Huaiyu couldn't help but glanced at Bai Shu, and saw that he was wearing a forehead wiper to cover up the red mole, and he looked really handsome, making people yearn for him, and he couldn't blame those brothers for falling in love with him.

He thought about it, since he knew Bai Shu, it was only more than a month, Bai Shu was first proposed by Wang Mu, and then harassed by Li Sanlang.

Because he was afraid that Bai Shu would be embarrassing in Fucheng, he specially asked him to wear a forehead wipe to hide his brother's identity, but he didn't expect that even his brother fell in love with him!

The person I fancy is too good, that's why I have such troubles.

Xie Huaiyu secretly thought in his heart that he had to be more careful in the future, and he must not be deceived by others!

"Ahem——" Xie Huaiyu coughed twice, stood up and said to Bai Shu, "Bai Shu, it's past noon, and I'm tired, since I've got the reward, why don't I go back now."

Bai Shu heard that Xie Huaiyu was tired, why would he delay, and immediately said: "Then let's go now, anyway, there is nothing wrong now."

When Wan Ruyi heard that Bai Shu was leaving soon, her face was filled with disappointment, and she couldn't help but give the young man in brocade clothes a hard look.

Apart from his name, he still doesn't know anything about Baishu. If he let him go this time, where will he find him next time?

Ever since Bai Shu rescued him last time, Wan Ruyi has taken her own heart, and the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that Bai Shu is the heroic gentleman who saves the beauty written in the storybook.

Even the sons of the family that the eldest brother introduced to him, he didn't like any of them.

At that time, his elder brother looked down on Bai Shu and said that he would never marry him to a poor boy with no money, but if Bai Shu had a business mind, his elder brother might not necessarily object.

Thinking of this, Wan Ruyi felt that she had to know the address of Young Master Bai no matter what, so as to have further contact with him.So he rolled his eyes, chased after Bai Shu and said, "Master Bai, please go slowly. It's just about your idea, I still don't understand something, I don't know where I can ask for advice in the future?"

"Let's go quickly, my head seems to be hurting for some reason." Before Bai Shu could answer, Xie Huaiyu said immediately, and put a hand on Bai Zhu's shoulder to block between him and Wan Ruyi.

Xie Huaiyu has a headache!Bai Shu was startled, anxiously and nervously picked up Xie Huaiyu, and ran towards the pier, not paying attention to what Wan Ruyi said behind her.

"Hey..." Wan Ruyi stretched out a hand behind her with a gloomy expression, watching Bai Shu run out of Yixianfang with the young man in brocade in her arms, no matter how much she tried to stop her, she couldn't catch up.

"Hurry up and find me! See where they are going!" Wan Ruyi stomped her foot and asked her guards to go out and find someone.

But a quarter of an hour later, the guards came back to report. They searched outside for a long time, only to see that Mr. Bai and the other two boarded the boat, and they had already sailed away from the shore, and they could not catch up again.

On the boat, Bai Shu looked at Xie Huaiyu who suddenly became energetic again with concern, and said, "Are you all right now? Do you want to go to the cabin to rest? Why do you suddenly have a headache?"

Xie Huaiyu waved his hands, and said nonsense calmly: "It's done, maybe I was bored in the restaurant just now. Speaking of which, the restaurant's flavor is nothing more than that, the air is not good, so don't go there next time. "

Xiaoshu: "..."

They were obviously sitting by the window just now!

He has been with the young master for eight years, no matter how stupid he is, he can see that the young master was just acting.

The young master actually lied to little brother Bai that he had a headache, and let him run off in the street with him in his arms...

My young master is the most respectable person, but ever since he fell in love with this little brother Bai, he has changed so much that he almost doesn't know him anymore!

Xiaoshu felt that she was not well...
