As he was thinking about it, he saw Bai Zhu carrying a tray with four colors of dishes walking towards him.

Among them, there are two stir-fried dishes, one deep-fried, one stewed, with a combination of meat and vegetables, delicious and fragrant, and beautiful in color.

"This is made by the cook I hired. I tasted it and it's okay." Bai Shu said, "It's just that I'm not that particular about food, and I'm far less knowledgeable than you. Can you help me taste it?"

Xie Huaiyu smiled slightly, nodded, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.

What he tasted was a boat duck in female oil. The whole duck was put into an earthen pot, and then poured into the female oil to simmer.

The cook made some improvements. He stuffed mustard, pork shreds, chives and other things into the duck belly. The ingredients were mixed together to make the duck delicious and fragrant. With a light grip, the duck meat on the outside will be shredded. The silk is rotten.

"The taste is not bad." Xie Huaiyu took a sip, nodded and said, "Uncle Xie loves this dish. Xie's mansion in the capital also makes it often. The taste is similar to this, but Xie's family has it The duck bones will be removed from both sides to make it more palatable, you might as well ask the cook to improve it. After all, if you want to do business for noble people, everything should be more complete."

Bai Shu hummed, remembering Xie Huaiyu's words in his heart.Then he picked up the remaining three dishes one after another for him to taste and evaluate them one by one.

After shopkeeper Yan and the others finished their meal, they wandered around for a while before going back.

They have something to do, this time they came here specially to support Bai Shu, and they didn't come to stay at the hotel.

Bai Shu sent people to the door, and was praised by shopkeeper Yan and the others.

To put it bluntly, I have never seen the scenery of this mountain villa in my life. It is truly a paradise. After they go back, they will help Baishu to promote it well.

After everyone had left, the villa also returned to desertion. In such a large garden, only half of Xie Huaiyu's guests were left.

Although Xie Huaiyu came here as a guest, he is actually a shareholder and cannot be regarded as a serious guest.

The two workers were bored, so they went to the garden to take care of the flowers and plants and trim the branches and leaves.

And Chen Dongqing and Xiao Shu cleaned up the leftover dishes on the table and took them to the back kitchen to clean.

Bai Shu took Xie Huaiyu to wander around the garden, and went to the back mountain to feed the deer, and spent half a day at leisure.

It's just that in the second half of the day, no one came to the door, as if the bustle before was an illusion, this solitude is real.

With such a sluggish business, even Bai Shu was a little depressed.

The maintenance of this villa cost a lot of money.Just the many ingredients he had prepared today would be ruined if he couldn't finish them.

Baitang Village is not a busy city, so there is no passenger flow like Fucheng.

No matter how well this village is built, the smell of wine is afraid of deep alleys.Just relying on word of mouth from old customers, it is not possible to become famous in a day or two.

Xie Huaiyu seemed to see Bai Shu's frustration, so he comforted him and said, "Don't worry, unless it's in a busy market, it will be like this from the beginning. It will take half a year, and more people will know about it. Business will improve."

When the Lai Fu Lou in the county town first opened, the location was not very good, and it took more than half a year before it became profitable.

What's more, Baishu Zhuangzi is really quite innovative.

What automatic toilet, automatic bath tub, so many new gadgets, convenient and easy to use, unheard of.

Even he, who claims to have a lot of knowledge, wants to do something wrong in his own home after seeing him.

It's a pity that the Xie family's old house didn't lay the foundation in advance, and didn't pre-bury the sewer pipes, so it can only be done when he returns to the capital and separates the house.

Xie Huaiyu is not in a hurry, but Bai Shu wants to make money quickly, but he has to be in a hurry.

As Xie Huaiyu said, after half a year, word of mouth will tell that this Baiyu Villa will definitely become famous.

But half a year is really too long, he has been delaying Baishu for several months, but he doesn't want to wait any longer.

Seeing that Bai Shu could not be persuaded, Xie Huaiyu simply rented an upper room and said he would stay there for ten days.

It costs a hundred taels of silver to stay in the upper house of Baiyu Villa for one night.

Xie Huaiyu has contracted it for ten days, even 1000 taels of silver can solve Baishu's urgent needs.

Then he wanted to write again, and wrote a letter to Qi Qinyue and Zhao Liang, inviting them to come and play.

Xie Huaiyu's own business, even if it was not good at the beginning, he still saved himself slowly, relying on himself to get over it bit by bit.

This time for Bai Shu, he made an exception and asked his friends for help without hesitation.

Bai Shu saw Xie Huaiyu's actions in his eyes, and was moved and angry at the same time.

He hated himself for being useless, and at times like this, he had to rely on Xie Huaiyu for help.

Xie's family is only half a mile away from Baiyu Mountain Villa. As a shareholder, Xie Huaiyu can live in without paying anything.

He acted like this purely to support himself.And this Zhuangzi of his own was clearly opened for him.

The next day, Bai Shu returned Xie Huaiyu's money.

Xie Huaiyu can stay as long as he wants, but he will not take any of his money.

Bai Shu began to think about the propaganda methods he had seen in Zongxing, to see if they could be applied to the Xuan Dynasty.

The technology of Zombie Star is advanced, and there are many ways of publicity.

In addition to the dazzling advertisements in optical networks and communicators, there are also various soft texts embedded.After a frantic bombardment, people can quickly receive information.

However, in the Xuan Dynasty, not to mention the network and communication equipment, there were no traditional advertising posters.All publicity can only rely on people's word of mouth, and the speed of publicity on Zongxing can be described as the difference between a rocket and a snail.

Bai Shu doesn't expect to be able to ride a rocket in an environment like Daxuan, as long as he can turn a snail into a scalper, or even a horse, he will be satisfied.

Zuo Zhuangzi has no business now, so Bai Shu cleaned up and went to Fucheng in time.

He went to Fucheng to find inspiration, but he didn't go to those prosperous places.

There is no shortage of people in the bustling place, as long as there is a shop there, there is no shortage of business, and there is no problem.

Bai Shu made some inquiries this time, and found some places where the business is prosperous but not very prosperous.

The shops that can be built there must have their own uniqueness, which is more worthy of his learning.

The first shop Bai Shu visited was a teahouse.

The teahouse is not very big, it is located on a somewhat desolate street.That street used to be the center of Fucheng, but after Baiquan Street was repaired, it was squeezed down, and the shops on the roadside were also closed.

This teahouse is now located alone in this street, but its business is still booming.

Bai Shu could see from a distance that many people surrounded the store entrance.When I walked in, I saw that the store was even more crowded. It turned out that there was a stage in the store, and a storyteller was standing on it, talking about a play.

Bai Shu walked into the shop and ordered a bowl of tea worth [-] Wen.

The tea is not delicious, and the price is not cheap.But after he drank a few sips, he saw that the storyteller was talking about something wonderful, some people in the crowd applauded and stood up, cheering one after another, and many people threw silver and copper coins to the lower edge of the stage.

Seeing this scene, Bai Shu had an idea.I have some ideas in my mind.

It's just that he stood still and continued to listen to the story.After listening, he got up and left, and went to the second place.

When arriving at the second shop, Bai Shu also went in to spend some money just like the first one. After sitting for a while, he slowly realized the attractiveness of this shop.

After visiting five or six shops in this way, Bai Shu gained some understanding in each of them.

When Bai Shu returned home, he collected his thoughts and found a suitable way of publicity.

There were no entertainment methods in the Great Xuan Dynasty, and most people were bored.Either listen to people's storytelling and singing, or look at picture books and scrolls.

If you are in a rich family, you can't show your elegance like those ordinary people.

They either arrange flowers and burn incense, or recite poems and compose Fu, and hold tea parties and receptions from time to time, inviting some literati and refined scholars to come together to show their talents.

Bai Shu was sure of this point, and wanted to find some literati to help him promote it.

When he returned to Zhuangzi, he first asked someone to inquire about all the famous literati in a radius of a hundred miles.

They sent out invitations one by one, inviting them to come to the villa for free.

Bai Shu also carefully designed the invitation card that was sent out, and he didn't just write a few words at will and send it away.

He specially invited a scholar from the county town who was good at calligraphy and painting, and chose rice paper with gold leaf, and asked the scholar to paint the scenery of Baiyu Mountain Villa on the rice paper, and put on beautiful thin gold characters.Just put it in the invitation envelope.

After doing all this, Bai Shu went to Fucheng to find the storyteller.

He gave the storyteller ten taels of silver and asked him to help him promote Baiyu Villa while storytelling.

If a guest came to the door and said that he came here after hearing his recommendation, Bai Shu would give him a commission of one tael of silver.

The storyteller is very shrewd, he agreed right away, and even made a written statement.

When I went to storytelling again, I quietly added this Baiyu Mountain Villa into the story, sometimes it was the place where the talented and the beautiful met, and sometimes it was the place where the strong man made a comeback.

I only heard everyone talking about it, and I don't know where this Baiyu Villa is.

If a guest asked about it from the audience, the storyteller would not say anything, but said mysteriously: "The Baiyu Villa is not too far away from the Fucheng, but it is only in a village on the outskirts of the county dozens of miles away. If you If you are curious, why don’t you go and see for yourself, and you will know.”

This soft publicity is really powerful. In just a few days, all the people who listened to the book in this prefecture knew that there was a Baiyu Villa in Baitang Village on the edge of the county.

A few days later, there really was a curious half-grown boy who specially brought some friends to Baitang Village just to find Baiyu Villa.

They walked into the village, and after a little inquiry, someone showed the way and told the direction of the White Jade Villa.

Going forward for half a mile, you can see patches of maple trees like blossoming red clouds, surrounding a Zhuangzi, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

"Wow! There are so many maple leaves covering the entire mountain, this is the first time I've seen it!"

"No wonder the storyteller said that Luo Yingying and Song Erlang were here to make love. Such beautiful scenery is indeed something that people yearn for. If there is another beautiful woman here at this time, it will surely lead to a beautiful marriage."

"Isn't that the king's hero also developed his fighting spirit here, and then made a comeback, killed him and returned, and his revenge will be avenged."

"Such a magnificent scenery really inspires people's ambitions. Looking at these red leaves, I seem to have a lot of ambitions in my heart."

Several half-grown teenagers came to the gate of the villa, and were shocked by the wide lintel again.

When they saw the plaque hanging on it, a few big characters in running script were written in a natural and unrestrained manner, and they were in awe, thinking that the person who could write such handwriting must be extraordinary, and the owner might be a famous literati.

These few people were originally the sons of ordinary merchants, and their families were fairly well-to-do, but they were not the children of the rich and powerful.

Seeing such a villa at this time, the whole person was shocked.

Several of them stood at the door for a long time, pushing and shoving each other, but no one dared to go forward to call the door.

"Such an amazing place...I'm afraid it's not something ordinary people can get in..." One of the young men said hesitantly: "If the door is kicked out after a while, it will be embarrassing, or we can just take a look outside here." right?"

"What is it?" The leading boy said, "Don't forget about Shen Li. He just went to the capital and came back from a visit to the capital recently, but he was very proud of seeing a temple fair to worship the moon. How can we be fooled by him? Competitive? You dare not call the door, I will call!"

After finishing speaking, the boy took a step forward, took a deep breath, and knocked heavily on the gate of Baiyu Villa a few times.

Not long after, a brother in a blue cloth shirt opened the door. When he saw them, his face was stunned, and he bowed with a smile and said, "Are the young masters here to fight or stay in the hotel? Please come in quickly. "
