Xu Qing really didn't expect that the two children in the prince's family, one a homeboy and the other a homegirl, knew nothing...
You still have to go out and find a shop.
Choosing a shop is very particular.
It is necessary to combine geographical factors, human factors and economic factors.
Just like on Xu Qing Street, why is there no bookstore on West Street?
Most of the people living here are illiterate, there are very few scholars, and their incomes are generally not high.
It is estimated that Xu Qing's current monthly income is already the ceiling on this street.
A book is not very cheap, and it is not easy for ordinary people to afford one.
Moreover, when material food is scarce, will you still consider buying spiritual food?
And because it is not in the center of Yongzhou City, the people living there naturally cannot connect with the center of Yongzhou City.
With both quality and quantity of the population at a double low, which bookseller would open a shop in a place like this?
If you open the book store here, you can lose money and lose your pants...
But it is not easy to find a place with good geography and feng shui, and the rent is certainly not cheap.
When looking for a shop, you usually go to Yahang. Yahang was equivalent to the intermediary in Xu Qing's era, and they were able to turn rough houses into villas with sea views.
Human body beauty camera.
So, you can go to them, but just listen to what they say. Whoever believes it is a fool.
So Xu Qing asked Xiao Ruxue to collect all the money collected by the three people on the table, and then went out.
After crossing two streets and arriving at the entrance of Ya's store, Yaren saw that both of them were wearing clothes made of silk and satin. He immediately smiled and accepted the offer enthusiastically.
It’s just... why did the two young nobles only bring one servant?
There were people inside who had prepared their seats early.
After Xiao Ruxue walked in, she pulled Xu Qing to a seat: "You contribute, you sit here."
Then he said to himself: "I pay and I sit here."
Finally, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Ye and said matter-of-factly: "You contribute the least and pay the least. You can find a seat by yourself..."
These words shocked most people in Jiangya. They had always thought that the handsome man in white cloth was a follower or something. But now it seems that his status is not that simple!
Although Xiao Ye was unhappy, he could not refute Xiao Ruxue's words...
Then he looked at Yaren and said in a dull voice: "Didn't you see there are three of us!?"
Xu Qing stood up and said, "How about Brother Xiao sit here."
Xiao Ye pressed Xu Qing down again and said: "Brother Xu, please sit down. I'm angry that this mere Yahang store doesn't have any hospitality at all! Do you still want to open here in Yongzhou?"
The Yaren on the side suddenly became excited, what is the background of this man?
He is dressed in extraordinary clothes and has a calm and authoritative temperament in his actions. Could it be that he is a child of some aristocratic family?
They didn't dare to say it, and they didn't dare to ask it either.
So they quickly moved a seat, served cakes and tea, and even smiled and apologized.
The humble attitude calmed down Xiao Ye's anger a little.
The corner screen.
A man who didn't look very old looked at the old master beside him and said, "Master, that man looks so arrogant. Is he really someone with a strong background?"
The old master shook his head and said: "I don't know..."
The Yaman asked again: "Then why does the master still treat these people with such respect?"
The old master looked at the young tooth man and said, "Then do you know that these people must be pretending to be wealthy?"
The tooth man shook his head: "I can't be sure."
The old master said: "Since we can't be sure, why not be humble to them? If they are just pretending to be powerful, we have nothing to lose. If they are really the children of a rich family, this may save your life!"
The young man nodded thoughtfully: "Master, you are very considerate."
The old master said: "This is the valuable experience accumulated by the previous generations of Yaxing, and it is worth gold! Don't look at that young man wearing just common clothes. Let me tell you, there used to be the kind of rich kids who loved to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers.
, if you offend someone, they might kill you with a backhand, so be careful, the doorway in Yaxing is very deep, and you have a lot to learn."
The young man hurriedly smiled and said: "Hey, yes... yes."
…
another place
An experienced-looking man stood by and carefully asked the two of them their purpose.
Xu Qing looked at Na Yaren and said: "We need to find a shop in a good location, with a lot of customers on weekdays, and preferably with people who have read books."
After thinking for a while, the man from Ya said: "Oh, this guest is here by chance. We happen to have a shop here with a good location, wonderful scenery, and is located in a busy city. As for the guests, there is no need to worry! And the shop is fully decorated.
If that family hadn't moved their whole family to the capital, they wouldn't have rented it out for a mere two hundred and twenty years."
In fact, no matter whether it is such a coincidence or not, you have to say this just to make the guests feel that they have earned something.
After hearing this, Xiao Ye immediately said: "Why don't you take us to see it quickly!"
The Yaman quickly bowed and said: "Okay, I will lead the way for these guests. These three distinguished guests are here to invite you."
After saying that, he led the three of them out.
After walking through several streets, Xu Qing felt more and more familiar as he walked, and finally frowned at a certain moment... Isn't this the street where he delivers manuscripts to Kaiyuan Bookstore?!
Then, Xu Qing and the others were led by Na Ya to the opposite side of Kaiyuan Bookstore...
Na Ya said: "Three distinguished guests, this shop is not only fully decorated, but also has tables and chairs ready-made. It is convenient for the three guests to do whatever they want, and it only costs two hundred taels.
It’s quite affordable!”
There is also a small courtyard behind this shop near the street, where people can also live in it on weekdays.
Moreover, it is closer to the palace, so it is convenient for Xiao Ye and Xiao Ruxue to commute to get off work.
Xiao Ye nodded and said: "Then..."
At this moment, Xu Qing pulled Xiao Ye, looked around and said: "Why are the corners of the floor in this shop still warped? When you walk up, it makes a creaking sound. Do you dare to say that this is a well-decorated place?"
?”
Then he hung it on the wall casually, and couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, how come the wall that looks good starts to fall powder when you touch it? How inferior is the lime powder you use? We can't re-purchase it after we buy it.
Whitewash it up? Otherwise, customers would just turn around and leave when they see such a simple shop, right?"
Then he looked at the table and said: "This table is also uneven. Why is there a corner of the table legs missing? Is this the complete decoration and complete decoration you promised?"
Xiao Ye on the side also frowned, looked at the tooth man and said coldly: "You are so brave, you actually fooled us like this?!"
As he said that, he picked up the man's collar and started to do it.
The man suddenly broke into a cold sweat: "This guest, this guest...please listen to my explanation. If you dare to do something in public, you will be prosecuted..."
