Chapter 17 God said let there be light
From the outside, it looked like an ordinary small tavern. The interior was also very simple. Perhaps because the people who often gathered here were just common townspeople, they didn't care much about superficial things. Mei Niang led Qi Xi to sit down at a table by the window and also called for two small jugs of wine and some snacks to be brought up. Then she started chatting with Qi Xi.
Mei Niang is a person who likes to laugh, and when chatting with her, you can often hear her bright laughter. Only then did Qi Xian realize that Mei Niang had found a good husband and would be leaving Sha Zhou soon. Qi Xian immediately reacted, thinking that the heavens were indeed still taking care of her, first by letting her meet Tou Niu, and now by giving her an immortal: "No Drunken Return" seems to be doing well too, how could Boss Mei bear to close the shop? Isn't it better to stay in Sha Zhou than to go somewhere else and start over again?
"These things, we women can't be in charge of. Wherever my husband goes, that's where my home is. As for not getting drunk and returning, I've already figured it out. That person seems to be planning to open a wine shop too, so those neighbors won't lose a place to drink either."
When Mei Niang replied like this, Qi Xie's words that had already reached the tip of his tongue were swallowed back again. He said some congratulatory words to Mei Niang and took his leave. It seems that expanding the territory is not going smoothly. The stubborn cow at Yao Cai Pu doesn't seem to have any room for negotiation. Although Mei Niang's Wu Zui Wu Gui has been transferred to someone else, from whatever angle you look at it, the difficulty of taking it down seems to be lower than that of Yao Cai Pu.
That night, a piece of business intelligence was immediately presented to Qi's hands. Sima was indeed a talented person; if placed in the previous life, he would have been a backbone of the CIA. This was an intelligence report about Tang Chou Niu's pharmaceutical company. It was hard to imagine that such a small and quiet pharmacy could be responsible for supplying precious medicinal materials to all major pharmacies in the city. From Zeng Gan Jing, it was learned that these pharmacies were industries monopolized by the Zhu family. Tang Chou Niu was able to achieve this only because there was one possibility: he was a man of Master Zhu, and his shop was Master Zhu's shop. No wonder he didn't buy her account at all.
She was able to take down the West Sixth Street so easily, and Mr. Zhu helped a little, so in the eyes of everyone, Qiuliu became someone who had some connection with Mr. Zhu, and many things were also taken into consideration for Mr. Zhu. Although Mr. Zhu is Qiuliu's suspected enemy, but for Qiuliu, the name of Mr. Zhu can sometimes be borrowed and used, but unexpectedly, Tang Chou Niu ridiculed her instead.
Master Zhu, Xiao Bai? As soon as she thought that Xiao Bai might be the legendary Master Zhu, Qiuxi couldn't help but break out in cold sweat behind her back. Had she been played like a monkey all along? Although she really wanted to rush up to Xiao Bai and ask him clearly, her rationality told her that it was better to keep a distance from that person.
Since quitting her job at Guangyuan Pu, Qi Xi felt that she was getting closer to her ideal life. Although she could sleep in and wake up naturally, she still didn't have enough money to count it all without getting hand cramps, unless she exchanged all the silver coins she had stored at Hui Feng Money House for copper coins. On this day, Qi Xi happened to want to go see the results of Xiao Lan's female employee training, and calculated that the staff uniforms she had ordered from Hong Niangzi should have arrived today.
Don't look at Xiao Lan's timid appearance, when it comes to teaching people, she is not ambiguous at all. Although a few days are fundamentally unable to completely change a person, at least these women have practiced the smile and service of sincere hospitality to 80 or 90%. At first, I was worried that ancient women would be more unacceptable to the employee uniform, which seemed strange to them. Who knew that they were overjoyed when they saw the clothes sent by Hong Niangzi? In fact, this is just a modified version of the cheongsam. Qiuli has always felt that the cheongsam is the most able to reflect the oriental female curve beauty clothing, and she is also a fan of the buttons. Those exquisite buttons are also one of the reasons why she loves cheongsam. Unfortunately, whether it was her previous life or now, some parts of her body were not fully developed, even if she wore a cheongsam, she couldn't wear out that charm.
This batch of goods was personally delivered by Hong Niangzi. When she saw several women change into this dress, her eyes lit up: "Qī Gūniáng is indeed a clever and resourceful person! Next time if there's anything else to be done, just leave it to us 'Cloud Thinking Container' to do." Hong Niangzi's eyes rolled over, and Qī Lǚ knew what she was thinking. In ancient times, there were no patent protection laws, so business people had to think on their feet. Hong Niangzi must have been thinking of copying this style to make clothes to sell herself. After all, Liu Qiuli was never one to do free work for others.
"Actually, Qi Xi has a business deal he'd like to discuss with Hong Niangzi."
。。。。。。
This side had just finished talking to Hong Niangzi, and the other side of the shop suddenly emerged a figure. The shop assistants would no longer treat him as a guest, seeing him come in only greeted him with a nod before each went about their own business. It was none other than Gan Jing, who would often drop by Dayang Department Store whenever he had time, every time under the guise of "happening to pass by" and offering free consultations on various Gan family businesses to Qi Xian. However, today he came for another matter.
"Master Jing has arrived again today, what's the matter? I'll be leaving soon. Is it still New Year's Day today?"
"You're always thinking about food, can't you think of anything else? If you keep eating like this, I'm really worried that you'll have trouble getting married in the future."
"If I, this young lady, cannot get married, then I will continue to be a nuisance to you, big brother. For the sake of your lifelong happiness, it's best if you wish me well in finding a suitable husband soon."
"You little demon, you're really a little demon." They left the shop in a noisy and quarrelsome manner. Gan Jing followed behind, looking at Qi Xian's back, shaking his head slightly. If you can torment me for a lifetime, I am also willing.
What Gan Jing said was completely beyond Qi Xie's expectations. They had just stepped out of the threshold of the Pacific Ocean, turned around and entered the door of a small tavern on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Mei Niang quickly came up to greet them, and as soon as she did, she gave Gan Jing a flirtatious look: "Oh, it's Young Master Jing! You didn't have to rush over to collect the bill, did you?" She smiled lightly and wrapped herself around Gan Jing like a vine, completely unlike her innocent demeanor when talking to Qi Xie earlier. Which one was the real her?
"Hmm, no rush, I just came to take a look today, Manager Mei can just focus on his own business." Gan Jing seemed to have zero interest in this beauty, in Qi Xie's impression, besides his mother, there didn't seem to be any other women around him. Could it be that he was gay? But what surprised Qi Xie even more than this bold guess was that the person who had bought this tavern from Mei's hands was actually Gan Jing.
Perhaps seeing the doubt in Qi Xun's eyes, Gan Jing also smiled slightly: "You're not always complaining that my new wine is inferior, now I'd like to see what kind of wine you can make with a winery."
At this moment, Qi Xian suddenly felt a little dazed. Maybe it was because of what she said when she got drunk one day about opening a winery. She didn't expect that just for that sentence, Gan Jing actually really bought a wine house down the street. At this time, how did she have a kind of floating feeling? God said let there be light, and then there was light. Qi Xian said she wanted to open a wine house, and then across the ocean, next door, there was a home that belonged to her wine house.
