With the advent of winter, the merchants who come and go with Chang'an have become scarce, and the business of shops has entered the off-season one after another, and the same is true of the state capitals.

However, there are still some businesses that are only good in winter.

A large number of rock sugar gourds are placed outside a restaurant in Chang'an City.

The name of the restaurant is very straightforward, Chengnan Restaurant.

The shopkeeper is Huachen from Taiyuan Mansion, and it has been two years since the Chengnan Restaurant was opened to Chang'an, and the store in Taiyuan Mansion has been handed over to others to take care of.

He came to Chang'an with his family, few people knew that this was discussed with Li De, and at the same time, the Chengnan Restaurant was also the most secret safe house that Red Peony spyed to.

The method of making the ice rink gourd is very simple, but no one has succeeded so far, because other people do not have snow-white cane sugar in their hands, and they can't make this taste with stove sugar.

The sugar gourd operated by Huachen was not made by himself, but was provided by a caravan from Youzhou, and this provision did not mean that he used Youzhou to transport Gulai every time.

In that case, how much can be transported back and forth throughout the winter.

It was a person from Youzhou Commercial House who specialized in making sugar gourds and ran a workshop in Chang'an that specialized in making sugar gourds and other foods.

This kind of thing can't be hidden from anyone, and the purpose of the Youzhou Commercial Bank is not to use this kind of open workshop to conduct information exchanges, the real purpose is very simple, that is, to make more money.

The sugar gourds in Huachen's Chengnan Restaurant are wholesaled from the workshop, not only his family, but also many shops will wholesale sugar gourds to sell in winter, and the wholesale prices are the same.

"Shopkeeper Hua, when you are still alone outside watching the stall on a cold day, isn't it okay to leave this kind of thing to your subordinates?"

The shopkeeper of the cloth shop next to him came out of the door and looked outside, just when he saw Huachen ignoring the care in front of the stall, so he opened his mouth to chat a few words.

The cloth in the winter did not sell very well, and the robes were bought by the rich and noble, and everyone wore them in the winter, and the poor people did not often have new clothes and boats.

However, the business of the cloth shop enters the off-season and returns to the off-season, and when it can't stand the peak season, these even the principal and profits can be earned back, and chatting has become the habit of the shopkeeper of the cloth shop.

"Why are you idle again, haven't been busy lately, I heard that the cloth business in Youzhou City is booming, why don't you try it over there?" Hua Chen said.

"Youzhou's business is so good, why don't you go to the flower shopkeeper?" The shopkeeper said.

"I have relatives in Chang'an, and I don't have that mind when I go to Youzhou, and now that the small shop has opened, the business can be maintained, so let's just get by, Youzhou is more suitable for young people and courageous people." Huachen Road.

"Who said no, if I hadn't been born in Chang'an, my family would have wanted to see it, and I heard that the businessmen who opened the shop are treated well." The shopkeeper lowered his voice.

"Seeing is believing and hearing is false, everything has to be seen with your own eyes, otherwise how do you know that it is not Mongolian, and Youzhou is not particularly far away, you see that many merchants do not always run over there, if you add cloth dyed well, you can give it a try." Huachen Road.

While the two were talking, they saw a caravan coming.

Li De's eyes are so good that when he sees people coming towards the restaurant, he knows that there is business coming to the door, and it is not unusual for there to be caravans in winter, but it is also quite enviable to the shopkeeper of the cloth shop.

There are not many merchants coming and going in Chang'an City in winter, but from time to time there are some who brave the snow to make hard-earned money.

Hua Chen took a look at the scale of the convoy, more than a dozen large cars, the backyard of the Chengnan Restaurant can be parked, and the horses are led to the closed stables.

More than a dozen carts really occupy a lot of space, but fortunately, the restaurant has been prepared.

"A few people objectively eat wine or live in a hotel, and the restaurant has a room." Hua Chen introduced.

"Just prepare an ordinary guest room for us, and the money and grain said that we can take a break and stay forever when we come all the way from Gangneung."

Hua Chen accepted the money, registered the money, and immediately ordered the shopkeeper to serve the wine and food.

The drinks and dishes ordered are all cheap and affordable, such as large bowls of noodles, the price is cheap, even if the five big and three thick men eat three bowls, they will not be hungry for two days.

As the name suggests, the big bowl of noodles is the taste of white noodles and the carefully blended lo mein, and the one that more than 30 people eat is called a fragrant.

I can see the hard work of these businessmen who make hard-earned money.

"Dare to ask where the objective fight came from?"

Huachen didn't have anything to do while greeting everyone, and didn't forget to ask, this is not intentional, it has long been a habit to run an inn all year round, or how to say that the restaurant is the best place to inquire about the news.

When chatting, you will know where the other person is calling, where they are going, and what they are doing.

Businessmen like to chat, but Huachen found that these people were a little weird, although the businessmen dressed like each other, they were fundamentally inconsistent.

Businessmen are calculating, this may not be because of stinginess, but the kind of businessman in the bones is very cautious about the use of money, and then look at these people just come in and sit down to pay money, not like the owner of the poor money at all.

Merchants are all like to chat, what kind of people have not seen Huachen has opened an inn for so many years, and they can't get any news from the other party's mouth, and it is normal for businessmen to be cautious when they go out, but this is Chang'an has reached its destination, and it is to see that their words and attitudes are completely wrong.

And they ate much more food than the merchants, and this kind of food was like practicing martial arts.

The strangest thing is the room they spend money on, the merchant is the best at controlling money, and more than thirty people directly chartered one of the floors of the inn.

If it were to be replaced by other businessmen, where would he have such good treatment for his subordinates, he would definitely be able to live in an ordinary guest room and let as many people as he could live in it.

The money is all the hard-earned money of businessmen and it is not blown by the wind, if you can live, you will be saved, where is there such a generous person after going out, and then these people don't talk much when they eat and put it.

This situation feels like seeing a soldier, and eating is the top priority, where is there any hard work.

Huachen is an innkeeper, he is an old man, and anyone can tell the difference at a glance, and the behavior of this merchant is strange and silent, which hooks his curiosity even more.

"The shopkeeper of the flower, you are out again, aren't you still entertaining guests from your store?" The shopkeeper of the cloth shop took the initiative to chat when he saw Huachen at the door.

Hua Chen is not in the mood to deal with him, but if he ignores him, he will be called arrogant, and the neighbors will definitely have a bad impression of him.

"It's okay, the guests are tired from the journey and have gone to rest." Huachen Road.

The customers in the shop looked very energetic, they covered all three floors of the restaurant, and told them not to disturb anyone if there was nothing to do.
