"Why is the shopkeeper of this Juxiang Building here?" The old man of the Wang family asked the two wealthy businessmen beside him.

The two shook their heads and said, "I don't know, maybe it's on behalf of the owner of Juxiang Building?" You also know that the owner of this Juxiang Building is very mysterious, and he also received the post this time, so he let the shopkeeper do it for him. ”

"It's very likely, I didn't expect this Lord Qincha to even invite Juxianglou to move. But it's a pity that the owner still refuses to show up, is this considered a refutation of Qincha's face? ”

The other person was a little gloating, looking at the excitement and not a big deal.

Hearing this, the other two looked at the two Qincha sitting at the top, wanting to see if Juxianglou had only sent one shopkeeper over, and these two would feel that they had lost face

It's a pity that they are going to be disappointed, because they found that the two Qincha lords were still smiling and not displeased, and their hearts suddenly sank.

When they received the post before, they felt that it must be a Hongmen banquet today, otherwise what would they do if they gathered all these rich businessmen?

Thinking of the recent disaster victims outside the city gate and the river embankment that is being diverted, and now coupled with the attitude of the Qincha, they feel more and more that they will definitely not be pleasing today.

Xia Hongji's face was a little ugly, Juxianglou has semicolons in various places, and there are about ten of them at present. In the past two years, there have been four more companies, and the speed of the rise is extremely fast, which can really be regarded as a huge wealth.

However, the owner of the restaurant is very mysterious, and no one knows who the owner is. Two years ago, it was rumored that the owner of Juxianglou was originally a farmer, but this was not convincing at all.

How capable is a farmer? Do you know how much it costs to open a restaurant in Fucheng?

First of all, you have to have connections, that is, you have to have someone to support you in the officialdom. With so many semicolons like Juxianglou, it is definitely not enough to rely on an official, and the grade cannot be low.

Secondly, you have to have a good relationship with the ruffians, although there are people to support them, but some ruffians are very open-minded, and they are not afraid to wear shoes anyway. They come every once in a while, can you still do your business?

In the end, there is competition from peers, take Hangtianfu as an example, there are no less than ten restaurants in a Fucheng, which is still large, not a small restaurant. With so many restaurants competing with each other, there is naturally no need to say much about the dishes, and there are a lot of bad things behind them.

Those who can stand down are all capable of it, otherwise it would have been crowded and unable to open.

The Xia family naturally also has a restaurant, but it has been suppressed by Juxianglou in the past two years. Fortunately, the dishes in Juxianglou are not cheap, and they have Xia Shoufu behind them, otherwise they would really have to close their doors.

It's not that he hasn't made a bad move, but he is very shrewd. Not only did they not step into the trap, but their Xia clan was always counter-generalized. To this day, they have not taken advantage of each other.

Therefore, if the two families meet together, it is also horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, and they do not look at each other well.

The shopkeeper entered the flower hall, and saw his master at a glance, his face was as usual, and he bowed and saluted: "The shopkeeper of Juxianglou will meet your lords!" ”

Hu Maoshen glanced at Gu Chengyu, and actually invited the shopkeeper of Juxianglou?

I don't know if today's goal can be achieved, Hu Maoshen frowned, but in fact, he was not optimistic about Gu Chengyu's plan.

"The shopkeeper is late, but you are really busy!"

When the shopkeeper and everyone greeted each other, as soon as they sat down, they were ridiculed by Xia Hongji.

Originally, as soon as Xia Hongji came in, those businessmen pounced on them like bees seeing flowers. Whoever wants to show the shopkeeper comes, and those people are like a wall grass, and when the wind blows, they fall around.

Xia Hongji was really unhappy when he saw this scene, so he couldn't help but sneer.

"Our Juxiang Building has a large number of guests every day, and I am the shopkeeper of Juxiang Building, but I am indeed not idle. It's just that Lord Qincha invited, and our owner didn't dare to disobey. But he was too far away from Hang Tianfu, so he had to call the old man to apologize to Lord Qincha on his behalf, and he would make amends in person next time. ”

The shopkeeper first explained the reason why the owner didn't come, and there was a reason for it anyway. Isn't their host sitting on the throne of the Lord? There are things that do not know Tarzan with eyes.

"Master Xia doesn't seem to have arrived long earlier than the old man, the old man was on the road just now, and he saw your carriage in front of the old man!"

The shopkeeper then sneered, and directly countered Xia Hongji's sarcasm. He has the support of his master, what is Xia Shoufu afraid of?

When Xia Hongji heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly. Saying that Juxianglou is full of guests, isn't it ridiculing Xia's restaurant for its cold business?

This exhibition is just a shopkeeper! even dared to speak out, their Xia family is a famous family, what is his small restaurant shopkeeper?

Gu Chengyu sat at the top and took in the movements below. And that's not even the beginning! The two of them pinned themselves on each other.

As the saying goes, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, this Xia Hongji is not a righteous gentleman, it is inevitable that the other party will find trouble, it seems that he has to find something to do for the other party.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Today is the Golden Autumn Festival, which was originally a good day for family reunion. It's just that this official and you have just arrived in Jiangnan, and they have never had the opportunity to meet you. Today, let's take advantage of this festival to have a good drink. ”

Hu Maoshen, as the highest-ranking official, naturally had to say two words first.

Businessmen are light to part, only on such an important festival can the family be reunited, and it is rare to be able to gather so many people on weekdays.

Therefore, Gu Chengyu specially arranged the day today, in order to be all present, otherwise where would his silver go?

"Lord Qincha's words made us ashamed, originally when you arrived at Hangtian Mansion, we should have come to visit, but you also know that we are not often in the mansion, so we have been delayed until today. I didn't expect to be invited by the labor adults, but the old man really didn't want to go. ”

A man in a brown jacket stood up and replied respectfully.

Gu Chengyu glanced at this person and recognized that this was the master of the Sun family. The ancestors of the Sun family were in the cloth business, and now the Sun family's cloth village also has several branches. The most important thing is that his family also has a caravan to sell cloth to the border areas.

This is one of the characters that Gu Chengyu focuses on, and he will use this person in the future.

He had already figured out the details of these wealthy businessmen, the Sun family's caravan was not small, and every time he went to the border, he made a lot of money, maybe they could cooperate in the future.

King Jing had been quiet in the fiefdom long enough, which was unusual. The Sun family goes to the border three times a year, and they should be very familiar with the border pass, and it should be easier to get the news.

"Master Sun is serious!"

After a few more greetings, everyone moved to the side hall.

During the banquet, the guests and hosts were happy, smiling and the atmosphere was very good.

Gu Chengyu watched coldly, seeing that everyone's praise of Xia Hongji had made the other party fluttering, the old face was flushed, and he thought that he had drunk a lot.

He felt that the time was almost up, so he glanced at Hu Maoshen.
