Chapter 326 Shen Biao’s Heart is Chiseled (Two in One)
“Manager Sai, you are too polite. I won’t accept anything without doing anything. But since you are ready, just stay. I will settle the bill later.” Shen Qingzhou said.

“Brother Shen, what are you talking about? Your reputation is well-known in Hengyang. I just admire you, but I won’t charge you any money.” She is worthy of being the shopkeeper. Having said that, she might really be sincere this time. If you don’t give her money, do you think she will be able to smile?

Shen Qingzhou took a bite of the jar meat and had to say that his cooking skills were much more refined than Li Dazui’s. In fact, Li Dazui’s culinary talent was also very high, otherwise he would not have been accepted as a disciple by the God of Cookery. Even if the other party had a problem with his taste buds, he did have cooking skills. If Li Dazui had no talent, how could he have accepted him as a disciple?

Li Dazui’s cooking is not bad, it’s just at the level of an average chef, otherwise, Tongfu Inn would not have been able to last for so many years.

“I hope Brother Shen enjoys his meal. Xiao Cui, serve Brother Shen well, otherwise I will not forgive you. I will go back to entertain the guests.” After Sai Diaochan left, Xiao Cui didn’t say much. She seemed to be acting like a bully.

“Okay, you can go back too. By the way, take this back.” Shen Qingzhou waved his hand, and two silver ingots appeared on the table, shining brightly.

The amount of silver he withdrew was based on his own preferences. He usually withdrew fifty taels per ingot. He originally wanted to get sixty-six or eighty-eight, but he spent money frequently and was afraid that others would misunderstand that it was fake.

“Okay.” Xiao Cui’s eyes lit up. There were one hundred taels. Tong Xiangyu’s eyes turned red. This was a lot more.

Of course, I can’t make much. The 20-year-old Fenjiu is really expensive. Just a pot of this will cost at least 60 or 70 taels. Of course, the main reason for the high price is the high shipping cost.

Including other things, Sai Diaochan can earn about ten taels, which is also considered making money. This is also the reason why Tong Xiangyu and Sai Diaochan treat Shen Qingzhou as a wealthy man, because he makes a lot of money.

“Cousin, there’s no one here. Come and have a drink and learn from our advanced experience.” Shen Qingzhou called out.

“I’m coming.” Li Dazui came naturally. He couldn’t ask his cousin for money, but he had no problem eating and drinking.

“Brother Bai, scholar, come here, boss, would you like some?” Shen Qingzhou greeted.

“I don’t like it, let Xiao Guo come.” Tong Xiangyu said that one should have backbone. Guo Furong refused to drink, and then was called away by Tong Xiangyu.

“Boss, can I have something to eat?” Guo Furong said that she hadn’t eaten good food for a long time, but there was nothing she could do.

“This wine is really refreshing.” After drinking a glass of white wine, the alcohol content is not as high as in reality, but it is still over 30 degrees. For people who usually drink low-alcohol wine, it is indeed a bit stimulating.

“It’s gone so soon. Go and ask Shopkeeper Sai to give you a jar of Fenjiu.” Shen Qingzhou said.

At this moment, Sai Diaochan, looking at the two silver ingots that Xiao Cui brought back, felt inexplicably familiar. She heard the waiter say that Shen Qingzhou wanted another jar of wine.

“Go and deliver it.” Sai Diaochan was not talking nonsense. They only had one jar of wine here, and this jar of wine was also the most expensive thing in her entire Yihong Tower. If it was delivered to her, it would cost a full eight hundred and fifty taels of silver.

She planned to sell this jar of wine for a total of 1,500 taels. It was normal for the price to double. If she waited for two years, the price would still go up.

Not all of it was sent over. This is not a big jar, but there is also a half-person-high one, but it was installed in a small jar.

“Good wine.” People who seldom drink this kind of wine couldn’t control themselves after tasting it. It was too high, and even Lao Bai felt a little drunk and couldn’t get used to it.

Unlike Shen Qingzhou, the actual temperature is 53 degrees, and this one is not even 40 degrees. Coupled with his current strong body, it is nothing to him.

“Manager Tong, I won’t come tonight. Now that the brothers are here, you can entertain them.” Since they had already eaten, there was no need to come again. A silver ingot of fifty taels flew directly to the counter, and Tong Xiangyu happily put it away.

However, she soon stopped being happy when she saw Xiao Cui leaving with six silver ingots. That was three hundred taels of silver. It was too much, too much.

“He is indeed a generous guest.” That night, looking at the eight silver ingots of obviously different brightness, Sai Diaochan knew that she had to seize the opportunity with this guest. It was impossible for him to spend so much every day, but one every few days would be enough.

Then, she suddenly remembered something, went to the dressing table, took out the two silver ingots, and then, looking at the eight silver ingots, she knew why they looked familiar, they were too clean and too complete.

Silver is a commodity in circulation. Unless you are using newly minted treasury silver, it is impossible for it to be so clean.

Many people don’t like to use new ones, because after all, you don’t use fake silver, but over time, if there are too many silver plates and oil stains on them, they can also be regarded as silver, as long as it’s not excessive.

But what Shen Qingzhou’s system took out were all new, and of course, real. Moreover, the silver seemed to be carved from the same mold, with excellent craftsmanship.

Sai Diaochan had an idea: could it be that this was the escort leader who came to her boudoir?

On the second day, Shen Qingzhou did not go to Tongfu Inn. He went to Hengyang. Liu Zhengfeng invited him to visit him when he had time. He also wanted to go to Hengyang to see the escort agency.

After walking for two or three days, the leader of the Hengyang Beggars’ Gang, Liu Zhengfeng, and the government’s chief of police, Xie Budong, talked about what they had seen and heard, just to keep in touch.

Xie Budong is also a master. He was able to move even after being hit by the sunflower acupoint-pressing hand. Although he was wearing inner armor, he definitely has some skills. People are willing to make friends with him. He is good friends with the Hua family, Jinyiwei Baihu, and Liushenmen Jin Jiuling, so he can be considered half of our family.

Shen Qingzhou acknowledged Baihu as his friend and that he had indeed helped him, but he always felt that Jin Jiuling was testing him all the time, and he also specifically advertised that he and he were friends. Unlike Baihu, many people did not know about it, but the two of them had correspondence.

In fact, Shen Qingzhou and Xie Budong knew each other not because of Jin Jiuling’s relationship with the Six Gates, but because they were introduced by the local Jinyiwei commander, and it was because of Baihu.

After a chat, it turned out that there was nothing serious. Nowadays, the escort agency’s routes still radiate to the surrounding areas of Hengyang, providing services to money houses and ticket offices. Relying on his reputation of killing Shangguan Yundun, the underworld is really reluctant to offend him, and the Tianxia Escort Agency can be considered to have been established.

After returning to Qixia Town, a lot of things happened in the past two days. For example, Guo Furong made a big fuss in Yihonglou. I went to see what was going on. I didn’t order any dishes that day, but just ordered a pot of tea and was ridiculed. Then I smashed Yihonglou directly. The story of how Xiaomi died also happened.

When Xiaomi saw Shen Qingzhou, he knew they were going to have dinner, so he quickly refused. In his words, he didn’t want to go to Tongfu Inn for a while. Now, Xiaomi has also become more determined and went to Qing Kingdom. After coming back, he was directly promoted to a six-bag disciple, an absolute young talent of the Beggar Gang.

Tong Xiangyu certainly didn’t want to compensate Yihonglou, so she agreed to receive a courtesan named Du Shiniang for them. This was a bit of a flattery. Du Shiniang was too famous. There were a lot of Du Shiniangs, and she was a relatively famous one in Yangzhou. If it was true, Yihonglou couldn’t afford her.

According to Li Dazui’s information, the other party seemed to like Bai Zhantang, but Bai Zhantang didn’t like her. However, Tong Xiangyu felt a sense of crisis, mainly because Du Shiniang had taught Xiaobei bad things, and he just played and spent money instead of doing his homework. Guo Furong came up with an idea and scared Du Shiniang away. When Bai Zhantang gave her the gift, he was misunderstood when he talked about the price. Du Shiniang sank the treasure box for a while, but in Lao Bai’s words, it was just a layer on the surface.

Du Shiniang also learned the truth later, but had no money to pay for the boat fare, so she came back. Tong Xiangyu used the hundred taels of silver she had given her before to help her put on a play to let Mo Xiaobei know the harm of learning from her, and she also left.

Shen Qingzhou actually knew that Du Shiniang was coming, but he didn’t stay to see her. It wasn’t like she was the real Du Shiniang, he was just using her name.

I didn’t regret not being able to catch up with this kind of thing, as I had more opportunities to be with them. However, I had to pay compensation for getting Du Shiniang away and not completing the mission of Yihonglou.

When Shen Qingzhou came back, he saw a group of people practicing dancing. He didn’t stay for dinner. Their inn hadn’t been doing good business in the past two days.

Sai Diaochan did not show up. She felt that she had found someone who entered the boudoir. Although she was not too sure, what could she do? The other party did not do anything. But she personally felt that this was not a good idea. That was a boudoir, even if no one lived there.

Okay, she was sure of it. Maybe because of Shen Qingzhou’s martial arts and reputation, and the fact that he was a real young talent, she had the idea of ​​settling down. Beautiful women love heroes. In this Qixia Town, no, in the entire Pinggu and Hengyang, are there any young people better than Shen Qingzhou? Even though she didn’t like people who knew martial arts, because she knew that these people were trouble.

But she has been struggling for so many years and knows this world well. People who know martial arts can be a backup to some extent. It has not been easy for her over the years. Judging from Shen Qingzhou’s appearance, he can handle it in Hengyang.

She is not a rich second-generation like Tong Xiangyu. From the fact that her restaurant went bankrupt and was sold, we can see that she has no backing and can only open a store in a small place like Qixia Town. She is not a second-generation.

Within two days, Shen Qingzhou learned a relatively secret thing from Li Dazui. Sai Diaochan stole the account book of Tongfu Inn, but no tax evasion was found. However, she was found out. Instead, there was a problem with her account book, and she had to pay an additional 750 taels of tax.

For a merchant, this is already a lot. No wonder he smiles less when looking at Sai Diaochan.

The competition between Tong Xiangyu and Sai Diaochan in business was indeed fierce, and Tong Xiangyu could hardly stand it. It was not that she was really stingy, although she was indeed stingy, but the main reason was that Yihong Restaurant had just opened, and it was not only fresh but also offered great value for money.

Any restaurant, when it first opens, will have no shortage of customers as long as it does an adequate job, but whether it can maintain the business depends on its own abilities.

You must have your own characteristics. It’s a coincidence that the chef comes from Yangzhou and the Fenjiu comes from Shanxi. Yihong Restaurant is not as diverse as Tongfu Inn, which provides accommodation and dining. Yihong Restaurant is a specialized restaurant. Sai Diaochan is also professional and does a really good job.

Tongfu Inn is not that bad. Although Li Dazui was a handyman at the Yellow Crane Tower, he has a real talent for cooking. But if you eat too much of anything, you’ll want to change the taste.

Sai Diaochan was also very good at dealing with people. Shen Qingzhou even went to Yihong Restaurant. Of course, because of his cousin, he stayed at Tongfu Inn more often, although it was also related to the fact that he didn’t like seafood very much.

Although Yihong Restaurant and Tongfu Inn are both restaurants, their cuisines are different.

Shen Qingzhou came to Tongfu Inn three times in the past ten days, and Sai Diaochan sent him wine four times. Not to mention other things, the twenty-year-old Fenjiu, although not rare, is not available everywhere.

“Mr. Shen, are all great heroes so generous? If this continues, you alone can buy all the wine I plan to sell in a year.” On this day, Shen Qingzhou had a clear purpose. He wanted to buy some Fenjiu, which was indeed much better than beer.

“Boss, it seems that you don’t plan to do business properly. For such a big restaurant, you only want a jar of twenty-year-old tea?” Shen Qingzhou asked. This is quite a good way to imitate Diao Chan, and it seems quite natural for him to call him Young Master Shen.

“Mr. Shen, you don’t know that this jar of wine is very expensive. I also didn’t think that it would be emptied so quickly.” Sai Diaochan smiled. Shen Qingzhou didn’t drink it alone. He invited several people from the inn, so naturally he had to invite the brothers from the escort agency as well. Otherwise, it would be very impolite.

Sai Diaochan did not purchase much goods. The special thing about Qixia Town was that there were several second-generation people from the opposite side. Excluding them, it would be just an ordinary town.

A pot of wine costs dozens of taels of silver. When the salary of this waiter is only a few cents, Li Dazui and his colleagues only make two cents, which means that even if the income is not high, it is not the lowest. It is a normal income in the town. Most people cannot afford such income.

……

On this day, Shen Qingzhou rushed back from the neighboring county, exhausted, having escorted a large convoy worth more than 50,000 taels. Several money houses in the neighboring county specially collected a batch of cash from Hengyang just to let Shen Qingzhou escort the convoy personally. The profit was nearly 1,000 taels of silver.

Shen Qingzhou doesn’t escort all the escorts nowadays. Generally, only some valuable escorts need him to escort, and he has to let the escort masters and porters do their work.

But some wealthy businessmen knew that he was skilled in martial arts, had killed the best gangsters in the surrounding area, and had a good reputation in the underworld. Therefore, to be safe, they simply gathered the items together, increased their value, and asked him to sell them.

This time, the fifty thousand taels of silver was the cash that seven or eight pawnshops and money houses in Lin County took from Hengyang. Merchants like this had to have deposits, and each family didn’t have much, just a few thousand taels. However, since they were passing by Taiping Mountain, they were afraid of something going wrong, so they asked Shen Qingzhou for help.

“Mr. Shen, my Yihong Restaurant has prepared a banquet just to thank you for your support to our shop during this period of time.” Sai Diaochan said, and asked someone to send him an invitation. Shen Qingzhou is a man of great skill and courage.

Shen Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and drank it all in one gulp. Diao Chan was urging him to drink, so he also drank the glass.

“Mr. Shen, you don’t know how difficult it is for a woman to do business. Not to mention having to deal with all kinds of people, even if a petty thief comes to your door, it’s terrifying.” Sai Diaochan pretended to be drunk.

“Manager Sai encountered a thief?” Shen Qingzhou wanted to hear what she was going to do.

“Mr. Shen, it’s only you and I who are telling this. We haven’t told anyone else about this. Look.” Sai Diaochan took out a note and two silver ingots. Shen Qingzhou took a look and realized that these were his. How come she knew about it? If she knew, then she knew. She didn’t do anything.

“Mr. Shen, it’s not easy for me as a woman. I dare not tell others when I encounter such a thing.”

“I wrote this, and I gave you the money.” Shen Qingzhou admitted it directly.

“Ah, Mr. Shen, it’s you. You, how can I get married in the future?” The blush on Sai Diaochan’s face became more obvious.

“Then don’t get married.” Shen Qingzhou drank some wine. He was not drunk, but when he smelled the fragrance of this woman, he felt uneasy.

Then, he touched Sai Diaochan’s face. Sai Diaochan didn’t move. He thought she had agreed, but in fact, Sai Diaochan was stunned.
