Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Chapter 227
Luoyang is not close to the capital, just to deliver a few pots of peonies to Xie's family, which shows how extravagant people in Xie Mingyi's lineage usually live.

Xie Chunhua held a banquet today. In addition to inviting many ladies to enjoy the peonies, he also had personal matters that he wanted to talk to Xie Rongzhao about.

"I heard that the land occupied by Zuixian Tower belongs to Sister Zhao?"

Xie Rongzhao replied with a smile: "Forget it, my aunt bought it for me last year, she said it was for me as a dowry, but I didn't open the restaurant, I rented it to them."

"I know about this. I heard that the owner of Zuixianglou is a big businessman from Yangzhou. I thought that the entire restaurant belonged to him. Later I found out that the shop was only rented."

Xie Rongzhao didn't understand why she suddenly mentioned Zuixianlou.

Zuixianlou is now the hottest restaurant in the whole capital. It is not only big, but also exquisite in decoration and decorations.

Just occupying an area, the pavement alone is worth more than 20 fragrant braised dishes restaurants.

"The boss originally wanted to buy it from us, but my mother-in-law didn't agree, so he signed the lease contract. Sister Chunhua also knows that in the inner city, you don't have to be rich to buy it. shop."

The pavement in the inner city is not only expensive, but also depends on the identity of the buyer.

Not to mention that the merchant came from Yangzhou, but because of his status as a merchant, it would be difficult to win this shop.

Although the Dazhi Dynasty was much more lenient to merchants, it still had to strictly guard against collusion between officials and businessmen, so it was basically forbidden for court officials and even their relatives to do business.

Of course, things like a woman’s dowry should not be treated as separate items.

This is why Liu Ruolan started looking for a suitable shop for Xie Rongzhao early on.

The land occupied by Zuixian Building can be said to be the largest shop on that street. Not only is it a two-story building, but there is also a large courtyard behind it.

Xie Rongzhao can earn hundreds of taels of silver a year after renting out a whole set of houses.

When I bought this shop, it was not cheap. Even with the help of Mrs. Gao, it still cost more than 4000 taels to buy it.

Seeing that she mentioned Zuixianlou again, Xie Rongzhao had to say in a roundabout way: "Sister Chunhua wants to eat Zuixianlou's food? Then I will ask my sister to try it later. I don't go out much, and the boss is also a clever person. They definitely won’t ask us for a high price.”

Now everyone knows that the food and drinks in Zuixianlou are not cheap, especially the Zuixian brew. It is said that the most expensive one has sold for ten taels of silver for a jar of wine, which is really sky-high!
Just like that small jar, if four or five people are invited together, I'm afraid they can drink ten jars and eight jars.

"It's not necessary. In fact, I also have something to ask for."

"Sister Chunhua, please tell me."

Xie Chunhua was still a little embarrassed, after all, now that he asked for a girl who was two years younger than him, she was still a member of the Gaoyang Xie family who was looked down upon by his family, so he always felt a little uncomfortable.

"That's right. In a few days, it will be my grandfather's birthday. My mother took over the task of organizing the banquet. Now everyone knows that the wine in Zuixianlou is good, so my mother also wanted to ask them to send some wine over." .”

At this point, Xie Rongzhao understood.

The business of Zuixianlou can do so well not only because of the good food and wine, but also because they have a powerful master behind them.

Zuixianlou usually delivers wine, and they basically drink it at the restaurant, which can make the restaurant more popular.

However, there are exceptions. For example, a while ago, the old lady of the Yongan Hou Mansion celebrated her birthday and invited them to send two hundred altars of wine to the banquet. Not to mention the huge cost, the most important thing is to arrange a noodle!

Because of this, Marquis Yong'an has received a lot of praise from the nobles in the capital, saying that he is filial and willing to spend money.

Now that Xie Chunhua was able to mention this drunk fairy wine to her, he must have taken a fancy to the name.

"Sister Chunhua wants me to tell the shopkeeper to bring wine to the mansion for a taste? There is no need for this. Mr. Xie is in the third rank, but you are a big man. As long as you send someone to tell, I think the shopkeeper will definitely bring wine over happily."

Xie Chunhua had a sore throat for a while.

How could she not know Yi Xie's family background and just send the housekeeper there?
The point is that now her mother can't afford enough money. She is a concubine, and she had nothing to do with her at first, but she didn't want her father to be blamed by other uncles, so she wanted to help her.

"To tell you the truth, there is something wrong with the money my mother has on hand, otherwise I wouldn't beg you to come to me. I also need to ask my sister to put in a few good words for me, and see if I can get some benefits?"

Xie Rongzhao just couldn't believe it.

Such words were actually spoken by Miss Xie, a dignified century-old family?
And as far as she knows, there is still a third-rank official in the Xie family, it's far from the point where he can't even pay for the drinks, right?

Xie Chunhua's face was embarrassing, how could she not know that saying this would ruin her family's face?

But if they don't say it, there will be troubles at the birthday banquet, and the whole family may not be at peace.

Xie Chunhua thought that he had already opened his mouth anyway, and it was not short of a sentence or two, so he simply made his words clearer.

"My mother had already withdrawn the silver taels in the office before, but my elder brother caused some troubles outside, and my mother had no choice but to settle the matter with silver money. But in this way, the silver money in her hand was not enough to support the birthday banquet, so I just dared to beg my sister."

Xie Rongzhao frowned, she was not very familiar with the people here, at most she had played with Xie Chunhua a few times, and she knew very well that the women of Xie's family looked down on her and her mother.

That being the case, why did Xie Chunhua come to beg her?
If the money is not enough, just borrow it, why bother to beg her for a child?

Besides, Mrs. Xie didn't have a lot of money, so it was her husband and son who should be worried first. Why did this girl who was born as a concubine want to stand up for her legitimate mother?
"Sister Chunhua, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with this task. Not to mention that I'm just a child, and my words are mild, but that the boss is also very particular about his business. The Xie Mansion surrendered instead, I'm afraid the boss won't respond."

If it is really lowered, it means that the restaurant has offended the Yong'an Hou Mansion, and this is no joke.

Xie Chunhua's complexion turned pale. Although she had expected it, she still felt somewhat frustrated when she heard Xie Rongzhao's words.

"Forget it, I shouldn't have made things difficult for you. Besides, what you said is right, how can the shopkeeper offend the Yong'an Hou Mansion because of our Xie family?"

"Why is Sister Chunhua like this? How much does the drink have? I don't believe Mrs. Xie can't get it."

Xie Chunhua smiled bitterly and shook his head silently.

Of course she knew that her aunt could come up with the money, but the problem was that her aunt didn't want to, which made her think of a way!
