Starting from the time when Mang traveled through Joy of Life, he fabricated the myths of the heaven

Chapter 403: Acquaintance Bureau (Two in One)
"Big Mouth, Big Mouth." Shen Qingzhou led a group of people to Tongfu Inn and found something wrong. Why did Tongfu Inn have so few customers?

Xiliang River is a transit station with many customers traveling from the south to the north, otherwise, how could they open a chain store.

I looked at the Yuchan Building opposite. It wasn't crowded, but I could see a few customers by the windows upstairs.

Yuchanlou was officially opened before Shen Qingzhou left, because Sai Diaochan knew that Shen Qingzhou would not be back for a while, and she couldn't just sit back and enjoy the benefits, so she opened the business immediately.

Although the Yuchanlou doesn't seem to be crowded, this is normal. The prices in this teahouse are not affordable for ordinary people.

There were many teahouses in the Song Dynasty, both high-end and low-end. Drinking tea and eating fruit was a custom. However, there was no such custom in the Ming Dynasty. Although there were teahouses and wine shops, most of them were high-end.

Moreover, it was extremely convenient to open a tea shop in the Song Dynasty. All you needed was your skills and other things, and everyone could make a living from it. But that was not the case in the Ming Dynasty, where tea was just a pastime.

Most teahouses are actually restaurants, but Yuchanlou is not. It is a tea shop from the Song Dynasty. The tea and dim sum craftsmanship come from the Song Dynasty, and the teachers specially invited from the Song Dynasty are experts in tea arts. Of course, although these are all gimmicks, the goods are genuine and the prices are reasonable, which most people cannot afford.

At this moment, Shen Qingzhou heard someone singing in Yuchan Tower. Most people would not dare to enter such an environment.

Yuchanlou was planning to receive businessmen or some wealthy people. Because of the robbery of Yihong Restaurant, even though Shen Qingzhou recovered a lot, he still suffered a lot.

Ordinary people would be embarrassed to enter a teahouse, but Sai Diaochan didn't want to be embarrassed, so she went straight for the high-end one.

"Miss, Captain Shen is back." Xiao Cui was in the hall. When she saw Shen Qingzhou, she rushed upstairs and said to Sai Diaochan who was looking at herself in the mirror and feeling sorry for herself.

"Ah, you're back so soon. You go and take it first, I'll be down soon." Sai Diaochan quickly began to tidy up in front of the mirror. Women dress up to please themselves, and fortunately, she was in good shape.

Xiao Cui went downstairs, and Sai Diaochan also wanted to go down immediately, but she thought of something, poured the water in the cup back into the teapot, and carefully placed a few white petals in her palm. When she got to a place, she threw the petals into the drinking water tank, where various petals were floating, but they were all confusing. The really useful one was the petal in her hand, which was the Tianshan Snow Lotus.

Even if 90% of the effect was absorbed by her, the remaining amount was enough to make the water in the large pool much fresher and sweeter.

This is the magic weapon that enables her Yuchanlou to attract many customers. The water here is better than that in other places, so the tea brewed here naturally tastes good as well.

She has already started drinking the Tianshan Snow Lotus that Shen Qingzhou gave her. She was reluctant at first, but as she found that she became more beautiful the more she drank, she could not resist. Letting Shen Qingzhou see a younger her is much more useful than leaving the dried Tianshan Snow Lotus untouched.

Of course, she didn't consume much. A small leaf could last her for several days at least. Moreover, by recycling waste, the water in a reservoir was enough for Yuchan Tower to make tea for two months.

It's not that there are not many customers, the only thing is that the only ones who can use the water from the reservoir are those who make expensive teas, which most people cannot afford. The tea that people drink normally uses the water from the reservoir, and one spoonful of it is enough to mix into a large jar.

In fact, this kind of snow lotus water has basically no medical effect, but it is definitely much stronger than normal water.

This is also the reason why the water has to be stored. There is a well downstairs, but the water is flowing. No matter how much snow lotus you put in, the medicinal power will flow to other places, so it has to be stored.

There are actually quite a few snow lotus pieces in this reservoir, but they are definitely not the same as the ones Shen Qingzhou gave her. She put them down to cover up, and they are indeed useful. After all, they are all called snow lotus. It's just that ordinary snow lotus is just a medicinal ingredient and is not actually expensive. But Shen Qingzhou's snow lotus blooms once every thirty years and is a truly Tianshan snow lotus with miraculous medical effects.

The water quality has changed after being mixed with the remnants of the real Tianshan Snow Lotus. The ordinary Snow Lotus will also stimulate some medicinal properties after being soaked for a long time.

Sai Diaochan would not be afraid of running out of snow lotus. Shen Qingzhou had been gone for more than eight months, but not even one tenth of the snow lotus had been used up. One snow lotus was enough for four to five years. If she didn't drink it herself, it could be used for more than twenty years, and the effect would be even stronger.

……

"Big Mouth, Big Mouth, where have you been? Dear guests, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight? Brother Shen." Tong Xiangyu was muttering at the long table. When she saw someone coming outside the door, she hurried to greet him. Then, she saw Shen Qingzhou.

"Shopkeeper Tong, what are you mumbling about? What happened to my cousin?" Shen Qingzhou heard it.

"Nothing, nothing, who are these?" Tong Xiangyu saw a group of people following Shen Qingzhou.

"Oh, Manager Tong, these are all people staying in the hotel, please make arrangements for them." Shen Qingzhou let go of the people behind him.

Half of the people from Tianji Hall stayed in Hengyang, mainly to check information, and the other half followed He Xiaohui to Qixia Town, and Liangyi Fairy naturally came as well.

He Xiaohui and Liangyi Fairy have the same goal. To be frank, Shen Qingzhou is a top master. Now that they have the chance to meet each other, in fact, they came to Qixia Town just for him, so naturally they want to develop close to him, but first they must stay in his hotel.

"Boss, please stay here for half a month first." Someone from Tianji Hall presented a hundred taels of silver.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Guo, take the heroes to settle down." Tong Xiangyu was blinded by the money. Bai Zhantang also appeared. Looking at the group of people who appeared, she was alert. Each of them seemed to have martial arts skills. However, seeing that they were brought by Shen Qingzhou, she guessed that there should be no problem.

In fact, the Tianxia Escort Agency is now quite large and can accommodate these people. However, since they are women after all, it is still inconvenient.

Fairy Liangyi did not disguise herself this time. She wanted to live in Qixia Town with her real identity. He Xiaohui wanted to do business, so she naturally would not disguise herself. Living with Shen Qingzhou would easily lead to rumors.

Therefore, they settled down in the inn. During this period, those who needed to buy houses bought houses, and those who needed to buy land bought land. The identity problem had been solved. They already had an official road sign, and they had the Jiangnan Hua family. Moreover, Shen Qingzhou was well-off in Hengyang, and everyone was willing to help with small favors.

He Xiaohui had previously bought a house in Hengyang for the Tianjitang disciples who remained in Hengyang to live in.

[Complete the escort mission, gain proficiency x200000 (50000)]

At this moment, the escort mission of Fairy Liangyi and He Xiaohui was officially completed, and they obtained 250,000 proficiency points, plus the 120,000 proficiency points they gained from making friends when they left Xi Kingdom before. In addition, the escort agency had to complete escort missions continuously, so every little bit counted, a total of 375,000.

While on the way, Shen Qingzhou could perfect the Xuanbing Bihuo Gong through his proficiency, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do so. He was afraid that the breakthrough would take time, and it would be even more troublesome if he disappeared for a day or two. Anyway, his martial arts were enough for the time being.

"Shopkeeper Tong, what happened to my cousin?" Shen Qingzhou asked again. It was obvious that Tong Xiangyu wanted to say it just now, but He Xiaohui and the others didn't say it.

"You see, this big mouth doesn't go to work. I don't know what he does all day long. He leaves early and comes back late. These past few days, because we don't have a cook, not only have no customers come, but we are all starving.

The kitchen door was locked in broad daylight. We broke it open yesterday. Do you know what is inside? Such a big stone lock. I have asked Zhan Tang to follow him. Don't be in trouble. But it's good that you are back. "Tong Xiangyu trusts Shen Qingzhou very much. Bai Zhan Tang is as timid as a mouse, but Shen Qingzhou killed Shangguan Yundun and is a big shot in Hengyang.

Shen Qingzhou thought about it, maybe he was deceived and practiced the plot of the Ten Dragon Subduing Palms. Alas, Li Dazui was quite persistent in martial arts.

However, Broken-Finger Xuanyuan didn't want him to enter the martial arts world. Li Dazui knew it himself. He was also filial. Since he knew that Broken-Finger Xuanyuan was his mother, he naturally knew that his mother's martial arts skills were not low, but she still learned from outsiders. What she had in mind was endless.

"Okay, tell me if there is any follow-up to this matter." Shen Qingzhou said. He would not go to find Li Dazui. There was no danger to his life, but he could learn a lesson.

"Boss." Guo Furong appeared tremblingly.

"What's wrong with you?" Tong Xiangyu asked.

"Boss, this is too scary. These people all have swords in their packages. Are they looking for revenge?" Guo Furong said. She was not very courageous.

"What are you thinking about? Xiao Shen brought them here. By the way, Xiao Shen, who are they?" Tong Xiangyu asked. She was not afraid of Shen Qingzhou's endorsement.

"They are from Xi Country and are here to do business. Don't worry." Shen Qingzhou comforted them.

"That's good." Tong Xiangyu said.

"Boss, the people have settled down, but how do we prepare meals?" Guo Furong said.

"Let's go across the street and buy some tea and snacks." Tong Xiangyu gritted her teeth. People gave her a hundred taels of silver, so she couldn't go without food. She went across the street and bought something first.

"Okay, how about tea?" Guo Furong said happily.

"What tea? We don't have a cook, but we do have water. Big Mouth will be back in the evening. Let's buy some food to fill our stomach first." Tong Xiangyu said.

"Boss, it would be great if you could do this earlier. These past few days, Big Mouth is not here during the day, and we are hungry. It would be great if you could take us across the street to eat earlier."

"You pay, Xiao Shen. You are familiar with Manager Sai. Can you give me a discount if you buy more?" Tong Xiangyu said. The things on the other side were indeed exquisite and delicious, but they were expensive. Really expensive. I heard that a pot of some good teas cost several taels of silver. I don't know who has the money to drink it.

However, when she saw Shen Qingzhou, she had an idea. If Shen Qingzhou went to buy something, he would definitely not charge expensive prices.

"They are all small matters, go and get them. By the way, my cousin is back, tell him to prepare the ingredients, I will treat everyone to a meal, these people are also my clients." Shen Qingzhou said. After he left, there was an ingot of fifty taels of silver on the table.

"Okay, Xiao Shen, don't worry." Tong Xiangyu was very happy. Shen Qingzhou was always generous and beautiful.

When he entered the opposite side, Sai Diaochan was already waiting at the door. When she saw him come in, she looked at him with a happy face.

"Prepare some food for the other side." Shen Qingzhou said directly. Sai Diaochan waved her hand and Xiao Cui went to arrange it without any doubt. As for money, Sai Diaochan wished that Shen Qingzhou would use her own money.

Women of this era are still pretty good, such as Sai Diaochan. She gave herself to Shen Qingzhou. Even though she knew she was not worthy of him, her heart was still with him, mainly because Shen Qingzhou himself was also very promising.

"Captain Shen, long time no see." Someone upstairs saw Shen Qingzhou and quickly stood up and clasped his fists.

"Mr. Zhang, long time no see." Shen Qingzhou also communicated with everyone one by one, including several local wealthy businessmen.

Of course, there are many people traveling back and forth, whom he does not know, so naturally there is no communication between them.

There were quite a few men on the first floor. They stood up as soon as they saw him come in. They were all people from his escort agency.

The escort agency has a considerable income. Besides, the boundary between Yuchanlou and Tianxia Escort Agency is not very clear. Yuchanlou has preferential treatment for people from Tianxia Escort Agency, so naturally everyone is willing to come here to show off their knowledge.

This was also Sai Diaochan's idea. After all, the teahouse was full of women, and it would be inconvenient without guards. So she might as well use this method to let the people from the Tianxia Escort Agency stay in Yuchan Tower. At least ordinary people would not dare to cause trouble.

The people at Tianxia Escort Agency also knew that the owner of this teahouse, Nian, had a special relationship with the chief escort. They were not mistresses, after all, everyone knew that the chief escort practiced martial arts as a virgin, but who said that they couldn't have feelings for each other? Anyway, the people at Tianxia Escort Agency knew that for most of the past six months, Sai Diaochan had checked the account books of Tianxia Escort Agency, although it was the second time the account was checked.

It's also thanks to Sai Diaochan, otherwise, Shen Qingzhou hadn't come back for such a long time. Although everyone would not run away with the stuff, facing so much silver, they would inevitably be tempted and try to take some.

He entered Shen Qingzhou's exclusive private room. In Yuchan Tower, he had a private room that only he and Sai Diaochan could use.

Shen Qingzhou sat down with his horse and sword. Sai Diaochan was still hesitant, after all, she was a woman. Then she felt her body lighten and she was already sitting in Shen Qingzhou's arms. Sai Diaochan was smiling happily. Although many people misunderstood that Shen Qingzhou was a virgin, it was enough for her to know that it was not the case. Moreover, she also had to publicize it, otherwise, what would happen if someone competed with her.

"What happened recently?" Shen Qingzhou asked, wanting to know the information during this period.

"Nothing much. You've been asking everyone at the escort agency to be cautious, so we're just operating in Hengyang. Nothing has happened so far.

By the way, some time ago, the sewer here was blocked, and it was really smelly. The shopkeeper Tong across the street found a Mr. Lei from somewhere, who was an expert at unclogging sewers.

There is also Lv Xiucai, who was deceived by someone who said he would publish a book for him. Who knew that the famous bookseller was actually a tomb robber? However, when she was interrogated, she said that there was someone above her head. Someone went to see her. She was trampled to death by a group of Jinyiwei. "Shen Qingzhou listened to Sai Diaochan's words and combined with his memory, this should be Lei Laowu, the tomb robber who wanted to compete with Bai Zhantang for the title of the Saint of Thieves and finally turned over a new leaf.

There is also the bookseller. Could it be that Lu Xiucai was cheated when he wrote a book, and then he had to pay the penalty for breach of contract? Tong Xiangyu used the jewelry left by Lei Laowu from the tomb robbery to pay off the debt, and then the jewelry was discovered to be burial objects, and then he was killed.

Shen Qingzhou didn't believe it. Mrs. Fan's death was so funny. It was probably because someone coveted the jewelry in her hand and killed her intentionally or unintentionally. She couldn't survive anyway.

"There is another thing. Some time ago, several disciples of Hengshan Sect came to Tongfu Inn and made Mo Xiaobei the head of the Hengshan Mo family. Many heroes from the martial arts world came to celebrate. The leader, Mr. Mo Da, also came, but he was caught and scolded by Madam Qian, and Madam Qian was seriously injured." Speaking of this, Sai Diaochan wanted to laugh.
