Chapter 380 Smell the Fragrance (Part 1, please subscribe!)

"Xiang Rong, I'll take the saintesses of the Yue Kingdom for a stroll around the city later, will you come with me?"

After getting off the car, Zhang Twelve looked at the bustling street and said to Mu Xiangrong.

"Okay—ah, don't!"

Mu Xiangrong replied subconsciously before realizing it, and immediately refused.

She was very satisfied with Zhang Twelve's defense of herself just now, and she also knew that Zhang Twelve was entrusted with the Holy Maiden of the Yue Kingdom, so she shouldn't get in the middle, that would be too stingy !
"Brother Yi, there is still something to do at home, I can go back, you can take the saint girl for a stroll!"

Mu Xiangrong said sweetly, and greeted the Holy Maiden of the Yue Kingdom, and boarded the carriage again. Zhang Twelve gave Du Lang some instructions before letting him drive Mu Xiangrong away in the carriage.

For Zhang Twelve, who is a bit of a straight male cancer, the streets in this world are nothing more than that, what is there to go shopping?
Besides, he took Princess Yilan for a stroll last time, and the stalls selling things on this street are basically fixed, so it doesn't seem very interesting to him.

But this is undoubtedly new to the saintesses of the Yue Kingdom. They stop and go along the way, touch and see, and want to buy this one, and that one too. As his tour guide and money bag——Zhang Twelve is very euphemistic He refused her request, and only bought her a string of candied haws and a string of bracelets, and told her that the Tang Dynasty was short of funds, and the Emperor Tang didn't give him much money, so he could save a little...

And the Saintess of Yue Kingdom is not stupid, she clearly saw that Tang Emperor gave him a lot of silver tickets at that time!

But she didn't poke it out, and still felt ridiculous in her heart: Are you that poor?
The Saintess of Yue Kingdom walked happily in front, and Zhang Twelve followed listlessly. Looking at these familiar stalls, she thought of Princess Yilan again.

I left too fast last time, and I couldn't say a word yesterday. I don't know if she was satisfied with the shopping trip last time, but something happened, and Zhang Twelve felt that Emperor Tang was too embarrassing to let her out again. ...

It's a pity, but at the same time I feel sympathy - no wonder the Emperor Tang didn't let Princess Yilan come out. If he was an ordinary person, something big would happen last time...

…………

After shopping around for a while, Zhang Twelve really didn't want to go shopping anymore, so he asked, "Holy—"

Before the word "female" could be uttered, she was glared back by the saintess of Yue Kingdom.He understood right away, but now he was on the street, how silly it was to reveal his identity!

She smiled at her, and immediately changed her words: "Jiujiu... It's time for dinner, let's go eat!"

Zhang Twelve is really not used to calling a strange woman that way...

Ordinarily, the banquet that started in the morning must have a luncheon, but who made them come out so early?If you eat at Prince Xiang's Mansion, you can save a fortune...

Thinking of this, Zhang Twelve felt pain again, but now that he has come out, there is absolutely no reason to go back for a meal, otherwise, even if the Holy Maiden of Yue Kingdom didn't laugh at him, he would look down on himself a bit!
Isn't it just eating!Go to your own restaurant - the big deal is to order a few less dishes for her...

"Okay, I'm really hungry after what you said! By the way, where shall we go to eat? I heard from those envoys who have been to Jingzhou that there is a saying in Jingzhou that they don't go to smell the incense." If you come to have a meal, you won’t be able to come to Jingzhou! The dishes in Wenxianglai must be delicious, right?”

"........."

Hearing this, Zhang Twelve felt depressed for a while: It seems that the promotion and marketing work still needs to be done!
"Wenxianglai" has been renamed "Twelve Restaurant" long ago, and this statement should have been changed to "If you don't go to Twelve Restaurant, you will come to Jingzhou in vain"!
"Smell the fragrance, it was before, it's gone now! I'll take you to a better place to eat!"

Zhang Twelve didn't tell her in advance that he was going to eat in his own restaurant. When she got there, she would naturally understand after seeing the plaque on the restaurant. She would be surprised and admired by then, right?
Thinking of this, Zhang Twelve felt elated.

The Saintess of Yue Kingdom is not familiar with Jingzhou, and Zhang Twelve is taking care of everything, so she just said "oh" to express her approval after hearing Zhang Twelve's words...

The two walked forward, at the corner of the street—that is, across the street from the "Twelve Restaurant", there were many people around at the moment, and there were people coming in and out there, very lively.

And on the plaque above the pavilion are clearly written three large characters!

Smell it!
Zhang Twelve was startled when he saw those three words: What is the situation of riding a horse?
After seeing the plaque, the Holy Maiden of the Yue Kingdom looked at Zhang Twelve thoughtfully and asked, "Didn't you say that the smell is coming?"

Hearing this, Zhang Twelve felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a big fly: how to explain now?

"Wen Xianglai" is right in front of her eyes, what should he say to make her believe it?

Zhang Twelve's expression was a little gloomy, he was wondering what was going on with this restaurant?Just by looking at the plaque, one can tell who owns the restaurant. Besides Yang Zexin, who would dare to use the words "Wen Xianglai" again?
What does he mean?Could it be that he wants to compete with his own restaurant for business?

He's also a bit too whimsical, isn't he? How can he compare it to the dishes, services or spirits in his own restaurant?How can he compare?
Zhang Twelve snorted coldly with disdain, and said to the saint of Yue Kingdom: "It was true that Wenxiang fell down before it came here, and it was bought by me—as for this one, it probably just opened, and it's also my first time. See. Let’s take you to my restaurant, there are many more people there than here!”

The Saintess of Yue Kingdom nodded, but she was puzzled in her heart: This person has a title and is so highly valued by the Tang Emperor, how can he still open a restaurant?This is too strange, right?

But after thinking about the series of things he has done since meeting Zhang Twelve yesterday, it seems that none of them are not strange...

This man is completely delusional...

…………

When Zhang Twelve turned the street with the Holy Maiden of the Yue Kingdom, the "Twelve Restaurant" had already appeared in front of their eyes.

Just looking at the scene outside the restaurant, it was too different from the hot scene outside "Wen Xianglai" opposite, Zhang Twelve suddenly had a very bad premonition...

The Saintess of Yue looked up at the plaque on the restaurant:
Twelve Restaurant!

These four words alone are enough to applaud!

She was also sure that this restaurant indeed belonged to Zhang Twelve. Who else could be as coquettish as him, even using his own name for the restaurant?
She was very curious, this restaurant is really as good as he said, does it really have as many customers as he said?

But looking at the few people outside, it doesn't look like it...

Two people with their own thoughts walked into the restaurant just like that...

…………

When he entered the restaurant, Zhang Twelve felt that he had been slapped severely by reality, and his face was burning with pain!
Because in restaurants, not to mention overcrowded, they are not even full!
To be more precise, there were only two or three tables of guests, and these two or three tables of guests were talking to Zhou Quan for some reason, and Zhou Quan was explaining excitedly, blushing, and finally, even the two or three tables of guests couldn't sit still , got up and prepared to leave.

When he left, he was clearly still muttering: What kind of broken restaurant, isn't it just a scam?

In addition, some people echoed: No, the same wine is twice as expensive as others, it's so black-hearted!

When the last person left, he spat towards the door and said: Bah!This kind of dilapidated restaurant should not be able to continue, let's go smell the fragrance!
Then, in the huge restaurant, only a group of Xiao Er, Zhang Twelve, and the Holy Maiden of Yue Kingdom were left, and they were the only ones who wanted to eat...

At this moment, Zhang Twelve was extremely embarrassed, as if a lump of bird feces fell from the sky and hit him on the head, and he didn't know whether to wipe it...

Embarrassed, he laughed a few times, and said to the Holy Maiden of Yue Kingdom: "Look, you only spend the usual money for the meal, but we have reserved the place for you. It's worth it!"

The Saintess of Yue Kingdom looked at him, but she didn't feel that he was really happy. Instead, it was more like a wry smile. She shrugged at him and didn't speak.

That's right, Zhang Twelve couldn't stop laughing after just a couple of laughs. His face became angry and he said loudly, "Zhouquan, come here!"

Zhou Quan had seen Zhang Twelve enter the store a long time ago, but because he was negotiating with those tables of customers, he didn't have time to come over, so he ran up at this time and said with a bitter smile: "Master, you are here ..."

"I'm here? If I don't come again, will this restaurant be closed? What's going on?"

Zhang Twelve roared angrily.

"My lord, don't be angry, it's mainly because of the smell!"

Zhou Quan also looked aggrieved, what can he do?
"Didn't Wen Xianglai collapse? When was that house built?"

To be honest, when I saw "Wen Xianglai" just now, Zhang Twelve didn't pay attention to it, because he felt that the core competitiveness of "Twelve Restaurant" - spirits are still there, and other things are not to be feared. Some people over there now just come to them and can't get a seat, but I didn't expect this to happen!
"My lord, that restaurant just opened today!"

"Just opened? We have liquor, why does everyone else go there?"

Zhang Twelve expressed his doubts.

Hearing this, Zhou Quan sighed and said, "My lord, that's why it's so strange! They also have spirits after smelling the fragrance, and it's only five taels of silver a catty, which is twice as cheap as ours! That's why they came here this morning. A lot of old customers, they thought we had also lowered the price, but after hearing that we did not lower the price, they all came to Wenxiang!"

After thinking for a while, he continued: "And many people who come to Jingzhou from other places, they only heard of Wenxianglai before, so they all ran to Wenxianglai after coming to Jingzhou, which caused us to run away no matter whether they are new customers or regular customers. Go to the opposite side!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Quan's grievance, he managed to become the shopkeeper of this restaurant, but in the end, such a thing happened before his butt was hot, what a grievance!

After hearing Zhou Quan's words, Zhang Twelve was silent for a long time.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. He has thought about other people's production of spirits for a long time. It's just a matter of time. Xiliang has spirits. If other people study hard, it's not impossible to research—— It's just that he didn't expect it to be so fast!
Why?Xiliang spirits?

Suddenly, Zhang Twelve thought of the craftsmanship of making spirits that the Xiliang envoys paid tribute to last night!Emperor Tang didn't want it, but that doesn't mean other people didn't want it!

Thinking of this, Zhang Twelve suddenly realized, and at the same time, he hated Yang Zexin in his heart: Damn, others are imitating faces, imitating faces, and someone imitates my spirits!

This is unbearable!

Seeing Zhang Twelve's silence for a long time, Zhou Quan asked anxiously: "My lord, why don't we also lower the price? As long as our spirits are also sold at five taels a catty, I am confident that I will bring back all those customers!"

Zhang Twelve glanced at him and said, "What if they lower the price of spirits to three taels of silver a catty?"

Zhou Quan really wanted to say, "Then let's reduce the spirits to three taels too", but after seeing Zhang Twelve's expression, he thought about it carefully, if that's the case, how about lowering the alcohol on the other side?They have also followed?It doesn't seem very cost-effective!

So he lowered his head and said embarrassingly: "Young master, this kind of brain work, the young one is not as good as the young master, and everything is under the arrangement of the young master!"

Zhang Twelve patted him on the shoulder and said, "At this time, the price cannot be lowered! If we lower the price, what will those old customers think? We can also sell it at the price of five taels of silver per catty, so why did we sell it before? Selling it for ten taels of silver? Isn’t that telling others that we want more? If you were a customer, would you still go to such a store?”

Zhou Quan thought for a while, then shook his head immediately.

How could he be so cheap, if he knew which shop was lying to him, he wouldn't even go there if he was beaten to death!
Thinking of this, Zhou Quan gave another thumbs up to Zhang Twelve's wisdom, thinking that he should be a part-time worker and the son should be a boss just because of his IQ suppression!

"That's right, son!"

As if thinking of something, Zhou Quan said angrily: "Then Wen Xiang came to do things that are not authentic! The day before yesterday, someone from them came to me and said that as long as I took people to work in their restaurant, they would be fine. Let me be their shopkeeper, and give me back 1000 taels of silver!"

Hearing 1000 taels, Zhang Twelve couldn't help being speechless. This Yang Zexin really spent a lot of money to deal with him!

"Why didn't you go?"

Zhang Twelve joked with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhouquan's face instantly flushed red: "Master—you, how can you be so thoughtful about Zhouquan! Even if he gave the little one 1 taels, the little one would never go!"

"I'm joking with you, of course I know you won't go!"

Unexpectedly, he took it seriously, Zhang Twelve hurriedly replied with a smile.

Only then did Zhou Quan relax a bit, and said to Zhang Twelve: "My lord, it's not just me! After seeing my refusal, they found many people in private, whether it's our mistress, accountant, chef, they all I’ve looked for it! They not only said that they would pay high wages for those who went, but also said that if they could bring a person there, they would give an extra 100 taels, and bring more! I think they just want to drag down our restaurant!”

Speaking of this, Zhou Quan became even more angry, Zhang Twelve was also a little surprised, this Yang Zexin hated himself so much!
"I've already looked for you?"

"Master, I've looked for it!"

"Young master, you also looked for me!"

I!
"And I!"

Even the chefs came out, making Zhang Twelve feel ashamed for a while...

　When I came to my old man’s house, it was embarrassing and embarrassing to drink, and I was woken up by a pee, and it was almost 02:30. . . . .I'm guilty, update now.
