I spent the night looking for someone to find out where the ice was sold and the approximate market price.

Early in the morning, Laishun took the right sign to apply for a carriage and went straight to the Dongsi Archway.

When it comes to special business, we like to pay attention to the clustering effect. The same goes for the "ice room" these days. There are about seven or eight businesses gathered in the Dongsi Archway.

They were not far apart from each other, so Laishun took a quick glance at them in the car.

Then without thinking, he went straight to whichever house had the biggest reputation - after all, it was the government's money that was spent, so naturally he should do it in a dignified manner.

As we got closer, we saw four big characters written on the plaque in the middle: 'Thousands of miles of ice'.

Lai Shun felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it. Ever since he found out that Xia Taizu had copied everything he could, he had become a pioneer in the fight against plagiarism, and he despised such stolen writing.

Just as he was debating whether to change to another restaurant, the store clerk had already come out to greet him. He glanced at the carriage of Rong Guofu, and then gave a deep salute with a smile on his face: "This guest is here by chance. Our store has ice trays of mixed fruits.

The goods have just arrived, would you like to come in and give me a review?"

Forget it, just this one.

Laishun shook his sleeves, showed the banknote from Datong Bank, and imitated Lai Da's accent and said: "I don't need to come here just to eat some fruits."

"Ouch~"

The waiter gave himself a slap in the face and said with an angry smile: "You are so blind and clumsy. I have condescended to you and appointed you to take care of the small shop when there is a big business!"

With that said, he put his head out and called the shopkeeper to come out to greet the guests.

This businessman's mouth is quite sweet, but it is also aimed at the carriage of Rongguo Mansion - although it is not necessarily possible to tell which house it is from, but the style does not mean that it comes from a small family - and the banknote in Laishun's hand

.

If it were someone who was poor on legs, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the same face.

"It's not really a big deal."

Seeing that the shopkeeper also came out to welcome him, Laishun took the banknote and put it toward the carriage behind: "We are short of several thousand kilograms of rough ice to relieve the heat. What is your price this year? How to deliver it?"

The shopkeeper let the person in and introduced: "Sir, the rough ice in the shop is mixed with flower petal essence and mixed with refreshing medicine..."

"No need."

Laishun waved his hand and said: "I want the kind that is not mixed with anything, but it must not have any strange smell!"

"Don't worry, the store's freshly stored ice will have no peculiar smell."

"Unless you have any special requirements, small stores usually deliver the goods before six o'clock in the morning. If the quantity is large, it may have to be earlier. After all, it takes time to load and unload."

Delivering coal at night is to avoid disturbing the nobles.

The reason for delivering ice on this day is to reduce losses.

"What about the price?"

"this……"

The shopkeeper looked at the coachman who had followed him in, and said with a smile: "Sit down and wait for a moment while I get the price list."

With that said, he called the waiter and brought him an ice plate of mixed fruits.

The layout of his shop is similar to that of Jia Huang's restaurant, with six or seven small tables, but the decoration level is completely different.

Laishun found a nearby table and sat down, while the waiter hurriedly brought out a plate of cold mixed fruits.

He took a small spoon here and was about to taste it when he suddenly heard people neighing outside, and then a very pleasant voice came into the store: "It's getting hot, hurry up and get something cold to relieve the heat!"

"

Following those words, a handsome young man with a face like a crown jewel strode into the store.

He glanced at it casually and sat down next to Laishun. He knocked on the table and urged: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, I'm in a hurry to go to the Sifang Pavilion to see Yangluo!"

However, the waiter was not in a hurry to answer him. Instead, he said with a smile: "Master Liu, weren't the Westerners driven away by the imperial court last year? What kind of foreign country can we see now?"

"What do you know?"

Then Mr. Liu snorted: "The people who were driven away by the imperial court were from Wuxi. Gao Lanji and Pu Zhi are still there."

As he said that, he raised his finger and pointed at the fruit plate in front of him and said: "That's it, give me one quickly, and prepare four more to pack up and take away, just use your kind of quilt-wrapped box!"

Hearing this, the waiter came closer to him and said in a lower voice: "Sir, there are not only seasonal things here, but also many from the greenhouse. You can have five of them."

Is it...hehe, should we clear the previous accounts first?"

Mr. Liu was not upset when he heard this. He pointed outside and asked, "Have you seen my book boy?"

The waiter turned around and saw that the door was deserted. He went out and looked around, but still didn't see any book boy.

He turned back and scratched his head and said, "Mr. Liu, I really can't find him. Why don't you give me some help?"

"It's just that you can't find it!"

Mr. Liu spread his hands and said, "I've been staying in Jinlan Courtyard for a few days. I couldn't find him when I got home last night. I couldn't find him with him, as well as the money box where I put my money."

The waiter was speechless and said with a wry smile: "Then why are you having fun with me? Hurry up and report to the official to get someone?!"

"Take whatever you want."

Mr. Liu shook his head and said: "After all, he has served me for several years, and all the ten taels of scattered silver will be rewarded to him as a master."

"Then you..."

The waiter looked at the fruit plate on the table next door to Laishun, and then looked at Mr. Liu who didn't know how to feel sad, with a troubled look on his face.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Liu?"

At this time, the shopkeeper came out from behind, greeted Mr. Liu politely, turned around and went straight to Laishun, and respectfully handed over the price list.

Laishun took a quick look and saw that the black characters on the red background were still wet from the ink. It was obviously the product of a recent rush of work.

If you take a closer look, you will understand.

There were several price tags marked on it, arranged at high and low levels, which also vaguely hinted at the amount of rebates.

No wonder I had to go to the back to ‘get’ it.

When it comes to doing business in Lai Shun's previous life, it was often involved in the activities of eating and taking cards, and he didn't reject it very much.

But at this moment, he didn't want to cause trouble.

So I dipped some ink stains on my index finger, drew a mark on the price without rebate, and said righteously: "I'll spare you all the vain people. I'll just give you the most affordable one for five hundred taels first. If our house

If you use it well, I will have to take care of your business in the future."

The shopkeeper was confident, and he took some seal mulberry paper and other items, drew up a set of formalities, and set a delivery date and address.

When he found out that the purchase was for the Rongguo Mansion, his attitude suddenly became a bit more respectful. Even Daoning spent some money and looked forward to being able to frequent the Duke's Mansion.

At this moment, the handsome Mr. Liu and his clerk broke down.

He wasn't upset at all. He stood up and walked out, making a half-hearted joke: "Okay, okay, wait until I get rich that day, then I can come back and spit in your face!"

Seeing that this man was acting free and easy, unlike the sissy pretty boys he was used to seeing, Laishun couldn't help but asked curiously: "This Mr. Liu is quite interesting. Is he also a frequent visitor to your place?"

“I was a regular customer in the early years.”

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "This Mr. Liu Xianglian lives at the north entrance of Nanxiao Street. His parents left early. Although he left a lot of property behind, he has no one to control him. In the past few years, he has been wandering around the capital in all kinds of wind and rain.

A lot of family property was lost."

After a pause, he added: "However, this person's character is quite upright, and he is also talented in literature and martial arts. He is not comparable to those lazy people on the street."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Laishun standing up with a strange look on his face. He couldn't help but wonder: "How come, guest, have you heard of him?"

"Well……"

Laishun clicked his tongue and said, "You must have heard of it."

Turning around, he added vaguely: "But I haven't heard of it in this life."

"What did you say?"

"nothing."
