After some adjustments, the teahouse looks much more comfortable.

Guo Hao went to the backyard to take a look. The stove, teapot and tea bowls were all ready, and there were cages for making pastries. Everything was ready, but it was just a matter of listing and opening.

But it cannot be published at this time because Guo Hao’s manuscript has not been published yet. Although Chen Lin has already found some gentlemen, it will take time for them to become familiar with the story.

"This is a manuscript of Journey to the West. So far, there is only one. I'll leave it to Brother Chen and know how to do it. You must not make any mistakes."

Guo Hao handed the manuscript to the manager. The manager took it with both hands, carefully wrapped it up and put it in, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Guo, I will hand it over to the young master in person."

Guo Hao nodded, thought for a while, asked someone to prepare paper and pen, and wrote a letter to Chen Lin.

"This letter is also given to Brother Chen, asking him to prepare the things inside. Whether Juxian Pavilion will become a hit this time will depend on him."

"yes."

The manager put away the letter and sent Guo Hao out in person. Guo Hao looked at the restaurant opposite, thought for a while and took Qiunan in.

"Please come from two guests!"

The waiter asked hard and led the two upstairs. The waiter asked them what to eat. Guo Hao looked at the opposite side and felt a little moved.

"Call your shopkeeper and say I'm from the Chen family."

When the waiter heard the words Chen family, he didn't dare to be negligent and immediately ran downstairs to call the shopkeeper. He didn't have much effort to get up with a middle-aged fat man.

"I wonder what the hell is doing when I am here?"

Guo Hao looked at the shopkeeper and found that he was in his early forties, so he was a man of his own. So he smiled and said, "What is the name of shopkeeper?"

"Old man surnamed Wang."

"Oh, Manager Wang, you may not know me. Let me introduce myself. My surname is Guo, and I am a friend of your young master. I am here this time to discuss a business with you."

"It turns out it's Mr. Guo. I have heard of it for a long time. It's just that Mr. Guo is not suitable for me to talk about business."

"Why is it not suitable? I am looking for you, not the Chen family. When I see it opposite, do you know what Brother Chen wants to do?"

Since there was no signboard, Manager Wang didn't know what they were going to do, but it was filled with tables and chairs, which looked like a restaurant.

"This, the eldest master wants to open a restaurant?"

"What do you think?"

Guo Hao's fingers hit the table rhythmically, and the clattering sound touched Manager Wang's heart, making him unable to help but think about it.

There are two restaurants on the street, and they are just opposite each other. The important thing is that they are both surnamed Chen, so the business in the future may not be easy.

"It's probably inappropriate for the eldest young master to do this. It's not good for him or the Chen family."

"Since you can see it, can't Brother Chen tell it? Shopkeeper Wang, don't worry, we are not opening a restaurant."

After Guo Hao finished speaking, Manager Wang breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't afford to offend either of the two masters. If he really opened a restaurant, he wouldn't be able to do the shopkeeper.

"This is not a restaurant, what do you need so many tables and chairs to do?"

Guo Hao smiled and said, "What we want to open is a teahouse!"

"teahouse?"

Manager Wang was puzzled. Can that place make money? He didn’t know what was happening inside, and it was normal for him to have doubts.

"You don't have to think too much. I came here mainly to cooperate with you. Since we are so close, we can communicate with each other.

If guests drink tea at our place, if they are hungry, they can make a reservation with you. If your guests want to drink tea, they can also let us deliver it."

In later generations, it was normal to drink tea before meals. After all, you have to wait for the dishes to come, so you can drink some tea to moisten your mouth and breathe.

As for the teahouse, ordering food is value-added service. The Chen Family Restaurant is doing well, so you can also gain some popularity.

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate. If the guests want to have a meal, they can come to me."

Manager Wang thought Guo Hao was going to steal the customer, so he didn't want to agree. Guo Hao was not in a hurry, but instead smiled and said, "I'm thirsty now, you can get me a pot of tea."

As he said that, he put down a tael of silver, Manager Wang didn't understand what he meant, but he still ordered the waiter to cook tea.

After the tea came up, Guo Hao took a sip and said, "I want to eat roast duck, do you have it here?"

He said that, put down a piece of gold.

Seeing this, Manager Wang seemed to understand, but was just worried about the relationship between the two parties.

"Why are you standing there? Why don't you buy it for me quickly? There are also buns from the east of the city and pickles from the south of the city. If you don't buy them, I'll go to another place to eat it!"

When the waiter subconsciously reached out to grab the money when he heard this, he was stopped by Manager Wang. Manager Wang bowed to Guo Hao.

"Mr. Guo, I understand what you mean. You mean that there is nothing, and we can communicate with each other."

Guo Hao laughed and said, "By the way, I'm talking about mutual communication, not to steal your customers. If you want to steal your customers, I might as well make a chef.

Besides, I am looking for you to cooperate, not your owner. You just provide a takeaway service and can help him make more money. Why not do it?

If I wanted to cooperate with your master, I wouldn't be here. I would ask Brother Chen to come forward. If he disagrees, you will lose the opportunity to make money!"

Manager Wang nodded when he heard this. Guo Hao said it very clearly. There is no loss in the mutual communication between the two sides, mutual benefit and mutual benefit.

Moreover, to outsiders, they are all one family. Although they have already separated, they cannot write two Chen characters in a single stroke, and they are still one family after all.

"I'll thank Mr. Guo for this. I'll give you some food and drinks. I want to toast Mr. Guo."

Seeing that Manager Wang was still counting, Guo Hao nodded with satisfaction, and asked someone to get a stream of boiling water again, and then took out the tea from his arms.

"Shopkeeper Wang, try my tea, how about your tea?"

Manager Wang looked at the tea soup in front of him, smelled the fragrance of chat, picked up the bowl and took a sip, and nodded for a long time.

"Although it is bitter, it is sweet, and it has a unique taste."

Guo Hao poured a bowl for Qiu Nan, then he also poured a bowl himself, and tasted it: "This is the real tea. People will drink tea in the future. The next thing we want to sell is this kind of tea."

"oh?"

Manager Wang was a little surprised and thirsty. Although he could drink tea, he still felt that it was not as delicious as before, and the taste was a little weaker.

Guo Hao did not force this. There are all kinds of birds when the forest is big, and there are many people who like heavy tastes, but he believes that history will eventually get on the right track.

The two of them had a full meal without spending a penny. The food in Jiangnan was much better than that in Zhongyuan. The main reason was that the ingredients were good and there was no need to cook them.

Before leaving, Manager Wang asked him to come often. Guo Hao thought to himself that if I went there often and didn’t pay, I don’t know if Manager Wang could agree, but if the two sides reached a cooperation, he would not suffer any loss.

Two days later, Chen Lin obtained Guo Hao's manuscript and immediately asked someone to copy it.

This month has made him busy. There are shops everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, and they are busy with reforms. He has to focus on tea making and movable type production.

Looking at the manuscript of Journey to the West, Chen Lin relaxed for a while, but he became fascinated by this and read it all night without realizing it.

"Okay, such a wonderful story will definitely be a big hit. Send someone to print it immediately so that gentlemen can get familiar with it quickly. With this book, it is difficult for our teahouse to be hot!"

Real gold is not afraid of fire refining, and the popularity of Journey to the West is absolutely unspeakable. Chen Lin felt unsatisfied when he read it, but Guo Hao asked him to go to Jinling, so he read it again on the way.

Seven days later, Chen Lin came to Jinling with money, and Guo Hao came to greet him with Qiunan.

"Brother Guo, your books are so beautiful, and there are so many gods, how do you remember them? Could it be that you are the Wenquxing?"

"What Wenquxing, those gods have existed since ancient times. I just brought them together. Let's not talk about this anymore. Are all the things I asked you to prepare?"

"I've prepared all of them, I've brought all the tea leaves and money gifts, and gentlemen have also sent them out. All teahouses will open collectively on the 16th of the first lunar month!"

Guo Hao nodded. After two months of preparation, everything was arranged properly, but one thing needed to be done before opening, that is, give gifts.

It was just around the corner of the New Year, and they had reasons to give gifts. There were many princes and ministers in Jinling City. Those with low status would receive a serving of tea with a drinking method inside.

Those with high identities are not enough tea alone, and they must have real money and silver to reflect sincerity.

Two of them are crucial, namely ministers such as Song Qiqiu, Feng Yansi, and King Qi Li Jingsui, King E Li Jingda, and King Yan Li Hongji and other nobles.
