Zhengcheng, the provincial capital of Heluo Province, got its name because Zheng is the largest surname in the city, and there are three or four households with the surname Zheng.
Zheng City has a square layout, also known as Sifang City. It has a population of nearly one million and is very prosperous. There is Huangque Restaurant in the east of the city, which is an extremely famous restaurant in the entire Heluo Province.
There are two most famous dishes in Huangque Restaurant. One is fried oriole in oil. Selected oriole belly is stuffed with ham, mushroom paste and other things. It is first smeared with sauce and steamed until it is about 70% cooked, and then it is quickly put into the oil pan.
Deep-fried in oil, the outer skin is crispy and tender, but the inside is tender and juicy. It’s just the size of one bite, and even the fine bones are soft and delicious, and can be chewed and swallowed.
Another famous dish is pickled sheep head meat. The sheep head is marinated with fine rice wine and spices, then the meat is sliced, pressed with a stone overnight to make it firm, and then steamed in a steamer. When eaten, the meat is moderately fat and lean, and the meat is chewy.
The unique flavor is hard to describe.
Whenever wealthy businessmen in provincial cities want to entertain private guests, Huangque Tower is their first choice. At this time of the cold winter months, when mutton is more delicious and nutritious, naturally more people want to feast at Huangque Tower. But this is
On that day, the entire Huangque Tower was booked. In one morning, luxurious carriages were parked in front of the restaurant and in the backyard.
The lobby on the second floor of Huangque Building is clean and clear. The floor is covered with a thick red carpet. The original small square tables have been moved away and a huge round table has been placed.
There are already more than ten wealthy businessmen sitting on the round table, all of whom have extraordinary demeanor. One of the attendants is standing against the wall, and the atmosphere is very solemn.
Suddenly, a skinny old man in gray robe walked quickly upstairs, lifted the hem of his clothes, and said eagerly and excitedly: "Shopkeeper Zhang Da is here."
More than a dozen wealthy businessmen all stood up immediately. They heard the creaking of the wooden stairs below, like an elephant stepping upstairs. After a while, they saw a man wearing a white leather robe embroidered with longevity characters. His body was extremely bloated.
A fat man, who was usually three people tall, walked up the stairs panting with the support of two attendants, with sweat on his forehead.
"Shopkeeper Zhang Da."
The more than ten wealthy businessmen who were waiting were also sweating. When they saw the fat body finally stepped firmly on the floor with a thud, the more than ten wealthy businessmen all breathed a sigh of relief and said hello one after another.
"It's not easy, it's really embarrassing."
The fat merchant, who was three times as big as a man, smiled bitterly and took out a brocade handkerchief to wipe his sweat. "I am so fat that I am ashamed to see people. I haven't gone out for two years. Now I don't expect that I will be raped by a rising great man."
Xiang is forced to do this."
"Shopkeeper Zhang is serious about his words."
Although this fat merchant was in poor physical appearance, he was the most important figure among all the merchants present. And everyone knew that although this man was gluttonous and fat, he was a genius in business, so everyone present had no contempt for him.
It means a lot of respect.
"The news is confirmed." The fat businessman sat down on a special chair. He was still out of breath, but he didn't talk nonsense and started talking about business directly: "Dade Xiang has such a big deal.
It’s not that I have such a huge accumulation of financial resources, but that I received a large sum of money from Da Shang Gao.”
When several merchants heard this, they all exclaimed: "It's really great!"
"Everyone, please be patient and listen to what Shopkeeper Zhang has to say in detail." An old man wearing a leather hat and a thick green coat glanced at the merchants and said in a deep voice: "This time, although Da Dexiang's handwriting is
Although the amount of money paid by Dasheng Gao is definitely huge, if Da Dexiang does not manage well, Dasheng Gao cannot invest endlessly. After all, there is no life-long friendship between the two. I heard that other wealthy people in Shanyin Province
It seems that they don’t agree with Dasheng Gao’s big bet, so Dasheng Gao should not be able to mobilize the money of other Shanyin fellow villagers, but Dasheng Gao’s family is not so scary.”
The fat merchant opened his mink collar a little, glanced at the old shopkeeper approvingly, and said: "What your shopkeeper said is the same as what I want to say. The most terrifying thing for these wealthy people in Shanyin Province is to meet a wealthy family.
It was difficult for them, so they got together and helped each other, but this time it was just a matter between Dashengao and Da Dexiang. This time Dashengao was given a lot of silver. By next year, Dashengao will definitely not have so much extra silver.
Let’s do it again, so we just need to survive Da Dexiang’s first wave of attacks.”
Upon hearing the fat businessman's words, everyone in the hall fell silent, just waiting for him to speak again.
"Everyone understood what they meant earlier. According to Da Dexiang's work in Qixia Province, it is like a ferocious beast. Other commercial banks will either close down and change their business, or they will be eaten by it and become branches. In this world, the most important thing in doing business is
The key point is nothing more than giving people benefits and being honest and honest." The fat businessman took a deep breath, but he seemed to have some general demeanor. He said with great confidence: "What Da Dexiang did before, everyone must also do it now.
Now that we are doing it, the next step to curb Da Dexiang is very simple, that is, we need to provide more benefits, make the rice and noodles better, and lower the price. But if our various businesses cannot reach an agreement, if
Some people have different intentions and want to take advantage of the big fish to eat the small fish and grow bigger first. Under the mutual strife, not only may the price of rice and noodles be pushed down even lower, but in the chaos, they will all be defeated by Da Dexiang.
It’s too late to regret.”
"The idea of Shopkeeper Zhang is also our idea." More than a dozen merchants were overjoyed when they heard this, and they all said: "Before Shopkeeper Zhang came, we had already made similar plans. We felt that in order to deal with Da De
Xiang, the most effective thing is for us trading firms to join forces. It’s just that shopkeeper Zhang Da’s Tianfeng Jade Pearl Shop is much bigger than all of our shops, so I’m afraid shopkeeper Zhang Da doesn’t want to do this joint venture.”
"That big shopkeeper Da Dexiang is really a very good person. Looking at every step of Da Dexiang's previous actions, I have no confidence in his ability to make decisions." The fat businessman smiled bitterly, "Even if I don't have confidence, I am seventeen meters away.
Municipal joint venture is the best way to deal with the encroachment of Da Dexiang."
Hearing Zhang Abacus, who has been recognized as a genius in the business field for more than ten years, say this, the other merchants present felt pity and joy.
Since the opinions were completely unanimous, they only mentioned a few details, and immediately prepared paper and inkstones, and directly began to draw up the details, and established a temporary joint venture contract between seventeen firms.
…
The new year is approaching, and the war provoked by Wenren Cangyue at the Qianxia border has temporarily stopped. The angry Yunqin and the indifferent Wenren Cangyue are gathering momentum and preparing. And within the Yunqin Empire, a war is also going on.
It was a war without swords and swords, and the seventeen companies had each occupied some territory. It was like each of them was king. The main business of rice and noodles was actually forced to enter into a joint venture just because of some actions of Da Dexiang.
Just a trading company that occupies the rice and flour business in a province has forced these companies to act like this just by issuing many semicolons. This is no longer caused by financial intimidation, but because of the talents of the big shopkeepers, which made the leaders of these companies feel it.
A deadly threat.
When seventeen firms formally signed the joint venture contract, in a quiet courtyard in Dafu Town, Qixia Province, the real helmsman of Da Dexiang, Lin Xi, had quietly ushered in an extremely important moment in his practice.
.
After Biluoling was injured, with the help of the medicine that Tang Yuren and others gave him, and with his days of hard training that even a person like Nangong Weiyang couldn't do, before the end of the year, he finally
Breakthrough to the level of national scholar.
For ordinary practitioners, the rank of National Scholar is just a breakthrough in physical strength and soul power, but for Lin Xi, it has a much greater significance.
Because the inscription left by Dean Zhang clearly told him that the "blue roulette" in his body could be pushed little by little, and that after reaching the rank of national scholar, it would be different from before.
…
In a quiet wing with ice hanging on the eaves, Lin Xi closed her eyes and quietly felt the "blue roulette" in her mind.
After breaking through to the level of national scholar, this "green roulette" seems to be clearer and brighter in my mind, but there seems to be no change in the senses.
This strange energy, deduced by Dean Zhang as a combination of spiritual power and energy in the universe during time travel, is still the flat blue mass.
In the absence of any changes in appearance, it is impossible to guess what kind of changes his unique ability has undergone by just relying on perception. The only way is to experiment.
"A little push?"
Lin Xi thought about the words left by her only true fellow countryman in the world, Dean Zhang, and stretched out her finger to make a scratch on the table in front of her.
As his soul power surged softly, his finger flashed with a faint light and became as hard as gold and iron, leaving a deep mark on the table.
"go back…"
Without too much hesitation, he shouted softly in his heart, pushing the "blue roulette" in his mind.
As the familiar scenery changed rapidly, he returned to where he stopped before, and there was no trace on the tabletop.
The "green roulette" in his mind was still shining brightly. The difference from before was that he inexplicably felt that this "blue roulette" still seemed to be able to move. It was not like this "green roulette" after using this special ability once before.
"Blue Roulette" will naturally become lifeless.
Holding back the shock and surprise in her heart, Lin Xi stretched out her finger again and made another deep mark on the table.
"go back…"
After making this deep mark, he shouted softly in his heart again, and tried again to push the "blue roulette" in his mind.
His heart suddenly stopped.
In front of his eyes, an extremely familiar scene appeared again, and the scenery changed very quickly as if his whole life had passed by in an instant.
This time he was thinking silently in his mind about going back to the first stop, which was one minute ago.
And on the table in front of him, the deep scratches he made for the second time disappeared without a trace.
In other words, he successfully used his unique ability again!
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment.
The "green roulette" in his mind gave him a feeling that it was still alive and did not fall into deathly silence.
