Merchant of Otherworlds

Chapter 4 Wangjiang Tower

The Wind and Rain Tower is located in the west of Chang'an City; among the many restaurants in Chang'an, it is not at all eye-catching. Even before Yuling entered, few people knew that there was such a restaurant in Chang'an.But such an inconspicuous restaurant has been regarded as a holy place by many disciples of the Holy Cult a hundred years later, and many high-ranking officials and nobles can't get a room...

Yu Ling just approached Fengyulou; the waiter who greeted the guests immediately greeted him, and smiled at Yuling: "Master, are you staying in a restaurant or eating? It's not my fault; although our store in Fengfenglou is not big, we The meal made by the proprietress will never make you forget;

Yu Ling nodded secretly; she was quite satisfied with Xiao Er's service, so she threw a piece of broken silver and said with a smile: "Give me a private room, and; call me your boss, I have a business idea Talk to him, if it works out; the benefits will come to you."

Xiaoer hurriedly took the banker and said with a smile: "Don't worry; I promise to call the boss to you, or you can ask me." After speaking, he quickly led Yuling into the restaurant; Their boss is going!

It wasn't long before Yu Ling sat down, Xiao Er had already called their boss, maybe the business was not so good; they didn't invite many people!Look at the boss's appearance; since it looks like he just finished his work in the backyard.If Xiao Er hadn't repeatedly assured that that person was the boss, Yu Ling really couldn't believe that this person who was more like the shop Xiao Er than the shop Xiao Er would be the boss of this shop.

Although I am not very satisfied with the boss's appearance, but now other than this kind of shop, it seems that other restaurants don't really believe in me.In the end, holding the mentality that something is better than nothing; Yu Ling still tried to ask the boss: "Boss! The current business is not easy to do! Come and sit... Let's chat while eating."

The boss was not polite, sat down and complained: "That's not true; I don't know what those customers think, even if our store is economical, they don't come, and they can spend dozens of taels to eat in other restaurants. Taoist cuisine; don't come to us for a big meal...you have seen it; now most of our guests here are not very rich...Of course; you don't count."

Maybe I also found out that I said something wrong!The boss smiled embarrassingly; then continued: "Don't say that we don't have much profit by doing this now; just say that the protection fee is not a small amount. If it weren't for the bad world outside now, I don't even want to do it again." Let's go, no! As soon as I heard that you wanted to discuss business with me, I ran over in a hurry, and even forgot to change a piece of clothes; it made the guests laugh.

Yu Ling waved his hand and said, "Big brother; since you've already said that, I won't waste any more time. That's the thing, I want to invest in your restaurant. Of course; if you don't want to, you don't have to. ;I have an idea, which can improve the business of your restaurant, I don't know what my brother thinks?"

The shop owner thought about it hesitantly; then he said: "Brother; it's not that I can't trust you, you can try the method; we have basically tried it, but you have also seen the effect. Brother, why don't you put your thoughts first. Tell me; if it’s good, then even if you don’t pay a tael of silver; brother, I will also give you a large dividend, what do you think?”

Yu Ling thought that even if he told the boss about his method, he might not be able to do it alone, so he couldn't help saying generously: "No problem!" After speaking, he took out two... rubber bands from his pocket.

Seeing the boss's puzzled look, Yu Ling smiled and said, "Boss, look... this rubber band has already been pulled by me, and the other rubber band should be impossible to get through, right?" After seeing the boss nodding; Cai said: "But; please see..." After finishing speaking, he only moved slightly, and the rubber band that was impossible to pass passed through like this. "(Everyone should have seen this magic trick! It's a very old magic trick, because it has the least props, so I'll use him here.)
Look at the boss again; now he is stunned, he snatches the rubber band from Yu Ling's hand; he looks again and again.But I couldn't find the difference, so I couldn't help but sighed: "I didn't expect that since my brother knows magic, do you want to change the guests of other restaurants into our restaurant?" Because I have never seen magic tricks before. performance, so the store owner can only use magic to explain this incomprehensible phenomenon.

But Yu Ling shook her head and said in denial: "How can the fairy art be used in this area. I mean; if I perform the fairy art in your restaurant, what do you think will happen to your restaurant's business?"

The boss immediately replied affirmatively: "That's needless to say; if my brother is willing to condescend to perform in our restaurant, it won't attract people from Quan Chang'an to our restaurant! If you can come to our restaurant to perform; brother, I will Give 60.00%...no; 80.00% of the dividends of our restaurant to you, brother."

Yu Ling shook his head again and again, the boss shook his head in disappointment and said, "That's right; with your great abilities, brother, how could you possibly value such a small shop like mine?"

When Yu Ling saw her boss acting like this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, boss, I didn't say I won't perform in your restaurant. I just want to say, I can't ask for your dividends in vain, otherwise, then who will I be?"

After finishing speaking, he took out a bag of silver taels from his pocket, probably worth hundreds of taels!Yu Ling threw it to the boss with a heartbroken face; pretending to be generous: "Boss, take these silver taels, and then redecorate this restaurant according to my requirements. Otherwise; with your current layout, there are really not many people. Individuals will come in. If no guests come in, no matter how brilliant my performance is; it's useless if no one is watching!"

The boss then nodded again and again: "That's it; that's it. I've discovered this problem a long time ago, but because I don't have that much cash to pay for renovations, so I can only make do with it. If; Brother, if your performance is decorated better, I think our Fengfeng Restaurant can definitely make a fortune in the west of the city."

Yu Ling nodded repeatedly and said: "Boss, you changed the signboard of Fengyulou. The name Fengyulou is too imposing. It is an important place in the capital; most of them are dignitaries. How can you use such a name."

The boss has completely convinced Yu Ling now; he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay; at the beginning, it was a market business, so it was named like this. Now that the business is going to be bigger, then of course the name has to be changed. After finishing speaking, he looked at Yu Ling and said: "Since you have already said that, brother, I think you have already made up your mind. Tell me! Change your name; from today on, you will be the owner of this restaurant. You work. As long as you are well-off in the future, my brother; don't forget about my brother."

Yu Ling shook his head again and again and said: "Brother is too polite, of course you are in charge of this restaurant, and I'm just offering ideas. In the end; it's not all about you, brother, you are the one who is responsible for these things. I can’t do it.” After thinking about it, I suddenly thought of an ancient absolute that I accidentally remembered back then, and I couldn’t help but read: “Wangjiang Tower, Wangjiang Flow, Wangjiang Tower, Wangjiang Flow, Jianglou Eternal , the river flows through the ages."

The boss immediately said: "Okay; the name of our restaurant is 'Wangjianglou'."

"But we don't have Jiang here? If this is the case, it won't be a good scene!" Although Yu Ling is quite satisfied with the name.But considering that this place must be in the city; it has nothing to do with Jiangliu, so it is really inappropriate to use such a name.

But he didn't want to, but the shop owner said: "It doesn't matter; not far to the west of Chang'an is the Yangtze River. Our restaurant is in the west of the city. As long as we open the store facing the direction of the Yangtze River, there will be no discomfort. If we wait until we have sufficient funds in the future; We completely built the restaurant higher, so that the name Wangjiang Tower, although it is not built on the riverside, has a different flavor. I didn’t expect that in addition to my superb celestial skills, my brother is also good at reciting poems correctly. You are a master! I am so lucky to meet you, brother!"

Seeing that the boss was so excited, Yu Ling couldn't help but respond, "Where is it? It should be said that I was able to meet my brother, and I didn't say that I was lucky or not; I just said, 'Fate!'"
