Don’t Show the Son

  Chapter 16 Cooperation

  Lin Xiu paced the street, thinking in her heart how to realize her ability as quickly as possible.

  This kind of hot weather lasts for at most one month, and it will slowly cool down. At that time, people's demand for cooling off will not be so strong.

  If you want to make money, you have to be as early as possible.

   However, even if Lin Xiu is anxious, things will have to be resolved one by one.

  First of all, the location is chosen. The place for selling ice must be chosen near the residences of the dignitaries. They usually live in luxury and luxury, and will not be stingy with money.

  And the people who live on the food and clothing line, even if it is hot, they will not spend money on it.

  Secondly, he can’t make ice out of thin air like Lingyin, so he needs to choose a place where water is convenient. It’s best to rent a mansion with a well...

The idea of ​​   just flashed through Lin Xiu's mind, and was completely denied by him.

  The mansions there are all owned by the owner, and the owner's status is noble and respected, and it is impossible to rent to oneself. Even if the ownerless mansion is vacant, the rent is not affordable by oneself.

  Lin Xiu found sadly that even though he already had a way to make money, he could not implement it temporarily because of lack of start-up funds.

Opportunity cannot be missed, time will never come. At present, it can be said that he has a monopoly on ice making. Every day this plan is postponed, his loss is huge. In desperation, Lin Xiu can only retreat to second place and keep his eyes on Throwing into the rows of shops on both sides of the street.

  This is the residential area of ​​the royal capital. There are rows of shops on the street, brothel, music hall, restaurant and tea shop, and the decoration is extremely gorgeous, and the consumption inside is even more expensive. It is the famous gold cave of the king.

  No matter how much money you have, you can spend it clean after walking on this street.

  Lin Xiu glanced away and walked to a restaurant.

  ...

  Picking the Moon Tower.

  As one of the most famous restaurants in the royal capital, the business of Zieyuelou has always been very good. Even the dignitaries and dignitaries in the dynasty often patronize here, or in other words, the guests of the princely dignitaries are the dignitaries of the royal capital.

   Ordinary people don’t even know where the gate of the Moon Tower opens, and even some small powers can’t afford to spend it here.

  But today, it’s time for lunch. On weekdays, the Jieyuelou, which is full of guests, does not have a single guest.

  Hot air rushed from all directions, and the waiters in the restaurant lay weakly on the table, their clothes already wet with sweat, and their voices seemed very weak.

   "Hey, when is the head in this weather?"

   "It's been half an hour, and there is not a single guest."

  "The ice mirror is empty, and the building is like a steamer. Which guest is willing to sit here and suffer?"

  ...

  When several attendants were talking quietly, two figures walked in from outside.

  The person walking in front is a handsome young man. A strong man is following him, who should be his guard.

  An attendant stood up with a strong support on his body, with a smile on his face, and asked: "What can the guest officer eat?"

   Lin Xiu said straightforwardly: "I'm not here to eat, I'm looking for your shopkeeper."

  He didn't eat in the restaurant. If it was someone else, the upset attendant might have sent him away, but the young man in front of him was extraordinary, and his clothes were noble. At first sight, he was not an ordinary civilian.

  The waiter patiently walked to the back and invited the shopkeeper out.

The shopkeeper of Zieyuelou was a middle-aged man, not tall and slightly fat. He walked in from behind reluctantly, arched his hand at Lin Xiu, and asked: "I don’t know what your surname is, come to Zheyuelou. What's the matter?"

  Lin Xiu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and slowly stretched out his palm, and ice spread from the palm of his hand.

  As the ice layer appeared, the surrounding temperature also dropped a bit.

The sudden appearance of coolness caused the body of the treasurer of Yueyuelou to feel aroused, and then his mung bean-like eyes shone straight, as if afraid that Lin Xiu would run away, he grabbed his hand abruptly, and said excitedly: "My son, Lou Lou. Let's talk!"

   Picking up the second floor of the Moon Tower, in an Accord.

  After the shopkeeper of Zieyuelou ordered the waiter to serve tea, he looked at Lin Xiu with scorching eyes and asked: "Is the son's different art, is it ice..."

Lin Xiu did not speak, but just picked up the tea cup. The heat in the cup quickly turned into cold air. He took a sip of iced tea, looked at the shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou, and said, "I won't talk nonsense. , I would like to borrow a well from your place for use. As for the cost, ten taels of silver a day."

Zieyuelou's shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and immediately understood what he meant. His eyes flashed, his body leaned back, and said with a smile: "It seems that the young man also knows that the weather is hot recently and the source of ice in King Capital is in short supply. There is no market. With the son's ability, it is not difficult to make money every day. The price of ten taels a day is probably a bit low."

  Lin Xiu raised her eyebrows and asked: "Then how much do you think is appropriate?"

  Twelve taels of silver is enough for a family of five to worry about food and clothing for a year, and can eat meat every few days. His salary for a month in Qinglisi is only eight taels. Isn't it such a rich and powerful person?

  Ziyuelou shopkeeper smiled slightly and said: "At least fifty taels."

"make a deal!"

  Lin Xiu patted the table and said, “It's worthy of picking up the moon tower. It's lavish to shoot. Since the shopkeeper is so sincere, I don't have to go to other places.”

  The shopkeeper of Jiyuelou was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, and said: "The son means that these fifty taels are for you by Jiyuelou?"

  Lin Xiu asked, "Otherwise?"

  The shopkeeper of Zieyuelou's eyes flashed faintly, and then he smiled and said, "My son is joking, and you want to borrow the water well from Zieyuelou, do you want us to give you money?"

  Lin Xiu didn’t even look at him. She stood up and said lightly: “Since the shopkeeper is not sincere, then forget it. I think the Piaoxianglou opposite, maybe more sincere than you.”

  Seeing that Lin Xiu was really going to leave, the shopkeeper of Jiyuelou quickly got up and asked to stay: "The son stays, stays!"

According to normal people’s thinking, this person borrowed the water well from the Moon Tower. He should pay the Moon Tower silver. But now it’s hard to find the King’s Capital, and the business in the Moon Tower is bleak. If you can keep this person, for Picking the moon tower for ice, and the profit from it, is five thousand taels, fifty thousand taels of silver.

  The ice storage in the major ice storages of the Royal Capital is in a hurry. I am afraid that only the Royal Palace can have the remaining ice. If this person is left, Zieyuelou is the only restaurant in the Royal Capital that can provide ice. Will there be no business at that time?

  The shopkeeper wanted to pretend to be stupid just now, thinking that this young man could not understand the pros and cons, but he didn't expect that his innocence was himself. At such a special time, if he pushed this person to his opponent, he would have the heart to die.

  The shopkeeper grabbed Lin Xiu’s arm and said, “Twelve taels of silver, twelve taels of silver, as long as the son can provide ice for the Moon Tower, the Moon Tower will give you 12 silver every day!"

Lin Xiu smiled and looked at him, and said, "The weather is hot recently, and the ice source in the capital is in short supply. There is no market. With my ability, it is not difficult to make money every day. The price of twelve taels a day is probably a bit low. "

  He returned what the shopkeeper had just said, and returned it to him intact.

  The shopkeeper of Zieyuelou looked at Lin Xiu blankly, and couldn't wait to poke her own mouth. Why did she have those two more words just now?

  He was crying and asked: "The son thinks, how much is appropriate?"

   Lin Xiu said: "Fifty taels."

  The shopkeeper looked at him, and complained: "My son, you are stealing money!"

  Lin Xiu was not moved at all, and said, “If the shopkeeper thinks it’s expensive, I’ll go and ask elsewhere.”

"No need to!"

  The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said: "Fifty taels is fifty taels, but the son has to promise me one condition. Except for me, I can't provide ice for other places!"

   Although Fifty Taels is also very painful, the value that this young man can create for Zhan Yuelou is ten times or even a thousand times that of Fifty Taels. He can still figure out this account.

  Lin Xiu looked at him and said, “In this case, the price may be higher...”

  The shopkeeper of the Moon Tower said: "I would like to offer five times the market price!"

  Lin Xiu smiled slightly and nodded: "Happy cooperation..."

  　 posted together, looking coherent.
