"Ding ding ding~~~"

"Look, look!"

"New store opening celebration, big discounts, all purchases in the store will be 20% off!"

The next day, early in the morning.

The skinny monkey picked up the gong and started shouting in front of the store in Xishi.

Soon, it attracted many people to stop and watch.

But these people all looked like they were watching a show.

I had absolutely no intention of going into the store to buy anything.

This is completely opposite to the heated scene that I had imagined!

Seeing this, Zhuang Zhou also came out to greet the guests personally:

"Dear uncles and aunts, fellow villagers and elders!"

"Today is our grand opening day. All products are 20% off."

"Hey! Hey, little brother, what does 20% off mean?"

"Oh, 20% off means only 80% of the selling price."

"So what do you sell in your store?"

When Zhuang Zhou heard someone was interested, he quickly introduced:

"Uncle, my store sells some new things."

"For example, there are lighters for washing hair and making fire..."

"Anyway, you can go into the store and take a closer look."

But when Zhuang Zhou said this, the uncle's face suddenly became gloomy.

Then he shook his head and left.

When he was leaving, there was clearly a look of concern for the mentally retarded in his eyes.

Damn it!

I won't be taken for a fool!

The sun is almost at its zenith.

Wang Zhigui hurried over:

"Brother Zhuang, I'm so sorry!"

Zhuang Zhou took a look and wondered why he was the only one there!

"Lao Wang, where are the business friends you were asked to contact?"

"Ah! Don't mention it!"

Wang Zhigui looked gloomy and very annoyed:

"We had originally agreed to come and support the grand opening today, but who knew they wouldn't dare to come."

"What's going on?"

Wang Zhigui whispered in his ear.

It turned out that Zhuang Zhou had opened a new store, but he did not visit an important person.

It was Zhao Dewang, the president of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce.

So Zhao Dewang informed everyone and told them not to go.

At this point, Wang Zhigui seemed very apologetic:

"Brother Zhuang, this matter is still my fault."

"What does it have to do with you?"

"Didn't you give me Jin Jun Mei tea? I sent a can to Mr. Zhao."

"But he asked about the origin of this tea, and I told him everything."

"At that time, Mr. Zhao asked you to visit him and talk to you about opening a store."

"But I've been so busy these past two days that I forgot about it. Oh!"

Zhuang Zhou understood everything clearly. This guy named Zhao Dewang obviously wanted to get a piece of the pie!

"Brother Wang, if they don't want to come, then don't come. I won't beg that Zhao Dewang anyway."

"Brother Zhuang, what you said is not true! If you want to do business in Chang'an, there is no way you can get past Zhao Dewang."

"Then let's talk about it later!"

Zhuang Zhou didn't want to say anything more, since today was the first day of business.

Even if there was no business, he would not ask Zhao Dewang for help.

Because once you go there, you will never be able to survive in Chang'an again.

If you respect me one foot, I will respect you ten feet.

Anyway, my shop is full of fun stuff, so I don’t believe there won’t be any customers coming.

After bidding farewell to Wang Zhigui, Zhuang Zhou asked Fat Tiger and Skinny Monkey to beat gongs and promote business on the street.

…

…

At this time, on the streets of Xishi.

Two people were strolling slowly on the street.

It was Changsun Chong, the son of Princess Changle Li Lizhi and Duke Zhao Changsun Wuji.

"Cousin, why can't I run into that person again?"

"My jade token is still in his hands!"

Changle complained to his cousin Changsun Chong.

When Chang Sun Chong heard his cousin mention that person, his heart suddenly shuddered.

The scene of that night is still vivid in my mind.

He was hiding in the corner and saw everything clearly.

I was so scared that I peed myself!

"Cousin, I've already severely punished that man and vented your anger, but the jade token is not with him."

Chang Sun Chong told lies to cover up his inner guilt.

At this moment, Changle suddenly saw someone in front of him beating a gong and shouting:

"Hey, cousin, when did a store open here?"

Changle saw the plaque on the shop at a glance:

"Zhuang's Grocery Store, the calligraphy is so beautiful."

I was attracted by the five large Yan-style characters on the plaque at first sight.

Yan style calligraphy was created by the famous calligrapher Yan Zhenqing. The characters are dignified, majestic and vigorous.

It was widely circulated in later generations.

But Yan Zhenqing wasn’t born yet!

Changle has been learning calligraphy since he was a child, so he can naturally tell at a glance that this is the work of a famous calligrapher.

But I don’t know which famous artist wrote this masterpiece.

So he quickened his pace, wanting to go forward and find out what was going on.

"Cousin, wait for me!"

Chang Sun Chong hurriedly followed.

Arriving in front of the store, Changle took another look at the words on the plaque.

Then he went straight into the shop.

Zhuang Zhou was yawning when he suddenly saw two people walking in.

He hurried out to greet them: "Welcome!"

The two men were one tall and one short. The shorter one had a handsome appearance, while the taller one had a fair and delicate complexion.

He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and it was obvious that he was a child of nobility.

etc.

Isn’t this that handsome young man again?

And the guy next to him was the one who asked someone to hit him that night.

As soon as Zhuang Zhou saw these two people, he immediately felt like killing them.

"Why is it you?"
