Chapter 181: The city is indeed prosperous, but it is not our home after all
"Bowen, let's go home. The wine sold in the city is better than ours. I don't think we can sell it here." It would be better to sell all the wine on the way home. Yang Xiaoniu applied ointment on Yang Bowen's face.
"This place really deserves to be called the provincial capital. It's big, picturesque, and prosperous everywhere." Yang Shuiqian didn't want to leave. Yang Biao was able to survive here, got married, and would soon have a child.
He also wanted to settle down in the provincial capital, bring his wife and children over, and provide them with better educational resources.
"Fucheng is indeed prosperous, but it is not our home after all!" They went to people's homes to promote the product, but people in Fucheng were picky eaters and few would buy after tasting the food. Today, he was beaten up by hooligans, and Yang Bajin also wanted to go back.
"You guys are so short-sighted. You don't care about future generations at all." Yang Shuiqian shook her head. You are a bunch of guys without ambition.
Those who live in the provincial capital were not born here, but stayed here through years of hard work.
"Raise your hands if you want to go home!" Yang Bowen was too lazy to pay attention to him and asked everyone to raise their hands to vote whether they were willing to go back.
"Ten people want to go back. Let's go. Those who want to go back should go to the street and buy some things for their wives and children." A group of fifteen people came out of the village, and only five wanted to stay.
"Wow, the Mandarin Duck Golden Tower, it looks so magnificent!" Yang Xiaoniu looked at the magnificently decorated Golden Tower and leaned over to take a look at the jewelry inside.
"Hey, Xiao Niu, if you want to buy a hairpin for your wife, just go in and buy it openly. I won't eat you." Seeing him sneaking around at the door, Yang Bowen directly dragged him into the Jinlou.
"Welcome, gentlemen. What would you like to buy?" As the two entered the door, two waiters from Jinlou came over to entertain them.
"I...I want to buy...a...hairpin." The gold and silver jewelry displayed in the jewellery building showed a unique brilliance under certain light, and Yang Xiaoniu was a little lacking in confidence.
"Oh, please follow me this way." The waiter took him to the display cabinet that specialized in selling hairpins. "All kinds of hairpins are here. Please take your time to choose."
"I'm just taking a look." Yang Bowen didn't want to buy it, so he told the truth to the guy next to him.
"Well, it's okay, take your time to look around, and call me if you need anything." Knowing that he was not going to buy anything, the clerk still had a smile on his face and took him to the jade display cabinet.
"Well, okay." Yang Bowen expressed his satisfaction with the guy's lack of snobbish eyes. He walked in front of the display cabinets in the Jinlou, looking at the jewelry.
"How much is this hairpin?" After careful selection, Yang Xiaoniu finally picked out a thin gold hairpin.
"You have a good eye. This is the most popular style in the city this year. It costs ten taels of silver." He picked out a hollow hairpin, and the waiter had a professional smile on his face.
"Ah!" The jewelry in Jinlou was so expensive that Yang Xiaoniu regretted coming in.
"Well, I'll buy this jade pendant." Yang Bowen, who originally didn't want to buy it, fell in love with the jade pendant after looking around. He thought that hanging it around his little girl's neck would ward off disasters and evil spirits.
"Young master has a very good eye. This style is particularly popular in the city right now." The clerk took out the jade pendant and handed it to Yang Bowen.
Yang Bowen felt the smoothness and coolness of the jade pendant as soon as he touched it. He also saw fine textures when he looked closely. "How much is it?"
"Sir, fifty taels of silver." Seeing that he liked it very much, the waiter smiled respectfully.
"Well, wrap it up for me." I'm buying it for my little girl, so I'm willing to give it to her no matter how expensive it is.
"Bo Wen, what did you buy?" Seeing him pay the money and take the wrapped jade pendant, Yang Xiaoniu walked over.
"For my little girl." Yang Bowen walked out with a smile.
"Please pack it for me too." Yang Xiaoniu hardened his heart and bought the gold hairpin as well.
"Goodbye, both of you. Welcome back next time!" The two waiters bowed 90 degrees.
"Hey, it's not easy for people living in the capital. They have to perform such a big ceremony." Walking on the street, Yang Bowen also imitated the waiter and bowed 90 degrees, but found that his waist could not bear it.
"Bajin," Yang Biao, who was out shopping with Hongyan, met Yang Bajin and others who were looking around.
"Brother Biao, this is..." She is so beautiful. Yang Bajin looked at Hong Yan, who was wearing purple silk and holding Yang Biao's hand.
"Oh, let me introduce you. This is Hongyan." Yang Biao first introduced Hongyan to his childhood friends, and then pointed at everyone and introduced them to her one by one, "This is Bajin, Xiaoniu, Jiangping, Xiaoyong, they are all my childhood friends."
"Hello!" Hongyan knelt down and saluted them.
"Oh, no, no..." The four of them waved their hands in panic.
"Are you selling wine?" Yang Biao saw that the four people were holding things of different sizes in their hands, obviously shopping.
"No, we want to buy some things from the city to take back, so that our trip is not in vain." Yang Xiaoniu looked at Hong Yan. What a fate Yang Biao has, marrying another beautiful woman.
"Have you eaten?" Yang Biao looked at the sky and thought it was almost time for dinner.
"I only had a bowl of wontons for lunch, and I've been hungry for a long time." Yang Xiaoyong covered his stomach. It would have been better if Yang Biao didn't say anything, but as soon as he mentioned it, he felt his stomach was about to burst with hunger.
"Okay then. I'll treat you to dinner." Hearing the sounds coming from their stomachs, Yang Biao took them to the nearest restaurant to eat.
"Just order what you want to eat." As soon as they entered the private room, Yang Biao handed them the restaurant menu.
"Wow,..." It's so expensive. The four of them took the menu happily, but they were dumbfounded when they saw the prices on the back of the menu.
"Just order whatever you want. I have a salary from the court and can afford to treat you." Seeing that they still didn't say anything, Yang Biao asked Hong Yan to go out and order food.
"Yang Biao, your wife is so beautiful." After seeing the man leave, Yang Xiaoniu came up to him.
"Really?" Yang Biao smiled, stood up and placed the dishes and chopsticks in place for them.
"Please feel free to eat these dishes. Would you like to drink?" Before long, the waiter brought the dishes and Yang Biao greeted the four people warmly.
"Brother Biao, come and drink some wine. I want to try it." Yang Shuiqian told them that the wine sold in those restaurants tasted better than the one in the village, and Yang Xiaoyong wanted to try it.
"Hiss..." Yang Xiaoyong took a small sip first and found it really delicious. Then he drank five or six glasses of wine in succession. This wine was brewed from pure grains and he would not get drunk even if he drank too much.
"Bring a bottle of wine." Yang Biao ordered the waiter. He wanted the four people to be able to taste the difference in the wines, hoping that these people in the village would give up when faced with difficulties.
It is very difficult for outsiders to get involved in the wine market in the capital city, and the government also favors the big tax payers of the wineries.
Over the past three years, 90% of the wine he brewed was sold in his own shop, and only 10% was sold through normal wine sales.
“In this provincial capital, even the dishes are served so quickly in the restaurant. The key is that there are so many customers here. Small places can’t compare at all.” Yang Xiaoniu shook his head. The last time he took his family to a restaurant in the county town to celebrate his birthday, the dishes were served slower than a snail. All the dishes were eaten up, and the next dish hadn’t arrived yet.
"Well," is there a possibility that, because I am the boss, the chef made the dish I ordered first, Yang Biao smiled brightly.
