Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 24 Making money is a big deal

Although eating is not a problem, building a house is a long way off.

So, I still have to find a way to make some money.

As for what to do, Su Yun was a little confused.

Huangzhou is relatively remote, and most of the people there are not very wealthy. If you do business like ordinary people, you probably won't make much money.

Of course, if we cooperate with the diplomatic treasury, we should be able to make some money.

However, the diplomatic corps should be wary of his background, so there is no point in trying to get close to them.

So we have to think of another way.

Su Yun thought about it for a while and found that his previous business experience was not useless. It mainly took time and cost. If he just wanted to build a house, he could just wait.

At that time, Cai Jingfan, who passed the imperial examination in the same year as Su Shi, was appointed Deputy Envoy of Huainan Transportation, and Huangzhou was under his jurisdiction.

In October of the fifth year of Yuanfeng, he inspected the subordinate counties and came to Huangzhou. He made a special trip to Lingao Pavilion to visit Su Shi. Seeing that Su Shi's residence was cramped, he funded the construction of three tiled houses for him. Su Shi named this new residence Nantang.

But he still has to wait one or two years. Thinking of being watched by others for two years, Su Yun felt a little desperate.

Still have to build a house!

Su Yun made a decision in his heart.

But where does the money come from?
Su Yun was standing at Lingao Pavilion looking at the river, when he suddenly saw a towering building in the distance. It was the place most admired by the people of Huangzhou, named Wangjiang Tower.

As the name suggests, Wangjiang Tower is built by the river. From it one can overlook the river and have an excellent view.

Wangjianglou mainly does restaurant business. There are even people from Ezhou who come here by boat specifically to check in and eat, so the business is quite prosperous.

Ok?
Su Yun suddenly had an idea and turned around and shouted, "Ah Hui! Ah Hui!"

"What's the matter, Yun?"

Ah Ying came in response.

Su Yun pointed at Wangjiang Tower and said, "Ah Hui, there should be more than one Wangjiang Tower and one restaurant nearby, right?"

Ah Hui looked at Wangjiang Tower and said with a smile: "Of course there are more than one, but Wangjiang Tower is definitely the best. No matter how many restaurants are opened by the river, Wangjiang Tower is the best. Everyone recognizes Wangjiang Tower!

The shad soup of Wangjiang Tower is highly praised even by visitors from the capital. I have even sent fish to Wangjiang Tower before."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Who owns the second restaurant?"

Ah Hui scratched his head and said, "As for second place, I don't know. Everyone only knows who is first, so who cares who is second."

Su Yun smiled and said, "There will be some in the future. Which ones are doing better?"

Ah Hui said, “It’s hard to say, but when I was fishing on the river bank, I saw a few boats that often docked there.

For example, Linjiang Tower, Fanjiang Tower and Yanjiang Tower, these three are quite good, but they are far inferior to Wangjiang Tower.

There is no room for any boats at Wangjiang Tower’s dock, but on the other three floors, you can dock wherever you want.”

Su Yun nodded and said, "Come on, take me to the nearest restaurant."

Ah Hui said, "Ah Yun, do you want to eat? I'm already cooking." Su Yun smiled and said, "No, I have to make some money."

After hearing what Su Yun said, Ah Hui quickly returned to the kitchen, probably put out the stove or something, then hurried to the riverside to untie the rope and called Su Yun to get off.

Su Yun changed his clothes and boarded the boat leisurely. Ah Hui asked in surprise, "Ah Yun, are you going on a blind date? Why are you dressed so nicely today?"

Su Yun usually wore gray clothes, but this time he changed into a royal blue shirt, and instantly turned into a handsome young man in this world, making people forget the worldly affairs when they saw him.

Su Yun smiled and said, "Almost, let's go."

Ah Hui was doubtful, so he rowed the boat into the river and said, "The nearest restaurant is called Linjianglou. Shall we go there?"

Su Yun nodded and said, "Okay."

The boat passed by Wangjiang Tower, which was very majestic. The dock was indeed bustling with people. A few hundred meters down, there was another restaurant built by the river.

This restaurant looks quite large, but it is much inferior to Wangjiang Tower. The number of boats at the dock is not even one-tenth of that of Wangjiang Tower.

Su Yun nodded in satisfaction. Ah Hui skillfully operated the oars and rowed the boat in. A man in steward's clothes on the dock smiled and said, "Ah Hui, are there any more fish today?"

Ah Hui smiled and said, "I haven't been fishing recently. I'm cooking for my young master."

The steward had already seen the Zhuo Shi Jia Young Master on Ah Hui's boat and just asked casually. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "It's this young master, right? Are you here to entertain guests today?"

Su Yun smiled and said, "Please tell the shopkeeper that I have something important to discuss with him. Please take the time to see him."

Seeing Su Yun's dignified demeanor, the steward did not dare to neglect him. He quickly caught the rope thrown by Ah Hui, tied it carefully, and then reached out to pull Su Yun. After Su Yun stood up, he said, "Please tell me your name, so that I can explain it to the shopkeeper."

Su Yun nodded and said, "Just say that Jiangyou Su Lang is here."

When Su Yun said this, he just felt a burning sensation on his face. It was nothing else but a feeling of great shame.

He felt ashamed, but the steward was pleasantly surprised and shouted, "It turns out that it is Jiang You Su Lang who is here. Su Lang, please come in, please come in!"

His words immediately attracted the attention of the guests who were about to get off or get on the boat. They all looked over and someone asked loudly, "Hey, steward, were you talking about Jiang You Su Lang coming?"

The steward responded loudly, "Yes, it is the Jiangyou Su Lang who is unparalleled in filial piety and looks like a Song Dynasty man!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the guests who were about to disembark from the boat immediately quickened their pace and walked towards this side. Those who were about to board the boat to leave did not get on and also swarmed over here, craning their necks to see what the legendary Jiangyou Su Lang looked like. All of a sudden, the dock became very lively.

Ah Hui was a little annoyed. He knew that Su Yun didn't like being watched by others, so he shouted, "Manager Xu, how could you be like this!"

Manager Xu bowed repeatedly and whispered, "Master Su, please don't blame me."

Su Yun was not annoyed either, and said with a smile: "Come on, take me to see your shopkeeper."

Seeing that more and more people were coming, Manager Xu quickly called his servants to escort Su Yun inside.

Su Yun waved and greeted the guests who were watching, then followed the waiters to squeeze inside. At this time, the owner of Linjianglou had heard the news and came running out quickly to pick up Su Yun and go upstairs.

At this time, the guests dining inside the building also heard the noise outside and stood up to see what was going on. The noises outside also came in. They heard that Jiang You Su Lang had arrived, so they also wanted to see what he looked like.

Su Yun was escorted by the shopkeeper upstairs, where there was a special room for receiving distinguished guests. Just as Su Yun and his companions went upstairs and entered the room, the owner of Linjiang Building hurried over.

The Maitreya-like boss shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Where is Jiangyou Su Lang, where is Jiangyou Su Lang?"
