This is Wu Feng's biggest headache. At this moment, he himself feels a little confused. Are his feelings too excessive, or have he not given any real feelings at all? Why do I always want to avoid marriage? It seems that I need to analyze my emotional problems carefully.
"Well, I think there should be a result. Angel, she definitely can't run away. As for there are still some people, they will be mine sooner or later, hehehehehe!" Wu Feng changed the topic and added by the way. While teasing the two girls, a pair of eyes that exuded bursts of light that all women understand wandered over the two girls again.
"Bah!" the two girls said almost simultaneously, "A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!" But they were secretly happy in their hearts.
"Okay, let's not talk about this sensitive topic. I have talked enough with the guests just now. I think we should go for a walk and take a look at the scenery of the imperial capital. The weather is good today. I haven't been in such a good mood for a long time." Wu Feng stood up with a smile, "How about, where do you want to go for a walk? If you don't leave, someone will come to the door again, and you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
Qin and Gu were both surprised and happy. It was a rare opportunity to go out and rest with Wu Feng without any restrictions. How could they not cherish it
"Are you going with us?" Gu Mingxia asked in disbelief, a pair of clear black eyes rolling over Wu Feng's face, "Really?"
"What, you don't want me to accompany you two?" Wu Feng also looked back at Gu Mingxia's charming face. The delicate and smooth face made Wu Feng wish he could reach out and grab her to feel the girl's beauty. flavor.
"I have my wish, but I don't dare to invite you." Qin Shuangying replied delicately.
"Then why don't you change your clothes and go out? What are you waiting for?!" Wu Feng laughed loudly.
The sunny days before the end of the year are the most joyful. The warm sunshine is like a lover's gentle hand caressing you, making people experience bursts of warmth in the tense life. Zhongzhou, the most prosperous and prosperous city in the empire and even the Eastern Continent, with a population of more than five million, is bathed in a peaceful and stable atmosphere at this moment.
It's the Spring Festival soon. It's time to buy New Year's goods, and it's time to clean the house. Merchants put up various positions one after another, endured the pain, jumped off the building, bought one and got three free, and discounted again and again. All kinds of fresh and ancient promotional methods were presented on the spot, attracting passers-by to stop and watch. On the broad street, Forming one crowd after another.
Some shrewd businessmen invited a juggling team to set up a battle array in front of their homes. A series of traditional Tang entertainment methods such as stilts, land boats, waist drums, and lion dances were lined up for middle-aged and elderly people to watch. I couldn't turn my eyes away, and I was so happy that I couldn't close my mouth from ear to ear.
In order to attract young customers, some more open-minded businessmen even hired troupes from some places in the mainland to perform songs and dances with strong local characteristics and set up special stages, such as hula dance, belly dance, roll dance, etc. , taking turns to perform on the stage, the intoxicating exotic customs, charming singing and dancing, while making the young people intoxicated, also attracted the attention of many older, old-fashioned people, lamenting that the world is declining and people's hearts are not the same.
Wu Feng and his party put on casual clothes and a little make-up, and the two girls even put on dazzling women's clothes. They looked like guards and cuddlers, leaning closely against Wu Feng as they wandered on the streets of the Imperial Capital. in the crowd.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Gu Mingxia, who is lively by nature, seems to be entering the Imperial Capital for the first time, and this is the first time she goes out. She is particularly curious about everything on the streets of the Imperial Capital. She asks questions all the way, Wu Feng and Qin Shuangying was also very patient and explained everything one by one.
Following Gu Mingxia's hand, she saw seven or eight huge wooden barrels lined up on the wide facade of a store across the street. The barrels were placed on a long strip-shaped platform, with a metal box on the lower edge. Mouth, the long line of people and dragons kept squirming forward.
"Oh, these people are drinking." Wu Feng looked at them briefly and said.
"Drinking? Is there such a thing as drinking? And there seems to be some yellow liquid in the bowl. It doesn't look like the alcohol we drink here." Gu Mingxia was surprised and saw these people taking turns to drink in front of the bucket. The big bowl was filled with bowls of yellow wine, and he poured it into his mouth. The wine was neither the traditional grain wine made by the Tang people, nor the wine made from grapes that was popular from the Western Continent.
"This thing is called beer. It probably came from the Western Continent. It should be regarded as a drink. The alcoholic taste is not strong. I have tasted it and it tastes a bit bitter. I think the people in our empire have not fully accepted this. Let’s grow a drink.” Wu Feng explained.
"Then why do these people have to line up and stand here to drink?" Gu Mingxia still didn't understand.
"These people seem to be drinking for free, probably for publicity." Qin Shuangying said after observing for a long time.
"Well, that should be the case. There doesn't seem to be a big market for this kind of thing in the empire. Maybe the merchants are letting people taste it for free." Wu Feng also smiled.
"That's good. If you're thirsty, you can drink it. It's free anyway." Gu Mingxia was very excited.
"There is no free lunch in the world. Of course it is free now, but once this thing becomes popular, it will be expensive. These businessmen in the Western Continent are really powerful. They go to great lengths to sell these things to the east. Once this thing becomes popular, it will be very expensive." If it becomes a trend, then they can make a lot of money. Just like the coffee, wasn't it also ignored when it was first introduced to the empire? But when it really became popular, it immediately became worth a hundred times, becoming an indispensable rarity for the upper class. Items, now even people with a little status or wealth are fond of them, which has caused the price to skyrocket. Our empire does not produce this stuff, so it is even more popular." Qin Shuangying stared at the men who were drinking cows and shook their heads. Say something like this.
Wu Feng's heart froze, he didn't expect that this girl could actually say such profound words, and they were quite reasonable. He nodded slightly, "Shuang Ying is right, these businessmen from the Western Continent are really quite scheming. If there is no trend, nothing will happen." Creating a trend is free now, and you can get it back twice as much in the future. But what about coffee? The Empire also produces it now. Isn’t our Northern Luzon also the territory of the Empire?" Wu Feng asked with a smile.
"As for starting a popular trend, it depends on how you look at it. For example, coffee can become popular. In addition to catering to the vanity of those in the upper echelons of the empire, it is also a good drink in itself. I also like it very much, so I can't generalize. Isn’t our traditional drink, tea, also a popular storm in the Western Continent? This shows that the businessmen of our empire have also begun to wake up. Otherwise, why would the price of the empire’s good tea keep rising? I heard that this beer is popular in the Western Continent. In mainland China, it is mainly favored by the middle and lower classes, and cannot be used in big events. As for the upper class, wine made from grapes is still the main drink, and this thing is just a different brewing process. Its raw materials are nothing more than barley, oats, rye, and buckwheat. Waiting for wheat, the empire is vast and rich, so there is no shortage of these things. I don’t think they are as expensive as coffee." Wu Feng analyzed.
Qin Shuangying nodded silently, then smiled and said: "Northern Luzon is now your territory, and the coffee produced there can be continuously transported into the interior of the empire. This is a good and profitable business."
The girl's smile was fresh and pitiful, which made Wu Feng feel relieved. He nodded and said: "That's natural. Of course I will do whatever it takes to make money. What do you think, are you from the Snow Mountain Sect interested in running a business?"
"Ah?" Qin Shuangying's heart trembled, "Sir, are you serious?" You must know that if the Jianghu sect does not have strong economic strength to back it up, it will decline sooner or later. Although the Xueshan sect has outstanding children, it is precisely the most lacking in economic management. If it can develop in this area, the Snow Mountain Sect's strength will surely reach a higher level.
Unable to help but pinch the girl's attractive pink cheeks, Wu Feng put his face close to her slightly red face and said in a charming voice: "Jun Wu is joking."
Qin Shuangying was ashamed and happy. Of course she could hear the implication of Wu Feng's words. The word "jun" in Wu Feng not only meant that he was her husband, but also meant that he was the king of Northern Lu Song. His soaring domineering power made Qin Shuangying even more excited. The mind and body are drunk.
But Gu Mingxia, who was on the sidelines, was very anxious. She saw that the two of them were in love with each other, and even the important matters of their own sect had been settled. And the Gu family of her own family had already decided to enter Northern Luzon first. Now, wouldn't they have no advantage
"What about our Gu family? What should we do with our Gu family?" Gu Mingxia was really panicked. She lost her reserve and quickly grabbed Wu Feng's hand and asked.
"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with your Gu family?" Wu Feng pretended to be crazy.
"How come it doesn't matter? You promised my father that our Gu family would be the first to develop in Northern Luzon. Why are you relying on the debt now?" Gu Mingxia was angry and anxious, her face flushed like autumn hanging on a branch. apple.
"I didn't default on my debt. The Gu family was the first to develop in Northern Luzon." Wu Feng asked pretending to be puzzled.
"But why didn't you propose that we could also engage in the business of selling local specialties?" Gu Mingxia's eyes began to turn red.
"I didn't say it was impossible. As long as the Gu family has that strength, I will still support it and provide preferential policies, okay? But there is a condition." Seeing that the anxious girl was really about to cry, Wu Feng quickly changed his mind.
"Really? What are the conditions?" The girl suddenly turned from sadness to joy.
"Well," seeing the girl's moving expression of changing moods and anger, Wu Feng secretly wondered if he could ask you to recommend yourself as a pillow. He also felt that this idea was a bit shameless, but it was his true thoughts in his heart, so he quickly said: "Conditions We’ll talk about it then, let’s not talk about it now, you can do it anyway.”
She never thought that the idol in front of her, whom the empire's teenagers worshiped so crazily, had such dirty thoughts in her heart. The girl happily nodded vigorously and replied: "Okay, then it's a deal. You have to keep your word."
After wandering aimlessly for a while, Wu Feng finally remembered that he had not decided on today's destination yet and quickly asked: "Miss, where are we going to go shopping today? Let's go to the clothing area that women like most. Or should we go to the martial arts forum, which is the favorite place for martial arts practitioners?"
The two girls also hesitated and discussed in whispers, and finally reached an agreement to go to the martial arts forum. The reason was that they were worried that Wu Feng did not bring enough gold coins and would not be able to enjoy the large purchase.
