Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 70: The opening of Qiquge (Part 1)

Views:

When Li Zexuan left the workshop, he asked someone to deliver the 300 scooters that had been made to Qiquge.

The original shopkeepers of Qiquge have all moved out. Li Zexuan asked Wang Zhong to briefly decorate it. He felt that the most important thing about Qiquge was the novelty of the products themselves, not the decoration of the store itself.

"Brother Shaoning, now we have the first batch of scooters. I plan to open the store tomorrow. I will ask someone to inform the prince and Princess Changle that at noon tomorrow, brother Shaoning should be there on time!" With the first batch of scooters! , Li Zexuan also strengthened his waist and planned to open immediately.

Yan Shaoning was surprised: "So fast?"

Li Zexuan nodded: "Now that we have the first batch of scooters, of course the sooner we open the business, the better. Besides, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to do!"

"Okay, I will definitely be there on time tomorrow."

When Li Zexuan returned home, he immediately wrote two invitations and asked Wang Zhong to send them to Cheng Chumo and Li Chengqian respectively. These two good brothers still had to be notified and allowed them to come and support them.

Wang Zhong took the order and left.

Li Zexuan called Sanbao again and ordered: "Sanbao, you go to the West Market now and find six children who are in the juggling troupe. They only need to be six or seven years old. Tell me, Master, I need to hire someone to perform. Each person will cost 200 a day." Wen, go and bring this person back quickly."

Although Sanbao was confused, he knew that he shouldn't ask, so he bowed and responded without hesitation: "Yes, young master, Sanbao will go right now."

An hour later, Sanbao came back with six children and a middle-aged man.

"Master, Sanbao is back. This is Sun, the leader of the juggling class. He was a little worried, so he came with him." Sanbao pointed to the middle-aged man and introduced him to Li Zexuan.

Before Li Zexuan could speak, Leader Sun took the initiative to talk to him: "Young Master, I'm really sorry. I was just worried that these children would be ignorant and bump into the Young Master, so I followed them. Young Master, please don't misunderstand me."

Li Zexuan knew in his heart that Leader Sun was probably afraid that something would happen to these children and they would encounter human traffickers or something, so he followed him. However, this also shows that this person is not a bad person and is not a villain who only cares about money. Li Zexuan also Too lazy to expose it, he smiled and said:

"What did Leader Sun say? I have a store in Dongshi that will officially open tomorrow. I invited these children mainly to let them perform in front of the store tomorrow as a celebration."

Leader Sun was visibly relieved when he heard this. He had indeed been worried about the safety of these children before, so he followed him, so he smiled and said: "In this case, if you have any requests, young master, just tell these children, Their playing skills are pretty good, so I’ll take my leave now!”

Li Zexuan nodded: "Sambo, please give your wages to Team Leader Sun first!"

After Leader Sun left, Li Zexuan looked at the six children in front of him, three boys and three girls, all about six or seven years old. Although they looked thin, they all had a cleverness about them.

"What are your names?" Li Zexuan asked kindly.

"Master, my name is Xiaohang. I am the eldest among us. This is Xiaohao, this is Xiaozhi, this is Xiaoxue, this is Xiaomeng, and this is Xiaoya. Master, whatever you want us to perform, you can Order, regardless of our young age, we can definitely do a good job."

An older little boy came out and introduced Li Zexuan. The other children looked at Li Zexuan expectantly. They all wanted to perform well and satisfy the young master, otherwise they would definitely be scolded when they returned.

"Well, don't be nervous, you guys. I'm not here to ask you to perform any difficult juggling. I'm just asking you to play with something very interesting. Sambo, go get all the scooters in my yard."

"Yes, Master."

Half a quarter of an hour later, Sanbao and two other servants came over carrying six scooters. The six children stared at the scooters with curious faces.

Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Your task is very simple. You must learn this scooter today. When my store opens tomorrow, you will be divided into two groups. You will ride the scooters and form two skateboard queues at the entrance of the store to attract crowds. That's it. Sanbao, come here and teach them how to play."

Sanbao had a sad face, these were children's toys, how dare he play with them.

"Master, Sanbao has never ridden this scooter before!"

"Stop talking nonsense, you haven't seen it if you haven't played it before. Just play how Lan'er usually plays. Go quickly and teach me well. Master, I will reward you."

Of course, Li Zexuan is not willing to teach a group of children to play with this scooter. The price is too low. It is okay to teach his own little sister, but there are so many children, so let Sanbao teach it. After Li Zexuan finished speaking, he patted his ass and returned to the west courtyard. He planned to wait two hours before checking on the progress.

Duke Lu's Mansion.

"Master, this is the invitation sent by Li Zexuan."

The housekeeper of Cheng Mansion handed an invitation to Cheng Chumo.

"Oh? The invitation sent by Xiaoxuan? What does he want to do? Bring it over and let me take a look."

Cheng Chumo took the invitation curiously, opened it and looked at it carefully, and said, "Qiqi Pavilion? What does this do? Uncle Liang, do you know Qiqu Pavilion?"

Butler Liang thought for a while and replied: "This old slave of Qiquge Pavilion has never heard of it, but judging from the location written on the invitation, it should be the store where Tiangong Pavilion in Dongshi used to be. I have heard of it before. Tiangong Pavilion was up for sale, but I didn’t expect that the Li family would buy it.”

Cheng Chumo nodded. He was also a little unsure about what Li Zexuan was doing, but he suddenly remembered a recent rumor and said:

"Uncle Liang, I heard today that Xiaoxuan and his family are buying chickens in a big way in the West Market. Is this the case?"

Butler Liang nodded: "Master, I also heard about this today. It is said that their family bought at least 7,000 chickens in one day. Almost all the chickens in Dongshi were bought by them today, and the old slave also I wonder why they bought so many chickens."

Although Cheng Chumo was a bit timid, he was not stupid. He touched his newly stubbled chin, thought for a while and said:

"My brother is very smart. I don't believe that he will make a loss-making business. There must be a deep meaning in this. I will ask him tomorrow. If it is really profitable, I will also ask my father to buy chicken seedlings. Hehe!"

East Palace.

A chamberlain came in a hurry and bowed to Li Chengqian: "Your Majesty, there is a person outside the palace holding a token from the East Palace, asking the servant to hand this invitation to the prince."

Li Chengqian said curiously: "Oh, please submit it!"

"Oh, it opened so soon? That's great. Come here and set up the Changle Palace."
