The escape system takes me to dig for treasures

Chen Dafu put away the silver and came out impatiently.

He opened the curtain with a look of surprise on his face, and just in time Jiang Li and others walked in, so he quickly made way for them.

"Boss, when did you arrive in the capital? Why didn't you let me pick you up?"

Chen Dafu said, somewhat resentfully.

Jiang Youli and a few others rushed in and looked at the furnishings in the room.

Jiang Li explained: "We were not sure when we would arrive all the way here."

It is now mid-August, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is less than three days away. Jiang Li has arrived in Beijing half a month earlier than he had expected.

Jiang Youli and his companions had already looked at the things in the room and commented, "Although the place is small, the people who put the things there put a lot of thought into it, and it looks quite orderly."

It doesn't give people a crowded or messy feeling.

Moreover, the dolls placed on these cabinets from high to low clearly correspond to different age groups, and dolls of corresponding sizes are placed.

Jiang Li didn't rush to ask about the business in the store. "We just came to take a look. If there's nothing else, it's almost noon. Let's go have a meal together!"

Chen Dafu said, "Wait a moment, my mother will be here to bring me food soon, so it's a good opportunity for her to keep an eye on the shop."

He was the only one in the shop, and sometimes when he couldn't leave, he would ask his mother who lived nearby to help look after the shop.

Aunt Chen tidied the place neatly and tidyly.

Moreover, she had gone through the price of these dolls many times and now remembers them clearly.

Of course, Aunt Chen is so concerned because if she sells one more of these dolls, her son can get more money.

After hearing what Chen Dafu said, Jiang Li said, "Then I'll go to the Jinlou across the street and call Shopkeeper Zou."

I asked Jiang Youli and others, and they all wanted to go with Jiang Li to take a look.

"Let's go then!"

There were a few more little tails behind Jiang Li.

When Jiang Li led a group of people to the Jinlou opposite, he saw Manager Zou talking to a waiter.

Shopkeeper Zou had his back to the door. It was only after the waiter reminded him that he turned around and looked at Jiang Li.

As soon as he saw Jiang Li, his face lit up with joy, "Miss A Li!"

After shouting, he turned around and waved to the guy, "Go to work first!"

"Uncle Zou! How's business lately?"

Without waiting for Manager Zou to speak, Jiang Li greeted him first.

Shopkeeper Zou smiled and said, "Thanks to you, it's fine!"

The two men exchanged greetings, and Jiang Li introduced his family to Manager Zou.

Shopkeeper Zou was quite surprised. This family consisted of both old and young people. According to his understanding, Jiang Li's family lived far away in Yunzhou City.

Although he was surprised and curious, Shopkeeper Zou did not show it out of politeness.

A group of people called their friends, got on the carriage and went to a nearby restaurant.

During the conversation, he talked about the reason why Jiang Li brought his family to the capital.

Shopkeeper Zou heard Jiang Xi say that Jiang Youli, Jiang Baishu and Tie Niu, who was only six years old in front of him, had all passed the examination to become a student.

Although in the capital city, let alone a tongsheng, there could be a xiucai or a juren at random, and a tongsheng was nothing at all, but what surprised him most was that some men started studying for the imperial examinations when they were in their thirties or forties, and some children could pass the examination and become a tongsheng at the age of six.

Only Jiang Baishu, who was ten years old, was considered normal. However, the college entrance examination was probably not a problem for this child. He won the first place in the children's examination and stood out at the age of ten.

Thinking about what he knew, the Jiang family was not a very wealthy family, but being able to bring all of them, young and old, to the capital was unusual for an ordinary family.

As they were chatting, the carriage stopped in front of the restaurant.

Not long after Jiang Xi and the others went in, Chen Dafu also came over.

It has actually been less than a year since the last time he came to the capital, but Shopkeeper Zou and Chen Dafu have a lot to say to Jiang Xi.

At the dinner table, everyone couldn't help but talk about business.

There's nothing much to say about Jinlou's business. Over the past year, the news in the capital city has been a little strange. The ladies have been going out less often, so naturally, fewer people are coming to buy jewelry.

As a result, Jinlou’s business became a little dim.

But Jiang Xi's doll shop business is pretty good. After all, these dolls are popular among girls and children, and they are not eye-catching. The elders in the family are not stingy in this regard.

Of course, if we have to talk about the Duan family's hot pot restaurant, we naturally have to count it. Although Duan Yuanzhou was not in Beijing this year, with the cooperation of Shopkeepers Zou and Yao and under Duan Yuanzhou's remote guidance, six or seven hot pot restaurants were opened in Beijing.

Jiang Xi had heard about this from Duan Yuanzhou, but she only received dividends, and she got whatever money she was paid. She didn't pay attention to running a store, so she only heard about it vaguely. She only knew the specific situation now after hearing what Manager Zou said.

"You don't know, the reason why the hot pot restaurant is so popular is that the Prime Minister Song mentioned it to his colleagues during the morning court, which immediately brought a lot of business to the restaurant."

"Thanks to Lord Song, these hot pot restaurants were able to open one after another so smoothly within a year."

Shopkeeper Zou was speaking.

"How is business now?"

Jiang Li asked.

Shopkeeper Zou replied, "It was hot some time ago, so business was a little slow, but the hot pot restaurant soon started selling ice bowls and ice jelly. As long as you eat hot pot in the restaurant, you will get an ice bowl or ice jelly for free, so business soon reached its peak again."

Shopkeeper Zou was talking excitedly when Shopkeeper Yao came over.

Everyone quickly stood up to greet them, "What fun things are you talking about? You look so happy!"

Jiang Xi then took the opportunity to ask about Manager Yao.

"We were talking about the hot pot restaurant business. Your face looks rosy. It seems that business is very good recently!"

Jiang Xi teased Manager Yao.

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Yao burst into laughter and stroked his beard.

They were all very familiar with each other, so there was no need for Jiang Xi to greet them. Manager Yao found a seat and sat down.

"Who are these?"

After sitting down, Manager Yao looked at Jiang Youli and others.

Jiang Xi introduced himself to Manager Yao.

They started talking about the store business again, but they only chatted briefly for a few sentences, and then the topic turned to the recent situation in the capital.

"There have been many natural disasters and man-made calamities in recent years, and life has been miserable. It is said that Bianzhou has also begun to become chaotic now."

Shopkeeper Zou said.

"Bianzhou? Do you mean the place where the king was enfeoffed?"

Manager Yao only knew a little about it because he heard about it many times.

Shopkeeper Zou nodded.

Jiang Xi and Jiang Baishu didn't understand any of this, but they listened with great interest.

Such things that happen in the court can only be heard in the capital, at the feet of the emperor.

Far away in Yunzhou City, everyone was working hard to make a living, just to fill their stomachs. By the time the news spread from the capital to Yunzhou City, earth-shaking changes had already taken place outside.
