Chapter 670 Hua Baoxuan

On one side of the street, cheerful gongs and drums continued to sound.

There are two very tall pavilions, one is Duobao Pavilion and the other is Wanbao Pavilion. The gates are full of welcoming maids, and the stewards at the gates are all smiles, welcoming passing guests into the buildings from time to time. The small pavilion is deserted and no one patronizes.

"Boss Yu, you are wrong. This guest was originally going to Huabaoxuan, why did you take him away?"

In front of the pavilion, a young cultivator looked directly at the steward of Wanbaolou, feeling a little dissatisfied.

"Do you know where the guests like to go?"

The steward showed disdain, turned his head and looked at the guest with a smile, "Guest officer, our Wanbao Building is a time-honored brand, we have everything you want, and the auction is about to start, don't miss it, there are many monks there Waiting for the big auction."

The young cultivator defended, "We also have an auction in Huabaoxuan, and there are quite a lot of things..."

"Hmph, what good things can a newly opened shop have?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted. The steward glared at the young cultivator, then turned to the customer, and said solemnly, "Guest officer, what is this Huabaoxuan, has anyone heard of it before? You still need to be familiar with the time-honored brand when shopping. , otherwise you will be too late to regret if you make a mistake, and you can’t waste your precious practice time in such a strange place.”

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

The young cultivator turned pale and was a little angry, but no one paid any attention to it.

The guest thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "The steward said it was right. In fact, I didn't go to Huabaoxuan. I just passed by casually. I wanted to watch the auction and buy things. Of course, I still went to Wanbaolou."

Hua Lin was a little bitter, "You, didn't you agree with me a few days ago?"

"Guest officer has vision, please follow me."

The steward nodded slightly, cast a disdainful glance at the young cultivator, and walked away arrogantly.

The young cultivator watched the guest leave, but he couldn't do anything about it. "Alas", he sighed and turned back to the front of the building, waiting for the next guest to come. However, the chances are not great. He has failed dozens of times Almost desperate.

Not long after, several cultivators walked over slowly and stood in front of Huabaoxuan.

"ah?"

The young cultivator was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the person coming, he said in surprise, "Zhou...Friend Zhou?"

Zhou Shu nodded slightly, "Friend Hua, it's me."

"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Zhou to come here. I'm really grateful. I'll take you in right now, little brother."

Hua Lin showed a lot of joy, and hurried to the front.

"Fellow Daoist promised, I will do it naturally," Zhou Shu smiled slightly, "Fellow Daoist Hua, your Huabaoxuan business doesn't look very good."

"well."

Hua Lin sighed, "There is really no way..."

Huabaoxuan has already made preparations for opening today, and the selected location is not bad. There are no other businesses around, and I thought it would welcome many customers, but I didn't know that overnight yesterday, the surrounding area was immediately crowded with people. There are two more newly opened Wanbao Building and Duobao Pavilion.

A big business like Wanbaolou has strong strength, and it is extremely easy to build a pavilion in one day, but the newly opened Huabaoxuan does not have such strength, cannot change its location quickly, and does not have the ability to let others move , it can only be like this.

Now two big merchants are opening next to Huabaoxuan at the same time, attracting customers and deliberately suppressing them. As a result, Huabaoxuan has been open for a long time, but few people come in. Even the guests who promised to come to Huabaoxuan are unwilling to come. , Most of them went to the nearby merchants.

Speaking of this, he seemed to have a lot of bitterness, and poured it out all at once.

Zhou Shu nodded slightly. It can be said that it is unscrupulous and all-inclusive for the merchants to suppress their peers for the sake of profit. If they do this, at least here, it will be difficult for Huabaoxuan to continue to operate.

Walking to the elegant hall on the second floor, Hua Lin said with a smile, "Fellow daoists, sit down for a while, and when there are more people, the auction will start. Fellow daoist Zhou wants the golden ring double-headed snake demon pill. I can sell as much as I can at the auction in a while."

He exchanged some pleasantries, then ordered the maid to serve tea, and then hurried to leave, as if he was in a hurry to go to the door to attract guests again.

Zhou Shu smiled slightly, "Fellow Daoist Hua, if there are no guests all the time, wouldn't the auction be impossible?"

Hua Lin froze on the spot, his face turned red, turned white again, and said ruthlessly, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist, I will definitely do what I promised. If the auction fails in the end, I will directly sell the demon pill Sell ​​it to fellow Taoists."

"Fellow Daoist Hua, that's not what I meant." Zhou Shu shook his head and sat down slowly. "I'm afraid you won't be able to attract many people like you do."

Hao Siyun also followed suit, "That's right, look at how powerful the two families next to you are. You don't speak too loudly, and you don't have monks to help create the atmosphere. This will definitely not work."

In front of the pavilions of big merchants, there are monks who use formulas to create various dazzling means, or beauties in full bloom, or spiritual objects that are gradually blooming, or strange treasures that are being cast... It is also very effective to attract the attention of passing guests.

Yang Mei didn't speak, just shook her head slightly.

Hua Lin thought for a moment, then sighed, "I can't do those now, and I know it's difficult for me, but I have to do it, otherwise what can I do."

"That's right, persistence is always good."

Zhou Shu raised his eyes and looked around, and said to him, "Fellow Daoist Hua, before you said that Huabaoxuan is strong, and it doesn't need to be inferior to those big merchants, but I don't think it's as good as you said before?"

Huabaoxuan is only a small three-story building, and the interior decoration is quite simple, without any luxurious furnishings. It looks far less comfortable than Ruyi Building, let alone the luxurious Wanbao Building. No matter how you compare it, it is not like a Very strong merchant.

Hua Lin's face turned red, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to deceive Fellow Daoists on purpose... But Hua Baoxuan is indeed very powerful, but it's not now..."

"oh?"

Zhou Shuning looked at him, wanting to ask clearly.

"Some things, I don't know if I should say them..." Hua Lin hesitated, hesitating to speak.

Zhou Shu smiled slightly, "If fellow Taoist makes it clear, we may be able to help you a little bit. If you don't want to say it, there's nothing we can do. We'll just sit and wait."

"Yeah, tell me what difficulties you have? I can help you too."

Hao Siyun hurried to help, she is the one who likes troubles the most, and also likes to help people solve troubles, so she became interested immediately.

Yang Mei smiled and didn't express her opinion. Although she had a lot of doubts, she also knew that since the senior brother did this, he must have his own thoughts, so she would not have any doubts.

"Looking for customers like you, you will definitely not find many!"

Hao Siyun added another sentence, giving Hua Lin the last psychological blow, he hesitated for a while, and sat down opposite the three of them.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, and two female...Fellow Daoist, if you are willing to help, I would be very grateful, but it's a bit long to say, please be patient."

Zhou Shu nodded slightly, "Fellow Daoist Hua, just say what you want."
