"Brother Grand Dominance, you praise too much. It was still too early to talk about winning or losing. The one who could laugh to the end was the real winner. Having tea with Brother Guangling was a rare and interesting thing in life. "Hur hur, now it's my turn to issue the question!" Shen Bin said in a refined manner.

He pointed to the small restaurant opposite them that was used for making dumplings and asked indifferently, "Brother Grand Dominance, do you see that dumplings restaurant across the street that is called 'The Good Country Dumplings'? That was a store opened by Lu Zhong and his wife. Sometimes, if there's nothing else, I would go over to have a bite or two. Now that the problem is, guess what their turnover was yesterday? "

"Brother Shen, you really know how to compete!" Doing business is your old line of work! You deal with money all the time. You must be a lot better than me. If I can guess correctly, that would be a really strange thing! " Li Guangling helplessly said with a smile when he heard this.

"Alright!" Shen Bin stroked his white beard and laughed softly, "This shop is relatively close to us. If I have nothing else to do, I would like to take a look. It tastes quite good." So he was still more familiar with them. How about this, I'll give you three answers and you can choose from them.

Li Guangling thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. However, his gaze was still fixated on the dumpling restaurant. Although he had not done any big business, he was still somewhat clear on the general plan of the people's livelihood.

Even if prices fluctuate, they will not be too far off. For example, a bowl of dumplings was worth five cents, while a meat filling was worth ten coins. At this moment, there were six empty tables in his shop, for a total of seventeen people. Each person would spend around 90% of the money and stay in the store for half an hour. During the night, there were almost 200 people. Of course, at this time of the peak, the flow of people would decline and by midnight, the restaurant would be closed. In addition to the number of people during the day, there were two to three hundred of them. After all, this was a market place where every inch of land was worth a lot of money. Even if there were four to five hundred people a day and they spent an average of nine gold coins, the turnover would still be four or five thousand gold coins.

From the looks of it, this was a small gain, but it outweighed the popularity of the crowd. As long as he managed his business properly, he would be able to earn a considerable amount of income every month.

Of course, this money also included the transfer fee, the monthly rent, and the cost of the materials needed to make the artificial rice, oil, and salt flour. These miscellaneous expenses weren't small. They weren't because they couldn't operate under special circumstances. Therefore, those who operated small businesses had to be meticulous in their calculations and be diligent in saving money. Furthermore, he had to avoid risks. Not all businesses made money. The location was very important. Opening a shop to enjoy the scenery, in reality it was tiring to do so, and there were also cases of things like going out of business tomorrow, such as running into thugs and thugs.

When he thought of this, Li Guangling finally had a better understanding of the dumpling restaurant's situation.

He only heard Shen Bin's apathetic expression as he said, "Under, under four taels." Two, four to ten. Three, more than ten liang. No rush, we have plenty of time, you can think about it. "

Li Guangling sternly said, "No need! I've already decided. I'll choose two. "Between four and ten."

Shen Bin smiled and lightly said, "Brother Grand Dominance, you are still a little anxious." The answer was one tael and less. I'm asking what their turnover was yesterday. If it was today, brother Grand Dominance's judgement would be very accurate. "Unfortunately, they closed their business yesterday and haven't opened their doors yet. So where did the turnover come from?"

Li Guangling's eyes shook and he let out a bitter laugh, extending his thumb in admiration, "Master Shen, your strategy is very deep! Despite knowing the result, he still dug a hole for me to jump into. This is truly unkind! Let's just say I lost. However, I still want to ask, why did they close down and rectify the situation? "

Shen Bin was shocked. At this time, shouldn't Li Guangling care more about winning or losing? Why would he care about those passersby that he doesn't know? He could not help but glance at him in surprise, and with a higher opinion of his easygoing demeanor, he slowly said, "It's no big deal, I didn't meet any local ruffians or hooligans. Yesterday happened to be the official market inspection, so to put it bluntly, he wanted to collect more taxes. "

Hearing this answer, Li Guangling was also silent. Every industry had their own unknowns and unwritten rules. It would be hard for him to get along with the government. He said, "Brother Shen, then didn't you also close your business yesterday?"

"Not really!" Shen Bin smiled and remained calm.

Li Guangling looked at him in surprise, thought for a bit, and laughed, "I understand. With Brother Shen's current status, how would those ignorant kids dare to offend you! "

Shen Bin took over his words and said, "Business is hard these days. It wouldn't be easy to earn some money in peace if he didn't have the ability or the background. No amount of money could withstand this level of exploitation. So, thankfully Brother Grand Dominance did not enter the business industry, so you don't have to worry about that! "

Of course, Li Guangling knows that the current situation is difficult, but Shen Bin is exaggerating too much. If it really was that difficult, then why did so many people have to dig their way in even if they had to cut their heads off? The disturbance in the world was all about profit and profit. Businessmen did not make good money early. How could there be a business that could make money without taking risks? He smiled and said, "Brother Shen sure knows how to joke around. If you can't make money, then no one in this world would dare to do business. But thanks for your reminder, Brother Shen. I will remember it. Right, it's time for me to set a question! "

"Please!" Shen Bin nodded his head and said.

Li Guangling pointed at a person downstairs and said, "My question is actually very simple. What is that white-clothed gongzi doing downstairs?"

Shen Bin looked downstairs and saw a dashing Young Master Bai Yu strolling down the street with his hands holding a fan and a beautiful jade on his waist. He was chatting happily with his two companions, looking left and right to watch the commotion. Especially when a beautiful girl passed by and commented on the situation, everything would be fine. Especially when it came to beauties, who wouldn't love them?

When these young people met a young and beautiful girl, they would go up and chat for a while. He was handsome, elegant, refined, and elegant, and no girl would put on any colors. In all likelihood, he would smile and ask and answer every question. It was not appropriate, but rather interesting.

Shen Bin looked at the other party. This was a young master from a wealthy family who liked to flirt with flowers and grass. He replied, "They should still be studying, right? Are they going to take the examinations to get a title?"

Li Guangling sighed and said, "Isn't this question of mine a little too simple?"

"It's not hard to meet someone, it's not hard to do." Shen Bin said.

Li Guangling shook his head and said seriously, "Don't worry, we will know the answer soon enough." All of a sudden, he called out to the young man in white downstairs, "Brother Dongfang, Qing Chuan, here." He saw the young master dressed in white being called like this. He raised his head and saw Li Guangling's figure. He was both surprised and happy. He shouted, "Uncle Li, why are you here?"

Li Guangling smiled and waved for him to quickly come up and said, "Hehe, come and see a friend. I haven't seen you in a long time.
