read2();  At Tianmenguan, the night always comes very fast, which often gives people a feeling of unfulfilled feelings, and when the carriage parked at the gate of the Bei'an Palace, it slowly started. At this time, the last ray of sunlight in the western sky completely disappeared under the hundred thousand mountains at the end of the sky.
The day came back to the mountain, and the darkness accompanied Blizzard to completely take over the northernmost city in Daxia, but everyone in Tianmenguan was not surprised at this, because the lights that lit up almost at the same time in every household completely illuminated Tianmenguan. Especially Tianmenguan Nancheng, which is already extremely prosperous, is brightly lit, like daylight.
South City Central Avenue, because of the snowfall in the sky, coupled with the holding of tomorrow’s sorrow, reduced the bustling crowd on the wide street a lot, and the hunters who were originally pulling a cart of snow beasts to trade with the Chamber of Commerce, at this time They all gathered in the restaurant to cherish the memory of the old King Bei'an.
In the middle of some empty avenues, outside the four-story building that stands out among the surrounding crowds, the sign with the four characters of Southern Chamber of Commerce flies back and forth in the snow, and at the same time there are people coming in and out from the sign, which seems quite busy .
Since the Southern Chamber of Commerce took up the line of the Imperial Household Department and completed it very beautifully, its development momentum has exploded. In addition, some time ago, the shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce and the men fought against Liuli City, and it was safe. After the news of the return, the reputation of the Southern Chamber of Commerce in Tianmenguan was instantly the same.
For all the chambers of commerce in the entire Shenzhou Haotu, the importance of word-of-mouth is self-evident, and it directly represents the degree of trust in the transaction. Therefore, even when the entire Nancheng is sparsely populated, the second floor of the Southern Chamber of Commerce The lobby for transactions is still extremely lively.
  The study room on the top floor of the Southern Chamber of Commerce and Industry, under the bright light, was looking down at the accounts, Mrs. Fang, slowly raised her head, then rubbed her eyebrows, and gently asked the old butler who stepped in from outside:
  "The sun is about to set, the master and Pearl are still sleeping?
   "Since the father and daughter returned from the northern snowy plains, they not only eat but sleep every day, and they do everything else as a hand shopkeeper. Originally, I was expecting the master to come back and I could relax a bit, but I didn't expect things to increase instead of decreasing."
Although Mrs. Fang behind the desk, the words that came out of her mouth were slightly complaining, but her ordinary face was full of smiles. If you look closely, you will find that the corners of her eyes are more smiling. Many wrinkles and white hair on the head have grown a lot. These are all grown overnight because of worry a few days ago. At this time, the husband and daughter were in a hurry. Her eyes were full of Bright.
After Mrs. Fang's voice fell, the old butler with the same smile on his face arched his hand forward, and then the old voice came out:
"Madam, the master and the young lady have just returned from the northern snowy field. They are exhausted physically and mentally. It is the time when they need a good rest. In accordance with your instructions, I have given a generous reward to those men who follow the master north to the snowy field. They all took a long vacation to recuperate."
   "It's so good."
After    finished speaking, Madam Fang nodded, raised her hand and took a sip from the tea cup beside her, then slowly got up, while her voice continued to sound in the small study room:
"Tomorrow will be the great funeral of the old King Beian. I will wait for the Southern Chamber of Commerce to repay the old prince for taking care of the lord and the pearl on the snowy field. We will do our best. You can follow me to the lobby downstairs. See how things are prepared."
   "Yes, ma'am, there is still a trace of Orion and merchant negotiating in the lobby at this time, but the oil candles and other things to be sent to the North City are already in preparation."
   The old butler stroked the white beard on his chest, followed Madam Fang and walked down the stairs, the voice continued:
"The ceremonies of the state are cumbersome and large in scale. At the request of his majesty, the funeral of the old prince was placed in the north city of Tianmen Pass. We Tianmen Pass itself is mainly a fur trade, and many things are extremely scarce. The staff of the court Sometimes I came here specially and ordered some things. Fortunately, our Chamber of Commerce has those things in stock."
   "Do my best to meet the requirements."
   Madam Fang’s voice was firm, and then she slowly walked down the stairs to the very wide second-story lobby and walked into it.
Compared with the first floor that buys fur and animal meat, the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce, which is mainly used for selling goods, is undoubtedly much quieter. A large variety of items are placed in rows, most of which are in Tianmenguan. The necessities for life, warmth and lighting, there are also some very expensive goods from the Central Plains, such as rouge gouache and other rare items in the North.
   Suddenly a young and calm voice came from a short distance into Mrs. Fang who had just stepped into the second floor lobby:
   "The scale of the Southern Chamber of Commerce is even larger than most shops in Shenjing City. It is not easy."
   Hearing the three characters "Shen Jingcheng", Madam Fang's eyebrows subconsciously raised, and then she turned her head and looked at her, her complexion changed slightly again, because it was a burly figure directly in front of her eyes.
Mrs. Fang, who lives at Tianmen Pass, hasn’t seen the snowmen known as the Snowy Giants, but those snowmen are still a little smaller than the figure in front of them, and beside the burly figure, there are two Standing young and tall, the three of them were wearing fur felt hats, and the faces under the hats looked extremely young.
Then under the gaze of Mrs. Fang, the three young people wandering on the second floor stopped in front of the cabinet selling oil lamps and candles, and then the young man in the middle raised his hand and picked up a creamy yellow candle heart. , After watching ebony black eyes for a few breaths, slowly said:
   "This candle's heart is creamy yellow. Could it be that the fat of the snow beast in the hundred thousand mountains was not refined?"
   The voice of the young man’s words was neither light nor heavy, and in a steady state, there was a mighty power that made people unable to resist worshipping. Then he put the lamp oil in his hand close to his nose and sniffed, and the calm voice continued:
"It’s not that our Daxia Engineering Department has never thought of using Xuemon grease to make lamp oil, but it is said that although there is a lot of Xuemon grease, it has an unpleasant stench. The craftsmen of the engineering department have tried countless kinds of oil. It is difficult to remove this drawback by any method, so in the end it was nothing."
   After the young man’s words fell, Mrs. Fang, who was not far away, showed a smile and slowly approached and said:
"This young man has really good eyesight. This is indeed a lamp made from Xue Beast grease, and with the unique refining skills of the Southern Merchants Association, it not only burns longer than other lamps, but also has no smell. On the contrary, there is a faint fragrance, and the price is very cheap."
After Mrs. Fang finished speaking, she once again showed a smile on her face, staring at the handsome face of the young man in front of her, and continued to speak apologetically:
"The son is not an ordinary person at first glance, but recently, if you want to purchase a large amount of this snow beast oil candle, it will be a little difficult, because our stock will be shipped to Beicheng, but you can say the number and wait for the new batch of oil candles to be produced. Southern Business Association can offer you a discount to apologize."
