Chapter 197 The shop is open
Taking advantage of the bright moonlight, Li Chang and Zheng Lanlan placed the lantern at the door, and saw his wife and mother looking at him at the door from a distance.

Immediately asked loudly: "Mother, Lanlan, what are you doing here? Are you waiting for me?"

Before getting married, when he came home in the dark, the gate was pitch black; now that he got married, he never went home under the moonlight at all, and even hunted in the mountains only once or twice, and it was still during the day.

So he took it for granted that when he returned home this time, it was still pitch black to greet him.

But when he saw his home, he instantly saw the daughter-in-law and his mother waiting at the gate.

A warm current surged in his heart, ironing his limbs.

It turned out that someone was waiting to see such a happy thing.

Liu Su didn't answer, and went straight back to the yard and into the kitchen, while Zheng Lanlan replied, "Why did you come back after dark?"

Li Chang stopped the cow at the gate with a smile: "I just came back when I was done with work. The rice has already been milled, and the shop can be opened normally tomorrow."

Zheng Lanlan's heart suddenly surged with fermented emotions, and she said: "Don't make it so late next time, it's really worrying, even if it's late, you should rest in the shop, you shouldn't be driving the ox cart return."

Li Chang led the bullock cart with one hand, and took Zheng Lanlan's hand with the other, and walked into the yard: "If I don't come back, won't you and mother worry about it? You can't sleep all night because of this worry?"

Feeling Li Chang's warm hand, Zheng Lanlan didn't answer, but asked, "It's so cold tonight, and you still have to drive the carriage, why are your hands still so warm?"

"Hahaha, of course it's warm to drive the carriage, Lan Lan, do you want to try?"

Zheng Lanlan glanced at the thick and long rein that was pulling the cow, and immediately shook her head: "I can't pull it. The rope is too thick, and it takes a lot of hands, and I'm not interested in driving a car."

In other words, Li Chang didn't want Zheng Lanlan to really try it, so he didn't tease her anymore, he pulled her into the yard and let go, tying the ox cart to the shed.

Only then did I come out and wash my hands, and the three of them had dinner together.

The next day, Zheng Lanlan and Li Chang got up early, and after breakfast, they got on the ox cart with new clothes and went to the shop in the county seat.

The two got out of the ox cart, looked at the furnishings and rice grains in the shop again, and after confirming that there was no problem, they finally pasted the paper written early in the morning at the gate.

Then, in the middle of the day, the little two tigers and three girls stood at the door holding two gongs and began to beat them vigorously.

That voice made the morning, which was still a little quiet, suddenly lively.

After a while, a large group of people poking their heads gathered at the door of the shop.

At this time, Li Chang walked to the front wearing royal blue clothes, raised his hand to signal the two tigers and three girls to stop, and then said to a group of onlookers:

"The shop is newly opened today, and there is a special offer, nine cents a catty of japonica rice, half a catty for every five jin of japonica rice, and one catty for ten jin of japonica rice.

In addition, brown rice only sells for six cents a catty, but each person can only buy two buckets at most.If you are interested, you can enter the shop to have a look. "

Arriving at the scene only one step later than Zheng Lanlan and the others, Zheng Fu, who was about to celebrate his daughter's new shop opening, stood by the door, stroking his beard, and nodded in satisfaction at Li Chang's calm appearance.

But after hearing him say that the price was one copper coin lower than the price of ordinary rice shops, he stroked his beard for a while, and continued to stroke as if he didn't know anything.

This boy Li Chang knows that it is a very good idea to lower the price so that people can buy rice.

However, if he did this, did he ever think that his price reduction would cause dissatisfaction with other rice merchants, and even cause them to trip them up?

However, for this person, he needs to grope slowly to understand that the saying that "the first line grows one's wisdom" is not just a joke, but the advice of someone who has experienced it.

Therefore, Zheng Fu did not intend to tell his daughter and son-in-law, and just waited for them to handle all related matters by themselves.

Standing next to Zheng Fu was Wu Xinan and Gao Wan, who had the same purpose as Zheng Fu's trip, and came to help out.

The two of them were enjoying the lively scene, whispering and discussing something from time to time.

Zheng Lanlan was standing on the other side of Zheng Lanlan. She looked at Li Chang's back and listened to his voice that didn't seem flustered at all, with unconscious admiration in her eyes.

Zheng Fu looked into her eyes calmly, opened his mouth, and wanted to remind his daughter to be more careful not to be tricked by other rice shops, but he couldn't say anything when it came to his mouth .

Instead, it turned into congratulations: "Lan Lan, congratulations, the shop has opened. But keeping the shop is the key, whether it is profitable or not depends on your own luck."

Afterwards, he was still worried about his weak daughter and his son-in-law who didn't know much about business, and said: "But Lanlan, there are more than two rice shops in this county, so be smart and don't let me go." Someone else took advantage of it."

Zheng Lanlan waved her hand indifferently: "Well, dad, I can save it. Thank you dad for reminding me."

Looking at his careless daughter, Zheng Fu suddenly felt that this was not good, so he kept the matter in his heart, and decided to talk to his son-in-law when he was free, and tell him to pay more attention.

The county residents who surrounded them, seeing their county magistrates here, immediately sighed in their hearts:

Huh?The county magistrate actually came to help out?Could it be that the county magistrate is behind this newly opened rice shop?In this way, this rice must be good!

Therefore, after Li Chang had finished speaking, he took off the red cloth on the plaque, revealed the upright and awe-inspiring handwriting of Wuxi Nan, wrote the words "benevolence and heart", and stamped the seal of the county magistrate, ordered people to light firecrackers, Take the lead clapping your hands.

When the county residents saw this battle, they were immediately shocked: Hey!There is actually an inscription written by the county magistrate, and he even personally presented the plaque. Could it be that this is some kind of relative of the magistrate?
With such a large amount of money, and the county magistrate is on the left, they must buy more!In this way, not only can you bring more rice home, but it is also very cost-effective. When you go home, the wife (grandmother) will be full of praise, right?
That's why Li Chang led the crowd into the shop, and within a short while they were looted, and some even didn't buy, and they kept asking Li Chang if he had any more rice.

For a while, the shop was full of people and noisy, like a large vegetable market.

Even Wu Xinan and Gao Wan's couple, Zheng Fu and Zheng Lanlan's Uncle Ma were pushed to the edge.

Zheng Fu hurriedly winked at Uncle Ma who was standing beside him. Uncle Ma immediately understood and began to patrol the store calmly. None of the rice buyers noticed Uncle Ma, and they only thought he was here to buy rice. Bad old man.

After a while, Uncle Ma walked up to Zheng Fu, leaned into Zheng Fu's ear respectfully and said, "Master, I didn't find anything wrong, but there are too many people, and the three floors inside and outside are not easy to identify."

Zheng Fu nodded, glanced at Zheng Lanlan beside him, and thought to himself: Girl, Daddy can only help you here, if someone still takes the opportunity to make trouble today, it's up to you how to deal with it.
