Teach my brother-in-law

Chapter 17.fancy 1 shop

In the evening, the meal is ready on the table.

"My lady, sit down quickly, my lady is tired!" Only then did Lin Zi see Bai He standing on the table with food, so he got up and supported Bai He, and pushed her down on the seat.This guy has changed today, but this feeling is really good. Bai He still feels that he should learn the rules of this era when he comes to this era, so as not to be criticized by others in the future, but thinking about Lin Zicai, he pushed himself to his seat I went up, hesitated for a moment, then sat down with peace of mind.

Respect is too important for a woman in this era.

"Miss, look, are we ready to eat!" Lin Zicai smiled and handed over a full bowl of rice, with a little bit of flattery in his charming smile, a man with a strict wife appeared gorgeously.

"Master, why are you so polite!" Bai He has learned a lot about Lin Zicai in the past few days. Playing chess with the old people in the village, and occasionally meeting someone who needs help, they will come forward to help, even if they don’t understand the work, they will also help. The popularity in the village is still good.

"My lady, yesterday I saw a guy from the bookstore in the town bring some books, and this guy hasn't been here for a while." Lin Zicai said jokingly with a smile.

It turned out that he was thinking about the few taels of silver that Bai He had just collected, this guy has no good intentions, he must be talking about the books he was talking about.

The thing is like this, it turns out that the bookstores in the town often send their assistants to pick up some new books to visit the homes of scholars in nearby towns and villages, which can be regarded as door-to-door service.As a result, the clerk in the bookstore brought the book home yesterday, and Lin Zicai pulled it down. After reading a few books carefully, he fell in love with it. The clerk got impatient and asked Lin Zicai if he wanted to buy it. Lin Zicai had no money. Definitely can't buy it.

Now there are not a few taels of silver here, so she plans to get some taels of silver from Bai He to buy those few books.

"Head of the family, you see that the uncles are all looking forward to dinner." Bai He deliberately avoided Lin Zicai's little Jiujiu in his heart. You can't buy some books with these three taels of silver. Although Lin Zicai has no bad habits, he Given the situation at home, food and clothing are a problem. Besides, there are two wooden cabinets of books piled up in the room. Only Lin Zi has a habit of reading. He is not very interested in the Three Books and Five Classics, on the contrary, he likes them. Without these ghosts, craftsman's work and other types of books, in simple terms, he is a scholar who is not doing his job properly.

"Yes, yes, let's eat first! This pancake won't taste good when it's cold. Come on, fourth and fifth, try this pancake baked by your sister-in-law, Mo'er, don't look at us, do it yourself, I have to Get the best piece for your sister-in-law..." Lin Zi just reached out to find a piece of scallion pancake that was burnt yellow on both sides in the small bamboo basket and stuffed it into the Baihe bowl.

"The head of the family, you also know the current conditions of the family. Your book will be bought back for you when the family has more money." Bai He knew that Lin Zi wanted to die for those miscellaneous books. Deducting some money to buy those miscellaneous books must not be so considerate. It seems that this man is also a little crooked in his stomach.

"Miss, look at you, what books are you talking about when you eat? Now the family conditions are poor. As the head of the family, how can I spend money to buy those useless books? Right, Mo'er." Lin Zi just smiled. , to conceal his desire for those books.

"Sister-in-law, elder brother definitely wants to buy those books, and elder brother has been reading them all the time." Mo'er was very obedient, grabbing a piece of pancake and ran to Bai He and said.

At this moment, Lin Zicai's face turned red, as if a child who did something wrong was caught.

"Sister-in-law, don't listen to elder brother. The books that elder brother fancy are all boring things. You should keep the money. Besides, there are a lot of books at home now... Elder brother, why don't you put the old ones in your pocket?" You can get the book and read it." Lin Ziqian finally spoke, although he was not yet ten years old, but Bai He found that the third child was the smartest among all the brothers, and compared to the second brother's loyalty, the third child had a bit more flexible.

"Third brother is right!" Bai He stopped talking after saying this sentence, everything was kept silent.

Sure enough, Lin Zi stopped making a sound after hearing this, but his face was a little ugly, but it didn't take long before he recovered.

The matter of the book stopped there, and no one mentioned it again.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the autumn air was crisp, Bai Hezhu decided to go for a walk in the town after washing his clothes.

This is her first visit to the town, and everything is still a little curious.Mo'er was her little tail, and they followed along the way, and met Lu'er at the entrance of the village. When Lu'er asked Lu'er and learned that she was also going to the town to buy some thread, the three of them went together.

Qibei Town is not big, just a long street, with shops on both sides, there are restaurants, teahouses, cloth shops, grain shops, jade shops, iron shops, meat stalls, etc. It is morning at this time, and the street is full of people. Some people walk around, but compared to some small towns in the south of the Yangtze River, it is still much worse, especially after the early morning, most of the stalls are closed, and now there are only Butcher Zhang and other permanent residents in the town on the street. The stall is still operating.

Bai He went over to say hello, chatted a few words, and casually asked about the army that was mentioned yesterday. Zhang Butcher pointed to a large open space not far from the west end of the street, and said that there seemed to be people from the yamen there. The geodetic survey is gone, the government should have been present together with the owner of the plot, and there should be no difference.

Bai He pulled Lu'er, and Mo'er walked over together. After leaving the town and heading west for less than a mile, they came to the place Zhang Butcher said. It is indeed a good place to repair the guard.Looking around, more than half of it is vacant land, and the side facing outside is fertile land, but the area occupied by fertile land will not be very large.The surrounding area is relatively empty, there are no houses around the line made with lime, and the nearest is the town street.

What is the hottest industry in the 21st century?real estate.Right, if Wei Suoxiu is here, do you feel that something is missing?Restaurants, tea shops, brothels, casinos, all of these can be owned, but Bai He only has three taels of silver in his hand, so restaurants and tea shops can't afford it; brothels, casinos, Bai He doesn't want to do this either.

Bai He is eager to make money, and now she has resources in front of her, that is, to build a guard here, there will be a large number of civilians to work, and there will be an army of thousands of people stationed in the future, these are resources, but she feels that now she The brain is not enough to turn, how to use this resource is a problem.

"Sister, seeing you walking around here, I'm afraid you want to take this opportunity to earn some money?" Lu'er asked Mo'er while watching Bai He walking around in the open space, holding Mo'er's hand.

"My sister is really smart. My sister is thinking that so many civilians will come to build the guard post, and then there will be troops stationed there. Why can't you join in the fun with such a good thing, let's make a little money." Bai He said with a smile Well, this Lu'er is also a person with sharp eyes, as if he can see through people's minds.

"Sister, why don't you go to the front shop to drink a bowl of tea and rest for a while!" Lu'er pointed to a simple tea shop at the entrance of the town.

This kind of tea shop is opened at the entrance of the town. In front of it is a large shop with bamboo branches. It is operated in an open manner, with five tables scattered here and there. Behind the wall is the kitchen and a utility room. residence.

The guests who come and go are also passing businessmen, bodyguards, peddlers and other people who can't settle down in the town. The tea is also cheap. You can add tea for one penny, and you can drink until your stomach swells; If you spend five Wen, you will have all the chicken feet, and you will get two thick steamed buns.

The three of them entered the tea shop, chose the outermost table and sat down, seeing the grease and dirt on the table made Bai He feel like vomiting.

The waiter casually put the big teapot and three bowls on the table and went away to chat with the little lady who sells tofu next door.

How can this be a business.

Bai He took out two pennies from his cuff and slapped them on the table with a "snap", the waiter turned his head and took a look, seeing that there was two pennies that seemed to be a reward, he ran over with a smile on his face.

"My lady, if you need anything, just tell me!" He put the two pennies into his sleeve casually.

"Brother, where's your shopkeeper?" Bai He tipped the money, and her voice became louder. This is the case with everyone, and they bend their waists when they give money, but the two pennies also made Bai He's heart twitch. It's a pity, but she wants to ask something today, so she doesn't care about the two pennies.

"As for this lady, our shopkeeper seldom comes once a month, and now they live in the city, who would come to the countryside... I don't know what orders this lady has?" The shop boy is indeed a Looking around and listening to people from all directions, seeing that a tip of two cents is considered a considerable amount of income in this tea shop, Bai He finds it inconceivable how quickly this expression changes.

"Is the store's business not going well at this time? You don't care about the owner as a buddy. Look at this table, who would want to sit on it if it's so dirty!" Bai He has always wanted to ask if the shop can be sold and how much it will cost.But if you ask this question, you may have to spend more money if you want to transfer, so you should make a decision from the side.

"This little lady is interesting to talk about, and she is now in charge of my boss's business. Our boss still likes this shop, even if he gives this shop away, he won't blink." Xiaoer seemed to have it. A place for bragging, as if this shop can be given away without money.

"Oh, your boss is really a generous person, little brother, if someone wants to sell your boss's shop, how much will it cost?" Lu'er interjected and asked.

"This is considered to have found a person. In the past two months, someone offered a price of three or two and did not give it to others. I guess the owner thinks the price is too low. But if someone really buys this shop, it is almost the same if the price is added. It's just the owner. The home from here has feelings, and I am reluctant to sell it..." Xiao Er talked sharply, and shook out all the cause and effect before and after.

If they opened a shop, they wouldn't hire such a little girl who couldn't keep a secret. If this mouth didn't sell the owner, the owner probably wouldn't even know.
