Leisurely ancient daily life

Chapter 21 Negotiation
"20 taels? How can this work?" Shen Xia glanced at Liang Erzhuang. What is the concept of 20 taels? Let's put it this way, ordinary people can't save three taels of silver in a year except for their daily expenses, and some even work hard for a long time. One year is only enough to feed and clothe a family.

Although their family is better than ordinary people, there is only such a son in the family, so even if it is easy for him to go to school, they still have to save the whole 20 taels for several years.

"How about this, each of the two families will pay 15 taels, and we will pay for the land and the shop. As for the profit... we will only share [-] to [-] taels." Liang Erzhuang made a final decision.

"Our family still pays 20 taels. I have to trouble you, Aunt Shen, to keep this matter secret. You also know about the matter between me and Fan Sheng. His mother's mood is unstable, and we don't want to be too conspicuous, so as not to irritate her again, so the shop I'm afraid I have to bother you with the work here." Youran said helplessly.

"Okay! I just said it earlier in the morning, you can use your brains for the Fan Sheng family, and we are the rest." Liang Erzhuang was a straightforward person and didn't want to write more ink, so he agreed.

"When it comes to the He family, I get angry. Even if the family is separated, I still have to be pestered by her." Shen Xia couldn't help but said angrily.

Then several people discussed some issues, such as what Aunt Shen mentioned, if they open a store, other stores may follow suit if they see the business is good, how to deal with this matter.

Liang Erzhuang said that businessmen pay attention to honesty, as long as they don't shoddy, guarantee the quality of the goods, and have a good reputation, customers will come naturally.

In addition, he can also go farther and bring back some novelty items to sell, which will naturally attract more attention.

Speaking of this, Lin Fansheng also said that he knew a big brother when he was guarding the darts, and if necessary, he can help him bring back some rare things from other places.

As for Lei Ran, she thought of things like lottery draws and points. These are all good ways to attract traffic in modern times.

It took some time to explain the rules and pros and cons to them carefully, and the three of them praised one after another. Everyone was confident and full of energy, and felt that this shop must have something to look forward to.

Afterwards, Liang Erzhuang took Lin Fansheng to inquire carefully about the escort car, while Youran discussed with Aunt Shen what kind of fabrics to buy.

After another meeting, Liang Kuan came back with only pen and ink: "Father, what should I do if I run out of paper?"

Liang Erzhuang couldn't help frowning. He is impatient and likes to be decisive, and the last thing he dislikes is procrastination, so he ordered: "Then go to another house and ask."

"Hey." Liang Kuan turned around and was ready to go out.

"Don't go yet, Kuan'er, where is the bag your sister-in-law gave you just now? It's inside." Lin Fansheng stopped him.

"Here it is! Brother Fan Sheng." Liang Kuan took out the bag from the wooden shelf, and when he opened it, he saw the exquisite four treasures of the study inside. His smart eyes sparkled with surprise: "Father, look!"

Seeing the small and exquisite plum blossom inkstone in her son's hand, Shen Xia was startled and said: "Be careful, don't drop it."

Immediately, he disapproved to the two of You Ran: "How can you give such a valuable thing, we can't accept it!"

"Aunt Shen, this thing looks like it can bluff people, but it's not worth a lot of money."

Your words are not deceiving, although this inkstone is exquisite, but its practical material is a little better than ordinary stone, so it is a bit more skilled in carving.

"This...don't scare Aunt Shen." Shen Xia looked at her husband-in-law uneasily. Although she was usually hot-tempered, she still habitually relied on Liang Erzhuang when something happened.

Liang Erzhuang listened to Youran's words, took the inkstone from Liang Kuan, looked it over carefully and said, "Is this pine stone?"

"That's right, Uncle really has a vicious vision." You Ran boasted, as expected of a shopkeeper who traveled far and wide.

"That's not true." Liang Erzhuang couldn't help but feel flustered when he saw Youran boasting, and then showed off to the other three:
"This is called pine grain stone, and it is also a kind of She stone. It is called pine grain stone because the pattern resembles the pattern of pine trees. Its stone quality is fine, delicate, tough, and warm. If it is used as an inkstone, it will grind ink silently. The ink is like oil, and the ink will not dry up for a long time, and it is also a middle-to-high grade among inkstones."

You Ran couldn't help but smiled and said: "Exactly, this pine tree represents the spirit of being strong, unyielding, upright, and not afraid of being overthrown by difficulties, while plum blossoms are perseverance and self-improvement. My sister-in-law gave it to you. Like them, the second is my intention as a sister-in-law, and my intention has always been regardless of high or low, right?"

"Thank you, sister-in-law. Kuan'er knows that he will work harder in the future and live up to your expectations." Liang Kuan's eyes were shining, his tone was firm, and he bowed to everyone in a polite manner.

Liang Erzhuang nodded in relief.

Shen Xia lovingly touched Liang Kuan's head, and looked at the two of You Ran with grateful eyes.

One of them saved his son's life, and the other taught his son the truth. They remembered this kindness.

The two leisurely smiled back.

After drawing up the contract, they each signed their names and pressed their fingerprints, and the matter was considered done.

Everyone discussed the meeting again, and seeing that it was getting late and the wind picked up, they dispersed.

Saying goodbye to Aunt Shen's family who insisted on sending them out, the two of You Ran went home with a lantern.

On the road, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the leaves were rustling, and there was no one in sight.

"Ah!" Before he had gone far, the lantern was blown off by the wind and fell to the ground, and was swallowed up by the flames in the blink of an eye, You Ran was startled.

The moon was obscured by thick dark clouds, and without the lantern, the surroundings were pitch black, plus the rustling of leaves.

You Ran suddenly remembered the mysterious figure incident that Liang Erzhuang had mentioned, and her scalp tingled, and she couldn't help leaning towards Lin Fansheng, until she grabbed his sleeve, she felt a little relieved.

She is not afraid of those terrifying things, such as zombies, such as mutants, but because she has also traveled through time, she feels terrified of those supernatural things.

Lin Fansheng felt Youran approaching, glanced at her, and then looked up at the sky.

"It looks like it's going to rain, come up, I'll carry you." Lin Fansheng knelt down and said.

"Then what... I'm quite heavy." Youran twitched embarrassedly.

Lin Fansheng was stunned for a moment, suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "It's okay, I can recite it, hurry up, or you'll get wet in a while."

Seeing this, leisurely thought of the contract in her arms, afraid of delaying the time, she had to agree.

Feeling the soft body on his back, after confirming that Lei Ran hugged him tightly, Lin Fansheng started to run quickly with his long legs.

The vigorous and nimble figure of a leopard shuttled through the winding paths in the village.

Even though it was so dark that he couldn't see the road clearly, for him who grew up in Lihua Village, it was so easy.

Almost when the two of them reached home, the rain was already pouring down on their backs, accompanied by the muffled sound of thunder.

After Lei Ran got off Lin Fansheng's body, the two of them were panting, the buns on their heads were already a little loose due to the bumps, looking at each other's embarrassed appearance, and somehow caught their laughter, they couldn't help laughing laughed.

Afterwards, the two of them tidied up and fell asleep. When their consciousness gradually blurred, You squinted and looked at the window that was beating by the rain.

The lightning and thunder outside were accompanied by the faint whirring of the wind. She nestled in the warm quilt, listening to the sound of steady breathing from her side, falling asleep.

But I was thinking about the red clouds in the evening. I thought tomorrow would be a good weather, but it turned out to be like this at night, and I don’t know if I can stop tomorrow.

So, sometimes, modern knowledge is not allowed in this empty place...
