Chapter 222 The Eight Immortals Society

When shopkeeper Liu saw this cornucopia, he no longer felt embarrassed. He felt that he might have gone to the wrong place. Which wealthy family's birthday banquet or wedding was this?

He has been working as a shopkeeper in Ping An City for twenty years and has never seen such grand opening gifts one by one.

Sister Dan poked Mr. Zhou next to her with her elbow and said, "Miss Gu is not simple. Didn't you say that her family just escaped from famine? How did she get to know these rich people?"

Mr. Zhou didn’t understand either. When he first met Gu Fei, she was still dressed like a country girl. Why did she suddenly become so successful?

Old Man Huang stood far away. He had packed up neatly today, changed into clean clothes, and his usually messy gray hair was neatly combed. He glanced at the cornucopia, and then at the stone, with a slight smile on his lips. Curl upward.

At this moment, two beggars wearing white robes came over.

 One was holding a broken bowl, and the other was holding a pot of beautiful crabapples.

The two of them stood at the door, and the one with the broken bowl shouted, "The Eight Immortals will congratulate you on the opening of the inn!"

Gu Fei was startled for a moment, she, she still has a relationship with the beggar?

 How come she doesn’t know?

Seeing that she was stunned, Sister Dan quickly pulled her aside and whispered: "This Eight Immortals Association is the beggar's gang in Ping'an City. No matter which family has weddings or weddings, they will be there."

“They bring you gifts, and they want to reciprocate the gifts. If you don’t reciprocate, they will come to your store every day to cause trouble.”

Gu Fei glanced at the crabapple held in the beggar's hand and took a breath, "How much of a return gift should I give?"

Sister Dan held out a finger and said, "One tael of silver."

"From now on, someone will come to collect money every month. The merchants on this street will give you two hundred yuan a month. If you give the money, those beggars will not enter your shop."

Gu Fei nodded, understood, this is for protection money.

 Not counting the protection fee, they will not protect you, they only promise not to cause trouble.

As long as you still want to do business, you have to give the money whether you give it or not.

 Otherwise, if the beggar enters the shop, the business will be out of business.

She took out a small piece of broken silver from her arms, walked up to the beggar holding the broken bowl, put the silver in, gave a salute, and said with a smile: "Thank you to the brothers of the Eight Immortals Society for coming to support me."

The beggar saw the silver in the bowl, waved his hand with a smile, and the beggar next to him put down the begonia flowers, and the two of them bowed their hands and left.

 Gu Zhang shouted at this time, "Xiao Fei, the auspicious time has come."

As Sanlang hurriedly lit the firecrackers, Gu Fei took a deep breath, walked under the plaque, pulled the red rope, and the red silk covering it fell down.

The four golden copper characters "You Jian Inn" on the plaque are revealed.

 There were sounds of congratulations all around, it was considered an opening.

Mr. Zhou stared at the plaque for a long time, held up his hands and said with a smile, "This is a good name."

“It may seem vulgar at first glance, but vulgarity means elegance. The best thing is that the name is easy to remember!”

 Easy to remember means easy to pass on orally.

 Gu Fei smiled. The name was plagiarized. It came from a classic work by a certain king of comedy. Using it was also a tribute to the master.

Sister Dan pursed her lips and smiled beside her. Just because of her name, this girl Xiao Fei must be an interesting person.

Gu Zhang greeted everyone to come in. When everyone entered, they saw that there were various green plants in the store, some as tall as a person, and some small and exquisite. They were all planted in white porcelain pots. The white color was mixed with green, which was refreshing and refreshing. Full of life.
