The Sweet Little Fulang

As soon as they came in, Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing looked at the shop. Compared with the few shops they saw on the street just now, it was indeed a little smaller. It was not that narrow. There was a double-opening door facing the street, and there were small windows on both sides of the door. From the outside, the windows were paper-pasted, and the whole one could not be opened. When I came in and saw the inside, the windows were nailed to death by wooden boards.

This shop is not bad, there is a meat cutting table at the door, and it is not a problem to get a few solid wood racks for hanging meat in the shop.

Yang Xian shouted at Ermenzi at the back, and someone immediately agreed. A man with a frown and sorrow came out. It was the shopkeeper surnamed Hu. There was nothing in the shop. Behind.

"Manager Yang." Hu Ping bowed his hands slightly, and headed to Yang Xian to inquire about the price. He already knew that when he saw Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing, he knew that they wanted to buy it.

Because Shen Xuanqing was really tall, he took a few more glances. Originally, he thought that his shop was quite spacious, but for such a tall man, his eyes were not as wide as before.

"These are my two younger brothers from the Shen family, Yao Qing and Xuan Qing." Yang Xian said briefly to Hu Ping.

"Treasurer Hu." Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing handed over, and it was considered that they had met.

Hu Ping was one or two years older than Yang Xian, and when he heard the words, he returned the salute: "Brother Shen."

"Why is this window nailed?" Shen Yaoqing asked.

Seeing that the two of them looked a bit similar, Hu Ping guessed that they were brothers. He heard the words and replied, "I was thieves two years ago. I broke the window and came in, stole something, and was nailed to death."

He didn't forget that he wanted to sell the shop, he looked at the empty shop for a while, then smiled bitterly and said, "Don't look at the lack of light after nailing, but I'm not afraid of thieves, the board is thick, I made it strong. "

That's it, Shen Yaoqing nodded, there was really nothing to see in front, so the group walked into Ermenzi and took a look at the back.

The second door is only as wide as a door panel. There is an aisle ahead, and on the right is a long vertical room. Hu Ping walked in front and opened the curtain to ask them to take a look. The room is not very big, with a bed and a table in it. It is possible to stay one or two people at night.

Follow the aisle that can accommodate two people in parallel and go back. Since the house is not covered with the back wall, there is an open space on the right. When you go to the back and see the open space, the originally narrow aisle suddenly becomes wider. The open space, which can also be called a small courtyard, is not large, and a small door is opened on the back wall for the back door.

This shop is not big or small, but Shen Xuanqing sees the small open space behind where nothing is planted, and feels that slaughtering animals here can be lined up.

"There is no stove here." Shen Xuanqing said casually, if he wants to kill pigs and rabbits, he must boil hot water, but there is not even a kitchen here.

Hu Ping said: "Second brother Shen didn't know, I used to be a grocery store, and only sold some unfireable things. Because my home is in Xiangzhi Alley, every time someone comes to deliver meals, or go back to eat, there is no stove."

"Yeah." Shen Xuanqing nodded and walked there when he saw the back door.

To say that he is still familiar with Fenggu Town, Jixing Town doesn't know much because he doesn't visit much. Before Yang Xian could open his mouth, Hu Ping said, "Behind this is Liuzhi Alley."

Lao Yang looked out from the back door with his hands behind his back. He had nothing else to do at home. His only apprentice wanted to buy a shop, so he would come and help him.

The Willow Alley is a dead end, and it happens to be the last door to the back door of the grocery store. There are about six or seven steps into the alley, and a mud wall runs across the road, blocking the way.

Looking to the other side, a woman happened to come out of the door and poured a basin of water on the ground outside the door, and the muddy water flowed open. Otherwise, step on the muddy water and take it out.

"This alley is narrow, but there are a lot of people living there." Lao Yangtou said, there was nothing to see in the alley, he stepped back and said: "Fortunately, they are all responsible, most of them are the original residents in the town, Then there are the businessmen who rent the house, because it is close to several streets, the price is not cheap."

Hu Ping nodded, his face was still sad, he squeezed out a smile and said: "Because there are so many people, I usually lock the back door, and occasionally one or two old women clapped the door to buy needles and thread to open it, this willow branch Don't look at the narrow alley, Uncle Yang said that the price of the house is not cheap, and the second-rate people like those idle local ruffians can't afford it at all."

"If it sounds bad, there are those who dare to be thirsty. This Xixing Street is big, and there are only a few shops and merchants in our row. We don't talk about it on weekdays. , but if you catch a thief, who cares about other things, fight to the death together, live in the back alley, look up and not look down, and if there is a slight disturbance, rumors will spread, who dares to steal chickens and dogs.”

He is selling a shop, and naturally he has to say something to reassure the buyer.

This is not a lie, Xixing Street is a big street in Jixing Town, the price of the land is not much different, and there are not too many busy people in the back alley. If not, Old Yangtou and Yang Xian would not let Shen Xuan Qing came over to see the shop.

As for the thieves, these days, there is no place where there are no thieves. Even the Shen family has had chickens stolen by Zhang Zhengzi before.

Shen Xuanqing closed the back door, looked back and forth on the small backyard and the aisle, and said, "The shop is smaller, it's okay to say it's OK, but there's nothing. The stove, table, and chairs have to be installed separately, so there's no mercy."

Hu Ping was embarrassed. There was originally a shelf in front of it, but it was removed. There was nothing else to add, so he said: "There are still beds, tables and chairs in the room, if you buy them, I'll keep it for you."

Shen Xuanqing's expression did not change. If he left the bed and table, he would not need to buy any more tricks. It would save a little trouble, but the place is a little small. The family has the most rabbits, hundreds of them. The breeding rabbits have been paired together in the past two days. When the moon is warm, rabbits will be born. In the future, there will definitely be a lot of rabbit meat sold. Live rabbits will definitely take a few days to be raised, and only the backyard is the place.

He raised his eyes and looked at the width of the backyard. It was next to the side wall of the house, but he could put down two rows of rabbit cages and squeeze them a little. It should be no problem to raise a dozen or twenty rabbits.

Shen Yaoqing was not idle either. He looked at the empty backyard and said, just as Shen Xuanqing thought, "I will bring chickens, ducks and rabbits in the future. This backyard is still a little small, and I don't know if the chicken and duck cages will be lined up."

"Let's open the row." Hu Ping smiled beside him. For several days, the people who came to see the shop were different because of their business, some thought it was too small, some thought it was too big, there was no one person to decide, the day to repay the debt is fast When he arrived, how could he not be in a hurry.

He pointed to the back corner of the left-hand side and said, "Build a stove here, and build a straw shed on the top of the two walls, and there will be a stove for burning fire. The right side is spacious, and it is certainly feasible to put two or three rows of cages. Many, the left side can also be put down along the wall. The aisle depends on where it compares. It is narrower than the street, but two people can walk side by side. It is not too narrow. In the past, this was not lined up."

Because Yang Xian had only inquired about how much money the shop had before, he didn't know what business the two brothers of the Shen family were going to do, so he asked, and after learning that it was a butcher's shop, he quickly said, "It's just right to sell meat, this western Xing Street and several adjacent alleys, if you want to buy meat, you have to go to Changxing Street, if you open a butcher shop here, business will be good.”

Old Yangtou told Shen Xuanqing about this, and it was the location of this shop that he saw.

Speaking of which, Yang Yujun, the daughter of Lao Yang's head, married a butcher surnamed Qian in Jixing Town, but the butcher Qian's house and shop were on the southeast corner of Jixing Town, far away from Xixing Street. Xuanqing mainly sells rabbits, chickens and ducks. Pork will definitely be sold, but it is not as serious as other butcher shops.

What Hu Ping said, Shen Xuanqing could naturally think of it. After taking care of the yard, he could leave the cage behind. He didn't say much. He glanced at the yard again, walked to Lao Yangtou and Yang Xian, and said in a low voice: "Master, the shop at the front is not bad, it's enough to put down desks and wooden racks for hanging meat, and the yard at the back is smaller. If I want to do this business, it's just the beginning. I don't know the future. The shop is small, as long as I can earn money. Just get the money, and think about the big shop later."

Old Yangtou and Yang Xian were similar to what he thought, and they happened to come across a shop in this area. There was no meat business nearby. Not everyone who does business is from small to large. A lot of money must go out. If it can't be turned around, it's on fire. It's better to be safe and cautious.

"I thought so too. If you want, just do it." Old Yang nodded in agreement. He doesn't care now, but among the few people present, he is senior and senior, so he must discuss it with him.

As soon as Old Yang's head spoke, Shen Xuanqing went to see Yang Xian and Shen Yaoqing again, and both of them nodded.

That being the case, he turned to look at Hu Ping beside him, and said, "Treasurer Hu, I'm not pretending to be like you, how about forty taels?"

"Lower and lower." Hu Ping's face was wrinkled, he thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and stretched out five fingers, and said, "If you really want it, add another five taels, forty-five taels, I will even The price of fifty taels is not mentioned, just forty-five taels, how about it?"

He was eager to sell and wanted to pay off the debt, otherwise it would be a big trouble in the future. The person who looked at the shop in front of him thought this and that, but refused to give an accurate word. He didn't know that this was a deliberate delay, and he burned his eyebrows later. , the price of the shop is naturally lower, and it is impossible to say that there is not even forty taels.

Seeing that Shen Xuanqing's brows were slightly wrinkled as if he was thinking, Hu Ping was ruthless, with a sad face that seemed to be older than Lao Yangtou, he reluctantly smiled and said, "Only forty-five taels, I will go to the yamen to do the certificate approval later. Order, and the deeds for the house and land sales, I naturally found someone to write them together, and then send them to the government office for approval, so you don’t have to worry about them.”

Yang Xian glanced at him and said with a smile: "Manager Hu, I heard someone say, Dai Yongsheng has visited your shop?"

Hu Ping's face froze, and he couldn't even squeeze out a smile. This time he fell into a big somersault. It was the trap set by Dai Yongsheng's people behind his back. He lost his fortune all his life. I don't like him at all, but if you buy a shop at a cheap price, you will definitely not be soft-hearted. If Shen Xuanqing buys it, there may be trouble later. If a timid person hears about this, he will directly just left.

"Alas." He sighed heavily and said with a bitter face, "Forty taels are forty taels, but you have to give me cash."

Yang Xian patted him on the shoulder and agreed, "It's natural."

The few people discussed it for a while. Now that it was settled, it happened that Shen Xuanqing came over with the mule cart. It was still early and he was able to rush to Yuqingfu City, so he asked Hu Ping to go home and get the house deed. Because there was nothing in the shop, he even had to go home. The door doesn't need to be locked, and let Shen Xuanqing and the others wait for him here.

After Hu Ping left, Shen Xuanqing looked at Yang Xian and asked, "Brother, what happened to Dai Yongsheng?"

Yang Xian smiled and said, "After you went back that day, I came to inquire, that Dai Yongsheng is the son of the owner of the casino, and he has a big family. The town grows up and has a good relationship with the surname Dai. Like this small shop, Dai Yongsheng is optional, so you don’t need to worry about it, if he finds it, he will tell me the name of your big brother Qian, and it will be worry-free.”

"We are all serious businessmen. If we don't do that kind of persecution, Hu Ping won't suffer a few losses if we win forty taels. Besides, the casinos can't get involved in this business if you like it."

In his mouth, Big Brother Qian was his younger brother-in-law, Butcher Qian.

Butchers don’t care about the dirty work of slaughtering pigs and chopping meat. They are in contact with all three religions and nine streams. Ordinary people can afford pork and eat it well. Butchers naturally have closer contacts with rich people. Besides, they have the strength to earn He also has more money than others. He often deals with knives. He is not soft-hearted when he sees blood.

"That's the way it is, big brother took a lot of trouble." Shen Xuanqing smiled and thanked him.

If it doesn't have anything to do with it, let alone Yang Xian, even Lao Yang will not bring him to see him, let alone Butcher Qian, Yang Xian knows a lot of people in the tavern himself, and his third brother Yang Yi is from the town. Mr. Teacher, it is also a bit thin.

There were no desks and chairs outside, so they entered the room, there were only two chairs, Shen Xuanqing let Lao Yangtou and Yang Xian sit, and he and Shen Yaoqing sat beside the bed.

The furnishings in the room are very simple and clear at a glance. It is smaller than their house, but it can be lived in.

Yang Xian is actually very reassured about Shen Xuanqing. People are always bullied and afraid of hardship. With such a tall stature and martial arts, no matter how high a ruffian is, it is estimated that few would dare to find fault with him. His hunting skills were passed down by his father, or He is a straightforward and sincere person, and he will never mix badly when he comes to Jixing Town.

The four of them sat chatting and laughing for a while. Old Yang was very happy that his apprentice came to town in the future, and he asked Lu Gu and Xiaoling to pick up later. When people are old, they look forward to having more children and grandchildren around them.

When Hu Ping came with the title deed and house deed, the mule cart was placed in Yang's house, and there was the road to Yuqing Mansion City. After he locked the shop, a few people went over together.

The mule cart was rushing back and forth, and it was already half afternoon when Shen Xuanqing drove the cart home.

Shen Yaoqing sat on the other side of the mule cart, both brothers had smiles on their faces. Shen Xuanqing carried a few contract orders and the key to the shop in his arms. From now on, the shop was his.
