Hai Hongzhu's eyes widened, and she was about to teach the eldest young master a lesson, but after thinking about it in her heart, she restrained her temper again. She sat down on the chair beside Hua Bushi, handed the piece of wood back to the "husband", took his hand again, and said, "Little sister, I know your tricks...... That resourceful and well-informed, tell me why those businessmen don't come, okay, bear paws?"

Hua Bushi took the wood and said, "It's pretty much the same." Well, I'll tell you that they don't come because they're businessmen. ”

Hai Hongzhu was even more confused, and said, "I don't understand, what about businessmen?"

Hua Bushi didn't answer directly, but turned to Cao Duyun and said, "Brother Cao is also a person who often makes big deals, so he must be able to think of why those businessmen didn't come today, right?"

Cao Duyun said: "Brother Hua carries love, if you want to talk about the way of doing business, the younger brother is afraid that he will not be able to catch up with Brother Hua." However, the reason why those people didn't come, the younger brother can guess a thing or two. ”

Hai Hongzhu couldn't wait, and said, "Tell me quickly, what is the reason?"

Cao Duyun said: "People who do business are very shrewd, especially these big merchants who do maritime trade. And the 'Zixiao Dog Fighting Conference' is not trivial to them, it is related to hundreds of thousands of silver taels, and it is a matter of asking someone to train dogs, and they are very cautious and dare not easily believe us. ”

Hai Hongzhu said: "But yesterday they all saw Baoliang defeat Xiong Li with their own eyes, is there any fake?"

Cao Duyun said: "Having said that, the victory or defeat of a dog fight does not tell everything, not to mention that Bao Liang's victory yesterday was quite a fluke, and even if we really have the ability to improve Bao Liang's strength in a few days, it may not be effective for other fighting dogs." If I'm not mistaken, these people are all watching now, but none of them want to be the first to eat this crab, they all want to see how other people's fighting dogs will be trained in our hands. Anyway, there are still three months before the 'Zixiao Conference', and they have time. ”

Hai Hongzhu's face sank, and she pouted: "If you say that, wouldn't it be that no one sent the fighting dogs to us for training first, and our dog training workshop would always have no business?"

Cao Duyun said: "Not bad. Merchants are calculating, and it is not harmful for them to wait and see, so these people will do the same. ”

Hai Hongzhu turned her face to Hua Bushi and said, "Hey, bear paws, when will you repay those loan sharks you borrowed?"

At this time, Hua Bushi was immersed in carving wood again, listening to Zai Hai Hongzhu's words, and replied casually: "I told Master Luo that Haode will be returned in five days." ”

Hai Hongzhu almost jumped up and said, "Return in five days! Isn't today already the fourth day, if you can't pay back tomorrow, they will come to the door!"

Hua Bushi carved wholeheartedly, but did not answer.

Hai Hongzhu said: "Those businessmen don't come, won't we come to find them, even if it's cheaper, receive some silver, and pay back the usury." ”

Hua Bushi shook his head and said, "For now, we can only wait here." If we take the initiative to come to the door, I am afraid that they will not believe us even more, and they will definitely think that we are scammers who make money. This is the so-called 'hurry is not enough', and even if it is cheap, they will not give the dog to us for training. ”

Hai Hongzhu was angry in her heart, and said after a pause: "You businessmen, all of them are better than ghosts, and it has really been eight lifetimes of bad luck to deal with you! Forget it, I don't care, I'm too lazy to worry about you, anyway, I can't pay off the loan shark when the time comes, and the 'broken door' will come to arrest me, I'll settle accounts with you first!"

Hua Bushi smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, lady, I have calculated correctly, and it will not be so bad." ”

Although Hai Hongzhu said that she was not in a hurry, she kept walking around the hall, like an ant on a hot pot. Seeing Hua Bushi's calm expression, holding the knife in her hand, she carved the wood in her hand into a steamed bun one by one, and she couldn't wait to rush up and grab the steamed bun several times, and stuffed it into the mouth of the eldest young master.

Lunch time has arrived, Hua Bushi really ate several steamed buns, but Hai Hongzhu can't eat them, not only steamed buns, but also a few exquisite side dishes made by the chef of the inn, she can't taste what it tastes in her mouth.

After eating, everyone sat in the antechamber and waited. Hua Bushi found a large piece of wood and began to carve, it was still the same picture of peace of mind and leisure, although Hai Hongzhu was angry in his heart, he had nothing to do with him.

She had to sit down on the chair in front of the table, but at this moment, she could only hear the sound of footsteps coming from outside the door. Hai Hongzhu hurriedly stretched out her neck to look, but saw a big fat man walk in the door, it was not a guest at all, but the hotel's shopkeeper Sun.

When Shopkeeper Sun saw everyone in the hall, he only arched his hand and wanted to go upstairs, but he heard Hua Bushi speak: "Shopkeeper Sun went out early in the morning, and he only came back now, he was really busy, but did he make a fortune?"

Shopkeeper Sun hurriedly said: "Where, this morning is all busy, where can I make a fortune." ”

Hua Bushi's eyes suddenly widened, and he said: "You sold the news of how we trained dogs to Boss Chen the day before yesterday, and this morning, you probably sold this news to others again, do you dare to say that you didn't make a fortune!"

When the eldest young master said this, his voice was very violent, and the shopkeeper Sun was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "No, no, the conscience of heaven and earth, I went out to the city in the morning, but many people did ask me about your news, but I was tight-lipped and didn't say anything. My grandson Zaitian is not a person who talks nonsense, besides, if they refuse to give money, how can I tell them......"

When he spoke, his spit flew and pointed to the sky, but Hai Hongzhu on the side could hardly bear it, and wanted to rush up and beat the hotel shopkeeper who was like a fat pig.

The day before yesterday, it was because of the leakage of the news by the shopkeeper Sun that Boss Chen of the "Ruixiang Ji" ship company came up with a trick to temporarily change the dog, which made Baoliang almost defeated in the face of the giant beast Xiong Li. And now it is necessary for someone to promote the dog training ability of "barking heavenly towers" to those merchants who do ocean business, and this wealth fan shopkeeper did not receive the money, so he came to keep his mouth shut and said nothing!

Hua Bushi was kind at this time, and said: "It doesn't matter whether the shopkeeper Sun says it or not, anyway, the mouth grows on your body, and no one can care about it, right? Let me ask you, do you know the owner of the courtyard opposite the 'Yuelai Hotel'?"

Shopkeeper Sun was slightly stunned and said, "What Young Master Hua asked, but is the two-story building facing the street and the five-entry empty courtyard behind it?"

Hua Bushi said: "Exactly." ”

Sun shopkeeper said: "I know that property, it is the owner of a ship company surnamed Liu, it has been built for more than three years, he wants to open his business here, and the yard behind him is for his own residence, and it is also used as a warehouse, but this place is far away from the port, and it is not very convenient to do business, so Boss Liu built another house near the wharf, which has been empty, and wants to recruit people to rent, but no one is willing to ask for it." ”

Hua Bushi nodded and said, "I see." If 'Bark Tianlou' wants to open a business in this city, it needs a house, I think that yard is good, I want to rent it for use, can Shopkeeper Sun help talk to Boss Liu?"

When the shopkeeper Sun heard this, he immediately came to his senses and said: "It turns out that Young Master Hua wants to rent a yard, so if you look for me, you can find the right person! Although Young Master Hua can rest assured, Boss Liu of the boat company and I have a fateful friendship, and with my Sun Zaitian coming forward to talk to him, there must be no problem, and the rent can be discounted by 95 miles!"

The monthly rent of that small building plus five houses is at least 100 taels of silver, and as a middleman, you can also get a lot of benefits. Seeing that it was profitable, even if the shopkeeper Sun and Boss Liu had not met two or three times, they had become friends in his mouth, and they were closer than brothers.

Hua Bushi smiled and said, "Then there is a shopkeeper of Laosun." ”

Shopkeeper Sun said: "It's easy to say, I'll go with Boss Liu and talk to him about renting a yard." ”

As he spoke, he raised his feet and was about to go out again, but he heard Hua Bushi say again: "Wait, there is still something next, I want to ask Shopkeeper Sun for help." ”

Shopkeeper Sun said, "Young Master Hua, please speak." ”

Hua Bushi said: "We still need to recruit some people for the opening of the 'Bark Sky Tower', I see that the guys at yesterday's cocktail party are very diligent, and they want to hire them to use them, is it possible for the shopkeeper Sun to cut his love?"

Shopkeeper Sun said: "What's the problem with this! Although they were originally considered guys of a small shop, but now there are few customers in the off-season, and I will send them home when they have nothing to do.

Hua Bushi thanked him, but the shopkeeper Sun didn't even dare to say it, and went out again happily.

Shopkeeper Sun left, Cao Duyun looked at Hua Bushi, and said, "Now that we haven't even completed a single business, Brother Hua has to rent a courtyard and hire people, don't you feel too anxious?"

Hua Bushi said: "It's better to take precautions than to dig a well when you're thirsty, and the 'Bark Sky Tower' has to do big business, and the façade is indispensable, so it's better to plan these things earlier." ”

Cao Duyun said: "Brother Hua is so confident in doing things, which really makes Cao Duyun admire. ”

Hai Hongzhu on the side said: "Hmph, how can he have any self-confidence, obviously a dead dog is not afraid of boiling water, and he can't afford to pay back the loan shark anyway, so he rents a house and hires people, but he just wants to die more deeply!"

Hua Bushi was about to answer, but suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, so he smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, lady, it seems that our God of Wealth is here!"

Hai Hongzhu turned her eyes and saw that a four-driver carriage had driven along the avenue to the door of the hotel. The carriage stopped on the side of the street, and three or four people jumped out of it, one of whom was Yi Nan, the young proprietor of "Easy Passage" who had made a statement yesterday to guarantee the gambling money for the "Bark Sky Tower".

The two servants opened the back of the carriage and moved out a wooden cage containing a large wolfdog with a pale yellow coat.
