After some preparations, the shop in the prime area under the Dua cattle pan was soon lit up and firecrackers were opened. The shops in this area are the most eye-catching, and Du Aniu's shop has only been open for half a day, and the news has spread throughout the capital.

The eldest lady was of course no exception to this news.

When she first heard the news, the eldest lady's lungs almost exploded. handed over her shop to others for temporary safekeeping, and paid the storage fee, but the person in charge was good, and the guard stole it, and actually took her shop to get money in his own pocket.

She was about to drop the cup again, but Cai's mother hurriedly stopped her and said, "Madam, stop your anger and listen to what the slave and maid say." ”

The eldest lady said angrily: "What else is there to say, is it possible that you want to speak for that Dua Niu?" I think this couple is unreliable, and it is so. I'll take the shop back tomorrow and see what they do with my shop for money!"

The eldest lady absolutely knows that in that prime location, as long as the door is open, no matter what is sold inside, there will be a profit. What's more, Dua Niu does not need to pay the shop rental fee at all, and it is a business without capital. Such a capitalless business is equivalent to looking after a shop for others, but the money flows into his own pocket.

Mother Cai looked at the eldest lady and said slowly: "Madam, the slave has absolutely no intention of speaking for that Dua Niu. The slave maid just thought that since the eldest lady had entrusted the shop to him for safekeeping, he only had to take good care of the shop for us, and as for what he was going to do, we couldn't be too lenient, right? After all, the shop was in a prime location, and if it was not open for a long time. That's going to make people suspicious. ”

The eldest lady thought that Du Ah Niu was too rude, and actually took her own shop to get money without reporting to her in advance. And the silver she caught was not divided into a few percent. Hearing Cai's mother say this, I also feel that there is some truth, after all, that shop is big and conspicuous, if it is not in operation for a long time, it will inevitably attract the attention of others.

"So, I just cheapened the guy surnamed Du so cheaply, and let him take my shop for nothing?" the eldest lady said angrily. I still can't bear this breath in my heart.

Cai's mother hurriedly persuaded: "Madam, lending the shop to Dua Niu to manage it is just an expedient measure. The lady has already taken care of the jewelry. The silver was enough to fill the hole in the two thousand taels of silver. Didn't we take advantage of this incident as an opportunity to change the names and surnames of the two good shops we took from the third room and make them our own? After this process is completed, why don't we worry that the white silver will not fly over? You think that we have taken those two shops for many years. What year won't we net a few thousand taels of silver? It's just a difficult time in front of us. As long as we get through it, there will be a bright future and no worries. ”

The eldest lady understood what Cai's mother meant, and asked her not to make things bigger, not to deal with them first, and let that Dua Niu fool around for a while, as long as she didn't do anything too out of line, she would ignore him.

Big lady think. That's all it had to be. She frowned and asked, "What about the other shop?"

Her other shop, which occupies three rooms, was given to He Mingsheng, the owner of a grocery store selling mountain goods in the west of the city. It is also used in the same way as for Dua cows. In order to avoid the recurrence of things like Du Aniu's bidding shop, the eldest lady also asked Liang Da of the Chamber of Commerce to set up a contract, and both parties signed it for preparation. In other words, the eldest lady also gave He Mingsheng in the west of the city exactly the same sales contract.

Cai's mother smiled bitterly: "That He Mingsheng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, seeing that this is the case in the north of the city, he also painted gourds, and also got some goods to sell by himself." ”

The eldest lady only felt that a breath was blocked in her heart, and there was a feeling of being dumb in her heart. After relieving for a while, Fang said: "Forget it, let them get away for a few days, when the time comes, my capital turnover will be opened, and I will take it back together, and I won't tell them any affection." ”

There was no joy on Cai's mother's face. She knew that the eldest lady had a few other shops on hand, and the shops were very large, but the location didn't seem to be very good, and the profit was not too much. Moreover, there is another swamp, and there is a large area on the outskirts of the city, where nothing can be cultivated, and it has been deserted, and it has not produced any profit at all.

Let's say that the newly opened shop of Dua Niu's family, in the first few days, I was still a little panicked in my heart, I was afraid that the eldest lady would rush over coldly, count him down, and then take the shop back. After waiting for a few days, seeing that nothing had happened, the couple finally put down a hanging heart, knowing that the eldest lady didn't care at this time and wouldn't care about it in the future, so the husband and wife gradually became bolder.

Strange to say, this shop is really favored by God, no matter what goods are purchased, they can all be sold out in just a few days. The goods they bought at the same time as the other silk and satin counterparts were sold at the same price, and half of the goods were still hoarded in other people's shops, but he was already selling seventy-seven or eighty-eight here, and there was not much left.

What's even more strange is that even in the windy and rainy, thunderous and lightning weather, the few shops next to it only have a few businesses in Liao Liao, and Du Aniu's "Tianjinxiu" shop has to have so many dozen or twenty businesses, even if they are about to close and carry the door panels out, someone will rush over to buy a few pieces of cloth, so that the shops next to them are envious, not to mention those shops that are not in the downtown area, I heard that others have such a good business in the windy and rainy weather, and even have the heart to commit suicide.

Dua Niu and his wife were shocked by this inexplicable good business, and they trembled every day. Soon after, they happened to meet a wandering monk, saying that the couple was destined to have fortune this year, and they had whatever they wanted, so they settled down and counted the silver while doing business happily.

In this way, after half a month, the amount of silver in the account, in addition to the capital of the purchase, was as much as five or six hundred taels, and the couple was so happy that they did not sleep all night, and they believed the words of the traveling monk even more.

Speaking of which, the Dua Niu couple do business, like a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, they don't understand the silk industry, and they don't invite an expert to be the shopkeeper, just look at what others buy and they follow what they buy, this is also strange, other people's can't sell, but theirs sells very well, so that others don't want to buy with them.

The couple has been in the past half a month, and they are gradually dissatisfied with the speed of making money, in the final analysis, this shop is not their own after all, maybe one day, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will have to be returned to the eldest lady, such a good thing is not fully utilized, to earn more money for themselves, they are categorically unwilling.

So, they remembered what the monk said. At that time, Du Aniu asked him when he would be able to make a fortune? The monk You Fang said that soon, there would be guests from the north in the near future, and that would be to send silver.

So the couple began to wait, and looked to the north every day, but there were only some merchants and pawns who came and went, and where was the shadow of a nobleman?

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from a nearby shop. (To be continued......)
