Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Storefront
......
The crowd departed.
Li Xiaokuan smiled and said to Bai Lao: "In the future, if you look at the size of Beicheng, you will depend on Mr. Bai." ”
"The minister must do his best, but the king, the position you have given is too heavy, and the minister is now old, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it. ”
"It doesn't matter, you just need to set up a leadership team for me, you don't have to worry about everything, after all, running an organization well must be done by everyone, and you can't do it alone. ”
"The minister is taught. ”
After Bai Lao said goodbye and left, Li Xiaokuan said to the person who said that he wanted to transfer the store to him: "Take me to your store to have a look." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
"What do you call it?"
"Wei, Weichen's name is Tian Chewu, and the king can call me Xiaowu. ”
Tian Chewu looks at least ten or twenty years older than himself, and it always feels a little strange to call Xiao Wu.
"Then I'll call you Fifth Brother. ”
"No, no, no, your king, you can't do it. ”
Tian Chewu hurriedly waved his hand, but was interrupted by Li Xiaokuan's determined eyes.
"If you want to forget my identity outside, in terms of elders and young, I can't call you brother too much. ”
"Yes......"
Tian Chewu was in front, Li Xiaokuan was behind, and Qin Mu was behind Li Xiaokuan.
Under the leadership of Tian Chewu, Li Xiaokuan passed through a secret passage that was completely different from before, and on the way, he couldn't help but sigh, even the secret passage had to be designed so much, and the difficulty of these underground forces of the Qin State could be imagined.
After leaving the restaurant, he walked a distance to the east, about two trunk roads, and Tian Chewu pointed to the shop in front of him and said that he was about to arrive.
Li Xiaokuan noticed that although it also belongs to the Midtown Trade Zone, it is located on the edge, adjacent to East Street, very remote, and there are hardly any people to see in the dark night.
On the street, all the other shops have closed, and only one shop is still open.
On the steps in front of the door sat a bald child, about seven or eight years old, with big eyes, very cute.
As soon as the child saw Tian Chewu, he ran over with a smile of surprise.
"Daddy!"
"Hey, Xiaobao. Tian Chewu doted on the child for a while, and then remembered that Li Xiaokuan was still by his side, and subconsciously wanted the child to kneel, but then remembered what Li Xiaokuan said not to reveal his identity, so he said to the child: "Quick, call uncle." ”
"Uncle is a good ......"
The child shouted timidly.
Li Xiaokuan responded with a smile.
"Let's go, go pack our things, let's move out. ”
Tian Chewu said with the child in his arms and walked to the shop.
Li Xiaokuan hurriedly stopped him when he heard this.
"Wait a minute, do you live here?"
Tian Chewu nodded.
"I used to live temporarily for the convenience of opening a store
I've stayed here for a while, but don't worry, I'll clean it up right away and won't waste your time. ”
"No, I mean where are you going to live if you move out?"
"We have a place to live on the other side of East Street, and we have been going back to live in order to transfer the shop for the past few days. ”
Li Xiaokuan nodded.
Tian Chewu moved quickly, and after a while, everything was packed up.
"You will stay here for the night tonight, and I will take you to the government tomorrow to go through the transfer procedures. ”
"Good. ”
After introducing the surrounding environment to Li Xiaokuan, Tian Chewu left with the package.
It's just that what Li Xiaokuan didn't know was that not long after they left, the child took Tian Chewu's hand, tilted his head and asked, "Daddy, is the store sold?"
Tian Chewu smiled and nodded.
"Sold. ”
"Great!" the child jumped up excitedly: "We have money to buy medicine for my mother, and my mother's illness is finally getting better!"
Tian Chewu smiled and didn't speak, but the hand holding the child tightened unconsciously.
......
......
Li Xiaokuan visited the store inside and out, and when he entered the door, there was a counter, and some shelves, and there was a compartment in it, and a bed board was placed. There are not many things, and they are a little old, but they are very clean.
"Sir will be there for the night, and tomorrow I will go buy some furniture and bedding. ”
Li Xiaokuan said to Qin Mu.
Qin Mu nodded, found a place to sit down, and his breathing gradually evened out.
Li Xiaokuan's heart moved, could it be that Mr. Qin Mu also knew the method of breathing? Moreover, what kind of existence was the qi cultivator they were talking about, and what was the difference between cultivating treasure qi and cultivating his own vitality, he had too many questions.
But because he knew that Qin Mu was too tired today, he stopped his curiosity and decided that he must ask for advice another day.
Thinking about it, Li Xiaokuan also sat up, entered the state of inner vision, and continued to control the clear qi to hit the blocked meridian, but there was still no result.
During this period, Qin Muzeng opened his eyes and glanced at Li Xiaokuan in surprise, but he didn't say anything. He was also not discovered.
After Li Xiaokuan tried for a while, he could only give up for the time being. took out the three gold yuan coins in his pocket, put them in his hand and rubbed them carefully, and he was unexpectedly distracted for a while.
When I came back to my senses, I rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the shop, and finally found a relatively strong string in a remote corner.
Three gold dollar coins were strung together with string, tied in a knot, and hung around the neck.
At the same time, he secretly made a determination in his heart: these three gold yuan coins will be worn for a lifetime.
There is also this coat, Li Xiaokuan took it off, patted the dust off it, and folded it neatly. The sleeves were big and small, strange enough to make people laugh, but he didn't laugh, just stared at it blankly.
Looking, watching, eyes are uncomfortable.
......
......
Li Xiaokuan didn't know when he woke up, and when he opened his eyes, the sky was already bright.
Qin Mu was still sitting cross-legged on his side, like a sculpture.
Pulling open the shop door, Tian Chewu was squatting at the door and guarding.
"Wang ......" was about to blurt out, but Tian Chewu immediately stopped it and smiled.
"Just call me Wei Liu outside. Li Xiaokuan said.
"Wei ......" Tian Chewu hesitated.
"Master Wei, let's go have breakfast, and then go through the transfer procedures. ”
"Good. ”
There was a noodle restaurant on the street, and the two of them settled breakfast there, but Qin Mu said that he had started to eat no grains again, so he didn't join.
After eating in a hurry, Tian Chewu took Li Xiaokuan to the official mansion and found the official in charge of the ownership of the store for handover.
"Proof of identity. ”
The official attitude was a little indifferent, but there was no malice, probably because he was accustomed to the shops in the north of the city.
Moreover, the official was very efficient, and after a while, he went through the formalities and handed Li Xiaokuan a business document with his name printed on it.
"If you want to operate a business under the jurisdiction of the government, such as gold and medicines, you need to apply to our supervisor for filing, and other businesses are convenient and do not need to be reported. ”
"Thank you. ”
Out of the official mansion, Li Xiaokuan held the paperwork with some excitement, he finally had his own shop, and the purpose of saving money on the earth before was to be able to open his own store in the future, but unfortunately he didn't wait until that time.
"Childe, have you decided what store you want to open in the future?"
Tian Chewu asked curiously on the side.
