Chapter 186: Papyrus

Qin Zhongren is only responsible for passing on the word, but if you ask him for his personal opinion and be close to the Lin family, it is really good, but it is a pity that the three in his family are all brat boys, and there is no girl, and Lin Shuang's age does not match, otherwise he really has this thought.

"The shop can only be vacated today, on the main street of our town, next door was originally a calligraphy and painting shop, and now a restaurant has opened."

Originally, this is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone shop, business is cold, with the light of the original calligraphy and painting shop, there can be a few people to patronize, and now there is a restaurant next to it, all day long, the smoke and miasma all day long, and the smell of food is filled with the point, but the book in the shop is washed away.

"The owner has little profit, and he is disheartened, so he wants to go back to his hometown to retire, no, this will deal with the things in the shop, saying that it can be vacated today."

Qin Zhongren introduced that the location, size, and layout of the shop have nothing to say, but the surrounding area has been replaced by a food shop, and if you want to open the door to do other business, I am afraid that it is not suitable, so that one also wants to cash it out.

"The Shop of Pen and Ink ......"

Mo Xiaohe touched her chin, the calligraphy and painting shop next door, of course she had the impression that it was the place where she made fakes, and when she came back from Dayue, that house was in trouble, people ran away and opened a restaurant, and she was still emotional.

The two families are next to each other, the location must not be bad, Mo Xiaohe couldn't help but be moved, there is not much painting paper at home, just in time for the clearance process, she has to hurry up to buy some, and by the way, discuss with her husband Gu Zheng, what kind of business to do in the future.

When Qin Zhongren heard this, he had a score in his heart, the location of the shop was good, and the price must be indispensable, he didn't mention this, the Gu family didn't inquire, it seems that the family has a solid foundation, and he must be able to help his relatives, and the Li family will not be too bad.

The three of them walked along the tree-lined path, about the time of a stick of incense and a cup of tea, when they arrived at the place, people came and went in the shop, in and out, many people came to buy, Mo Xiaohe was surprised, there were so many scholars in the town?

The price of reading people lies in the fact that pen, ink, paper, inkstone are too expensive, and there are books, the cost is high, and ordinary people do not eat or drink for a month in order to support the baby who is studying in a private school, but the question is, who is willing not to eat or drink?

You have to eat a meal of meat during the New Year's holiday, and you have to keep some life-saving money in your hand, in case of an emergency, you won't be shy in your pocket. Take the Mo family as an example, Daddy Mo Jingshan is a talent and opened a school, and the silver saved by the family is dozens of taels, which is not enough for the eldest brother Mo Huaiyuan to catch the exam for a year.

"Hurry up, hurry up, straw paper is cheap, hurry up and buy more!"

An eldest lady twisted her fat body and bumped into Mo Xiaohe, knocking her like a little bean sprout to the bottom of the steps, if it weren't for Gu Zheng's support, she would have to fall.

Mo Xiaohe was thinking about theorizing, and saw the eldest lady blocking the door of the shop, beckoning to another person not far away, "Hurry up, just you are grinding, it will be sold out in a while!" At that time, you can only buy straw paper at the grocery store, and the price is several pennies higher! Who doesn't, save more this time! ”

Mo Xiaohe is absolutely down, his face is full of black lines, the straw paper of the calligraphy and painting shop is usually used by readers to practice calligraphy, and the quality is better than that of sanitary paper, and it is made of straw straw, reeds, weeds and other plant straws as raw materials, and the texture is a little rough, but it is cheaper.

"Hey, hey, I really can't live!"

The fat lady was domineering and blocked the way, and was pushed out of the door by a black thin lady, the black thin lady looked like she was a long worker, and she had the strength to do it, she squinted her eyes, "It's right to buy more, this straw paper is no different from the paper horse shop, buy straw paper to make paper money, as long as it is a manual fee." ”

It is now the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and it is very close to the end of the year, and before the New Year, we have to pay tribute to our ancestors and burn paper for our deceased relatives, and the finished products in the paper horse shop are much more expensive.

After Mo Xiaohe heard this, she was immediately dumbfounded, she saw the shopkeeper squatting in the corner with tears in his eyes, and finally understood his collapsed mood at the moment.

The people of the town got the news and went up, but in a quarter of an hour, they emptied the straw paper stock accumulated by the shop for many years, and everyone collected firewood and the flame was high, but the expensive rice paper was still left in place, and no one cared about it.

Mo Xiaohe asked the price, it was indeed very fair, she bought a few knives to keep for painting, and then under the leadership of Qin Zhongren, she visited the entire shop.

The façade facing the street is not big, from the front hall to the backyard, there are three main rooms in the backyard, two storerooms, a utility room, you can live at night, there is a well in the yard, clean and tidy.

The only thing that is not good, the window of the restaurant next door is facing the yard and open, there is a strong smell of oil smoke, no wonder the owner shop can't open, obviously selling ink with the elegant aroma of plum blossoms, is smoked into the smell of chicken stewed mushrooms.

I remember that in modern times, Mo Xiaohe's favorite restaurant, next door suddenly opened, selling wreaths and urns, and open 24 hours a day, the original restaurant had to wait, and finally there were fewer and fewer people, maybe everyone felt unlucky, slowly, no one came. The old store of more than ten years finally lost to the next door.

"Husband, I think this shop is good, and the location is good, if it can be opened, how about making a dim sum shop?"

This is in line with Mo Xiaohe's previous idea, she originally wanted to open a small shop in the downtown area, if she is here, next door is a hotel, there is a teahouse, and her own dim sum is not afraid of not being sold.

Although the town is small, it is the only way to Kyoto in Dawu, many people who go to the goods pass by, there are caravans, and the journey is hard, those people are still very willing to spend silver, if you make some braised meat to sell, there must be a market.

"Yes."

Gu Zheng has no opinion, he has thought about it, if he buys a shop, he saves the money for renting a shop, so selling cakes, as long as he makes a difference, he will not lose money in general, and he can also see that it is his own lady who is trying to help his relatives.

Buying a shop is a big deal, Mo Xiaohe couldn't decide for a while, she said to Qin Zhongren that she would give a reply after thinking about it for two days, and it was best if the shop could be kept for her first.

"I'm afraid it's a little hard."

As soon as the news that the shop was going to be cashed out, someone came to the door and asked, there is no shortage of rich people in the town, Qin Zhongren pointed to the south, "We are a good man in the town, the little lady knows, he has looked for me before, let me pay attention to it." ”

Mo Xiaohe raised her eyebrows and sneered three times, of course she knew that it was the widower of that lady who had two lives, she almost made a continuation, and the member also cheated Feng Dachun, this account has not been settled!

"How much money is the shop?"

Gu Zheng pressed Mo Xiaohe's hand and reminded her not to be impatient, her own lady has a great opinion of widowers, and she will blow up when she hears it.

"Eight hundred taels, a fixed price."

The price is not high or low, and it is also cost-effective to buy a shop and rent it out, and you can have an income of seventy or eighty taels of silver a year. The shop is not without shortcomings, the disadvantage is that the front hall is too small, otherwise in the best part of the town, how can it break a thousand taels.

"Okay, I'll go to you tomorrow and call you back by the way."

Gu Zheng was talking about the Lin family's fancy to Li Xiu, and Qin Zhong understood it.

Back in the courtyard, Mo Xiaohe pouted, how did that damn widower get the name of a good man? She really can't figure it out, in the fish and meat village on weekdays, in the year of famine, giving a sweet date and giving a little porridge is to do good deeds? The people are so coaxing, they never thought that the wool came out of the sheep!

Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhang made dinner and brought it to the table, Mo Xiaohe remembered that she didn't help at all, so she hurriedly went to pick up the dishes and chopsticks, with Aunt Zhang there, she was really getting lazy and lazy.

"Greetings Da Chun, it's time to eat!"

Today, there was a foreigner who could make noodles in the market, and Aunt Zhang bought a roll, cut it into strips, and mixed it with cucumber, sesame paste, garlic, and vinegar, and ate it in summer, which was the most refreshing.

The powder skin is made of mung bean flour, and Aunt Zhang will too, but it's a little troublesome, and she usually can't think of it.

"I see that there is a table of noodles in the restaurant in the town, called fried pork, and it can also be used for shabu-shabu, let's try it another day."

It is the shop next door that sells pen, ink, paper and inkstone, go to see it today, it is not a point to eat, but there is no place, I heard the people of Qin Zhong say that the chef is from Wu Kyoto, the craftsmanship is good, the restaurant is distinctive, but the price is expensive.

Mo Xiaohe's saliva was about to flow out, if she hadn't promised Aunt Zhang to come back for dinner, she would have dragged her husband to rub it.

"You just have to go, the dishes in the restaurant, we are not used to eating them."

Aunt Zhang waved her hand again and again, there is a sheltered house, the young couple takes in the two of them, and they are already content, but they can't have any other requirements.

Several people sat together, eating and chatting, Feng Dachun's complexion was better than before, the wound began to scab, he couldn't sleep well in the itchy night these days, and he couldn't scratch, he was on fire in his heart, he couldn't be impatient, he wanted to quickly take care of his body, go out to work to make money, and repay the favor.

------Off topic------

Xiaolian went to Chengdu on the 23rd, and then Chengdu was not the destination, and she had to take a car for more than ten hours and come back on the 28th

During this period, I can only update as much as possible, and I can't guarantee it on time, so I can't live with book friends

As mentioned in the article, the store that opened a funeral store next to the restaurant is something near my house, and it seems that I used to tell my book friends, so I never ate that restaurant's food again, and I miss it very much
