Chapter 156: Buying a Shop
Old man Li stepped on the air, stepped on the ground, stomped on the ground, one carelessly, twisted to the waist and feet, only to hear a "click" sound, Old Man Li "Ouch, my waist, feet." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Everything happened too fast, Li Zhu paused for half a second before he reacted, and hurriedly came over to help Old Man Li, and said, "Dad, how is it?" What's the injury, Hai'er, hurry, go and ask Dr. Zhang to come over. Li Hai ordered him to run out, and Old Man Li waved his hand and said, "No need, just go back to my room and get some medicine and wine to wipe it." Lehi paused for a moment when he heard this.
Li Zhu saw Li Hai stop, and said angrily to Old Man Li: "Dad, I just heard the sound, you are not as good as before, so let Dr. Zhang come over and take a look." Perhaps, Dr. Zhang has seen that you can still participate in the ancestor worship, otherwise the eldest brother will preside over it today. After hearing this, Old Man Li immediately changed his tone and said to Li Hai: "Hai'er went to invite Dr. Zhang, saying that the master twisted his waist and feet. Let him bring the medicine with him, you mention it, and say that the master still wants to worship the ancestors today, and let him bring a little better medicine. ”
Lehi nodded and ran out of the house.
Because of the proximity, Li Zhu helped the old man Li to his room, and Li Zhu said to the old man Li: "Dad, be careful, it is more comfortable to lie down." ”
Old Man Li cautiously went down and said, "You go and remove the lantern, and we will hang it next to it when we worship our ancestors." Li Zhu couldn't cry or laugh after hearing this, so he answered. Old man Li saw that Li Zhu should come down, his heart was smooth, he lay down carefully, thought about it, and said: "Zhu, you see that your father is injured at this time, and when others ask, you tell someone that your father went to touch the lantern, but because he was not a showman, he was rejected by the lamp and fell down." ”
Everyone in the room laughed after hearing this, and Li Zhu said: "Dad, it's not about Xiucai, it's just that you stepped on it yourself." ”
Old Man Li said unhappily: "I know that I stepped on the air, this is ugly." said that it would recognize people, but when we say it, we don't have more face. ”
After hearing this, Li Zhu shook his head and said: "Dad, others will know the truth when they touch it, let's not talk nonsense about such lies." Then he turned to the children and said, "Remember, you can't lie, for lying is not a good child." "The kids should know.
Hamahama looked at his father and said in his heart, don't lie, there is no businessman who doesn't lie, it's not that he doesn't lie, but he just wants to tell a clever lie.
Dr. Zhang soon came over and helped Old Man Li rub his waist and feet. Doctor Zhang confessed to Li Zhu: "Your father is old, although he didn't hurt his bones this time, he should lie at home for a few days." Li Zhu nodded after hearing this, and Old Man Li immediately asked if he could worship his ancestors later.
After hearing this, Dr. Zhang smiled angrily: "Wait for the ancestors, I said Lao Litou, you just let the children go to work, I just rubbed the medicine for you, you can't even go out of the door, how to worship the ancestors." And you can't stand on your feet now, how to host, you can forget it this year. Let the children make it clear during the sacrifice that the ancestors do not count these things. ”
Old Man Li was anxious when he heard this, "This sacrifice has always been presided over by me, and the children don't know these things, in case they collide with their ancestors, it will not be good." ”
Doctor Zhang said with a smile: "It's okay to let Uncle Hongshen help watch the designation from the side." Okay, let's not talk about it, I'm going home and busy, remember not to be blown by the wind today, so you don't go out. Lie on the kang for a few days. ”
Dr. Zhang confessed some taboo things, and left the medicine before leaving.
Li Zhu told his eldest brother Li Yu about Old Man Li, Li Yu thought about it, helped carry Old Man Li back to his room, and said, "Dad, I'll come to worship the ancestors this year, you can't even stand now, how can you preside?" ”
Old Man Li supported Li Yu and tried, but he really couldn't stand, he felt uncomfortable, thought about it, and said, "You carry me to worship the ancestors together, bring a chair, and I will sit next to me and watch." ”
The two brothers Li Yu knew that Old Man Li attached great importance to these face-saving things such as ancestor worship, so they both agreed. With Old Man Li watching, the ancestor worship was held as usual.
In previous years, Li Zhu would take the children to see chrysanthemums and fly kites, this year because the old man Li fell, Li Zhu was afraid of his inconvenience, and he needed to help carry him to the toilet, so he did not go out, and read at home while paying attention to the situation in the main room.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Zhu's bamboo was soaked and made into paper, and Li Zhu helped sell it with the help of Brother Quan. This time, Li Zhujia made a lot of paper and sold it for 300 taels of silver. Deng and Li Zhu discussed, and put the matter of building a house on the agenda again.
In the past, when Li Zhu and Deng talked about the issue of money, Binbin would sit in on it. By the time the paper was delivered to town, she had already calculated the approximate amount of money the family would receive and the family's total income. Hamahama thought about it and couldn't stop laughing. Hamahama has planned the layout of the house earlier, and now he only needs to mention the location of the house to his parents, after all, the home covers a wide area, and the things to be placed are the same little by little, and he is not in a hurry for a while. Hamahama has been smiling these days, planning to make money make money.
After Li Zhu and the Deng family discussed, they both decided to build a big house with eight jin on the mountain side. Seven rooms, one hall. Now the money is estimated to build a three-entry house.
Li Zhu thought for a while and said, "Min, anyway, the money is not enough now, let's save it first, and when we save enough, we can get it at one time, and we will save the tiredness." Deng nodded after hearing this.
After listening to this, Hamahama smiled innocently and said: "Father, mother, my aunt's family has a shop, and there is rent every year." We can't make money if we put the money away, and we don't have so many people to buy land, so it's better to buy a shop and collect some rent. When you are short of money in the future, you can sell it for cash. Moreover, we don't stay at home every day, what if we recruit a thief? ”
Li Bo interjected next to him: "Dad, Tutu has been stolen before. ”
After hearing this, Li Hai thought for a while, and said, "Dad, it's the New Year, the second uncle and the second aunt are coming back, and there are many people, so our house is so big." We can't take care of it. Hamahama's idea. ”
Li Zhu and Deng Shi glanced at each other after hearing this, thought about it, and nodded in agreement. Li Zhu said with a smile: "In this, let's ask your Uncle Quan and Uncle Mu to help us choose a shop." ”
After hearing this, Hamahama smiled and said, "Dad, the goods when I was in the shop were relatively cheap. And our family is small, but there are many people. Look at it, can you be a cloth village, our family will add new clothes for the New Year. ”
After hearing this, Deng Shi said happily: "You ghost spirit, okay, let's tell your Uncle Quan that we are the one who sells cloth in the first place." ”
Li Zhu laughed after hearing this, and said: "Actually, I think the restaurant is also good, and the people who rent it in the future will also make restaurants, so that we don't have to find someone else to buy our things." ”
Binbin shook his head after hearing this, and Deng Chi said beside him: "Uncle Zhu, if the money in the family can be bought in a restaurant now, then you must buy it, this is a big bargain." Li Zhu's face furrowed after hearing this, and he smiled, only then did he suddenly remember that his own money was not very much, so he touched his head and didn't say anything more.
Binbin looked at Deng Chi, smiled and said coquettishly to the Deng family: "Mother, let's buy a general location, but the shop must be big." It's better to have a house to live in the back, so that when we go to town, we can also live there, right? ”
When Li Zhu and Deng Shi heard this, their eyes lit up and they both nodded. Li Zhu thought for a while and said, "This is good, this may be more difficult, I will go to the town tomorrow to talk to Brother Quan in detail to see if there is a suitable one." ”
Deng nodded after hearing this, Binbin heard that he was going to the town, and when Li Hai heard that Binbin was going, he also followed the commotion, and finally decided that tomorrow, the family would go to the town together, leaving Qi Jiu to look after the house.
Li Zhu told his eldest brother Li Yu about his plans in the evening, and Li Yu said with a smile after hearing this: "Each of your families has read books and has ideas, so it should be appropriate to buy a shop in the town, and the eldest sister has bought it." It's also good for your family to buy a room. But it's better not to put yourself in there. ”
After hearing this, Li Zhu smiled and said: "It's okay, this shop is recorded in Binbin's name, and it can be used as her dowry in the future, and it will not affect the career of several children in the future." ”
Li Yu smiled and nodded after hearing this.
After Li Zhu talked to his eldest brother, he told his uncle Li Hongshen about it, and his uncle Li Hongshen was very happy after hearing it, and he will go to the town to choose a shop together tomorrow. Li Zhu considered that the old man had been a businessman for most of his life, and he had the most say in the family in choosing a shop, so he happily agreed.
After Li Zhu went home, Deng listened to the person Li Zhu told him, and said angrily: "You go and talk to your father, don't say that you are the last one to tell him." ”
Li Zhuyi secretly screamed in his heart when he heard this, and he was busy in the big room and told Old Man Li that he planned to buy a shop.
Old Man Li listened to Li Zhu's plan, thought about it, and said: "You are a good thing, remember, the shop must not be recorded in the name of Brother Li Hai, and it cannot affect them to take the exam in the future." After hearing this, Li Zhu respectfully agreed.
After Li Zhu came out of Old Man Li's room, he talked to his eldest sister Li Cuihua again. Li Cuihua smiled happily after hearing this, then shook her head again, and said: "Min'er is a smart person, you look at your family, everyone is smart, worry-free, and this day is getting better and better." After hearing this, Li Zhu hurriedly responded: "Eldest sister, is there something wrong with you?" ”
Li Cuihua sighed and said, "Ran's second brother didn't say that he wanted to do business, I asked Ran to tell him to be an apprentice and learn to do business, and he said that with his mind and identity, where to learn this." ”
Li Zhu frowned after hearing this. Li Zhu looked at Li Cuihua and said, "Eldest sister, you really have to learn to do business." You see, I sell eggs and Brother Quan sells eggs. ”
After hearing this, Li Cuihua sighed again: "I know, it's not flexible to sell things with my third brother's ghost brain, you say, how can he do well with his person who can't even read books." That's what you have to learn. That's why I suggested that he learn it. Sigh, I'm also thankless, and now both of their brothers are a little annoyed with me, saying that there is no reason to learn from the merchants. He didn't think about it, he was going to do business and become a businessman. ”
Li Zhu shook his head after hearing this, and sighed, "Eldest sister, if his second brother loses, do you still want your family to support him?" After hearing this, Li Cuihua said angrily: "Not yet, Mrs. Zhang, my mother-in-law is his own mother, it is impossible for her to watch her son suffer." ”
Li Zhu thought for a while and said, "Eldest sister, why don't you talk to your mother-in-law." After hearing this, Li Cuihua shook her head and said, "It's useless, my mother-in-law doesn't approve of being a businessman." ”
Li Zhu couldn't think of a way for a while after hearing this, so he comforted Li Cuihua again before going home.
On the second day, after Li Zhu's family ran over, they invited their uncle Li Hongshen to come over and have breakfast together and go to the town together.
On the way to the town, Li Hongshen popularized the selection of shops to Li Zhu and Deng: "Now the places with a large flow of people in the town have owners, and they will not be sold for a while." Zhu told me last night that you want to buy a shop with a backyard, and such a shop can only be in a more remote place. Perhaps, we can buy it near the academy or liquor store. Of course, all of this has to go up to town and see it. Ideally, there are not many items in the shop, and there are things used in the backyard, so you can also save some money. ……”
Binbin listened dizzily next to him, and Brother Li Hai and Deng Chi were in good spirits, and listened all the way with relish.
After everyone arrived in the town, they told Li Quan and Li Mu about buying a shop. Li Quan and Li Mu were very happy to hear it, and Li Quan smiled: "Okay, this idea is in place." I'm going to ask the dentist to come over and ask him to introduce one or two for you. ”
Everyone nodded, and Li Hongshen confessed uneasily: "Remember to ask for an official tooth." We don't care about those errand money. After hearing this, Li Quan smiled and said, "Dad, that's for sure." ”
Dental is divided into official teeth and private teeth. Guanya is an intermediary recognized by the government, and the net worth and clan relatives of his three generations are recorded in the government, and according to the value of the items he introduces, there must be something greater than this item in the official office, and at the end of each year, the corresponding tax will be paid according to the money sold.
They are also introducers of buying and selling things, but since these people do not have any records with the government, they do not have to pay any money, so they charge less referral fees. And these people, because they don't have any items to resist, if something happens, most of them will run away.
Because Xiucai is the future master of the people, is the future official, in the official tooth line, there is an unwritten rule that the intermediary fee charged for the show must be 20% off the past, which is really the wisdom of the official tooth line. not only won fame, but also paved a way for himself.
Li Quan invited Wang Guanya over after a while. Wang Guanya's family has been an official for two generations, and he has a good reputation in this industry. Li Hongshen used to buy a shop because he introduced it.
Wang Guanya, wearing a long jacket, smiling like Maitreya Buddha, raising his head and chest, looking more like a talented old man in high spirits. Hamahama looked at him, and there was one in his heart, a spirit, a smiling tiger.
On the way here, Li Quan had already explained to Wang Guanya Li Zhu's requirements for buying a shop and Li Zhu's identity.
Wang Guanya nodded, his face was clear, but when he saw Binbin, he smiled with surprise on his face: "I heard Boss Li say that his brother Li Xiucai bought a shop and wanted to make a dowry for his child." Look, this virgin under the seat of Guanyin is only about one year old. At such a young age, you can start saving dowry for your children, and whoever marries your children in the future is really a blessing. Phew, my mouth, even if there is no dowry, it is a great blessing to be able to marry Li Xiucai's daughter. ”
Wang Guanya's eight sides are exquisite, and his speech does not leak, and he is not a loss of evergreen trees in the official tooth line.
Li Hongshen has always disliked these false tricks, and said to Wang Guanya unceremoniously: "Don't talk about this, you old fellow, whether my nephews and nephews are good or not is not a matter of your words." Tell me, is there a decent shop that just meets my nephew's request? ”
Wang Guanya said with a smile: "Boss Li, look at what you said, I can get by, there must be a similar shop." Although it is a little off, the host is in a hurry to leave our town, and the price is more reasonable. ”
When Li Hongshen heard this, he patted Wang Guanya's shoulder and said, "It's really that good, why hasn't it been sold yet?" After hearing this, Wang Guanya said with a swaggering face: "Boss Li, we are old acquaintances, I'll take you to see their shop." Just look at it and you'll know. ”
After hearing this, Li Hongshen agreed with a smile, and it was best to be able to see it with his own eyes. Li Zhu's family couldn't wait to follow to see, and Li Quan drove the carriage under the guidance of Wang Guanya to send the big guy over. The more the carriage went, the darker Li Hongshen's face became, Wang Guanya looked at Li Hongshen's face, and estimated that it would not be possible this time, sighing in his heart, and was already quickly looking for another suitable one.
Li Zhu looked at the surrounding scenery and asked, "Wang Guanya, are we out of town?" Wang Guanya saw that Xiucai was asking, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Li Xiucai, let's go out of the town, and the shop is at the northwest gate." ”
When Li Zhu heard this, he was surprised and said, "That is, the way of the carpenter." ”
The road of the cater is a road leading to the river and sea at the northwest gate, and the people on this road are mostly vegetable sellers, not even merchants, and there are people floating on the river, that is, people without roots. It can be said that it is the path walked by some inferior people.
As soon as Li Hongshen heard the words of the way of the fishman, he didn't like it in his heart, and said with a little annoyance: "Wang Guanya, what do you mean by this, didn't I say that my nephew is a showman, and he may become a lifter in the future." ”
After hearing this, Wang Guanya hurriedly said: "Boss Li, don't be annoyed, I don't mean anything else." It's on this road, there is a shop that meets your requirements, let's go and see, it's not suitable for us to go elsewhere. ”
Li Hongshen snorted after hearing this, but did not say anything.
Hamahama listened to the way of the carpenter and thought of one, that is, the flow of people, and the flow of people here should be relatively large. Those who come in the morning to buy fish, those who come home in the evening, and those who live by the river. The more Hamahama thought about it, the more excited he became, the people here were afraid of face and disdained to do business here to make money, it was really stupid, who would have trouble with money.
On the side of the northwest gate, against the wall, they saw a small shop. Hamahama rushed to get off the car first, and it was about 70 square meters by sight, and he didn't expect it to do big business anyway, and it was estimated that it was enough. Hamahama looked around, there is a teahouse nearby, a mill, a small restaurant, there is a big red paper in front of the restaurant, marked, you can stay inside. It can be seen that although this place is remote and the status of the consumer group is low, there are still people who can't get along with money. (To be continued.) )
