Chapter 188: Preparation
When he returned to the house from Baxian Fang, it was almost time, and Song Chen originally wanted to discuss with Su Miao about the alternative Zhuangzi addresses that he had fancied in the suburbs today, but when he saw that the latter's eyes began to be a little foggy, he hurriedly asked her to go back to the courtyard to rest first.

On the second day, after Song Chen and Su Miao had breakfast, they went to Hengqing Hall. After they left Lily of the Valley City yesterday, they ran outside for more than two hours, and almost saw the piece between Lily of the Valley City and Sword Orchid City, and finally, they took a fancy to a few hills in the city of Sword and Orchid City, the terrain is not high or low, it is the kind that large families often choose to build other villages, and they think that it is very good to build a granary. But I don't know if there is a master in these places, so I still have to let Lin Jiu arrange someone to investigate.
As soon as he sat down in the elegant room on the second floor of Hengqing Hall, Lin Jiu also followed the man serving tea into the door from downstairs.
"Little prince, Miss Su." Lin Jiu saluted, with a wave of joy on his face, "The guys in the store all asked me to thank the two young owners!" "The sea shrimp freshly transported back from Baxian Fang, not to mention Lily of the Valley City, is rare in the entire Dalan! But these two young owners directly took over the entire Eight Fresh Workshop, just to let all the guys and subordinates try it. Yesterday, when the shopkeeper Chen of Baxian Fang came to discuss the dishes with him in person, he was still suspicious, but he knew the shopkeeper Chen of Baxianfang, and he didn't need to joke about it. Shopkeeper Chen left a dish that could be made with big seafood for him to choose, since Song Chen and Su Miao took out such a big deal, he also asked people to consult the opinions of various guys, and it was certain that it would be difficult to reconcile, so there must be candidates for all kinds of methods. But after consulting for advice, you can arrange people with the same taste at the same table, and you can reply to the shopkeeper Chen, which method needs to be done in as many quantities.
"You've all worked hard!" Song Chen waved his hand, "Let's close the door after noon today, so that those guys can go back and meet their families before going over together." ”
"Yes." After Lin Jiuying got down, he waited for Song Chen and Su Miao to speak, after just a few times of getting along, he already knew that these two masters were the kind of people who "went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing", and they came to Hengqing Hall so early, they must have come to listen to them and let them close early.
"In this way, Miss Su and I went out of the city yesterday, and we took a fancy to a few places, and I think they can all be used to build a granary." Song Chen had already prepared, he stood up, spread the map of Lily of the Valley City brought over to the Eight Immortals table next to him, and beckoned Su Miao and Lin Jiu to sit down. He dotted a few circles drawn on the map in the direction of Jianlan City, "These are these four places, Baiyun Mountain, Luoxiaping, Qinglinpu, and Bali Pavilion." ”
Lin Jiu looked at a few places, he had been in Lily of the Valley City for many years, and he already knew the whole city very well: "These four places are all small hills with high terrain, but in terms of facilitating the transportation of grain, Baiyun Mountain will be better, because from Lily of the Valley City or from Lily of the Valley City, there are roads leading to Baiyun Mountain." The roads on the other three hills are relatively difficult to walk, but as long as the grain trucks used are smaller, it is the difference between one or two more cars. ”
"That's right." Song Chen's finger pointed to the words Baiyun Mountain, "We also think this is the best, but I don't know if there is a master here, can we talk about it?" So I looked for a few more alternatives. If you arrange it in order, Baiyun Mountain is the first choice, Luoxiaping is second, Qinglin is third, and the last is Bali Pavilion. ”
"Uncle Lin, I have to trouble you to arrange someone to ask specifically tomorrow, it is best to take Baiyun Mountain, and the price can be more than one percent, the most important thing is that the road is convenient to go up and down."
Lin Jiu memorized all the names of those places in his heart, and said, "No problem, I'll find a broker to do this tomorrow." It just so happened that I would come back later in looking for the second shopkeeper of the store, and after I gave the two of you the alternate positions, I could let the broker do things together by the way. ”
"Well, the location of the grain shop can be discussed tomorrow morning, and it is not too late to find a broker in the afternoon or the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, the address of the granary will be given first, because it is still bare, and it will take time to build the granary. Speaking of this, Song Chen paused, "There is one more thing, the real function of the granary is to store grain, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, we need to leave most of the space underground, we need people to dig the basement." So at dinner, Uncle Lin, you can also pay attention to which family has a guy who can do this kung fu and is trustworthy, you can ask the guy the day after tomorrow, if their family is willing to build a granary, there will be three times the salary, but it needs to be kept secret. ”
"Yes." When Song Chen and Su Miao mentioned the matter of opening a grain shop to Lin Jiu that day, they had already told him the true purpose, so he was not surprised to hear that the basement was going to be excavated, and he made a note of this matter in his heart, and secrecy was the first priority.
After the matter was discussed, Song Chen and Su Miao went to the house. Song Chen has already seen the topography of those four places on the spot, no matter which location he finally buys, the granary will be built on the top of the mountain, the highest place. The positions are the same, so the drawings can also be drawn. He had to get the drawings ready before the place was bought, so that when the address was fixed, he could immediately gather people to start work without delay.
Moreover, I don't know how the master and father are prepared, but the guess is that his drawings must be in triplicate, and the other two copies need to be passed on to the two sides separately.
Entering the house, Su Miao automatically and consciously followed Song Chen to his study, and when he began to conceive on the paper, she stood next to him and slowly helped him grind the ink. Song Chen looked at her serious face and pretty figure, and had a sense of happiness with red sleeves and fragrance. When conceiving, I couldn't help but take him and Su Miao into account. In addition to the comparison between the basement and the granary on the ground, the courtyard where the two people live was designed by him to have the effect of a mirror image, which looks like a pair of wings at a glance, and it is "flying with wings"......
Su Miao grinded the ink quietly, she felt that in this matter, in addition to being able to accompany Song Chen when he went to run, he was alone in making ideas and making various decisions. So if she can help, she will do her best. Grinding ink is even more laborious, she can't play with Xiaobai in the courtyard when Song Chen is trying his best to do things, right? When things are on track, there's still plenty of time to play!
Lin Jiu knew that the two of them had something to do, so when it was almost time for the banquet to begin, he personally came back to the house to invite them.
Lin Jiu actually knew that this was a bit unruly, in an ordinary family, how could the main family eat in the same room with his buddies and subordinates? But Song Chen and Su Miao have never been superior to each other when they come into contact with these guys, and they also told him that they will also be present when the time comes, so he is bold.
Lin Jiu's family is not in Lily of the Valley City, the table he is sitting at is the second shopkeeper, as well as the guards of Hengqing Hall, Song Chen and Su Miao refused the arrangement of the two of them at one table, and directly came over and sat at the same table with Lin Jiu. Although they are easy-going on weekdays, they have never gotten along with each other after all, at first, the people at the table were quite restrained, but later, after someone dared to give Song Chen and Su Miao a glass of wine and they didn't refuse, the toasters went one after another. Wine can strengthen people's courage, originally they saw that Song Chen and Su Miao were so massive, and they were still planning to fight on wheels, but Lin Jiu stopped them, so they could only come over table by table at most. Even so, Song Chen and Su Miao still drank more than two dozen glasses. Fortunately, they drank plum blossom wine mixed with the original liquid that Su Miao carried. The taste is good, but the power is not great at all.
But those guys were almost drunk. At the end of the party, Lin Jiu also arranged sober people and sent them back one by one.
Song Chen and Su Miao looked at this situation and said very considerately: "Let's go to work after noon tomorrow!" Get a good night's sleep first! Don't wake up tomorrow before you wake up, it's bad to miscalculate! ”
The last sentence was a joke, and as soon as the words fell, everyone laughed.
The little second brothers of Baxian Fang, who fully witnessed the banquet of Hengqing Hall, all looked at the shopkeeper Chen with a little eyes after they left, and those eyes seemed to ask the latter: We can also be like Hengqingtang at ten times, please eat and drink spicy food?
Lin Jiu had a heavy responsibility and had to control the overall situation, so he kept pressing the volume, and he got up early the next morning. Although Song Chen and the others ordered the door to open after noon, he still went to Hengqing Hall with two guards early in the morning, and he made an appointment with the broker to discuss the purchase of the mountain.
After the broker told him, within two quarters of an hour, Song Chen and Su Miao, who had heard that Lin Jiu had gone out in the house, also came to Hengqing Hall. They remembered that Lin Jiu said that he would give them the address of the grain store this morning.
As soon as Lin Jiu saw that it was them, he also spread out the prepared map and pointed out to them the initial store address of the second shopkeeper: "The second shopkeeper has found a total of four places, one is in Shuanggui Street, one is in Jiujin Street, one is in Baihua Lane, and one is in Sweet Water Lane. ”
"These four places are the most lively streets in Lily of the Valley City, with many shops, people in the city go shopping, or people outside the city come to the market, usually go to the market in one of these four streets and alleys, if the grain is spread here, more people can know faster."
"Or in the beginning, we can send people inside or outside the city to put up some notices." Su Miao thought of an idea, and she felt that it was very feasible, "Make the address of our grain store, the purpose of collecting grain, and the price public, so that a lot of people will come to patronize it." ”
"Hmmm! It's a great idea! Song Chen first agreed.
Su Miao was praised, but she was a little embarrassed, she stopped talking and picked up the tea bowl and drank it.
"In that case." Song Chen noticed that these four markets, one was located in the north of the center of the city, and the other three were close to the east, south, and west city gates, which were indeed the best choices, "Then open four!" In the afternoon, I asked the broker to come over, signed the contract, and started the transformation after tomorrow. ”
"Yes." Lin Jiu said with a smile at this time, "I heard the second shopkeeper say that these used to be shops, but after changing hands, we can use them directly by making some small changes, without spending too much effort." ”
"That's better!" Song Chen was very satisfied with this second shopkeeper, "In the future, I will send this second shopkeeper to be the deputy head of these four grain shops, and send four more people to be the shopkeeper, and let the second shopkeeper do the work of recruiting guys." Uncle Lin, you are busy, just look at the people and the general ledger when the time comes. ”
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness!" Lin Jiu said gratefully, "Then I'll draw up the notice that needs to be posted?" If the little prince and Miss Su think it's okay, I'll ask a scholar to come over and copy a hundred copies. ”
Song Chen and Su Miao agreed.
There are desks and four treasures in the study room in the elegant room, Lin Jiu spread out the paper, wrote the word "notice", and asked: "What is the name of our grain shop?" ”
Su Miao tilted her head and thought for a while: "Lin Ji grain shop? "This name is very her naming style, and the Lin Kee Teahouse was named by her......
Song Chen smiled: "If it's called 'Feng'an Grain Shop', what do you think of Miaomiao?" Take the meaning of abundant grains and national peace and security. ”
"I think it's very good." Su Miao was convinced.
"That's the name." Song Chen said to Lin Jiu, "When you make a signboard, remember to have a 'Lin Ji' mark in the upper left corner." ”
"I know." Lin Jiufen wrote for a while, then raised his head again, "Just now Miss Su said that the price of grain should also be marked, and the price of grain ...... How to decide? ”
"What is the price of food right now? Is it stable? Song Chen asked.
Not only Hengqingtang, but also Lin Jiu is in charge of the house where they live, so he does not directly handle his rice and grain, but he will see the accounts every month, although he is very impressed: "A bucket of about two hundred yuan, nearly half of the grain has been the case." ”
"That's not right!" Song Chen thought of a question, "Our price is one percent higher than the purchase price of ordinary grain stores...... Then just write this sentence! At that time, check the purchase price, and then post a notice outside the door of the grain store. ”
"Okay!"
After Lin Jiu continued to write half a cup of tea, he invited Song Chen and Su Miao to come over and review it. Song Chen glanced at it, Lin Jiu deserved to be the shopkeeper, he wrote very concisely and to the point, and he could point out the theme.
"Very good!" Song Chen said with satisfaction, "Then the follow-up things will be hard for you, Uncle Lin." "Counting up, there are a lot of things to do in this newly opened grain store, such as talking about contracts, ordering signboards, copying notices, arranging manpower, etc., although Lin Jiu didn't do it directly, but this large number of things were arranged, and it was enough for him to be busy.
As soon as Song Chen thought of the signboard, he saw Lin Jiu re-laying a piece of paper, looked at Song Chen and said, "Little prince, I have to ask you to give an inscription to this signboard......
Song Chen was also not polite, and at Lin Jiu's request, he wrote down a few big characters of Long Fei and Wufeng, and then left with Su Miaoshi Shiran. (To be continued.) )
