I was startled and turned my head to see Zhuo Ran staring intently at the paper I had spread out on the table.

"If you don't know, it's right." I say.

"Is this a mistake, you see, is there something missing next to it?" Zhuo Ran pointed to one of the words.

I said, "I just know it." ”

"If you want to learn to read, I can teach you." Zhuo Ran said again.

"No, I'm busy right now. I'm going out. "Packed up the pen and paper, I left quickly, he has been talking a lot lately, and he is nosy.

I'm out again, and I'm going to have to look to see if there's a suitable storefront...... But I don't seem to have the capital, if I use it, it's too unkind, and the money used to open a store is not a small amount. I don't know if this ancient "bank" can "lend"? It should be okay, otherwise he will make nothing!

I walked around, and in the end, Huang Tian paid off, and in the most lively area, there happened to be a resale notice posted outside a restaurant.

I took a look outside the door, this building has two floors, covers a large area, I don't know how much space there is inside. I'm going to go in and have a look.

In the restaurant, in addition to the tables and chairs, there is only a middle-aged man wearing a round hat at the counter, who is busy with his head down. Maybe he heard footsteps, and the person at the counter didn't raise his head before saying, "Guest officer, this store is closed, you better go elsewhere." ”

"Are you the boss here?" I asked, my eyes spilled around the building, it was not bad, the space was quite large, there was a patio overhead, and it seemed to be a private seat behind the corridor on the second floor.

"Yes, I'm the owner of the house." The man at the counter said.

I approached the counter: "I want to buy your shop." ”

The shopkeeper finally looked up at me, and the moment he saw me, he was stunned.

I smiled, and I was no stranger to his expression.

"Hey, do you sell it?" Seeing that he hadn't come back to his senses for a long time, I had no choice but to say.

"Oh, ahem." The homeowner, who felt out of his temper, immediately coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and said, "The girl is not joking with me, is she?" ”

"I'm not kidding, but I've got to take a good look at this place." He had reason to think I was joking, after all, this was ancient times, and women were no better than men.

"Okay, then the girl will go around on her own." Said the homeowner.

Leaving the counter, I went straight up to the second floor and casually pushed open a few rooms to take a look. It's not bad, the width of the compartment is appropriate, and the brightness is good. When I went downstairs, I saw a door leading to the back not far away, and I followed it.

Behind the door is a small open-air patio, followed by a three-sided house surrounding the patio.

Overall, I thought it was pretty good, and when I got back to the counter, I asked the owner, "How much did I get it?" ”

"Eight hundred taels of silver." The owner replied.

Now I was a little worried, and the pride I had when I entered the store was gone—because I still couldn't figure out the face value of the coins of this era, and I guess there were a lot of them, and I didn't have any of them......

"This is already the lowest, you look at this area, people come and go. The house is also good, spacious and bright, there is a small courtyard at the back, by the way, there is an ice cellar, in the summer, the most suitable for storing food...... If the girl can't pay this price...... Please leave. The owner said and sat back.

I thought about it for a moment before I said, "No problem, but I'm in a hurry to come out today, and I'll bring money tomorrow, okay?" ”

"Absolutely." Said the homeowner.

"You can't give it to anyone else until then."

"This girl can rest assured, I am a businessman, and I am right, but if the girl does not come after tomorrow, then it is no wonder that I am not there." Said the homeowner.

"OK, it's a deal!" After I was sure, I left to raise money.

The store has been found, but now what is missing is money. I want to open a hot pot restaurant, and when I was still in the 21st century, I would always eat it a few times a month when I had something to do, and the taste made my mouth water when I thought about it.

But I can't do it myself, but it's okay to come up with some ideas, as long as there is a chef then.

When I was walking down the street just now, I didn't see a hot pot restaurant in the place I walked by, and if it did, it would probably be the only one. But...... The most important thing now is to raise money.

In ancient times, the bank was called Qianzhuang, and I searched from house to house as I walked, and finally I saw a money bank called "Sihai Qianzhuang" not far from the store I was optimistic about.

I went in, and a man in his forties was sitting behind a counter with a wooden fence. Walking forward, I said, "Uncle, I want to borrow some silver taels from your bank." ”

The shopkeeper glanced at me: "Don't be close, let's say, how much do you want to borrow." You've come to the right place, our bank has the lowest interest. ”

I blurted out, "How about nine hundred taels of silver?" ”

The shopkeeper finally looked me in front of me and said, "What is the girl going to use as collateral for such a large sum of money?" ”

I was confused: "I still have to mortgage things, but I don't have anything." "Why don't you just calculate the interest?

"It's okay to have a guarantor." And the shopkeeper said.

"Guarantor...... Don't you just calculate the interest? I asked, confused.

"What kind of joke is the girl, such a large sum of silver is released, if the girl runs away, where will we go to collect the debt, I don't think the girl talks like a local. Of course, we have to collect interest. ”

What can I do? Take something as collateral and I don't have anything...... By the way, before marrying Zhuo Ran, the bracelet given by the Xu family will be redeemed when there is money.

I took off the bracelet and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Can this be used as collateral?" ”

The shopkeeper squinted at it and said, "Girl's bracelet, although it is worth a lot of money, I have no use for it, if you take it to the pawnshop, you can mortgage some silver taels." ”

"How much?" I asked.

"It's not a problem to be a hundred taels of silver."

"Ahh I was a little disappointed, thought about it, and asked, "Then what do you need as collateral?" ”

"Preferably a title deed."

The shopkeeper's answer discouraged me a little, so I had better find another way.

Leaving the counter, I walked back, only to hit my head in someone's arms at the door. I couldn't help but take a step back because he was coming in from the bend on one side, and I didn't see anyone coming in beforehand.

The other party was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "Girl, is it you?" ”

I'm inexplicable, how come I don't remember knowing such a person? But the person in front of me is really good-looking. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, the bridge of the nose is high, and the face is heroic. Although he was wearing a gorgeous robe, he didn't look tacky, as if he was born to wear it like this.

"Young owner, you're here!" A voice interjected, interrupting my thoughts.

"You seem to know me?" I asked the good-looking young man.

The young man held the folding fan in his hand and arched his hand towards me, and said: "In Xia Chang Yanxiao, I am fortunate to have met the girl. ”

And this thing, it won't be an excuse to talk, right? I thought to myself.
