Ling'er twitched the corners of her mouth and recruited her son-in-law! The old lady thinks really far enough, hasn't she always said that she can find a down-to-earth person who is good for herself? Tsk, the old lady's appetite has grown!

Ling'er rolled her eyes and thought of a way, as long as the grain was collected, the deal could be completed, and she would buy the shop no matter what! The old lady has been used to saving all her life, and her conservative thinking has been ingrained all her life, so it is not easy to convince her, it is better to ...... Ling'er looked at the father who was smacking the cigarette pouch on the side, and touched it with a smile: "Dad, is this cigarette easy to smoke?" ”

Daddy looked up at her, took a few puffs of smoke rings, nodded slightly, and hummed.

"Hehe, Dad, if we buy a shop, you don't need to work hard day and night to weave bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets, just sit at the door of the shop every day and take a few puffs of cigarettes, brag with acquaintances, and someone comes to say hello, wouldn't you be comfortable on that day?"

Dad squinted at her slightly, his eyes seemed to see Ling'er's heart, Ling'er smiled awkwardly: "Dad, I think our family doesn't need money urgently anyway, and the silver is also put away, so it's better to buy a shop:

First, it is easier for you to buy and sell something; Second, we can use the shop to do some small business, if we run it well, maybe we can earn back the money from buying the shop in a few months! ”

"How can it be that easy? If you really want to make so much money in trading, why do people still transfer the shop out? Don't farm, let's do business! The old lady who put the money box out answered.

"Mother, that's not necessarily, as long as there is a good deal, you can definitely make money, don't you see that the Wang Yuanwai family on the opposite side of the mountain is making a fortune by doing business?"

"Nonsense! Where did people make their fortunes in business? Before doing business, the family already had hundreds of acres of land as the foundation, and I heard that they lost a few times in the middle, and almost sold out the fields and real estate! Our family only has a few pieces of silver, if we do badly, we don't have so many fields and real estate to pay! ”

"Oh, mother, I won't lose, I have a good way, I must make a steady profit!"

The old lady still shook her head: "No, there are many ways for people to do business, how can you be a yellow-haired girl?" No, everything else can be discussed, but this one! ”

"Mother~~~" Ling'er stretched out her tone and coquettishly, but the old lady never let go, and finally the father spat out the smoke ring and said: "Mother, let her do it if the child wants to do it, the silver money is also earned back by her hard work for several months, she thinks it is feasible to let her try, the big deal is that we have never seen those dozens of taels of silver!" ”

Ling'er was so happy when she heard this that she jumped three feet high and hugged her father's arm: "Daddy is so good!" ”

The old lady frowned and said, "You old man...... Alas, you just get used to her, you have to suffer a loss to believe it! Although the old lady sighed again and again, she did not strongly object, so it is very good!

The next morning, Ling'er helped her father and mother work at home, and after eating at noon, she went to the river to cut bamboo under the pretext of carrying a firewood knife to the town. She followed her memory to the small courtyard where Liang Daming took her yesterday, and watched at the door for a while, only to see that it was still full of residual leaves, and it looked tattered, not like someone had come!

She entered the yard and groped for a long time under the stone mill in the corner of the yard, and her face was happy, there she was! She quickly took out the bamboo tube and opened it, and there was a note and a silver ticket inside, and the silver ticket was fifty taels, which was great! I'm still thinking about forgetting to mention the deposit yesterday, how can I help them collect food if I don't have any money? Now it's all right, everything is ready!

Then she opened the note, and there were a few sentences on it: Fifty taels of silver are decided, and two hundred loads of grain must be collected within ten days, otherwise the deposit will be doubled, and another: It is absolutely forbidden to trade with the government and rice grain shops!

Ling'er pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice: "I thought they were more righteous, and they paid the silver before they got the grain, it turned out to be conditional, if they couldn't receive the grain within ten days, or if it wasn't enough for two hundred loads, wouldn't I pay them one hundred taels!" Tsk, it's really cunning enough, and he also says that he is isolated from the world and doesn't care about the world! It's really ......."

Ling'er put away the note and silver ticket, thought about it, found a carbon rod and straw paper, wrote a few words crookedly, stuffed it into the bamboo tube, put the bamboo tube back in its place and left as if nothing happened. What she didn't notice was that as soon as she left the courtyard gate, an unkempt head appeared from behind the courtyard wall, looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, she touched into the courtyard and took a bamboo tube.

Ling'er came to the steamed bun shop at the entrance of the town, I didn't catch the market today, and the lunch time was over, there were two cage drawers at the door, there was no heat, and the proprietress was sitting at the door with a fan and a big fan.

"Auntie? Lady ......" Ling'er called a few times cautiously, the proprietress didn't seem to react, Ling'er rolled her eyes and said loudly: "Boss, buy buns!" ”

The proprietress stood up suddenly: "Hey, okay, how many do you want from the guest officer?" What's the stuffing? ”

Ling'er grinned and said, "Auntie, I shouldn't call you for so long, you will wake up as soon as you mention the bun!" ”

The proprietress was stunned for a moment when she saw that it was Ling'er, and then smiled again and said, "It's you girl, you want to buy buns?" ”

"Buy, give me two meats! Auntie, did you ask about your help yesterday? ”

"Yesterday?" The proprietress thought for a while and patted her head: "Oops, I almost forgot about this stubble!" It happened to be just right, this morning the lady next door came back for a trip, I asked for you, she said that thirty taels can be sold, but the shop was smashed by the debt, and there are few good pieces of furniture or something, and you have to find a craftsman to repair it.

She said that she didn't have time to find someone to repair it, and she didn't have the money to repair it, if the buyer was willing, she would come over immediately to get the contract! ”

Ling'er nodded in response, thinking in her heart, the proprietress said, "Little girl, this ...... I see that you often come to me to buy steamed buns, and you are considered an acquaintance, so if you are not in a hurry, don't buy this shop! ”

"Huh? Why? Auntie, isn't this location very good? ”

"Where's the good? You are looking at the two days of the market, but there are a total of 30 days in a month, and the days of the market are only three days, and the remaining 20 days are almost deserted except for the New Year's holiday, how can the income of three days be enough for more than 20 days of life for the whole family? You see, in addition to helping in the shop on market days, my family usually has to work as a casual worker everywhere!

Also, our place is a small town, this location is out of the town again, people who have money don't go from this side at all, we can only do the business of ordinary people, and we can't make a few dollars a year, to be honest, if someone can pay thirty taels, my shop is willing to sell together with the yard behind and these tables and chairs! ”

"Isn't it, auntie? It's a town anyway! It's not that bad, is it? ”

"Alas, believe it or not, I just said it casually, you don't believe it when I didn't say it! Girl, does your neighbor want this shop? If you want, I'll send a message to that lady! ”

Ling'er thought for a while, rolled her eyes, turned the cage drawer, pulled the proprietress into the shop, and whispered in her ear, the proprietress frowned and said, "This... Not quite right? I've been neighbors with that girl for more than ten years, and she's in trouble now, if I help you lower the price for her, it's ......"

"Auntie, you also said, this place is a small town, everyone knows how much it is worth, and those who want debts may come to the door when they will come to the door, and if they are in a hurry to set off the torch shop and burn it, won't she have nothing and drag a lot of debts? And your neighbors are also implicated, aren't they?

Let's talk about business, let's talk about business, what we should do, auntie, if you can help me reduce the price to twenty taels, I will give you two taels of silver as a reward, how about it? ”

"Two two?!" The proprietress hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, it's decided!" Her shabby shop can sell for twenty taels is about the same, it's better to sell it early, the last time the debt smashed her things, and even my wall panels, cage drawers, tables and chairs were smashed a lot, I'm embarrassed to ask her, alas! ”

"Lady, when are you going to find that lady? When will there be a reply? ”

The proprietress looked her up and down for a moment: "Girl, you tell me the truth, do you want this shop or do your neighbors want it?" ”

Ling'er smiled embarrassedly: "Hehe, auntie, don't tell you, I see that my father and mother work hard every time they catch the market, and the family has just enough money for twenty taels, and there is such a good neighbor as the eldest mother here, as long as twenty taels can be discussed, I plan not to tell the neighbors, we bought it ourselves!" ”

The proprietress smiled: "That's a good feeling, let's be neighbors in the future, you don't have to run up and down to buy buns!" ”

"Yes, yes, I will come to my mother's house every day to buy steamed buns!"

The two of them talked and laughed while talking about the shop, the proprietress seemed to be kind, but she kept asking Ling'er's family what business they planned to do with the shop? When I heard that it was just buying and selling bamboo goods or opening a carpenter's shop or something, the proprietress was immediately happy! Ling'er laughed secretly in her heart, it turned out that this proprietress was afraid that she would rob her business!

With the two taels of silver as a reward, the proprietress of the bun shop was extremely positive and enthusiastic, and immediately asked Ling'er to go with her to the grocery store lady to negotiate the price. So just as Ling'er wished, this news was from beginning to end to listen to the proprietress of the bun shop saying that it would be best to meet the real person and confirm it.

In fact, the grocery store lady's maiden home is on the other side of the town, and there are a few shops at home, and they also run grocery stores.

Ling'er followed the proprietress of the bun shop without saying a word, and listened to their first talk about the head of the house, Li Jiaxiao, then complaining and sighing, and finally talking about the price.

The grocery store lady insisted on thirty taels, and the bun shop lady did not directly reduce the price, but only said how her shop's business was, how much money she could earn every day, how much she spent, and how much she had leftover. Then I took the debt to talk about things, and furniture or something, one by one, the shop just repaired and made furniture cost seven or eight taels, plus various risks, and finally calculated that it can be sold for fifteen taels is good!

The grocery store lady frowned again and again when she heard this, and finally couldn't stand the persuasion of the proprietress of the bun shop, so she really agreed to sell the shop for twenty taels of silver!
