An obscure shop, no, an inconspicuous shop, in just a few days, only made the villagers of Fengshan crazy several times. The first time, you can take whatever you want in the store, and you don't need money, the second time, the store doesn't sell anything, only couplets, and the third time, these three couplets are worth five hundred taels of silver!

There is still autumn frost hanging on the grass branches in early spring, and the smell of the north wind blowing on the body is not pleasant, but in this kind of weather, dozens of Fengshan villagers who have seen ghosts gather together every day for a so-called divine bird egg, and the first fifty people can get an egg for free!

How much is an egg worth? But how tempting the word free is!

Oh my God, how many villagers in Fengshan smacked their big mouths fiercely for a while, if only they were born in a scholarly family, at least they could understand what kind of eggs were drawn on the wooden board. But most of them didn't even know a word about the fall of the burden.

For a time, the reputation of this strange shop resounded all over the country, and even Xinghua had many people come to watch. It has become the biggest talking point of Fengshan people after dinner. Who said that reading is useless, there are thousands of bells in the book, and there is a golden house in the book!

As soon as the five hundred taels of silver and gold mouth came out, it should not be a lie, besides, the shopkeeper gave one hundred taels to the young man, and the other four hundred taels were said by Zheng Daguan, a wealthy man in Xinghua. It is said that even the official Zheng Daguan, who has the highest reputation in Fengshan, did not make any couplets, and it was not so easy to take the five hundred taels of silver.

In this small shop in Fengshan, from now on, from time to time, there are poor scholars dressed in big-sleeved white clothes and coarse linen cloth to stop and meditate in the store, and there are also sons of families dressed in brocade and satin robes, holding paper fans, standing in the store to taste, and then returning home.

The villagers of Fengshan know more about the first store at the intersection of the township, which sells three pairs of five hundred taels of ancient odd unions, but they also know that no one has ever come out.

Liang Chuan left Ye Xiaochai to watch the store in the store, because this girl treats people generously and decently, and has a bit of everyone's demeanor, although women in this era can't show their heads outside, that is the rules and regulations that only scholars will pick out. I can't eat enough, and if there is a little labor at home, no one can help to do some work or something. What's more, Ye Xiaochai's family is a descendant of the Zhang family, and the owner ordered it, can you not listen to it.

Ye Xiaochai himself also wants to learn bamboo weaving with Yi Niang and Li Erhua, several women are together, there is no nuisance, quiet, there are talking and laughing, weaving bamboo weaving in the small courtyard, listening to other people tell anecdotes from the past, it is better than being idle in the small shop to attract flies.

But Liang Chuan and a few people looked at it, and the most suitable person for this small shop was Ye Xiaochai. Ye Xiaochai is literate, whether the couplet is corrected or not, or the business is on track in the future, he needs a trustworthy person who can write and keep accounts to be the shopkeeper. If she meets this condition, she is the only one by her side.

Now the home has basically become a small bamboo weaving workshop, or the kind without a license. Li Chuyi also made bamboo weaving because of Yiniang and several women, and a few people in Maozhu were not enough, so he took the initiative to ask Yingying to go up the mountain to cut it. Although he only has one arm, Li Erhua first weaved a bamboo basket for him, which can put fresh spring bamboo shoots on the mountain, and he can carry two more bamboos on his shoulders, and his black nose is jumping back and forth.

Liang Chuan didn't have to go to the mountains to cut bamboo, so he was at ease chopping his own firewood and practicing his axe in the yard. There are a few chirping women next to her, and from time to time they tell some mythological stories such as a Chinese ghost story, a flower girl, and a Baolian lamp.

In their eyes, Liang Chuan's mouth is as clever as that of a storyteller, and he is full of stories at his fingertips, and he doesn't have to repeat them.

Because there is nothing to do at night, doing bamboo weaving can better pass the time, now in addition to housework, several people are not idle at night, and seriously follow Li Erhua to learn bamboo weaving. It is also a few people who are ingenious, and in just a few days, the scraped slivers and woven bamboos have already looked a little bit. The most basic bamboo basket can be made by yourself.

On the third day after the opening of the new store, Ye Xiaochai watched the store during the day and went back to Fengshan to sleep at night. But when he came back that day, Ye Xiaochai's face was obviously wrong. Yi Niang is delicate, who has something in his heart, his eyes can see it at a glance.

After Ye Xiaochai came back, he saw that several people were busy with bamboo weaving, and he sat quietly on the side and sighed. Seeing this, Yi Niang sat down next to Ye Xiaochai, took Ye Xiaochai's little hand, and asked, "Xiaochai, what's wrong with you, is there something wrong in the store, don't hide something in your heart, say it and find a way to solve it." ”

Ye Xiaochai's expression was downcast, she sat aside without saying a word, and Yi Niang asked a few more times before she spoke: "I envy you, sitting here happily doing simple manual work, a few people are talking and laughing." I sat in that empty shop, and every day I was in a daze, and there was no one to talk to. ”

Yi Niang said: "Then don't you want to do this, tomorrow we will bring Maozhu to Fengshan, do it in the store, and accompany you, so that you will not be alone." ”

Ye Xiaochai said: "No, the owner arranges it like this, naturally he has a reason." I don't want to make it difficult for him. Actually, there are a few people in the store today. ”

Liang Chuan thought that Ye Xiaochai was too boring to do, so he didn't plan to pay attention to it with a smile. As a result, I still heard bad news, and sure enough, something went wrong.

Liang Chuan called Ye Xiaochai to him and asked, "Xiaochai, who is here in the store?" Why do you have a sad face, has someone made a match for me? ”

"No one in Fengshan has the ability to play against the owner's pair, and this owner can rest assured. Today I was sitting in the store, and there were a few rogue scoundrels who were angry, and as soon as they entered the door, they shouted and screamed, asking the owner to come out, and I asked them what was going on, and they said. ”

"Are they going to collect protection money and honor silver?"

Ye Xiaochai's apricot eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at Liang Chuan with a look of surprise and said, "Dongjia, you weren't in the store at the time, how do you know that someone came to the store to collect protection money." ”

Liang Chuan snorted coldly in his heart, he had seen this kind of thing a lot before when he was at the grassroots level, and many small shops and shops could not survive because of business difficulties, but because of the oppression of these ruffians and hooligans. Because most of the ruffians are not alone, the store reported the case, although some people were arrested, but the detention was at most 15 days, but the store was faced with endless crazy destruction and harassment, and most of the people who wanted to do business still chose to pay money to settle the matter.

In the Celestial Empire, where the public security management is already quite complete, there are so many ruffians who collect protection money, let alone in this feudal era where the public security management is virtually nonexistent.

In addition to collecting protection fees, there are also peers who smash the field, will there be a community to send warmth?

"I can't think of anything else that would make you a clever girl sad except for this." Liang Chuan didn't take it seriously, this kind of thing would happen sooner or later, and it would be solved sooner rather than later.

"I told them today that you are not here today, and you will come to the store tomorrow, and they saw that there was nothing else in the store, so they tore off the red silk with the last pair covered with red silk. They are illiterate, they curse in their mouths, and they put down a sentence saying that they will come again tomorrow. Ye Xiaochai looked sad and continued: "Why is there so much scum in this place, and I have encountered it. ”

Liang Chuan comforted: "Don't worry too much, this world is like this, it's just that you haven't come into contact with its dark side." Don't pay too much attention to these social scum, where there is sunshine, there will be darkness, and the stronger the sun, the stronger the darkness. This era is already a very good era, don't lose confidence because of a small group of social dregs. ”

"What are you going to do, owner?" Ye Xiaochai has always blamed himself for the reason for the trouble, as if this incident was caused by him.

"Don't do it, the soldiers will come, and the water will cover the earth. Besides, it's just a few stinky skins, don't worry, no matter how horizontal they are, can they be able to cross the beasts in Da Wei Mountain? Besides, they are just trying to get a few money, and everything that money can solve is nothing. If money can't be solved, then use your fists to speak. Liang Chuan said and looked in the direction of Nu Li Chuyi with his mouth, and said: "We have Brother Li here, they are not afraid of death, just come." ”

Li Chuyi sat on the stone pier at the entrance of the ancestral hall, with a look of closed eyes and recuperation when he was fine all day long, he was not really asleep, and when he heard that Liang Chuan was ready to betray his force again, let him go to be a free thug, and said lightly: "This matter has nothing to do with me, even if you are broken by others, I just don't see it." ”

"Uhhhhh

"If you still need me to make a move on a few little splashes, then you should die as soon as possible, practice your axe skills every day, and you can't even clean up a few gangsters at the end of the practice, look at the appearance of those splashes, it's just no different from the starving ghost skinny monkey." Li Chuyi's words can choke people to death.

"Alas, my thin body is dead and dead, poor brother Zhao is still young, no one will take care of Yiniang Xiaochai Erhua Yang Xiu in the future, Brother Li, if I don't want to be hurt by them, you will work hard to help me take care of the aftermath and avenge me. Come on, tell me, how many people are there on the other side, are they tall and strong? Do you have a guy on you? ”

Liang Chuan was pretending to be pitiful again, which made Yiniang and several of them laugh for a while, but the catastrophe seemed to be light, intentionally or unintentionally, maybe Liang Chuan didn't want them to worry?
