Xiang'er brings lunch every day, and today there is Dongpo meat that Yang Bo loves to eat, and the bright and fat Dongpo meat makes Yang Bo's appetite open and he eats an extra bowl of rice.

After Yang Bo finished eating, he wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Miss Xiang'er, in the future, I will bring a bowl of Dongpo meat, we all love to eat." ”

"Thick skin, I think you eat a lot alone, I cook this meal for Yiming alone, you like to eat and cook it yourself." Xiang'er was not angry and said.

Yang Bo smiled, ignored it, and said to Yiming and Leshui: "You two also eat quickly, let's go to Erli Lane after eating." ”

A set of hot pot on Gan Blacksmith's side has been made, Yang Bo is very satisfied with it, it's time to rent a shop, his hot pot restaurant will open soon.

"Erli Lane, I'm going, I'm going." Le Pingsu went to the street to buy some vegetables at the bazaar of the blacksmith shop near Shaliu, Erli Lane is the most lively place in Shenjiabao, of course she wanted to go, but Yiming didn't have any reaction.

Xiang'er said categorically: "No, Yiming can't go, the eldest lady has explained before leaving, Yiming is not allowed to come with you." ”

Leshui was anxious when she heard it, if Yiming didn't go, it meant that she couldn't go, because she had to stay in the stone temple to take care of Yiming, Leshui pulled the corner of Xiang'er's clothes, and begged: "Just let Yiming go, always stay in the stone temple, it's stuffy, and it's about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, we also have to buy a lantern or something, please, Xiang'er good sister." ”

Xiang'er rolled her eyes, squinted at Yang Bo, and said, "It's okay to go to Yiming, then I have to keep an eye on you, otherwise don't even think about it." ”

Although Shenjiabao is outside the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, it is also a large town with a population of more than 2,000 people, legal and illegal, and there are many merchants who come and go.

Yang Bo even believed that illegal business had created the prosperity of Shenjiabao.

Yang Bo and the four of them are one dog and one dog, to be precise, four people and one wolf walked along the two ditches, walked under the sand willow tree, turned south at the tailor shop in Jiji, crossed in front of the Shen Mansion, passed through several small alleys to the west, and then turned south, which is the Erli Lane in the north-south direction.

Erli Lane is very lively, all kinds of shops, there are everything, this lane is said to be as long as two miles, so it is named Erli Lane.

The first time Yang Bo came, he simply went shopping first, walked around, and then got down to business.

Xiang'er said that she would not let Yiming come, but when she arrived at Erli Lane, she was even more excited than Leshui, and she had already pulled Leshui, and she didn't know where to run to the front.

Erli Lane is closer to the east of Shen Mansion is more prosperous, the shops are taller, the façade also looks magnificent, Shenjiabao's famous restaurant Deyue Building, Happy Visitors, Golden Cicada Gambling House, Silver Warehouse Pawn, and even a green building, the name of the Red Mansion, are all in the east, the shops in the west are relatively messy, and some are even temporary shantytowns.

Yang Bo took Shen Yiming to look at it while walking, thinking about what kind of shop to rent to open his hot pot restaurant, he only had two hundred taels of silver from Shen Yanqing in his hand, and it had already taken a lot to prepare solid alcohol and hot pot in the early stage, a two-story restaurant like Deyue Lou was not small, but Yang Bo definitely couldn't afford to rent it.

Yang Bo saw a restaurant in Huaixiang Pavilion, to be precise, a restaurant, because it has no building, only one floor above ground, located on the west side of Erli Lane.

There is a notice posted at the door of Huaixiang Pavilion, which says that this shop is subleased.

Yang Bo said in his heart, this is really a coincidence, I want to go in and have a look, but the two girls Leshui and Xiang'er don't know where to go.

Yang Bo looked around, and finally saw that they were picking something in front of a jewelry store not far ahead, so he walked over with Shen Yiming.

Walking closer, Yang Bo heard that Xiang'er was tinkering with Leshui to buy a beautiful silver hairpin, Leshui was holding the silver hairpin, he couldn't put it down, his eyebrows were very longing, but he muttered in his mouth: "It's too expensive, senior brother's silver is of great use, I can't spend silver indiscriminately." ”

Yang Bo coughed lightly, and when the two saw that it was Yang Bo and Yiming, they immediately shut up and did not speak.

Yang Bo said with a smile: "If you like it, you can buy it, senior brother has a lot of silver, and we can still afford a silver hairpin." ”

Instead, Leshui put down the hairpin and complained, "Senior brother, why did you come?" ”

Le Pingsu wore a Taoist robe and never wore a silver hairpin, Yang Boqi said: "Why don't you buy it again?" He said to the boss again: "I bought this hairpin, you can wrap it." ”

"Ouch, it's still this little brother who is refreshing, but your sister's eyesight is also good, this hairpin is made of sterling silver, the most popular style in Suzhou and Hangzhou this year, the most suitable for a little sister like her, you are given a preferential price, one or two dollars, you take it."

The boss smiled all over his face, said that a silver hairpin was like a flower, wrapped the hairpin with his hands and feet, and handed it to Yang Bo.

But Leshui grabbed Yang Bo's hand holding the money bag, dragged Yang Bo back, and said in his mouth: "Senior brother, if you don't buy it, you can't buy it, I'm really... No, let's go. ”

Yang Bo smiled apologetically with the boss and spread his hands, so he had to give up.

A few steps ahead, there is a shop that sells silk threads, and the front of the door is full of all kinds of ornaments made of silk threads, with different shapes, and some are also connected into strings, with the words on it, "auspicious wishes", "blessing and longevity", and there are many types.

Isn't this a Chinese knot? Spanning hundreds of years, the style hasn't changed much.

Several young women are choosing concentric knots, this concentric knot, the belt is made of silk thread, and the heart shape below is made of brocade ribbon, it seems that in Daming, this is also the favorite of young boys and girls.

Later generations of little girls love to compare hearts, probably also from this, people with this heart, heart with this reason, from ancient times to the present, with the same voice, affection is connected, no wonder later generations will knot as a symbol of cultural inheritance, called the Chinese knot.

Yang Bo watched with interest, and his hand was repeatedly making heart-to-heart movements.

"Senior brother, what are you doing in your hands?" Leshui Qidao.

When Yang Bo heard this, he woke up from the fugue and blurted out: "Well, this is a heart, that is, to make a heart shape..." Yang Bo spoke, and Chong Xiang'er in his hand made a heart.

Xiang'er was ashamed and annoyed, and said repeatedly: "Bah, who told you to like it?" You're going to compare it to Dongpo meat.."

Le Shui said excitedly: "Yes, I am also better than one." "I compared and compared with Yang Bo and Xiang'er one after another.

Shen Yiming looked at the excitement here, his mouth was uh-uh, his hand was not idle, he compared his heart with the black spot, Yang Bo immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Yiming, you are awesome." ”

The corners of Shen Yiming's mouth hooked up a smile, and he also did the same, giving a thumbs up, but he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Yang Bo's eyes couldn't help but light up, making it seem difficult for Shen Yiming to speak, but he could use gestures, that is, dumb language, Yang Bo had been a caring volunteer in his previous life and had learned a little dumb language. I can try it in the future.

At this moment, Leshui and Xiang'er both took a fancy to the concentric knot, Leshui chose the amber color, Xiang'er liked the red, very cheap, only a dozen children, this time Leshui did not hesitate, bought two at once, and put it into the sleeve tube with a cautious face.

The group finally came to Huaixiang Pavilion, Yang Bo looked up at the plaque, the dark bottom, the gilded words, the Yan Ti Kaishu was very full and powerful, and a group of people walked in.

The surname of the shopkeeper of Huaixiang Pavilion is Zhou, the shopkeeper of Zhou got the report, and when he saw a few people in front of him, he was a little puzzled, these people are not like those who came to rent a store, and the one holding a puppy on the side is not the second fool of the Shen family, the little master Shen Yiming?

Shopkeeper Zhou was stunned, arched his hand at Shen Yiming, and said, "Little master, what kind of wind blew you here, please inside." ”

Shen Yiming turned a blind eye and teased himself with the black spots, Shopkeeper Zhou suddenly looked embarrassed, but he heard Yang Bo say: "Shopkeeper Zhou, the kid is Yang Bo of Shimiao, I want to rent your shop, let's talk?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhou has never seen Yang Bo, but he has also heard about Yang Bo's deeds, many people in Shenjiabao say that he is Nezha Tuosheng, stepping on Hot Wheels, and spitting three flavors of real fire, but seeing that this young man's character and appearance are one and the same, but if it is said that it is Nezha Tuosheng, Shopkeeper Zhou originally did not believe it.

Shopkeeper Zhou also looked Yang Bo up and down, and shook his head secretly, this is obviously an ordinary man, it can be seen that the rumors are really absurd.

Shopkeeper Zhou, in his forties, is also old and sophisticated, seeing that the young master of the Shen family is following Yang Bo in the same way, he did not dare to slack off, so he specially led Yang Bo to look around in the store, and picked a table by the window, arranged for Yang Bo and them to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea.

Yang Bo didn't talk nonsense, directly explained his intentions, and asked Shopkeeper Zhou what is the transfer method of this Huaixiang Pavilion?

Zhou Dacheng was skeptical, but seeing that Yang Bo was serious, and it didn't look like he was here to smash the field, he said cautiously: "Young Master Yang, Erli Lane is the old rule, rent from the whole year, pay three mortgages and one, and the monthly rent is thirty taels." ”

Yang Bogang also looked at the situation of Huaixiang Pavilion, most of the area of half an acre of land, there is a backyard, and there is even vacant land planted with coriander in the backyard, the rent of thirty taels is not expensive, but Daming already has the rule of paying three charges and one?

In this case, Yang Bo's shop has not yet opened, so he has to take out one hundred and twenty taels first, and the silver in Yang Bo's hand is not enough.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, can you be flexible and pay a month's rent first?"

"The little brother laughed, these two miles of alleys are the property of the Shen family, and the rules are not set by me, I only

It's just a sublease. ”

Yang Bo was surprised, and then thought again, this Shen Family Fort is the Shen family's fort, Erli Lane is a prosperous place, every inch of land is gold, if there is no shadow of the Shen family, it is not normal.

"In this way, this Huaixiang Pavilion has nothing to do with me, and I really don't have that much silver on hand." Yang Bo was quite disappointed, seeing that Shopkeeper Zhou was just drinking tea with his head bored, and did not speak, he asked casually: "Shopkeeper Zhou, is the business here okay?" ”

"Business, my Huaixiang Pavilion has only been open for two months, whether it is good or bad, it's hard to say." Shopkeeper Zhou lowered his eyebrows and said.

"It's only been open for two months? Could it be that something has changed? Yang Bo was surprised.
