To Kou Ji's surprise, the gold, silver and bronze wares that Lu Ming collected, although the quantity was not large, looked very valuable.

This thing can't be considered a rag, right?

Lu Ming said aggrievedly: "It's all a ...... death"

Kou Ji suddenly realized.

The things that die also make money, but they are far less profitable than the things that live to make money.

These things are equivalent to the pawnshop spent eighty percent of the money and bought them back.

It seems that there are two percent of the benefits, but most of these things are current things, and they are not antiquities, and the pawnshop wants to sell it, it has to be renovated, there will be loss in the middle, plus the cost of the shop, etc., carefully calculated, only one percent can be earned.

"Just these things, they were taken by those green-skinned gangsters under Liu Ye."

When Lu Ming said this, he looked even more aggrieved.

Kou Ji smiled and comforted: "It's good to have something to earn, you can't be greedy." How did the Donglai pawnshop fall? It is to fall on greed. ”

Hearing this, Lu Ming nodded heavily.

Kou Ji said again: "I haven't seen Liu Heng looking for me recently, has he come here?" ”

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Liu Ye came once and said that you committed something in the palace, and he was implicated, and it is estimated that he will be grounded." He asks the villain to tell you not to worry about him, and that he will go to you after he lifts the lockdown in a few days. ”

Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully.

Just then, a shout rang out outside the door.

"Is it Brother Kou who has arrived?"

It was Zhang Cheng's voice.

Kou Ji hurriedly walked out of the warehouse and saw that Zhang Cheng had already arrived in front of the warehouse.

Zhang Cheng saw Kou Ji and said with a hearty smile: "I didn't see Lu Ming outside just now, and I didn't see his things on his table, so I guessed that you were here." It's only when you come that this little guy will close the stall so early. ”

Kou Ji arched his hand and smiled: "Brother Zhang Cheng is polite......"

Zhang Cheng said with emotion: "If you want to give a gift, I will give you a gift." If it weren't for your help, my brother wouldn't have been able to have a shop on this Zhouqiao Street. Now the one-day income of the shop is almost catching up with the income of the previous four days. ”

Kou Ji waved his hand and smiled: "I didn't give you the shop for nothing, you have to give money." ”

Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly and didn't say anything more.

What Koji said before, he believed.

But he now knows that the two-acre shop on Zhouqiao Street is far more than the price Kou Ji quoted to him before.

Of course, the gap in the middle is not very large, otherwise Zhang Cheng will insist on leaving.

"Go to eat at home......"

Zhang Cheng opened his mouth to invite.

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "Find a place to talk first......

Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Then go home, I'll let your sister-in-law warm a pot of wine, cut a few catties of cooked meat, and let's talk while eating?" ”

Kou Ji smiled: "No need, let's just be here, find a place to sit, sit down and talk." ”

Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Good ......"

Kou Ji summoned Lu Ming, and Lu Ming took the key and opened the door of Kou Ji's bedroom.

Kou Ji asked Zhang Cheng to come in and sit down.

After sitting down, Kou Ji said with a smile: "I came here today to ask Brother Zhang Cheng for help. ”

Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "If you have something, just say it, and I will definitely help." ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "I want to ask Brother Zhang Cheng to come over and help me take care of the shop." ”

Zhang Cheng was stunned and said with a dry smile: "Are you making fun of me?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said frankly: "Brother Zhang Cheng, I am now an official, and Liu Heng is destined to have an official body in the future." The things in the officialdom are enough for us to be busy, and how can we have the heart to do business.

But we want to live a comfortable life again, and that meager income is naturally not enough.

I don't want to take bribes and pervert the law to harm the people.

So this business still has to be done.

So I want to ask Brother Zhang Cheng to come over and help me. ”

Zhang Cheng hesitated.

Kou Ji continued: "In the Qinchuan cloth shop, there is a sister-in-law guarding it, and I believe there will be no problems. The two shops are so close that even if something happens, you can take care of it. ”

Zhang Cheng was stunned, pondered for a moment, and looked at Lu Ming.

"Let me take care of this shop, what about Lu Ming?"

Lu Ming looked at Kou Ji nervously.

He feared that Koji would give him away.

He doesn't care if he doesn't take care of things.

He also knew in his heart that he was too young to be in charge, and he couldn't suppress people or guests.

Kou Ji smiled: "He's still young, and he can't manage the shop." Even if I put him in charge, his future achievements are limited. In a few days, I will let Erbao come over, and then I will ask two gentlemen to teach them and Bao'er to read and write.

The deed of sale of Erbao and Lu Ming, I have already destroyed it.

I asked someone to get them a good book.

In the future, if they succeed in studying, it will be a good story to spread it.

If you can't study, come back and help me manage the shop, that's not bad.

A shopkeeper who has read books and is knowledgeable is much stronger than a shopkeeper who has not read books. ”

Lu Ming's hanging heart let go, and at the same time he was full of gratitude to Kou Ji.

When Zhang Cheng heard this, he stared at Kou Ji for a long time.

Kou Ji's approach surprised Zhang Cheng.

In these years, there are only a handful of people who are willing to give good to the servants and servants of the family.

There are even fewer people who are willing to sponsor the education of the servants and servants in the family.

"I promise to help you ......"

After a long time, Zhang Cheng agreed to Kou Ji.

Although Kou Ji's approach surprised him, it was very much in line with his heart.

Lu Ming, this kid, has been in contact with him for dozens of days, and he can see that Lu Ming is a good boy.

He also knew that Kou Ji tore up Lu Ming's deed of sale.

He also worried about Lu Ming for a long time, worried that Lu Ming would be arrested as a black household.

Now it seems that when Kou Ji tore up Lu Ming's deed of sale, he had already helped him think of a way back.

What's more, Kou Ji said that if he invited Mr. to come over, he would not only teach Erbao and Lu Ming to read, but also teach his family Bao'er, which Zhang Cheng had no way to refuse.

A few days ago, Zhang Cheng and his wife had a long chat about this matter.

They talked for a long time, but they didn't discuss whether they wanted their son to study in that private school.

There are no private schools in the inner city, only home schooling.

Famous and talented gentlemen are all in the mansions of various officials.

It is naturally impossible for Zhang Cheng to send his son to someone else's school.

There are a few nice gentlemen in the outer city, but the distance is too far, and the daily pick-up and drop-off is a hassle.

If their son is allowed to go to school alone, they are afraid that their son will be abducted by the flower child.

Seeing that their son had reached the age of Mengxue, they were also anxious.

Kou Ji invited Mr. to come to the door, which was regarded as helping them solve their big problems.

Zhang Cheng believes that as Kou Ji, the gentleman invited is definitely knowledgeable.

Seeing Zhang Cheng nodding, Kou Ji asked Lu Ming to hand over the key in the pawn shop to Zhang Cheng on the spot.

Zhang Cheng took the key and said to Kou Ji: "Since Brother Kou is going to open a pawn shop, I don't know if you have thought about the name of the pawn shop?" ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, pondered for a long time, and said: "Let's call it Vientiane Pawn Shop, take the meaning of all-encompassing......"
