When the blacksmith heard the intentions of several people, he suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that you are here to rent the house opposite. This yard is for the charcoal seller Lao Zhao, he is now in a big business, and he has a new yard, you can go to the charcoal shop on the front street to find him. ”

Zhang Shumo arched his hand to the blacksmith: "This big brother, we are new to the city, and we are not familiar with life, so we want to bother the big brother to take us over." You can rest assured, we can pay some of the remuneration. ”

The blacksmith turned to look at the half-beaten object on the stove, and said in embarrassment, "Ah, I'm beating people up here, and I can't walk away after half of it." Speaking of this, the blacksmith thought for a while and called into the house: "Huzi, Huzi come out quickly!" If you don't come out again, I'll tell your mother about you liking me! ”

After a while, the child just now reluctantly walked out and said to the blacksmith: "This little thing also tells my mother, are you my father!" ”

The blacksmith stepped forward and touched Wang Hu's head: "I'll scare and scare you, these guests want to find Lao Zhao, you take them to the charcoal shop on Front Street." ”

Wang Hu glanced at Zhang Shumo: "Don't go!" It's a good thing to ruin me and want me to help, no way! ”

Zhang Shumo smiled and said to Wang Hu: "We won't let you get it in vain, when you get to the place, I'll give you money!" ”

Wang Hu's eyes flashed, and then he turned his head: "Don't!" Who scarces your stinky money! ”

When the blacksmith heard this, he yelled at Wang Hu: "Wang Hu, how did your mother teach you hospitality!" If you ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Shumo stopped him: "Big brother, don't blame him, I was not kind just now." Speaking of this, Zhang Shumo came to Wang Hu's side and whispered to him, "Don't you want your father to give you a knife?" You can save money, when you have saved enough money, take the money to let your father fight the knife, and then you will be your father's patron, will he dare not fight? ”

Wang Hu's eyes lit up after hearing this, and after hesitating, he finally nodded: "Okay, let's go!" ”

Soon, Wang Hu brought a few people to the door of the "Zhao Ji Tan Shop", Zhang Shumo took out 10 yuan and handed it to Wang Hu, and Wang Hu ran away.

Before entering the store, a guy came out, Zhang Shumo and a few people explained their intentions, and the guy quickly called out the shopkeeper.

"How many of you want to rent my yard?" The shopkeeper said straight to the point.

Zhang Shumo nodded: "As long as the price is fair, we will rent it." ”

The shopkeeper nodded: "Okay, I'm going to attend a party later, and the time is relatively rushed, so I won't beat around the bush, 10 taels of silver a year, I have to pay a year's rent first, and you agree that we will sign a contract." ”

Zhang Shumo's money had almost been spent, so he had to look at Lou Zaiying.

Lou Zaiying thought for a moment and said: "Shopkeeper, we haven't seen your yard yet, and you will talk about money as soon as you come up, I'm afraid we can't be sure." Why don't we wait until we've seen the yard before we discuss it? ”

After listening to Lou Zaiying's words, the shopkeeper nodded: "Okay, in that case, let the guy take you to see the yard first, and let's sign the contract tomorrow." After saying that, the shopkeeper asked the man to get the key and take a few people to see the yard.

Several people were waiting for the guy, a carriage stopped at the door of the shop, and an old man got out of the car and walked into the shop.

When the shopkeeper saw the old man, he hurriedly greeted him: "Shopkeeper Lin, I've been waiting for a long time, you wait, I'll say a word to a few guests, let's go." ”

At this time, Zhang Shumo and his party looked at the door, and just took a look at the old man, and the old man couldn't help but call out when he saw Zhang Shumo: "Zhang Gongzi, why are you here?" ”

Zhang Shumo saw that the person who came was Yang Xue's grandfather Lin Hao, so he hurriedly arched his hand at him: "Hello Master Lin!" We came here to rent the courtyard of the shopkeeper Zhao, and we didn't expect to meet you here. ”

Lin Hao was stunned: "Renting? Could it be that Zhang Gongzi is coming to Xu Liangcheng to develop? ”

Zhang Shumo didn't want to explain too much, but said: "It's my wife who was transferred to Xu Liangcheng on an errand." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper on the side hurriedly asked, "Do you know each other?" Shopkeeper Lin, it's better to introduce it below. ”

Lin Hao laughed: "How can you not know!" Brother Zhao, this is the famous No. 1 talent in our Qinghua City, Zhang Shu Mozhang Gongzi! Speaking of this, Lin Hao said to Zhang Shumo again: "Master Zhang, this is our fellow villager in Qinghua City, Boss Zhao Genzhao. Boss Zhao's business is very big, and now the entire Xu Liangcheng relies on Boss Zhao's charcoal for the winter. ”

Zhao Gen didn't expect Zhang Shumo to have some background, since he is known as the first talent in Qinghua, he is also a dragon and phoenix among people, it is better to sell some benefits to him, and he may have a useful place in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gen said: "Zhang Gongzi don't listen to Shopkeeper Lin's jokes, since Zhang Gongzi is also a fellow villager in Qinghua City, then you can live in this courtyard first, and we will talk about the rent later." ”

"By the way, Master Zhang, Shopkeeper Zhao and I are going to see our fellow villagers in Qinghua City now, since you are also coming to Xu Liang to develop, why don't you go with us?" Lin Hao sent an invitation to Zhang Shumo.

Zhang Shumo was about to refuse, but Lou Zaiying preemptively said: "Since the two bosses invited, why don't you go together." We are new to the city, so we can get to know more of our fellow villagers and have a foil in the future. ”

Hearing Lou Zaiying's words, Zhang Shumo hesitated for a moment and said: "Although I have the heart to go, but now the matter of renting a hospital has not yet been settled, I'm afraid it will ......."

When Zhao Gen saw Lin Hao inviting Zhang Shumo, he knew that he had a heart to win him over, so he was even more determined to win over Zhang Shumo.

"It's simple, let my buddy take your lady to the yard to see, although my yard is old, but it's not bad, I believe your lady will like it." As for the price, we are all fellow villagers, and we will see the outside when we talk about money, and Zhang Gongzi will just look at it. Zhao Gen said with a smile.

Seeing that the other party said this, Zhang Shumo couldn't refuse anymore, so he agreed to the invitation and went to the hometown meeting with the two.

On the way, Zhang Shumo had a brief chat with the two. This fellow villager meeting was originally proposed by Lin Hao and presided over by Niu Heng, and this was the first time it was held, so it was arranged at Niu Heng's home. Although it is a fellow villagers' association, not everyone can participate, and the people invited this time are basically people who have a certain status in Xu Liangcheng.

When he arrived at Niu Mansion, Niu Qi was greeting the guests at the door, and when he saw Zhang Shumo, he couldn't help frowning: "Why are you here?" Could it be that Zhang Gongzi also came to Xu Liangcheng? ”

Zhang Shumo smiled at Niu Qi: "Exactly! I miss Brother Niu very much, so I chased Xu Liangcheng to find Brother Niu, thinking that it would be more interesting to have Brother Niu. ”

Niu Qi also laughed: "It's really interesting, Zhang Gongzi came to Xu Liangcheng, presumably the future days will become much more interesting." ”
