Chapter 8 A Good Shopkeeper

The arrival of the Yuan Dynasty has brought a lot of changes to Zhuangzi, the original farming of less than three acres of land per household, now fifty households of cultivators have divided each household into sixteen acres of land for cultivation, and the remaining strong men of each household are also busy building docks, the young master said that he can get one or two silver a month, and there is endless work, and now the entire Zhuangzi Zhuangzi is running in an orderly manner according to the deployment of the Yuan Dynasty.

On the third day of coming to Zhuangzi, Yuan Chao decided to inspect the situation in the village with Yuan Xu again and then go to Zhoujiakou to have a look.

Most of the strong laborers in the village are now busy building houses and docks.

Yuan Chao and his entourage came to the project site of the wharf, a hot scene came to their faces, and in the north, where the weather had not completely turned hot, some strong laborers were already sweating. In the crowd, Yang Hao went into battle shirtless, his bronzed skin was particularly conspicuous, and he was now carrying a piece of wood that he had just bought, walking like a fly.

After seeing this hot construction scene, Yuan Chao was in a great mood, and he didn't disturb them to work, and he took Yuan Xu to the farmland to have a look.

"The Tian family has few idle months, and people are busy in May." It's a busy day in May, and the industrious farmers are busy irrigating their crops and preparing for the winter wheat harvest.

When he came to the field and saw the villagers dredging the wheat field ditch and preparing to irrigate the wheat field, Yuan Chao did not look at it this time, but tied the horse aside, walked into the wheat field, and helped dredge the wheat field ditch.

"Oh, young master's daughter's body, how can you do this rough work, doesn't this break me Zhou Luosheng." Zhou Luosheng, who was working, shouted in surprise when he saw his young master personally going to do farm work.

This week, Luo Sheng is a famous big voice in the whole Zhuangzi, once he fought with the people in the village, and roared in his voice, which almost deafened the other party's eardrums, not to mention, even an old lady who lived in the west of Zhuangzi was on crutches to see the excitement.

"With this voice, my Yuan Chao really picked the right person." Yuan Chao was secretly happy in his heart, and then dredged the canal with enthusiasm on his face.

Half of the people in the field came around, and many people opened their eyes, and for the first time, they saw that the young master himself went to work in the field, and they were all amazed.

Yuan Chao was a giant panda for a while, and after feeling that he had been watched by enough people, he straightened up, signaled to the crowd, and then brushed the dust away, hiding his merit and fame. rode his horse and galloped away with Yuan Xu.

"Hey, hey, it's really an eye-opener today, look at our young master, help us do farm work, who else have you seen young master do farm work?" Zhou Luosheng's thunderous sound buzzed, and the villagers who were close to him couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Yes, good young master." "This young master is really different, if you work with him, you will definitely be able to have a head." The villagers looked at the background of Yuan Chao's departure, and discussed in groups.

Yuan Chao left the farmland and went straight to Zhoujiakou, this time, one is to see the business of the Yuan family's shop, and the other is to take a good look at this prosperous Zhoujiakou.

Half an hour later, a prosperous port town appeared in front of Yuan Chao's eyes, ships on the river were waiting to dock, on the wharf, the crowd of people loading and unloading goods was busy, and all kinds of businesses in the town were shouting endlessly.

"This week's Jiakou, it's a bit interesting." Yuan Chao lightly clamped the horse's belly and drove the horse into Zhoujiakou.

When he arrived on the street, Yuan Chao went to find his family's grain store first according to the address Yuan Bao told him.

After a while, I found my own shop. The scale of the whole grain store is not small, because it is close to the wharf, people come and go, so it is not prosperous, a young man outside the door is there to welcome the send-off, and the business of the store seems to be quite good.

Yuan Chao nodded with satisfaction and prepared to enter the store to have a look.

"Hey, guest officer, are you here to buy food? Please inside, our store is fresh, the quality is good, the price is favorable, and the whole Zhoujiakou is famous, you can take a look. The clever young man was preparing to go over to help Yuan Chao and Yuan Xu lead the horses.

"Well, yes, go in and have a look." Yuan Chao nodded with satisfaction, this is a business, the reception at the door is a very important step, in the case that everything else is roughly the same, if you stand and ignore it, and the warm service in front of you, presumably more people are willing to choose the latter's shop.

Yuan Chao walked into the grain store, all kinds of grain were clearly divided according to the price, and the guys inside were also very enthusiastic and professional, which made Yuan Chao want to take out the silver to buy food.

"Well, is your shopkeeper there?" Yuan Chao asked a young man who was gushing endlessly in front of him, causing the young man to be stunned.

"This guest officer, if the little one has any offense, please forgive the little one, and the little one will not be compensated." The young man's face, which was still enthusiastic just now, suddenly burst into tears.

"No, young man, you are fine, there is no place to offend me." Yuan Chao was confused and hurriedly replied.

"Didn't the guest officer call our shopkeeper too small and take care of him?" The young man asked timidly.

"Of course not, I said, you're fine, I just want to talk to your shopkeeper about business." Yuan Chao understood the young man's mind and replied with a smile.

"Oh, that boy, wait a minute, my shopkeeper is now in the backyard talking about business with another old customer, please sit down for tea." When the young man heard that he was afraid that he was going to talk about big business, he hurriedly changed his name, led Yuan Chao to the side and sat down, and was busy making a pot of tea.

Half a cup of tea, Yuan Chao looked at the shop guys were very smart, and the recommended food was also very sophisticated, Yuan Chao was a little looking forward to this shopkeeper in his heart.

"What kind of score, what business is important to welcome the young master to inspect? Man, you immediately let your shopkeeper come out and greet the young master, do you know that the person who is sitting and waiting for you now is the young master of the Yuan family. Yuan Xuzha, who was already a little unable to hold his breath on the side, exhaled.

Young Master of the Yuan Family? The guys in the grain store have been here for so long, and they have a little bit of eyesight, looking at the two of them dressed up and temperamental, they are indeed not ordinary people, and who dares to pretend to be the son of Zhizhou in Chenzhou, there must be no fake, the guy who received Yuan Chao and the two just now hurriedly took everyone to salute, called the young master, and then did not wait for Yuan Chao to speak again, and immediately ran to the backyard to find the shopkeeper.

Yuan Chao didn't want to say anything more, but after a while, the guy moved back again, his face a little scared.

"What about the shopkeeper, why haven't you come out to see the young master?" Yuan Xu exhaled again.

"The shopkeeper said, and the shopkeeper said that he would come out after talking about it." The man's voice grew lower and lower, until at last it was inaudible.

"What? It's against him, young master, wait a minute, see if I pick him out for you. Yuan Xu said that he was about to rush in to get someone.

"Don't be rude." Yuan Chao raised his hand to stop Yuan Xu, and now Yuan Chao has even more expectations for this shopkeeper.
