Chapter 20 Rent a shop
Chen Qing was a good listener. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoNo matter what Hu Zhou said was interesting or boring, he never interrupted. After that, it was always Hu Zhou who said that he was listening. Regarding Mi Xin back then, it seems that it was tacitly ignored by the two.
I couldn't tell whether it was Ping'an Hou or Zhu Qian, so I temporarily borrowed the small courtyard where Hu Zhou lived and ushered in half an acquaintance.
It's not Wang Yuyan, who has already looked at the thatched house, it's Liu Gan.
Liu Qian, who was standing beside Mu Qian, looked not calm enough, and could probably understand it as embarrassment.
Hu Zhou was as good as ever, "It's no problem to stay, how much effort you put in, how much you eat." ”
Mu Qian was a little stunned, ignoring Liu Gan, who was belching, and asked, "Is this appropriate?"
met Liu Gan who was found by following the mark on the street, and Mu Qian had some surprises for the rest of his life. Seeing that his state was not satisfactory, Mu Qian asked him about his situation after he came out. Liu Gan knew everything, but he just omitted the paragraph of stealing Hu Zhou's package, so naturally there was no note to explain.
Seeing that Mu Qian was in a depressed mood, Liu Qian asked about the situation of the others. Mu Qian told him that they were all dead and that he was rescued by Li Zhi. Now together with Hu Zhou and Li Zhi, he wants to find out the murderer and avenge the deceased. Liu Gan was shocked, and immediately said angrily, revenge is his one.
Mu Qian's original intention of bringing Liu Qian was not to let Hu Zhou keep him, but not to hide that he had been looking for Liu Gan. It's just that Liu Gan, who left alone, is still alive, including Mu Qian, and the other dead people are implicated in Hu Zhou's unjustified disaster, so the possibility is even greater.
If it is said that Mu Qian does not hate, or there is no resentment, it is naturally impossible. The man who used to lick blood from the knife edge can't afford to let go. What I really want to say is actually selling my life to you, but the transaction that wants you to help you get the treasure is a fair deal, and no one has the intention of taking advantage.
Mu Qian felt that it was inappropriate because Chen Qing in the underground was obviously a secret that could not be made public. There is an extra person in this house, how to explain it to the royal prince and nobles.
Liu Qian showed a moderate amount of surprise and puzzlement, but did not speak.
"How inappropriate can it be to have more pairs of chopsticks?" Hu Zhou said with a smile.
When he said this, Mu Qian said no more.
Unlike when he tried every means to stay with his group, Li Zhi didn't have much of a good face for Liu Gan to come back, and it was even worse than before. If the previous bitterness was a bit deliberate, in order to train these arrogant people in the rivers and lakes, then at this time, it is real to Liu Gan, who eats back grass, and his contempt is real.
Liu Gan, who is already a slave with two surnames as far as Li Zhi is concerned, has no such awareness, anyway, from beginning to end, he has never dealt with this old man, and he doesn't care at the moment.
From noon to lunch, Liu Gan has been working hard for Li Zhi's intentional trouble. During the meal, Hu Zhou suddenly opened his mouth and asked Mu Qian and Liu Gan, "Do you have any experience in business?" ”
Liu Gan, who came back from adding rice, shook his head directly, he used to think that it was unnecessary, it was better to drink wine and eat meat than to be rich, and it was true that he had improved one or two places on the martial arts evaluation list. I don't think about it at all.
Mu Qian put down his chopsticks and responded, "There are elders in the family who are engaged in business." The tone is by no means good, and it can be seen that the relationship with the so-called elders is actually average.
"It doesn't matter if there is one. It's not a legitimate business, and it's not what you think. It's a business that can pass the time. Hu Zhou said to Liu Gan, who was shining brightly.
"Why don't you open the academy?" Li Zhi proposed. In short, stepping on the big ship of Zhu Qian, Li Zhi has no opinion on what to do, and he is proficient in opening a academy.
At the end of the meal, I didn't decide what would happen after that, but the general direction of the shop was set. Li Zhi also went out for this purpose, looking for a shop to rent or sell.
As far as Hu Zhou is concerned, it is not difficult to simply find a profitable business, but as he said, just to pass the time for a boring living, there are more things to consider, such as interests.
Li Zhi found a shop with a suitable feng shui flow and land price, and the owner encountered some difficulties in business, and urgently needed money to turn the store. Only rent, not sell, probably thinking that it will be able to make a comeback in the future. But to collect three years of rent at a time, the conditions are a bit harsh, and it is so easy for Li Zhi to find it.
paid the deposit and agreed to sign the lease with Qi Yin, and the matter has become more than half.
The next day, Hu Zhou, including Mu Qian and Liu Gan, all followed behind Li Zhi and came to the shop at the east end of Xiaguang Long Street in Yunbian as promised. The long street is lined with shops and flows endlessly at noon, and it is the most lively street in the whole Yunbian. The purple gas comes from the east, and it is indeed in a good location. The rent was not outrageously high, Hu Zhou nodded, expressing satisfaction.
Hu Zhou expressed his attitude, and Li Zhi went to negotiate, and greeted the shopkeeper Su warmly, indicating that he came to sign the contract. It's just that seeing the embarrassed smile on Su Dongming's face, Hu Zhou and Mu Qian made eye contact in private, I'm afraid this appointment is not easy to sign.
Sure enough, Su Dongming twisted for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said to Li Zhi: "I won't rent this shop to you." Shopkeeper Su, who has been honest for most of his life, is not guaranteed at night, and his face is flushed.
Li Zhi was surprised, but he was still calm, and just asked: "Didn't you say that you were all right when you paid the deposit yesterday, and today you have prepared the silver taels and signed the lease." The rent of three thousand five hundred taels for three years has been brought, and the shopkeeper Su said that if he doesn't rent, he won't rent it, and his feelings are to make Li Laohan happy? The clay man still has a bit of a temper, and the more he talks about it, the more annoyed Li Zhi feels.
Su Dongming only sighed, his face flushed, and he couldn't say why.
Hu Zhou stood aside, feeling that with Su Dongming's temperament, it was more appropriate to study and do learning, and it was not suitable for deceit among businessmen. At least it can't be said to be a lie to the hearts of others. The shop with the right time and place has also been operated by the owner, which can also explain some problems to some extent. It was Hu Zhou who opened his mouth and asked, "Did Shopkeeper Su rent the shop to others?"
Su Dongming nodded helplessly.
"I don't ask which one is bidding more, or if the shopkeeper Su has other unspeakable secrets. It's just this deposit, can Shopkeeper Su refund me? Hu Zhou smiled.
"Retreat. Retreat, retreat! Little two! Hurry up, take the fixed money that this master paid yesterday! Su Dongming was grateful to Hu Zhou, turned around and shouted to the guy in the shop.
Xiao Er handed over the silver ticket, and Su Dongming handed it over to Hu Zhou. Hu Zhou swept his eyes, and there were four silver tickets of one hundred taels. It is three hundred taels more than the deposit of one hundred taels. If there are more, it will naturally be a fine for breach of contract. With these three hundred taels, Li Zhi's anger has also disappeared a lot.
Hu Zhou accepted it without being polite, and he probably deserved it. The second is to make the shopkeeper Su, who is a bit of a bookseller, feel more comfortable.
Seeing that Hu Zhou accepted the silver ticket, Su Dongming's face really looked a lot better. After saying some polite words that flowed green water for a long time, Hu Zhou and his entourage left the Su family's shop.
Li Zhi, who was bitten by a snake once, entrusted the matter of finding a shop to Yaxing. There are people who lead, look at the shop to negotiate the rent, and pay an extra 10% commission, which is indeed a lot of trouble.
It's just that in the end, the result is still the same, the shopkeeper surnamed Zhang gave three times more compensation, saying that the shop is no longer rented. Li Zhi, who was tossed out of anger, was almost about to make a move, and the shopkeeper Zhang burst into tears, so he sent Li Zhi and the two to kneel, but the shop was not rented. Leaving a stunned tooth and a thoughtful Li Zhi.
