Chapter 76: The Last Money Cow

"She dares!" Father Sang's neck stiffened, and he noticed that his voice was a little louder, and some tea guests looked at him, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "Xiaolangzhong's cowering cowardice, be our son-in-law, it's strange not to be laughed at by others!" ”

Sang Mu sneered again: "Whether you are worthy or not is secondary, that is, their family is so poor that they can't afford the bride price!" The three girls and the two sisters got married, and we received two bride prices, and we also lost this to open this tea shop. The three girls are the last cash cow, so you have to change the restaurant! ”

Daddy Sang glanced at the backyard with a shy, and said with a smile: "Didn't the shopkeeper Zhu of Jinyu Restaurant mention it, he has the heart to accept three girls to be small." It's just that this guy is also a door-picker, and he is only willing to pay fifty taels of silver, and he refuses to give one more! ”

"If you don't have any money, let him get out of the way and cool off!" Sang Mu snorted and said, "If you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle!" Regardless of whether he is a pig shopkeeper or a cow shopkeeper, fifty taels of silver is like riding a new and tender yellow flower girl on his body, I bah! The spring building is broken at more than this price, right? ”

"That's, that's!" Daddy Sang laughed.

"I got this money, the shopkeeper of Mi Xing came to drink tea last time, and he said that he could lend him the extra money, five cents of interest!"

"Five cents? Good boy! Daddy Sang's saliva was about to flow down, so he smacked his mouth and said, "Is it safe?" ”

"Isn't it safe? The rice shop opened by the shopkeeper Qu is a decades-old brand and has been passed down from ancestors! With a few rice lines from his family as security, what are you afraid of? Besides, people have a lot of money, but now they are looking at the famine everywhere, so they are doing rice and grain business everywhere. This business has become bigger, and this capital can't be turnover, so he let out the words to let the interest loan, and after lending to him, he can ask for repayment at any time, according to the interest, and he must return at any time, even if it is a loan on the same day, you regret it again, and go back immediately, he doesn't say a word, he doesn't even ask, and pays you back immediately. Hehe, it's just that if you want to lend him money in the future, he won't want it. ”

"Hehe, this shopkeeper is quite temperamental."

"That is, people do big things, how can it be like you, it's not good to make a small tea shop!"

"Hehe, are there many people who lend money?"

"Of course, I inquired, the old Wang shopkeeper of the Wenfang shop on the front street, the Hong shopkeeper of the jade shop, and the Li shopkeeper of the fur shop, started to lend him money two years ago, and the dividends were already distributed a year ago, and they were doubled!"

"yes? Why didn't you say such a good thing earlier? ”

"Earlier? It's a fart! Sang Mu pursed her lips and sneered, "If you don't accept a small amount of money, at least one hundred taels or more!" One hundred taels. Can you take it? ”

Father Sang sneered, "So much." ”

"That's, I'm counting on the three girls to get the dowry money, get the money and lend it to him, five cents, hehe, at the end of the year, one hundred taels will become two hundred taels, and in two years, two hundred taels will become four hundred taels! Three years later, four hundred taels will become eight hundred taels, think about it, the eight hundred taels of silver in Baihuahua are in our hands, what kind of tea shop do we open, and it is enough to eat for a lifetime while sitting and eating! Hey, hey, hey."

Daddy Sang's eyes were red, his whole body was boiling, and he swallowed hard: "This is too dry!" ”

"Of course! When did the old lady miss the things she saw? Hehe, right now, no one is willing to pay a hundred taels of dowry! ”

"Then ......, if it's fifty taels, it's fifty taels, won't you earn a hundred taels in a year?"

Sang Mu's eyes widened, and her finger pointed at Father Sang's head: "Are you poor and crazy?" A year later, who knows if the shopkeeper will not collect the loan? In case someone's business grows bigger and the capital is turned over, will they let you eat five cents of profit? Do people have a lot of money and have nowhere to spend it? ”

"Hehe, that's right, it's still the lady who is thoughtful."

"That is, you can listen well, we are the last cash cow of the third girl, the big girl is out of the cabinet, you will give sixty taels to others, and the second girl is even more loss, so I received fifty taels. There is no money left over after opening this tea shop. I can say these three girls, I won't do it if there are less than a hundred taels! I'm still counting on this money for retirement! ”

"Yes, yes, I won't do it if it's less than a hundred taels. Hey. ”

"That's good!"

After a while, Sang Mu looked upstairs, saw that Zuo Shaoyang had not come down yet, and felt a little frizzy in her heart, so she came to the counter, looked upstairs, and whispered to Sang Daddy: "There will be nothing wrong, right?" ”

"What could happen! Isn't the daughter-in-law also on top, what can she do! ”

"You dead man!" Sang Mu snapped and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, "You are a caring daughter-in-law of that baby?" I peeked at her and Xiao Langzhong talking softly, what if she helped the three girls to have an affair with Xiao Langzhong? Or do you not abide by the woman's way, and you are not clear with that little man? How do you know that she took Xiao Langzhong upstairs to see a doctor for the third girl? Won't bring it to your room? Hum! I'm telling you, if it's self-defeating and which of the two of them has a big belly, I'll see how you clean it up! ”

"No, it won't!" Father Sang came out of the counter in a sneer, "How can this blue sky be white, how can you do such a thing?" ”

"Whew! Don't you dare? You didn't just press me to the board of the boat for nothing......"

"Alright, alright!" Father Sang blushed and waved his hands around, and said, "You mother-in-law doesn't talk nonsense without looking at a place." ――What do you say? ”

The more Sang Mu thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, she bit her yellow teeth and snorted: "I'll go listen to the root of the wall!" Sang Mu put the copper kettle on the counter, carried the skirt, and tiptoed upstairs.

――――――――――――――――

Zuo Shaoyang followed the young woman up to the second floor, walked through the corridor on the side of the street, and came to the innermost room. The young woman pushed the door in and said, "Little sister, I invited Xiao Langzhong to see you sick." ”

Zuo Shaoyang looked in and saw that this room was not big, and there was an old dresser by the door, and a round bronze mirror in it. There were three windows open in the house near the river, all of which were closed at the moment. To the left of the window is a chair, and next to it is a bookshelf, stacked with a number of wire-bound bookcases. In the corner of the wall is a vase with a few plums in it. To the right of the window is a wooden bed, supported by four bamboo poles on all four feet, carrying a cage of tulle tents, the curtains open to the left and right, hanging on two crescent-shaped hooks.

There was a girl lying on the bed, it was Sang Xiaomei. A silk quilt was tucked up to her chin, tightly hidden on both sides, and a pomegranate-red skirt was added to the quilt, her hair was scattered, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and there were tears, and when she saw them coming in, she hurriedly twisted her head to the side. Cheeks flushed. There was a low table next to the bed, with a bowl of gruel and a soup spoon on it, but I didn't see any heat, and it was probably cold.

Zuo Shaoyang saw that Sang Xiaomei this time was different from before, remembering what his sister Fennel said, and now knowing that there was also Wang Po helping to talk about the matchmaker, he couldn't help but blush and heartbeat, peeking at Sang Xiaomei, seeing that she had obviously cried secretly, her eyes were swollen from crying, and she couldn't help but feel some pity in her heart.

The young woman smiled and said to Sang Xiaomei: "This Zuo Langzhong is really righteous enough, I just told him that you want to wait for him to get sick, he immediately came with a medicine box and a bell, but his courage is a little worse, just standing outside the door and swaying is not afraid to come in, I looked at him at the staircase and wanted to go, was about to call him, but the old shopkeeper of Hengchang Medicine Store called him to the backyard, I wanted to hear what they said, so I hid behind the door to listen, that Zhu old man let him help see the disease, and deliberately made it difficult for him, not to say that he was uncomfortable, as long as he saw what the disease was. Listening to what people said was right, not only did he not thank him, but he also laughed with the dead fat man Zhu shopkeeper in Jinyu Restaurant, saying that he only recognized Huimintang's prescription, and only recognized their Hengchang's medicine, as if other people's medicine was going to die, I heard it with a stomach, Xiao Langzhong shook him twice and turned his face and left, when he was really a backbone, I called him up to you. ”

Only then did Zuo Shaoyang know that the fat tea guest who had just spoken to himself was a shopkeeper named "Jinyu Restaurant", surnamed Zhu. couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and asked: "It seems that these two shopkeepers are people with status, why did they come to your small tea shop to drink tea?" ”

When he said this, he felt that there was some damage to the meaning of the Sang family, and he was about to explain, but Sang Xiaomei didn't care, and said in a weak voice: "They had some pretentious friendship with my father in the early years, so they often come to sit." - Sister-in-law, take a stool and let Xiao Langzhong sit. ”

The young woman hurriedly took a round stool from the corner of the room and put it beside the bed: "Sit down, Xiaolang!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang went to the boudoir of the ancient girl for the first time, and was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly took the stool and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister-in-law!" ”

The young woman covered her mouth and laughed: "Hehe, little sister, listen, what does he call me?" - Sister-in-law! Hee-hee-hee-hee......"
