Unexpectedly, this fat man has a good taste, and he actually bought a Turkic beauty to enjoy, and he didn't expect that he would be so generous that he was willing to let himself have fun.

Hearing his "very righteous" invitation, Liu Yuan couldn't help but think of an exotic beauty with a convex front and a concave back, and his little heart couldn't help but "flutter" and "flutter" a few times, but after thinking about it, he still shook his head and refused:

"Forget it, a gentleman doesn't take people's favor, you can enjoy it slowly."

Jokes, there is a little lady in my family, there is a Du Sanniang in the Slender West Lake, which is not a first-class beauty of the national color Tianxiang, such a beauty Liu Yuan does not "eat", or goes to "gnaw" the "second-hand goods" that Zhang Fatzi has played, and he is not happy to find it, when he thinks that the beauty has let Zhang Fatzi's pile of fat meat weigh down, Liu Yuan has no idea.

Zhang Fatzi laughed a few times, welcomed Liu Yuan and the others into Jinyuzhai, served fragrant tea in the back hall, and then asked curiously: "Brother Liu, aren't you usually very busy?" It's still hard to talk to you, why do you have time to walk around my small shop today? ”

Liu Yuan put the invitation letter on the table: "Brother Zhang, have you received this too?" ”

Zhang Fatzi picked it up and looked at it, nodded and said, "Invitation letter?" Got it, what's wrong? ”

"Competition, what is the competition? I haven't been there before, it's a little strange, Brother Zhang, you are an old Xingzun, so come and ask for advice. Liu Yuan said with a smile.

Zhang Fatzi shook his head, sat down and said: "Don't say you're strange, even I'm strange, in the past few years, the association has made appointments with people, and everyone has come up with a proud work, and then commented and exchanged with each other, a group of harmony, but today the competition was suddenly held, which surprised me a little." ”

"Haven't you tried it before?"

"Tried." Zhang Fatzi nodded and said: "But very little, as the so-called flowers into their own eyes, some things, some people like, some people don't like, a competition, there is a difference between high and low, sometimes for a ranking and a big fight, not a few, Buddha fight for a furnace of incense, a fight for a breath, right, but I received a rumor, it is estimated that this competition is for you." ”

Liu Yuan said in surprise: "Targeting me? No way? ”

Zhang Fatzi said with a deep face: "What's so strange about that, recently your Jinyu family has been in the limelight, and you will let you take it all by yourself, you toss, in Yangzhou, your Jinyu family has become a top gold shop, like Yumanlou, Zhenzhong Pavilion, my Jinyuzhai, etc., let you step on it below, it is said that the shopkeeper of Yumanlou is very dissatisfied with you, I guess, this game is a conspiracy of theirs, ready to regain their customers or reputation, you be careful." ”

The market is so big, some people occupy a lot, and naturally some people occupy the season, which is reasonable, and the survival of the fittest in the market is this reason.

"What are you afraid of, the soldiers will block, the water will come to the soil, Brother Zhang, either I blow it, or the competition, I have enough confidence to defeat them." Liu Yuan said confidently.

"The open gun is easy to block, the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, I have heard of it, Yu Manlou invited a top master from the Jin Supreme in the capital to join, it is estimated that it is to deal with this competition, plus they almost control the jewelry association in Yangzhou, I have also seen the brother's craftsmanship, real knives and real guns, I Zhang dare to say that no one is your opponent, I am afraid that they will use yin."

Liu Yuan stretched his waist and said: "Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, let them toss, anyway, I also care about that bit of false fame." ”

From Cui Wang's ingenious "Pine Crane Longevity", the Jinyu family has a wonderful beginning, many dignitaries and nobles sent people to book, as long as Liu Yuan maintains the quality, the reputation is getting better and better, they are all high-end private customization, and now it is to make one, the profit is enough for ordinary gold shops to do for a year, and those honors for ordinary people to see, for Liu Yuan, are dispensable.

Knowing what it was like, Liu Yuan didn't take it to heart, anyway, there was still more than half a month to start, and after a few more greetings with Zhang Fatzi, Liu Yuan took Zhao An to say goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Zhang Fatzi repeatedly invited Liu Yuan to visit his house.

"This fat man, Ya's life is much more nourishing than mine." When Liu Yuan was about to return to the Jinyu family, he couldn't help but complain.

paid off the debts and revitalized the Jinyu family, the silver earned was like a pigcage in water, he ate well, dressed well, and bought a few slaves to wait, and became an uncle, Liu Yuan was originally quite satisfied, but today compared with the golden fat man of Jin Xiazhai, he immediately fell into a bad position.

Zhang Fatzi lives in a big house with a garden landscape by the Slender West Lake, and as soon as he goes home, he waits for his wife and concubine, and there are luxury carriages in and out, wearing top silk, drinking frozen top oolong, and he doesn't have to do anything when he goes back to the store, so he tunes with the beautiful maid in the back hall

play, everything is watched by someone in front of you, it is a fairy-like day; But as for Liu Yuan, there are a few slaves, but he still has to bother and work hard to train, as soon as he stops, the Jinyu family will be out of stock immediately, and he is often so busy that the sky is dark or something.

The difference is too great.

People are more angry than people.

Zhao An on the side seemed to know what Liu Yuan was thinking, and approached Liu Yuan and whispered: "Young master, the old slave has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"If there's anything you can't say, you can say it."

Zhao An whispered: "Young master, the Jinyu family is just an industry, it can't be like a substitute home, the backyard of this shop is also a little smaller, and now so many people live together, it seems a little crowded, not to mention anything else, it's just a thatched house, which is very inconvenient, and the young lady's age is also older, and the woman's family, crowded with so many men, there are indeed a lot of inconveniences, and after the young master gets married and gives birth to a child, it will be even more crowded." ”

"Now the business of the Jinyu family is very stable, and the money shopkeeper of the Tianfu Restaurant of this store has already sent someone to send it, so to speak, we don't have any worries, the young master is still looking for a good house to live in, just go back here to see if you have time, like the shopkeeper, buddy or something, we should add it, anyway, the money on the account is very abundant."

Zhao An's words suddenly talked about Liu Wan's heart, and he always felt that something was almost something recently, but now he understands: what he lacks is a house.

Himself, Xiaoniang, Zhao An, Ah Zhong, Ah Yi, Xiaoqing, Heiba, there are six people together, crowded together in the backyard of the Jinyu family, and this backyard has also divided a room for himself to make a studio, it is indeed quite crowded, Liu Yuan also tried to go to the toilet in a hurry, there were people inside, and they were so panicked that they wanted to beat people, a beautiful life, how could there not be a beautiful house of their own.

"Old Zhao, do you know the housing prices in Yangzhou?"

"Let's get a little bit of a look."

"Tell me."

"Yes, young master" Zhao An thought about it, and said what he knew: "The house on the outskirts of the city, thirty or fifty taels can buy a house with a small courtyard, as for the house in Yangzhou City, it is a bit expensive, even if it is outland, it costs seventy or eighty taels of silver, and the road section is good, hundreds or thousands of taels." ”

Yangzhou at that time, it was also a top big city, a house of seventy or eighty taels, a shrewd shop two, two taels of silver a month, twenty-four taels of silver a year, less frugality as long as about four years to buy, that is very cheap, in exchange for future generations, if ordinary people work, a year also bought a square meter.

Liu Yuan asked directly: "How much silver does the house on the edge of Slender West Lake cost?" ”

"Skinny West?" Zhao An was taken aback: "Young master, that is the most expensive in Yangzhou, and it costs thousands of taels or tens of thousands of taels of silver at every turn." ”

If you want to buy, you must buy a good one, and you are too lazy to move around, which is troublesome.

"How much silver do we have to touch now?" Liu Yuan usually spends the money when he asks for it, regardless of the account, Xiao Niang is in charge of the money and Zhao An is in charge of the accounts, which is equivalent to an accountant and a cashier, but Liu Yuan doesn't know how much money he has now.

"There are about five thousand eight hundred taels to use."

Zhao An is really an excellent housekeeper, and when he asks about the accounts, he answers them fluently.

Liu Yuan was taken aback: "Why are there so many?" ”

"Young master, that's the case, the business of the Jinyu family has always been good, with an income of no less than one thousand taels of silver per month, and the silver recovered by the young master to build Songhe for a long time, by the way, he also collected a lot of deposits in it."

Zhao An wanted to say, if you weren't too generous, spending money lavishly, it is estimated that there would be more silver, not to mention anything else, that is, in terms of eating, not saving at all, those slaves ate better than ordinary people in Yangzhou, especially when I thought of the black ba, who could eat two or three catties of meat in a meal, Zhao An, the old loyal slave, had a feeling of heartache.

These are all money, with Zhao An's idea, as long as he can't afford to starve them, the young master is already very merciful.

However, these words were just thinking about it, and they were not spoken.
