Chapter Twenty-Four: A Profitable Business

"Ah, yes, it's not local, hey." Bai Susu touched his nose awkwardly, poured another sip of tea, and observed Ji Shuxuan's expression.

"Ah, it's not too early, I have to go through the matter of the store first, thank you to Mr. Ji for today's matter, as for the matter of the wooden hairpin, it will be wrapped up in me."

Bai Susu said and stood up. Ji Shuxuan smiled calmly and said slowly: "Don't worry, if you really can't find it, you don't have to bother, but your two children can consider sending them to the academy to study as soon as possible." ”

"Okay."

Ji Shuxuan personally sent Bai Susu to the door, Bai Susu held the burden in his arms, and hurriedly deposited the money in Yinzhuang first.

I went to Yinzhuang, at this time, it was already a lot darker, and the shops in the town had been closed, so I could only wait for tomorrow when I went to the street to ask about the shop, Bai Susu thought, and walked home quickly.

It's dark, and this place can't be seen very clearly, Bai Susu is more or less scared in her heart, plus the surroundings are quiet, walking on the deserted road, she always feels a little strange in her heart.

"Girl!"

Suddenly, a crisp voice called out to Bai Susu.

Bai Susu stopped and slowed down, only to see a woman wearing a jacket and skirt of emerald colored cloth stepped forward, this woman's face was a little familiar, Bai Susu suddenly thought of the face he saw in the field that day, isn't it auspicious?

"Ah, you!"

Bai Susu wanted to call out, but suddenly it seemed to be a short circuit, Jixiang smiled and said: "Hey, I just came back from the town, I didn't expect it to be dark this day, I'm most afraid of the dark alone, why don't we go back together." ”

"Do you recognize me?" Bai Susu couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

Ji Xiang nodded and said, "Naturally, Xianglian." When we were kids, the two of us played together, and you forgot? Bai Susu frowned, she didn't remember these fragmentary memories.

Before the words were finished, Ji Xiang grabbed her arm affectionately and said, "It's getting dark, maybe there will be something on the road, let's go back together, you pass through my house first, and then you go back?" Before Bai Susu could refuse, she had already walked forward with her arm.

Along the way, the two were speechless, Bai Susu smelled the fat powder on her body very strongly, and it was mixed with some wine, Jixiang came back so late, what did he do?

And listening to what she just said, the two of them played together when they were children, Bai Susu was a little puzzled, this auspicious was married from an outside village, how could the two of them play together when they were young? Obviously he was lying to her.

"Ahem, auspicious, why did you come back so late?" Bai Susu is not a gossip person, but the two of them held their arms so intimately along the way, and they didn't say a word, they were really a little embarrassed, and she felt embarrassed to death.

Ji Xiang smiled and said: "It's nothing, I opened a rouge shop in the town in the past two days, by the way, if you want to buy rouge in the future, go to my shop to take a look, although it is not big, there are rare goods from Jiangnan." ”

Bai Susu didn't know that Jixiang had opened a rouge shop in the town, and it seemed that this little day was a good one.

Because it was too dark, Bai Susu naturally didn't notice that she was wearing the wooden hairpin on her head, and after breaking up with Jixiang, Bai Susu rushed back all the way.

As soon as she got home, she saw Bai Laohan waiting for her in the yard, Bai Susu stepped forward and said softly: "Dad, why haven't you rested so late?" What about Brother Dong and Sister Qiu? ”

Bai Laohan walked back side by side with her, and said in a low voice: "The two of them have already fallen asleep, I see that you haven't come back so late, don't worry, I originally wanted to pick you up at the entrance of the village." ”

"What's not to worry about, by the way, Dad, accompany me to see the shop tomorrow, you old people know the problems best, and when the time comes, you can help me make a bargain."

"Do you have the money to buy a shop?"

"Naturally."

"Is it really that profitable to buy that cake?"

"Well, sort of, because the business is relatively good, and the old customers are constantly bringing new customers."

Bai Susu was a little weak-hearted, if he told Bai Laohan to go to the gambling house, it would not scare him out.

As soon as the picture turned, Jixiang sat in the room, rolled up his sleeves, and looked at the shocking scars on his arms. These were all beaten by drunken guests, and she went to the prostitution parlors above the town to pick up customers whenever she was free, which was unknown to the people in the village, and if they knew, they would have kicked herself out of the village.

But seeing that she has already set up a rouge shop, she will be able to leave this ghost place in two years!

Jixiang secretly gritted his teeth and put down his sleeves.

Early the next morning, Bai Susu and Bai Laohan drove the ox cart to the town.

Looking left and right, he still didn't find his favorite shop, Bai Susu couldn't help but wonder a little.

When he walked near a noodle restaurant, he saw that things were constantly being carried out inside, Bai Susu's eyes lit up, he looked at Bai Laohan, and said with a radiant expression: "Dad, let's go in and have a look, maybe this is going to move away." ”

"Okay."

The two walked in, and when the shopkeeper saw the father and daughter, he stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, do you two want to eat noodles?" Bai Susu shook his head and smiled: "No, I see that you seem to be moving out here, is the shop going to be rented out?" ”

"The girl's eyes are really sharp, we will issue a notice in two days, does the girl intend to buy this shop?"

The shopkeeper circled in front of Bai Susu, seeing that the father and daughter have never been rich, but the younger one is still a little literate.

Maybe this woman will be his future boss.

"Of course, can you ask your shopkeeper to come out and discuss?"

"Okay, girl, please upstairs."

Bai Susu and Bai Laohan looked at each other, and the two of them went to the box, Xiao Er withdrew with a plate of pastries, and the white old man's eyes lit up when he looked at the pastries, so he took one and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it quickly.

At this time, a fat, slightly short middle-aged man came out of the door, looking shrewd, should be the shopkeeper here, Bai Susu stood up and smiled politely at him, the two sat opposite each other, Bai Laohan helped his chest and swallowed the pastry.

"I heard Xiao Er say, the girl is that you intend to take over this noodle shop, do you know that this noodle restaurant is a century-old brand, if I post this notice, I don't know how many people want to come to take over."

Bai Susu understood when she heard this, what he meant by this sentence was that the price was very expensive, and she might not be able to afford it.
