Chapter 35 A Book of Profits
In the most prosperous streets of Qingcheng County, there is always the shadow of the Song family's shop.
On weekdays, all kinds of shops under the name of the Song family, such as pawnshops, oil shops, jewelry stores, restaurants, etc., are always crowded with people.
And today, it is the day when Mr. Song goes to the street, inspects the shops and collects rent.
Although there were not as many people on the street as usual due to the epidemic, as the patients were sent to Heihesu one by one, the people who went out have slowly returned to their former appearance.
It's just that the most headache is the rumors in the market, and the family's business has been more or less affected.
Fortunately, just some unreasonable people have come to make trouble a few times, and those few big customers who came to get the goods have not been affected, who called his goods of good quality.
Now, there are only a few oil shops left, and after seeing it, you can go back, I don't know if Miss Gu went to accompany Yaoyao today.
Ever since Yaoyao was scratched, she has been depressed all day long. And when the little Wang Bazi is gone, there will be no one to accompany his daughter.
He was afraid that his daughter would be bored, and he deliberately spent a lot of money to find Brother Jin, who was born in a poor family, to accompany his daughter, but his daughter seemed to just treat Brother Jin as an ordinary servant, and he was not very familiar with Brother Jin.
Now there is finally someone who can talk to Yaoyao, not only to fall in love with Yaoyao, but also to help him investigate the case, such a good thing, no matter how much money is given, it is not a loss.
The oil shop was not far from the corner, and Master Song asked the carriage to wait for him to come back in the same place, and he could take two steps to liven up his muscles and bones, and Wei Linghao and them happened to be waiting at the door of the oil shop.
Master Song recognized Chang Yu at a glance, and felt strange when he saw that he was not staying in his own mansion as he had imagined, but instead appeared here.
Before Master Song could speak first, Chang Yu took the first step to say hello.
"Master Song, it's past noon, have you ever had lunch?"
"You, why are you here if you don't go to my house today, Miss Gu?"
"Master Song, don't worry, Gu Chao has already gone to see Ling Qianjin, but there are some things, we want to come and learn about the situation with you."
"Oh? So who are these two....? Is he also a disciple of Kiyotarakau? Where have you gone? ”
"Oh, they're also here with me to solve this matter, well, it's a companion, my senior brother, he sent his friend's daughter ten miles of red makeup to get married, and he won't be back for a while."
"Gone? The leader is gone, can you juniors do it? I've paid a lot of money, but I can't waste it in vain, so don't just take the money and do nothing. ”
Chang Yu looked at Wei Linghao and Huaixu:
"Master Song, don't say that our Gu Chao has already chatted with Ling Qianjin very much, that is, you think we are young and can't trust us, but look at him."
As he spoke, he motioned to Master Song to look at Wei Linghao with his eyes:
"Look at his face, his ability is also similar to our senior brother."
Master Song glanced at Wei Linghao, and sure enough, this person was very popular, although his face was expressionless, he seemed to have a determination to win anything, and he seemed to be a master.
"Your Qingzun Pavilion is really full of talents!"
Chang Yue listened to it, and he didn't explain Master Song's misunderstanding.
"Would you like to talk to us?"
Master Song raised his eyes and looked at the few merchants waiting in the oil shop.
"I still have something to deal with, you can go to the private room in the backyard and sit down, and when I finish talking to a few merchants about business, I'll come to the backyard."
After saying that, he raised his feet and went to greet the merchants inside.
The three of them went around to the backyard and found a table to sit down. There was a little girl who looked like she was in her teens and came up to serve tea.
They are quite polite, looking at the girl in front of him who poured tea obediently and skillfully, Chang Yue thought to himself.
Look at this little girl, she is very cute, it is better to tease her.
"Little girl, will you pour tea for guests at such a young age? How old are you this year, but are you studying? ”
Wei Lingmao drank tea, thinking to himself why the people in this Qingzhu Pavilion were so noisy, and wherever they went, they couldn't stop talking.
Although the little girl is young, she has good rules. Steadily put down the tea utensils in his hand before he began to answer.
"Back to this distinguished guest, I am eleven this year, and I am the daughter of the shopkeeper of this oil shop, and I am now on spring break, so I am here to help."
Huaixu saw this little girl, and couldn't help but talk:
"Since I came to Qingcheng County, I have also found that the feng shui here is really nurturing, and the girls born are either beautiful or smart. It's many times stronger than the pretending delicate lady I saw in the capital. ”
After saying this, Wei Linghao's wrist holding the teacup froze slightly, Huaixu and Chang Yu both reacted at the same time, and Chang Yu asked:
"Are you not disciples who want to fall for the abbot? How can you live in the capital? ”
After hesitating, Wei Linghao spoke:
"I have already told Gu Chao, I just stayed on the mountain for a while, not a disciple of the abbot, Huaixu was later taken down the mountain by me, and from now on I will be in the capital with me, and your disciples of Qingzun Pavilion are not going to stay on the mountain for a lifetime, right? Do you have any questions? ”
It's fake to stay for a few years, but it's true to take yourself down the mountain. Childe's words are half-true and half-false, but what he said is straightforward and unreasonable, and he even asked back, worthy of being the prince of his family.
Chang Yu was choked for a moment, and of course he didn't answer the obviously unfriendly question, so he had to turn around and talk to the little girl to relieve the embarrassment.
"Your father should be discussing matters with your host Master Song now, you are so smart, why don't you tell us about Master Song? How can he have so many shops and be so rich? Supposedly, you are a child, you may not know this, and you should not come to ask you, and I don't know if you can answer or not. ”
A child is a child after all, and a small agitation method is enough for her to continue.
"Although I am a child, but there are only two people in my family, my brother and me, my father said, these are all for us to cook together in the future, I know, you don't look down on people!"
"Haha, oops, you're amazing, I don't even know this, tell me about it, right? Little Master? “
Chang Yu's plan succeeded, and his face showed a smile that amused his younger brothers and sisters on weekdays.
"Master Song can earn this family property, not only by his business acumen, my father said that when Master Song was young, he said when he first started working hard, he must become a rich businessman, but he will never be a profiteer, in the past, when Master Song was still in the rice business, he never used the famine year, or natural and man-made disasters to raise the price of rice, and now Master Song treats the shopkeepers of each shop as brothers."
Huaixu listened to it for a long time and didn't understand:
"But little sister, you still haven't said how Master Song became the richest man in Qingcheng."
Chang Yu and Wei Linghao were silent in their hearts, and only the little girl explained seriously
"Dad said that to learn to be a good businessman, you must first learn to be a person. Mr. Song's moral self-restraint and his understanding of various merchants when he did business were the most successful and profitable business that Mr. Song had ever done. ”
Hearing the little girl say this, Chang Yu's opinion of the stubborn old man of Master Song was reversed a little.
When the little girl saw that they were no longer talking, she remembered that they were just guests she had just knew, so why did she talk to them so much.
Daddy always taught himself how wrong he was, what if he said the wrong thing. When she was worried in her heart, Master Song and the shopkeeper all came in.
"Yue'er, what are you talking to the guests about? Did you take a good look at your homework today?"
As he spoke, he introduced them again:
"This is the little girl's leap month, you haven't been bored waiting, have you?"
The shopkeeper was smiling and polite, but Master Song on the side had a gloomy face and looked sad.
The shopkeeper asked Leap Moon to bring two chairs, and he and Master Song sat down at this table.
"What are you looking for me today? Say it quickly, it's really not that I mean to snub you, it's just that I still have something to do, after you finish speaking, I can order someone to send you to my house and have dinner there with Miss Gu. ”
Chang Yu wanted to ask, but Wei Lingmiao made a look, and after such a hesitation, Runyue, who had already gone out, came back, and looked very anxious.
"Dad, master, someone from the pawnshop said that Li Zhuyan took it to the pawnshop to make trouble, saying that her friend Miss Zhang's things were redeemed and exchanged for fakes after they were entered."
The leap shopkeeper frowned, but Master Song stood up angrily and slapped the table.
