Only Father Zhong sat alone in the hall, still looking like he was in the clouds, so he was calculated by Zhong Ling.

There is a shop on the street, it was originally selling rouge, recently the proprietress was pregnant, and after many years of asking for a child, she finally got what she wanted, the boss was happy, and she was going to sell the shop, and took her daughter-in-law back to the countryside to have a baby, and the money she earned from selling rouge over the years was enough for them to support their families.

Coincidentally, this shop is facing Shijia Salt Shop, which is really beautiful.

It's just that the money for buying and selling the shop costs three hundred taels of silver, Zhong Ling took a fancy to the market entrance of the shop, and pulled Shen Yichi to bargain.

The boss was very attentive and greeted Zhong Lingdao: "Do you want to buy rouge or gouache?" Our stuff is the best in the whole desert! ”

Zhong Ling hooked his lips and smiled: "I heard that you have been selling shops recently?" ”

The boss's eyes lit up: "What? Girl, are you going to buy my shop? ”

"Then it depends on the boss, how much you bid." Zhong Ling picked up a rouge box, the aroma was a little cheesy, she didn't like these things, but she could buy them back and give them to Shule.

The boss rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Are you two outsiders?" My shop is very good, do you see the other side? That's the famous Shijia salt shop, doing business here, don't worry about no customers! ”

"In that case, how much are you going to ask?" Zhong Ling narrowed his eyes at him.

The boss stretched out five fingers inscrutablely: "Below this number, I will lose money!" ”

"Fifty taels?" Zhong Ling raised an eyebrow.

"If you joke with me, it will cost at least five hundred taels of silver!"

Zhong Ling gasped, good guy, it will cost half of his net worth at once.

"But isn't it written on your notice that there are three hundred taels of silver? How did it become five hundred taels again? Zhong Ling couldn't help frowning.

The boss's face froze, and he said quickly: "I have to blame my mother-in-law for this matter, she is eager to sell the shop immediately when she returns home, but if it is only sold for three hundred taels, then we will have to live this day?" ”

"In that case, let's consider it!" Zhong Ling was a little resigned, if you want to talk about shops, how much? Why smash half of your wealth here?

With Shen Yichi's glance, Zhong Ling turned around and left, and the boss was in a hurry and chased out.

"Four hundred taels is fine, look at my shop, it's big and bright, it's absolutely accounting!"

Zhong Ling turned to look at him: "Shopkeeper, sometimes you still have to listen to your daughter-in-law!" ”

After that, he pulled Shen Yichi and walked out.

The boss stopped in the hall, faintly annoyed, and a woman came out of the room, with a big waist and a round waist, grabbed the boss's ear and scolded: "You kill a thousand knives, say three hundred taels, but you want to temporarily increase the price, people are willing to buy it!" ”

"Oh, auntie, you are lighter!" The boss hugged his head and begged for mercy.

His mother-in-law, who was so easy to coax, was relieved, and hurriedly pulled her to sit down on the recliner, beat her legs diligently, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, those two are outsiders."

, Tell me, who outside doesn't know Shi Jingtian's reputation? Our shop is open opposite him, and the two young people who will be able to bluff will be able to pay out of their pockets, you wait, they will come back tomorrow! ”

Outside the shop, there is a small stall selling maltose, the stall owner is an elderly woman, Zhong Ling was inspired and pulled Shen Yichi to the stall.

There are a lot of lively sugar people in front of the stall, the little golden pig is cute and cute, Zhong Ling likes it tightly, and points to the sugar man and says to the old woman: "This golden pig, you can also make one for me!" ”

The old woman nodded and began to do it, and after a while, the golden pig was ready and handed to her.

The freshly blown out is not yet finalized, and it looks slightly inferior.

Shen Yichi paid the money, and Zhong Ling pretended to be unintentional and said, "Old woman, do you know how the business of the rouge shop is in the back?" ”

The old woman looked at her vigilantly, and Zhong Ling hurriedly explained: "I took refuge with my husband here, there is no one in his house, and there is not much money left in his hand, so he wants to make a living in a shop, but the price of this shop is too expensive, although the market is good, but we are shy and tight, alas! ”

When the old woman heard this, she became less vigilant, raised her eyes to look at them, and said with a smile: "The old woman will look at some faces, and the two of you will be able to grow old together in the future, and you will love and love!" ”

Zhong Lingdeng's face blushed when he came, and the old woman laughed when she saw this, and said, "There is no one on the left and right now, the old woman will be a sugar man for you!" ”

After that, he really started to do it, and said while doing it: "If you talk about shops, there are still a lot of them in the desert, you go and see more, the market entrance of this rouge shop is really not good!" ”

"Why? Isn't the other side the Shijia salt shop? Zhong Ling was quite puzzled.

The old woman shook her head lightly: "You just came, you don't know, that stone is really a profiteer, why do you think that couple is not doing a good business and want to go back to the countryside?" It was because of that stone that it shook the sky! ”

"Oh? And the reason for this? Shen Yichi couldn't help frowning, he only said that the business would be good because of the salt shop, but he didn't want to, it was actually worse?

"But no, that Shi Jingtian only came to Modu in the first place, but he was a nobody, it is true that he is rich, but few can afford him, relying on a woman's fortune, what ability does he have? But heaven is unfair, that year of drought, the county order for the people of Modu, the only daughter married this bastard, he can be good, when the drought year passed, the price of salt tripled, at that time the county order to find him, was also rejected by him, not long after, he was exiled, from then on, we dare to be angry with him, the salt of Modu is in his hands, except to buy in his hands, there is no other way, but from then on in front of his door, no one came, the rouge shop is open opposite, you say, what other business? ”

"What a profiteer!" Zhong Ling took a bite of the golden pig in his hand, scolding both the stone and the owner of the rouge shop.

The old woman is very quick with her hands and feet, and when she speaks, she has made a sugar man, and she is a pair of men who hug each other

Female, it is exactly what Zhong Ling and Shen Yichi look like, and they are full of eight points of resemblance.

"Thank you!" Zhong Ling took it in his hand and liked it tightly.

The old woman smiled: "It's just a gadget that can't be put on the table, as long as the girl likes it!" ”

Shen Yichi looked at the corners of Zhong Ling's raised mouth, couldn't help but hook his lips as well, took out ten taels of silver and handed them to the stall.

The old woman was terrified: "Where is this thing worth as much as ten taels of silver?" ”

"Naturally it's worth it, you have told us so much, but it has saved us a lot of money!" Shen Yichi smiled softly and walked forward with Zhong Ling in his arms.

Outside the Shijia shop.

A man who looked like a dog swaggered out, and the guards outside the door saw him and called out to the stone manager respectfully.

Zhong Ling recognized that the person was the thug who was beaten by her in Shifu that day and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

With anger on his face, the man waved his hand at the family and went straight to the outside of the house.

Zhong Ling raised his eyebrows: "Go, follow him!" ”

followed the man all the way to the outside of a restaurant, the shopkeeper nodded and led the person in, and the two were about to go in, but he stopped them.

"Dare to ask who the two are?"

The attitude and the appearance of Fang Cai nodding and hunching were almost like two people, Zhong Ling couldn't help but be angry, and secretly scolded the dog slave twice.

"What? If you want to eat here, you have to look at your face? Shen Yichi said coldly.

The shopkeeper sneered twice: "We are all indifferent characters with heads and faces, I see that you two are dressed shabby, I'm afraid you can't afford to eat what we have here, or where to fight, where to go back!" ”

Zhong Ling couldn't bear it anymore, and rolled up his sleeves to show this dog's eyes a little color, but was stopped by Shen Yichi.

Shen Yichi unhurriedly took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and sneered: "These, are they enough?" ”

"Enough, enough!" The shopkeeper's face changed in an instant, and the appearance of nodding and bowing was even worse than Fang Cai.

Shen Yichi threw the silver on the ground and said mockingly: "I thought it would cost to come to you for dinner, but it was just this bit of silver!" ”

The shopkeeper bent down and picked up the silver, and slapped him twice in the face with a smile: "Look at my dog eyes, I really don't know Taishan!" ”

Sure enough, if you want to make a fortune, you have to rely on thick skin, and Zhong Ling is willing to bow down.

Walking into the restaurant, I saw the man sitting on the second floor, pouring himself a jar of wine, his face full of frustration.

Zhong Ling was looking at him, the man looked at this side unexpectedly, Zhong Ling panicked, and hurriedly lowered his head to dodge, but the person had seen her face.

There were a lot of people in the restaurant, Zhong Ling found the last empty table and sat down, and glanced at Shen Yichi.

Shen Yichi understood and stepped up to the second floor.

The man was immersed in drinking, and suddenly a person sat down in front of him, and raised his head with a look of displeasure.

The other party smiled and handed over a jar of wine, and said: "Now that business is good, there are no empty tables, I will see that Your Excellency is alone."

It is better for a person to dare to invite your Excellency to drink than for you to drink alone! ”

The man waved his hand indiscriminately and took the wine in Shen Yichi's hand.

Shen Yichi arched his hand and smiled: "In Xia Shen Qiu, I don't know your Excellency's name?" ”

"Shi Dali!"

"It's ...... Good name......"

Shi Dali glanced at him: "Look at your appearance, from the field?" ”

"Exactly, in the next hometown every year of war, there is no way to live, I heard that Modu is a good place, so I came here, I don't hide it, Your Excellency is the first friend I made here!"

Shi Dali came to his senses, staggered to Shen Yichi with the wine jar and sat down, patted him on the shoulder, and said affectionately: "It's easy to say, if you encounter something in Modu in the future, just report my brother's name, no matter what, I can settle it for you!" ”

"Then thank you Brother Mighty!"

Shen Yichi called the shopkeeper and asked for two jars of wine, Shi Dali saw that he was so generous, and a few glasses of wine went down, so he and Shen Yichi put their hearts in their hearts.

"Brother Shen Qiu, I really hate to see you too late!"

Shen Yichi saw that he was slightly drunk, and asked with a smile: "I just saw that you were full of frustration, but what was not satisfactory?" ”

"Don't mention it, it's not my master!"

"Your lord?"

Shi Dali looked around, lowered his voice and said, "I told you that you don't have to reveal it to outsiders!" ”
