Chapter 100: Turning Trash into Treasure

"Let's look elsewhere." Turning around, Liu Meiniang felt that her favorite location was still the location of Chunmanlou and Caiyi Pavilion.

The two storefronts occupy two of the best places on the main street of Qingshi County, right on the prime part of the street, and it is not for nothing that business is so good.

"Sister-in-law, why don't we take that tailor down." couldn't find the storefront, Zhang Jihan was also very anxious.

Liu Meiniang shook her head stubbornly, no matter whether her guess was right or not, she didn't plan to plate that tailor shop anyway.

The main thing is that the location of the tailor's shop is still unsatisfactory.

The two walked to the corner of the main street, and Liu Meiniang suddenly saw a clearing on the corner.

"What do you think of that place?" Liu Meiniang raised her chin and asked Zhang Jihan, Zhang Jihan followed Liu Meiniang's eyes, and looked at Liu Meiniang in disbelief, if nothing else, because the place Liu Meiniang said was a garbage settlement.

Qingshi County has a fixed garbage dumping site, and garbage is also burned here, but because there is no garbage that is difficult to decompose in ancient times, and it is impossible to pile up garbage like modern times, the garbage settlement area is very large, but there is no garbage.

"Sister-in-law, this is a pile of old things." Zhang Jihan reminded Liu Meiniang with a strange face.

"I know." Liu Meiniang smiled.

Zhang Jihan's brain is very flexible, but he just doesn't dare to think about it, his brain usually turns fast in many things, but he is easy to stick to the rules in some things.

"This place is big enough, as long as we take it down, it's enough for us to open a shop."

Liu Meiniang said.

"But ......" Zhang Jihan was still struggling with the fact that it was a garbage heap.

"Anyway, we can't afford the shop now." Liu Meiniang spread her hands.

Zhang Jihan thought about it, and it was true, anyway, he couldn't buy other shops.

"Let's go, let's go to the government and ask if the land of this old pile is for sale." Liu Meiniang took Zhang Jihan directly to the official mansion.

This is the first time Liu Meiniang has come to the so-called official mansion, which is not the same as acting in film and television dramas, at least not as magnificent as the official mansion in film and television dramas, but it is just a courtyard that is slightly larger than the usual residence, and there are still two stone lions at the door, which still looks very majestic.

When Liu Meiniang entered, she was stopped by two very fierce officials, Liu Meiniang explained her intention, and they were only allowed to go after they went in and reported it.

"You want to buy the piece of land that is stacked with old things?" The official master Liu Meiniang didn't see that it was the so-called master who came out to meet Liu Meiniang.

It is indeed a cultural person.

"Yes, sir, I want to buy the land where the old stuff is piled up."

The first time she had a conversation with the upper class, Liu Meiniang was still a little nervous.

"For what?" The master asked with a straight face.

"Open a shop." Liu Meiniang answered truthfully.

"Are you from Liuhe Village?"

"My husband's surname is Zhang." Liu Meiniang replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Oh, Zhang, I know." The master seemed to remember.

Speaking of the Zhang family in Liuhe Village, it was also a hot topic during this time, not only built a new yard, but also recruited people to weave cloth by hand, even Qingshi County, you can often hear about the Zhang family, and the master naturally knows.

"Master, can the land on the old pile be bought and sold?" Liu Meiniang didn't want to have an official relationship with her master.

"Yes, yes......" Master stroked his beard and said hesitantly.

"Then ......," Liu Meiniang asked.

"That piece of land belongs to the government, and the title deed is also mine." The master glanced at Liu Meiniang leisurely.

Liu Meiniang blinked, and suddenly understood the meaning of the master's words.

Liu Meiniang took out a purse from her waist and took out a few pieces of broken silver from it, about three or five taels. Liu Meiniang still can't figure out what this master means, so she first took out five taels of silver, in fact, it is not too little, five taels of silver for ordinary farmers is enough to spend a year, even if it is in the county town, five taels of silver can go to Chunmanlou to eat a fairly good meal.

Unexpectedly, when the master saw the things handed over by Liu Meiniang, he didn't turn his eyes and continued to recuperate behind closed doors.

"Master, master, I am a woman's family, and I also came to see the shop today, and I really didn't have much silver on me, I ...... Do you see enough of this? Liu Meiniang gritted her teeth, and took out a few taels of silver from her waist, adding up to a total of almost ten taels.

Only then did the master begin to look at Liu Meiniang.

"You peasant woman, you say as if this master is greedy for your money!" The master snorted dissatisfiedly, Liu Meiniang slandered in her heart, who are they.

"No, it's the folk woman who is bothering the master, the little meaning is not respectful, the master accepts it and eats tea." Liu Meiniang wants to be more sincere and sincere.

"But before, the king in the north of the city also came to me and said that he wanted to buy the land of the old pile and build a yard, and I ...... It's a bit embarrassing. ”

The master pinched a small pinch of beard on his mouth, of course Liu Meiniang understood what the master meant, but she still disliked that Liu Meiniang gave him less silver.

In order to open a supermarket, Liu Meiniang endured it, and finally stretched it out to her waist, and she took out all the remaining broken silver, a total of twenty-five taels.

"Master, the woman really wants to open a shop in the county, and when the shop is profitable in the future, if outsiders know that the land of the shop was bought with the help of the master's great kindness, everyone will praise the master's benevolence."

Liu Meiniang not only took out a lot of money this time, but also put a high hat on the master, and hinted at the master, as long as the supermarket she opened made money in the future, the master would only make more profits.

Sure enough, as soon as the master heard Liu Meiniang's words, his eyes began to change.

He heard that this Liu Meiniang is very capable, the people of the Zhang family did not talk about the new yard before, and even there were problems with eating and drinking, Liu Meiniang not only helped the people of the Zhang family to set up the yard, but now they also have to open a shop in the county, it seems that it is indeed a scheming, if it is someone else who comes today, the master may not see it, but this Liu Meiniang is indeed a good way.

"Since you have to do this, then I will accept it reluctantly." The master made a look, and a servant next to him stepped forward and took away the silver in Liu Meiniang's hand.

"Master, the matter of the land still has to bother you."

"The piece of land that is piled up of old things is also idle, since you are going to buy it to open a shop, it will also be helpful to the development of Qingshi County, there is nothing wrong, and the county lord is naturally happy." The master took the benefits, and the words he said suddenly changed the taste, Liu Meiniang listened to the master's meaning, and the matter of buying land was nine out of ten.

"Really? Master Mingjian, the woman sincerely wants to buy that piece of land, and hopes that the master will be fulfilled. Liu Meiniang was overjoyed and continued.

"Okay, according to the regulations of the government, that piece of land was bought for a total of one hundred and twenty-one taels of silver, did you bring enough silver to buy the land?" The master took out a booklet from the table and turned several pages.

"The woman came in a hurry today, and she didn't bring enough money, can she come back tomorrow......" Liu Meiniang glanced at her master and asked tentatively.

"It's not impossible to go tomorrow, it's just that I have something to do tomorrow to go out......"

The master meant something.

"This ...... Please also ask the master to bother, the woman will come early tomorrow. Liu Meiniang resisted the urge to roll her eyes, if this girl was placed in modern times, a proper corrupt official would have been beaten to death.

"It's okay, then you come early tomorrow, this master still has some official ......"

"Master rest assured, I have disturbed my master for a long time today, and I will definitely come to the door to make amends another day." Liu Meiniang said with a smile, the master squinted his eyes and didn't seem to notice it, nodded and signaled Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan to go.

As soon as she walked out of the gate of the county government, Liu Meiniang's face changed instantly.

"What a black heart." Liu Meiniang complained in a low voice.

"Sister-in-law, this master is too ......" Zhang Jihan wanted to say that this master was too greedy for money, and he was afraid of being heard, so he gave up.

"Greedy for money, stingy, sanctimonious!" Liu Meiniang popped out several adjectives in a row, and Zhang Jihan was dumbfounded.

"Sister-in-law, it's not good to say that master." Zhang Jihan said weakly, Liu Meiniang glanced at Zhang Jihan, didn't she just scold the master in her heart, and she was not allowed to say it.

Zhang Jihan obviously saw that Liu Meiniang had been smiling, and thought that Liu Meiniang had a good conversation with this master, but he didn't expect it......

Looking at Liu Meiniang's uncertain face, Zhang Jihan shrunk her neck, her sister-in-law is still quite scary sometimes.

Although they had enough money to buy the old stuff today, Liu Meiniang still pretended that she didn't have enough money, if she let the master know that they had nearly 1,000 taels of silver on them, maybe she would have to slaughter them. So Liu Meiniang had no choice but to shirk and say that she would go home and get the silver again, and she would come to buy land tomorrow.

Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan turned the furniture point again, and there are a few carpenters' homes, and after the supermarket is completed, the interior decoration still needs a lot of things, such as shelves, shopping carts and shopping baskets inside, there is no lightweight plastic in ancient times, at least the shelves inside, Liu Meiniang has to find a carpenter to customize, as for the shopping cart and shopping basket, Liu Meiniang is ready to cut some bamboo back and weave it herself.

The shady slopes on the west hill of the village are all bamboo, and there is no need to worry about the materials.

"Sister-in-law, why do we order such a big wooden shelf?" When Liu Meiniang and the master carpenter negotiated and paid the deposit and went out, Zhang Jihan finally couldn't help asking.

"Mountain people have their own tricks." Liu Meiniang sold a pass.

Zhang Jihan scratched his head in confusion and kept up with Liu Meiniang's pace.

In fact, Zhang Jihan followed Liu Meiniang to look at the place today, and went to the official mansion to find someone together, and his legs were soft when he entered the county office, but Liu Meiniang could still talk and communicate with the master, and Zhang Jihan's admiration for Liu Meiniang in his heart was a higher degree.

"Sister-in-law, will you be nervous in the county office?" Zhang Jihan asked Liu Meiniang.

"Nervous." Liu Meiniang said casually.

......"But I can't tell you're nervous at all."

Zhang Jihan had no choice but to meditate in his heart.

Liu Meiniang is indeed not nervous, although the government really gives people a sense of majesty, but in her previous life, Liu Meiniang participated in an international seminar on behalf of the school, this little scene can not scare her, but if she arrives at the Jinluan Palace one day, maybe she will be frightened.
