In the first month, from the first day of the new year to the fifth day of the new year, everyone is busy greeting the new year.

The old men in the village met to greet the New Year, kowtowed, talked and laughed, and talked about the New Year, Fulu and wealth; The little doll kowtows to people, in order to earn a red seal old official board; The daughter-in-law and aunt changed into new blouses, picked up a velvet flower on their heads, pulled up their cuffs, wiped the Luo face on their hands, and greeted relatives and friends with a happy face......

Luo Shi and Douzi were lonely, and there were no relatives who came to the door, Niu Qian accompanied Sanniang back to her parents' house, but it was Uncle Liang who came to eat at night.

At the opening of the market on the sixth day of the new year, she was also tired of staying on the kang, so she responded to Uncle Liang's proposal and made a carriage to go around Tongzhou City together.

The first time I rode into the city in a carriage, it felt really different.

Before the sixth day of the new year, the shops in the city were closed, the stage was sealed, and the yamen did not work.

She looked out the window, the market opened on the sixth day of the new year, and the traders opened the door panels from door to door, and calculated the time to put a hundred cannons at the door, crackling all over the ground.

The trading in Tongzhou is very well organized, the smaller ones are called shops, the larger ones are called shops, and then they can be called Zhuang - such as cloth and linen shops, silk shops, and silk villages.

Luo Xi thought in her heart that she would find a shop on Nantou Street in the spring and start her old business - to open a snack shop for mass sales.

"On the sixth day of the new year, is the tooth shop open?"

"What are you looking for a dental shop to do?"

"Go and see the shop, I want to rent a shop and sell some things myself"

When Uncle Liang heard this, his eyes were shining, he and Luo Shi were sitting in a carriage, the car was spacious, but he was willing to sit with her, and he was pushed a few times before he was honest.

As soon as he heard this, he stuck to it again: "But open a restaurant? I heard that Sanniang's somen stall is doing very well, and I haven't tasted your spicy fried vegetarian shredded pork yet."

"You just stick to it, and if you touch your sleeve closer, I'll quit"

Luo Shi smiled at him and opened her arms to him very generously.

"Radix! Don't threaten me with this! ”

"It seems that you are not threatened, anyway, I am busy with the shop, so it is better to ......"

His face was stained with anger, and with a stretch of his hand, he sat down on the other end of the carriage.

Uncle Liang closed his eyes in the middle of the night, pursed his thin lips, staring at Luo Shi on the opposite side and calculating: How to save his pigtail, which was tightly clutched?

"But I'm not going to open a restaurant, I only plan to open a small snack shop, unlike those who sell dried fruits, my shop, the guests who enter the door each share a small basket, all the snacks in the shop are clearly marked, he likes what he likes, and he will settle the accounts on the counter."

Similar to the reality of Yu Baijia and the princess drove to this.

"Hey, it sounds fresh, you don't sell dried fruits, so what do you sell?"

"Dried fruit still has to be sold, and you forgot that I have a five-lucky squirrel? This brand can be resounding, naturally, this is your blessing to the son of the beam."

To tell the truth, if Uncle Liang hadn't sent Aunt Wang to send dried fruits to General He's Mansion at night, she might not have been able to catch this line quickly.

"Haha, I knew the old guy liked it" Uncle Liang didn't know what to say, but he was still comfortable.

"Are you familiar with Grandpa He?"

"He is an old general, my father is also a military general, I learned martial arts with him when I was a child, so I am naturally familiar with each other" Uncle Liang was reluctant to mention it at night, so after a brief explanation, he diverted the topic:

"Now, tell me, in addition to Wufu squirrel, what other snacks are you going to sell?"

In fact, radish is just an idea, in addition to the business model to imitate the modern mass sales style, snack varieties also have to be carefully selected.

Not only dried fruits and nuts, but also spicy dishes that have made a name for themselves can also be packed in small packages and sold by the piece, and some pickled pepper phoenix feet, spicy duck neck, sour bamboo shoots, and spicy beef can be sold together.

She thought about it, and when spring begins, she will have to distribute all the chili seeds to the villagers and teach them to grow chili peppers, make chili noodles and sauce.

Instead of picking out the goods on the market, it is better for her to buy them directly.

Then set up a pickle grinding workshop in Niujia Village, where each of her snacks can be contracted by a family, and she only controls each production line and sells it to the shop. In this way, you can save a lot of energy and bring the people of the village to become rich together.

Uncle Liang saw her frowning at night, hanging his head and not knowing what he was thinking, so he smiled and leaned over:

"Hey—"

"What for?" Her thoughts were interrupted, and she didn't have a good face.

"You haven't told me what you're going to sell" Seeing Luo Shi's anger, Uncle Liang was a little innocent at night.

"It's a trade secret, you'll know it the day I open my business."

“……”

With a sigh, the carriage stopped, and Sang Bai came in and asked, "Gongziya has arrived, do you and the girl want to go?" ”

"I'll Go"

Since you are here, it is better to go and have a look, if you have a favorite shop, it is better to settle down as soon as the market opens on the sixth day of the new year.

Thinking like this, Luo Shi picked up the curtain of the car, jumped out of the car with a wheel, stepped on a few steps and entered the gate of the tooth shop.

"This girl, what little thing can help you with leasing, buying and selling?"

Yazi came up diligently and pricked a thousand children, and stretched out his hand to invite Luo Xi and Uncle Liang in. He looked at the man's noble costumes, the elegance of the instrument, and the woman's appearance, although she was dressed as a village girl, but her temperament was extraordinary, without a trace of timid earthiness.

"I want to rent a shop and start a small business"

"It's easy! You tell me the requirements, and I will quote you a slip immediately, and there will be a price for any location, and there must be a shop you like."

Holding two cups of tea, Yazi bowed down and waited on the side.

"It's best to shop on the street on Nantou Street, two-story shop, and bring a small yard at the back, the shop is not allowed to be very large, about two zhang wide is enough"

Yazi thought for a while and said: "Nantou Street is full of shops on the first floor, you want two floors, and you have to bring a yard...... Tsk, there is a place, and it has been hanging in the tooth shop for a while, but no one cares."

"Why is that?"

"That's right, the owner of the shop is a talented man, his family is a teahouse, it was originally a big teahouse, because of poor management, he was separated from a vacant room, and he wanted to rent it out"

"But it's too expensive?" Uncle Liang interjected at night.

Yazi shook his head: "That's not it, it's just that he asked for something to blame, he can't kill pigs and chop meat, can't shout and buy, can't stir-fry vegetables, can't be fattened...... Anyway, it's not like it's a sincere desire to sell."

"Isn't this embarrassing?"

"But it's not, Nantou Street is open, it's either a rice shop or a vegetable shop, do you say that the meat seller can not chop the chopping board? How can the stir-fry not be fragrant, if it is not fragrant, there is still business, this owner is a scholar, maybe I am afraid that it will affect the class reading."

Luo Shi read it again, and his snack shop seems to be satisfied?

"It's okay, you take me to see the shop first, if it looks good, I'll talk to the owner, and the negotiation will give you a bonus"

"Eh, what else is there to say, Xiao Liu, prepare the car!"

Yazi took Luo Shi and Uncle Liang to the "Songfeng Teahouse" on Nantou Street, the door of the teahouse was still hidden, and a guy was holding a string of Baizi cannons, intending to unload the board and open.

"Edamame, I'll bring someone to see the shop," Yazi was the first to greet him.

The man named Edamame glanced at Luo Shi lazily, lowered his eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "Do you accept those requests?" If you accept it, then come in and talk."

He opened the door of the teahouse, it was dark inside, and the nose was full of dust, and when the windows were opened, it looked brighter.

As far as the eye can see, the teahouse is divided into two floors, the lower floor has a few tables and chairs in the hall, and on the north side is a countertop, with tea cards hanging on it, and there are many tea cans on the tea shelves, and there are no other objects.

The edamame guy wiped the dust on the table with his sleeve, invited someone to sit down and said: "It's a month to rest here, so it's a little dusty, don't be surprised to see it."

"Edamame, where is your young master?" Yazi looked around and asked him.

"The young master is studying at home, but he will soon have no home, he wants to catch up with this autumn, and he has already exchanged all the money for the house."

Yazi knew about this, and he handled it, and smiled awkwardly:

"I persuaded him to sell this teahouse, but he refused, even if he sold the house and not the teahouse, there was no business here, I really don't know what he thought"

Edamame had a crying expression: "The teahouse is the work of the master for most of his life, and the young master will not sell anything, it is the shop on the side, in fact, I know that he said so many conditions, but he was reluctant to rent it out"

Wiping his tears, he said to Luo Shi: "I don't know what shop the girl wants to open?" ”

"Oh, it's a snack shop, it doesn't shout and buy, it's all sealed snacks, and it's sold after it's done elsewhere, and it won't smell like fried vegetables."

Edamame nodded: "That's good, the shop is next to the teahouse, when the master is there, our teahouse business is good, and when you can't sit down, you also set a table next door, and then the master left, and the next door was vacant."

"Dude, don't know how much the rent is?"

When she came, Luo Shi had already paid attention to the environment around the shop, and overall, it was still very much to her liking.

"One tael of silver per month, settled once every six months, but you have to bet on the rent of the shop for three months, and if the girl wants to rent, it will cost a total of nine taels of silver."

Luo Shi pondered for a moment, thinking: The rent is not cheap, but fortunately, this is a small courtyard, washing and messing, and it is convenient to store some things, so it is acceptable.

"Okay, I'll rent this shop."

Yazi was also happy to see her so happy, and he sighed twice, hurriedly took out a pen and paper from his arms, and wanted to write down the certificate on the spot.

"It's just that I don't have so much cash on me now, so it's better to pay some deposit with you, and I'll come back tomorrow."

Yazi was anxious, if he couldn't knock down the deal on the spot, who knew what would happen overnight, so he hurriedly said:

"If you don't have any silver, you can make a silver ticket," he said, glancing at Uncle Liang.

Luo Shi looked at Uncle Liang in embarrassment, could it be possible, and asked him to borrow it first?

Uncle Liang was looking at Luo Shi's side face in a daze, he held his cheeks, his eyes were overflowing, he didn't seem to care about the matter of this shop at all, and he completely blocked the person Yazi.

Seeing Luo Shi looking back at him sideways, his eyes dodging, and his face flushed with a blush, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips and asked softly:

"What's wrong? What are you blushing for? ”

"Ahem...... You"

"Huh?"

"Do you have a silver ticket?"

"Ahh

Uncle Liang was very depressed at night, why did such affectionate eyes end up in a vulgar dialogue!

He took out a silver ticket from the sole of his boot, slapped it on the table, and said in a muffled voice: "I only have one hundred taels for self-defense, and the broken silver is all on Sang Bai."

With a hundred taels of silver for self-defense, what else can Luo Shi say, he can only praise him as a local tyrant, take the silver ticket and go to the money bank to exchange.

Qian Zhuang is at the entrance of the opposite street, and it is not far to walk, but when he arrives at the intersection, he just happened to meet the officers and soldiers who clear the road, and a column of officers and soldiers carry knives around their waists, blocking the intersection to prevent anyone from passing.

It's like some big guy is coming.

As always, there were people around the crowd of good deeds, and many people turned their heads and whispered, saying that the new Tongzhou prefect had taken office!

The previous prefect was transferred due to the crime of lax royal duties, but I didn't expect the new appointment to arrive so soon?

The gong opened the way, and a four-person ceremonial official sedan chair passed slowly, as if it was a coincidence, when the sedan chair came to Luo Shi, the person in the sedan chair raised his hand to open the curtains, revealing half of his face.

The goatee had been shaved off, and the head with half of his scalp cut off was hidden under the melon skin warm hat, and even so, Rass recognized him at a glance!

Master Huo!!
