Chapter 8 The Jade Buddha is suspicious

He Zhiqiu put down the chopsticks gently, "The private money of you and my sisters is all put together, whether you borrow or not, but the money is not much." ”

As she spoke, she stood up, took a bunch of keys from her waist, opened the cage with one of them, took out a small wooden box, and opened it to see that there was a bag of broken silver in it, as well as a few auspicious silver nudes, which were rewarded when she went to visit the elders of Beppu during the New Year's Festival.

He Zhichun counted them with a dark face, and added them all together, only about eighteen taels of silver. That's not bad for two eight-year-old girls.

But for He Zhichun, who has been a sect wife for ten years, if this money is to be used to do the big career she wants, it is still far away!

She is only eight years old, she can't be a cook by herself every day, she doesn't go, and the formula in her hand can't be leaked, so she can only buy someone and sign a death deed.

Selling food, even if you don't rent a shop, then you have to have a small stall, pots and pans, these guys even have to buy a set, as well as spices for braised meat, star anise, cinnamon and spices, etc., are not cheap, and she also wants to collect some wild peppers, peppercorns and the like.

After all, the cheapest is rice noodles, the main ingredient.

After all, this year is good, and the rice is only ten cents, and the rice noodles are more expensive, but they are not much more expensive.

Seeing that He Zhichun was a little deflated, He Zhiqiu took off the jade pendant from his neck and said, "If Sister is in a hurry to use the money, it is better to take my jade Buddha as it." I see that the jade quality is good, and it should be able to be used as a lot of silver. ”

He Zhichun shook his head, "Your jade Buddha was given to you by a high monk to keep you safe, put it on quickly, don't take it out again." ”

She glanced at the jade, but she was slightly suspicious in her heart, she didn't understand jade in her previous life, she didn't notice anything after looking at this jade for a long time, but later she became a sect woman, and the treasure jade that passed through her hand didn't know what was ordinary, and now when she looked at it, she felt that something was wrong.

This jade is really good, its value is much higher than He Yu's inkstone, where did the monk come from to be so generous?

And she is not at all like He Zhiqiu, except for her, no one in the He family has any qi disease!

He Zhichun thought about it and couldn't help but shake his head! Wang said in person that when she gave birth to two sisters, she suddenly had four legs!

"It's okay, after all, the food I want to sell is the only one in this Yuezhou City, let's invest the money in it first, and it is not difficult to earn 100 yuan a month."

Monthly income? He Zhiqiu's eyes lit up, it took how long she had embroidered the fan and handkerchief to earn a hundred times.

"Sister, if this matter is discovered by A-Niang and A-Dad...... she hesitated a little, if this shop is really opened, with Wang's temperament, I am afraid it will become He Zhile's dowry.

Then the eighteen taels of silver she had saved with great difficulty were going to be posted upside down?

He Zhichun hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Don't worry, Sister has her own way." When Sister Ah makes money, she will take you to Chang'an to find the best doctor and cure your qi disease. Qiu Niang was born so well, she will be safe and secure in the future and marry a good son. ”

He Zhiqiu's eyes turned red when he heard this, "A big boy didn't make any money back, so he just thought about it." ”

He Zhichun smiled dumbly.

As she spoke, the two sisters took out ten taels of silver from the box, put them in their bosoms, and went out of the corner gate together, holding hands. They are still young, and the folk customs of Yuezhou are very strong, that is, the little ladies in the Huaxin period need to wear Mi to cover their faces, but they don't use it.

"Let's go and see if we can rent a shop, preferably in the north of the city, close to the government office, where the people living in this place are both rich and noble, and they love fresh food the most."

He Zhichun said, leading He Zhiqiu to look all the way, in fact, when she came here, she remembered that there was a shop that was very suitable, just near the academy, and the owner of the shop was originally a scholar, and he failed to solve the test, so he opened a bookstore here and ate with a mouthful of food.

Unexpectedly, there were few readers in Yuezhou, and the bookstore earned too little, and some of the gains outweighed the losses, so I thought about renting out the shop and collecting some rent, but the shop was too narrow and long, and it wasn't until He Zhiyi explained the test that the shop was rented to someone to make a warehouse.

She's just selling some food, and the shop is quite suitable.

She searched for her memory and quickly found this place, only to see a gray-haired old man sitting in it shaking his head and looking at a book, and when he saw Sister He Zhichun coming, he didn't raise his head.

"This grandpa, are you going to rent out this shop? What is the monthly rent? ”

The person at the other end raised his head, glanced at Sister He Zhichun in surprise, and said with a smile: "You little girl, how good it is to keep a few big words in your pocket to make candy, come here to find some fun." Wuguan, do you have it? ”

He Zhichun's eyes widened, and he grinned, revealing the pear vortex on both sides, which looked very honest.

"Grandpa, don't look at me as small, just scold me. Your shop is like an alley, you have to get stuck selling a coffin, you can't smell the aroma of the wine in the jar, it's pitch black, and you have to light the lamp and pay wax miles during the day. In our Yuezhou, a family has two yuan a month, and they can drink wine and eat meat, and they can ...... five times."

She said, shaking her head.

The shopkeeper looked at her young age, and she was chubby and cute, and her heart was so soft that she was a mess, and this little lady hurt when she looked at it.

"Then what do you think my shop can do? How much is it worth? ”

He Zhichun stretched out his hand and gestured for a consistent half.

The old man laughed, "Didn't you say that you can drink wine and eat meat when you have two moons?" If you can come up with two dollars, I will rent it to you. ”

He said, obviously not believing that the eight-year-old girl could come up with two dollars. Although the two sisters were neatly dressed, they did not look like they were rich and noble, not to mention that He Zhichun's spring shirt had broken a few bars because of climbing trees.

He Zhichun smiled, "The big husband has made a word, and the horse is difficult to chase!" ”

As he spoke, he took out two pieces of broken silver from his bosom and gently placed them in front of the old man.

The old man pointed at her and smiled even more cheerfully, "So-and-so has fallen into your trap, you little guy is really here to rent a shop, what about your family, but hiding around the corner, laughing so-and-so!" ”

As he spoke, he poked his head out and looked around.

He Zhichun shook his head, "No, my elder brother is studying in the academy near here, and our sisters rent a shop to sell some food, and my elder brother also has a place to rest." ”

She didn't make a random offer, and the old man would rent it to the shop next door every month for two yuan as a warehouse, which showed that he could accept the price.

Sure enough, when the old man heard this, he knew in his heart that he was about a brother and sister who depended on each other, and he had seen a lot of such things.

"If so-and-so is not the one who broke his word, then he will rent it to you, what will you sell in the future?"

He Zhichun stretched out a finger and said: "Selling the best rice noodles in Yuezhou City is called Zhiweiji!" ”
