Chapter 312: Pawn Shop
Although Steward Zhou said so, Steward Zhao and Steward Zhang were still a little uneasy.
"It's all to blame on the money manager, but it's just a few taels of silver, as for doing it?"
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat the money manager, Manager Zhao really wanted to go to the money manager's house and beat the money manager violently.
It's just because he said the matter that he will be worried now.
"It's just that everyone has been friends for so many years, and it is too much for him to do such a thing!"
After listening to Steward Zhao, Steward Zhang opened his mouth and agreed, he looked at Steward Zhou, "Steward Zhou, what are you going to do next?" ”
"Take a break for a while, and then find something else to do, you can't stay forever."
Steward Zhou opened his mouth and answered Steward Zhang's question, after all, he is not yet seventy or eighty, and the whole family is still waiting to feed himself, although he has saved some foundation in the He family, he can't sit and eat empty.
"It's okay, after all, I'm not too old, and I'm upset to stay at home, that mother-in-law in my family, who talks about me almost every day these days, is really annoying!"
After listening to Steward Zhou, Steward Zhang nodded, and then looked at Steward Zhao, "What about you?" Steward Zhao, what are your plans? ”
"I don't want to stay in the capital anymore, my family is a daughter, and I don't have a son, I think about selling the house in the capital, finding a small place to retire, and then recruiting a son-in-law, our old couple will not worry."
In contrast, Steward Zhao can be slightly older, for so many years, his daughter-in-law has not been able to give birth to a son, just such a daughter, he is a strict wife, so he does not dare to take a concubine, so he has no son.
It's not bad to find a small place to retire and recruit a door-to-door son-in-law.
"It's okay, it's not easy to stay in the capital, it's better to find a small place!" After listening to Steward Zhao, Steward Zhou nodded, if he didn't have three sons, he would also want to find a small place to retire.
The three of them talked for a while, and then they dispersed, and before leaving, the three of them made an appointment three days later, intending to have a glass of parting wine before Steward Zhao left.
…………
Steward Zhou, they are no longer stewards of the He family, so Yun Zhu doesn't care about their affairs.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and Yunzhu asked He Zhen to take the account book from several new stewards, and the two looked at it seriously.
"Grandma Sun, it seems that the new stewards are doing a good job at the moment."
After briefly flipping through a few pages, He Zhen smiled and spoke, it can be seen that the account book is done very carefully, even if it is a penny's expense, it is clearly marked.
"Well, it's pretty good, but I don't know how long it will last." The ledger was only a few pages, after all, the time was still short, so soon, the two of them finished reading the ledger.
Tomorrow will be busy again, Yunzhu and He Zhen will follow Steward He to the pawn shop in the capital.
Before, Steward He suggested that after Yunzhu became familiar with the cloth village and the jewelry shop, he should first familiarize himself with the pawn shop.
The He family has only two pawn shops in the capital, although the number is not much, but it is indeed the largest pawn shop in the capital.
There are two pawn shops, one in Dongcheng and one in Xicheng, and there are not many pawn shops of the He family, even in other places, only in large towns.
Although it is small, the pawn shop's business is not bad, and this cloud bead only needs a general understanding, and nothing else basically needs to be managed.
After all, it's not like a restaurant or a cloth village, as long as the price is reasonable and Tong Su is not bullied, the people in the capital are still willing to come to the He family's pawn shop, after all, there is a guarantee, and they don't worry that they can't get back the money they pawn.
After the pawn shop is familiar, Yunzhu will be familiar with the inn, the tea house, and the carriage and horse shop.
"Steward He, it seems that our He family doesn't have a food shop?" Looking at the list in her hand, Yun Zhu opened her mouth suspiciously, she only noticed it today.
"Back to Grandma Sun, someone in this capital will be responsible for the food, and our He family will not fight."
The capital is very large, so there are many grain shops, after all, every family has to eat, and firewood, rice, oil and salt are always inseparable.
Hearing what Steward He said, Yunzhu was a little puzzled, and after asking a few more carefully, he understood the situation.
It turned out that in the capital, all the grain shops were contracted by one person, and the He family was also familiar with them, and the relationship was also good.
Even if there is a food shortage one day, the He family does not need to worry about the problem of not having food to eat.
Don't look at the monopoly of food, but no one in the capital dares to have an opinion.
On weekdays, the small merchants and vendors that Yunzhu can see on the street selling grain or condiments have also greeted that family, and they can sell them if they are approved.
"Steward He, which one is so powerful?" After hearing what Steward He had said, Yunzhu couldn't help but be a little curious.
After all, this is the capital, and it is really powerful enough for someone to cover the sky with one hand.
"That family's surname is Yan, and their family also helped with that incident last year, if you want to talk about the origin of this family, to be honest, the old slave has not figured it out for so many years."
"Some say that the Yan family is the emperor's family, and some say that the ancestors of the Yan family have made meritorious contributions, so they can monopolize the grain shops in the capital."
"Anyway, there are any theories, in the eyes of the old slave, as long as there is no conflict with our He family, it doesn't matter what the origin is."
After listening to Steward He, Yunzhu nodded, it is true, as long as there is no conflict with the He family, it doesn't matter what the origin is.
"But speaking of which, isn't my grandfather worried about any conflict with the Yan family one day, so that we can't buy food?"
The so-called knowing people and knowing faces do not know their hearts, no matter what, the He family does not have a food shop in their hands, even if they are good friends with the Yan family, but the hearts of the people are separated from their stomachs, who knows what other thoughts the Yan family will have one day.
"This question, the old slave has also said it before, but the old man is very sure, so the old slave has not said it, the old slave estimates that the relationship between the Yan family and us should be extraordinary, so the old man is not worried about this matter."
"Besides, Grandma Sun doesn't have to worry, although there is no grain shop in the capital, but there are other places, so even if there is really any conflict or problem with the Yan family, we can also transport grain from elsewhere."
"What's more, the power of our He family is not small, even if there is no food shop, it is impossible to go hungry, after all, we still have a restaurant and have our own channels."
Smiling and speaking, Steward He explained Yunzhu's problem, and after listening to him, Yunzhu smiled and nodded.
"I see, but I'm too worried." Solving the problem of the grain shop, Yun Zhu continued to look at the list in his hand, and Steward He sat on the chair next to him, answering Yun Zhu and He Zhen's questions from time to time.
…………
"Grandma Sun, this is our He family's pawn shop, the size of the pawn shop on both sides is about the same, the shopkeepers are also good, the two shopkeepers are twins, the old man saved their parents back then, so they met, and when the two children grow up, they will be sent to us to work."
Standing at the door of the pawn shop, Steward He introduced Yunzhu with a smile, Yunzhu's face showed surprise, she didn't expect that among these shopkeepers of the He family, there were twin brothers.
Following Steward He, Yunzhu entered the pawn shop, where someone was coming to pawn something, and the steward was assessing the value.
Generally, only very valuable items will be personally presented by the shopkeeper, and the value is usually assessed by the clerk and the steward.
Everyone is familiar with Steward He, after all, Steward He will come and transfer at least twice a month.
"Where's the shopkeeper?" Looking at a job in the store, Steward He asked, and the guy quickly led the way and brought Steward He, Yunzhu and the others upstairs.
In contrast, the things upstairs are more valuable than those downstairs, and at this time there is a man looking at a blood-red bracelet, looking very seriously.
Looking around, there were a few people upstairs, and Yunzhu wanted to know which one was the shopkeeper of the pawn shop?
The reason why I didn't think about the man who looked at the bracelet was because he was really young, and now the shops that Yunzhu had come into contact with, the age of those shopkeepers was not young.
"Young Grandma Sun, that is the shopkeeper of the pawn shop, don't look at his young age, but his eyes are very poisonous, and he can see some problems that the master can't see." Steward He opened his mouth and introduced the man's identity.
To Yunzhu's surprise, the young man who made her think that he couldn't be the shopkeeper was the shopkeeper of the pawn shop.
The man is really young, and he looks like he is in his twenties and less than thirty.
At this age, he became the shopkeeper of a pawn shop, which must be something extraordinary.
Yun Zhu was thinking about it, when the young man put down the tool in his hand, and then carefully placed the bracelet in his hand in the box on the table.
"Well, it's indeed a blood jade bracelet, this thing is rare, what price do you want, live or die?"
Yun Zhu didn't know what a blood jade bracelet was, but from the eyes of the young shopkeeper, he could see that it was a treasure.
"Blood jade bracelets? That's a valuable thing! Steward He beside him obviously knew, and after listening to the young shopkeeper's words, he muttered in a low voice.
"Steward He, what is a blood jade bracelet?" Turning his head to look at Steward He, Yunzhu asked in a low voice.
"Do you see the color of the bracelet? It is said that if the blood jade bracelet is cultivated from human flesh and blood, it can be regarded as the most precious, and the brighter the color, the more likely it is to be cultivated by flesh and blood. ”
"Human flesh? So how to raise? Do you want to put a bracelet into a person's body? ”
He Zhen opened his mouth in a low voice, interrupting Steward He's words, Steward He was not dissatisfied, after all, it is normal for people who don't understand to ask like this.
"That's true, some people specialize in raising corpses, but the color of that kind of raising is not transparent, I don't know how to raise it, I just know that this blood jade bracelet is worth a lot of money."
Tell Yunzhu and He Zhen what he knows, Steward He's eyes fell on the table, after all, it was a blood jade bracelet, even if he looked at it a few more times, he could increase his knowledge......
