Chapter 8 Can You Lend Me Some Money?
Xia Yuxian sent Fan Siliang away, told Liu Neng to deal with the scene, and when he turned around and saw Liu Hong still standing beside him, he felt like a stone had been pressed in his heart: "Why don't you leave?
"Not necessarily, until I finish talking to you about business, I will know if I want to stay in Baicaotang for lunch?"
"Talking about business? I have lost more than 40,000 taels of gold just now from a tree, and if your business can make me earn it back, I would like to sit down and have a good talk with you." ”
When Xia Yuxian and Liu Hong were talking, Liu Qiaoyun was still thinking about this copper willow tree, which had taken root in the inner courtyard of Baicaotang for decades, and it was impossible for it to be fragile enough to fall down after a lift, unless someone destroyed it. Then she remembered the scene of Liu Hong climbing down from this tree last evening....
"Even if it's not him, it should have something to do with him. If I have the chance, I must make him look good!"
Thinking that he still had a piece of clothing that he couldn't sew and repair, Liu Qiaoyun couldn't help but wave his little fist in the void.
"Qiaoyun, you go and clean up the stone table and stone bench over there, Liu Hong and I have something very important to discuss. Xia Yuxian found that Liu Qiaoyun didn't keep up with him, so he shouted.
Under a few trees in the southeast corner of the inner courtyard of Baicaotang, there is a round stone table and several stone benches. It's been a long time since anyone has lingered there, covered with dust and a few leaves rolling on it. Xia Yuxian, who was a little tired, decided to go there and have a good talk about big business with Liu Hong.
"Okay Miss! I'll ask Elder Hong to help me use a few cleaning charms. ”
There are two ways to use the paper talismans, burning them with fire and shattering them with elemental force. Liu Qiaoyun, who had not yet reached the Juyuan Realm, had no way to shatter the paper talisman with Yuan Force, and led and Hong Lao to the southeast corner of the inner courtyard.
She took out two cleaning talismans, asked Hong Lao to clean up the round table and the stone bench in front of her, and after taking out another paper talisman and handing it to Hong Lao, she stood here without moving.
.....
"You have three counters in Baicaotang, isn't it a bit of a waste to use two counters to display magic weapons? So, I want to rent one of the counters. Liu Hong did not mention the fact that his shop was destroyed into ruins by the Fan family, and followed Xia Yuxian to the southeast corner.
"Rent our counter, what kind of goods do you want to sell? My rent is not low!" Xia Yuxian finished speaking and sat on the stone bench in front of Liu Qiaoyun.
"What goods are sold is kept secret for the time being, and it will definitely not affect Baicaotang's business. ”
"4,000 taels of gold per month, and a month's deposit must be paid first. ”
Liu Hong definitely couldn't let Xia Yuxian slaughter him as a fat sheep. He calculated in his heart that the price of each agricultural and livestock talisman was 5 taels of gold, and selling 50 taels a day was 250 taels, and a third of the 7,500 taels a month was used as rent to make a profit.
With this goal in mind, Liu Hong sat down and persuaded Xia Yuxian with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, and at the same time made a small request to hire Liu Neng under his name as a partner.
"Qiaoyun, you go and bring the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and I'll sign a contract with Liu Hong now." ”
"Don't worry! I want to ask Shopkeeper Xia, do you Baicaotang still recruit nursing homes?"
Liu Hong's turn was too urgent, and Xia Yuxian didn't react for a while.
Liu Qiaoyun, who braked sharply under his feet, angrily took out a dirty "Yanhai Di Newspaper" from his cuffs, and slapped it heavily on the stone table: "On your terms, you still want to be the guardian of our Baicaotang?"
Liu Hong didn't expect this newspaper that had been wiped on the table, and Liu Qiaoyun was not willing to take it to wipe his buttocks. He held back a smile and seriously read this recruitment revelation from Baicaotang:
"Due to actual needs, Baicaotang, located in the southwest of Yanhai City, needs to recruit a nurse. Men over 30 years old who are above the Yuan Realm can go to Baicaotang for an interview. Once the employment relationship is confirmed, 600 taels of salary will be paid on a monthly basis. ”
After reading the revelation, Liu Hong shook his head and said: "Shopkeeper Xia! It's a pity, if you strictly follow your recruitment conditions, I will indeed have to wait for twelve years before I am eligible to apply for your Baicaotang's nursing home." ”
Xia Yuxian pondered for a long time before he understood the meaning of Liu Hong's words, how could he be able to repel the two people from the Fan family's nursing home, how could his cultivation be under the Huayuan Realm.... She grabbed the newspaper on the table with her hand, pinched it into a ball and smashed it at Liu Hong, and said swear words for the first time in her life: "Go die!"
.....
On the stone table and stone bench, only Liu Hong was left, carefully checking the two contracts that had just been released. Being able to work part-time as a nurse in Baicaotang, not only can he save 600 taels of rent per month, but he can also live in Baicaotang for nothing, how can he not be excited.
He put away the contract, supported the table with both hands and tried to stand up, but unexpectedly found that his back was very heavy, and there was no way to straighten his waist. He reached out a hand and felt a cold stone bench behind his buttocks.
"Who is so lacking in virtue to use adhesive charms on the stone bench!"
If it weren't for the quality of his robes, the stone bench that fell would have smashed into his heels.
What should I do now? Do I have to go back to the room with this stone bench with both hands? Liu Hong, who found that there was no one around, ruthlessly tore through his robe, covered his buttocks, and rushed to the guest room.
"Hahaha!"
Liu Qiaoyun, who was hiding in the door of Xia Yuxian's courtyard and peeking, couldn't help but jump outside the door and laughed, even Xia Yuxian, who had always been sensible, was amused by Liu Hong's embarrassed appearance.
.......
Order was restored in Baicaotang, and the two contracts signed by Liu Hong just now became a topic of discussion among the guys. Especially Zhao Pu, who has a similar treatment to Liu Neng, wants to know what Liu Neng's salary was in the past.
"Liu Neng, can you tell me what kind of goods Liu Hong sells so much money. The rent of 2,500 taels a month is not a figure that ordinary businesses can afford!"
"There is also a deposit of 2,500 taels! Even if I save money for a year, I can't save so much money. Why didn't you see that Liu Hong was a rich man before?"
The monthly salary of ordinary guys is 150 taels of gold, and Liu Neng is slightly more than them. Even so, in the past few years, Liu Neng's private money has not reached 1,000 taels. He could vaguely guess what Liu Hong was selling, and he was more optimistic about this business, the only thing he was worried about was where Liu Hong would find a deposit of 2,500 taels.
At lunchtime, Liu Neng was carrying a lunch and preparing to send it to Liu Hong, who did not come out.
After Liu Neng knocked on the door and entered, he felt uneasy, what if Liu Hong really opened his mouth to borrow money from him? If he didn't promise him, would his business be ruined? With such a boss, can he get his salary..... The various entanglements in his heart made him a little afraid to hear Liu Hong speak.
Liu Hong nodded when he saw him, put away the pen and paper in his hand, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Liu Neng, can you lend me some money?"
