Chapter 35 The Journey of the Tooth Person

Although the trouble in the academy was solved, it did not mean that the personal conflict between Fanning and Juppé was resolved.

The two still didn't speak, and they took a break at noon, and Zhu Pei walked away without squinting, not looking at him at all.

This kind of cold violence made Fan Ning regret it a little, just now he should have proposed to the master of the Liu courtyard to change his seat.

"Let's go! Eat and go. ”

Liu Kang patted Fanning on the back, and the two walked out of the classroom.

"What's the fun of these two days?"

Fanning's news is relatively closed, and Liu Kang is almost his only source.

Liu Kang thought for a while and said, "Fan Jiang came to the school with his father yesterday, do you know? ”

"The master of the courtyard has already talked to me about this in the morning."

"I guess you know, hey! Don't look at Zhu Pei beating Fan Jiang so hard, he must be the one who apologizes in the end, where does their family dare to provoke the Zhu family. ”

"Don't talk about that!"

Fanning interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Is there anything else?" ”

"The other is the holiday arrangement for the next Yuan Festival, which will be officially announced tomorrow."

The two walked to the door of the dining hall, but they unexpectedly saw Fan Jiang, his face was still bruised, his eyes flickered, and he looked very hesitant.

Eventually, he walked up, speaking slurred, as if he were leaking a little.

"Fanning, my dad asked me to apologize to you, I'm sorry!"

With that, he bowed to Fanning, turned around and hurried away.

"No sincerity at all!" Liu Kang looked at his back and whispered.

Fanning smiled, "Whatever!" Let's eat. ”

The two walked briskly into the dining hall.

........

Zhu Pei did not come to class in the afternoon, which made Fanning feel a lot more comfortable, and he practiced calligraphy very hard in the past two days, and he also felt that he had made significant progress.

He seemed to have found a sense of writing, which excited Fanning to write until the end of school in one breath.

But today Fanning has something to do, and after school he comes to Evergreen Street, the busiest street in town.

Changqing Street is the long street next to the wharf, which is the most prosperous commercial street in Mudu Town, with a street of one and a half miles long and hundreds of shops of various kinds.

Fanning came to a two-story shop, and there was a huge sign erected at the door, with five large characters written on it: 'Guang Ji Ya Ren Xing'.

The tooth line is equivalent to the intermediary of later generations, and it is the most developed industry in the Great Song Dynasty.

If you want to do any business in the Great Song Dynasty, you must find a tooth person to match, and if there is no tooth person in the middle, the signed contract will be invalid.

For example, Fanning's desire to open a medical clinic for his father is also a kind of business, and he also needs to find a tooth man.

As soon as he walked in the door, a familiar boy greeted him.

"Yo! The petty official hasn't been seen for a long time, what do I need to do? ”

The small guy is the guide, there are many tooth people in the tooth person's line, and there is a specialization in art, you have to find the right person, otherwise you go to the store, but the person who receives you is a lawsuit tooth person, then the bull's head is not the horse's mouth.

"I'm looking for a shop."

"Oh! The little official is looking for a shop, please here! ”

The little guy is very polite, this is his profession, and he didn't ignore Fanning because he was young.

Walk into a long walkway, there are many huts on both sides, one hut is a tooth man.

There are all kinds of information posted at the door, such as introducing real estate, introducing matchmakers, introducing lawyers, introducing business, mediating conflicts, assessing prices, etc., all kinds of things.

The tooth people who are responsible for finding shops are called Zhuang Zhai Yaren, and there are the largest number, with seven or eight houses.

The walls of the entrance are plastered with information on various shops, houses, and properties, some of which are bought and sold, and some are rented, just like the real estate agents of later years.

'The store on the street in the book collection town, half an acre of land, two floors, the location is good, it can be rented or sold, and the price is negotiable. ’

"Wangpu in Mudu Town, covering an area of three acres, can open a tavern and tea house, with a monthly rent of ten times."

The monthly rent of three acres of land is only ten yuan, and Fanning thinks that the rent of the shop is not too expensive.

Of course, this is just a small town, and if you go to a big city like Wu County or Changzhou County, the rent will be completely different.

Fanning walked into a room and saw a middle-aged tooth man busy ordering tea.

Seeing that the business came to the door, the middle-aged tooth man hurriedly put down the teapot and said with a smile: "Does the little official need my help?" ”

Fanning nodded, "I'm looking for a shop!" ”

"Then let's sit down and talk!"

The middle-aged man was very polite, and he asked with a smile: "Although the little official has expressed his needs, I will see what help can be provided." ”

Fanning's heart moved, and he asked, "I want to know about the situation of the town's medical hall, can Uncle provide information about this?" ”

"It turns out that the petty official wants to open a medical center!"

"My father wants to open a medical center, let me inquire first."

"No problem, we make a living by running errands and inquiring about news, as long as it's not too confidential, I can help inquire."

Fanning took out a piece of paper from his arms, this is a plan he drafted, what information do you need to know to run a medical center?

He handed the paper to the tooth man, who looked at it, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "The little official is an expert!" ”

"Can you hear about this?"

The tooth man smiled: "I have ready-made answers to some questions, such as shops, and some I have to ask others, such as what items are needed to run a medical center, how much cost, I also have to ask others, so let's do it!" 500 yuan, I will cover it, and the petty officials will come to get the news five days later, how about it? ”

"You have to do it well, and I can only give you money."

"No problem, but according to the rules of the industry, you have to pay a deposit of fifty yuan in advance, this is the rule, we rely on credibility to eat, and we will not lie to you."

Fanning took out fifty cents from his money bag and put it on the table, and he asked with a smile: "Tell me first, if I rent a shop along the street on half an acre of land in Changqing Street, how much will it cost?" ”

The tooth man smiled and said: "The half-acre shop along Changqing Street, the cheapest rent is eight times a month, but let me tell you a wonderful way, you don't rent a shop along the street, rent two rooms in the alley, and the monthly money is enough."

Then rent a signboard along the street at the entrance of the alley, which is also a consistent monthly payment, and two yuan a month will solve the rent problem, of course, if you want to open a big medical clinic that sells medicine, then it is another matter. ”

Fanning really admires these merchants of the Song Dynasty, how smart they are! I even thought of a way to rent a signboard along the street.

Fanning thought for a moment, "What if I want to rent a separate small storefront in a certain pharmacy?" ”

"Of course you can, little official, so be it! You add another 500 yuan, and I will help you with the matter of renting a store in the pharmacy, and I will ensure that you are satisfied, and I will not charge a penny if you are not satisfied. ”

In the Song Dynasty, as long as you are willing to spend money, you don't have to worry about anything, and the tooth people will help you do it properly.

........

In the next few days, Juppé was still cold and indifferent to him, ignoring him.

However, Fanning has also been completely immersed in the improvement of calligraphy in the past few days.

Calligraphy, like many other disciplines, is easy to understand and difficult to master, and it is relatively easy to get started, but it is extremely difficult to reach the master level, which requires not only a lot of hard work, but also a certain amount of talent.

Just like us ordinary people, as long as we practice calligraphy a little, we can generally write well, but it is difficult to write calligraphy.

Fanning's handwriting is mainly influenced by Fan's dullness, but once he gets rid of this shackle and finds the sense of pen, his handwriting will improve rapidly.

Today is the last day of class, and tomorrow will be the next holiday.

The Xia Yuan Festival is October 15, and the Song Dynasty and all schools have a three-day holiday.

In the afternoon, there was a calligraphy class, and the class was quiet, only the rustling of pens could be heard, and everyone was engrossed in practicing calligraphy.

Mr. Liu, who is also a professor of calligraphy, walked back and forth in the classroom to check on each student's handwriting.

At this time, he walked up to Fanning and watched Fanning practice calligraphy, and in the past two days, he also discovered Fanning's progress in handwriting, just like finding a trick, and obviously jumped to a higher level.

Fanning is practicing Xiaokai, which is the standard font for the imperial examination, and it is also the font that students must practice first, so that the exam will not suffer.

Fanning's goal is obviously to go to the school's annual exam.

"Show me!"

Fan Ning stopped writing, and Master Liu picked up his practice book, he flipped through the words in front of him, and compared the small block that had just been written.

Nodding and praised: "Yes, I have made great progress, I feel a little bit, I hope to make persistent efforts and go to the next level!" ”

"Thank you Master, the student council will work hard!"

Courtyard Master Liu put down Fanning's practice book and continued to pace to the other side.

At this time, Zhu Pei next to him pouted, "It's written like a ghost, that's good?" ”

Fanning looked at her in surprise, the first thing she had said to herself in four days.

Juppei's face flushed, she snorted, and continued to write, ignoring Fanning.

Fan Ning was secretly amused in his heart, this little lady's anger had actually disappeared.

Fanning began to pick up the pen and write again, and after a few lines, he secretly glanced at Zhu Pei again, but she also happened to be peeking at Fanning.

The two of them looked at each other, and the two of them quickly turned their heads, and Fanning hurriedly lowered his head and continued to write.

Jupe's face was as red as a pig's liver, and for a moment, she kicked Fanning hard underneath.

"Stinky boy, I'm not done with you!" She gritted her teeth and whispered.

.......

Half an hour later, as the bell rang, the students cheered and finally began to take a break.

Everyone rushed out of the classroom, and Ju Pei also packed his school bag, glanced at Fanning, snorted, and walked away.

Fanning suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, after all, he would not be in a good mood if his relationship with his table mates was cold for several days.

It's still precious!
