Chapter 240: Buy a shop, give silver
Liu Paner rode a horse, quickly overtook the carriage, and left the city ahead of schedule.
According to the map, Liu Paner came to Heisha Town in the evening and booked a room at the best local inn, Hengxiang Inn. According to the speed of the carriage, Yan's carriage is estimated to arrive tomorrow afternoon.
Before it was time for dinner, I asked the shopkeeper about the more trustworthy people in the town. The shopkeeper introduced one, surnamed Sun, Liu Paner said that he wanted to buy a shop, not big, two shops, and a yard at the back, where people can put things.
Sun Zhongren said to Liu Paner: "There are only so many shops in the town, and the liquidity is very small. I have one on hand, but it's a three-room shop, and it's more expensive. ”
Liu Paner thought for a while and asked, "How much does this shop cost?" ”
Sun Zhongren replied: "There are three shops in front of the door and six houses in the back, and the houses are in good condition. It adds up to a hundred taels of silver! ”
Liu Pan'er nodded: "It's too late today, after breakfast tomorrow, you can take me to have a look!" ”
Sun Zhongren nodded, "Okay, I'll talk about it after seeing it!" ”
It's been another hard day.
After Liu Pan'er came back, she ate, so she ordered water to take a bath, apply the potion, and went back to the house to sleep.
The next day, under the leadership of Sun Zhongren, I looked at the shop.
The house is in good condition and is renovated every year.
The owner of this family sold it because his son's business in the county town had grown big and he had no time to take care of the shop here, and there was no complicated debt dispute.
After some bargaining, Liu Paner finally bought the shop for one hundred and forty taels of silver.
Liu Paner thought that the Yan mother and daughter were doing business in a place where they were not familiar with their lives, and they would inevitably be bullied.
So Liu Paner took advantage of the fact that it was still early, bought some things, and went to visit the mayor of Heisha Town's house.
Liu Paner is the mayor of Jixiang Town, and she is also the famous Mrs. Drey.
The subordinates went in to spread the word, and Mayor Tang hurriedly called Mrs. Shang to see Liu Paner together.
Mayor Tang didn't dare to slack off, and his attitude was quite respectful, "Mrs. Derui came to the door, my family is full of luxury, I don't know what Mrs. has to do?" ”
Liu Pan'er didn't go around in circles, and said with a smile: "My family has opened a dyeing workshop, so I want to open a shop in Heisha Town, and the two people I hired will arrive this afternoon." You are the mayor of the town, and you have come to seek the attention of Mayor Tang. ”
When Mayor Tang heard this, he happily responded, "Rest assured, Mrs. Drey, your shop in the town will definitely not be disturbed by anyone, and the most preferential taxes will be given." ”
Liu Paner thanked her, her family's fabrics are of good quality, and business is not worried, "Just collect taxes as usual, we follow the rules of Heisha Town, you don't have to be polite." ”
Many people attach great importance to Liu Paner as Mrs. Derui, who was personally named by His Majesty, and she has a five-quality fate.
For some of Liu Paner's requests, I can help.
What's more, Liu Paner's request was not excessive, they pushed the boat down the river and got Liu Paner's favor.
Mrs. Tang is in her forties, very tall, and not fat.
Although he is not good at talking, he greets Liu Paner in all aspects.
When she came out of Mayor Tang's house, Liu Paner bought another futon and asked her to send it directly.
In the evening, Liu Paner came to Hengxiang Inn, and Yan happened to arrive.
Liu Paner paid the rest of the money to the coachman, and then took Yan and Li Mei to the newly bought shop.
Standing in front of the shop, Li Meixi couldn't help but be happy, "Mother, this is the shop that Aunt Liu bought!" ”
Yan was also very excited, starting over in this place where no one knew them.
Liu Pan'er greeted, "Don't stand outside, come in quickly." The bedding I bought for you has been put in the room, and I have cleaned it quickly, and you will stay here at night. ”
Yan and Li Mei were very diligent, fetching water and holding a rag, wiping them inside and out.
Liu Paner went out, bought firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and put it in the kitchen.
Yan asked her daughter to rest, and she went to cook.
Li Mei didn't want to rest, so she lit a fire for her mother.
After a while, two dishes and one soup were served, and white rice was served.
Liu Paner likes to talk about things at the dinner table, "Sister Yan, I will take you to settle down tomorrow, just say that you are a homeless and come to my house to work." Ready to change your name? ”
Yan thought for a while and shook his head, "I still have my surname Yan, and Amei has changed my surname to Yan Xiaomei." Is that okay? ”
Liu Pan'er nodded, "Okay, of course." The shop is worth one hundred and forty taels of silver, and I will write an IOU later, and I will lend it to you. When you make money, give it back to me. ”
After careful consideration, the Yan family felt that they could not take advantage of Liu Paner.
A man must do his duty, not be greedy.
Liu Paner ransomed them out of the Qinglou and returned the favor she had for saving Li Xiaobao before.
The current shop, she can't accept it with peace of mind.
Yan replied: "Sister Liu, I know that if you do this, I will take advantage of it, but I can't ask for it." Although it will be exchanged for silver in the future, it will take too much advantage of you. In this way, this shop is yours, and Amei and I are your hired hands. You see, just give us some wages. ”
Liu Pan'er was stunned for a moment, thinking that the Yan family didn't want to take the risk of opening a shop, and she was not reluctant, so she nodded, "If you are willing to choose this way, that's fine." The cost of running the shop is all mine. Now I will give you one tael of silver a month, and give Ah Mei five hundred wen. If the business is good, there will be a bonus every month. You live in the shop, and you have to watch the goods, and then subsidize you 500 yuan. ”
In this way, the Yan family can have an income of two taels of silver a month, and they can live a good life in the town.
"Sister Liu, it's very good like this, don't worry, I will definitely learn to do business hard." Yan assured that he is full of expectations for the hard-won life.
Originally, Liu Paner was going to live in the inn, but Yan cleaned up the room, she and her daughter lived in one room, and Liu Paner lived in Yan Xiaomei's room.
The next day, the settlement and contract were completed, and Liu Paner left them some silver.
This silver, this silver is the silver left over from the sale of Yan's mother and daughter, and it should be given to them.
Yan didn't want it, shook his head and refused, "Sister Liu, you have already given enough, you can't give it anymore." ”
Liu Pan'er insisted, "Sister Yan, you must take this silver, it's not my silver, it's the silver I asked people to get from Mrs. Li." You should know where the money comes from. Do you think that if I help you, I will ask you and Amei for the money they sold? ”
Yan's eyes, who originally wanted to refuse, widened his eyes, opened his mouth, his eyes were sour, and finally accepted it, "Third brother and sister, thank you." ”
"No, put it away and keep it in your hand for a rainy day." Liu Pan'er said softly, "Buy some medicine to remove scars and see if the scars on your face can be removed." Amei is still young, and it's still too early to prepare a dowry, so you don't have to save it. ”
Yan thanked him again and again.
After arranging the Yan family's mother and daughter, Liu Paner hurried back.
Suddenly so many people came, Liu Paner was not at ease, to prevent someone from making trouble and destroying the hard-won good life of Jixiang Village and Jixiang Town.
