Lin Tao didn't expect that there was such a shop in this town!

couldn't help but make her look at the young man in front of her carefully.

On his face, there was no hypocrisy, calm and sincere.

Although there were no patches on his clothes, some fine lines of whitish color appeared due to the long patting and laundry.

Seriously, with the clothes he was wearing, let alone comparing with the old man in the official salt shop. Even the two guys of the stool and the table can't compare.

Looking at that smiling face, Lin Tao noticed that there were some gray-black dots between his yellowed teeth.

This Lin Tao is all too familiar, only by cleaning the teeth with plant ash, will there be some plant ash between the teeth that has not been rinsed.

You must know that everyone who is not poor will buy tooth powder to clean their teeth in the hospital.

Tooth powder is a fine powder made by grinding Chinese herbs.

After grinding into powder, it has to be sifted.

Tooth powder not only cleans the mouth, but also keeps the teeth from yellowing or blackening.

It will not leave an unsightly gray-black color between the teeth.

Lin Tao turned his head and looked at the shop.

The furnishings are exquisite, but you can tell at a glance that they are old.

Supposedly, those who can afford to open a shop in the town will not be like this!

The curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man in a patched single shirt came in with his body leaned in.

"Yo, there's a customer in the shopkeeper's store, then, I'll wait outside." The man with a blue face and a black face from the cold was about to turn around and go out again.

Shopkeeper Xu compensated her for something, chased after her and stopped her.

"What does Brother Wang need?"

The man embarrassedly licked the corners of his mouth with ice stubble, and whispered, "I—Can I borrow some more food." When the snow stops and there are buns to carry, I will be able to pay you back. ”

"That's right! I'll ask Little Plum to load you with a few liters of grain. Alas! Brother Wang, don't be too little, I don't have much food left in this shop. ”

The man nodded again and again and thanked him, and after a while, he thanked him for a while after getting the food before leaving.

"Shopkeeper Xu is still a bodhisattva-hearted person!" Lin Tao quipped.

For those who have the potential to become partners later, she of course chooses carefully.

After all, the person who can make a fortune with you is most likely the one who will stab you in the back.

This is also the reason why she didn't continue to negotiate with the official salt shop.

"Heh, hehe." Shopkeeper Xu smiled calmly: "When my father ran this small shop, he had an accident! Thanks to the nearby villagers who came forward, my family's shop has been able to do so far. ”

"When my father left, he repeatedly explained that he should be a man who knows how to repay his kindness, and he must not be fooled by interests. Now that the world is difficult, I have this ability, and I can help a little. ”

Lin Tao nodded in satisfaction.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get something for you to see."

"It's cold outside, otherwise, the old lady will give me a handover, and I'll get it."

Lin Tao shook his head and left.

Fetching things is not the point.

As soon as he came out, he asked Zhu: "Where did the man who came out just now go?" ”

Zhu pointed to the small alley not far ahead.

"Look at the good things, and shout loudly when there is something."

Watching the old lady leave, Zhu was inexplicably panicked.

I wanted to ask, but I didn't dare to ask.

The mouth was open, but no sound came out.

Since her mother has confessed, she has to do a good job.

I took out the kitchen knife hidden in the car, and held it tightly in my hand, alerting the movement around me.

Here, when Lin Tao entered the alley, he saw the back of the man walking in the alley, so he followed.

The man turned through a small door at the end of the alley.

Lin Tao looked at the walls on both sides, and with the help of the opposite wall, he easily picked up the wall.

Leaning inside, an old woman came out of the floor, coughing and wheezing.

"It's still a good shopkeeper."

"Hey! Mother, it's all because my son is incompetent. ”

"Silly boy, on this snowy day, even if you have the ability, you can't afford to eat. You, and remember the love of the shopkeeper Xu, if he needs it in the future, even if he risks his life, he will have to pay it back. ”

"Alas! Mother rest assured! If you really want to be like back then, dare to have the idea of beating the shopkeeper Xu, I will go out with a knife every time! ”

The old woman nodded in satisfaction.

At that moment, there was a cry of a baby in the house.

"Quick, my grandson is hungry and crying, you hurry up and bring water."

The man handed the grain to the old woman and turned away.

The old woman trembled and walked into the house, babbling out, "God, give me a way to live!" Yue'er doesn't stutter, she can't even feed milk, how can the baby live! ”

Seeing this, Lin Tao jumped down the wall and walked quickly back to the ox cart.

Seeing that Zhu put the kitchen knife in his hand back on the ox cart, he hurriedly relieved: "Don't worry, there is a mother." ”

Zhu smiled and sniffled.

"Hold on a little longer, we'll sell the salt, and we'll be able to go home."

Zhu nodded.

Lin Tao took a basket of salt and half a basket of charcoal, and entered the grocery store again.

Taking advantage of the time when the shopkeeper Xu was looking at the goods, Lin Tao took the hot teacup to Zhu's who was watching the car at the door.

When I went back again, I heard the shopkeeper Xu shouting: "Auntie! You're the best official salt! ”

"Yes!"

"This charcoal is not bad either! Just according to the price that the eldest lady said. But here I am...... You may not be able to get that much silver at once. Or wait, I'll count the silver, and buy as much as I can. ”

Before he finished speaking, the man went to the counter.

Lin Tao also laughed.

You said that such a shop can't even take out a few dozen taels of silver.

"Don't count, the salt will be sold to you first. In two or three days, when I bring charcoal, the shopkeeper will give me more money. ”

"This ......" Xu shopkeeper froze in place, for a long time, waved his hand and said: "No, no, no!" That's not a small amount of salt! ”

Lin Tao said straight in his heart: This young man is doing business, and he is really good!

"Is it possible, can you run away because of seventy taels of silver? Anyway, your shop can be worth a hundred or two! What's more, you still have these goods in this shop! ”

The shopkeeper Xu shook his hands and shouted: "Yes! ”

Then he turned around and ran to the back hall.

Lin Tao, who was abandoned, was full of inexplicability.

In the middle of the night, Shopkeeper Xu came out of the back hall, took a small wooden box in his hand, and put it in front of her.

"This is the deed of my shop, and it will be in the hands of the eldest lady first. The next time you come, I'll give me the money, and you can just pay me back the deed. ”

Lin Tao opened the small wooden box and took out the deed to check it.

It not only writes the time of buying the house, the location of the house, the size of the house, the amount of the transaction, but also the official seal of one party.

"Auntie, this thing is going to be in prison for fraud." Shopkeeper Xu pointed to the official seal and said, "This is the official seal of the county government!" If you are not at ease, I will accompany you to the county government to ask. ”

Lin Tao folded it and put it in a wooden box. She doesn't want to explain, bother!

I just opened it and looked at it, but I just wanted to know how much it would cost to buy such a shop.

Unexpectedly, in the eyes of others, it became a test of truth and falsehood.

That's it!

So he replied: "Since you also know that you can't fake it." Okay, then I'll take it. Tell someone to move the goods. ”
