At noon the next day.

Li Lu, Liu Ming, and Peng Yuanguan gathered around the table.

Look at this note.

Liu Ming can be sure that this note was left by the thief who entered last night.

But what it represents, he doesn't know.

"You say, did the person who brought the note help us or harm us?"

Peng Yuanguan asked.

"I don't think it's like it's harming us," Liu Ming explained, "Otherwise, you and I were powerless to have such a good opportunity last night, wouldn't it be more convenient for him to just slaughter the two of us?"

"It's hard to say," Li Lu interjected, "There is nothing to offer, either a woman is a thief, this person sent a note inexplicably, I think it is more likely to harm us."

The three of them were discussing, and Chen Qing suddenly ran up: "The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper, Zhang Yuan has come outside."

"Huh? Why did he come all of a sudden?"

Liu Ming was surprised.

"He said you made an appointment with him, and he came to see the land."

"Ahh

Liu Ming slapped his head and hurriedly ran downstairs.

Zhang Yuanwai helped him a lot before, and he also promised to give Zhang Yuanwai an acre of land to do business.

After a few months, I put this matter behind me.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuanwai personally came to the door.

Liu Ming trotted, hurriedly went downstairs, ran to Zhang Yuanwai and arched his hand: "Zhang Yuanwai, you see this matter, I should have come to the door to invite you in person, but there have been too many things recently, I really don't have time, don't blame me."

Zhang Yuanwai, who hadn't seen him for a long time, was fat, his face was ruddy, and he smiled like a bodhisattva: "Hey, don't be like this, the shopkeeper, our friendship is not to, not to."

He laughed, pulled out a chair, sat down, and said, "Shopkeeper, what about the shop, you see?"

"It's okay, I said you'll always be my friend of Liu Ji, and that's still counting."

After that, Liu Ming called a junior who ran the hall and said, "Go up and find the boss of the peng, and ask him to take down our map of Liu Ji."

Xiao Er staggered upstairs, and after a little effort, he saw Peng Yuanguan coming down with a map in his hand.

He trotted over, spread out the map on the table, and said, "Lao Zhang, the surname Peng has changed his past, our past grievances will be written off today, how about it?"

"That's not going to work."

Zhang Yuanwai smiled and waved his hand, "You have to at least send me something, otherwise I can't forgive you."

Peng Yuanguan also smiled and said, "Just say what you want."

"How about a pound of stuffed fruit and brandy in your store, one pound of each?"

Seeing that Peng Yuanguan frowned and didn't answer, Zhang Yuanwai was a little worried and said, "Half a catty is fine, half a catty is fine."

Peng Yuanguan still didn't answer, and Zhang Yuanwai's voice became smaller: "Mingyang is out of wine......

"Honestly, we don't have much alcohol left." Peng Yuan looked at Zhengse and said, "But there is still a wine with your old Zhang Yi and a grudge, and there are still people with the surname Peng."

After that, he grabbed Xiao Er and said, "Go to my room, take down all the wine I have stored, and carry it to the carriage."

"Hey, this can't be ......" Zhang Yuanwai stood up and waved his hands one after another, "Too much, too much......

Liu Ming pulled his sleeve and said, "Friends are sincere from afar, you just take it."

"Okay...... Zhang Yuanwai arched his hand, "Then thank you Brother Peng."

As soon as this brother came out, the grudge was settled.

Peng Yuanguan happily pointed to the map and said, "The place where the circle is drawn has been used, and you can choose the place where the circle is not drawn."

"What else do I choose?"

Zhang Yuanwai pulled the map open, pointed to the gate and said, "The land on the other side, how about it?"

"Puff ......"

Liu Ming couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Yuanwai was puzzled.

"I just did

I was thinking, Zhang Yuanwai has such a big business, I guess I would choose that position, but I didn't expect you to be so decisive, hahahaha......

Liu Ming stood up while laughing, and said, "That piece of land has always been kept for you."

"Then thank you to the shopkeeper, I'll send someone over tomorrow and start setting up the shop, how about it?" Zhang Yuanwai asked.

"Why bother," Liu Ming interrupted, "There are farmers in the back, you ask them to build a shop for you, and the wages will be negotiated by yourself, won't it?"

Although it is only a small amount of money, whoever earns this money will make it, but Liu Ming still hopes that the farmers behind him can earn it.

"The shopkeeper has spoken, so do as you wish."

Zhang Yuanwai's words changed and said tentatively: "That place rests ......."

"You can use the land as you like, you don't have to give me money, but you pay the taxes yourself, how about it?"

Don't have to give rest?

Zhang Yuanwai was stunned.

His own family has opened many garment shops, and there are garment shops in Mingyang County, as well as surrounding villages and towns.

In this business, not only can he not lose money but also make money, all thanks to his keen business vision.

The location of the land he values now is extremely important.

If you count the Liu Kee restaurant and all the land behind it, it is counted as a living area.

This location is the main passage.

One acre is not big, but it is nine zhang long and six zhang wide.

But even in a poor county like Mingyang, a shop on one acre of land on the main street will have at least twenty taels of silver per month.

A big shop like Bazhen Lou has a monthly interest rate of two silver.

According to Zhang Yuanwai's own estimate, the monthly interest here is acceptable to him within the silver.

The ready-made clothes in his shop, better silk, are about two taels of silver, and cheaper coarse linen clothes are two or three hundred dollars.

Just relying on the financiers of Dongcheng who come and go every day, it is not too easy to earn it back.

Not to mention that there are 2,000 peasants behind them, who have earned money and want to return to their hometowns.

When you return to your hometown, you can't go home empty-handed, and buying a few decent new clothes for your parents, wife and children is the least.

He originally wanted to have a good relationship with Liu Ming and take advantage of the land.

But what I didn't expect was that Liu Ming didn't accept it at all.

He was even a little embarrassed.

However, Liu Ming said with a big grin: "You have a friend who has no clothes, and you ask for a piece of clothing, can you collect money?"

"Of course not."

"I can't take money from my friends," Liu Ming said as a matter of course: "Zhang Yuanwai, you have taken care of my business every day since the opening of my Liu Kee Noodle Restaurant, I remember this, the day my noodle restaurant burned down, you blocked so much trouble for me, these, I also remember, when Liu Kee Restaurant opened, you were the first to come to support my market, these, I still remember."

"Without you, it's hard to say whether I, Liu Ming, would be able to have today."

After that, he made a gesture to Zhang Yuanwai: "Liu Ming is not ungrateful, there is an acre of land opposite Liu Ji Restaurant, please Zhang Yuanwai smile."

Deeply moved by Liu Ming's sincerity, Zhang Yuanwai's eyes turned red.

He choked up a little and said, "Okay, well, it's not in vain that I support you so much......
