Rent collection is a private name.

Talisman is a kind of consumable, especially the fire talisman, the magic talisman, the lighting talisman and so on, these talismans are closely related to life, after all, cooking and cooking, traveling, etc.

And the Gu family is a big household that provides all kinds of talismans to the people of the town, and will regularly collect talismans from door to door.

Although the rune master of the rune hall can also make talismans, the ability of one person to make talismans is limited after all. It is even more impossible to provide it to the people of the whole town, even if it can produce ten pieces a day, it is still not enough for more than a dozen households. Some large families can ask the talisman maker to make their own talismans, but the ordinary people do not have this kind of treatment, so they can only ask the Gu family to buy it.

For this reason, the Gu family raised dozens of talisman makers who specialized in talisman making.

There are autocratic fire talismans and autocratic lighting talismans, the division of labor is clear, and the system is more efficient.

This is a bit like the assembly line production in the previous life, which has constituted a very mature business model. This was originally a good thing for the people of Greenwillow Town, and it was convenient for everyone.

But the mistake is that the Gu family used this as a threat to sit on the ground and raise the price.

The price of this talisman has changed over the past few months, and the price of the talisman has risen gradually. In this era, there is no concept of competition, and the Fu of the entire Green Willow Town has basically been monopolized by the Gu family. Some people went to Futang to buy it privately, and when the Gu family found out, they would be beaten and scolded.

Therefore, in private, many people dare to be angry but dare not speak.

Wang Xi has also heard of the Gu family's approach. But it was the first time I saw it in person.

Fu Bo's face was a little ugly, and after drinking the wine in the cup, he looked at the big man: "Steward Tang, can you come back tomorrow, there are distinguished customers in the small shop today——"

"What a distinguished guest, a poor boy!"

The soup steward with a long beard directly interrupted Fu Bo's words, "Give me a happy word, you old boy has been procrastinating again and again, I can't explain to the chief steward of the Gu family!"

"This ......"

Fu Bo wanted to speak and stopped, Wang Xi saw it on the side, and immediately knew in his heart.

Wang Xi of this restaurant is also doing miscellaneous here, and the profitability is probably understood, except for the word bleak, there is nothing else. Excluding daily expenses, there is basically not much left. There are many daily talismans to be used in restaurants, including fire talismans, lighting talismans, ice talismans and so on.

Therefore, the consumption of Fu Zheng is the main expense of the restaurant.

Steward Tang's face was dark, and when he looked at Fu Bo's appearance, his voice suddenly became a little urned: "No, no, I'm really difficult to do now!"

As he spoke, he was not polite at all, picked up a piece of beef, a plate of peanuts and wine, and drank and ate it alone.

"Steward Tang, please forgive me a few more days, the little old man is going to pack up the upstairs and go out, so that he can collect some rent money and pay for this talisman!" Fu Bo stood up tremblingly, walked to Steward Tang's side, and said with some flattery.

"Grace?"

The soup steward squinted, took a sip of wine, and suddenly squirted out all of it, squirting all over Fu Bo's face.

"How can you let me be lenient? In a few days, but it will be another three months of collecting money, and this has not been given before, and your old boy's account is very shrewd!"

"Huh?"

This time, Wang Xi really couldn't stand it, this Gu family dog used human power, and he didn't take people seriously. He stood up and strode in front of Steward Tang, staring at the big man with an angry face, his fists clenched to death.

"What's the matter, looking at your unconvinced face, you still want to stand out for this dead old man!" Steward Tang jokingly looked at Wang Xi from top to bottom, and immediately laughed, "Haha, your small body with thin arms and legs is not enough for me to smash a punch." The smell of milk has not dried up and you have come to give someone else a head, you little ghost, you don't know how to write a dead word!"

In the last sentence, Steward Tang's face suddenly changed, and a fierce aura rushed towards Wang Xi.

Step on!

Wang Xi took a step back, but he quickly stabilized his center of gravity. He scolded loudly: "Beat the talisman maker, who gave you this guts?"

This sound was loud, and it calmed the soup steward.

This guy's originally fierce expression instantly restrained a little, and then he couldn't believe it: "You are a talisman maker?"

looked at Wang Xi again, but compared several talisman makers of the Gu family in his heart, and a trace of ruthlessness suddenly appeared on his face: "Boy, dare to play your Tang Ye, I think you are tired of living!"

After speaking, as soon as he stretched out his big hand, he was ready to choke Wang Xi's throat.

Swish!

Wang Xi instantly took out the clothes of the talisman apprentice from the talisman bag behind him: "You have to take another step forward, today's gate is not so easy to step out!"

The clothes engraved with the words "Luliu Town Futang" suddenly caught the eyes of the soup steward. His outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

He had seen this dress.

Several little ancestors of the Gu family are dressed like babies every day...... Could it be that this kid is really a talisman maker.

If you look away and beat a talisman maker, you won't be able to take the consequences, even if you have the backer of the Gu family.

"But I saw that Your Excellency is actually a talisman maker. Steward Tang obviously flinched a little, and his original arrogance was also reined in, "But the talisman master, you have to talk about this reason, right?" This old boy owes the Gu family three months' money, I'm just an errand runner, how can you ask me to explain to the above?"

Steward Tang was obviously not completely reckless, and seeing that he couldn't bluff, he had to carry the Gu family out.

"How much is in arrears?" Wang Xi asked.

"1000 runestone fragments!"

"Isn't it 500, why did it rise so much all at once...... Fu Bo's face was a little ugly, and he didn't care about wiping the wine stains on his face, looking anxious.

"Your old boy has been in arrears for more than three months, and you don't want interest, you are a charity hall when we are our Gu family?"

Steward Tang was polite to Wang Xi, but it didn't mean that he would be so polite to anyone.

"Okay, just 1,000 broken crystals. Three days later, you come here to get it, I'll wait for you here!" Fu Bo just wanted to step forward to theorize, Wang Xi pinched his arm and signaled him not to speak.

"This?" Steward Tang was a little embarrassed.

"What, you don't believe my words?" Wang Xi's tone was a little aggravated.

"No, of course not. It's just—" Steward Tang didn't say any more, but his eyes looked at the account book at the front desk of the restaurant.

"Okay, I'll write you a note, and in three days, I'll give you the money, and you give me the note!"

Wang Xi walked to the front desk, picked up a blank piece of paper, dipped it in ink and wrote.

"Hehe, it's no problem now, I'm better to go up and make an errand...... Little brother knows that you are a trustworthy person when you look at your face, and in three days, we will see you and leave!"

stepped forward and patted Fauber's shoulder, smiled contemptuously, turned his head and stepped out of the door of the restaurant!

"Xi'er, come here!"

From beginning to end, Wang Xi signaled Wang Yuan with his eyes not to speak, and Wang Yuan knew what he was thinking.

"Grandpa!"

"I understand what you mean, but you have to be clear, who gave us our lives? The grace of saving lives should be repaid by the springs! Your father's illness is not a day or two, relying on this rune crystal to buy a healing talisman to continue his life, the effect is very small!"

The conversation between the two was in front of Fauber.

Fauber sat there with a sad face at this time, looking uncertain.

"The boy of the Wang family, I would rather break my bones than lose my reputation! Our family owes Fu Bo a lot, since we can help, we must come forward, understand?"

Wang Yuan patted Wang Xi's shoulder heavily, then took out the talisman money from his arms and threw it on the table: "Old Futou, I ordered it here, there are about seven hundred and fifty broken crystals, and if you calculate the second real estate, it is almost enough!"

"Huh?"

Fu Bo was stunned for a moment, then he understood, and his face changed suddenly: "Brother, don't you make me feel uneasy for the rest of my life? This is the money that Xiao Wang Xi usually earns hard to prolong his father's life, what is the matter with you giving me this!"

"Take it, take it!"

Fu Bohuo got up and stuffed the talisman bag into Wang Yuan's arms.

"Fu Bo, you take it, I was selfish just now, I'm sorry!" Wang Xi looked ashamed and stuffed the talisman money tightly to Fu Bo.

The two kept stalemate and didn't let go!

"Old Futou, take it! We are a family, we can't owe you a lifetime...... Wang Gan's illness, I really don't have any hope, what effect can this rune crystal play in extending his life?"

Wang Yuan looked at Fu Bo with heavy eyes, "You call me brother, today my brother will put down his words, if you don't accept it, our family will move out of the restaurant overnight!"

"Hey, brother, aren't you embarrassed for me?" Fu Bo looked at Wang Yuan with an unusually complicated look.

"You think I don't know, you don't think about drinking here for tea and dinner every day these days, and you probably want to sell this wine building, and then come to repay this money, don't you?"

"You can see it...... Huh!" Fauber laughed bitterly.

"How can this work, this restaurant is the work of your life, Fu Bo!" Wang Xi couldn't help but say on the side.

"What's the hard work, it's all fate!" Fu Bo smiled at the two of them, but a trace of loneliness inevitably flashed in his eyes, "The main thing is that I have also estimated, and if this restaurant continues to operate, it will also be a loss!"

"In that case, it's better to sell it as soon as possible!"

"But—"

"But what, nothing. You Fubo and I have experienced ups and downs in my life, I haven't seen any battles, this is fate!"

Wang Xi wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end, the words rested in his throat and still didn't come out, he knew that it was useless to say more. The old man was stubborn, but the eight cows couldn't pull it back.

It's just that the old man of this restaurant has been in business for dozens of years, and it can be said that he is more important than his life.

He has been a single man all his life, and the restaurant is his home, Wang Xi really doesn't know what kind of environment the old man should spend the rest of his life in if this restaurant is sold.

"The restaurant must not be sold, and whatever you say must be supported!"

Wang Yuan gritted his teeth, "It's a big deal, the restaurant is closed, Wang Qian and I live downstairs, and the second floor goes out!"

"No way!"

Wang Xi and Fu Bo said in unison.

Fu Bo then said: "I still have a little balance, first give the three days after the talisman money cleared, and then slowly figure out a way!"

"No need, I will take out the remaining rune crystals in three days!"

Wang Xi said categorically, and the other two wanted to speak, but they were stopped by Wang Xi with his eyes.

"You are all so old, where to raise money, don't forget my identity as an apprentice in talisman making, I will do this thing, don't worry, grandpa, I have a way!"

Wang Yuan nodded, he still knew his grandson's character, and he wouldn't say such a thing if he wasn't completely sure. "Okay, old Futou, don't think about it, since Xi'er has a way, why don't we wait for three days?"

"Hey—what's this called?"

Fauber picked up a cigarette stick and squeaked it, his face gloomy......
