Chapter 21 The Southwest Shopkeeper

"Look at the horses prepared for you, do you like it or not?"

As soon as Su Zijin followed his grandfather out of the house, he saw a horse that had been pulled over by the butler and waited at the door.

Su Zijin has been practicing archery for half a year, and naturally loves BMW, the horse head of the horse at the moment has a slender neck, muscular, smooth and shiny hair, and shines like a satin luster in the sun, Su Zijin was overjoyed at first sight, and looked at his grandfather beside him.

"This horse is really good, does it have a name?"

Chang Qingzhou shook his head, "No, I'm waiting for you to come up with a good name." ”

Su Zijin nodded happily, "This horse's fur is black and shiny, but its hooves are snow-white." The eyes are clear and proud, as if he knows that he is very handsome, in the face of such a proud horse, you have to use a name to suppress its arrogance, then call it Xiaobai. ”

"Poof", someone next to him laughed out loud when he heard Su Zijin's words.

Su Zijin looked at his grandfather, and the two looked at the smiling woman on the side.

"Old lady Chang, I'm sorry, I didn't hold back my laughter just now. Is this your granddaughter from Kyoto, it's really interesting. ”

A girl in a yellow shirt, with snow-white skin, black hair, and bright apricot eyes, is amiable, although she is not a top beauty that Su Zijin has ever seen, she is also one of the best.

The delicate girl is smiling and thoughtful, which makes people angry.

"It's a jewel, are you going out early in the morning?"

Miss Baozhu smiled, "Old lady Chang, there is a banquet in the Zhou family's courtyard today, and a few of us girls are going to play outside the city." I don't know that Miss Wai is coming in advance, otherwise, I have to post to Miss Wai no matter what. ”

Chang Qingzhou waved his hand, "You girls can talk, our family is a monkey, so I won't bother you." Zijin, let's leave if we see Miss Xue, Shopkeeper Shen has been waiting for a long time. ”

Su Zijin bowed to Xue Baozhu, "I've seen Miss Xue, I have a chance another day, let's talk about it in detail, if there is something today, let's go first." ”

"Miss Sue."

Xue Baozhu bowed slightly.

The two said hello, Su Zijin turned over on his horse, followed his grandfather's carriage, and went to the Deyue Tower in the city. They made an appointment with the shopkeeper Shen in Deyue Building.

When you walk out of the street where the Chang family mansion is located, you will be surrounded by a lively street. Su Zijin rode a horse and followed the sedan chair, looking at the pedestrians and street vendors and shops on both sides, only to feel that the excitement here is different from that of Kyoto, there are more fireworks, and the proportion of people and women is much higher than in Kyoto.

At this time, Changqingzhou seemed to know what Su Zijin was thinking, and lifted the sedan curtain and said to Su Zijin, "Shu County has been prosperous since ancient times, and you can't see Sichuan if you don't enter Shu, what you are talking about is us here." The land here is rich and the products are abundant, unlike other places where men are expected to do heavy work, but here, whether men or women, as long as they are diligent, they will not starve to death. So, you see the streets, the shorts and the gowns, the men and the women, all on the road, all frank and open, without saying who asks who to give way. So you should be careful when you go to see the shopkeeper Shen in a while, people are the shopkeepers, and they have this ability. And those who have the ability have a high morale, only serve those who have the ability, you don't want to serve the owner's shelf, this set may work in Kyoto, but it is not good in Jinguancheng. ”

Su Zijin was made to cry and laugh by her grandfather's sudden instructions, where did she serve the shelf, she has always been easy-going, okay.

"It's ~ grandfather."

Su Zijin replied perfunctorily, she accepted the kind reminders of others, but she didn't like to be pointed out by others.

Seeing his granddaughter's lazy appearance, Chang Qingzhou lowered the curtain and snickered in the carriage.

"This is our Chang family's southwest shopkeeper, Shen Shixi Shen's shopkeeper. Shopkeeper Shen, this is the next successor of our Chang family, my granddaughter Su Zijin. ”

The shopkeeper Shen, who was thin but had a straight back, smiled kindly when he heard this, "Please stay safe." ”

Su Zijin returned the salute, "I've seen the shopkeeper Shen." ”

"Don't stand, it's all your own family, sit." Chang Qingzhou took the lead in taking a seat, and Su Zijin and Shopkeeper Shen both stretched out their hands to invite each other to sit down, and then sat down.

"It's still early now, the private room in Deyue Tower is quite clean at this time, Shopkeeper Shen, you first tell Zijin about the business in the southwest, and if there is something in the future, just report it to her, I will give Zijin full authority to the business of the Chang family."

"Don't you think about it anymore, boss? Shao Dongjia looks smart, but after all, he has not been exposed to this aspect. You still have to take her hand in hand for a while. ”

Shopkeeper Shen spoke unhurriedly, and so did he persuade people, as if he was anxious and didn't seem to care very much.

Chang Qingzhou waved his hand, "I'm almost over the age of six, don't wait, now I'll follow her to stay in Jinguan City for a while, and after a few months, my wife and I will go to Kyoto." At that time, the accounts at the end of the year will be handed over to Zijin to preside over with you. ”

Shopkeeper Shen's gentle face finally showed a trace of worry.

He didn't know that his owner was so anxious, and Su Zijin also wondered, "Grandfather, aren't you afraid that the people below will fool me?" So that our Chang family's business will be scattered and become a king on its own? ”

Chang Qingzhou smiled, "How can it be so easy, the major shopkeepers at this bottom are all personally selected by your grandfather and me, and they are all old people who fight the country together. As long as you are not an idiot who can't read a single word, and know simple number calculations, they won't try to fool you. According to your father's letter, your father said that you have no talent for poetry and songs, and that counting one item is not satisfactory, and that is enough. ”

When his grandfather said this, Su Zijin could only nod, "Okay, you have to hand it over to me yourself, if there is anything in the future, don't feel distressed." ”

The old man simply waved his hand, "It's okay, something happened to the handover account, it's the fault of my subordinates, and it has nothing to do with you." And..."

"And what?"

"Of course, it is important to carry it or not, but don't take it too seriously. The business is our permanent family, and if someone betrays it, replace it. Don't take this test and others hurt yourself. ”

Hearing his grandfather say this, Su Zijin was a little confused, but he still nodded, "Okay, then I'll take it." ”

The two ancestors and grandchildren said lively, and Shen Shixi next to him shook his head with a wry smile, I don't know if these two are knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger? still doesn't let outsiders take himself, so he talks privately in front of himself.

"Miss, let me tell you about a few projects in the southwest business first, you can have a general understanding first."

Shen Shixi said, Su Zijin nodded, "You say." ”

"Our Chang family's business started from Chashan. Later, there were gradually tea houses, as well as caravans for transportation, dart bureaus, only in Jinguan City, there were three tea houses, and there were three tea houses at the foot of the tea mountain. In general, on the southwest side, there are three tea mountains, six tea houses, one caravan, and one dart board. The annual output, the big head is in the tea house, followed by the caravan and the dart board, as for the tea mountain, compared with other businesses, it is just not a loss or a profit, after all, the owner is kind, and the tea farmers are well paid. This is our basic plate, and there are several other shops, paddy fields and mountains, which are rented to other families to collect rent, which is a fixed number every year, and is not within the scope of the year-end account of the southwest business. ”

Su Zijin nodded, "It's not interesting to just listen, Shopkeeper Shen will bring the account books of this year and previous years, I'll take a look at the account books first, and after I have the basic concepts, I'll ask Shopkeeper Shen to take a look at it another day." Always be aware of it. ”

Shopkeeper Shen nodded, "Okay, Shaodong, when I go back to tidy up, I will send it to your home tomorrow." ”

"Okay, you know each other today, eat dim sum for a while, after eating, I will lead you around a few shops in the city, look at the city first, and then see the tea mountain outside the city another day."

My grandfather, Chang Qingzhou, can see from yesterday's explanation to himself that he is a neat and simple person. Now that the two of them said yes, they will take Su Zijin and the two out to check.

Su Zijin Shen got up, "Let's go, let's go around first." ”
