"Anyone hanging around here? You brothers, how can you be sure you're coming to my house?"

It's not that Chu Yi is suspicious by nature, it's just that there are mostly shops doing business in this neighborhood, and there will naturally be more thieves who step on this neighborhood before and after the New Year.

Moreover, my family has been cleaning and tidying up for the past few days, and I haven't found anything unusual in my home.

The two brothers were begging for a living on the streets, and the days of fighting together were not short, although they were very pitiful at a young age, so they had to be on guard, after all, they had never mentioned who they were that day.

The young man didn't seem to hear the doubts in Chu Yi's words, and just said everything he knew by himself.

It turned out that the brothers didn't know the identities of the little couple at first, but after Chu Yi and they left the bun shop that day, they listened to the chatter between Boss Zhou and his mother-in-law in the bun shop, and only then did they know that Fang had just bought buns for themselves, and the one who gave them the money was the owner of the paper money shop at the corner of the street.

The brothers are different from the beggars in this county, who are gangs and gangs, they don't want to do those things that fight for territory and fight in groups, they just want to survive in this county.

Fortunately, they are all small and never cause trouble, and those beggar gangs don't care much about them.

The brothers were very grateful to Chu Yi for his help that day, but they couldn't repay it, so they wanted to come to the door to pay a New Year's greeting to their benefactor on the day of the thirtieth day, but who knew that they found that the shop had already been locked.

It was also on that day that they found that there seemed to be more than the two of them who came to this shop to find people.

Two young men dressed as entourage, one step ahead of them in front of the Chu family's shop, looked inside through the crack in the door, heard footsteps behind them, and didn't even look back, so they ran straight to the intersection.

The brothers also followed for some reason, and saw that the two people dressed as entourages, one holding the other, was lying on the side of the courtyard wall of the east courtyard of the Chu family, looking towards the courtyard.

The brothers didn't dare to show their heads, but in the end, they were the ones who were more clever and threw a stone over, scaring the two away.

The benefactor's family seemed to be remembered, and the little brothers were uneasy, and then for a while, they came to walk around here when they had nothing to do, and sure enough, they could meet those two people eight times out of ten, and they didn't appear again until after the Lantern Festival.

After that, the brothers didn't come so often, and only came every few days to see if anyone came back, so that they could tell Chu Yi about it.

It wasn't until today that I found that the big lock on the door of the shop had disappeared, so I tried to enter the shop.

Chu Yi nodded and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Xue Changfeng, my brother's name is Xue Changlin, we are from a good family, different from those people."

As if he was afraid that Chu Yi would not believe in himself, Xue Changfeng emphasized.

Chu Yi patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Changfeng, Changlin, thank you."

The little couple originally took the silver money and wanted to give it to the two brothers, but Xue Changfeng looked at it, hesitated for a while, then withdrew the hand that had been stretched out, and shook his head: "The boss gave me last time, we can't ask for this money."

As soon as these words came out, the little couple also felt that this move seemed to be a little inappropriate, they meant well, but now they are afraid that the teenager misunderstands them and thinks that they are here to ask for money, so they will behave like this.

Shen Luzhu no longer insisted, and instead said, "There are some details, we still want to talk to you again, it looks like it's almost noon, the two little brothers might as well stay at home and have a light meal together, and help us by the way."

This time, the little brothers didn't refuse directly, but they just looked a little cramped, and finally nodded and responded.

Lunch was eaten in the hall in the backyard, Shen Luzhu cooked a few specialty dishes, and Chu Yi ordered two laborious meat dishes from a nearby restaurant, braised elbow with sauce and salt-baked chicken.

During the meal, the little couple symbolically asked a few more details about the two people who spied on their house.

After the meal, Shen Luzhu saw that the two of them were a little thinly dressed, so he took two old jackets of Chu Li and gave them to the little brothers, and then sent them out of their yard.

For the two people who spied on their house, the little couple didn't have a direction to think about it, so they took advantage of the fact that there was no business in the afternoon, and went to the left and right streets

Fang Na inquired, but no one was impressed by this.

The little couple can only give up, after all, they have no loss and no evidence, so they can't go to the government to report the case like this.

In the end, I can only tell my family to pay more attention when entering and leaving, but fortunately, it is said that after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, those two people have not appeared again, and there is no need to worry too much about it now.

A few days later, nothing new happened in the shop in the east courtyard of the county, but the second child of Lin Ji's funeral was ordered to come here.

It was the first time for Brother Lin to go to the Chu family shop in the county, and he looked left and right to enter the house, and after seeing the people at the counter clearly, he stepped forward with a smile: "Boss Chu, boss lady, business is booming!"

"Brother Lin, why are you free to come over today, but what's the matter with Boss Lin?"

Brother Lin took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Chu Yi: "The owner of my family carefully studied the paper bundle that Boss Chu entrusted someone to bring over, and said that your husband and wife are really ingenious, this is the reply letter that the owner asked me to bring to you, you can take it."

Chu Yi took the envelope with both hands, and didn't open it immediately to look at it, but first asked about the other party's return date: "When does Brother Lin plan to go back to town?"

"This is not in a hurry, the small one still has to do some side things for the owner, and it is estimated that it will be delayed for two to three days before he can turn back, but Boss Chu has something to tell the small one?"

Chu Yi waved his hand and said, "I don't dare to instruct, I just thought that if Little Brother Lin is not in a hurry to go back, can you help me bring back the reply letter to Boss Lin?"

"What's wrong with this, the owner can receive Boss Chu's reply earlier, and I'm happy to come."

Chu Yi bowed his hand to express his gratitude: "Then there will be more Little Brother Lin."

"Boss Chu doesn't have to be polite, the small ones should do it. By the way, there is another thing, the owner asked me to bring a message to Boss Chu, the carriage that I told you last time can be completed in the next few days, and the next time the little brother of the Jiang family comes to deliver the goods, it should be delivered together."

After getting this news, the little couple was very happy, and it was much more convenient to travel and do things at home with the carriage.

Brother Lin was going to do something for Lin Ting, and after passing the word, he left the Chu family's shop first, and the little couple opened Lin Ting's letter.

Lin Ting first expressed his concern for the Chu family in the letter, and then expressed his amazement at the paper tie, and then said that after reading Chu Yi's explanation of the paper tie in the letter, he was very optimistic about the future prospects of the paper tie trade, and felt that it was only a matter of time before the trade was booming.

Later, they once again expressed their intention to Lin Ji and the little couple to cooperate in opening a workshop in the county seat, and asked the little couple about the results of the discussion.

He also said that if he felt that there were no other problems on the side of the little couple, he could then slowly find a place to open a workshop, although this paper workshop was still in a hurry for a while, but if he could prepare in advance, he could save some effort and energy, and put his mind on making paper.

In the end, I hope that Chu Yi can reply to him as soon as possible.

The little couple was not ambiguous, and after reading, they found a pen and paper and began to reply.

and Lin Ting cooperated to set up a paper making workshop, and the young couple naturally agreed, but they had some different opinions on funding and distribution.

Lin Ting's plan was that he would contribute all the funds, the Chu family would contribute the technology, and the profits would be divided into fifty or a half, which was equivalent to half of the ownership of the workshop held by each of the two families.

Although this distribution is the simplest and fairest, if the workshop wants to develop stably for a long time in the future, it will inevitably bring many hidden dangers.

For example, the Chu family's technology of making paper is basically a one-time output, and it is common for the apprentice to starve the master to death, if the Lin family completely masters the method of making paper in the future, then the Chu family will be pushed away, and the Chu family, who has never contributed funds, it will be difficult to prove their exclusive right to the paper method, and the interests cannot be guaranteed.

For example, this paper workshop, just like the workshop in the backyard of the Chu family's old house, is bound to gradually expand with the boom of business in the future.

The little couple has always liked the villain first and then the gentleman, rather than hiding it now, and making trouble in the future because of the interests of the two families, it is better to be all at the beginning

It's good to spread out and make it clear.

Two days later, Lin Ji's junior came to the door again and took Chu Yi's reply with him.

Lin Ting is also a cheerful person, who knew that on the second day, he personally went to the funeral of Chu Ji in the county seat, and came to discuss with the young couple about the paper workshop.

The two sides discussed the contribution and distribution of the workshop for a long time, and also expressed their respective considerations and concerns one by one, bargained for a long time, and finally settled on a capital contribution and sharing plan that was satisfactory to both parties, and signed the contract directly.

The two sides agreed to establish a paper workshop after the paper trading was on the right track, and the Chu family would provide technology and 20% of the funds, and Lin would record the remaining 80% of the funds.

The profit is divided into ten parts, which are settled every month, the Chu family takes five, Lin Ji takes three, and the remaining two percent are reserved for the capital of the workshop to continue to operate.

After finally deciding on the cooperation plan, the young couple made the east and invited Lin Ting back in the restaurant in the county seat, and the two sides were commensurate with each other, and the relationship became closer for a while.

Later, when Jiang Quan came to the county seat again to deliver goods, he rushed over with the carriage that Chu Yi Tuolinting helped buy.

This is a tall and sturdy jujube red horse, with a body of tendon flesh, long and solid limbs, and a shiny coat and a deep and broad chest, even if anyone who does not wait for a horse to look at it, he will know that it is a good horse.

It was equipped with a wooden four-wheeled carriage with a tall and spacious carriage in front of it that the coachman sat on, and a cornice for luggage tools in the back.

Inside, there are seats for people to sit on three sides along the walls, and there are windows and curtains.

Chu Yi found a place in the backyard of the West Courtyard and built a horse shed, in which the red horse was kept on weekdays, and the carriage was also parked in the West Courtyard.

This "new member" of the Chu family, although he is strong and extraordinary, has a docile personality, and he has become a new playmate within a few days.

It seems that he also recognized the "big brother" of the raccoon flower, and let it be used as a blessing on his own territory and body.

In the horse shed in the west courtyard of the Chu family, you can not only see the raccoon flower drinking water from the jujube red horse's drinking trough, but you can even see it using the trough to clean its paws.

The little couple had even seen with their own eyes that the raccoon flower was lying on the back of the jujube red horse like a queen, condescendingly, as if inspecting the territory.

And often at this time, Zhengzheng will jump and jump below, eager to jump up with the raccoon.
