Qu Laohan's face turned white, but he couldn't do anything about Ling Xiaorou, thinking that he would simply leave with one hundred and fifty taels, thinking about Ling Xiaorou's ability to make money against the sky, he was really unwilling, and in the end, he could only continue to stay by Ling Xiaorou's side to see the situation.

After walking for a month, I went around and around during this time, and finally came to Weicheng Mansion, the third largest capital city in the Dayan Kingdom.

Weicheng Mansion is located in the south of Dayan Kingdom, surrounded by the sea on three sides, one side is the land route, although it is not as large as the population of the capital, but the size of the city can definitely be comparable to the capital, although the population can not be compared with the capital, and the surrounding cities are sparsely populated The situation also forms a sharp contrast, it can be said that in the south, Weicheng Mansion is quite prosperous, and the sea is also very prosperous.

Ling Xiaorou's opinion is to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live in seclusion, but Qu Laohan is reluctant to the prosperity of the big city, how long has it been since the days of singing and dancing have passed, if Ling Xiaorou wants to open it one day, he is still looking forward to such a drunken gold fan.

Ling Xiaorou thought about it, and said that it was hidden in the city, maybe Qu Laohan's idea was right, and she could just make money living in the city.

Weicheng Mansion is more than a month away from the capital, and it is also nearly two months away from King Ningyuan's territory, so she must be very safe here.

So, Qu Laohan rented a house in the downtown of Weicheng Mansion for a month at the price of two taels of silver a month, and Ling Xiaorou stayed in Weicheng Mansion with him.

The house is not big, the door is open to the street, and the entrance is the hall, where cooking and eating are located, and the walls have turned black after a long period of smoke and fire.

There is a room on each side, Ling Xiaorou and Qu Laohan have one room, there is not even a yard, not to mention that there is a well, and they have to buy water from the people who push the cart and sell water on the street to drink water on weekdays, a bucket of water is two pennies, it is said that the mountain spring water is transported from the mountain spring outside Weicheng Mansion, but after Qu Laohan's tricky mouth, he believes that this water is drawn from the river outside the city, and he says that he doesn't want to spend these two pennies for unjust money.

He has nothing to do all day long, and there is an idle donkey cart at home, and every day he drives the donkey cart out of the city to fetch water from the mountain spring that others say, and the days are leisurely.

It's just that Qu Laohan is dissatisfied with this small house, the four walls are pitch black, and the house has no roof, which is a noble person like him can live, he used to live in a high-rise mansion, even if he was driven to the village later, he didn't lose anything in terms of food and housing.

I didn't think of the good life he was thinking about, so he ran out, but it was out that Qu Laohan wanted to rent a big room that could be used as a shop, but Ling Xiaorou refused, she didn't want to do day jobs for Qu Laohan, but the money she earned went into Qu Laohan's pocket.

Even if she wants to rent a shop, she rents it quietly, and she must not let Qu Laohan know, as for how much silver and pocket money Qu Laohan can give to him, it can't be higher than that of ordinary old people, she can see it clearly, Qu Laohan is really not too respectful.

In the end, Qu Laohan felt sorry for his silver again, thinking that he would simply rent it for a month, in case Ling Xiaorou couldn't find a way to make money within a month, he would take the silver and fly away, but he couldn't lose all the money on his body here.

His little bit of caution, Ling Xiaorou naturally thought it through, sometimes she really wondered if Qu Laohan was her father, how could he be such a calculating daughter as a father, and even she had begun to doubt Qu Laohan's life experience.

A few times Ling Xiaorou seemed to inadvertently mention King Ningyuan, Qu Laohan's face was calm, like when he heard the enemy who killed his family

Ling Xiaorou paid attention to Qu Laohan, and it was impossible to tell Qu Laohan everything.

Ling Xiaorou still had a few thousand taels of silver tickets on her body, and after settling down, Ling Xiaorou excused herself to go out to find something to do, and went out with a hello to Qu Laohan.

Along the way, she was very careful about where there were shops to rent and sell, and she also thought about it, since she wanted to make money and the capital was enough, it was better to open a shop, which would not only have to show her face, but also earn more money than setting up a stall.

As for what to sell and eat, Ling Xiaorou already had a spectrum in her heart, because Weicheng Mansion is close to the sea on three sides, and the seafood is naturally the most, why not open a seafood restaurant

Like fish, shrimp, and shellfish can all be made from local materials, and Ling Xiaorou knows how to cook, which will definitely amaze the entire Weicheng Mansion. After earning money, she took care of all aspects of the magistrates of Weicheng Mansion, and the benefits were also given, she really didn't believe that anyone would come to embarrass her.

Ling Xiaorou went around in Weicheng Mansion for three days, and finally fell in love with a shop that was sold by the official, but because the previous owner of this shop committed an accident, the people who do business are a little superstitious, this shop is considered unlucky, and the official sold it for more than a month.

Ling Xiaorou didn't have that scruples, as long as the location was good, the procedures of the shop were fine, she didn't care about anything auspicious or unlucky, and this shop was not interested in it, and the price was also set low, if a shop of the same size and position wanted to buy at least five thousand taels of silver, this shop could be bought for only two thousand taels.

Ling Xiaorou earned a thousand taels by selling the secret recipe of the skewers of incense before, and counting the money she earned from selling the skewers of incense in those days, she also had more than two thousand taels of silver on her body, but after buying the shop, there was nothing left, and it was definitely not enough to decorate the shop, let alone dot up and down.

Fortunately, there is no hurry, it's a big deal to wait until you earn money and then take your time. Moreover, she bought a shop that the government has not been able to sell, presumably the government will also sell her face

After thinking about it, Ling Xiaorou went straight to the Weicheng Mansion and came to find the master who was in charge of official sales, inquired about the situation of the shop, and was very warmly welcomed by the master.

From the master's enthusiastic introduction, Ling Xiaorou heard some hints, although the shop with a price of two thousand taels was clearly marked, it was possible to bargain, which made Ling Xiaorou happy, but she would not be stupid enough to think that she would encounter a good thing that the master would take the initiative to help her save money, and what the silver saved was used for, I believe that as long as you are not a fool, you should understand.

Ling Xiaorou pretended to negotiate the price with the master, and the master was very happy, and soon pressed the shop from two thousand taels to one thousand taels of silver, and the low price made Ling Xiaorou a little unbelievable.

The master also happily drafted a document, after Ling Xiaorou read it, he bought a shop for 1,000 taels, and the money was paid twice, as long as the prefect stamped the official seal on it, the shop belonged to Ling Xiaorou.

After that, the master sat on the side and slowly sipped tea, chatting with Ling Xiaorou without a match, but not mentioning the matter of going to the prefect to stamp the official seal.

Ling Xiaorou didn't understand how to take out two thousand taels of silver from her body and handed it to the master, "The grass people bought the silver from the shop, and asked the master to count one or two." ”

The master took the silver ticket, counted and counted it one by one, and squinted with a smile, "Yes, yes, it's a thousand taels to buy a shop, the young man is good, you sit down, this master will go and see if the prefect has come back." ”

Ling Xiaorou sent the master away, her face was not obvious, but she was disdainful in her heart, isn't this just using power for personal gain, if she only took out the 1,000 taels written on the paperwork before, the master would definitely not sell the shop to her under various excuses, that is, she had a heart and understood that the 1,000 taels of silver saved would not belong to her, so she got this bargain.

She didn't lose anything, she bribed the prefect, and she didn't have to exceed the budget, and the master was also satisfied, so it would be more convenient for her to open a shop in Weicheng Mansion in the future.

Soon, the master came back with the official seal, and the deed of the shop was handed over to Ling Xiaorou, and after a few polite words, he personally sent Ling Xiaorou out of the yamen, constantly hinting that Ling Xiaorou could come to him for help if she was in trouble when she opened the shop in the future.

After Ling Xiaorou thanked her, she also understood that the master was hinting that she could send some money to the yamen if she was fine, after all, it was impossible to pay it now

After that, Ling Xiaorou went to the grocery store to buy a big lock, smashed the lock of the shop, and went inside to look and see.

Although the shop has only one floor, the area inside is not small, it was originally a food shop, excluding the kitchen, there are more than 100 square meters, and there is a courtyard larger than the shop at the back, connected to six houses, which were used as residences before, but Ling Xiaorou decided to use these six houses as private rooms.

There are also two rooms for miscellaneous items, which can be cleaned up to store ingredients.

Because it is a seafood shop to be opened, it is natural to highlight a fresh word, and the ingredients do not need to be prepared on weekdays, as long as you contact the fishermen who go to sea, and get up every morning to deliver most of the seafood.

At that time, a shed will be set up in the yard, and various large vats and vats will be placed in the shed, and the diners who come to eat seafood can also directly select fresh seafood.

In fact, Ling Xiaorou prefers glass containers more than large vats, but although there is glass from overseas in Dayan Kingdom, the technology of making fish tanks with glass does not meet the requirements, and it will have to leak water if it is done, so it is better to use large vats in second place.

After everything was calculated, Ling Xiaorou locked the door and left, seeing that it was not early, she would have to be suspicious if she didn't go back, it seemed that Ming'er would have to tell Qu Laohan that she had found a job. The sooner you open your shop, the sooner you can earn money.

When she got home, the door facing the street was locked, but fortunately, Ling Xiaorou had the key on her and opened the door to enter the house.

The cornmeal stickers he made before he got up early and went out were still on the stove as they were, and it was obvious that Qu Laohan didn't move.

Ling Xiaorou was not too cold, grabbed a cornmeal sticker and ate it beautifully, if Qu Laohan tasted it, he would find that this looked similar to the usual cornmeal sticker, in fact, it was a cornmeal egg cake baked with eggs, not only would it not taste rough, on the contrary, there was a thick egg fragrance, and the taste was also tender and soft, but people didn't even look at this good thing.

After eating, Ling Xiaorou returned to the room, plugged the door, took out the remaining silver tickets on her body and counted them carefully, in addition to the two thousand taels that bought the shop, she also had three hundred and eighty taels of silver tickets left on her, and she would go to Yinzhuang tomorrow to exchange some silver and copper coins.

There are tables and chairs in the shop, pots and pans need to be added, and window paper needs to be re-pasted, all of which need to be done by hand, it seems that the first thing to do tomorrow is to recruit people, and she can't let her do all those jobs alone.
