Liu Yunxiang wanted to take Sanbao with him, so he woke him up, got dressed and washed his face, and when he came out again, the backyard was already full of people.

When Yan Twilight saw her, she squeezed out from the front.

"Don't go in, the innkeeper is dead."

"Huh?" Liu Yunxiang was taken aback.

"I planted a ditch when I came home drunk last night, and I was out of gas when I was found in the morning."

Liu Yunxiang sighed, if the owner was willing to listen to the advice of his buddy last night, this incident would not have happened. Through the cracks, she saw a woman lying on the ground weeping and weeping, and for this woman it was like the sky was falling.

Life and death, no one can do anything.

The family quit the room and returned to the Nan'an Inn, where Jiang Yuan had already hired someone to clean it.

"I also hired a cook and a fellow to take care of it for the time being, and when the inn opens, I will hire a few more." Jiang Yuandao.

"To open an inn, you have to go to the government to register and queue up to get a license, according to this situation, if you want to open an inn, you can't wait for ten or eight years, so we estimate that we can't wait." Liu Yunxiang said.

"I'll go to the official office to register in the afternoon and see the situation." Yan Du said.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "It's okay, then I'll go down to the market to buy some daily necessities." ”

They were going to stay in Yangsan County, and no matter how long they were, they had to buy some necessary things.

Aunt Chen, the cook, is a chubby old woman, she is from Darong, and she married Beijin forty years ago.

"Madame, don't worry, although I have been living in Beijin, I will still cook Darong's special dishes, and you will know when you taste my craftsmanship in the evening."

She and Yan Du don't pick and choose, mainly Sanbao, afraid that this little guy will be wronged.

The guy's name is Liu Jin, and the big guys call him gold, tall and strong, dark-skinned, at first glance, he looks like he has done heavy physical work, he is not good at words, and he looks honest.

Liu Yunxiang took the three treasures to the market to buy, and because he was afraid that he would not be able to take them, he called for gold.

"My family lives in this alley."

Because Liu Yunxiang asked where Jinzi's family lived, when he walked to the alley, Jinzi pointed inside.

"My father died when I was ten years old, and my mother raised me."

Liu Yunxiang understood, "Have you married?" ”

Jin Zi was a little shy, and his dark face could be seen flushing, "Not yet." ”

"Then there must already be a sweetheart, right?"

Kaneko smiled and scratched the back of her head, "Well, when I build a new house in the spring of next year, I will marry her in winter." ”

Why does this sound so familiar?

In the market, when she met a woman selling steamed buns, Jin Zi ran over to help her put the burden off her shoulders, and Liu Yunxiang remembered that this was the woman who went to the inn to deliver the steamed buns.

Gold said something to the woman, and the woman smiled and looked over at the same time.

Thinking of something, she hurriedly bent down to wrap a bag of buns and trotted over, "My gold is stupid, but his hands and feet are not stupid, and he is diligent in his work, if he does something wrong, Mrs. will reprimand him." ”

"This is my own mutton stuffed bun, you and the little boy taste it, if you think it's delicious, I often send it to your home."

This Aunt Liu was too enthusiastic, but Liu Yunxiang was a little embarrassed, and after she took the bun, she gave Aunt Liu a piece of silver. Aunt Liu didn't want it, she still stuffed it to her.

"That's too much." Aunt Liu said.

"When I pay first, and then the child wants to eat, I let the gold be taken from home."

"It's good, it's good."

Aunt Liu was very happy and called her son over, saying that he had met a good boss, and he must be diligent in doing things, and he must not let the boss find faults.

"Mother, go back and sell buns, Madame still has something to do."

"Ouch, my mouth is so open, I can't stop talking about it. Madam, go quickly, in short, the light work and heavy work are done for Jinzi, and he can endure hardships with all his strength. ”

Jin Zi pushed his mother back, and Liu Yunxiang also breathed a sigh of relief, he was indeed too good to say.

After returning, Jin Zi apologized to Liu Yunxiang.

"It's okay, I think Aunt Liu is very good."

"My mother is very happy that I can find a job."

"And where did you do it before?"

"Dock loading and unloading."

"Why don't you do it?"

"The steward owed me half a year's salary, and I asked him for it, but he always shirked it, and then dismissed me."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "What about the salary?" ”

"Didn't."

"You didn't want to ask for an explanation?"

"There is a boat gang at the dock, and the people of the boat gang are not easy to mess with, my mother is afraid that something will happen to me, so she said forget it."

"You can also report to the police."

"My mother won't let me."

"Why?"

"She said that we ordinary people must be safe and secure, hide in case of trouble, and endure when we are bullied, and we can't mess with those who can't be provoked."

Liu Yunxiang shook her head and smiled, this was too aggrieved, but she couldn't say anything.

After purchasing a lot of necessities for life, and when they returned home, Yan Du and Jiang Yuan also returned.

"It's already registered, and there are hundreds of people queuing up in front, and the official only says to wait, but I don't know when to wait." Yan Du said.

Liu Yunxiang didn't have any hope at all, but in the afternoon of the next day, the government actually came with news, saying that the sign of Yunxiang Inn had been withdrawn, and asked them to prepare and go to the official office to bid tomorrow.

"Bidding?" Yan Du didn't understand what it meant for a while.

The official explained, "At present, there are more than 100 people queuing up to receive the sign, but there is only one sign, and the one with the highest price will get it." ”

This is not wrong and fair, but all walks of life have to bid for brands, so every year the government just sells brands is a lot of money, whose pocket does this money go into?

Yan Duan looked at Liu Yunxiang, and Liu Yunxiang obviously thought of this problem as well. But they couldn't figure out the situation, so neither of them opened their mouths to ask anything more.

On the second day, the two got up early in the morning and went to the official office together.

When they passed, there were already a lot of people in the courtyard, and everyone had this sign in their hands, and everyone was figuring it out, and no one paid attention to anyone.

As soon as they entered, the official checked their identities and gave them a sign.

"How much do you want to bid for is written on this sign, and we will collect it later." We will open the cards on the spot, deal the cards on the spot, absolutely fair and just. ”

Yan Duan took the sign, he and Liu Yunxiang looked at it for a while, they really didn't know how much to fill in, after all, they had no experience.

"10,000 taels up, don't fill in below this price, it's useless to fill in."

Hearing this, the two turned their heads and saw that it was a middle-aged man in a green robe, with a mustache and a shrewd face, and he looked like he was doing business.

"Ten thousand taels!" Liu Yunxiang was a little incomprehensible, "Just to buy such a brand?" ”

"The brand is limited, and if everyone wants to do this business, they naturally have to grab it. The price is getting higher and higher, and the last bid was 9,800 taels, and this time it will only be better, so I said 10,000 taels. ”

"Only doing inn business, when will I be able to earn it back!"

"The business of the inn in Liangshan County is still easy to do, and it can return to its original cost in three or four years."

Liu Yunxiang was silent for a moment, and then looked at the others standing in one place, not communicating with others, "Why did you reveal this to us?" ”

The man smiled and showed his sign, which read: Three thousand taels.

"You ......"

"I'll be honest, I don't have that much money, so I'm just going to join in the fun today."

Liu Yunxiang discussed with Yan Dui for a while, and finally wrote down a number.
