Chapter Seventy-Eight: Raising Money

Yuan Xi stared at him for a while, making sure that he was not laughing at himself, so he arched his hand: "Please give me advice." ”

Shopkeeper Li stroked his mustache and pointed to the street entrance, and the plaster guise swayed in the wind.

Shopkeeper Li smiled bitterly: "Seeing that there is no new one, don't look at their medicines, but the proprietor behind them is bullish, they are big officials in the court, and I heard that even the prime minister has to concede three points when he sees it." You want to open a pharmacy here, don't you steal business with them? People have a lot of money, can you stand it? Don't you take the white flowers and throw them into the water when the time comes?"

Yuan Xi smiled faintly: "Shopkeeper Li, if I'm not mistaken, if the Chinese medicine is stored properly, it can guarantee that it will not rot for at least three years?"

"That's true, but what does this have to do with your purchase of a store?"

"Don't ask about this," Yuan Xi said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper Li, you practice medicine and open a medicine shop, you should have some exclusive secret recipes in your hands, right?"

Shopkeeper Li's face changed suddenly, and he subconsciously took two steps back: "Gotta got, don't fight this idea, if the ancestral secret recipe is sold, is it still called the ancestral secret recipe?"

Yuan Xi looked him up and down: "Five hundred taels, I'll only buy one." ”

"A thousand taels are not sold. Shopkeeper Li waved his hand again and again.

"Shopkeeper Li, I don't mean anything else, I just want a card that specializes in treating knife wounds. Rest assured, I will never put your prescription on someone else's brand, in other words, I am not trying to make money, I assure you. I, Wei Yuanxi, speak my word, if one day I take your recipe out to sell it for money, let you know, you come to me, I will chop off an arm for you. ”

Shopkeeper Li was stunned when he heard this, he didn't buy the secret recipe to make a fortune, is this person crazy?

Seeing that Shopkeeper Li didn't speak, but glanced at Yuan Xi as if he was a little excited, Yuan Xi continued to warm up: "Shopkeeper Li, I promise with the brand of the Wei family's firm, if I don't do what I say, you come back and take off my Wei family's brand! When you arrive in a new place, you must settle down and open a store, right? ”

Shopkeeper Li gasped, and the shopkeeper Hu with Yuanxi also added fuel and lit the fire: "Shopkeeper Li, when it comes to the six thousand taels in front of you, don't take it for nothing, if our owner doesn't come, isn't your store idle?"

Shopkeeper Li sneered and hesitated, Shopkeeper Hu hugged him and pushed him into the store: "Shopkeeper Li, don't hesitate, our boss has talked about this, what are you hesitating about? ”

Shopkeeper Li was in a hurry to escape for his life, and he couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he finally wrote down a recipe and took the finished product in the store to show Yuan Xi. Fortunately, in her previous life, she had taught herself some alchemy in the prince's mansion, and she could also distinguish the truth from what the shopkeeper Li said. Seeing that Yuanxi could also tell the door of the expert, Shopkeeper Li did not dare to cheat, and explained the steps of the pharmaceutical in detail and clearly understood.

Yuan Xi promised six thousand taels with one mouth, which made the shopkeeper Hu worried. It's really not difficult to see that this young owner is from the capital, and he will give 6,000 taels of silver, and he doesn't even want to think about it. But even if the silver in the west shop is scavenged, it will only be more than 500 taels. As for the east shop, it is estimated that it is about the same.

Shopkeeper Hu turned his back and asked softly: "The owner, this price has been negotiated, but where can we find six thousand taels of silver?"

Yuan Xi smiled faintly: "With such a big town, can't you even find Qianzhuang?"

Chief Hu looked at Yuan Xi with a look of eating: "Boss, I'm afraid this is ......"

"No?"

"Yes, there is, but the money village here is black and white, if we exchange 6,000 taels, they will dare to sit on the ground and ask you for 500 taels of bridge tolls. ”

Ling'er's eyes widened: "Is there any royal law left?!"

"It's really Ling'er girl, Donglinzhou is fighting, we are next to Donglinzhou here, and it belongs to the place of Sanzhier, isn't there no royal law?"

"Who said there is no silver?" Yuan Xi turned his eyes around the frame twice, and came up with an idea in his heart: "Let's sell the east shop, won't there be silver?"

"Sold the east shop?" shopkeeper Hu couldn't react a little.

"Don't miss the opportunity, you ask which pharmacy will sell it with a partner? Hurry up to the east shop, bring the shop deed and title deed, ask the east shop to take inventory, and spend the silver on the counter for use first. Yuan Xi said firmly: "I am determined to win this shop." ”

"It's probably too late to sell the store now, right? In such a hurry, I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it at any price. Shopkeeper Hu trotted away, took the title deed of the east shop and hurried over.

"It's too late to sell the store, the mortgage is always in a hurry, right?" Yuan Xi took the store deed and flipped through it, secretly happy in his heart.

"The house in this realm is not worth much, and the six thousand taels and four thousand taels of the shopkeeper Li are all medicine money. The house lasted a thousand taels. The shopkeeper licked his lips, and the new owner gave himself a problem as soon as he came up. Looking at this posture, she is planning to fire the shopkeeper of the East Shop and her buddies together, if she doesn't do what she says, she will open it with herself. Shopkeeper Hu shook his head, he didn't want to be stupid, after all, the family relied on him for food.

Even if you want to break your head, you have to do the things arranged by the new owner well. The shopkeeper Hu sighed: "Or, the dead things in the east and west shops have been taken out and mortgaged?" I don't know about the east shop, there is a good Nanmu coffin stored here in the west shop, which was given to me by a prodigal son a few years ago." ”

Yuan Xi also opened a pawnshop, and knew that there were really some valuable things in the pawnshop, and those things would appreciate in value, and if the market was good, it would be sold at a sky-high price.

Yuan Xi came back to his senses and smiled: "Sell the store to three thousand taels, the east and west shops each pay five hundred taels, and the rest of the silver, pick a few good things to give to the shopkeeper Li." ”

Shopkeeper Hu pondered carefully: "The rest is easy to handle, but which pawn shop will pay 3,000 taels of silver for our shop?"

Yuan Xi and Ling Er glanced at each other: "Where is the biggest pawn shop here?"

"West Street Anfuju. The shopkeeper rubbed his hands, and said in his heart that this young owner was also whimsical, such a shop, saying three thousand taels, that is, one thousand taels are too much, how capable she is, and she dares to boast of such a Haikou.

......

The shopkeeper of Anfuju is a fat man, and the fat on his body shakes when he walks. He crossed the heads of two lions and greeted them with a smile.

Yuan Xi glanced at it, this store is not big, and the appearance is not eye-catching, but it can be seen from the decoration that this store has an internal show. The furniture is all yellow pear, and the gilded Boshan stove burns with faint sandalwood. A cup of tea was served, and it was a covered bowl with azure glaze after the rain, and a bright front sparrow tongue was brewed.

"Shopkeeper Hu, what kind of wind blew you here?" the fat shopkeeper directly crossed Yuan Xi and talked to Shopkeeper Hu.

Shopkeeper Hu obeyed the rules and stretched out his hand: "It's not me looking for you today, this is the young owner of our Wei firm." ”

"Young owner, be polite. The fat man arched his hand, his face full of unkindness.

It's no wonder that people have been in this industry for decades, and they can afford to look down on a young woman?

Yuan Xi slightly arched his hand: "Disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

"I don't know if the young owner came to the store this time, what advice do you have?"

"I can't talk about advice, but I'm a little tight lately, so I have to move around and sell my ancestral property. Seeing that he was not polite, Yuan Xi showed weakness first, lest he be aggressive next. Sure enough, Yuan Xi's show of weakness made the fat shopkeeper feel uncomfortable.

The fat shopkeeper said with a smile: "The young owner is joking, your Wei family is a big businessman, no matter how poor you are, it is bigger than our small business." If you had reached the point of selling your ancestral property, we would have starved to death. ”

"Don't believe me, I'm really here to sell my ancestral property. Yuan Xi stretched out his hand as he spoke, and Ling'er presented the shop deed of the east shop, Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, take a look." ”

The fat shopkeeper frowned, and said in his heart that this was really a fucking deed. I felt puzzled in my heart, but I didn't dare to be abrupt: "Are you scolding me?"

"How dare you?"

"The Wei family's business name is Nanshan Tiger, no matter how bold I am, I don't dare to accept your shop," Boss Zhao clapped his hands and called a young man: "You go to the counter and take a thousand taels of silver and send it to the young owner." ”

Then he pushed the deed back again: "Shao Dong, when everyone is narrow, they will not have to sell their ancestral property, if you say anything, we can still take this thousand eight hundred silver, and we can do things for the Wei family, and we also have a light on our faces." ”

"Don't mind, I'm embarrassed to say that. I came to you to mortgage the property, if you don't accept my store deed, how can I take your money for nothing?" Yuan Xi said and sighed: "Don't dislike it, although the land is not worth much at the moment, the battle in Donglinzhou will not be fought for a few days, and the land price will rise again." This is what a friend of mine in the capital told me that the emperor has the intention of reviving the two states of Donglin and Yuexi, and it is just a matter of time. ”

"How much do you want?" said the fat shopkeeper, wiping a handful of sweat.

"Three thousand taels. Won-hee held out three fingers.

"Oh," the fat shopkeeper let out a long sigh, "that's not a small amount." ”

"Yes, but don't worry, as soon as the battle in Donglinzhou is over, the first thing the imperial court will support is the two states of Donglin and Yuexi, not to mention the migration of 200,000 people here, at that time are you still worried that the price of this land will not go up?"

The fat shopkeeper frowned: "Listen to what you mean, you don't mean to redeem the store again?"

"Look at you, I'm a loser who only cares about the present. If you do the current thing well, I may give it to you for nothing!"

The fat shopkeeper took a sip of tea and pondered for a while: "Young owner, let me take the liberty of asking, who are the friends you are talking about in the capital?"

"King Duanjun. Won-hee picked up the tea and finally took the first sip.

"Cheng, three thousand is three thousand, I'll make a bet with you. The fat shopkeeper said hello, and the guy brought the four treasures of the room.

Three thousand taels of silver, a brand-new stack of silver tickets, the more he counted, the happier he became: "Opening a pharmacy to make money, I have heard of this in the capital." ”

"The owner has a good vision, in the chaotic realm, there is nothing more profitable than opening a pharmacy. "The shopkeeper Hu should be kind.

"I didn't want to gather wealth, I came to spread it. Won-hee let out a long sigh of relief. Xiao Rongzhan, I'm paving the way for you, don't let me down.
