Chapter 11: Find a collaborator

Mo Ruxue sat in front of the window and pondered, just as Mama Zhang came to her, saying that the people from the Zhuangzi below had come to pay the moon silver.

She counted a lot, there were hundreds of taels, she counted her dowry yesterday, several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, this female partner is really rich in the family.

Mama Zhang said that the moon silver of the shop has not been handed over yet, thinking of these white flowers, Mo Ruxue smiled from ear to ear, there is no money for anything.

Mo Ruxue suddenly thought that it was written in the novel that there would be a large-scale locust plague in the south in two months, because the relief measures were unfavorable and the report was too late, and the result was no harvest.

Then she should use the money in her hand to open a grain store now, in ancient times, the grain production was low, and there would be famine when encountering various natural disasters.

This matter must be done quickly, first of all, you have to find a person with business acumen and professional ethics to manage, and she has to take care of the characters in the novel.

Mo Ruxue locked herself in her room for the past two days, analyzed all the characters in the novel, and she wanted to find a reliable person with both ability and integrity to manage the grain store.

Today she finally had a clue, and she disguised herself as a man and came out on the street to find her target. She came to a rice shop, where a dark-skinned young man in his twenties was taking accounts.

Seeing her walk in, he hurriedly got up and greeted her warmly.

Mo Ruxue walked to the counter and glanced at the closed account book, and said with a smile: "You know how to read, and you can keep accounts?"

"I know a few words, because I want to do a small business, I don't want to pursue a career, so I haven't studied for a few years. ”

At this moment, the shopkeeper of the rice shop came out of it, with a fat head and big ears, and he was about to go out with a burden.

The young man hurriedly stepped forward and begged in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, you see that it is almost the end of the month, can you give me last month's salary? My mother has been sick for half a month, waiting for money to save her life." As soon as you go out, it's been one or twenty days, and my mother really can't wait!"

The shopkeeper pondered and said embarrassedly: "It's not that I won't give you the knot, it's really that I want to open a new store recently, and I can bear with it if I am short of funds, and it will be good after a while." ”

He patted his head and continued with a smile: "By the way, I have a panacea that I just asked for from Xiangguo Temple, and I will use it for your mother first, this is a good thing that is hard to find, and it should be worth these two months' wages." ”

The fat man took a crumpled paper bag from his waist and stuffed it into the young man's hand.

The young man opened the paper bag and saw that it was a pile of powder mixed with unknown things, and the smell was very choking, how could he dare to give this thing to his mother?

Seeing that the shopkeeper was leaving, he hurriedly grabbed the shopkeeper's sleeve and begged bitterly: "Shopkeeper, how can this cure the disease? I beg you, you can give me some wages! I am really desperate......

The shopkeeper flicked his sleeves, and his fat face was full of disdain: "This is a good thing, and I am reluctant to give it to others! I really don't know the goods, look at your poor and sour appearance! You pull and pull again, and you will stain my clothes, you can't afford to pay for it!"

"What does it matter to me that your mother is sick? I made her sick? I usually take good care of you, you say that I owe you wages, don't be a man, you are also a scholar, you should understand some reason. Okay, I've got to go out, take a good look at the store at home!"

The shopkeeper walked out with no ash on his elastic sleeves, not in the slightest fear that the young man would do anything in the shop.

Thinking that these two months have been in vain, this young man's mood suddenly fell to the bottom, and his mother's illness may not be able to wait!

He sat slumped on the ground, his eyes red, and his face full of despair and indignation!

"What's your mother's illness?" Mo Ruxue asked softly.

The young man had come to his senses, and he had forgotten that there was a guest here.

He hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes, stood up, bent down and said, "I'm sorry, the little one didn't have the heart to greet you today, you better go to another house to buy it!"

"He said that there is a settlement salary every month, so why haven't you been poor to this point?" Mo Ruxue asked curiously.

"Hmph, it's the end of each month. Last month, he used two litres of brown rice, half of which was made up of stones, and the first three months were made of moldy wheat, and he said that someone else had asked him to sell the leftovers, and there are many more, and I can't say enough!" he said in frustration.

"You are a rice shop here, and you don't pay for it, so you can just take the rice home. ”

He raised his head, his expression was firm, and he said categorically: "I'd rather die than do that rooster and dog thief!"

That's why he took you to death, Mo Ruxue thought to herself.

But he has this quality, which is exactly what she needs, and it is mentioned in the novel that this person is very talented in business, and later became the richest man in Yan Kingdom.

"Would you like to open your own store?"

The young man said sullenly: "What is the use, I have eaten the last meal now, and I have no money to treat my mother's illness, let alone open a shop." ”

"I'm going to invest in opening a grain store, and I want to ask you to be the shopkeeper, are you willing?"

"You...... Is that true? It can't be me, is it?" he looked at her in disbelief.

"What am I trying to do with you, you are poor and white, what is there to deceive me?"

Mo Ruxue took out thirty taels of silver and handed it to him: "You take it to your mother for treatment first, whether you want it or not, you don't have to pay back this money, I have the right to do good deeds." ”

"You don't know my name yet, why do you trust me so much and give me so much money?" he couldn't dream of such a good thing, and he couldn't believe it for a while.

"The name is just a code name, I value your character more, I believe in you. My name is July, you think about it for a few days, and I will wait for you at Xifeng Tea House in five days. ”

After speaking, she left in style, she knew that his name was Ouyang Xun, and he would definitely come in five days.

Ouyang Xun was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, God opened his eyes, and it made his dream come true!

He hurriedly closed the door, packed up his things and went home.

Mo Ruxue was in a good mood, and she did one more thing, one step closer to her dream of making a fortune!

She slowly paced the street alone, Chunyu and Xia He didn't let her come out in men's clothes, she locked them in the house and told them to reflect on themselves.

There are a lot of teahouses on the ancient street, she took a look, Xifeng Lou is the largest teahouse here, just go in to see, inspect the customs, after all, you will live here for a long time in the future.

The shopkeeper led her to a window position on the second floor, and she listened to the commentary while drinking tea, which she used to scoff at in modern times, but now she also feels that it has a special charm.

was listening attentively, and suddenly a salty pig hand put on her shoulder: "Little brother, alone, this son happens to be alone, it is better to go and drink together for a while." ”

Mo Ruxue turned her head sideways and saw a man who looked like a steamed bun with a lewd smile on his face, looking at her with squinting eyes, and he was followed by two attendants.

She is already dressed in men's clothes, and she will be harassed, and the ancient male style is so prevalent.......

In fact, what she didn't know was that as soon as her delicate and beautiful face appeared in the teahouse, she had already been noticed by many people, such as Xiao Yonghan with a black face in the corner and Xiao Yongyan who was waiting to watch the play.
