Chapter 238: Qian Youwei
It's been more than a month since he came to Baker Street, and Lin Yan's business is very bleak.
Or because he is too young, and Baker Street is basically the neighborhood of the old street, and no one needs divination or anything, that is, when it just opened on the first day, the Spring City Divination Pharmacy was still relatively lively.
Up to now, except for the old man Li on the first day, he basically came to the store to see the fun, and no one really wanted Lin Yan to help him calculate the fortune or see a doctor.
Behind the scenes, some people have already talked about it, this store is running so bleakly, it is estimated that it will not be long before the last merchant will not be able to continue to sell this store again, right?
After more than a month of getting along, everyone also knows that this young man is the owner of this shop, his name is Lin Yan, and he came from Shu alone.
And to everyone's surprise, the young owner has been out of business for almost a month, but he is like his own shop, hanging out every day, walking back and forth, without the slightest intention of taking this small shop to heart.
However, since this period of time, Lin Yan and these neighbors have become very familiar with each other, and basically when they see each other, they can recognize their names and say hello to each other.
Early this morning, around eight o'clock in the morning, there were still no customers in Lin Yan's store, Lin Yan walked out of the small shop and stretched.
Raising his hand to pick up the bird cage hanging in front of his store, inside was a parrot he had just bought recently, and Lin Yan began to walk back and forth on this Baker Street.
"Yo, Uncle Wang, so early. ”
"Xiaolin, did you come out to walk the birds again?"
"yes, that's not a big deal. ”
Lin Yan greeted the neighbors passing by, and teased the parrot he had just bought from time to time.
This looks like the son of a family.
I met an acquaintance in front of him, Lin Yan smiled, and took the initiative to step forward to greet him: "Brother Zhuang, so early?
The man who Lin Yan called Da Zhuang was about thirty years old, and a white cloth vest was worn on his body, revealing his sturdy shoulders.
No one remembers his real name, but the neighborhood of Baker Street calls him Da Zhuang, and his job is to work for a family in Portman Town.
However, Da Zhuang usually goes to work at night, because the night shift earns more than the day.
Da Zhuang is already thirty years old, and he has not yet found a daughter-in-law, and he himself is very anxious, he has always wanted to make more money, and if he can save enough money, he will go back to his hometown to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law.
All these things are known to the neighbors.
Although Da Zhuang has no culture and has not studied, he is still relatively enthusiastic, and when he met Lin Yan a few days ago, he would greet him with a smile and call "Boss Lin".
But today's Da Zhuang is a bit abnormal, he just simply agreed, very blunt.
This Da Zhuang looked nervous, and after answering, he hurriedly walked into the distance.
Lin Yan smiled, this big man is hiding something in his heart for fear that others will know.
However, Lin Yan didn't ask, and still walked the birds on the side of Baker Street.
The day passed quickly.
Close the shop and put the bird cage away.
Walking around to his bed in the back, Lin Yan sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
It has been half a year since Lin Yan left Tianxin Pavilion.
It's been more than a month on Baker Street, and the rest of the time is spent on the road.
During this time, Lin Yan has always been stop-and-go, digesting his mental power while traveling.
Although the speed of digestion of the Evil King's mental power is very slow, it is also carried out in an orderly manner every day under the control of the second mind.
Since Lin Yan brought a lot of top-quality medicinal materials with him when he came out of Tianxin Pavilion, after Lin Yan's silver was spent, he would find a random family to sell a medicinal herb, which would be enough for him for a long time.
Lin Yan's medicinal herbs from Tianxin Lake alone were enough for him to live without food and clothing for most of his life.
So although Lin Yan didn't make any money at all because of the shop he bought on Baker Street, Lin Yan didn't care.
While riding a horse, Lin Yan was not idle, and he began to cultivate the things in the I Ching scroll about the five elements of yin and yang, and gossip divination.
Lin Yan's talent is very good.
In half a year, he reached the introduction of metaphysics.
This is also thanks to the foundation of his childhood.
Although he can't use his own strength now, the foundation of enlightenment is still there, and his understanding of various mental methods is still there, so the complicated and difficult I Ching divination, Lin Yan can be regarded as a successful entry and began to formally cultivate.
The only reason why he chose to settle on Baker Street in Portman Town was that he told him that there were ancient artifacts in the vicinity.
Although Lin Yan now has the spiritual power of the Hideous King as a treasure trove, and his spiritual power is steadily increasing every day, but helplessly, he can't use his internal strength at all.
Moreover, the magic weapons handed down from ancient times are rarely ownerless treasures in the wilderness, and most of them have been collected by people, so Lin Yan plans to settle down here now and slowly look for opportunities.
The reason why he opened a divination shop was also Lin Yan's sudden whim.
It's not that he wants to rely on the divination technique of the I Ching scroll to calculate the hexagram, but he wants to rely on his own way of observing the details with the empty people for so long to "divination".
For Lin Yan, this can be regarded as a bad taste for him.
Although there are no customers coming to the door, Lin Yan is also a leisure, every day he just practices the Five Elements Bagua recorded in the I Ching Mental Method, and when he has nothing to do, he goes out for a walk, yo-yos birds, and his life is also very leisurely.
The time of the day is fleeting.
Lin Yan closed the shop as usual, cultivated, and didn't say anything all night.
Portman Town, due to its proximity to the imperial capital, has the need for supply and demand, there are several families in the town specializing in silkworm raising, and they are looking for some talents to make the best silk into some gorgeous clothing, and then match some luxurious-looking decorations, and sell the finished products to the imperial capital.
There are three families who made a fortune in the clothing industry, and Qian Youwei's Qian family is one of them.
Qian Youwei was also self-made in the early years, he seized this business opportunity from an ordinary person with a little extra money at home, and gradually formed the current huge family business of the Qian family after his own struggle.
Qian Youwei is this person, it can be said that he is extremely selfish, and he is also scheming, and he is still an iron rooster, and he does not pull out a dime.
It may also be his character that caused the Qian family to stand out from so many ordinary members at that time.
Da Zhuang worked long hours in the Qian family.
