The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 242 Buying a storefront

Lin Xiazhi stared at Liang Ming's leaving back without turning his eyes. Today's incident clearly told him that Liang Ming was interested in Cheng Wenliu, and he also seized the opportunity to get close to Cheng Wenliu, almost calling him a success.

"Brother Xia?" Cheng Wenliu waved his hand in front of Brother Xia, "You still look at him after everyone has left? Do you know him? Who is this little brother?"

Lin Xiazhi recovered, and stared at Cheng Wenliu with narrowed eyes: "Why, are you really interested in him? He didn't fall on you just now, did he disappoint Master Cheng?"

"Brother Xia, why do you have such an idea? I'm just curious about who he is. You don't want to say that I don't ask." Cheng Wenliu pulled Lin Xiazhi and whispered in his ear, "Do you think it's nearby? Opened a vinegar shop, the vinegar jar was overturned or something, the air is sour everywhere?"

"Sour?" Lin Xiazhi raised his eyebrows, "I don't smell sour, I just feel itchy hands, I want to do something to relieve the itching."

"Let's go, we have ointment at home. If you have a pimple on your hand, I will apply the ointment myself." Cheng Wenliu took Lin Xiazhi's hand.

"I still have business to do. I won't go home with you now, and I'll see you later." Lin Xiazhi threw Cheng Wenliu away, and said to Cheng Ping who was waiting by the side, "Cheng Ping, take care of your young master, and this beggar Liang For the clay figurine that the young master crushed, let’s help the Liang family put the money on it first, and then send the broken clay figurine and the bill to the Liang family."

After saying this, Lin Xiazhi turned around and asked Shangzhongren and Lin Xiaodong to continue to look at the shop on Xinyue Street.

What happened just now made Lin Xiazhi look at the house a lot faster, and he was going to go back to Cheng Wenliu to talk about it after looking at the shop quickly.

Lin Xiazhi's relentless back gave Cheng Wenliu a chill on the back of his neck, and then he sneezed.

"Second Young Master, are you okay?" Cheng Ping looked at Cheng Wenliu nervously.

Cheng Wenliu wiped the tip of his nose: "I'm fine, calculate how much the clay figurines here were crushed just now, and give the money to the stall owner."

"Yes." Cheng Ping knelt down and took out a piece of cloth to put the crushed clay figure inside.

"Your second youngest husband just said Mr. Liang?" Cheng Wenliu glanced.

"seems like it."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Ping picked up all the broken clay figurines and put them in a cloth bag, and compensated the stall owner according to the number of them.

"Cheng Ping, let another young man in the family come to Liang's house later, send this cloth bag over, and give the money back to the second young husband." Cheng Wenliu ordered nonchalantly.

Although these broken clay figurines are not worth much, since Mr. Liang made Xia Ge'er unhappy, of course he must follow Fu Lang's orders.

Cheng Wenliu didn't leave after finishing speaking. He asked the stall owner who was frightened just now: "Boss, the clay figurine you made for me just now is not broken?"

"Don't worry, son, it's not broken or broken." The honest stall owner picked up the clay figurine that had fallen aside.

Cheng Wenliu took a closer look and found that it was really not broken, so he could continue pinching: "As long as it's not broken, you just saw what my husband looks like, pinch it like him, put mine first, I'll wait for you Knead the clay figurine before leaving."

Hearing what Cheng Wenliu said, the clay figurine stall owner felt tense. Will he come back to the one just now?

Thinking of this, the stall owner speeded up his movements, recalling Lin Xiazhi's appearance and pinched it out quickly. Cheng Wenliu's book was half done, so it was done faster.

I saw the stall owner flipping his fingers over the clay figurines, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he finished the two finished products: "Young master, do you think this will work?"

"Okay, Cheng Ping will give the money for these two clay figurines to the boss." Cheng Wenliu put the two clay figurines into the wooden box contentedly, and quickly left the place.

Behind him, the voices of Cheng Ping and the stall owner came.

The voice of the stall owner was quite difficult: "Young master, my two little clay figurines can be worth a hundred copper coins at most. You gave me a tael of silver, and I can't get it back."

Cheng Ping explained to him with a smile: "The extra money is for you to shock you, so you can keep it."

……

On the other side, Lin Xiazhi visited seven or eight shops with four middlemen, and almost ran all over the streets of Jiangning County.

Some of these shops are for sale in good locations and shops, although those for rent are also okay, Lin Xiazhi has to go back and think about whether he should buy or rent.

But these are not urgent, he has one more important thing to do when he returns to Cheng Zhai.

Cheng Wenliu guessed that Lin Xiazhi was going to settle accounts with him after Qiu Hou, so he went back to Cheng Zhai early, waiting for Lin Xiazhi to come back in their yard.

"Brother Xia, you are back. Look at the clay figurine I bought. Does this look like you?" Cheng Wenliu took out the clay figurine he had protected with a wooden box.

Lin Xiazhi's anger was gradually consumed in the process of looking at the shop, and now he was just a little angry, and he didn't get angry. He calmly took Cheng Wenliu Xianbao's box.

"Just now, I saw that the owner of the stall was good at craftsmanship, so I asked him to make two clay figurines for us." Cheng Wenliu didn't mention anything about Liang Ming.

Lin Xiazhi looked at the lifelike appearance of the clay figurine and thought it was pretty good-looking: "It is true that the craftsmanship is good. I just watched it for a while and grasped the essence. If this clay figurine can have colors, I believe it will look better. Is there any colored clay? "

"Colorful clay? I've never heard of it. Even if there is, it's for ceramics, right?" Cheng Wenliu shook his head.

"I don't know, I just said it casually." Lin Xiazhi put down the clay figurine in his hand.

Cheng Wenliu felt bad when he saw his actions.

Sure enough, Lin Xiazhi immediately asked, "Tell me about the story between you and Liang Ming?"

"Story? The conscience of heaven and earth! I don't even know his name, so where is the story?" Cheng Wenliu was full of injustice, "If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't even know that this is the brother of the Liang family."

Lin Xiazhi didn't like Cheng Wenliu's tricks, and spread his palms at him: "Did you get the money back?"

Cheng Wenliu glanced at Cheng Ping who was waiting outside.

Cheng Ping stepped forward and took out a silver ingot worth twelve taels.

"Yo, so many?" Lin Xiazhi was surprised.

As far as he knew, the clay figurines that Liang Ming overwhelmed were probably not worth the price, they were only two or three taels of silver.

"I heard that Mr. Liang gave you a lot of thank you gifts." Cheng Ping replied with his head down, he was afraid that he would not be able to help laughing when he looked up.

Lin Xiazhi had a meaningful smile on his face: "Since it's a thank you gift, I'll accept it without hesitation. He crushed the stall owner's clay figurine and forgot to pay for it. We should really thank our Cheng family for helping him put it on."

When Lin Xiazhi said this, everyone in the room couldn't help laughing.

Telling all the servants in the house to go out, Lin Xiazhi said to Cheng Wenliu: "Since you said you have no story with Liang Ming, then tell me something about the Liang family, so that I can get to know this brother who walks unsteadily. "

The so-called know the enemy and know yourself can win a hundred battles. Since Liang Ming has already attacked Cheng Wenliu, he, Lin Xiazhi, of course has to take precautions.

Since his husband wanted to know, Cheng Wenliu would naturally not hide it. He told Lin Xiazhi all the news about the Liang family that he knew.

After talking about the Liang family, Lin Xiazhi took out the straw paper he had seen on the pavement, and discussed with Cheng Wenliu about buying the pavement.

Cheng Wenliu is more familiar with the shops in the county than Lin Xiazhi, which ones are expensive, which ones may not look good, and some news that people in the middle will not tell, Cheng Wenliu analyzes them one by one.

Lin Xiazhi actually had a lot of money in his hands. He chose three good shops to buy tomorrow, among them was the shop with a small downstairs and a large upstairs.

There is no problem with the house deed and land deed of that shop, but Cheng Wenliu also thinks that the downstairs area is too small, so he does not recommend Lin Xiazhi to buy it.

Lin Xiazhi didn't say what he bought the shop for, but only said that he bought this shop to open his own shop, keeping it a mystery.

The second son, who accompanied Lin Xiazhi to look at the house yesterday, received the news the next day that Lin Xiazhi wanted to buy this shop, but after the price would drop by 20 taels, he agreed to Lin Xiazhi's request without hesitation, bringing the deed and The title deed will go to the county government, and he can leave earlier if he gets the money in his hand.

The eldest son of the shop on the first floor was so angry when he heard that his younger brother's shop had been sold, it would be difficult for him to buy the shop back now.

It cost 280 taels of silver to buy this shop, and also bought two other shops.

One is on Xinyue Street. The combined area of ​​the upper and lower floors is only about 360 square meters, but the price is the highest, at [-] taels.

There is also a shop on Linxi Street, the location is a bit remote, the upper and lower floors add up to more than 160 square meters, because it is a bit old, it only cost 320 taels.

The three shops cost a total of 20 taels for the purchase price plus the middleman fee and the management fee for modifying the house deed and land deed.

Three days later, Lin Xiazhi suddenly had three more shops in his hands, and his status as a landlord was further enhanced.

After buying the shop, except for the shop bought from the second son, which is going to be opened for tea and snacks in the future, he told the middleman to continue renting out the other two shops at the previous rent.

After Cheng Wenliu finished dealing with the backlog of things during the Chinese New Year two days ago, he began to wholeheartedly prepare for the membership system they discussed during the Chinese New Year.

Making membership cards, registering membership identities, training shopkeeper Tong and his shopkeepers and waiters, researching the prices of dishes in Jufulou, and practicing several new dishes proposed by Lin Xiazhi for the back kitchen staff. When he got up, he forgot about the Liang family.

Except for Cheng Zhai in Jufulou every day, he has never seen many outsiders, let alone Liang Ming.

In addition, Father Cheng found out that one of the businesses of the cousin who made Cheng Fulang unhappy during the Chinese New Year was incense powder.

Fragrance powder has always been very popular among high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Whether it is a brother or a husband at home, they all like to sprinkle some fragrance powder on their clothes. Stays pleasantly scented.

In addition to incense powder, that cousin also has some other small businesses. Compared with the income of incense powder, the income is much less. If he wants to punish him, it is best to start with incense powder. It is not itchy or painful to choose other industries. .
