Chapter 179 The shopkeeper smiles
Chen Tu was a little drifty again.
He felt that he was really suitable to be a small boss in Chang'an City.
He smiled well.
Smile whenever you meet.
The neighbors around him all thought he was kind and polite to him. There were even two women blushing when they saw him.
Later, I also sent him some snacks.
The children of Youzhou who called him Uncle Chen were not bad either, so they chatted with them occasionally on the way, talking about the idea of this house and shop. Before Chang'an, they had already done it.
The most domineering person is Gu Shiwu.
Chen Tu always felt that when chatting on the road, Gu Shiwu was always talking quietly, that was that he couldn't bear to pay his money, so he wanted these people to pay for it, right?
But in fact, Chen Tu's secret curse was wrong in this matter.
These houses were indeed purchased by the children of Youzhou.
Unlike these Youzhou children who were solemnly buying houses in Yankangfang, the houses of these people in Yinshan all went around and carried different people to secretly buy them.
The links here have also been designed by several students who are dedicated to the academy. Anyway, they can't find out that they are related to these Youzhou children after investigation.
As for this incense and candle shop, it was actually written by Lin Yiyi's mother Han Jiaoniang.
She was even more neat in her work. The incense candle shop was hung under the Qingyun Guild in Chang'an City. This Qingyun Guild was neither the Lin family's industry nor the Jin family's industry. Instead, she had some competitive relationships with the Jin family. After the Jin family handed over part of the industry to her, she calmly let the Qingyun Guild swallow some.
For the Qingyun Guild, this incense and candle shop was a benefit that someone had put in the effort during the annexation process, so he could make some money by opening an incense and candle shop.
If Chen Tu had carefully sorted out the relationship, he could figure it out clearly, but when he lifted a bamboo chair backrest, sat lazily at the door of the newly opened shop, touching a slightly hot teapot, and slapped at the teapot's mouth for no reason. When he saw the diligent guy in the shop was busy, he was too lazy to sort out these things.
The city of Chang'an is comfortable.
The streets and alleys are filled with a peaceful smell.
Even though he had just arrived, he had never even visited the nearest western market. He just looked at his house and sat in this newly opened incense and candle shop. Looking at the ordinary houses and tiles in the streets and alleys, he felt like a dream.
I have even reached Chang'an in this life.
You can also have your own yard and shop in Chang'an.
It's really fucking unreal.
"Shopkeeper Chen, you have a relative who has brought you a basket of things and put them here."
When a porter who was delivering goods was placed in front of him, he felt even more unreal.
What?
I have relatives in Chang'an?
Why didn't I know I have relatives?
"What relative?"
Chen Tu put down the teapot and couldn't help but shout at the porter who was pulling the cart to deliver goods.
"How did I know?" the porter replied, "It's just that."
"What's the thing, what to eat?"
Chen Tu felt that there might be some wild game in the bamboo basket. When he unbuttoned the rope on the bamboo basket and opened the lid, he couldn't help but curse, "Damn Zhou Lu'er, is here to scare you!"
The bamboo basket is full of snakes twisted into piles.
I don’t know where I dug it out, but in the middle of winter, I’m half stiff and have no activity.
"Dog Damn Zhou Lu'er, Gu Shiwu won't let you go with us publicly, so you can do this secretly?"
Chen Tu cursed again, and suddenly felt something was wrong. Zhou Lu'er usually plays with snakes one or two, so if he wants to scare himself, he will definitely get one or two, and logically speaking, he wouldn't bring a lot of snakes over.
"ah!"
At this time, a neighbor happened to come to watch the fun. As a result, he was shocked when he saw the things in the bamboo basket. After taking two steps, the neighbor couldn't help but whisper: "Shopkeeper Chen, did you open a store and didn't say hello to Huang Ya's group?"
Chen Tu knew something was wrong, so he showed a kind smile and asked softly: "Brother Qi, I don't understand the way inside. The procedures for opening a store are complete. Who else should I say hello to?"
This neighbor is in his fifties, named Qi Kuoyun. He is an old man who specializes in making medicine soup. Because he often set up a pile of charcoal stoves in the yard and the door, the smell is sometimes a bit frightening, so he greeted Chen Tu early and sent two cans of wine to make wine. He knows how to be a human being and is enthusiastic.
He immediately sighed and said softly: "I would like to remind you if I had known this. If you want to do business in Xishi and the surrounding markets, you must respect the children of Wufang. Huangya and others are some idle men raised by Wufang. If you don't take the initiative to respect them, they will send you some snakes today and throw rats into your well tomorrow. If you are still stubborn, you will simply pull the net to seal your road entrance and the well entrance together."
Chen Tu still smiled, "Brother Qi, it sounds like these people are just pickled street gangsters. What is the way for the Wufang boys above them?"
Old Man Qi turned around and looked around. Seeing that no one was approaching, he said with peace of mind: "The five yards we talked about in Chang'an City are places where carving carvings, falcons, harriers, eagles, and dogs in the palace. These 'children' are servants who feed hawks and dogs in these places. These people are low-level servants, but they borrow the power of the above, and their methods are very dirty. For example, they openly pull the net at the wellhead in your yard, or block the door of your shop. If you argue with them, they will say that you are shocking the emperor's bird and beat you up when you get the chance. If you report to the officials, then those officials will not be able to control it."
"By the way." Old Man Qi patted his forehead and added: "But you must not mention the word Wufang child in front of them. You hate these people and call them children. When you are in person, you must be polite, otherwise they will have many despicable methods. Even if you can't kill you, you will be annoyed and will not be able to let you do business in peace."
Chen Tu smiled and said, "It's okay, there are these people everywhere."
Seeing that he didn't look like a hard neck that could not be turned, Old Man Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Please put these snakes aside and don't touch them. When the time comes, people will say that they have sent the wrong place. These snakes are used to feed the emperor's eagle, and so on. Anyway, you just need to understand it in your heart. At that time, you politely give them some silver, and you will say, "Oh, I accidentally left one or two of them and disappeared. They will be polite to you. In the future, I will send them some copper coins every other month, and they will not bother you."
Chen Tu nodded with a smile and said, "How much do you want to give?"
Old Man Qi looked at Chen Tu’s incense and candle shop, and estimated it, and said, “Your shop is not big. The first time they came, you can give one tael of silver enough. If you make do with business in the future, you will be almost as good as you can give them two stale coins every month. If the business is good in the future, then you can take more as you please.”
"I understand." Chen Tu smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Qi, for reminding me, otherwise I won't be able to do this business, and maybe I will have no well water to drink tomorrow."
"Hey, they are all neighbors. There are more places to take care of each other in the future. Why do you do these polite words?" Old Man Qi felt more and more that Chen Tu was a good man, and he was a businessman who lived a peaceful life.
Chen Tu still held the teapot and sat on the bamboo chair.
He smiled and was really not angry.
As a result, he felt that he had really become a figure in Chang'an.
It turned out that they had been floating in the wilderness of Yinshan Mountain like a lonely ghost, and could not see the fireworks on earth.
Now the turbulence of the streets and alleys of Chang'an is suddenly getting worse.
So much so that when a slutty man with a disheveled hair and evil spirit in his arms, a black bird with a black bird that didn't know whether he was a starling or a crow, he felt very happy when he walked up to him.
"The shopkeeper is rich." The man with disheveled hair came over and said to Chen Tu with a smile. The black bird on his arm also spoke immediately, "Get rich."
"Is it a relative who gave the wrong thing?" Chen Tu looked at the black bird on the man's arm and exclaimed, "What a good bird."
The man with disheveled hair was stunned.
Chen Tu had already handed over a piece of silver, "I have collected my relatives, I understand this rule."
"Oh!" The man with disheveled hair was immediately happy, "The shopkeeper can make a fortune by just seeing it."
Chen Tu smiled and said, "If you get rich, you won't think about it anymore. Just seek stability. The brothers in the world can enjoy the taste and eat it."
The man with disheveled hair stared at Chen Tu, but he couldn't see what was going on.
"He's a cheerful person."
He took the broken silver, weighed it, and smiled, "Then we know each other. Everyone here calls me Qi Hei Niao. I will do things under Brother Huang. If you don't understand anything, just ask here."
Chen Tu bowed and smiled, "That basket of good things?"
Qi Hei Niao smiled and said, "When there will be a tow truck porter coming, just let him take it away with him."
Chen Tu gave a thumbs up, "This matter is done very well."
"It's all practice that makes perfect, right?" Qi Hei Niao looked at Chen Tu meaningfully, and said nothing more, "Boss, you're busy, I still have to do things."
Chen Tu immediately said with a smile, "You are busy with your work, I won't delay you."
Qi Heizhao walked around the two alleys slowly with the birds and arrived at a shop selling braised goods.
The man with yellow teeth was squatting under an old tree with leaves falling off at the entrance of the alley, gnawing a duck neck. Seeing Qi Heibiu coming, he grinned, "How is the matter done?"
"Hey, there is no trouble at all, it's a good match. It's very abide by the rules. I don't think there is much oil or water in the shop." Qi Heizhao threw the broken silver to the yellow teeth.
Huangya stretched out his greasy hand and took it, stuffed it into his sleeve, and asked again, "Does that person have any problems?"
Qi Heiyu said, "I am just an ordinary man, I laugh at people. I think it's not a problem to have a full meal. If a new store is opened, there is no one who can even arrange it except a guy, and there is no background."
Huang Ya nodded with satisfaction and said, "I heard that someone in Fengyifang wants to open a new room, so Lord Zuo is a little unhappy. You can find something for you in the past two days. Remember not to be greedy for others' money. Anyway, you have to make the business impossible to run."
