And Man Bao, who ran to Bai's house in a hurry, had no idea what the commotion at home was because of her words. She had just finished eating the noodles, and now she saw Bai Erlang and Bai Shan sitting at the small table eating,

She was a little greedy again, feeling as if she was hungry again after talking.

The servants of the Bai family brought bowls and chopsticks to Man Bao. Man Bao picked up a small white steamed bun and ate it carefully with the vegetables.

Bai Dalang can already get out of bed and walk around. He is also sitting at the dining table, holding a bowl of gruel and eating slowly. He takes a spoonful and looks up at the food on the table. He takes a bite, and then looks up at the man sitting next to him.

Three people...

He never had a bad appetite, he swore, but right now, he felt so uncomfortable.

Man Bao slowly finished the steamed bun in his hand, then stopped his chopsticks, looked at the food on the table with regret, and said: "You can't eat any more, or you will burst."

Bai Dalang felt even more uncomfortable.

Because he was taking medicine, he only ate white porridge and felt it was very tasteless, so he couldn't finish it after just one bowl. Of course, he didn't feel full, he just didn't feel hungry.

Man Bao also comforted him, "It's okay. You'll be full after taking the medicine. You should take the medicine in half an hour."

Bai Dalang:......

Manbao's medicine is obviously effective. With acupuncture, he has stopped having diarrhea. The next step is to take medicine to detoxify, soothe the outside and inside, and then use acupuncture to reconcile yin and yang.

Bai Dalang was really relieved, and everyone in the Bai family also breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere in the family, which was originally stagnant, became relaxed again.

Chen Bo went to Bai Erlang to borrow money again.

Bai Erlang took Chen Bo to Bai Dalang and asked their cousins ​​to have a chat.

Bai Dalang pulled Chen Bo, who had an ugly face, and said, "Cousin, don't blame Erlang. It's not that he doesn't want to lend you money, but he is afraid that you will be cheated."

He said: "Do you know how much a shop in the county town costs? You can buy one for one hundred and eighty taels, with a good location and a larger space. Two or three hundred taels is enough, so you can buy a shop in a cloth shop."

How can it be eight hundred and fifty taels?"

The subtext is, don't you want to be deceived?

Chen Bodao: "The location of the shop is excellent. It's not far from your school. It's the most lively place. The shop is quite big. There are two entrances in the front and back. People can live in the back. The front has two floors and two facades...

"

The more Bai Dalang heard it, the more familiar it became. He had studied in a government school for three years. He was stunned for a while and then asked: "I remember that is Yiyilou, right?"

"Yes, the owner of Yiweilou is going back to his hometown, so he wants to sell it. It is because I am familiar with his son, so he sold it to me at a cheap price."

Bai Dalang: "...you open a cloth shop, why do you need such a big place?"

It used to be a big restaurant!

Chen Bodao: "My cloth shop not only sells fabrics, but also sells ready-made clothes. Naturally, it needs to be well-arranged to facilitate business."

Bai Dalang:...none of the cloth shops in Beijing have such a big display, right? There are only two facades...

He lay down on the bed with a headache and waved: "My stomach seems to hurt again. Erlang, please go and call Manbao for me."

Bai Erlang was stunned when he heard this, turned around and left in a daze.

When Bai Erlang went out, Bai Dalang couldn't hold back and slapped him hard on the shoulder, "Cousin, have you told your uncle about this?"

"My father doesn't allow me to go out to work," Chen Bo said gloomily: "He just wants me to study at home, but it's not like you don't know that I'm not good at studying and can't even pass the county school entrance examination. If I continue to study,

What’s the point?”

"My wife is pregnant with a child now, so I can't continue to manage the estate with my uncle at home, right? It's boring."

Their family's financial resources were similar to those of the Bai family, but his grandfather had three sons, and he had two younger brothers. His two uncles also had two sons each, so the expenses were very high. They spent a lot of money every month.

A person's monthly money is only two taels of silver.

Look at Bai Dalang and Bai Erlang. Bai Erlang has earned 2 taels of silver per month since he was very young, and 5 taels per month for older people. Later, a small village was directly allocated to him to run, and he kept all the profits.

And when I went to the capital, I had enough pocket money, not counting Zhuangzi's income.

Not to mention Bai Dalang, they are the same age, only two months apart. As a result, their lives are very different. When he only had 20 taels of silver, he had 5 taels, and when he only had 2 taels of silver, he had

There are ten taels, and when he still only has two taels of silver per month, he has enough money per month.

But Bai Dalang felt his heart ached. He said: "That's not how business works. My father said that in business, you should use small things to make big gains. You have spent so much money in the early stage. Have you ever thought about how much money you can make in a month?"

"How many people can there be in Mianzhou? Who still goes to the cloth shop every day to buy clothes and fabrics?" Bai Dalang said: "You do it in the opposite direction. Do you know that the gain is not worth the loss?"

Chen Bo frowned, stood up and said, "If you don't want to just tell me directly, why are you belittling me like this?"

Bai Dalang was angry when he heard this, and immediately said: "Okay, you don't want to listen, right? I can just lend it to you, and you don't have to ask Erlang to borrow it. I will take you to my father and ask my father to lend it to you. You can write him a letter."

IOU, you will pay him back later."

Chen Bo shrank his neck and became timid again, "How can this be good..."

"Why not? I think it's very good. If you are confident that you can run this shop well, as you said, you can pay back the money in one or two years. What are you afraid of?"

Chen Bo stopped talking.

Bai Dalang stopped talking about him and turned his back and said, "Go back and think about it. My stomach hurts again, so I won't entertain you anymore."

Chen Bo turned around and left.

Bai Dalang exhaled and slowly calmed down the anger in his chest.

Man Bao was approached by Bai Erlang and felt his pulse. After saying there was no problem, Man Bao sat aside and said, "We met Chen Bo when we came here just now. He snorted at Bai Er angrily and left."

Bai Erlang stood aside with his head lowered, feeling quite disappointed. Originally, he was quite excited about the loan. After all, he was quite happy to be able to lend such a large sum of money, but in the end, he ended up like this.

He sighed and said, "Actually, if my grandfather and uncle can guarantee my cousin, I would still be willing to lend it to him, regardless of whether he will lose money in the end."

Bai Dalang, Man Bao and Bai Shan:...

Bai Shandao: "Don't let cousin Chen hear this, he will go crazy."

Bai Dalang rubbed his belly, stood up and said, "Where's dad? I'm going to find him."

"In the study room."

Bai Dalang stretched out his hand towards Bai Erlang, and Bai Erlang looked at his hand for a while before he realized what he was doing, and stepped forward to help him up. The two brothers went to the study to find Mr. Bai.
