Chapter 41 Entering the City

Before Li Zongyou's face for a month, Li Xiaoyao came up with a new idea that Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng would definitely nod: go to Zhengcheng to open a shop, it's best to find a suitable shop, do some suitable business, and find a suitable person to look at it, although Li Xiao can't be found in the streets next to the government office. At least he could hear the news at the level he hoped, but at least he could hear a little bit of the letter. Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng really agreed and called Li Zonggui, Li Erhuai, as well as Mrs. Sun and Sun Er to discuss it for half an hour. They all felt that Xiaoyao was worried that this method was also feasible. Aunt Sun and Sun Er were in charge. What's more, they strongly agree that they suffered the loss of the blind and the deaf, and they were only cleaned up in the middle of the night. The family that had been accumulated in the stockade for decades was moved clean.

When discussing who went to see the shop, several people had their own ideas. Li Xiaoyao wanted to pull Li Zonggui and the two of them to be the shopkeeper together. Li Zongliang refused. Li Zonggui also waved his hand desperately and suggested that Wei Shuisheng take Li Xiaoyao to be the shopkeeper. Wei Shuisheng felt that Sun Qidi was old and steady, and it was more appropriate to be a shopkeeper, but Li Xiaoyao resolutely opposed it. Sun Qidi was too honest to be sold later, and he had to help a few people! This is not just a matter of doing business as a shopkeeper.

Aunt Sun looked at Sun Er's head of the house and hesitated to put forward her suggestion to let Sun Er be the head of the shopkeeper. Li Erhuai subconsciously opened her mouth and objected, "What's this?"

Without waiting for Li Zongliang to speak, Li Xiaoyao raised his hands and agreed repeatedly: "Sister Sun is still thoughtful. It's really appropriate for Uncle Sun to go. First, Uncle Sun is kind. At first glance, he is a businessman. Second, Uncle Sun is smart on his account. Third, such a shrewd person as Uncle Sun will definitely not suffer losses. !"

Wei Shuisheng frowned and didn't say anything. He looked at Li Xiaoyao and waited for her to talk. There must be a turning point behind her. Li Xiaoyao looked at Aunt Sun, who was slightly relaxed, and then said, "But Uncle Sun must be too busy alone. Naturally, it is not easy to use outsiders in a shop like ours, so let Jiang Shuncai Let's follow Uncle Sun to see the shop and be a buddy with Zhang Gouzi.

Wei Shuisheng turned his head and looked at Li Zongliang and said with a smile, "It's also appropriate. How about the eldest brother?"

"What does second uncle mean?" Li Zongliang turned his head and looked at Sun Er's head. Sun Er looked at Aunt Sun with pity and nodded and replied, "Oi! As long as the head of the family can believe it, it will be easy to do.

Li Zongliang breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at everyone. Li Erhuai nodded repeatedly: "I listen to my eldest brother."

"I think it's okay!" Li Zonggui showed his attitude with a relaxed smile. Just now, he was shocked when he heard Li Xiaoyao mention that she and he went to see the shop with him. He can't control this lawless little sister!

"Well, since everyone thinks it's appropriate, that's it's settled. However, now that Shuncai and Gouzi are in charge of the sentry on the mountain. I don't think they should follow them all. The young one will follow Uncle Sun, and the other who stays on the mountain is still in charge of this sentry. This is also a big deal. Don't take it lightly. The second uncle should pay attention to it. Choose two more suitable ones to take down." Li Zongliang looked at everyone and ordered in a concluding tone. Sun Er glanced at Li Xiaoyao and Wei Shuisheng and said with a smile, "Let the fifth master bother about this. I think it's really far worse than the fifth master."

Li Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows, tilted his head, and looked at Mrs. Sun with a clean smile and said, "Can the second uncle look at Fifth Brother Zhao? He doesn't talk much, he is clever, and he knows it well.

"What about the head of the family?" Sun Er's head did not answer Li Xiaoyao's words and turned his head to ask Li Zongliang. Li Zongliang said with a gentle smile, "You can do this matter as long as you like it. You can take anyone." Li Xiaoyao looked at Sun Er's head with a smile. Sun Er's head laughed cheerfully: "Since the head is trustworthy and the fifth master thinks it's appropriate, then Brother Zhao's two first. When we go to the city tomorrow to see the shop business, if the business is not big, the three of us will be enough. If we are looking for a large shop and want to do big business, more How many people will be used? Just choose after you set it up.

"Then let's leave early tomorrow morning, bring a change of clothes, stay in Zhengcheng for a few days, make a good choice, find a suitable shop, settle down and come back!" Li Xiaoyao said with joy. Mrs. Sun looked at Li Xiaoyao and laughed, "What are you going to do? Do you also know about this business?"

"The old lady doesn't know that in terms of doing business, Xiaoyao is a big businessman. In those years, he was in Taiping Mansion..." Li Zonggui vaguely replied to the back words, and Li Erhuai reached out and patted Li Xiaoyao's head: "Xiaoyao is the best way to make money! It's just like robbing money, but people are still willing to buy her things!"

Aunt Sun looked at Li Xiaoyao in surprise. Li Xiaoyao raised her chin and proudly expressed modesty: "No, it's just so-so."

Li Zongliang stood up with a smile, rubbed Li Xiaoyao's head, turned his head and looked at Sun Er's master and explained, "Xiaoyao is very well in business. Second, she looks at people and things, especially those Taoisms in the government. She knows everything. She doesn't have to hurry early tomorrow. Let the aquatic students go with you and bring enough money. I'm optimistic, and I won't send people back to say that the second uncle and Shuisheng discussed and decided.

Sun Er, the head of the family, quickly stood up and agreed politely.

The next day, after Chen Zheng, Wei Shuisheng pushed Li Xiaoyao, and Sun Er took Jiang Shuncai, Zhao Wuge, and a group of five people to Zhengcheng.

Entering the city, he settled down in the foot shop. The five people were divided into two roads. Li Xiaoyao and Wei Shuisheng were in one place. Sun Er took Jiang Shuncai and Zhao Wuge and went to two places in Li Xiaoyao's circle: the door of the government office and near the Hongxiang Building to find a shop. Wei Shuisheng refused to go to the area of the Hongxiang Tower anyway, so Li Xiaoyao had to follow him to several streets at the gate of the government office to find shops.

After looking for two or three days, several people finally took a fancy to a bowl-head shop across the street from the government office. The shop is small and only has a half a door face and a bottom on the first floor. However, although the door face is small, the inside is extremely spacious and bulging. Li Xiaoyao looks at two trees in the yard that have been in the yard for more than 100 years, but they are still full of vitality and full of green. The budd ginkgo tree, next to the wall on the left, and there was an unusually thick wisteria. Li Xiaoyao stood in the yard and looked at the brilliant and luxurious purple, which overflowed from his eyes and flowed into his heart. If summer comes, this wisteria is full of leaves, with ginkgo on the top and wisteria on the bottom. This shade is more or less attractive and comfortable! At that time, in this yard, under this wisteria shelf, put a few old rattan tables and chairs, and a clay potter bottle to insert a few wild flowers at will, which is a rare favor. Those elegant literati will definitely like it.

Li Xiaoyao is looking at trees and vines, but Sun Er is in charge of this extremely spacious courtyard, and the back is almost three main rooms, two wing rooms, even these, this shop is only 200 taels of silver, as the shop owner said, it is really cheap.

Li Xiaoyao took Wei Shuisheng and Sun Er to sit in a teahouse not far from the shop, drink tea, and look at the pedestrians passing by this street every day. Several government officials, some came out of the backyard of the government office, and some ran to the government office to do various things. After a few days, Li Xiaoyao was quite satisfied. On this street, There are north and south goods stores, four treasure shops in the study room, as well as a bookstore, a boot shop, and a hat shop. At least the buyers, long attendians and women in the backyard of the government office are regular customers on this street.

Zhang Gouzi and Brother Zhao Wu followed Li Xiaoyao's instructions and ran for a few days to find out who lived on the street, how many times they had moved, etc. After that, they were all old families. Several of them were still scholars. Li Xiaoyao had a good idea and made up his mind with Wei Shuisheng and Sun. The second head discussed some details in detail, and then patted the board. Wei Shuisheng came forward and came down to this pavement.

Sun Er is the shopkeeper of the Wei family. He moved into the shop on the same day with Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Wuge. Several people looked at the front and back of the shop carefully several times and discussed it. They decided to simply change the shop into a tea shop according to Xiaoyao's intention, mainly to drink tea, and then sell something more exquisite. Li Xiaoyao still has some experience in eating snacks and making snacks, and he is self-respecting that he can guide the head chef.

After discussion, they divided their own envoys and began to get busy. Sun Er was responsible for going out to find the right head. Li Xiaoyao and Wei Shuisheng discussed and decided to be next to the two rooms, and then come out from a small courtyard. The small courtyard was for Sun Er's head and Zhang Gouzi to live. In front of them, they simply took a wide porch, and then widened the door and interrupted. At the threshold, put the front and the yard together, and set up tables and chairs under the wisteria shelf on a sunny day. If it rains, set up a few tables and chairs under the wide porch to listen to the rain, drink tea and eat snacks.

Everything was roughly settled. Sun Er's head sent Zhao Wuge back to the mountain, took the house deed back, and then told Li Zongliang about the shop carefully, and took some money back according to the rough calculation of Sun Er's house.

Li Xiaoyao and Wei Shuisheng have been living in Zhengcheng for more than a month. They have been covering the courtyard wall, widening the corridor, repainting everywhere, adding tables and chairs, hanging calligraphy and painting on the four walls, decorated everywhere, and making water cards. They are almost busy. They chose an auspicious day and picked up firecrackers to set off. This small wisteria house It's open.

Sun Er is the head of the house, and now the shopkeeper of Sun. According to Li Xiaoyao's instructions, on the opening day, he took Zhao Wuge to send several tea soups and snacks to the government, and each person sent a circle of chips for wisteria. As long as those government officials and bookstores are willing to visit, Li Xiaoyao is also willing to pay.
