Chapter 35

By the time we got to the county, it was already 12 noon.

Zhang Qianxiu went to Shude hall first.

The old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine has already given the decocted medicine.

After Zhang Qianxiu drank the medicine, the old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine gave him a massage. After two days of massage, the bruise on his body really improved a lot. The old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine is still good.

Huang enquan looked at Zhang Qianxiu's upper body, which was covered with cyan and purple bruises. There was almost no good place, and his scalp was numb.

Judging from Zhang Qianxiu's experience, most of the injuries are caused by fighting. It's impossible for him to get hurt by falling. But I can't guess what happened.

If Zhang Qianxiu doesn't say it, Huang enquan is not easy to ask. Huang enquan is very curious about how Zhang Qianxiu, who has always been a good boy in the village, could fight and get such serious injuries. He often fights with people in the street, but he has never suffered such serious injuries.

Zhang Jiankang is much simpler. Sitting on the side, he smiles without asking.

Before leaving, the old doctor said, "when you go back in the afternoon, remember to change the medicine on your waist."

"Yes, thank you, old man!" Zhang Qianxiu answered.

After leaving Shude hall, Zhang Qianxiu took two people to dinner and ordered a fried meat, a green vegetable and an egg soup.

Zhang Qianxiu still didn't have much appetite. He ate a bowl of rice and drank some soup.

Zhang Jiankang ate five bowls of rice, and the boss finally overcharged Zhang Qianxiu 20 cents for his meal.

After dinner, Zhang Qianxiu rushed to set up a stall.

Just didn't put for a while, four or five middle-aged men came over, scolded and said: "it's not allowed to set up stalls here, let's go!"

There are a lot of people who are setting up stalls here. No one is in a hurry, so they stare at Zhang Qianxiu.

Huang enquan, unconvinced, said, "so many people are setting up stalls. Why don't we set them up?"

Several men's faces were not good. Huang enquan talked back. Their faces became more and more gloomy. The leader gave a sneer: "I'm from the market management department. This area is under the control of the market. I said that if I can't swing, I can't swing. Go away!"

Huang enquan still wants to argue. Zhang Qianxiu has already pulled him.

Nowadays, agricultural taxes are heavy. Most people don't have surplus grain. Ordinary farmers sell dozens or even tens of kilograms of rice, which they squeeze out from their teeth.

Zhang Qianxiu is only a few hundred catties. It's not normal at first sight. Nine times out of ten, he is a peddler. Even if he is not a peddler, he will catch up with him if he sells so much.

Zhang Qianxiu took a bag of Hongtashan from his body.

He usually takes two packages, one is Hongtashan. The cigarettes cost ten yuan a package. Now they are absolutely high-grade cigarettes; The other package is 20 cents of wild camellia, produced by the county cigarette factory.

Zhang Qianxiu gave cigarettes to several market administrators with a smile: "several leaders, I'm really sorry, smoke first."

Seeing that it was Hongtashan, the leading middle-aged man took it, and his face softened a little: "it's useless for you to pass us cigarettes. We are working. The management asked us to hurry up. If you don't leave, we will be scolded."

Zhang Qianxiu finished sending cigarettes and said with a smile, "we understand this. We are in the rice business and know the rules. We just came here today and are going to rent a stall in it."

The leading middle-aged man took a surprised look at Zhang Qianxiu. He chased a lot of people. The peddlers pretended to be poor and claimed that they would sell a little occasionally, but not often. Zhang Qianxiu admitted it directly.

Moreover, Zhang Qianxiu looks young. He thinks that Zhang Qianxiu doesn't know how to be human and worldly, and he doesn't know how to turn around. He is honest and sincere, so he says it directly.

Moreover, Zhang Qianxiu is not old, and his son is about the same age. He has some good feelings for Zhang Qianxiu in his heart.

The leading middle-aged man said: "if you want to rent a shop in it, there is no good position. But there are still two shops in it. It's too close to the inside. No one wants it. After renting it several times, it won't last long."

Most people don't directly say that if they rent a shop, they will lose money. But they don't care about him. He works in the market management office.

Zhang Qianxiu had already seen it when he helped people to buy goods. He asked with a smile, "leader, I have no acquaintances in this first business. How much is the shop in this one for a month?"

The leading middle-aged man looked at Zhang Qianxiu and said, "young man, I think you are on the road and honest. It's not easy for you to get a living when you are young. I'll tell you the truth. If you rent that shop, it's also a loss. I suggest you go to the open-air market in front of you and sell it. As long as you hide well, you can make some money."

Zhang Qianxiu originally wanted to sell out today's rice and then go to the management office. He didn't expect that the management office was so strict with the peddlers. The next day, he arranged for people to rush in. So he took advantage of the situation to bring up the rental shop and go to have a look!

Zhang Qianxiu said: "leaders, I think business depends on honesty and skills. It's not a matter to set up stalls everywhere. Why don't you take me to see the store? If it's suitable, I'll rent it. If it's not suitable, we'll leave at once. You won't be embarrassed. "

The leading middle-aged man didn't say much when he saw Zhang Qianxiu's insistence: "OK! But I suggest you don't rent it. It's a bad place. "

"It's OK, just have a look!" Zhang Qianxiu said, "by the way, I don't know what to call the leader?"

The middle-aged man said, "my name is Wei Hongguo."

After Wei Hongguo entered the market, there were two grain and oil sellers at the door of the market. Zhang Qianxiu also sold rice to them.

Further inside, there is another one. The whole county's grain and oil shops are basically here. There is only one at the end of the county. The business of that one is not very good. The residents around buy it because they are close to each other.

Go all the way to the innermost corner of the market. The two facades are close to each other. This place is dry, but it's too far away.

The place with the largest flow of people in the vegetable market is usually on the side of selling vegetables and pork.

The vegetable stall is opposite. There are only a few people selling beef and mutton in this corner, so basically no one comes inside.

The business of several stores around is not very good.

Wei Hongguo pointed to the two facades: "these are the only two. I don't have the key, but the pattern inside is the same as those on the side."

Zhang Qianxiu took a look at the store next door and estimated that it was thirty or forty square meters, about five meters wide and eight meters deep.

Zhang Qianxiu only wanted to sell rice, not oil, flour and so on. This wide space is more than enough.

Zhang Qianxiu is not satisfied with this place, but he doesn't think it's bad.

Today's businesses actually don't have many marketing means. Although Zhang Qianxiu didn't come from marketing, he can use any of those means in later generations. He doesn't dare to beat all his competitors, but he can lock in a lot of customers.

Zhang Qianxiu asked again, "leader, how much is the rent for these two rooms?"

When Wei Hongguo saw that Zhang Qian really wanted to, he said, "it's no use asking me. I'm just an employee. You have to ask the director. He's in charge of the booth rental here."

Zhang Qianxiu knows very well that Wei Hongguo must know how much the rent here is, and he is also an internal employee. If he helps to say a good word, maybe the rent will be less.

Zhang Qianxiu took out his cigarette, gave it another round, and said to Wei Hongguo, "leader, how much is the rent of the next few houses?"

Wei Hongguo hesitated for a moment and said, "it's nothing to tell you. The two shops are on the side of one hundred and forty-one months, one hundred and six on the outside, and one hundred and eight on the outside. All the two hundred behind, the row of vegetables on the other side and the four rooms at the entrance are two hundred and sixty-one months."

"For the two innermost shops, one month's rent is one hundred and two."

Hearing that, Zhang Qianxiu thought that the rent was very cheap. He could earn it by selling it casually.

Zhang Qianxiu came to Wei Hongguo and said, "leader, you work here. Can you tell the director about it and give us a little cheaper?"

Although Wei Hongguo had a good idea of Zhang Qianxiu, he was not so kind-hearted.

Just want to refuse, feel Zhang Qianxiu stuffed things in their own hands.

Looking down, it was two tens.

Twenty yuan is quite a lot. It's worth a week's salary.

"You help me bargain, no matter how much cheaper, I'll give you double red envelopes afterwards! Even if it's not too much, it'll give you a cigarette. " Zhang Qianxiu said in a low voice.

Wei Hongguo took the money and looked back at the other people. No one noticed their little action and said in a loud voice: "young man, I told you before that the location is not good. If you really want to rent it, it's not easy to see you. I'll bargain with the director, and then you can buy some cigarettes for us."

Zhang Qianxiu immediately said with a smile: "no problem, a few leaders, you help to say good things, no matter whether it is successful or not, you will not treat them badly."

When Wei Hongguo saw that Zhang Qianxiu was on the road, he didn't care whether he would lose money when he opened the shop. Anyway, he had already said what he should say. He pondered it for a while and said, "later, you will say that you and my son are classmates. My son is about the same age as you. Are you sixteen or seventeen?"

Zhang Qianxiu nodded: "yes, I am 16 this year. I graduated from junior high school this year."

"That's just right. My son also graduated from junior high school and studied in chenmu middle school. You remember that." Wei Hongguo thought for a moment and said, "I have to give the director a gift. You can buy a cigarette for ten yuan."

Zhang Qianxiu immediately replied, "OK, I'll buy it right away."
