The more Jiang Qingshu came out of the shop, the more he felt that something was amiss. He had worked with them for so many years, and he knew very well what kind of character they had. Why did they reject all five taels of silver today?
Five taels of silver was not a large sum, but it was still a small sum!
Why was that?
The more Jiang Qingshu thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. He quickly walked over to his butcher's shop.
It was sunset when Jiang Qingshou returned. Jin Xiaoyan was packing up the leftover half a plate of pork. When she looked up and saw her husband returning, she couldn't help but notice that something was wrong with his face.
"What's wrong? Didn't he go to deliver the meat to the cashier? Why did he come back with a straight face? It was Keeper Qian who urged you to return the money? "
Other than money, Jin Xiaoyan really couldn't think of anything else that could make Jiang Qingshu act this way.
"Yan Zi, tell me, why do you think Shopkeeper Qian is so strange today? Normally, you pay close attention to matters related to money. But today, five taels of silver actually doesn't take it seriously at all."
Jin Xiaoyan was silent for a moment as she thought about Jiang Qingshu's words. She recalled the greedy face that was usually shown to her by the shopkeeper. A man like him wouldn't give up easily for no reason.
What had happened?
"Qing Shou, what did this Manager Qian say?"
Jiang Qingshu told them everything he had met this afternoon at Shopkeeper Qian's.
"What? You're saying that Jin Weiwei, that damned girl, actually let Shopkeeper Qian help her find a shop?"
Jin Xiaoyan's face changed at the mention of Jin Weiwei.
This Jin Weiwei had changed so much that she couldn't help but believe that her niece was no longer a fool.
"I didn't believe it at the beginning, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was amiss. Can this money be given to me for free?" They must be waiting for the money to double! "
Jiang Qingshou finally figured out what was on Shopkeeper Qian's mind, but he was gnashing his teeth in anger. Speaking of this unscrupulous businessman, who would dare to be number one and be number two?
"That won't do, we have to guard against Owner Qian, I'm almost done. Qing Shou, take this half piece of pork back to the warehouse, we'll make a trip back to the Qian Family in the dark."
With that, Jin Xiaoyan and Jiang Qingshou began to busy themselves. If Jin Weiwei really did open a shop in the county, then their business would plummet.
The attitude of the Qian Family was a living example. In addition, if Jin Weiwei hated them so much, she would definitely cause trouble for their butcher shop in the future.
After cleaning up quickly, the two of them quickly left without even having time to have dinner. After all, this matter could be said to be a life and death matter for their butcher, so naturally they had to order refreshments.
Just as the two of them arrived at the Qian house, Shopkeeper Qian had just turned off the lamp he was holding and was about to lock the door and walk out.
After all, they were here to investigate the military intelligence so they couldn't meet up with Keeper Qian. Jiang Qingshu dragged his wife behind a tree and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Shopkeeper Qian tightly protected his pockets. From the looks of it, he had a lot of money in his pocket. After all, the county was very different from the village, so he had to be careful when entering and leaving.
He strode quickly towards the west side of the city. Jin Xiaoyan and Jiang Qingshou naturally didn't dare to be careless as they followed closely behind Keeper Qian.
He walked up to a shop with a transfer notice on the door, reached into his pocket and walked in with a peaceful heart.
"Yanzi, what do you think Shopkeeper Qian came here for? Could it be that you're really looking for a store for that damned girl …" If that's really the case, then it's bad! "
The reason why Shopkeeper Qian didn't listen to Jin Weiwei was because he was afraid that losing the source of the goods would affect his family's business.
If Jin Weiwei brought the meat to the county, then Manager Qian would definitely stop their goods without a word.
And judging from the location of the shop, it was on the main street of Wangpu store, so there probably wouldn't be any loss at all.
"No!" "We can't let this happen! The Jiang family's butcher shop has been sitting in this county for so many years, we definitely can't let that girl suppress it. When the shopkeeper comes out, we'll go in and negotiate with the storekeeper to sell it, even if it costs us extra silver taels."
Jin Xiaoyan had a much longer horizon than Jiang Qingshou had thought. If he let Shopkeeper Qian buy them, they wouldn't have a chance to make a comeback.
Jiang Qingshou furrowed his brows. It seemed like he had to consider this store.
Although Jiang Qingshou thought the same way, the store was definitely a big deal. But since he had spent so much money, it was only natural that his heart ached to death.
"Wait a minute, have you thought about what the shop is for? If we go in, there will be no path of retreat. This money is definitely not in our hands. "
Jiang Qingshou's head hurt at the thought of spending money at the store. After all, within two to three months, the shop owner probably wouldn't agree.
However, this year, it would at least cost a few dozen silver taels.
In truth, Jin Xiaoyan hadn't thought about it too, but she knew that if she didn't seize this opportunity, her family's butcher shop would be in danger in the future.
If he spent the money right before his eyes, why wouldn't he do it?
"Qing Shou, we can discuss those things in the future. The most important thing right now is to not let this damn girl open her own shop, so let's not talk about that for now …" Manager Qian is about to come out. Quickly go in and have a chat with that shopkeeper. "
The moment Shopkeeper Qian walked out of the shop, Jin Xiaoyan pushed Jiang Qingshu to keep up.
The two saw that the shopkeeper had left their line of sight and slipped into the shop. They did not know the storekeeper, so they directly stated their purpose of coming.
"Innkeeper, was that fat man just now here to rent your store?"
It was good for everyone to have a conversation with someone they weren't familiar with, so Jin Xiaoyan didn't beat around the bush.
Furthermore, the man in front of her had a glib tongue, making him look like he wasn't someone who was easy to fool.
"Yes, what's wrong? What's the matter? "
"Shopkeeper, it's like this. The two of us found the notice at your door and entered. If it is, then we must be renting a shop."
Although Jiang Qishou didn't want to rent the shop, there was nothing they could do about it. They had no other way out.
The storekeeper still found it strange. He had hung up the notice for less than half a month without making a sound. What was going on today? Did all the people who rented the shop come knocking on his door?
However, regret was useless against him. After all, he had already signed that contract. After all, five years had passed, and it was likely that even ordinary people would not be able to rent it.
I'm sorry, but if you don't continue with the matter of renting a shop, then it's because I just rented out the shop. As you can see, they have already paid a deposit of 100 silver coins and signed the contract.
