Chapter 68： Opening a store

Liu Xiaoru did not expect that Zhang Yunniang would be so ruthless, and she would not do it even if she saw that the business was making huge profits every day.

She doesn't have to earn this money, but Zhang Yunniang and Niuniu have to earn it!

Liu Xiaoru gritted her teeth and said: "Sister, I am willing to take 20% of the profit. We still have to do the business that we should do well. If you don't think about your brother-in-law, you should also think more about Niuniu and several nephews. When the children are older, in the future, There are many places where money is needed at home.”

Zhang Yunniang still refused to accept it.

Liu Xiaoru rolled her eyes and said, "Sister, it's not just my money that's used to open this shop. My brother-in-law has to take care of it, otherwise there will be scoundrels coming to harass me all the time, and the shop won't be able to open."

"The ability to open the shop depends entirely on the formula that Niu Niu accidentally obtained. This is the foundation of the shop."

"I get 20%, and you and Niuniu each get 40%. This is very reasonable."

Zhang Yunniang still shook her head and said: "I can't let you get the least. The shop is open, and you may be the only one working in the shop. I don't know how hard it will be then."

When Liu Xiaoru heard this, she felt that her sister was really a person who accepted death.

She could only say helplessly: "Then I will take 30%. If there is any more, I am determined not to take it."

When things got to this point, Zhang Yunniang couldn't do anything to her and said, "I've never seen anyone like you who doesn't even need the money he got."

Liu Xiaoru said with a smile: "What do I need so much money for? As long as I can stay with my sister and Niu Niu, it will be fine. If I really run out of money, will my sister still ignore me?"

Zhang Yuniang didn't understand why. She obviously didn't have much contact with Liu Xiaoru, but she couldn't help but want to get close. In just two months of knowing each other, the relationship between the two had grown by leaps and bounds, and they seemed to be no different from sisters.

After Gu Mingda left the inn, he went straight to the county government office with the gift.

As soon as Chen Captou saw him, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Mingda! No, I should call you Mr. Gu now. You have given us the face of Guang'an County Magistrate this time. You came first in the hospital examination. You don't know, the county How happy your lord is to know this!"

Gu Mingda looked ashamed and said: "Brother Chen, you are too embarrassed by me. You are my eldest brother. Isn't it weird to call you sir like an outsider? If you keep doing this, I won't dare to come to you for a drink next time." ”

When Capt. Chen heard this, he had a real smile on his face.

The county police officer looks respectable, but in fact he is a low-ranking official. Chen Captor knows that a smart person like Gu Mingda will never be like those rotten scholars who pretend to be scholars after they have won the title of scholar. Dust free.

Gu Mingda took out another gift that he had prepared a long time ago and handed it to Chen Baotou, saying that it was a specialty brought back from Fucheng.

Chen Captou was really flattered now. He knew that Gu Mingda was here to see the county magistrate, but he didn't expect that he would also receive a gift.

"I don't know if Fucheng's famous salty snacks are in line with Brother Chen's wishes." Gu Mingda said with a smile.

After Chen Captou took it, he said: "What the scholar brought back, how could it not be to your taste?"

Gu Mingda not only brought special products to Chen Captou, but also the county magistrate, county magistrate, and master, all of them were also left behind.

Of course, the gift brought to the county magistrate is naturally the heaviest.

Magistrate Wu didn't care about this gift. This time Gu Mingda won the case. When he reports his work to the peak next year, this matter will also be mentioned seriously. After all, the number of scholars, candidates, and Jinshi under his rule are all The result of the county magistrate's meritorious education.

He was also very happy when he saw Gu Mingda and kept holding hands, much closer than before.

Gu Mingda said with a smile: "The student is lucky enough to be a scholar this time, all thanks to your generous teachings. Although the student has only achieved a small amount of achievements, he is very anxious. He just returned from Fucheng today, so he hurried to see you. I hope you don't think that the student rash."

In fact, County Magistrate Wu only gave Gu Mingda two pointers, but he felt very comfortable after hearing these words. He became a little closer to him and said, "You are also very enlightened. If it were anyone else, no matter how many times you point it out, it would probably be useless." , not to mention that you are still taking the exam."

Gu Mingda smiled shyly, and he still gave all the credit to Magistrate Wu.

Magistrate Wu felt close to him, so he inevitably became a little more concerned about you, and said: "I knew you were a talented scholar all those years ago, and my heart aches when I see your pearls being dusted in the dust. Are you sure of your fate next autumn? "

Gu Mingda shook his head and said: "It's a fluke that I passed the college examination. I don't have much confidence next autumn. If adults are willing to continue to give guidance, then the students will think..." Magistrate Wu immediately felt happy when he heard this. With a smile, he said: "You are just too outsider. Although we don't have the title of master and disciple, I regard you as my disciple in my heart. If you don't understand anything, just come and ask for advice."

After receiving this promise, Gu Mingda immediately stood up and bowed to Magistrate Wu.

Maybe he felt that Gu Mingda really had potential, or maybe he was so happy this time that Magistrate Wu actually kept him at the same table for the first time.

In the past, Gu Mingda had done many things for him in the county town, but he had never received such treatment. When Gu Mingda left, Magistrate Wu asked the master to see him off personally.

After leaving the county government office, Gu Mingda went to the next place without stopping.

Shopkeeper Li burst out laughing when he saw Gu Mingda's old face: "Mr. Gu, you've got the head of the case this time. If you go back to your home to have a drink, don't forget us."

"If we have a banquet at home, no one will forget you." Gu Mingda replied.

Shopkeeper Li also knew that Gu Mingda came here for no reason, so he took people into the back room to talk in detail.

An hour later, Gu Mingda stood up to say goodbye and continued to the next place.

He had almost no rest for most of the day, and when he returned to the inn, it was already dark.

Seeing that he looked tired, Zhang Yuniang quickly dipped the handkerchief in water and handed it to him.

Gu Mingda took a wet handkerchief and wiped it on his face randomly before saying: "The shop has been rented."

Zhang Yuniang knew that her husband had many connections in the county, but she didn't expect that he would be able to get things done so quickly.

"I rented a shop on Yuanbao Street. There is a shop in the front and a residence in the back. There are three rooms." Gu Mingda said.

Zhang Yunniang was slightly confused: "Xiaoru lives alone, so she needs such a big place?"

Gu Mingda said: "I also bought a mother-in-law. I was thinking about how uneasy your sister would be living alone in the county. Whether this mother-in-law will serve her in the future or help in the store, she can always have more people and more people." If the business gets busy later, you will probably have to live in this room."

"Where did you find this shop?" Zhang Yunniang was very curious.

"Shopkeeper Li helped me find it. This is his property. I signed a one-year contract with him directly," Gu Mingda said.

Zhang Yunniang nodded.

Gu Mingda thought carefully and explained: "Although Yuanbao Street is not very prosperous, the aroma of braised meat spreads for ten miles, so it is not difficult to do business. Just two steps away from the street is Mr. Chen's house. I have already said hello to him. I will turn around." When the braised meat is out of the pot, I will send another to the Yamen. If anything happens in the store in the future, just call him. "

After Gu Mingda finished speaking, maybe he was too tired. After washing briefly, he fell on the bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, the family went to Yuanbao Street to look at the shops.

This shop seems to have been a food business in the past. It has all the shelves and counters, and there is no need to add any extra ones. There are also wooden beds and wardrobes in the back room, so you only need to bring a bedding to move in.

Zhang Yunniang also took a look at the woman her husband bought. Mrs. Feng had a dark brown birthmark on her face. She had low eyebrows and quick hands and feet. She looked like an honest person.

At this time, in a town not far from Qingshui Village, a group of middle-aged men with long sticks broke into a house directly.

Two white-striped bodies on the bed in the room heard the sound and hurriedly ran away, but in the end it was too late.

"Catch the adulterer! Catch the adulterer! Submerge in the pond! Dip in the pig cage!"

Zhang Guangzong, who was on the bed, happened to see the man in the head. It was the husband of his mistress, Doufu Xishi, a businessman who was said to have gone on a long trip yesterday!
