Chapter 827: Encounter on the street
The naughty boy was so happy that his nose was boiling. He took the pears, bowed and thanked them, stuffed them into his arms, and then ran away with a chest full of chicken and stewed mushrooms.
Orange Mrs. Li and others were amused by the naughty boy and laughed until they entered the door of the old house. Only then did Mrs. Li realize that her granddaughter was still following behind.
Surely no one recognized it!
Old Mrs. Li couldn't say what she said, so she could only say: "If you want to go to the city, go to the city. You must be back in two hours!"
He jumped up with a cheer at the good news!
Soon, Jiaren, Li Geer, Lu Zong, and Jia Xu all heard the news and quickly dressed up, preparing to follow the car to be the "flower protectors".
Jiayin carefully repaired the disguise to make it more realistic, and then followed his brothers into the carriage.
To avoid being spotted, she didn't even bring Shui Ling or Shui Yun with her.
Fortunately, Jiaren asked Zheng Sanjiang to follow his sister, and Ye Shan also jumped on the carriage.
With them staying close at hand, even if someone discovers him, it may not be able to harm Jiayin.
What's more, Lu Zong also brought twenty guards...
The carriage left the village all the way, and the good news was like a bird out of its cage. He pushed the window open a small gap and kept looking around excitedly.
Jiaren and Lu Zong all laughed when they saw her, and they didn't pull her back until they reached the city gate.
The location where the Liu family's and Wang's stores are located is not the most prosperous location in the middle of the shopping street, but it is not bad.
ˆ Counting from the commercial street, it happens to be the fifth and sixth stores.
If you get off the carriage at the street corner, you can walk more than ten feet to get there.
The Wang family's shop is on the first floor, with three neatly arranged facades and a large courtyard at the back.
It can accommodate people on weekdays, and can also store some grain, oil and dry goods.
The Liu family's shop next door has two floors. The first floor sells fabrics, and the second floor is an embroidery shop where you can customize clothes.
The second floor occupies a relatively large area, so the backyard is inevitably smaller, but it also has a kitchen, a well, and three main rooms where people can live.
Jiayin originally wanted to open two shops, sell fresh food on the first floor, and sell hot pot or barbecue on the second floor.
But after walking around for a while, she changed her mind again.
It is better to turn the three shops into fruit and vegetable stores, and turn the two-story building next door into a restaurant that combines grilling and hotpot.
In this way, the business of fruit and vegetable stores may be lighter in summer, but they will make a lot of money in winter.
It is a restaurant that combines barbecue and hotpot. In summer, it sells grilled skewers and various braised dishes and cold dishes. In winter, it sells hot pot or barbecue.
Whether it’s winter or summer, as long as the breeze blows and the fragrance wafts up, everyone will be salivating, and the money will flow into the money box like water...
Jiaren saw his sister standing in the yard, drooling and giggling. He quickly stepped forward to stop her and asked in a low voice: "Fu Niu'er, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and measure and survey. Let's go home after we're done."
Jiayin quickly wiped her saliva and looked around. There was indeed no outsider, so she took her eldest brother’s arm and said with a smile: “Brother, these two shops will definitely be our family’s treasure trove in the future!”
Jiaren couldn't help laughing at his sister's money obsession, but he still scratched her nose and corrected her: "This is your cornucopia, not ours.
“This shop is in your name, and we won’t be able to help you run the business in the future. Of course, all the money you earn will be yours.
"Don't even think about sharing it with us again. Keep it for yourself. You can also put it in the dowry list when you get married."
Jiayin smiled and said nothing.
The shop may be hers, but after earning money, she still has to buy some nice things for her brother as a thank you gift.
Without my brothers going to the Poetry Club, these two shops wouldn’t exist.
However, it’s not easy to argue about these things outside now. It’s not too late to talk about it when you get home.
Lu Zong and Jia Xu were also wandering around, listening to the conversation between the Jiaren brothers and sisters, and they couldn't help but be envious.
There are also brothers and sisters in their family. Although they have never harmed each other, there is competition when it comes to concubines, family property, and the preferences of the elders...
If there are too many fights, we will not be able to get close to each other.
Like the Li brothers and sisters, they can only think about it, but they cannot achieve it at all...
After spending more than half an hour, Jiayin finally surveyed both shops clearly. She stuffed the small notebook into her arms, and then said to her brothers with a smile: "My brothers are tired from following me today. Come on, let's go home for dinner. I will cook two delicious dishes myself!"
Brother Cat was the first to cheer, "Great, I want to eat meat! My legs have become thin these days and I need to make up for it."
Everyone laughed, and Lu Zong said, "Your legs are already thin, but you can't rely on my sister."
Jiaren asked Zheng Liu to pack the carriage and take a look in the shop. If there was nothing missing, he led everyone out.
Jiayin bent down, changed back to a young boy, and followed his brothers behind.
Everyone was chatting and laughing as they went out. Zheng Sanjiang quickly locked both shops.
Something happened at the corner of the street, causing a group of people to watch and make a lot of noise.
Jiayin was curious for a moment and took a look while standing on the steps.
As a result, she didn't see any excitement, but she heard someone whispering a question next to her.
“Sister Jiayin?”
Jiayin was startled and turned around to see Baozhu with a maid standing just a few steps away.
Xu Shi recognized her completely. Baozhu dropped the maid and ran forward in surprise.
She pulled Jiayin’s hand with surprise on her face and asked in a low voice: “Sister Jiayin, why are you pretending to be a servant? I almost didn’t recognize you!”
Jiayin rolled her eyes, turned around to see if there was no suspicious person around, then took the orb and stood behind her brothers.
She asked in a low voice: "You are still talking about me! Aren't you also pretending to be a servant? What's going on, you also sneaked out?"
Baozhu giggled and touched her nose shyly, "My mother won't let me go out to play. I really have no choice but to pretend to be a boy, sneak out to buy some delicious food, and then go back quickly, so my mother won't find out. !”
Jiayin looked around. This was not a good place to talk, so he said to Jiaren, "Brother, please go back to the shop and sit for a while. There are too many people here."
Jiaren nodded, and everyone opened the door of the shop and retreated.
In the backyard of the two-story building, the three main rooms are close to the alley at the back. All the tables, chairs and benches have been left in the house, so they can take a break.
Jiayin tugged at Baozhu's clothes, his eyes full of helplessness.
“You even want to pretend to be a servant, but you should also act like one.
“Whose boy makes clothes and pants out of silk?
“Also, do any of the boys wear gold earrings?
“Does the boy look so fair, fat and clean?”
Baozhu was a little itchy when she pulled him, so he smiled and hid, and quickly begged for mercy.
“Oh, sister Jiayin, don’t be too serious, I just come out to have fun and don’t do bad things!
“It doesn’t matter if others recognize that I am a girl. Who can arrest me in broad daylight?”
After saying that, she changed her subject and asked: "Sister Jiayin, my mother said you were going to hide at home, why did you come out? I also wanted to buy some delicious food and have someone deliver it to you!"
After saying that, she hugged Jiayin and acted like a baby, but her stomach rumbled.
As if it was contagious, Jiayin's stomach also started to growl.
Then it’s Cat Brother’s, Li Brother’s…
Jiaren was amused, so he said, "I see there is a row of sheds in the back alley selling snacks. Why not buy a few bowls of wontons or something to fill your stomach first."
Before the words were spoken, someone was shouting outside the courtyard wall, "Fresh meat glutinous rice balls, freshly made meat glutinous rice balls!"
Brother Cat jumped up at that time and shouted, "I'll buy it!"
Jiaren ordered, "Take Sanshu Zheng with you and be careful."
