Friday Lang and Saturday Lang are still in shock, they are quite familiar with Shi Xiaoen, because in recent years, as long as their family can raise a good rooster, or someone in the village can raise a beautiful, strong, and fierce rooster.
They will take them to the county town and sell them to Shi Xiaoen.
Or when they took the money entrusted by Man Bao to buy meat, they would go to the casino street to find those cockfighters, and buy a rooster with them that ended miserably.
However, they usually look for acquaintances, and the so-called acquaintances are people who Uncle Shi has done business with them.
After going back and forth, they became more familiar.
Like Wu Wulang and the others who went to the city to sell ginger and yam, they would also sell some to Shi Xiaoen, so even if they didn't know who the famous Uncle Shi in the county was at the beginning, they knew it later.
The Shi family is neither the richest nor the most powerful in Luojiang County, but it must be able to rank among the top.
They never expected that Uncle Shi, who has always been generous, would be blocked by casinos to collect debts, and he would sell his shop at a low price for fifty taels.
Wu Wulang sighed, and the group of people following him couldn't help sighing too.
Holding the burden in his arms, Zhou Zhoulang also sighed.
Man Bao looked back at the group of nephews and nieces, and said: "You have all seen it, this is the end of gambling, and you are not allowed to be gamblers in anything in the future."
Everyone nodded together, and then glanced at Zhou Zhoulang in unison.
Thursday Lang: ...
Zhou Zhoulang coughed lightly, and changed the subject, "Actually, I also listened to my heartbeat just now. If we can buy a shop for one hundred taels, then we can make a lot of money. But think about it, there were so many people there at that time, we might grab it." But, and we didn’t bring enough money.”
Man Bao said, "Why do you buy a shop?"
"There are too many things that can be done. If you rent it out, you can earn one or two taels a month, right? Or if the second brother sells things in the future, he can sell them in the shop and don't need to go The stall was exposed to wind, sun and rain."
Zhou Zhoulang said: "There are also those things in our house, such as yam, ginger, they can all be sold in the shop, how good it is."
Man Bao thought for a while and said, "It's a pity that there is no shop in our village. Otherwise, if my sister-in-law opened a restaurant in the village, I would be able to eat the meals made by my sister-in-law all the time."
Zhou Zhoulang: "...Why does it have to be opened in the village, can't it be opened in the county?"
"I can't afford to drive in the county town."
Zhou Zhoulang was not too happy to talk to Man Bao.
Although he was very sorry, but because he had no money, this was nothing to worry about. Zhou Zhou Lang quickly led everyone back to Zhou Zhou Lang's place, and then paid for Saturday Lang and the others to buy buns and eat them back.
Er Tou sat beside his father, and told him with great interest what they did today, and incidentally mentioned what happened to Uncle Shi just now.
Zhou Zhoulang's heart moved, "The shop originally cost 180 taels, but only 100 taels?"
Two nods.
Zhou Zhoulang looked at Zhou Zhoulang and asked, "What kind of shop is that?"
Zhou Zhou Lang said: "Second brother, don't think about it. Someone has already asked for a price, and there are quite a few people robbing it. When we came back, the price was going up. Anyway, one hundred taels will definitely not be able to buy it."
Man Bao was curious, "Second Brother, Fourth Brother, why do you want to buy a shop so much?"
"What do you buy if you don't buy a shop?" Zhou Zhoulang said confidently: "It doesn't take so much money for the fifth and sixth to get married, and it will take many years for the big ones to marry a wife, so it is better to use the money at home to buy a shop. You can rent it or use it yourself.”
Tuesday Lang nodded, "The fifth child has also become a small child. After the Double Ninth Festival this year, Lizheng will come to the village to unify the land, so there is no shortage of land in the family, and no one in the village will sell land. So what else can we buy besides buying a shop?" ?”
Man Bao had never thought about this before, she was dumbfounded for a while, and said: "Take it to buy meat."
The two brothers: "... Man Bao, besides eating, what else do you think about?"
"Others?" Man Bao thought for a while and said, "Save the money and send Datou and the others to school. Mother always said that I can't be an official, but Datou and the others can."
"They can't, they can't even compare with one of your fingers in reading, how can you be an examiner?"
Datou and Liu Liulang went to buy buns, but Ertou was here, so he spoke instead of Datou, "That's right, sister-in-law, we don't want to go to school, we just need to learn from you."
A few people were talking about getting excited, Liu Liulang and the others came back with a big bag of lotus leaves, opened it, and there were buns inside.
Man Bao happily has one in his left hand and one in his right.
Now her appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and it is not a problem to eat two buns.
"Fourth brother, do you think Uncle Shi's shop has been sold?"
"It's sold, isn't there a lot of people asking for the price just now?"
Liu Liulang couldn't help laughing, and said cheerfully, "There are quite a lot. When I went to buy buns, they were vying for the price, and the price has already been shouted at one hundred and twenty taels."
"In the end, they started fighting after we bought the buns." Liu Liulang said with a smile: "I heard that one person shouted for one hundred and thirty taels and no one fought with him, but he himself regretted not wanting to buy it. So Uncle Shi’s shop still hasn’t been sold, and the people in the gambling shop are forcing them to take money or mortgage the shop.”
Zhou Zhoulang was quite regretful, "He must want cash, but unfortunately we don't have it."
Man Bao: "Do you dare to buy it if you have it?"
"Of course, it's rare that it's so much cheaper. Shops in the county are not easy to buy, because no one will sell them easily." Zhou Zhoulang said: "It's so easy to meet a shop that not only sells, but also has a good location, and the price can be almost lower. Is it easy for half the people?"
Man Bao touched the cloth bag and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Daddy will beat you up?"
"Father doesn't know how to beat me up," Zhou Zhoulang said, "Buying a store is like buying land, it's a real estate purchase."
Man Bao was thoughtful, "It turns out that as long as you are a homeowner, you will be happy..."
"Not necessarily. If you don't spend the money worthwhile, then dad is not happy, but... ahem, you know."
Man Bao grabbed the cloth bag and said, "I have one hundred taels!"
"We know you have it, but isn't yours at home?"
Man Bao grabbed the cloth bag and said nothing.
Zhou Zhoulang looked at her bulging cloth bag, and said "Huh", why do I feel that your cloth bag is swollen a lot... No, you mean it. "
"Fourth brother, let's buy it, and then let the fourth sister-in-law open a restaurant to make money,"
"Okay." Zhou Zhoulang became excited, took Man Bao and went to find Uncle Shi, but when he arrived at the place, the crowd had already dispersed, and even the debt collectors had left.
Zhou Zhoulang leaned over curiously and asked, "Uncle Shi, has your shop been sold?"
"No, it didn't sell."
"Then, are you still selling it?" Zhou Zhoulang said, "One hundred taels!"
Shi Xiaoen raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and said, "I won't sell it anymore, my father has helped me pay off the debt, so there is no need to sell the shop anymore."
Zhou Zhoulang felt a little regretful, and then said: "Uncle Shi, if you still want to sell the shop at a low price in the future, then you tell me, I will definitely come to see it, and definitely buy it!"
Shi Xiaoen: ... This person is looking forward to his bankruptcy and bad luck. Generally, unless the mountain is really exhausted, who will sell this kind of ancestral property
