Allure of a Country Maiden

Chapter 92 One hundred thousand taels and one hundred taels

Xiaoer returned to the room, entered the space, picked a leaf, mashed it, and applied some on the wound. The wound healed immediately, but with so many people seeing it, you can't let people know that it healed in an instant, right? I took some gauze and wrapped it around my neck, and then changed into a high-collared dress. I didn't dare to use the rest on Mrs. Liu. I just poured a drop of juice into the crushed ice, then wrapped it up and took it. Go out to Mrs. Liu.

The family just walked into the house, and Xiaoer handed Liu an ice pack, "Mom, apply it. I added some liquid to the ice."

"I'll do it!" Shen Chengyao took the ice pack and applied it to Liu's face. Looking at Liu's swollen face, he felt heartbroken and guilty.

Mrs. Liu took it herself. She couldn't wipe it off her face in front of her children. After applying it for a while, she felt that her face no longer hurt.

"Xiao'er, are your wounds okay?"

"It's okay. I took the medicine and it doesn't hurt now."

"Mom doesn't feel the pain anymore. Your master's medicine is really amazing. Your grandma is really good at it. What if she catches her face and disfigures her face!" Could it be that her granddaughter can't get married in the future? Get a good one!

After the incident was over, Xiaoer didn't want to mention it anymore. She just wanted to be angry again and asked, "Dad, how is your fourth uncle's blacksmithing skills?"

"Your fourth uncle is willing to work hard when he learns things. Many people say that the things he produces are good."

"Dad, do you remember the shop where I bought used goods last time?"

"Remember, what's wrong, do you want to buy something again?"

"No, that shop has closed down and is for sale. I want to buy it and open an iron shop. Last time I asked Brother Shangguan to help with the iron shop, and he has already done it." Yesterday, Shen Chengyao and Mr. Liu just came back from prison because , I had a lot of things to do at home, so I didn’t bother about New Year’s gifts, so I didn’t know about Tie Yin.

"What, has Tie Yin been done?" Shen Chengyao was shocked. Salt, tea, and iron were all strictly controlled by the court, and the profits were huge, especially salt. People couldn't live without salt. Soldiers didn't even have the strength to fight without salt. This was a common thing for him. It’s something Yum knows, and iron is related to weapons and farming, so it’s quite important.

What is the origin of Mr. Shangguan? Tie Yin was able to do it with just one word from his daughter.

"Master Shangguan treats us so well." Mrs. Liu sighed.

"Yes, he also gave me and my eldest brother, Brother Wen, a letter of recommendation for Juxian Academy." Brother Shangguan is simply the best person in the world.

"Oh, that's true. Mr. Shangguan is really a noble member of my family. His kindness to my family is really great." Juxian Academy is famous throughout the country. There are countless people who have graduated from Juxian Academy. Many students from all over the world come here because of its reputation, but The threshold for Juxian Academy is very high. Students from official families also need someone to post a message to vouch for passing the exam before they can enter. Students from common people also need someone to recommend and pass the exam before they can enter. It can be said that the students there are all academically outstanding.

Shen Zixuan got into the exam based on his own ability, and Shen Jingwen also took the exam every year, but failed every year.

"You three have to study hard during this period. I heard that the entrance examination for Juxian Academy is very strict." All three of them nodded in agreement.

"Dad, I want to open an iron shop and cooperate with Fourth Uncle. How about we split it 50-50? I will think of some novel things to make for Fourth Uncle." She had given the cement formula to Shangguan Xuanyi before, but I don’t know if it can be made. If it can be made, then steel bars will be a necessary item. When the time comes, building houses, building bridges, and paving roads will all be indispensable. And she also wants to build bicycles and threshing machines, which are all related to iron, so it is necessary to have her own iron shop.

"Of course that's good. Your fourth uncle has helped our family a lot. He has worked in that shop for so many years. His salary should have been increased long ago, but it didn't happen. However, the contract just expired this year. Your fourth uncle is now I wonder if I can still work in that shop. The shopkeeper only said that the salary would be increased by one hundred cents."

"That's not good. Your fourth uncle and aunt will be very happy if they know about it." Mrs. Liu was also happy in her heart.

"Let's call Uncle Four to look at that shop and see if it's suitable."

"It just so happens that your fourth uncle is at home today. Let's go take a look now. I'll call your fourth uncle."

"Then my mother and I will prepare the New Year's gift for Uncle Yao at home. We will set off directly when dad comes back later."

an hour later

The group first went to send New Year's gifts, and then came to Shunyi Yaxing. Yang Yaqi immediately greeted them, "Brother Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you recently moved to a new house. Congratulations."

In the past, when Shen Chengyao came to town to look for part-time workers, he would go to this dental shop to ask. The two of them became familiar with each other after going back and forth. Yang Yashi also liked to introduce part-time workers to Shen Chengyao. Every time he finished a job, his boss would praise him, most of them saying, "This is He is honest, hard-working, has an eye for work, takes the initiative, goes to work without being pushed, and is willing to put in a lot of effort.”

Shen Chengyao exchanged greetings with him and explained his intention.

"That junk shop on Guangning Street?" Yang Yaqi frowned after hearing this.

"Yes, that's the one. What happened? Is it sold?"

"No, that shop is in a good location, and many people came to ask about it. However, the seller asked to meet the buyer in person before making an offer. Then I took people there, and he offered a price of 100,000 taels. Others thought he was crazy. Even if the shop is no longer Well, it’s not even worth a hundred thousand taels. The whole town can buy it for a hundred thousand taels.”

When Shen Chengyao heard this, he thought that man was crazy. Who has so much money to buy it? One hundred thousand taels! Why would someone with so much money buy that shop?

"Doesn't he want to sell?" Xiaoer felt that the asking price was just because he didn't want to sell.

"No, he said he is waiting for the destined person. I'd better take you to see the shop. That person still lives in the backyard of the shop. Maybe you are the destined person he is waiting for. If not, it doesn't matter. There are several shops there, and I will take you to check them out when the time comes."

"Okay, thank you, shopkeeper Yang."

Yaxing is not far from the second-hand shop, and a few people walked there for a while. After knocking on the door, a lazy voice that sounded sleep-deprived came from inside, "Who is it?"

"I, Yang Yaqi, brought people to see the shop."

Then the door opened with a creak, and when the owner of the junk shop saw Xiaoer and his group, a light flashed in his eyes so fast that no one caught it.

"This shop is in a good location and big enough. It has a backyard with two entrances. There are five main rooms, five east and west wing rooms, and a back room with stables and a garden. There is also a garden behind the back room. There are about two acres of open space.”

Yang Yaqi introduced them as he walked.

Xiaoer knew that this shop was big. In the past, this boss would sell everything in piles, and there were a lot of old boards, old wardrobes, old stools, and old tables inside. How could it not be big? Remembering the first time I came here, I felt confused! chaos! I didn’t dare to clean up everything now. Looking at it all the way, Xiaoer said, satisfied, very satisfied!

Shen Chengyao also likes it, but it is too expensive and cannot afford it.

"Girl, what do you think of this shop?" The second-hand shop owner looked at Xiao'er, but he was worried about whether what the master said was right, but this was his last hope.

"Very good, boss, how can I sell this shop?" Since he took the initiative to ask, he meant he wanted to sell it.

"One hundred taels."

Yang Yaqi was shocked when he heard that one hundred thousand taels turned into one hundred taels. This gap was too big!

Xiaoer is waiting for the next step. Although this shop is not as good as the one in the town, it is big enough, especially the backyard. No matter what, it would take six to seven hundred taels to win. And the one hundred taels he sold to himself must be conditional.

"But I have a condition, girl, I need you to help me cure someone."

"But I'm not a doctor, I don't know how to treat diseases." Xiaoer refused, as she easily refused to give things in the space to others. Although she could not sense any malice from a person she had never met before, he did not look at the person with his true face, and even his voice was deliberately changed. She would not take risks just to take advantage of him.

"I know, but you can definitely cure it!"

"If you don't know how to cure the disease, how can you possibly cure it?" Xiaoer deliberately looked at him like he was an idiot.

"My wife's name is Anyi." Then the junk shop owner squeezed his voice into a line and only reached Xiaoer's ears, "Master Yunfa said that she and the girl are old acquaintances!"

After hearing this, even though Xiaoer was calm, her expression changed drastically, "Where is she? Take me to see her!"
