Although Xu Jin did not agree with Fei Mao's views, he would not argue with them, and nodded: "What the people say is extremely true, but at the moment, the family has neither land nor source of income, so they have to find a way to earn some silver, and the business will be taken care of by Clumsy Jing in the future, which will have little impact on Zai's studies." ”

When the Fei brothers heard this, they no longer advised, the people take food as the sky, people have to eat after all, and they are not pedantic and sour Confucians.

Everyone ate and drank enough, chatted for a while, and saw that the sky was getting dark, so they got up and said goodbye, Xu Jin packed the remaining spiced haggis for everyone to take away, so as not to stay overnight.

When everyone went out, Xu Jin saw that Ding Dabao was still talking, so he smiled and asked, "Dabao, is there something wrong?" ”

Dabao scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Master Xu, there is something small that I don't know whether to talk about!" ”

Xu Jin was interested, nodded and said, "Let's hear it!" ”

"Okay, before the little one stood with Steward Zhou, came to Shangrao County to buy a house, and by the way, I also saw a few shops, among which a small one felt very suitable for the spiced haggis business!"

Fei Maoxian immediately frowned and reprimanded: "Dabao, when do you know how to do business, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Xu Jin waved his hand and said: "Don't blame the people, it's okay to listen to it, Dabao, you continue to speak!" ”

Dabao cleverly peeked at Da Shao, and saw that the latter did not continue to object, so he continued: "That store is on the street of the West Market, opposite is the carriage and horse shop, and the flow of people is very strong. The shopkeeper is an old man, I heard that his son made a lot of money in Jinjiang, Fujian, bought a house and land, and wanted to take the old couple over to support the elderly, so the old man planned to sell the store. ”

Xu Jin asked, "How big is the store, and what kind of business is it used for?" ”

"The storefront is about two feet long, it turns out that it mainly sells pasta, it seems that the business is okay, and the coachmen and transporters of the opposite car and horse shop will come to help!"

Xu Jin was greatly moved when he heard this, two zhang in length and width, that is, the size of thirty or forty square meters, the area is just right, and there is a fixed source of customers, it is indeed a good place, and he hurriedly asked: "What is the price of the boss?" ”

"The price is quite fair, but there is a house behind the store, and the old man wants to sell the house and the shop together, and the price is sixty taels of silver."

Xu Jin couldn't help frowning, sixty taels of silver was too expensive for him, and now his full net worth was only a little more than sixty taels.

"Steward Zhou said that place is really good, Xu Gongzi can consider it."

Xu Jin nodded and said, "How big is the house in the back?" ”

"There should be three points of land, in short, there is a hall, four rooms in the back, and a courtyard."

Xu Jin couldn't help but be taken aback, the houses in ancient times were calculated in acres, one mu is about 666 square meters, three points is equivalent to two hundred square meters, plus the front bunks are definitely more than two hundred square meters, if it is in the future, even if it is a second- or third-tier city, I am afraid that I can't take it without two or three million, sixty taels is really worth it!

As everyone knows, the houses of the ancient dynasties are not expensive, after all, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there is naturally no market for speculating tenants, like modern China, just a few decades after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the housing prices have been speculated to the point that the common people are daunted, which is really a very deformed and strange economy.

After sending Fei Mao and the others away, Xie Xiaowan couldn't help but ask after closing the courtyard door: "Xianggong, do you really plan to take down that store?" ”

Xu Jin nodded, he was indeed extremely excited, the big house of two hundred square meters, the key is still connected to the storefront, then Xiao Wanzhao looks convenient, there is no need to run at both ends of the house, after all, it is very unsafe for a girl to get up early and touch the dark outside, and she can usually help take care of it after school.

Xie Xiaowan ate and said: "Xianggong, but Dabao said that the store even costs sixty taels, and we don't even have the money to eat after the plate, and Xianggong will take the county test next year, so it's not okay if you don't have money!" ”

Xu Jin nodded and said, "I'll talk to the shopkeeper sometime to see if I can keep the price down." ”

If the house can be bought, it will naturally be quite cost-effective, and it will definitely be more cost-effective than renting a house now, and the rent alone will cost more than two taels a year, so it is better to buy it.

……

The Fei family's new house in Shangrao County is in the north of the city, and the gentry who live here are all well-known gentry in the county, and the administrative institutions such as the government and the county government are concentrated here, so the public security is naturally the best.

The Fei family's house is three acres, with three large courtyards in and three outs, and nearly 100 rooms of all sizes.

At this moment, in a wing room in the backyard, cigarettes are curling in the sandalwood burner. Fei Ruyi was wearing a plain embroidered skirt, a fifteen-year-old girl was slim, with a delicate body with gradually growing lines, a graceful body, her skin after the new bath was blown and broken, and her hair was scattered behind her back.

The girl was standing on the side of the desk grinding ink into the painting, watching the young lady write on the paper. Fei Ruyi's words are as delicate as herself, full of everyone's beautiful atmosphere, which is pleasing to the eye.

"The wind and rain send spring back, and the snow welcomes spring. It is already a cliff with a hundred feet of ice, and there are still flowers and branches. Pretty doesn't compete for spring, only reports spring. When the mountains were full of flowers, she laughed in the bushes. ”

What Fei Ruyi wrote at the moment was actually Xu Jin's "Fortune Operator Yongmei" made at the cold literary meeting today.

Fei Ruyi finished writing the last word, put down the brush, cleaned his hands in the basin next to him, stood in front of the desk and admired it silently for a while, and whispered to himself: "This poem and the style of "Bamboo and Stone" complement each other, it can be seen that Xu Gongzi must be a tenacious and ambitious person, and he will ...... day by day."

"Giggle......" There was a burst of laughter like silver bells outside the house, and two teenage girls walked in, it was Fei Ruyi's two cousins, Fei Jixiang and Fei Xiaoyu.

"The third sister is thinking about Xu Gongzi again, and she said that she is not interesting to others!" Fei Jixiang glanced at the words on the case, covered his mouth and smiled.

Fei Ruyi's face was slightly red, and she said angrily: "Fourth sister, I won't spare you if you talk nonsense!" ”

Fei Jixiang pouted and said, "Put all the words written by Xu Gongzi today on the desk, and deny it!" ”

"I have copied all the outstanding poems at today's cold meeting!" Fei Ruyi argued.

Fei Xiaoyu pinched his orchid fingers, and imitated in an exaggerated tone: "This poem complements the style of that song "Bamboo and Stone", it can be seen that Xu Gongzi must be a tenacious and ambitious person, and he will ...... in the wind and clouds every day."

"Giggles, fifth sister, you learn too much!" Fei Jixiang leaned forward and leaned back with a smile, and several maids in the room covered their mouths and snickered.

Fei Ruyi tore Fei Xiaoyu's mouth in shame!

"Oh, good sister, just spare me, I was wrong, I thought I wouldn't dare anymore!" Fei Xiaoyu was pinched a few times, and hurriedly admitted her mistake and begged for mercy, but Fei Ruyi let her go.

Fei Xiaoyu straightened her messy hair, pouted, and said, "It's really good to repay your kindness, and in vain they even sent some rare food to my sister!" ”

Fei Xiaoyu's personal maid Guanqi put the food box on the table and took out a small bowl of fragrant spiced haggis from it.

Fei Ruyi's delicate nose inhaled and asked, "What is so fragrant?" ”

Fei Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and said, "This is a snack that the eldest brother and second brother bought outside, bring it back and let us try it!" ”

"Thank you for me, eldest brother and second brother!" Fei Ruyi picked up a piece of radish and took a bite.

Fei Xiaoyu and Fei Jixiang glanced at each other unscrupulously, leaned over and asked, "How does it taste?" ”

"It's delicious!"

Fei Xiaoyu and Fei Jixiang giggled, Fei Ruyi was a little inexplicable: "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Third sister, I almost forgot to tell you, this is called five-spice haggis, which was brought back by the eldest brother and the second brother at Xu Gongzi's house, I heard that Xu Gongzi made it himself!"

"Ahem......!" Fei Ruyi almost choked, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and turned her face to the side and coughed, her pink face swollen and red.

Fei Xiaoyu and Fei Jixiang looked at each other and stuck out their tongues, but they didn't expect the third sister to react so much.

Fei Ruyi coughed for a while before stopping, glanced at the two cousins in annoyance, picked up the tea and rinsed his mouth, and said lightly: "This spiced haggis is delicious, but it's too greasy, I can't get used to it, enter the painting, you can eat it!" ”

Fei Xiaoyu couldn't help but roll her eyes!

……

After school the next afternoon, after returning from the academy, Xu Jin went to Xishi and found the noodle restaurant that Dabao said. After careful consideration last night, Xu Jin felt the need to take this store down. Of course, the premise is that the price can be lowered, otherwise if you buy a house, you don't even have the funds for working capital, and you still have a small business.

This noodle shop looks very old, but it is very clean, and there is a faded small banner hanging outside the door, which reads: Yu Ji Noodle Restaurant.

At this time, it was the evening market, and there were many people sitting at seven or eight small tables in the noodle restaurant, and the business was indeed good, and an old couple was busy cooking noodles in front of the cauldron.

"Does Xiao Langjun want to eat noodles?" The shopkeeper, Old Man Yu, saw that although Xu Jin was dressed plainly, he was literal and bookish, so he asked politely.

Xu Jin was not in a hurry to explain his intentions, and nodded with a smile: "Let's have a bowl!" ”

"Okay, sit down inside and wait, it'll be fine soon!"

Xu Jin entered the store and found a place to sit down, and sure enough, the noodles were served quickly, the portion was very large, and the broth was used below, plus some chopped green onions and a piece of fried egg, which tasted pretty good.

Xu Jin finished eating the noodles leisurely, until the old couple was free, then he went over to settle the bill, and took the opportunity to ask: "Uncle Yu, I heard that you are going to plate the noodles out of the shop!" ”

Old man Yu was stunned for a moment, looked Xu Jin up and down again, and said tentatively: "Xiao Langjun wants to take over?" ”

Although Xu Jin in front of him looked old, he was still too young after all, and he didn't look like the son of a rich family, so Boss Yu naturally didn't think he had the money to take over.

Xu Jin said calmly: "As long as the price is right!" ”

Old man Yu hurriedly wiped his hands with a cloth and said, "Then let's go inside and talk!" ”

The store has a back door leading directly to the house at the back, and Xu Jin followed Old Man Yu to the house.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a small courtyard, which is larger than the one Xu Jin lives in now, but there are no potted trees. However, Xu Jin's eyes were attracted by a string of red things hanging under the eaves, and he pointed excitedly: "Uncle Yu, what is it?" ”

Old man Yu was startled, thinking that he had a mountain spirit and water monster in his house, he turned his head to look at it, and suddenly said angrily: "That's called Pepper!" ”
