After sending Zhang home, Zhen Mingku took Yang Tong in the direction of the north of the city and got out of the car at the door of a large store that was being renovated.

As soon as they entered the store, a group of carpenters came over and greeted Zhen Mingku, they were all those fellow villagers of Feilong, Zhen Mingku gave them a salary of two taels a month and asked them to help with the decoration, for them, such wages are several times stronger than working as coolies at any big wharf, and the work is much easier.

"Whose shop is this?"

Yang Tong followed Zhen Mingku into the dusty and messy store, the air in the store was mixed with the smell of dust and sawdust, Yang Tong covered his nose and frowned and asked.

"Your sister Zhang's."

Yang Tong's eyes lit up, he changed his disgust, put down the hand covering his nose, and looked around with interest.

This is a three-story wooden building of about 200 square meters, and more than a dozen helpers are busy in the store, planers, carpenters, carvers, and jingle to make all kinds of wood into display shelves and store decorations.

"The location of this shop is very good, it should cost a lot of silver, where did Sister Zhang get so much money?"

"Who said they were going to buy it? Your sister Zhang only rented the first floor for a one-year lease period, and she can open it after the renovation is completed. ”

"Sell what?"

"Dim Sum snacks."

"Is it the Portuguese egg tart you gave me last time?"

Zhen Mingbitter said: "That's just one of the desserts, what are the french fries, fried chicken wings, grilled chicken wings, medicinal steamed products, fried tofu, fragrant soybean milk, milk tea and the like, with your sister Zhang's tofu Shih Tzu's signboard, I dare to guarantee that within a month, this store will be famous throughout Luoyang, and when the time comes, it will not be difficult to open more than a dozen branches, rush out of Luoyang, and go to the whole country, how about it, are you interested in becoming a shareholder?" ”

Yang Tong asked: "What shares?" ”

"It's to invest in, make money and give you dividends, a thousand taels of silver, and it is conservatively estimated that you will be able to return to your capital after two years, and then you will be able to get the corresponding dividends every year, which will be richer and richer year by year."

"I'm not interested in buying shares or anything, let me ask you, Sister Zhang's house was demolished, where does she live?" Yang Tong was obviously not interested in making money or anything, he only cared about where he should find his sister Zhang in the future.

Zhen Ming said bitterly: "Live in my house, what's wrong?" ”

Yang Tong stared at him with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Why does she want to live in your house?" ”

"Who knows if her father-in-law mortgaged her house to someone, she has nowhere to go, should she let her sleep on the street?"

Yang Tong was stunned when he heard this, and Zhen Mingku hugged his shoulders very enthusiastically: "Seeing that you really want to think about your sister Zhang, I have a way to let her no longer have to live in my house." ”

Yang Tong looked suspicious when he heard this: "Let's hear it." ”

……

When Zhen Mingku got home, he pulled Zhang into a room.

Watching Zhen Ming close the door mysteriously, Zhang was obviously a little nervous.

Xing'er and Huan'er both went out, and Sun Langzhong also went to the yamen to go through the procedures for opening a store, only she and Zhen Mingku were at home.

She didn't know what Zhen Mingku was going to do, and based on his past rogue behavior, she was a little afraid to be alone with him now.

Zhen Mingkuu turned around and walked to her, she took a few steps back, Zhen Mingkuu forced her into a corner, only then stopped, took out a yellowed and old leather from his arms, and stuffed it into her hand.

She glanced down, and what Zhen Ming had stuffed into her hand was a house deed printed with the official seal, and the house marked on the deed was the one she was borrowing now, although it was not a big house, but it was worth a hundred taels of silver.

Zhen Mingku put his face in front of her and forced his eyes to look at her.

When she looked up, her lips almost touched his, he must have done it on purpose, his face was only a few centimeters away from hers.

She put her hands on his chest to prevent him from making further contact, and stared up at him with a hint of distress in her eyes, since the scoundrel had secretly kissed her in the room of the Igawa Inn that day, he had often secretly taken advantage of her in this way, and did it surprisingly naturally, so that she didn't even have a chance to refuse.

Zhen Mingku didn't take any further action, but just asked: "There is a saying in our hometown, I don't know if you have heard of it?" ”

Zhang raised his head and looked at him.

"If there are more lice, it will not itch, and if there are more debts, there will be no worries."

She laughed, as charming as a snow lotus blooming.

Zhen Ming also smiled: "Anyway, you already owe me so much, and you don't care about owing more, with the deed of this house, this house will be yours from now on, and you don't have to feel that you are under the fence, this is your home, you are the landlord, I am the tenant, when you want me to roll up the cover and leave, I will roll up the cover and leave." ”

Zhang smiled and asked curiously, "Where did you get so much silver?" Didn't you use your money to rent a shop to buy materials and ask workers to decorate it? ”

Zhen Mingkuo smiled mysteriously, whispered a few words in her ear, and took advantage of Zhang's stunned moment, and gently kissed her on the lips, and when Zhang's reacted, the others had already gone out of the room, leaving her alone in a daze, her face burning like fire.

All she could think about now was how to get this scoundrel out of the house.

……

A few hundred meters away from Luoyang's most prosperous Hongxing Courtyard, a shop with a different decoration style and incompatibility with the surroundings has been grandly opened.

There was a group of ordinary people around the door who watched the excitement and did not know the truth, pointing at the store, discussing a lot, and bursting into laughter from time to time.

The windows and signs of the shop are covered with a piece of red silk, so you can't see what is sold inside the shop, and you don't know the name of the shop.

There was a big fluffy bear standing in front of the store, dancing and performing strange movements, handing out leaflets to the people around him, and many children clapped and laughed.

The big bear also stepped forward and hugged and frolicked with the children.

Beside the big bear, there is a cute, listless little white rabbit, the big bear saw that it was motionless, pounced on it and danced its claws, the little white rabbit seemed to be reluctant, and jumped up for a while.

Two quirky and interesting animals attracted more and more people to gather around the front of the store.

An old man squeezed through the crowd, curiously glanced at the two funny furry animals at the door of the store, turned his head and asked the people around him, "Is there a new store?" What exactly does this shop sell? It's the first time I've seen such an interesting opening ceremony. ”

The people next to him smiled and said, "I guess they sell high-quality leather and wool or something, and their clothes are made of bear and rabbit skins." ”

The old man said with envy: "The rent of the shop in this area is not cheap, if you don't sell some jewelry, antiques and the like will be too wasteful, if I have such a shop in this area, selling my daughter-in-law's soybean milk, I will definitely make a lot of money." ”
