After leaving the Keji Restaurant, Ming Xixi slowly walked back. Suddenly, she retreated and her eyes stopped on the red paper with a closed door. The store was transferred? Hurry up and went forward to take a closer look. It turned out that it was the owner of the cotton business owner, but he went bankrupt due to poor management and was in a hurry to transfer it.
Ming Xixi looked around and looked at the street where he was located. The location was not very good, but the store selling cotton didn't need to be very straight. How to contact the owner? She knocked on the door, but no one responded. Just as she was about to ask someone, a middle-aged man who was diagonally opposite came over, with dark skin and a little short and fat. When approaching Ming Xixi, the short and fat man stared at him for a moment and was stunned for a moment before asking dull, "Does this young man want to open a store?"
Ming Xixi nodded, thinking that he would put on some makeup next time before he came out. The short and fat man looked puzzled: "Do you need to open a shop?"
"It's very necessary." Ming Xixi felt that this person was so strange about asking questions. Why did she come over if she didn't need to open a store?
"Young master, I think you are the child of a rich family. How can you open a store? Let's go, don't fool me, Old Man Zhao." The short and fat man said, waved his hand, turned around and left.
Ming Xixi hurriedly said, "Boss Zhao, you look down on others. I'll take your store."
Old Man Zhao stopped when he heard this, still looked suspicious: "I said, "Young Master, have you opened a store?"
"Don't worry if I've driven it or not, tell me, how can I transfer it?" Ming Xixi asked bluntly.
When the old man Zhao saw that the other party was not like a joke, he hurriedly opened the door of the store and asked to sit in. He pointed to the pile of cotton bags in the house and said, "I'm going to tell you that these are all good cotton. Last year, I bought too much cotton, which has led to nowhere to be sold now. I can't pay the rent and have to support my family. I can't continue to do it. I think about transferring it, and take my family back to my hometown to farm."
"How long have you been doing it?" Ming Xixi walked over, opened a bag and grabbed a handful of cotton. It was snow-white and very light and comfortable, without any impurities.
Old Man Zhao said: "I used to carry loads and sell groceries from alleys. I finally saved some money and went to the city to rent a store to do cotton business. I have been doing it for less than two years, alas!"
"Do you know how many shops sell cotton in this city?" Ming Xixi asked.
Old Man Zhao thought for a while and replied: "As far as I know, there are about a dozen families."
"They are all like you, selling only harvested cotton, or making cotton into quilts or something to sell?"
"I have been secretly traveling to several stores, some selling cotton like me, and some making quilts and mattresses to sell."
Ming Xixiqi said, "Then why don't you imitate them?"
Old Man Zhao said embarrassedly: "I think so, but I don't have the spare money."
Ming Xixi sat on the stool, looked at the pile of cotton and thought for a while, and said to Old Man Zhao: "I have a way. You don't have to bring your family back to farm, and you will continue to open business. And I guarantee that your life will be much better than before. But I want to be your immediate boss, that is, I am the owner of this store and you are the shopkeeper of this store. Are you willing?"
Old Man Zhao thought about it and said half-believingly, "Young Master, can you really bring the store back to life?"
"Of course, I don't want to brag about you, don't you?"
Ming Xixi looked confident, as if it had infected Old Man Zhao. He thought for a while, and he had not managed well and owed the landlord a month's rent. He paid for it for more than ten days, but he was so worried that he had to help him pay the rent for one month. If this young man was willing to pay the rent for him and could continue to be a shopkeeper, he would not have to go home to rent the rich man's land to farm, that would be the best.
"Okay, young master, I will be a living person. I believe you will be here once you go. This shop will be yours from now on." Old Man Zhao said happily.
"Well, I think you are quite honest. As long as you are honest with me, you can ensure that your family is rich and delicious." Ming Xixi said very proudly, and glanced at the store. It seemed to be a little smaller. It would be even better if it could be half wider.
"Then I will call you Uncle Zhao from now on. My surname is Ming. Just call me Master Ming." Ming Xixi introduced himself, and the old man Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, Master Ming can call me Old Man Zhao."
"Don't open a store these days, and help me see if there are any shops to be transferred nearby? If it is larger than yours, tell me immediately."
Old Man Zhao nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I will start wandering around tomorrow. Master Ming, then the rent for this month..."
"How much does the monthly rent?" Ming Xixi asked. Old Man Zhao said, "I always have money."
Ming Xixi took out five silver notes with the same denomination and gave them to Old Man Zhao, saying, "There are five silver notes here. You pay the rent for this month first. You can use the remaining four silver notes for household use."
Old Man Zhao was stunned now. He had lived for almost half his life and had never met such a kind-hearted boss.
Ming Xixi smiled and said, "You can take the two-stalls of silver bills to be considered as prepaying your salary in advance, and then deduct it from the monthly salary. The other two-stalls of silver bills are used as daily working deposit reserves, and you must keep them properly."
Only then did Old Man Zhao take the silver notes with trembling hands and thank you repeatedly. Ming Xixi wrote a double contract on the spot, stamped each with hand-printed seals, and then went to the yamen to notarize before returning to her Cangyu Hall.
Next, she had to plan how to deal with the cotton. According to her idea, there were too many people making quilts and mattresses, and the process required the site to squirts and mattresses. She could buy different fabrics and make them into various shapes of cushions, cushions, hats, and cotton coats, cotton pants, shoes, and cotton gloves. In this way, she had to hire a tailor. The store was too small, so she had to find another shop with a wide and deeper depth.
Hehe, now, she can use the string of chalcedony beads given by her elder brother to ask for help.
When Ming Xiuhao heard his subordinates come to report the situation, he couldn't help but laugh and cry. The little girl actually asked his subordinates for help, went to Meiting cloth shop to dig out tailors with excellent skills, and ordered a batch of fabrics of different colors and grades from his Xiuya Buzhuang.
Tan Jun laughed and said, "Miss Fifth is so idle and frustrated. She is looking for something to pass the time."
Ming Xiuhao said casually: "Xi'er may have to do a big fight."
But Mu Liang took Ning Gu and Shi Hui for three consecutive nights to search for those dark and deserted places. At first, the three of them were quite shocked, but they felt that it was not that scary after two nights. On the third night, they finally found a ghost mother and son. There was indeed a poisonous centipede guarding the long arm next to them. The three of them attacked together and finally wiped out the centipede, picked back the two ghost mother and son, and rushed back to Lan Lian City overnight.
Mu Liang remembered that Shui Wuqing once said that the bigger the poisonous centipede, the higher the medicinal value, and took back the centipede that was killed, put it in a clean bottle, and planned to hand it over to the fifth sister in the future. The palace maids were so scared that they lost their faces when they looked at it.
When Doctor Zou saw the ghost mother and son, he was extremely excited and asked the fifth prince where he came from. Mu Liang was inconvenient to inform the truth, so he said that he had heard about it in the market and bought it at a high price. Last night, someone sent the ghost mother and son and received the reward.
Doctor Zou quickly prepared the antidote and divided it into two parts. He first watched it for Empress Defei to take it, and then quickly left the palace and went to the Zuoxiang Mansion to treat Le Shaoqiu.
Because the old owner of Thunder Villa came forward in person and sincerely invited Cao Linzi, the master of Shengji Sect, to come. Emperor Zongzheng received timely treatment and resolved the poison that was addicted to the body. After Emperor Zongzheng woke up, he immediately begged Cao Linzi to rescue the Bai Neifeng poison of General Wan Dingsong, the great general of Zhennan. Cao Linzi then cured Wan Dingsong at the same time.
Emperor Zongzheng was very happy and wanted to give the reward to Caolinzi solemnly and promised to give help if necessary. Caolinzi smiled freely and said, "The emperor is in love with me. It is the responsibility of a doctor to save lives and help the wounded, so this reward is exempted. I have a request, but I wonder if the emperor can agree?"
This grass forest is famous all over the world and is rarely seen by ordinary people, but he sees his skin rosy and smooth, his hair is black, and his specific age is not visible. He is full of fairy bones, clear wind and charm, and his expression is auspicious and compassionate eyebrows and eyes, and he looks more like a monk and a monk.
Emperor Zongzheng said in surprise: "My doctor, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to the promise."
