We are all doing business around each other, so it is naturally good to have more connections.

A dozen cents worth of toothpaste and toothbrush are nothing to Shopkeeper Zhang. Besides, it can be seen that his shop has been open for many years. He probably has many new and old customers. If they get along well with each other, they can also bring him some customers. No matter how you look at it, he makes money.

Zhang Songbai didn't bother to be polite with him and accepted it with a smile. He took advantage of Jiang Shian when he bought those clothes, and he just said it casually if they were useful.

This guy is interesting, he doesn't look like an ordinary country boy, who knows what strange things he might study in the future. His shop is next door, maybe he can benefit from it.

"Okay, then I won't be polite. I'll give you a discount when you come to my shop to buy clothes next time."

Jiang Shian smiled and nodded, saying politely, "Okay, thank you in advance, boss."

As Zhang Songbai looked around, the shop owners of other shops around him also came over out of curiosity.

"Oh, you look familiar to me. It turns out to be you, young master. You bought rice oil from my shop before. Do you still remember me?"

Jiang Shian looked in the direction of the voice and nodded politely, "I remember, it's Shopkeeper Yu from Baifu. I love the millet in your shop. It's especially sweet."

Shopkeeper Yu just said it casually. He had never expected that the young man in front of him really had an impression of him. He was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Young master, you have a good memory. Come back to buy more after you finish eating! Of all the rice shops in this town, I say the rice is second to none. There is definitely no shop that ranks first."

The two of them were chatting quite lively, but the plump middle-aged shopkeeper standing nearby seemed a little unhappy.

Judging from his clothes and appearance, he must be a wealthy man in town. He has a round belly and a face full of fat. His eyes are almost narrowed into slits because of his fatness. He glances at Jiang Shian with ill intent.

He interrupted the two of them and said, "Hey, Shopkeeper Yu, the grain and oil in my shop are not worse than yours, why is yours ranked first?"

Jiang Shian looked in the direction of the voice and met the middle-aged man's lustful gaze.

He frowned and a hint of disgust flashed across his eyes.

He had been wearing this outfit for more than half a month and had seen many looks of surprise, envy, and jealousy, but the greasy fat man in front of him looking at him with naked desire still made him feel uncomfortable.

Shopkeeper Yu also subconsciously moved a few steps to the side. When he heard the voice, his brows furrowed, and there was obvious disgust in his eyes.

The person hanging by his side gestured to Jiang Shian.

This Li Shun is not a good guy, it’s better to avoid him for the time being.

The fat man stood in front of Jiang Shian with his hands on his hips and said, "My shop is right across from you, little brother. I also sell rice. If you like anything, just come to my shop and buy it. My shop is cheap!"

Li Shun's eyes widened. Oh my god, why didn't I know there was such a handsome guy in this town before? With those legs and waist, if I marry him, I will be in ecstasy.

He stared at Jiang Shian without any intention of shrinking his gaze.

Shopkeeper Yu couldn't stand it any longer, so he stepped in and said, "Young Master, you can buy whatever you like. It's only the first day of business, so we shouldn't waste time here. I see several customers have come into your shop, why don't you go back and take a look?"

Li Shun was a little unhappy when he was suddenly blocked, but when he heard that there was business, he retracted his gaze and turned back, and sure enough, a few people entered his shop.

Forget it. With the annoying Shopkeeper Yu around, he can’t do anything. As time goes by, this guy won’t be able to run away.

"Then I'll go back to work. My shop is right across the street. If you have nothing to do, come and sit down often. If others want to buy something, I'll just give it away for free."

He looked at Jiang Shian with narrowed eyes. He didn't seem angry when Jiang Shian ignored him. Beauties always have a little temper, but it will be fine after you get to know her better.

Besides, if a young man runs a shop, he should stay at home and serve his husband. The one who comes out to hang out is not just being immoral and deliberately seducing others.

After he left, Shopkeeper Yu shook his head and whispered to Jiang Shian, "This thing is not a good thing. Young Master, you better be careful and don't fall into his trap."

Jiang Shian suppressed the disgust on his face and nodded, "I know, thank you for reminding me, shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Yu waved his hand and went back to his shop.

I just saw a man in black in this shop. I hope he can protect this boy. Li Shun relies on his father who does business in the county town. He is no good.

The people gathered at the door left, and their faces had different expressions. Some were gloating, while others were regretful. People who were targeted by Li Shun usually didn't have a good ending. But he had a backer, and ordinary people like them couldn't afford to offend him.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that everyone at the door had left. Jiang Shian paused in placing the toothpaste, rubbed his wrist, and heard two cracking sounds from his knuckles.

He had done a lot of housework during this period, and he had accumulated a lot of strength. After all, he was a black belt in Taekwondo, and it was not learned in vain. After these days of training, he had at least recovered about 50% of his skills.

If that fat guy stares at him like that again next time, he will definitely put a sack on him and drag him into the alley to beat him up.

On the other side, Ji Yinghuai had no idea that the treasure he held dear was being coveted by others.

He was walking towards the restaurant, wanting to ask if the wild boar was still available.

It was just a coincidence that just after he parked the carriage and was carrying his things to the market, he met the butler who came out of the mansion to do some shopping. When the butler saw that he was carrying fresh game, he asked the price and paid the money promptly.

He sold the pheasants and hares for a total of four taels of silver, and had a little wild boar left, so he went to the restaurant to ask about it.

In the past, four taels of silver would not be enough for him to buy a glass of wine, but now, holding a few pieces of silver, he felt particularly satisfied.

The boy would definitely be happy to hand it over to Jiang Shian later. Thinking of the other party's bright and smiling eyes looking at him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The wild boar in his hand nudged him in dissatisfaction. Ji Yinghuai instantly suppressed the tenderness that had emerged on his face, and he slapped the wild boar's head without any hesitation.

The wild boar growled twice and then dared not move any more.

The restaurants had just opened at this time, and Ji Yinghuai asked each one, but the first two refused to accept his food, saying that the food smelled too much like mutton.

The price offered by the third restaurant was too low, only two taels of silver for such a wild boar. Ji Yinghuai carried the wild boar to another restaurant.

Finally, the last restaurant offered a pretty good price. The owner said that they recently hired a new chef who likes to cook these game dishes. Game dishes in their restaurant are also the best-selling ones, and they are short of ingredients at the moment!

The shopkeeper finally gave him four taels of silver and told him to send game to them if he could hunt it in the future. The restaurant would accept it and the price was negotiable.

Ji Yinghuai responded casually. As they were all businessmen, he knew the principle of comparing prices from three different stores. If he could get a few more coins, the young man would be happy.

Thinking of the two ingots of gold that he had asked the secret guard to leave behind yesterday, he frowned in distress.

I worry even if I don’t have anything, and I would still worry even if I had something.
