Son Mo

Two days later, Shen Jun picked an auspicious time according to the calendar.Then, together with Xiao Yuanzi and Xiao Anzi, they pinched the sun to calculate the exact time and lit a firecracker in front of the shop. With the sound of "cracking" firecrackers, the grain and oil shop is officially open for business.

The business of the small shop is not very prosperous, but because the rice, flour, oil and vinegar sold are necessities of life, even the poorest people can't lack it in their homes, so they have to come here every few days to buy something to go back.Moreover, there is only one grain and oil shop in Zhengguan Street, and there is no competition.The shop has been taken over in full, and there is no pressure to pay rent on schedule every month.

Therefore, although the daily business income is not too much, it is more than enough to meet the food and clothing expenses of the three masters and servants.The quality of life seems to be getting better day by day.

On this day, the three master and servant arrived at Zhengguan Street early in the morning as usual.Not long after opening the store, and the first order of business hadn't been settled yet, a beggar in ragged clothes came to the door to beg on a walking stick.

"Go, go! Didn't you see that our store just opened, do you understand the rules?"

Xiao Anzi, who was standing at the front desk looking at the store, immediately shook his hands and slammed people with disgust.

Merchants value profits, and they are most taboo against beggars, monks, and nuns who come to beg for alms, and avoid them for fear that they will be too unlucky.This is especially the case when the first business has not been completed.It is said that it is because there is a very evil saying among businessmen: if a shop pays out money before it starts to receive income that day, then you can see that this shop will not be able to make a few transactions in a whole day .

Regardless of whether this statement is true or not, Xiao Anzi would not dare to violate such a cruel industry taboo even if he was killed.I saw him stalking his neck and staring, with an expression of wanting money and not giving it, and he just kept yelling at the beggar.But that beggar was also a stubborn guy, he kept nodding and bowing, but he also refused to leave in front of the door.

Shen Jun, who heard the movement, just raised his head and glanced slightly, then continued to lower his head to settle accounts, and didn't take it seriously.It wasn't until Xiao Yuanzi suddenly approached him and whispered something in his ear that Shen Jun raised his head again and took a closer look at the beggar.

As if aware of the gaze from behind the counter, the beggar suddenly also looked at Shen Jun and Yuan Zi.The four eyes met, and the beggar was stunned on the spot.I saw that the beggar's face changed again and again, obviously he still remembered Shen Jun's appearance.In less than two seconds, he quickly turned around with his head down and left.

Shen Jun looked at the back of the beggar leaving, tilted his head and smiled at Xiao Yuanzi: "I count to three, that guy will definitely have to go back to our store, one... two... three!"

Just counting to "three", the lame beggar really turned around and limped towards the small shop with a cane and turned back.Shen Jun raised his eyebrows proudly, with an expression of 'I'm very good'.Xiao Yuanzi also squinted his eyes and gave his master two thumbs up.

Xiao Anzi who was standing at the front desk was depressed, and the young man put his hands on his hips: "Hey! What's the matter with you bastard? If you keep messing around like this, I'm going to sue the officials! I'm not afraid to tell you, my young master and the county magistrate are the same. But you can't afford to provoke a friend who forgets the year!"

"All right, all right, don't yell so early in the morning." Shen Jun patted Xiao Anzi on the shoulder, signaling the latter to be calm, and then smiled at the beggar, "What does this little brother want?"

I don't know if it's because of shame, or fear of being recognized, but the beggar lowered his head as much as possible, and clasped his fists with both hands: "My sister hasn't eaten any grains for two days, and I beg this boss to show kindness and give me some rice noodles." .Good people get rewarded, and good people get rewarded..."

"Yuanzi, pack half a catty of rice for this little brother." Shen Jun ordered very straightforwardly.Then, he stepped forward with his left palm outstretched, and said with a smile, "Thank you, ten coins in total."

The beggar was overjoyed at first, but before he could be happy for two seconds, the smile he just showed froze in an instant, and his whole face was visibly stiff.He looked at Shen Jun's white palm stretched out, and then at the half a catty of rice handed over by the boy. Relax.

"The little one didn't come here to buy things from the boss." The beggar begged again, "The little one just wanted to ask the boss for some rice noodles, and he didn't dare to ask for too much. One tael or half a tael was enough, and he just wanted to be able to cook a bowl of soup. Porridge."

With a sincere look on Shen Jun's face, he grabbed a handful of rice and spread it evenly in his palm, "It's really not expensive to sell half a catty of rice for ten copper coins. If you don't believe me, you can go to another grain and rice shop. Like this For the color, shape, and fragrance, other stores have to sell it for at least 25 or six Wen a catty, and the price of ten Wen and a half catty is already the cost price."

"But, but I really have no money, and I can't even get a penny..."

Shen Jun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and imitated Xiao Anzi's earlier look and gave the crippled beggar a disgusted look.

"No money? If you don't have money, it will be difficult to manage. Anyway, my shop is also a small business. After a day of hard work, I can't make half a tael of silver. If I don't make money from you, it's fine. I can't make me lose money. Send it?"

The lame beggar was not stupid, and finally realized that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him, and looked at Shen Jun with a bit of hatred.However, as the saying goes, a penny can stump a hero, let alone such a beggar who is begging for his sister.

The beggar pursed his lips, "My lord, you have a lot of adults. Earlier in Shenyuan, you were a little one who had no eyesight but didn't know Taishan, and rudely offended you. Today, the little one sincerely apologizes to you, and I beg you not to be such a waste like me." Ordinary beggars vent their anger."

The beggar lowered his posture into the dust, bent his body and bent his back almost ninety degrees, put away the viciousness he had at the beginning, and begged: "My sister hasn't eaten rice grains these two days, and her bones are weak." I was weak in the first place, and I got sick a few days ago, and I haven’t recovered well until now. If I don’t have a few taels of rice to eat, I’m afraid I won’t be able to bear it. I also ask the young master to donate some rice noodles regardless of the past. The ox repays the great kindness for the horse!"

Having said all of this, Shen Jun is not such an unreasonable and unforgiving character.Then he nodded to Xiao Yuanzi.The latter immediately handed over half a catty of packed rice.

"It's not that I have to feel sorry for you, it's just that you had a bad attitude that day in Shen Yuan, which made people very unhappy." Shen Jun felt very relieved, and he still didn't forget to taunt the other party.

The beggar kept nodding and bowing, "Yes, yes, yes! I know my mistake! I know my mistake!"

"Okay, okay, my young master's fire is gone, and I will give you the rice for free. There is no second time for such a good thing!" After finishing speaking, he handed the rice bag forward, and Shen Jun shook his hand, " Don't stand in front of the shop to block the money, my shop is still doing business, let's go!"

The beggar quickly took the rice bag with both hands, eyes full of gratitude.After nodding and bowing to Shen Jun to express his gratitude, he limped away on crutches.

When opening a shop and doing business, there will always be times when beggars come to the door. It is not surprising. It was originally just a common episode, but I didn't expect that there would be a follow-up to this incident.

Five days later, an unknown person put a bundle of dry firewood in front of the shop.Since then, unless it is rainy, there will always be a bundle of dry wood piled at the door of the shop early in the morning every day.Obviously, this is the lame beggar repaying Shen Jun in the best way he can.After another five days passed, there was another piece of gossip in Changyang City.The two branches of Yicai Bookstore have started a big promotion, and "Juhai Xunyanlu" will be officially published and sold!

On the day of the sale, Shen Jun also specially ordered Xiao Anzi to go to the scene to join in the fun, just to know how the pornographic book sold.As a result, "Ju Hai" was a hit!In less than half an hour, the [-] completed books were sold out by the swarming customers!

Xiao Anzi, who got the first-hand information, hurried back to Zhengguan Street, and immediately reported to his master the hot sales scene of "Juhai" with joy.The excitement in Xiao Anzi's words and expression was comparable to that when he saw 50 taels of gold, he almost rolled his eyes and passed out.

However, when the three masters and servants were discussing happily, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl suddenly appeared from somewhere, and ran to the grain and oil store in a panic.

Shen Jun, who was the first to react, rushed forward and greeted with a smile: "What does this little girl want to buy?"

The little girl didn't answer when she heard the words, she lowered her head and didn't look at anyone, but her eyes couldn't stop crying.Seeing this, the two young servants hurried over to greet them, and the three of them looked at me and I looked at you, all of them looked dazed.

Xiao Anzi quietly tugged on Shen Jun's sleeve, "Eldest young master, could it be that you incurred some romantic debt outside?"

"Water!" Shen Jun turned his head and stared at Xiao Anzi, with a heartbroken expression, "Could it be that I'm such a nasty person in your eyes?"

Xiao Anzi tilted his neck and thought about it carefully, finally nodded and said: "It's hard to say!"

The tall and glorious image that he boasted of was instantly shattered into scum, and Shen Jun's face was almost green. He stretched out his hand and pushed Xiao Anzi aside, turned around and looked at the little girl with a smile, "Did the little girl meet you?" What's the problem?"

The other party really nodded.Shen Jun immediately understood, and hurriedly wrapped half a catty of flour and handed it over.

I never thought that the little girl didn't answer, but looked up at Shen Jun with tears in her eyes, and said pitifully: "My brother, my brother... Please save my brother's life..."

Shen Jun, Xiao Yuanzi, and Xiao Anzi were all taken aback at the same time.Shen Jun asked tentatively, "Does it make it difficult for your brother to walk with one leg?"

This matter really can't be blamed on Shen Jun's slow reaction.The little girl in front of me was wearing a cotton padded jacket, her hair was braided, and she was clean. She looked like a child from an ordinary family. No one could connect her with a dirty, lame beggar.

Hearing this, the little girl nodded emphatically, tears streaming down her face, crying even worse.At that moment, Shen Jun didn't dare to delay any longer, he hurriedly told the two servants to close the shop, and then the group of four hurried to the direction of Shen Yuan.
