Fisherman

Since the opening of the spring, the naked eye can see that the population flow in the market has increased. The food and drink in the market rely on daily fresh food, and the entertainment depends on the gambling house. Many people come here for fame. The number has increased, and on several bustling streets, the shops that were originally vacant have been rented out and opened.

Zhao Qian originally wanted to develop the market into a big town, and now the momentum is developing in a good direction. He wants the Zhao family's position in the market to be more stable and unshakable, and the business of the gambling house and Ri Ri Xian is stable. These days, I have been busy with new things.

Zhong Jiu came over from the casino: "Boss Zhao, I have already done what you asked me to do."

As he said that, he took out a stack of land deeds from his pocket: "Look, everyone who is willing to sell is here."

Zhao Qian's eyes were bright, and she quickly took it and counted it in front of Zhong Jiu: "Ten? Only ten are you willing to sell?"

These land deeds are all for shops in Yongning Lane. There are more than 30 shops in this street. In the past, this street was mainly a place where people in the market lived, and they were all low-level people. There were very few shops that were open, and the business was not good. , and closed a few more, the street is far away from the main street, and few people would go shopping in it, so now even though the traffic is heavy, the alley is still very quiet, but two new shops have opened at this time, or because the barbecue shop is in the In the street, some guests were brought in.

Other merchants look down on this piece of land, but he does. Before the merchants in the market, he knows that there are two major merchants in the county who will come to the market to open shops, and when the time comes, they will be drawn to this alley Come here, there are daily fresh food at the entrance of the alley, I am afraid that this street will not be able to get up!

It's just that he doesn't understand now that this street is still so depressed. Excluding the shops that have been opened and the shops that have been bought, there are still [-] shops that have not been bought. Could it be that someone has already set their sights on this place?

"Did you ask the rest why they didn't sell?"

Zhong Jiu smiled bitterly and said, "I thought you wanted it urgently. I bought it from the boss. Because I want to move my family into the county town, I sold everything I had on hand. The price is quite reasonable."

"That's a good thing." Holding the title deed, he asked again: "What about the rest?"

"The rest of the shops are scattered in the hands of many people, and it is estimated that you have to ask one by one."

Zhao Qiandang immediately said: "Then ask, the price can be higher, try to buy as much as possible."

Zhong Jiu is not unfamiliar with the street of Yongning Lane. He originally thought that Zhao Qian wanted to expand the barbecue restaurant, but he didn't dare to take it because the boss wanted to sell ten restaurants at a time. After all, the shops on this street are not good. Selling, he still has some doubts about the situation, but because the boss is a frequent visitor to the gambling house, he kept pulling him and said that the price was also willing to compromise. He thought that since Zhao Qian didn't say how much he wanted, he would be bold. Next.

He thought that if Zhao Qian didn't want so much at that time, at worst he would keep some for himself, earn a lot of money in the gambling shop, and buy two or three cheap shops in Yongning Lane. Qian actually disliked less.

"Boss Zhao, why are you buying so many shops in the alley? It's not like you don't know the business here."

Zhao Qian said casually: "Renovate and open a tea house." Open two mahjong parlors, rent out the rest, and wait for the rent to be collected.

The one behind didn't say anything, because mahjong hasn't been made yet, so it's useless to say it, and the one in front of him should take down the shop first.

Zhong Jiu didn't seem to believe what he said, he didn't really understand businessmen's affairs, as long as he guarded the gambling shop, it would be fine: "Sure, then I'll ask my brothers to inquire about the owners of these shops, and then we can negotiate to buy them." s price."

"Okay, I'll leave this to you." After a pause, he continued, "But as soon as possible."

Things will change later, now there are more and more merchants coming to the market to open shops, I am afraid that some people will be eyeing Yongning Lane by then, it is a trivial matter to raise the price of the shop, and worry that some people are not willing to sell at all.

After explaining the good things, he stayed in the barbecue shop and instructed Wang Tian to roast the barbecue for a while. The young man worked very hard every day, and the taste of the baked things was already as good as his skill. When he was busy, it was all thanks to Wang Tian Tian took care of the business in the shop. When he first joined the battle, many customers were still dissatisfied, saying that the taste was quite bad, but as time went on, after knowing that Wang Tian was his apprentice, there were fewer people who complained.

Craftsmanship depends on inheritance, everyone understands this truth, there must be a process, but the business is more or less affected, he doesn't care much, after all, the money earned by barbecue shops is far less than other industries, but After all, he started his business by barbecue, so he was so emotional that he handed over the shop to Wang Tian to keep the shop open.

A while ago, seeing that the business was not as good as before, he knew that Wang Tian was under a lot of pressure, but he didn't try to comfort him. After all, there is motivation when there is pressure. Seeing that the child worked harder than before, he felt more at ease to hand over the shop to him.

After giving advice for a while, he left Wang Tian in the shop and went back to the house by himself. After having a baby, he seemed to want to run home even more.

Back at the house, Brother Zhou was holding the cub in the garden. The cub had been born for more than half a month in a blink of an eye, and now he looks a little better, with his appearance between his brows. Originally, he had a fierce face, but the cub The boy's eyebrows look like him, and he would be very fierce, but fortunately, most of them still inherit Zhou Ge'er's appearance.

Shaoyu looks very sunny, but because of his temperament, he often has a cold face, which makes him look a little withdrawn and cold, but the little boy loves to move and make trouble, with most of his father's appearance, he looks very cute.

Hearing the little brat yelling when the boy came back, his voice was soft, he temporarily put aside the aggrieved anger of grabbing his wife, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and walked over with heavy steps.

"The master is back." The nanny on the side called out respectfully, he waved his hand, and he went down consciously.

"Come and hug Daddy, see if you miss Daddy." He stretched out his hands to hug the cub, but the nanny who hadn't gone far couldn't help but glance back, the Zhao family was tall and burly, and spoke fiercely. There are times when the master speaks so softly!

Brother Zhou carefully handed over the child. Zhao Qian hugged the little thing in his arms and couldn't help shaking. Brother Zhou sat on a chair and peeled a grape: "Brother Zhao."

Zhao Qian opened his mouth and ate the grapes peeled by his wife, sat on the chair contentedly, looked at the little boy with dark eyes looking at him, and moved his cheeks: "Daddy peeled these."

Zhao Muyu blinked her eyes twice, she was babbling happily just now, staring at the face in front of her, suddenly she started to cry with a twist of her mouth.

Zhao Qian looked confused and was at a loss for what to do: "What, what's wrong, this is it?"

Brother Zhou also quickly put down the grapes in his hand, went over to wrap the baby in swaddling clothes, and frowned: "Didn't it be fine just now?"

"Are you hungry?"

"Nurse has just been fed."

Zhao Qian raised her eyebrows: "Could it be that I frightened him?"

Brother Zhou raised his head and glanced at him, his face was a bit embarrassed: "It's really a bit fierce."

"Don't cry, don't cry, as long as Daddy doesn't look at you." He got up and held the child and shook it gently. After a while, the little thing stopped crying.

He was overjoyed and smiled like a stupefied young man: "Look, don't cry anymore."

When he sat back down again, the cub started to fuss again, but stopped crying when he got up.Zhao Qian understood the essence of it: "This little brat is about to be hugged and shaken, and no one is allowed to sit."

Brother Zhou wanted to laugh but felt that he shouldn't, his face was a little red: "Let me hug you."

"It's okay, I'll hug you, the baby is too clingy to you, it's not good." In the past few nights, he could occasionally hear the little boy crying in the middle of the night, and every time he went to see it, it was Brother Zhou who hugged him in the room. Wandering around and coaxing him to sleep, although Shaoyu took the child at home when he had nothing to do, but he was woken up just in the middle of the night, the smell would be uncomfortable to anyone, the child would have to be alone at night, and the nanny would cry when coaxing her Nao, it's too hard to go on like this.

He has to cultivate the relationship between him and the child, and he can take care of the child himself, then he can lure Brother Zhou back to sleep in the main house.

"Mu Yu will soon be full moon, when the time comes, do you want to have full moon wine at home or in a restaurant?" He shook the child and asked the boy beside him.

Brother Zhou hesitated for a moment. Unknowingly, the child was about to be full moon. Recently, he had some days and nights turned upside down, so he didn't think about these things. The village was poor in the past, and few people would serve full moon wine after giving birth. After all, treat guests to dinner It's a big expense, and the family has more than one child, and several families have to live in such a torment. In his heart, the ritual of full moon wine has a very small sense of existence.

He teased Mu Yu, with a slight smile on his face, and said to the child silently in his heart: Look how much Daddy values ​​you.

"It's fine as Brother Zhao wants. I haven't had a full moon banquet, so I don't understand this."

Zhao Qian patted the young man's head: "Then let's set it up in a restaurant. If everyone comes to the house, it will be troublesome to make noise. Anyway, the restaurant is our own, so everything is convenient."

"it is good."

After discussing the matter with Brother Zhou, he explained to Ri Ri Xian that the restaurant was closed for a day on the day of the full moon in the evening rain, and only entertained guests who came to participate in the full moon wine.

It is not as easy and convenient for the big family to do some things as it is in the village. Many poor and exquisite things have to be made into invitations and sent to them next to each other.At that time, when I married Shaoyu and held a banquet, I just went to the village chief to say something, and then the news would spread in the village, and the people in the village would come by themselves.

It’s not good at the market. If you don’t ask people to send invitations, even if people know about it, they will be embarrassed to come.

He calculated carefully, and there were not two friends who came to the market to make friends. Di Guangzu counted as one, and he really couldn't count the ones who were doing things at hand, but there were quite a few merchants who were not familiar with them. They are all people in the same circle, and their feelings are always invited here and there. He asked people to draw up invitations for all the merchants in the market who are somewhat social. It's their business whether they come or not. .

Not only that, he also wrote invitations to be sent to the county seat, one for Wei Zaichang, one for Zhuang Youcheng, and the Liu family and his wife.

He didn't expect these famous and famous people to come, but he still had to think about it. Before Zhuang Qingran got married, he even gave an invitation card, so Zhuang Qingran would make a fuss about coming. As for Liujiang, it's hard to say, after all, it belongs to the county. The number one wealthy businessman is busy with business and most of them are not free.
