A visit to Fangchun

As soon as he left, Grandma Liu went to look for the village head again, and told him carefully: "After all, we are at the foot of the emperor, not far from the place where gold is everywhere in the capital. Our distant relatives, say we can curry favor, He just looked down on us, and sent a few taels of silver, which means that we will not always bother other people in the future. But if we say that we can't flatter, there is such a shadow there, and those who pretend to be powerful can also borrow three points .”

"Our uncle has gone out to do business. The land at home, I am an old woman in her [-]s, and our daughter has two children to take care of. I am afraid that I will not be able to plant it if I am exhausted. I would like to ask the village chief to help me as a staff officer, you Help me find two people to plant the land, and I will take care of food and clothing, is that okay?"

The village head thought that it would not be a troublesome thing if he was rich and lazy, and wanted to hire people to farm the land, so he nodded first.He asked again: "What do you mean when you said earlier that you can take advantage of your distant relatives?"

Grandma Liu smiled and said, "I've been wandering around the city for the past few days, and I saw a very good shop. I thought, you are a highly respected old man, help me find some people from the village. I will pay for the purchase of things, and my daughter will take care of it." Cooking, how about we open a shop there?"

The village chief is happy!

This is a good thing to lead the villagers to earn money, so what else?

He hurriedly laughed and said: "People in our village, whoever you think is good, we will let him go! This is up to me! Don't worry, as long as you can really afford the money, it will be fine!"

Grandma Liu laughed: "Look at what you've always said, if I take all your strong laborers away from the village? Who will grow the land? The emperor wants rent and food, and I will ask you for it! I only need a few old people The old widow grandma will help clean and wash, and three or four clever young children, plus two or three well-informed old grandpas to help with the eyes, will do. Open a big car shop for those coolies and southerners. The car dealers who come to the north have tea and dinner."

The village chief hesitated: "I'm not afraid that our people will not be able to endure hardships and grievances in that kind of place. I'm afraid that the place will be chaotic and you won't be able to stand up."

At that time, if they are bullied by local hooligans from this gang or that faction, the people in the village will cry to the village chief when they come back.

Grandma Liu smiled calmly and mysteriously: "How else can we say that our relative can be a shadow to borrow his prestige? People in the capital, who can be offended and who can't be offended are the most despised. Really. This matter is the least of my worries, you just put your heart in your stomach!"

The village head suddenly realized, laughed haha, and immediately made a decision: no problem.

In just two or three days, Grandma Liu had already picked someone.

Ni Er got Tanchun's order to go back from Grandma Liu and go up to the village for seven days to find her.

When the two met, they exchanged pleasantries and secretly admired Tanchun's timing.

On the same day, Ni Er took Grandma Liu into the city and showed her the storefront that she and the village chief had boasted about.The street in front of this store is the widest road from the wharf to Beijing. The back door is facing a restaurant, and the street in front of the restaurant goes straight down, which is the south gate of the capital.

Grandma Liu is a village woman, she also knows that this place is good, she said with a smile: "This place is good, everyone who comes in and out should leave."

Ni Er didn't say much, took her to the yamen, handed over the deed directly to her, Fang said: "The master said, you are relatives, there is no reason for anyone to keep a hand in this kind of thing. This shop, It’s yours, it’s yours. You can do as much as you can, if you can’t do it, don’t force it, it’s okay.”

Grandma Liu also knew that in a place like the capital city, with such a good location, this store is worth the old nose's money, so she said with a tearful smile, "Brother, don't lie to me. How can anyone learn a craft with money? Why don't you do things? If the girl treats me well, I will naturally treat the girl well. I'm not a fool without conscience."

Ni Er laughed and said, "Well, I'll send you back today first. I'll pick you up tomorrow. You've got all your staff and packed your bedding. You'll be living in the store from tomorrow on."

Grandma Liu agreed.The next day a group of people came to the store in a noisy manner, and Ni Er brought two brothers who were eating loan sharks together in the casino back then, and helped them run around. Said to Grandma Liu: "These two are my dead brothers. From now on, I will follow my grandma here to watch the scene. With them, if there is any trouble in black and white, you don't have to worry about it. In case they can't handle it Well, of course you will find me."

Grandma Liu agreed, and left Ni Er again: "Brother, go after dinner?"

Ni Er smiled and waved his hands, and said: "Tomorrow, I will send the cook to teach grandma and your wife how to cook that meal."

Grandma Liu couldn't stay, and seeing him go, she was full of regret, and muttered, "I didn't even eat a bite of food after a busy day."

The two tall and burly men laughed: "Second brother Ni runs a restaurant and is a famous diner in the capital. He doesn't need your dinner, grandma. Don't mutter, hurry up and open up a dozen mouths. Is it true?" of."

Only then did Grandma Liu understand why Tanchun had sent this person to teach her how to open a big car shop. She was relieved, laughed, and went to work without mentioning it.

One of the two strong men was named Pi San'er and the other Bao Liu'er.The two walked along the back door of the big car shop, bypassed the back kitchen of the dilapidated restaurant, and when they turned a corner, they saw the back alley of a good mansion.

The two of them pretended to light cigarettes and stood at the entrance of the alley for a while.Immediately, someone stepped forward: "What are you doing?"

The two pretended to be stupid: "We just came to the city to open a big car shop, and it's over there." Turning their heads and pointing to the way, they laughed again: "Isn't this going around to see what kind of neighbors they are? ?”

The man frowned: "How dare you pick up the man who died in the big car shop before?!"

The two pretended to be panic-stricken, dropped the pipes on the ground in a hurry, swallowed dryly, leaned over and said in a low voice: "The two of us used to watch the scene in the casino outside the city. Now we are hired to take care of the big car shop. I really don’t know the details of this place. The uncle is a sensible person, a local snake, and I will have to count on you to take care of you in the future. The big car shop a few days ago was actually dead? No wonder it’s so cheap. Give it to our boss."

The man walked away from the two of them in disgust, covered his mouth and nose, and seemed to dislike the smell of the two of them, but he still told them: "The guests who came and went quarreled and killed someone by mistake, so the yamen closed the shop. It has been closed for two years, of course it is cheap. But since you are from the countryside outside the city, you don’t have to spend so much money. If you are honest, you can keep the business for a long time. Go back and tell your boss, work hard, Don't make it dirty. Just across the street, your donkeys and horses are not cleaned up, and we are all panicked."

Pi San'er looked back at the dilapidated restaurant, and burst into laughter: "No wonder the restaurant's business is not good!"

Grandma Liu started to run a big car shop in a prosperous way.do not mention.
