Chapter 87
Chen Nianguan stared blankly, holding the two ten taels silver notes in his hand, looked at the Dou brothers: "Is it twenty taels?"
"That's right."
The Dou brothers didn't notice something was wrong with Chen Nianguan at all, the excitement on their faces was obvious.
"Then the business of the Chen Family Rice Noodle Shop is really good. When we go back to our hometown, we are the first one to sell rice noodles. Everyone in the city likes this new thing. The shop earned so much in the first month. Master Chen, weWill soon be able to earn more silver."
The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, both looking forward to it.
Chen Nianguan understood. It is probably a small town where the Dou brothers opened their shop. The store is probably not big. In addition, they may have just started business. They are not as good at opening a store as Mr. Zeng and Li Fushang. It took them a month to make money.The store will give half of the silver.
She may think that it is too little, but for the Dou brothers, it is estimated that they have just paid back their money.
But no, if she had been selling rice noodles at a stall, she would have felt that earning one hundred taels of silver a month was already a huge sum of money.
After realizing this, Chen Nianguan accepted the twenty taels of silver without changing his face. Thinking that the two brothers used to work in the bodyguard company, he mentioned that his family planned to hire some guys who had worked in the bodyguard company.Some candidates.
"Master Chen is planning to find a female bodyguard?" The Dou brothers were surprised.
Chen Nianguan nodded.
She naturally knows that it's hard to find female bodyguards these days, but as a single girl, it's not impossible to hire male bodyguards, but it's just troublesome, and she has to avoid it everywhere. If possible, she wants to find a female bodyguard for herself, with the best fisting skillsIt's the kind that can fight one hundred against one.
"We don't say that there are few female escorts in our escort business. Many of them quit this profession when they are old and go home." The Dou brothers said, "If they are asked to be guards for others, they are generally unwilling to do this kind of work.Son!"
Chen Nianguan was disappointed.
The Dou brothers looked at each other, and then asked if Chen Nianguan was looking for them. After hesitating for a moment, they said, "If Master Chen is with me, I will only take care of you alone.Some, bigger appetites, I wonder if you dislike Master Chen?"
The Dou brothers recommended to Chen Nianguan a cousin of the same clan named Si Ya.
The family is poor, but the cousin is strong and can eat. At the beginning, the uncle's family could not open the pot. The Dou brothers were working in the escort company, and there was a shortage of servants in the yard to do rough work, so they entrusted themPeople were taken away.
At that time, Si Ya was only seven years old, and she could lift a stone mill that the grown men in the yard couldn't easily lift, and order her to do heavy and rough jobs in the escort team, which was very useful.
Si Ya survived like this.
Now that the Dou brothers are no longer working in the escort company, they ask Si Ya to help their family's pho shop, but Si Ya is unwilling.
She was in the escort company since she was a child, and she watched the work of the escort team and practiced martial arts, and then she also learned for a few years, and clamored to travel the rivers and lakes with the escort team, how could the uncle and aunt be willing?The Yangdou brothers have been persuading her to come.
The Dou brothers couldn't persuade her, Si Ya was determined to make her kung fu useful.
Of course, flying a dart depends on skill, and being a bodyguard naturally also depends on skill. The Dou brothers felt that if Chen Nianguan didn't think she was young and ate a lot, it might be a good idea to ask Si Ya to work for her.
"Is she young? How old is she this year?"
"She is only twelve this year!" The Dou brothers said, "Master Chen, what do you think?"
"If she wants to, then ask her to come here." Chen Nianwan also knew that girls who are bodyguards are hard to come by. Now that she can find one, her appetite will be bigger soon. She has money and can afford to support others.As long as this Si Ya is really easy to use, that's fine.
So, the Dou brothers took their leave and left, saying that they would ask someone to bring Si Ya here soon.
Chen Nianguan was sitting in the private room sipping tea, and was about to go home after a short break, when he saw Mr. Peng walking up with a pot of tea smiling, "Miss Chen Si!"
"East Peng's family!" Chen Nianwan put down the tea bowl with a smile.
Calculating the time, the cook that Boss Peng's family sent to the shop next door for training should have completed his studies, and he is already on his way back to Beijing by this time.
Funing County is far away from Capital City, and it will take some time to prepare for the opening of the store after returning to Beijing. I am afraid that there will be some time to wait to receive dividends from Mr. Peng's family.
Mrs. Peng's family gave Chen Nianguan a pot of good tea, "Ms. Chen Si is making a lot of money these days!"
The branch partner came to find Chen Nianguan and went to Taoran Tea House to talk about the world. These days Pengdong Furniture is in his eyes.
At the beginning, he also saw Chen Nianguan always leading people to his tea house, and then he heard about the Chenjia Pho Shop posting an offer to find a partner to open the shop together.
As for the fact that he sent people to the Chenjia Hor Noodle shop to learn how to do it, and signed an agreement with Chen Nianguan to open the shop, it was just a whim.
Now that the chef who has been educated and graduated as a teacher has been sent back to Capital City by him, he has also settled one concern, hoping to receive good news.
Chen Nianguan looked at Dong Peng's house, but thought of the ice shop he was about to open in Prefecture City.
Tsk, selling ice, this business is only for the rich and powerful. Once the shop opens, it should be more eye-catching than the Chenjia Pho shop.
That's how it also attracted the local tyrant Kui Liu. If she asked her to open the ice shop, she might offend someone.
Her foundation in the Prefecture City is always too shallow, why not find a big tree to partner with, so that she can enjoy the shade?
Anyway, the last time Kuiliu came to the store to make trouble, she had already given away the title of Peng Shangshu of Capital City, so she just recruited Peng's family directly.True to its name.
When Chen Nianguan thought about it, he smiled and looked at Peng Dong's family with his chin on his hands: "Peng Dong's family, I want to open a new shop in Prefecture City, I wonder if you are interested? Make a little money and be a behind-the-scenes owner? Then every dayAfter a month of waiting, the money will be collected."
Since he is so interested in the Chen Family Rice Noodle Shop, and she offered to give the profit, guess he would agree, right?
Peng Dong's family laughed out loud, twisting the tea bowl cover in his hand, "Such a big benefit, Miss Chen Si should leave it to others!"
Eh, so unmoved?
"Don't Peng Dong's family ask first, what kind of business do I do for a living? How much money can I earn?"
Peng Dongjia shook his head, "I think Miss Chen Si doesn't need someone from me, Peng, to be your partner."
"Oh!" Chen Nianguan was disappointed.
Peng Dongjia looked at her: "But, you really want to find yourself a partner in the Prefecture City store, but I can recommend a suitable candidate for you."
Chen Nianguan was startled.
"Come again tomorrow, and I'll write you a letter of recommendation." Who is Dong Peng's family?One can see through Chen Nianguan's little thoughts.
"Our Peng family, after all, is based in Capital City. People from other places may not sell our Peng family's face." The Peng family smiled faintly, "If you want to find support for your shop in Prefecture City, you should find the Chuzhou government.family, more secure."
Chen Nianguan smiled embarrassingly.
A boss is a boss, you can't hide anything.
But since Mr. Peng's family is willing to recommend her, and listened to his wishes, the person who recommended him is from a family in Prefecture City, and he probably has a lot of background. Chen Nianguan is very grateful.
Turning around and telling Liu Shi about this matter, Liu Shi looked at Chen Nianguan fixedly, and only sighed after a long time.
Chen Nianguan knew that Liu was thinking of her late husband.
Then why would Peng Dong's family be willing to introduce him to a family in Prefecture City besides rejecting him?Isn't it for the sake of the dead Chen Ming?
I heard that Peng Dong's family has a good relationship with Mrs. Fan, and he regarded Mrs. Fan's grandson as a treasure before he got married.
And this treasure was saved by Chen Ming with his life, wouldn't he be impressed by the members of their Chen family?
Chen Nianguan was also in a trance when he thought of the many conveniences that Chen Ming had received for saving his life. At this moment, that Zhang Erlang also came to her.
"Wanniang, I have something to tell you!"
Zhang Erlang clenched his fist and coughed lightly, with a bit of embarrassment.
Ever since he called her Guanniang directly in front of Kui Liu, he hasn't changed his words when he was outside.
"What's up?"
"Can you go out with me?" Zhang Erlang said, seeing Chen Nianwan frowned, and quickly added, "Not far, it's next door."
not far?right next door?
Isn't He Carpenter's house next door?What carpenter do you want?
Chen Nianguan followed Zhang Erlang out the door and was about to turn left when Zhang Erlang quickly stopped, "No, Wanniang, this way."
The left neighbor is the right house, the left neighbor is Carpenter He, and the right neighbor she remembers is a local family. When did Zhang Erlang know them so well?
Seeing Chen Nianguan coming, Zhang Erlang took out the key from his cuff, pushed the door open, and let Chen Nianguan in.
Only then did Chen Nianguan realize that there was no one inside.
No, how could Zhang Erlang have the key to this house?
"Zhang Erlang?"
"I bought this house." Zhang Erlang saw Chen Nianguanyou standing outside the door and did not come in, so he walked in first, "Look, do you like it?"
"You bought it?" Chen Nianguan was surprised, this house?????, is it Zhang Erlang's?
"I bought this house as a gift for you." Zhang Erlang waved his sleeves embarrassedly and covered his face, "I can't. When we got married, I didn't marry you alone, right?"
He has long wanted to buy a house of his own.
Even if they are poor, they should still have a place to live. Otherwise, when they really get married, will they still be in Wan Wan's house?
Therefore, as soon as he got the money he won from the betting funds of the government test, he had a plan in mind.
There are only three members in Guanwan's family, all of whom are female dependents. If they live far away, they may not be able to take care of them. Therefore, after marriage, Wan Wan lived as close as possible to herself, Liu Shi and Xuan Xuan.
The house should still be in Yanlai Lane, right?After he came back, he went door by door and asked, is there anyone who is willing to sell the house?
But most of them are locals in Funing County, and they live well. Of course, many people are unwilling!
This family is also a local, but he has seen the layout inside, and it is next door to the Chen family, so he is most interested in this house. Originally, they were not willing to sell it to him.
Later, Zhang Erlang Tuo Yaren found a house of similar size in a lane similar to Yanlai Lane, and was willing to give an additional twenty taels of silver. That family was finally loosened and willing to move away, and this house was given to him.bought it.
Chen Nianguan opened his mouth, and then thought wrongly, "Where did you get so much money to buy a house?"
At the beginning, she bought the house next door from Master Zeng, but it cost about two hundred taels before and after. This house looks better than the courtyard next door she bought, and it must be more expensive. Where did Zhang Erlang get so much money?
Zhang Erlang's shares in the two stores and branches are still in his hands!His monthly bill is only fifteen taels, and if it is not enough, it is the money saved from copying books before. Fifty taels is a lot of money.
Look at this house, I'm afraid I can't get it without two hundred and fifty taels.
"Zhang Erlang, have you become a thief?"
Zhang Erlang was startled, stroked his forehead, "Niang Wan, so you see me like that?"
"Otherwise how can you afford a house?"
"In short, the money to buy the house came from a clean source."
Although it was a gamble, it did have a clear source.
This court did not prohibit gambling during the period when students were taking the exam, so the inn in Fucheng bet on the students' cases was also allowed by the government. Zhang Erlang took advantage of his confidence in Chen Nianjian, when no one was optimistic about him.Betting is also a wise venture capital investment.
Although there were some students who raised bets secretly later, which led to a decrease in the odds in the end, there were still few people who bet on Chen Nianjian to win the list. Zhang Erlang spread his bets more, so although the betting capital was not large, he won a lot, so he saved up.A sum of money to buy a house.
"It turns out that you secretly hid the money yourself." Zhang Erlang didn't know the source of the money, but Chen Nianguan refused.
"Guanniang!" Zhang Erlang had no choice but to reveal that Chen Nianjian's bet on him was the county's chief case.
"Small bets are fun, but big bets are harmful."
Chen Nianguan is not a rigid person. In her last life, she would go across the sea to go to casinos for entertainment and watch horse racing in Happy Valley, but she is a person with principles.
"Don't become a gambler, become a bad gambler." Chen Nianguan warned, "Otherwise, I will divorce you."
Zhang Erlang clenched his fist and coughed again, vowing that he would never gamble with money casually in the future.
"After we get married, you will be in charge of all my money. If you hold it, you don't have to worry about me going to gamble."
"That's about the same." Chen Nianguan felt relieved, that Zhang Erlang boldly reached out and grabbed her soft hand, Chen Nianguan's eyes widened and he looked up at him.
"Wan, Niang Wan, after my hometown has tried it and become a Juren master, let's, let's get married, okay?"
Chen Nianguan thought for a while, stretched out his fingers and counted: "But you are not a scholar, aren't you a scholar before you can take the exam?"
"I think I can pass the examination for a scholar." Zhang Erlang said confidently, "So, when I become a Juren master, let's, let's have a happy event?"
Chen Nianguan was about to nod, when he suddenly thought of something, "Should you ask someone to tell my aunt about this?"
"I'm planning to do that." Zhang Erlang smiled and heaved a sigh of relief, "I just wanted to ask you first! If you promise, Wanniang, this matter will be settled naturally."
Chen Nianguan looked at the dazzling smiling face, pursed his lips, and lowered his head in embarrassment, but secretly said in his heart: Oh, I am really going to start a family, and I have no sense of reality at all.
