Chapter 90
Fan Ning drew a set of drawings of the still overnight, and handed it to Zhu Yuanfeng the next day.

The birthday banquet in Zhu's house was still going on, but Fan Ning went to Changqiao Town by boat to find his second uncle.

Fan Ning was not worried about whether Zhu Yuanfeng could buy the Qishi Pavilion. If the Zhu family couldn't even do this little thing, they would still be called the richest man in Pingjiang Mansion in vain.

It was noon when Fan Ning arrived in Changqiao Town. From a long distance, Fan Ning saw his second uncle's Lao Fan grocery store. , After this village, there is no such shop.”

The crisis came sooner than Fan Tiege expected, and no customer came to his shop for ten days.

Although they can still last a month or two in terms of funds, they can't bear the huge mental pressure of no customers for ten days. Anyway, they will close sooner or later, so it is better to close early and find another way out.

Yesterday, Chai's grocery store across the street decided to cut prices by another [-]%, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Fan Tiege didn't sleep all night last night, he was a little listless, and there were a few tufts of white hair on his dark sideburns. Although it was a sunny spring, his heart was as dark as ever.

He is only 30 years old, and he really doesn't know what he can do in the future. He still has to support his two children and support his family. The burden of the whole family is on his shoulders.

The heavy life pressure caused him to grow prematurely, and his shrewd eyes became a little dull, full of confusion about the future life.

"Second uncle!" Fan Ning appeared a dozen steps away, smiling and waving to his uncle.

To Fan Tiege, the smile on his nephew's face was brighter than the sunshine in March. Fan Tiege's gloomy heart suddenly shot into a few rays of sunshine, and the seedlings of hope quietly sprouted.

"Ning'er, when did you come?" Fan Tiege hurried up to greet her.

"I just arrived, and today I came here to find my second uncle."

Fan Ning saluted his second aunt Yu again, "Hello, second aunt!"

The Yu family is from Changqiao Town, and her natal family is also a small businessman, doing cloth business.

14 years ago, the Yu family, who was still a young lady, fell in love with Fan Tiege at first sight. At that time, Fan Tiege was still a waiter in a restaurant. Of course, the Yu family did not agree with her daughter and Fan Tiege.

But the Yu family disregarded their family's objections and stayed with Fan Tiege wholeheartedly. The Yu family had no choice but to admit the marriage when they saw the raw rice being cooked.

The husband and wife set up a stall to do business together, saved a little, and finally opened Lao Fan's grocery store, and gave birth to a pair of twin sons.

During this period of time, the grocery store encountered an existential crisis. Although Yu was anxious and worried, she kept comforting her husband, and the worst would be to start from scratch.

Seeing Fan Ning, Mrs. Yu quickly got up and laughed, "A-Ning must not have eaten! Auntie is going to cook for you."

Fan Ning is No.1 in the child prodigy competition. When Yu returned to her natal home, she talked about her husband as a nephew, which made her natal family envious.

Some relatives even entrusted her to be matchmakers.

"No need for Second Aunt, I will invite Second Uncle to have a drink at the tavern in front, and then talk to Second Uncle about something."

Yu's eyes lit up, she quickly pulled Fan Ning aside, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any clue about opening a store?"

Although Fan Ning is only a nine-year-old child, he is the No. 1 child prodigy, so he must be different from ordinary children.

Especially when her husband told her that the big brother's new house and the hospital were all earned by this little guy, Yu's heart was full of expectations for Fan Ning's proposal.

Fan Ning nodded with a smile, "Second Aunt has to clear the remaining goods quickly."

Yu Shi was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Then you all go quickly, as long as I'm here!"

Fan Tiege took Fan Ning to a tavern not far away. Although it was noon, the tavern's business was average, and the tables in the lobby were only half occupied.

"Old Fan, long time no see." The shopkeeper greeted Fan Tiege with a smile.

They are all old neighbors in the neighborhood. They have been friends for more than ten years and are very familiar with each other.

Everyone knows that Fan Tiege's shop is going to close, so it's not a good time to joke around.

"Shopkeeper Qi, is the private room available?"

"It's empty! Wang Er, hurry up and take Shopkeeper Fan to the elegant room."

A bartender took Fan's uncle and nephew into an inner room next to it. There was no door in the inner room, only a curtain was hung, and a table and four chairs were placed inside, which was better than the benches outside.

"Ning'er, have a drink!"

Fan Ning shook his head, "I have to go to the county government to settle the case later, so I won't drink."

Fan Tiege was a little strange, "Isn't that theft case already closed?"

"not yet!"

Fan Ning smiled, "The case will only be closed if I, the sufferer, sign it. County Magistrate Li is a little anxious and urged me to close the case."

At this time, the bartender brought up several dishes and a plate of meat buns.

Fan Ning picked up a steamed steamed bun, gnawed it and said to his second uncle: "The opening of the store is almost ready. Xu Daru is going to Xuanzhou State School to be an instructor. He plans to close the Kistler Museum, and we just pick it up." come over."

Fan Tiege frowned and said, "I've inquired about it. The rent for shops in Mudu Huamu Market is [-] yuan a year. I'm afraid we can't afford it."

Fan Ning shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no need to rent it, the Zhu family will buy it and pass it on to me. The price is that! It's the Traveling Rock."

Fan Tiege was startled, "It costs at least two to three thousand guan to buy that shop, and that stone is so valuable?"

"Second Uncle doesn't know, yesterday Zhu's family celebrated their birthday, a large group of rich merchants and tycoons were vying to buy that Xishan Traveling Stone, and in the end it was Mr. Zhu who bought it at a high price.

In addition to the Kistler Pavilion, I was given another 3000 taels of silver. In addition, Mr. Zhu’s granddaughter also wanted to invest 3000 taels of silver in the Kistler Pavilion, accounting for [-]% of the total. "

Fan Ning didn't want to mention the wine, so he briefly talked about what happened yesterday.

Fan Tiege felt like he was dreaming, spending thousands of taels of silver at every turn, which was unbelievable for a low-level businessman like him, and the luxury of a wealthy family was beyond his comprehension.

"Ning'er, the shop is yours, and I'll be your shopkeeper."

Fan Tiege had no confidence in his heart. The goods were cleared, and he only had two hundred coins left in his hand. How could it be compared with the investment of tens of thousands of coins.

Fan Ning smiled slightly, "I originally planned to give my second uncle a third share of this store, but because the Zhu family also invested in the capital, taking up [-]%, so I can only give you two shares, and you don't need to invest a penny."

"No! No! No!"

Fan Tiege shook his head like a rattle, jokingly, two cents worth two thousand coins, and he couldn't take advantage of his nephew.

"I'll be your shopkeeper. I don't want any of you. Ning'er, this is the basic principle of being a human being. Don't make things difficult for me!"

Fan Ning is really a bit overwhelmed, how come the second uncle is as stubborn as his father?

He sighed and said: "Second uncle, listen to me, if you are an outsider, I will not give you any part, but you are my second uncle, and you will run it in the open from now on, and I will be behind the scenes. The store has nothing to do with me in the government's registration, so you must be a part of it!"

Speaking of this, Fan Tiege also understood his nephew's good intentions.

He thought for a while and said, "Let's do this! I only want [-]% of the store's share. It's just a loan from you. I'll use the interest to pay back slowly in the future."

Seeing that his second uncle was determined, Fan Ning nodded and agreed.

"There are three owners in this store, one is my father, he takes [-]% of the owner, of course, he just helps me to occupy a seat, he will not interfere with the operation of the store.

Followed by Zhu Daguan, who accounted for four components, followed by the second uncle, accounted for one component.

In addition, the second uncle is the shopkeeper, responsible for the daily operation, and pays a salary of [-] yuan a month. Basically, I will write down these terms later, and everyone will sign and postpon them to the government for record. "

Fan Tiege smiled wryly and said, "I don't know anything about stones, how can I be worthy of a monthly salary of [-] yuan?"

Fan Ning poured him a glass of wine and said with a smile: "So the first thing for the second uncle is to study. I have already made an agreement with Mr. Zhou. From the day after tomorrow, the second uncle will go to Jiangwan Village for ten days, and Mr. Zhou will be in charge. I gave my second uncle a class, and he patted my chest to promise me that I would be a teacher in ten days."

"Who is Mr. Zhou?" Fan Tiege was a little confused.

"Second uncle should know! It's Yuanwai Zhou."

"It was him!"

Fan Tiege was taken aback. Of course he knew that Zhou Yuanwai lived in seclusion in Jiangwan Village, aloof.

The nephew actually asked him to teach him to distinguish stones.

"Ning'er, isn't this too troublesome?"

Fan Ning said unhappily: "The old man took away my Southern Dynasty dancing girl Shi, and he won't help with such a little help, how could he?"

Fan Tiege guessed that his nephew had friendship with Zhou Yuanwai, so he didn't say anything more.

Seeing that his fate had turned around again, Fan Tiege was very moved. He thought of the despair these days, and at his most critical moment, it was his nephew who saved him.

"Ning'er, thanks to you this time..." Fan Tiege couldn't hide his excitement, his voice choked up.

Fan Ning quickly comforted him, "Second Uncle, don't say that, this is what I want to do myself. Speaking of which, I also want to thank Second Uncle for helping me. Second Uncle and Auntie will move to Mudu Town. Our house happened to be vacant."

Fan Tiege stabilized his emotions. He nodded, "I'll go back and tell your aunt first. I'll go to Jiangwan Village in two days. I still have a lot of things to arrange."
