Chapter 105 Chen Defu

With the jade pendant of the young prince, Lin Yubei went very smoothly in the bank. Not only did he get the 1000 taels of silver, but he also had a big shopkeeper by his side.

He kept smiling and led the shopkeeper out of the bank.

The full name of the treasurer of Jufu Bank is Chen Defu. He is a middle-aged man in his 50s with a slightly fatter figure.

I saw him wearing a loose blue satin robe and holding a white jade fan in his hand.

A pair of eyes wandered cunningly, with a flattering smile on his face.

He followed behind Lin Yubei, and lowered his head as soon as he went out.

He was still thinking about holding a banquet later, so that all the shopkeepers in Shanhe County would come to recognize Lin Yubei's face.

He didn't notice that Lin Yubei stopped at all, until Lin Yubei's joking voice came from behind him: "Master Chen! Where are you going?"

Only then did Chen Defu come back to his senses. He raised his head and turned around to look, only to see Lin Yubei sitting on an ox cart, with a man in coarse clothes sitting beside him.

He was slightly startled, then walked over quickly, the flattering smile on his face remained unchanged.

"Look at my eyes, I didn't notice when Mr. Lin stopped!"

Chen Defu smiled and went to the side of the bullock cart, got on the bullock cart with a calm expression, sat next to Lin Yubei, and looked at Lin Yuxi.

He asked, "I don't know who this is?"

Lin Yuxi subconsciously wanted to dodge to the side, but without him, Chen Defu was dressed just like that rich man.

His movements and the cowardice in his eyes were too obvious, how could Lin Yubei not notice it.

Lin Yubei pressed his arm, and introduced to Chen Defu with a smile: "This is my third brother. The shop I will use later is what my third brother will use!"

When Chen Defu heard the words, he couldn't help sighing inwardly, it's a good fortune to have a capable younger brother.

He laughed and said, "So it's the third son Lin, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Lin Yuxi had never seen such a scene before, and in his image, except for the time when he went to Zou Wenfeng for help, every time he met those rich masters, he had to bend his waist and lower his head!
Even if he sent tofu to Qingfeng Building later, the boy who collected the tofu there never gave him any good looks!

He stiffened, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

Fortunately, Lin Yubei was by his side, he smiled and said:
"Shopkeeper Chen is so polite.

My third brother doesn't know anything about opening a shop, so shopkeeper Chen just needs to take care of it! "

Chen Defu also noticed Lin Yuxi's unnaturalness, he quickly said with a smile: "That's natural!
I happen to have a shop in my hand, the location is excellent, there is a small courtyard behind, and there is a well in the courtyard.

If you think it's okay, let's go and have a look? "

Lin Yubei was not hypocritical, and this shop sounded pretty good, so he immediately nodded in response: "Then I will trouble shopkeeper Chen to show me the way!"

"Good talk! Good talk!"

Chen Defu smiled and waved his hands.

Naturally, this shop is also on the East Street, and the ox cart will arrive after a short walk.

Chen Defu got out of the bullock cart first, said to Lin Yubei and Lin Yuxi to wait a moment, then turned and went to the shop next door.

After waiting for less than a cup of tea, Chen Defu came out with a bunch of keys in his hand.

"The shop over here also belongs to Lord Hou, so I will leave the key of this shop with him!"

He got into the ox cart swiftly, and explained with a smile: "The door of this shop is locked inside, we have to enter the yard!"

After Lin Yuxi heard the words, he drove the carriage forward again, passed through two alleys, and then stopped in front of the gate of the courtyard.

Chen Defu got out of the bullock cart, took the key and unlocked the door.

A group of people entered the yard.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see the small door of the pavement. In addition to the pavement, there are three rooms in the yard.

On the right hand side next to the door is the well that Chen Defu mentioned. What is even more surprising is that there is a stone mill in the yard.

Not to mention how satisfied Lin Yuxi was, he was already fantasizing about using this stone mill to grind beans and make tofu in the future!
"This shop used to be a catering business. The room next to the well is the kitchen, and the two rooms on the opposite side are used for living."

Chen Defu smiled, raised his finger and pointed to the open space beside the two rooms and the gate.

"This place can be used to keep ox carts or horse-drawn carts!"

Lin Yuxi heard the words and walked over with the ox, only to see that there was a small tree stump over there, which could just tie the rope to it.

Lin Yubei also noticed it. He frowned slightly and asked, "What kind of tree is this?"

Chen Defu looked at the reputation, and quickly replied: "It is said to be a red plum, but it has not grown for many years. It has been a long time, so I am not sure!"

Red plum?

Lin Yubei stared at the tree stump for a while, and Chen Defu couldn't figure out what Lin Yubei meant.

Lin Yuxi leaned over in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing!" Lin Yubei smiled.Turning around and looking up at the shop, he said, "Go and see the shop!"

Lin Yuxi and Chen Defu followed him in confusion.

The inside of the shop is well-decorated, and the tables, chairs and benches are complete, and even the curtain hanging at the door is clean.

Lin Yuxi couldn't help but wonder if a tenant in this shop closed down right after it opened?
Chen Defu naturally noticed it too, he smiled sarcastically and explained:
"The upper tenant of this shop has just opened for three days, and suddenly he said that the ancestor of the family has passed away. I didn't even have time to refund him the rent, so I hurried to the capital!"

Lin Yubei didn't say anything when he heard the words, but asked about the rent: "This shop is pretty good, how do you calculate the rent?"

Chen Defu said with a smile: "We calculate this on a yearly basis. This shop has a yard, and the annual rent is 15 taels of silver."

There are not many shops with yards on East Street, which are fully equipped and have wells, so the rent is three to forty taels a year.

But this shop was leased to Lin Yubei, so Chen Defu naturally couldn't calculate it at the usual price!

After all, this shop belongs to the Marquis of Zhongwu, and it will belong to the young prince in the future, and now Lin Yubei is helping the young prince.

In addition, he also got a letter sent by Xiao Shizi, and his superiors said that he would fully cooperate with Lin Yubei!
So he not only halved the price, but also waived the deposit.

When Lin Yubei heard 15 taels of silver, he also thought about this in his heart, he nodded immediately, and took out the bank note from his pocket.

Then it is hand over the money, hand over the keys.

Then Chen Defu went to the shop next door and asked someone to bring a pen and ink to write down the lease documents.

It was still Lin Yuxi who signed the document. Once the document was signed, both parties would each hold a copy.

"I don't know if Mr. Lin is free tonight? Or let Chen be the host and host a banquet for you!"

Chen Defu put the document in his arms, looked at Lin Yubei with a smile, and after Lin Yubei replied, he went to order a banquet and asked the boy to inform the shopkeeper!

Lin Yubei also understood what the real purpose of Chen Defu's banquet was, he nodded with a smile and said:

"Treasurer Chen is hosting a banquet, of course I'm free, but I have to go to the pier..."
