Chapter 126 Panru Alley in Gusu City

Eight days later, Jiang Ying and Gao Xiaomei took a big bend along the waterway before finally arriving in Suzhou, but they couldn't see the town for a long time.This is very different from the Jiangnan in Jiang Ying's impression, so he asked from the farmer——

It turns out that the entire Soviet land has changed owners and banners several times since she took over the mission last time.Now the war has just ended, but it is no longer called Suzhou, but "Southern Kingdom".

The "Suzhou City" that Jiang Ying thought was the most important town in the Southern Kingdom - Gusu City.

"Sister, where are we going to open the shop?" Sitting on the second floor of the teahouse, Miss Gao pretended to drink tea.

Jiang Ying and Gao Xiaomei wandered around the city of Gusu for two full days, basically passing all the commercial shops in the market.

Jiang Ying shook her hand, which she had personally written in the "Yellow Pages of Shops for Rent and Sale in the City", and pointed to one of them:
"There are two plans, one is here." She was referring to an empty shop on the second floor of the "Taohuawu Street" that the government is now vigorously promoting.

Although it is not directly facing the street, it is the key to the administration of the new city lord. It is conceivable that the preferential treatment obtained overtly and secretly must be indispensable, at least the passenger flow before and after opening is guaranteed.

"Or here." Then her hand moved to a position a few rows later - a small shop with a square of three feet in the Panru alley on the north side of the Lion Grove.

In the past, this shop was dedicated to selling rouge and hairpin rings to the maids and maidservants in the Lion Grove. After the regime was handed over, the Lion Grove fell into a state of no owner for a long time, and this shop was naturally unsustainable.

Jiang Ying nodded at the table: "In other places, either the embroidery business is fiercely competitive, or there is a mixture of fish and dragons, which is not a scene for ladies and ladies to consume at all."

Gao Xiaomei lay on the table and looked at the two addresses that Jiang Ying had ordered: "The shop on Taohuawu Street is on the second floor, which is a bit troublesome, but the decoration is high-end, the privacy is good, and the room is transparent, so the things can be sold for three cents more. , those big families will like it."

"However, the small shops in Panru Lane used to have accumulated customers. Now they are not scattered in the Lion Forest like birds and beasts, and there is word of mouth. After all, they are servants of the public servants. in addition……"

There is an underground spring hidden under the rockery in the Lion Forest, which has weak spiritual power.With this spiritual power, Gao Xiaomei can practice better.

"Then let's see the price!" Gao Xiaomei straightened her body and began to scratch her fingers: "The shop on Taohuawu Street costs 300 taels of silver a year, and the government charges 35 taels of management fee. Panru Lane..."

Jiang greeted him: "The annual rent for the storefront is 85 taels of silver, and after the storefront is added, the asking price for the houses is only 900 taels for sale or not."

"So low?" Gao Xiaomei's eyes lit up, no businessman could not be tempted by the cheap location.

"The Lion Grove has been looted many times in the past few years, and the owner has changed five years ago, and there is no one to take over, so the price is low."

"That's really a bit confusing."

Jiang Ying thought for a while, and made up his mind: "If you want me to say, political strife is common in the world, and now Taohuawu Street has official support, but once it is overthrown, isn't it also the target of public criticism? Let's not burn this hot stove."

Panru Lane has green bricks and whitewashed walls in Wuwa, and a Linglong narrow alley. It is not a winding path, but if there is a Mingyan embroidery workshop, it will indeed be a touch of bright color.

The two acted quickly and rushed back to Panru Lane that afternoon to take over the title deed to the entire front shop and back room.

But he was deflated by the owner——

"The last time you two came here, I thought it was just to have a look. When it comes to buying a land deed, I have to ask you about your identities. These years are too chaotic, and I don't want to take ill-gotten gains in a muddle."

The owner of the house is an old woman who is nearly seventy years old. She is completely clothed in coarse cloth, with only copper-sized pigeon blood agarwood hanging from her earlobes. It can be seen that she was once wealthy.

"To be honest with my mother-in-law, my brother and sister are from Tongcheng. Our ancestors have been in the embroidery shop for generations. When we were young, our parents came to Suzhou to do business and have not been heard from since. When we grew up, we wanted to find relatives, so we needed a person. A place to stay.”

Gao Xiaomei blinked, bluffing one after another.Her fake Tongcheng accent also made it impossible for the old woman to tell the difference.The old lady looked at the two, one was tall and handsome, with sword eyebrows and long eyes, and the other was slim and graceful, with a cute smile and a cute smile.

It looks like he is innocent, but...

"Since it's going through the needles from generation to generation, then you two can show me a hand, so that I can rest assured that I am old."

When Xiaomei Gao heard it, she smiled even more cutely: "Okay! Mother-in-law, I'll embroider a longevity mountain for you!" After speaking, she pulled Jiang Ying and went out of the house——

"Brother, it's bright outside, let me look for the red plain satin and gold and silver thread in your pannier!"

Jiang Ying understood the idea, took out these two things from Najie, and secretly delivered them to Gao Xiaomei.Pretend that Gao Xiaomei found it from the basket on her back.

It is difficult to use spiritual power in the mortal world, but Gao Xiaomei is patient, sewing stitch by stitch until dark, and the shadows of the mountains and clouds on the upper half of the word "Shou" have come to life.

How can the old lady not believe it?

"Okay, this class of embroidery workers were top-notch even in the Lion Forest in the past. They can go back and receive the reward!" The old woman sighed and asked Gao Xiaomei to stop what she was doing.

"Young people, you still have to cherish your eyes, stop sewing at night, you won't be in a hurry when your eyes are blurred!"

Jiang Ying stood behind Gao Xiaomei and looked at the old woman with something different in her eyes, as if she had finally met the person she wanted to see.

Perhaps because of the particularity of not doing business at night, the old lady insisted not to talk about business at night: "Come over at noon tomorrow, and we will pay you both!"

Two moments later, the two people who had left quietly appeared across the street again.

"Sister, don't you come back tomorrow? Is there a problem here?"

When Jiang Ying was reading the novel, she hated stupid things like getting cut off at the last minute, so when it was her turn, she wanted to be as safe as possible: "We are monks, so it's okay to stay out for a night, just in case. "

Gao Xiaomei didn't say much when she saw this. Standing there all night was nothing, and there was still a faint aura mixed in the air here, which made it even more appropriate.

The first half of the night had been peaceful, but after the ugly hour, the lights in the house suddenly turned on, and a faint light came out from the crack in the courtyard door.

Jiang Ying heard a rustling in the room, could it be that the old man wants to get up at night?

After a while, she suddenly heard the sound of some furniture falling to the ground. She felt bad, so she jumped into the house without saying a word, jumped five feet and tore off the old woman's white silk hanging from the beam, and gently shook the old man. Put it on the bed.

She noticed a letter on the candle-lit table:
[Girls, I'm extremely sorry, I can no longer trade land deeds with you.This document is given to you. As for the money from selling the land, please use some of it to bury the old man.

This place was originally Liu Ji's Zhichai Shop. The owner, Ms. Liu, was a widow, and I was a nun in the Lion Forest. We were similar in age, so we got along well.

Ten years ago, there was a bloodbath in the Lion Forest. I hid in her shop while those lunatics searched the roster over and over again... It was me who was timid and afraid of death. In the end, she was the one who killed me while I hid in the back room. , dare not make a sound.

For many years, I wanted to find someone trustworthy and hand over this shop to her... Then, I went down and knelt down to beg her for forgiveness.I was finally asked to wait for the two of you, to look for relatives with love, and to be skillful with needlework. Naturally, I have the ability to make it all the way here in this troubled world.

The old man is not hard, you don't have to worry about turning this place into a haunted house, but it's still troublesome, I hope you will forgive me. 】
