Mo Saoyun's nephew reacted very quickly. When he saw that the backyard gate was locked, the young man didn't let Xia Xiaoshu get out of the car. He asked for the key from Mr. Xia, and Xiao Lu got out of the car and opened the backyard gate.

The bunch of keys that Xia Xiaoshu handed to Xiao Lu included at least twenty, large and small, and they were randomly threaded on a round copper plate with a key chain.

Xia Xiaoshu discovered that Xiao Lu lowered his head and did not fiddle with it for a few times. He only tried three keys at most before opening the backyard door. It was obvious that the young man was very observant.

However, perhaps the two large iron gates in the backyard were a little too heavy. When Xia Xiaoshu pushed the gate open from the outside in, Xia Xiaoshu felt that Xiao Lu had some difficulty.

After hurriedly getting out of the car, Xia Xiaoshu called to Xiao Lu: "This iron gate is old, I'm afraid it's rusty, so I'll do it."

With the combined efforts of the two of them, two "bang" sounds were heard, and all the backyard doors were pushed open.

"Although it is somewhat laborious, the iron gate is not as heavy as I thought! It seems that Xiao Lu's body is somewhat weak! I will ask Sister Mo to give some suggestions to his parents, so as to help the young man improve his physical fitness.

Improvement, maybe this is one of the basic reasons why the young man is suddenly tired of studying?" Xia Xiaoshu thought to himself.

Looking around, Xia Xiaoshu found a lot of debris placed against the wall around the yard, including three very old-looking bicycles. It could be seen that these three bicycles must be used regularly by someone.

Empty packaging boxes, special sacks for Chinese herbal medicines, scraps of paper... there were a lot of miscellaneous items piled here and there, and no one bothered to put them in one place before leaving.

The backyard is quite spacious. Not to mention this micro truck, even if an ordinary freight truck comes in, it can park at least two or three trucks.

There are many broad-leaved plane trees planted against the walls on the east and west sides of the courtyard. They are neatly arranged and must have been specially planned in advance. The trunks are tall and the growth is very gratifying. After all, Xiaoxia has been in the countryside for a while. After taking a few glances,

Knowing that these plane trees are at least fifty or sixty years old, it seems that the predecessor of the branch here should be an old house.

There is an oval-shaped fish pond in the center of the courtyard. It is made of pure stone. From a distance, it doesn't look very high. When I get closer, I see, wow! It's quite deep inside. Xia Xiaoshu lowered his head and took a few glances.

I found that the water flowing at the bottom of the fish pond was actually living water. Unfortunately, the water flow was clear and shallow, and there was no trace of a small fish.

The edge of the fish pond was covered with dark green moss. Xiao Xia knew that it was a common Chinese herbal medicine. It was a temporary medicine. If you didn't find the right place, you wouldn't have it when you wanted it.

There are scattered sycamore leaves floating on the surface of the water body, which looks clean.

The rain here in Lishi had stopped for a long time, and the two of them wandered around for a while, stepping on the fallen leaves in the courtyard. Xia Xiaoshu asked Xiao Lu to open all the doors in the store, and he got in and parked the pickup truck.

Stop under the row of sycamore trees on the east side.

"What does this mean? You will have to work here in the future?" Xiao Lu opened all the doors that could be opened and asked casually with a smile.

"Absolutely. The company headquarters asked me to come over and take over the branch here. Looking at the situation in front of me, this branch should have been a very profitable place. Young man, as soon as you entered the door, did you feel a sense of wealth?

Pounce?" Xia Xiaoshu smiled and made some jokes.

"Wealth? Hahaha... That's not the case. I feel a bit of a twilight atmosphere. This place... can hardly feel any contemporary atmosphere. It seems to be the kind of place where the elderly live in retirement." Xiao Lu smiled.

I responded with a few words.

After hearing this, Xia Xiaoshu suddenly felt that Xiao Lu had a scholarly temperament, so Xiao Xia smiled and asked casually: "When you filled out your application for the college entrance examination, did you originally plan to study literature?"

"Oh! How do you know? My aunt told you?" Xiao Lu asked in surprise.

"That's not true. It's just a guess! I feel like you are quite sensitive to the surrounding environment. Your words are accurate and express your true feelings. It seems that you are more suitable for studying literature." Xia Xiaoshu responded a few words tentatively.

Hearing how Mr.

Feeling that he must have guessed what Xiao Lu was thinking, Xia Xiaoshu smiled, said nothing more about this, turned around and walked towards the store.

"Actually, it's nothing... I have always liked studying literature... I originally planned to major in philosophy, but... you also know that most of today's parents will consider their career choices after graduation, so... they have repeatedly insisted that I choose

I majored in science and engineering." Behind Xiao Xia, Xiao Lu suddenly explained a few words.

Turning his head and smiling at Xiao Lu, Xia Xiaoshu said casually: "Let the past go by, and grasp the present with your heart. Let's go! Go into the store and take a look to see if this is a treasure favored by the God of Wealth.

"

"Then I'm here to wish you prosperity!" As he spoke, Xiao Lu cupped Mr. Xia's hand and performed the traditional congratulations on getting rich.

"Hahaha... I'll lend you some good words!"

The layout inside the branch store is much larger than Xia Xiaoshu imagined. At the very least, compared with Wenyu Road, the hall on the first floor is at least forty to fifty square meters larger.

Compared with the atmosphere in the backyard, the decoration here in the store is much more modern. Even though there are some antique Chinese medicine cabinets in the Chinese medicine cabinet, the main facilities inside and outside are decorated in a modern style.

Going up the stairs to the second floor, the area here is much larger than Manager Mu's. After counting, Xiaoxia found that there were five more rooms on the second floor.

The two browsed briefly for a while, then turned and went downstairs. Xia Xiaoshu guessed that the Wentong branch usually mainly sells Western medicines, and the sales proportion of Chinese herbal medicines should not be much.

Not bad, the outside of the shelves has been covered with a layer of blue gauze lining cloth by the original colleagues, so it looks pretty neat inside and out.

Xiao Lu took the key chain from Xiao Lu's hand and opened the front door of the store. Xia Xiaoshu pushed the store door open and stood at the door of the store and looked around for a few times.

The entrance of the Wentong branch of "Qibaotang" is located at a very high location. There are seven steps made of sapphire, and the height of each stone step is higher than the steps of surrounding stores.

many.

From a high position, you can have a panoramic view of the street at the three-way intersection.

"Ouch! Xiao Lu, have you seen it? Diagonally across the street, there is a branch of 'Huyue Tang'! That is our company's serious competitor! The location of this store was chosen, isn't it because we are working together to sing a duel! Haha..."

Xia Xiaoshu smiled and explained a few words casually.

"That store looks much taller than ours. Look at the popularity there. There are at least four shopping guides standing at the door, right? Such a force! They are much more awesome than ours, haha...

..." Xiao Lu joked a few words with Mr. Xia, imitating the tone found in movies and TV shows.

"Who says it's not the case! If you don't have the ability to take advantage of others, no one can survive for a month!" Xia Xiaoshu sighed casually.

At this moment, a man about forty years old walked out of the small restaurant on the south side of the "Hu Yuetang" branch, crossed the road, followed the pedestrian zebra crossing, and walked straight towards Xia Xiaoshu and Xiao Lu.

"Ouch! This is a store you just rented recently, right? I wonder where you two are the Gods of Wealth?"

"Sir, you're welcome! Please come into the store and have a chat. Are you the owner of the restaurant diagonally across the street?"

A few sentences.

"I don't dare to take this, I don't dare to take this! I'm messing around in a chicken-feather shop to eat, please!" As he spoke, the man climbed up the stairs, returned the favor with a gesture, and accompanied Xia Xiao politely.
Chapter completed!
