"This is our shop, how does it look?"

"Well, it's more than twice as big as Fengde Building..." Xue An looked around and hesitated, "The rent isn't cheap, is it?"

"Fortunately, I did a small favor to the landlord, and she gave me a discount. The last tenant didn't own a restaurant. We need to build a kitchen behind the house. The front hall doesn't need to be decorated. Let's bring it in

Just set up the tables and chairs that came."

"In this case, we can open in half a month at most." Xue An was a little excited.

"Agui will bring the masons here later. You have to explain your requirements carefully. What kind of stove and kitchen you want will be whatever you want."

"Thank you, shopkeeper!"

Xue An was in high spirits, but Chen Dayou looked left and right before sighing and saying, "It will take some time to get used to it. I don't feel as comfortable as I did in the old place."

While talking, Agui arrived. Xue An looked expectantly, but did not see a worker following behind.

"Why, you haven't reached an agreement with the workers?"

"What a hell..." Agui shook his head and sighed, "When I asked for workers, not a single worker in the square agreed. As soon as I approached to inquire, they packed up and ran away as if they had seen the plague."

When Zhou Shi heard the word "God of Plague", his whole body tensed up.

"So, yes..." Xue An glanced at the shopkeeper.

Zhou Shi sighed: "The guild has taken measures. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to recruit workers in the capital."

"Shopkeeper, no matter what, we go to Jinmen to find workers..."

While the three of them were worrying, they suddenly heard a loud voice coming from outside the door:

"Xiao Zhou, why did you come here by yourself?"

Although Zhou Shi couldn't help but tremble when he heard this voice, he still turned his head, forced out a stiff smile, and said: "Sister-in-law Jin San! I'll take the guys to see the shop."

"Oh my, Shopkeeper Jun's guy is really pretty! What are the names of the two young men? How old are they? Where do they live? Are they married?"

As soon as Jin Sansao, who was wearing heavy makeup, saw Xue An and Agui, whose faces were full of shock and fear, her eyes suddenly lit up. She jumped over the threshold and flew to the two of them, pulling them to ask questions.

The two of them had never seen this battle before, and they all looked to Zhou Shi for help, but Zhou Shi could only grin and shrug, saying that there was nothing he could do against this weird sister-in-law.

"Sister..."

"Oh, this handsome young man is talking nonsense. How can he be a big sister at his age?" Jin Sansao laughed so hard that the corners of her mouth were torn apart, and she slapped Agui in a petulant manner, almost knocking him to the ground. "Sister, I knew it.

The man named Deng wants to make things difficult for you, so he specially hired a bricklayer to help you."

Oh? Zhou Shi hurriedly protected Xue An behind him and looked behind Jin Sansao——

"Dad, this is where we work? It's really shabby."

"Nonsense, does the Eighth Building deserve to invite us two?"

I saw two men with quite different statures standing at the door, looking up at the shop. They spoke with Jinmen accents, and their words did not conceal their views on the shop.

One of the two people is tall and thin, and the other is short and fat. The taller one is a head taller than Zhou Shi, and the short one is no different from a seven or eight-year-old child. But the two people are like mung bean eyes and flat noses carved out of the same mold.

Prove that this is a father and son.

I hope they are not a father and son like Boss Che... Zhou Shi thought to himself.

"Let me introduce, this is the Qi family and his son. Their craftsmanship is the best in Tianjin. If my sister hadn't stepped in personally, I might not have been able to invite them!"

Sister-in-law Jin San said, turned around and left. "Xiao Qi, it's a good job. Wait until I get back to pay you."

The father of the Qi family responded: "Thank you, third sister-in-law."

It seems that I have underestimated the reputation of Sister-in-law Jin. No wonder she was so rude to Deng Zeen... Zhou Shi thought, and saw the Qi family and his son walking around the room, pointing and saying:

"The walls need to be repainted, the broken tiles on the roof have to be replaced, and the floor tiles, one deep and one shallow, need to be re-paved..."

Zhou Shi said politely: "Our Fengde Building will bear the food, accommodation, materials used, and hired help for both of you. Sorry for the trouble."

He doesn't want to owe Jin Sansao too many favors, and feels that it should be so.

The father of the Qi family waved his hand and said: "You can't hire us with money, so you can go and do whatever you want. We are still busy."

"Hey, you want to start work now? Just you two?"

The father of the Qi family rolled his eyes at Zhou Shi and said, "Why, do you want to build a palace or a temple of heaven? Two people are not enough? Come on, don't stay here and get in the way."

Several people were kicked out by him and stood on the street looking at each other.

"Let's go, we believe in the people Jin Sansao invited." After a moment of pause, Zhou Shi said.

Agui followed quickly. "That shopkeeper, sister-in-law, is our landlord?"

"People should not be judged by their appearance. She takes great care of us and should not be rude."

"Understood..."

Under the moonlight above the willow trees, Zhou Shi quietly returned to Yongde Lane alone.

"That's what I say, but Mr. Mo also said that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital. Jin Sansao and the people she invited can't tell where they are, so it's better to come and take a look... Hey, it's so late, they are still inside

Work?"

He pressed against the courtyard wall of the shop and heard the clanging sound coming from inside, and the voices of the Qi family's father and son were mixed in -

"Dad, the support for the beams is ready, let's put up the tiles?"

"What a hurry, can't you see that someone just died in this place? We need to drive away the yin energy first."

Sure enough, the Qi family father and son are not ordinary people either... Zhou Shi secretly smacked his tongue and wanted to see what kind of methods they used, only to find that there was no light at all in the shop.

"Dad, let's light the lamp, it's so dark..."

"Bah! Look at your aggressiveness. How many times have I told your father that the skills passed down from our ancestors cannot be seen by others! If you think they are bad, just polish the tricks and get to work!"

Hey, it’s so expensive that you can’t even look at it? But it’s not a problem for Zhou Shi. As his thoughts turned, the Yin Soldier tree floated beside him, and he used his special sense as an elf to peer into the shop.

"They placed a jar of pure water in the four corners of the house, with a piece of talisman and a piece of incense floating on it——"

"Dust dust off and welcome new guests——"

A shout came from the shop, and the four walls of the entire building trembled slightly, making Zhou Shi take half a step back in fright.

Dashu hurriedly explained: "The dust in the store has really fallen down... No, no, no, not only that, the dust also formed a whirlwind of its own and rolled out of the door!"

"The bricks are tightly jointed and decorated with new decoration——"

The big tree added: "The bricks on the ground moved by themselves and stuck to the ground and wall!"

This method is really convenient. No wonder the father and son don't want help... Zhou Shi thought to himself that this method is very similar to the "work door" in the outer door described by Mr. Mo...

"Flying beams and slanting tiles, bearing the rain and dew from the sky——"

"The tiles are flying too. I arranged them one by one on the room! Shopkeeper, this store seems to have been decorated!"

Sure enough, the son of the Qi family in the shop said:

"Dad, the interior and exterior decoration is finished, can we take it over?"

"Urgent, since it's the job that Jin Sansao asked, let's give him some wealth. Boy, please ask the ancestor to open the "Gongshu Book"!"

"Gongshu Book"! Zhou Shi was shocked. He knew that Gongshu was an ancient sage who was regarded as the founder of Gongshu. Something named after him must be very powerful.

"Congratulations, three congratulations. A tall building rises from the ground. In the past, it was built by the public. It started in the day and good night..."

As the father and son of the Qi family recited the mantra together, Zhou Shi's eyebrows tingled. He couldn't help but use the art of looking at the qi, and found that the direction of the flow of yin and yang around the shop had strange changes, and the periphery of the shop was also surrounded by a qi.

A faint yellow atmosphere envelopes the world.

"Calling to the master, reach out to open the door of wealth, open the door with your left hand to receive the jewelry, open the door with your right hand to hold the gold, open both left and right at the same time, and roll the big gold through the door!"

The yellow aura quickly dissipated as the formula ended, but the flow of yin and yang energy still followed an abnormal direction.

"What is this..." Zhou Shi frowned slightly and heard the conversation between Qi's father and son inside again, knowing that it was time to withdraw.

If the Qi family and his son discovered that he was eavesdropping, it would be difficult for him to explain that he was doing it unintentionally.

He took back the Yin soldiers, left Yongde Lane and turned into the main road before the Qi family and his son came out.

At this time, his eyebrows stung again, and he couldn't help but look back——

At this glance, he saw something extraordinary.

I saw a few flickering lights flashing overhead in the night.

When he looked closely, he discovered that they were actually several thin lines hanging from the sky, reflecting light in the abnormal flow of yin and yang.

And looking upward, at the end of the thin line is a very abrupt dark cloud,

Not to mention how there is a dark cloud in the clear sky during this frost season, the key lies in the shape of that dark cloud——

Zhou Shi’s hair stood on end.

It was a giant hand with distinctive five fingers, manipulating those thin lines, like a puppeteer hidden in the dark sky.
