"Ah?" Shopkeeper Niu was a little stunned. He didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned this again when he was talking about bandits just now.
"Oh! It's for rent!" Shopkeeper Niu came back to his senses and glanced at Gu Chengyu strangely.
"Shopkeeper Niu can't make much money here in a year, right? Especially the alley behind this inn, I'm afraid it's blocking a lot of business!"
Shopkeeper Niu blushed when he told Gu Chengyu that the inn he stayed in was very important when he came to take the exam. The most important thing was to keep it clean! But if there were so many beauties living in the alley behind, looking at them with the window open every day, even a man would
I can't stand it. As time goes by, people spread the word from ten to ten, and people don't like coming here anymore. Of course, they may not dare to come here anymore!
His inn is actually not big, with only five upper rooms, and the others are medium-sized rooms, lower rooms, and bunk beds. The money charged for these is small, and the location is a bit remote, not close to the Gongyuan or the dock. Naturally,
Business is deserted!
"So don't be angry, Shopkeeper Niu! Is it just that Shopkeeper Niu is willing to live in this place for the rest of his life?" In fact, Gu Chengyu saw that Shopkeeper Niu was quite smooth in doing business, and he was not an unprincipled person. He still wanted to open a restaurant in Fucheng, so he might as well let Niu
When the shopkeeper does things for him, he just gives him more money.
"What do you mean, young master?" Shopkeeper Niu's eyes widened. Could it be what he meant?
"Of course I want to ask Shopkeeper Niu to work for me. I want to open a restaurant, but I still need a shopkeeper. I wonder if Shopkeeper Niu would be happy with it?" Although Gu Chengyu doesn't know much about Shopkeeper Niu's nature at the moment, restaurants always hire separate accountants.
, what he is interested in is the ability of the boss Niu.
"Are you serious?" Shopkeeper Niu felt a little unbelievable. In fact, his restaurant can earn two hundred taels of silver a year, excluding the rent. It is enough for a family of three, and he does not need to be controlled by anyone here.
, but when he arrived at Gu Chengyu's place, he was just a worker, so he hesitated!
"Shopkeeper Niu, don't be in a hurry to reply to me! I will stay in Fucheng for a few days. When I leave, it will be too late for you to reply!" Gu Chengyu had already expected that Shopkeeper Niu would hesitate. After all, he has changed from being his own boss to working for someone else.
, if it were given to someone, they wouldn’t even consider it.
"Then I'm really sorry! I have to think about it!"
"The bandits' matter has to do with Shopkeeper Lao Niu. I'm just a human being and I don't want to get involved in this matter! Just return to Magistrate Jiang truthfully. I'll excuse you first!" After Gu Chengyu finished speaking, he got up and went upstairs!
Of course he is happy to get a talented person, but if he is not willing to do so, he cannot force it. If he does not want to give him a big pie, it depends on what Shopkeeper Niu chooses!
Shopkeeper Niu looked at Gu Chengyu's back as he walked up the stairs. This young man had an extraordinary bearing. However, looking at the classmates around him, none of them were young men from wealthy families. It was expected that they were not young men from aristocratic families. However, it was true that the family was not short of money, but he
I don’t know if I will have a future by following Mr. Gu.
Shopkeeper Niu looked up at the inn. Did he really want to stay here for the rest of his life? He was extremely hesitant, but finally decided to inquire more about it before making a plan!
Gu Chengyu was sitting in the examination booth No. 8, looking at the test paper in front of him. This was the second test, and the main test was essays. Essays were very similar to modern prose, but they were written in classical Chinese.
There is no format requirement in the examination paper here, only a landscape essay is required.
Gu Chengyu thought for a while and wrote the beginning on the draft paper, "Walking a hundred and twenty steps west from Xiaoqiu, across a bamboo forest, hear the sound of water, like a jade ring, and feel happy about it."
I made revisions so that I could finish the entire essay by the afternoon.
After reading it and polishing it a little, I copied it onto the test paper.
This time, Gu Chengyu did not wait for anyone to hand in the paper first. He was the first to pull the bell, while the candidates in the row opposite were still thinking hard!
Gu Chengyu walked out of the Gongyuan and saw Ming Mo and Gu Wanqian standing outside.
"Young Master came out so early?" Ming Mo was a little surprised that Gu Chengyu came out so soon. He thought he would have to wait at least half an hour.
There is no need to wait for the government examination to be scheduled. Once you have finished writing, you only need to hand in the test paper and you can go out!
Gu Chengyu glanced at Gu Wanqian and saw a happy face on his face, guessing that the matter was done!
"Uncle! This matter is done!" Gu Wanqian's voice was brisk, which was the joy radiating from his heart.
"Go back to the inn and talk!" Gu Chengyu glanced at his family members who were waiting for the candidates to come out at the gate of Gongyuan, and raised his hand to stop Gu Wanqian from continuing. If something happened to the bandits, it's better to be cautious and be careful when sailing the boat.
!
Gu Wanqian was stunned, and then immediately responded: "Hey!"
Gu Chengyu found a secluded place and waited for more than an hour before a few people gathered together. This time Gu Wanhua didn't say anything wrong. He could write essays, but it didn't matter whether the writing was good or bad.
standard answer.
"Sir! The owner of the restaurant agreed to take away two hundred taels of silver, which is the lowest price. As for the small shop, the owner only agreed to take away thirty taels of silver. This was the final price I negotiated." Gu Wanqian said once.
When they arrived at the inn, they told Gu Chengyu the final price in his room.
He looked at Gu Chengyu nervously, and that was all he could talk about. When he first went to the dental shop to take him there, the owners didn't even look at him, but after all his good words, he added
It is revealed with emotion, and moved with reason.
Finally, they came up with their trump card and said that if they didn't sell it and the young master wouldn't buy it, they would go back after taking the exam in the next two days. By then, their shop might not be able to sell for such a price! Only then did the owner make a concession.
, it was probably because Ming Mo was so eager that they thought they had to buy it.
"Well! The price is reasonable. You and I will go take a look tomorrow and buy it as soon as possible!" Gu Chengyu took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Gu Wanqian.
"Take it! Go back and buy some good milk for you to replenish your body!" Of course Gu Chengyu will give the promised reward!
Gu Wanqian didn't refuse, he needed the money and the medicine.
There was no talking all night, and it was time for the crime to happen tomorrow.
"Sir! You are the first one this time!" Ming Mo ran over happily, ignoring the messy bun, and said to Gu Chengyu.
"Hey? You can't just look at uncle's! What about ours? But it passed? Oh! No! I'll squeeze in and have a look myself!" Gu Wanhua saw that Ming Mo squeezed out as soon as he entered, so he expected that he must not have looked at it.
He didn't know if he could pass this time if he reached their ranking. He remembered pushing his way into the crowd.
"Oops! Master Hua! I forgot, I'll squeeze in and have a look." After Ming Mo finished speaking, he squeezed in again.
Gu Wanhua didn't know kung fu, and he only entered later and squeezed in. How could he squeeze in so easily? No, after a while, he was squeezed out by the crowd.
"Just stay here with peace of mind! Mingmo will help you see clearly." Gu Chengyu held down Gu Wanhua who still wanted to squeeze, and said to several people.
"Chengyu! You're so awesome, you're actually number one again!" Ye Zhiqiu has always admired Gu Chengyu. Being able to always stand first or second really makes him jealous, but he can't.
