Chapter 299: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 27
After listening to this, Gu Yong calculated silently in his mind and felt that this price was relatively fair.
The price has indeed dropped by a few taels compared to when he asked two days ago, which shows that he is very sincere.
He turned to look at Li Xiuqin and saw that she nodded slightly in agreement.
So he immediately decided to buy the shop.
"Since Uncle Liu is so straightforward, I have nothing to worry about. Let's make it eighty taels!"
"Okay, that's great!" Uncle Liu didn't expect the matter to be resolved so smoothly. He was so happy that he laughed out loud.
Afterwards, several people went together to handle various procedures, and finally, the store successfully became Gu Yong's asset.
After the formalities were completed, on the way back, Uncle Liu said, "Because you came so suddenly, your Aunt Liu and I haven't packed our things yet, so how about letting us stay overnight tonight?"
"Of course you can, but the things we brought need to be placed in the store."
"Don't worry, we won't touch your things. When you come over tomorrow, I'll give you the keys and we'll leave."
"Okay, Uncle Liu, I'm relieved. Xiuqin and I will go in, put our things down and leave."
"Hey, okay. By the way, Lao Liu, I have another question. I wonder if I should ask it or not?"
"Uncle Liu, just say it directly."
"Then I'll take the liberty of asking."
"Old Liu, I've been out there for so many years. I can't say that I can judge a person exactly, but I can tell a general idea. You and your wife are from a nearby village, right? Why do you want to buy a shop in the county?" Uncle Liu asked this question meaningfully.
It's no wonder that Old Liu asked this question. It was because Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin didn't look like they had a lot of money. Although he initially tried not to look down on others, he also carefully introduced the situation of the store.
But deep down he felt that Gu Yong couldn't afford it.
But today, when he saw him directly take out a silver note for one hundred taels, he realized that he might have really made a mistake.
But although the world today is not that difficult, there are still cases of stealing, burning, killing and looting, and he inevitably suspects that the money may have come from an illegal source.
At first, he wanted to ask several questions, but was either interrupted or the topic was changed.
He really didn't want to wait for the next buyer, so he agreed to sell it.
Now that the matter has been settled, it doesn't matter if I ask, so I'll just satisfy my curiosity.
Hearing this question, Gu Yong looked at Uncle Liu with some surprise, and then exchanged glances with Li Xiuqin.
He didn't expect Uncle Liu to ask this, but fortunately they had thought about how to answer it at the beginning.
"Since you asked, I won't hide it from you, so you don't have to worry. Some time ago, we went up the mountain and happened to come across a ginseng plant. It is said that it is several decades old. It is because of this ginseng that I have the money to buy a shop."
"Ginseng? It's a very precious thing! You are so lucky!" Old Liu exclaimed.
He thought of many possibilities, but never expected this answer.
"Yeah, Xiuqin and I never thought that such a small thing could be worth a shop!"
"Why don't you keep it? If you get sick someday, you won't be in a panic!"
"People say that ginseng needs special preservation. How can we do that? Don't let us lose both the money and the ginseng."
"That's right, precious things have precious ways of living. People like us probably can't even afford a good old ginseng."
Uncle Liu sighed and said, "You guys are really brave. You're using all this money to buy a shop. Aren't you afraid of losing money?"
"Life is so long, can you rely on those few dozen taels of silver to make a living? You still need to have the ability to make a living. Besides, I also want to leave the village and take a look, and let my children come out as well.
"Well! That's a good point!" Uncle Liu agreed strongly. He really didn't realize that Gu Yong was such a visionary and courageous person.
It seems that I still made a mistake.
"Old Liu, I admire you!"
Gu Yong smiled embarrassedly: "Uncle Liu, you are joking. This is just our beautiful idea. Whether it can be realized is another matter!"
"Yes, definitely! Old Liu, let me tell you, Gu Yong, you will definitely succeed!"
"Then thank you for Uncle Liu's words!"
"You're welcome. By the way, if you're not in a hurry to go back now, let me tell you about the things you need to pay attention to when opening a bun shop. I've learned a lot from running a bun shop over the years, and there are many tricks involved!"
Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin nodded quickly. It was great to have Uncle Liu teaching them.
"Don't worry, don't worry. Please explain it to us. We are not familiar with it!"
In the following time, Lao Liu explained to them in detail the entire process and the small details that needed attention.
He even told Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin where it would be better and more cost-effective to buy meat, vegetables and flour.
The two of them were like sponges wandering in the sea of knowledge, constantly absorbing.
"That's about it. I've told you everything I should say, but you'll have to do it to know the details."
"Thank you, Uncle Liu. Xiuqin and I are so lucky to have met you!"
"It's fate, it's all fate!"
"Okay, it's really late now. It will probably take you some time to go back. Go back early!"
Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin nodded in agreement. They went outside to unload the things on the cart and placed it in a corner of the yard. After saying hello to Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, they pushed the cart home.
On the way home, Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin agreed to move from the village to the shop tomorrow.
So after returning home, they heated up the buns they had made in the morning, ate a few bites, and then hurried to pack up.
Only Gu Qian was sitting at the table, swinging her short legs and slowly savoring the delicious buns.
The good thing about being young is that you don’t have to do anything and people will still praise you for being cute.
After eating the buns, Gu Qian washed up and went to bed.
After today, she finally realized that she had to go to bed early and get up early, otherwise she would have to make her parents tired and lift even heavier things.
The next morning, they set out again.
This time, they took all the silver bills and jewelry with them. They did not take all the cloth, but took a few pieces of coarse cloth for work.
When they arrived in Wu County, they went straight to the shop.
Originally Gu Yong was worried that Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu might not be able to get up at all, but later when he arrived he found that they were very energetic.
"Are you here? That's great, we've packed everything." Old Liu rummaged through his pockets before finally taking out the key.
"Here, this is the key to the shop. If you are not satisfied or worried about the lock here, you can change it yourself."
"Okay, I understand Uncle Liu."
Gu Yong took the key and saw that they seemed to have a lot of things. He hurriedly said again: "Uncle Liu, let me take you there."
As he spoke, he picked up the things on the ground and walked out.
"No, no... Oh, okay, okay, thank you very much." Uncle Liu was going to stop him, but when he saw Gu Yong walk out without looking back, he could only acquiesce.
