New store 131 grand opening

  After sending Zhang back home, Zhen Ming brought Yang Zhuang to a large store in the northern part of the city that was under renovation and stopped the car at the entrance.

  As soon as they entered the store, a group of carpenters surrounded them, greeting Zhen Ming bitterly. They were all old acquaintances of Fei Long's, and Zhen Ming had given them two taels of silver per month to help with the renovation. For them, this kind of pay was several times higher than doing hard labor on any large dock, and the work was much easier too.

  "Whose store is this?"

  Yang Dang followed Zhen Ming into the dusty and chaotic shop, where the air was filled with the smell of dust and wood shavings. Yang Dang covered his nose and frowned, asking...

  "Your sister Zhang."

  Yang Cong's eyes lit up, and his disgusted expression changed. He put down the hand covering his nose and looked around with great interest.

  Here is a wooden building of about 200 square meters, with three floors in total. More than ten workers are busy in the shop, including woodworkers, carpenters and carvers, who are making display racks and decorations for the shop with various types of wood.

  "This store has a great location and should be worth a lot of money. Where did Sister Zhang get so much cash?"

  "Who said that they want to buy it? Your sister Zhang only rented the first floor for a year, and after renovation, she can open for business."

  "What are you selling?"

  Dim Sum Snacks.

  "Is it the same Portuguese egg tart you gave me last time?"

  Zhen Ming said with a bitter smile: "That's just one of the desserts, what about fried potato sticks, fried chicken wings, roasted chicken wings, medicinal steamed dishes, pan-fried tofu, fragrant soy milk, milk tea and so on? With your sister Zhang's tofu western-style signature dish, I guarantee that within a month this store will be famous throughout Luoyang. At that time, opening a dozen or more branches, expanding out of Luoyang, and going national is not impossible. How about it, are you interested in investing?"

  "What stock is going in?"

  "It's an investment, make a profit and give you dividends. One thousand two silver coins, conservatively estimated that after two years you can get your capital back, and then every year you can get corresponding dividends, one year more generous than the previous one."

  "I'm not interested in making money, I asked you, Zhang sister's house was demolished, where does she live?" Yang Teng obviously had no interest in making money at all, he only cared about where to find his Zhang sister next.

  "Living in my house, what's wrong?"

  Yang Tong stared at him, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes: "Why did she want to live in your house?"

  "Who knows if her husband has mortgaged their home to someone, she has nowhere to go, is she supposed to sleep on the streets?"

  Yang Zong was taken aback, and Zhen Ming's enthusiasm wrapped around his shoulders: "It seems you really want to think for your sister Zhang, I happen to have a way to let her not have to live in my house again."

  Yang Cong heard this and looked suspicious: "Tell me more."

  ……

  Zhen Ming was miserable and as soon as he returned home, he pulled Zhang Shi into a room.

  Watching Zhen Ming shut the door with a mysterious and solemn expression, Zhang's tension was evident.

  Xing'er and Huan'er had both gone out, Sun Langzhong had also gone to the yamen to handle the procedures for opening a shop, only she and Zhen Mingshu were left at home.

  She didn't know what Zhen Ming was going to do, and based on his past behavior, she was now a little afraid of being alone with him.

  Zhen Ming Ku turned around and walked to her side, she retreated a few steps back, Zhen Ming Ku forced her into the corner of the wall, only then did he stop in his tracks, from his bosom he pulled out a yellowed and old piece of leather, stuffed it into her hand.

  She looked down and saw that what had been pressed into her hand was a deed with an official seal, the house indicated on the deed being the very one she was currently living in. Although it wasn't a large house, it was worth at least 100 taels of silver.

  Zhen Ming's bitter face was pressed close to hers, staring at her intensely.

  As she lifted her head, her lips almost touched his, he must have done it on purpose, his face was only a few centimeters away from hers.

  She pressed her hands against his chest, preventing further contact, and looked up at him with a hint of distress in her eyes. Ever since that scoundrel had stolen a kiss from her in the room at Yichuan Inn that day, he had been taking advantage of her in this way, doing it so naturally that she didn't even have a chance to refuse.

  Zhen Ming was bitter but did not take any further action, only asking: "There's a saying in our hometown, I don't know if you've heard it or not?"

  Zhang looked up at him.

  "Many lice don't itch, many debts don't worry."

  She smiled, as charming and captivating as a snow lotus blooming.

  Zhen Ming smiled wryly: "Anyway, you already owe me so much, it doesn't matter if you owe a bit more. With this house deed, from now on, this house is yours. You don't have to feel like you're living off someone else's charity anymore. This is your home, and I'm the tenant. Whenever you want me to pack up and leave, that's when I'll pack up and leave."

  Zhang smiled and curiously asked: "Where did you get so much silver? Didn't your silver go to renting a shop, buying materials, and hiring workers for decoration?"

  Zhen Ming smiled mysteriously and whispered a few words in her ear, taking advantage of Zhang Shi's momentary stunned state to lightly kiss her lips. By the time Zhang Shi reacted, he had already walked out the door, leaving her standing there dazed, her face burning like fire.

  She is now thinking in her mind, all about how to drive this rascal out of the house.

  ……

  A few hundred meters away from the most prosperous Hong Xing Inn in Luoyang, a store with a unique decoration style that is out of place with its surroundings has grandly opened.

  A crowd of onlookers gathered at the entrance, pointing and commenting on the store, with bursts of laughter erupting from time to time.

  The windows and sign of the store were all covered with a red silk cloth, so you couldn't see what was being sold inside or even know the name of the store.

  A big, fluffy bear stood at the entrance of the store, performing strange movements with its hands and feet, handing out flyers to people around it, looking silly and making many children clap their hands and laugh.

  The big bear walked forward and hugged the little kid, playing and having fun together.

  Next to the big bear, there was a cute and listless little white rabbit. The big bear saw it motionless, pounced on it with its teeth and claws open, and the little white rabbit reluctantly hopped up with an air of reluctance.

  Two strange and interesting animals attracted more and more people gathering at the door of the shop.

  An old man squeezed through the crowd, curiously glanced at the two fluffy animals at the store entrance, turned his head and asked the person next to him: "Is this a new store? What does this store sell anyway? I've never seen such an interesting opening ceremony before."

  The people around him laughed and said: "I guess they are selling high-end fur materials, their clothes are all made of bear skin and rabbit skin."

  The old man said with a look of envy: "The rent for this location is not cheap, if you don't sell some jewelry, antiques and the like, it's a waste. If I had a store in this location, selling my daughter-in-law's soy milk would definitely make a lot of money."
