Chapter 403 Panxia Wooden Shop
When Lu Gu entered the door, he happened to Liang Chuan, who was also there. He forgot the purpose of his trip, stood at the door with uncertainty, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Fang Tianding smiled and said, "Why are you still like a big girl, come in quickly, you should know me, Liangchuan Liangchuanlang, the owner of Wanda Goods Store in Chengtian Lane!"
Lu Gu laughed dryly, stepped in, looked at the table and said, "Oh, I'm still drinking this in broad daylight." He also pulled a chair and sat down.
Liang Chuan also poured him a bowl. Lu Gu was not polite, so he picked it up and raised his head and drank it. Liang Chuan added another bowl.
Lu Gu stopped drinking and said to Liang Chuan: "Sanlang, can you come to supervise this old man today?"
The three of them laughed in unison as if they had a tacit understanding, raised the bowl and touched it, and said in unison: "This bowl has been done together!"
Liang Chuan smiled and said, "Old Fang is a master, with both virtue and art. How dare I, a junior, call me Lao Fang and drink from him? Master Lu, I can't even get busy with your store. Why do you have the leisure to visit Lao Fang?"
Lu Gu looked depressed and his eyes were wandering around Fang Tianding's blacksmith shop, and he felt even more uncomfortable. Their families were all famous time-honored brands in Qingyuan. His Luyi Wood Store was a bit better than the blacksmith shop of Fang Tianding. After all, every carpenter was not open and was more respected. Later, he heard that Fang Tianding was sick and dragged the shop down. He was forced by the rogues of Qingtang and almost had no way to take Fang Wan to beg for food. In just a few months, the situation in the shop was even better than before, and his apprentices had recruited several of them.
After inquiring, I realized that the old man secretly gave the shop to an outsider. The two of them worked together to make a living, and the skills were made more improved than before. This person himself knew Liang Chuan, who came to find him to make a horse stool. He felt even more moved that this old man was so lucky that he had no male or no apprentice, and it would be the most beneficial to cooperate with others.
Fang Tianding has no son, and he is not as good as him without a son. His son is proficient in eating, drinking, gamble, but he knows nothing about this skill. All the apprentices he has wanted to start his own business, and now he is so worried that his hair is almost white.
Lu Gu sighed and said, "Old Fangtou, we are all old, and sooner or later we will abdicate. I envy you. Now I heard that there is a good person who follows you to learn skills every day. Why? Wan'er is also old and you still want to tie him to your side?"
Fang Tianding also recognized Zhao's brother in his heart. He is honest, motivated and willing to do things. The most important thing is to be kind to his daughter. So what else can he choose: "Children and grandchildren are blessed, why should we talk too much? You are here today and this is not for this matter. It just so happens that Sanlang is here too, so I will just tell you. It's hard to speak up and I'll help you."
Liang Chuan was stunned. Why did he talk about this matter? He asked, "Why, what's wrong with me?"
Lu Gu wanted to speak but stopped because of his face. Fang Tianding laughed and relieved him: "Sanlang, Lao Lu is not young like me, his energy is not as good as one year. His unfilial son is also very angry. The property he has saved for decades is almost in trouble. Now he wants to sell the store and search for it for a long time but he has no suitable next home. He is always in love with me, so I didn't talk much. I just talked about our previous situation and Lao Lu became mindful."
Liang Chuan sifted another batch of wine and said, "Don't stop the wine, let's go for a while." The three of them drank another bowl of wine. Fortunately, the yellow wine is sweet and sweet, but it is not like the strong wine. It's a bit like drinking a drink. "I understand. Master Lu means that he wants me to take this Luyi Carpenter's Shop?"
Lu Gu couldn't say it. This shop had been passed down for several generations. If his son hadn't been really a bastard, he wouldn't have dared to act without his courage. Fang Tianding said, "That's it."
Liang Chuan picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, ate it, but he didn't say anything. The two of them looked at Liang Chuan without saying anything, and their hearts were hanged.
Fang Tianding was also anxious about Lu Gu's urgentness and asked, "Sanlang, what's your intention? Even if you say that this kind of thing is only based on fate, we won't force it. If we can't agree, we can't hurt our kindness. Do you think it's Lao Lu?"
Lu Gu nodded like a chicken, waiting for Liang Chuan to express his opinion.
Liang Chuan took another sip of wine after a piece of meat and said, "Master Lu, are you giving me the store. Are you planning to retire and return to your hometown to retire?"
Lu Gu thought it was naturally the case. If he hadn't been able to do this well-made perjury, he would let go if he said he would go. He thought Liang Chuan might have other considerations, so he asked, "Sanlang, do you have other ideas?"
Liang Chuan said: "I'm afraid my store can't be managed even if it is sold. Lao Fang still has half of his shares. He has craftsmanship and I have a market. We can only kill two birds with one stone. Your carpenter skills are not as casual as the blacksmith's skills. It's all up to you to support the storefront. What's the use of giving me an empty store? I can't recruit apprentices or make it."
Fang Tianding thought, this is true. He just wanted to be a good person but didn't consider these details much. Liang Chuan was indeed not an ordinary person who thought so thoughtfully just by just this bowl of wine.
Lu Gu said, "Sanlang, don't worry, I, Lu Gu, have never cheated anyone in my life, I am not afraid of you laughing when I say it. The only thing I am sorry for is my daughter. I didn't let him get married, but I was afraid that my skills would be ruined by my son, so I called a son-in-law, and he would be the one in charge of the store from now on."
Fang Tianding was surprised when he heard this, "I didn't think about finding a man to marry into Wan'er, but this kind of person is either lazy or desperate. If you want to choose a good one among these people, it is much more difficult than marrying a good family."
Lu Gu's expression was much better when he talked about this, and said, "If you want to say that God is endless, the craftsmanship of our Lu family really made me meet one. Two years ago, on the winter solstice, a young man fainted from hunger at the door of my store. It was too cold that day, and I was afraid that he would freeze to death at my door. So he kindly gave him a bowl of rice and clothes. He said he could not eat my food and clothing for free, but he had no money on his body, so he stayed to help me pay off the debt. Seeing that this man was strong and decent, he accepted him as his apprentice. Later, I asked about his family background, and he was the only one in the family. I observed that he was a good baby for a long time before I started thinking about this."
Fang Tianding said this and he was jealous. He just had no children. Then he thought about recruiting a son-in-law to come to his house, but he didn't have such a life to encounter such a good young man.
Lu Gu became more and more excited as he spoke: "It's only been two years. I've learned almost all the skills. I have a few apprentices who have made such a fortune. The key is that this son-in-law doesn't like to show off and keeps his head down and is a human being. Even my stupid son doesn't know that his brother-in-law's skills are above him."
Liang Chuan asked, "If you don't give your son to your son, you're asking your son-in-law to take on the blame. Are you not afraid that your own son will not come to cause trouble?"
When he talked about this, his son Lu Gu would blew his beard and stare at him. If he asked him to squander, he would have to run away. He still had the face to make trouble, unless he wanted to help him prepare for his funeral in advance.
"So this is how I think about this. I asked my son-in-law to work with you. He will give you a skill to store your store. He will tell the public that you are the owner of this store, and we will share the money. If my son knows that this store, I have already sold it to you. I don't have the courage to come to your store to make trouble. I will give my son the money for the store and let him go to the countryside and open a small carpenter shop. This is not considered a bad treatment for him."
When Liang Chuan thought that this method was feasible, he asked again: "If you buy my store, what if you leave your son-in-law and regret it after you go back to your feet?"
Lu Gu was stunned for a moment and said, "If he abandons you, we will make a contract now. After he leaves, you can go to the government to complain to me to cheat you. You don't have to go to court. As long as you inform me of this, I will return all the money to you. Lao Fang and I are old friends who have been with me for many years. I want to believe my character, he should understand. You can also ask Qingyuan County. As long as someone says I have a bad word Lu Gu, I will pretend that I didn't say this today!"
Liang Chuan smiled and said, "Master Lu, you are so serious. Bi Zhaosheng, then I often hear him say good things about you, otherwise he wouldn't introduce me to your stool, right? In this way, we should make a contract to avoid getting hurt in the future, but the most important thing is how to negotiate the price."
Lu Gu said: "My store only needs to be paid for now. It still has more than 100 guan per month. In summer and autumn, it is more than this number, so I bid 1,000 guan. This number of people can be recovered in less than a year, which is not considered as taking advantage of you."
One thousand guan, Liang Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly. If he had to think about it before, the number is as simple as scattering water. What he is more concerned about is whether this carpenter shop is really as profitable as he said. If he can only earn fifty guan a month after trading, then he will have to share 50% with his son-in-law, and how many years will he make a profit?
Fang Tianding was also shocked. He had to forget about Liang Chuan's 300 guan at the time, but Liang Chuan Renyi directly sold it as blackmailed by Qingyuantang. Although the old Lutou store was more valuable than his store, it would have to take out a thousand guan at once. Isn't it a bit too much?
"Lao Lu, can't you bargain?"
Lu Gu knew that Fang Tianding had helped him enough today, so he hesitated and said, "If you think this is 800 coins, Sanlang, if you think it's right, we'll sign it right away. It doesn't matter if you don't sign it. I'll find the next one after leaving this door."
After a 20% discount, Liang Chuan thought he wouldn't lose much, so he smiled and said, "I have to let me see your son-in-law, right?"
