Chapter 7 Storefront

When Tao Jin woke up, it was already a little dawn. He stood up and rubbed his muscles that were a little sore because he slept on the table all night, while looking around. Unlike yesterday, he was surprised to meet Yuchi Gong and didn't care about other rough sweeping, but looked at it carefully.

As Tao Jin's first pot of gold in the Tang Dynasty, he actually paid attention to this store. Yuchi Gong, who slept under the window beside the table, woke up when Tao Jin started his first move. He did not move, squinted his eyes and looked at Tao Jin's actions. The person he just met, even if he said he was a businessman, still did not trust him.

Tao Jin naturally didn't know that Yuchi Gong had woken up. At this time, he was thinking: How to turn this dilapidated wine shop into money. After carefully checking all the rooms in the wine shop, Tao Jin felt the idea.

Although the wine-making items in this wine shop are still there, and the store is not small, and there are two rooms at the back that can be used for residential use, the things are really dilapidated and there are very few things to use.

Tao Jin made a budget for the business he wanted to do in his heart. After all, to do business, you have to invest first. No one can help him, including the Yuchi Gong who almost fainted when he excited. Tao Jin understood that only by having the strength can the Yuchi Gong, whose eyes were on his head, look at him with a direct eye, and he could turn him into his backer.

You have to give your back first and show your strength first so that others can value you and become your support. Because just like choosing cooperation, you always have to choose one that makes you profitable. Should you choose one that will drag you down?

Tao Jin was well aware of this principle, so he had to make achievements first. Although he didn't know what the price of the Tang Dynasty was like, Tao Jin also understood that it was a delusion to do this business just by relying on the two taels of silver on him.

In fact, Tao Jin had plans on the way out of Tao Mansion. He thought that although he didn't have any money, he could keep the restaurant that Erniang gave him, which was the broken restaurant as the base camp, and then sell another store to start his own business.

But when he saw this restaurant, he actually had a new idea: that is, compare the shops on both sides and choose one to sell them. However, this idea was broken by the appearance of Yuchi Gong. Tao Jin knew that if he sold the restaurant himself, Yuchi Gong would not follow him to another store. After all, everyone is not close to each other, and they are not close to each other.

In this way, he had only one way to go. Tao Jin muttered and was thinking in his mind. Yuchi Gong was a martial arts practitioner. Although Tao Jin's voice was very small, he still heard it.

Yuchi Gong listened to what Tao Jin said, how much the price is to be determined, how to start advertisements, etc. After listening for a long time, he didn't understand a half sentence. He was a little confused by his quarrel. Finally, he had to open his eyes and said as if he had just woken up, "Early in the morning, what are you muttering about the heavenly book!"

When Tao Jin saw that Yuchi Gong had woken up, he quickly smiled and said, "It's just some business practices of businessmen, and it's not a heavenly book!" It was also an explanation for what Yuchi Gong heard.

"Young master, you are awake. I bought breakfast. Come and have a meal with Brother Yuchi!" Yuanbao, who was not sure where to go, had already entered the house with a steaming breakfast.

Although Yuchi Gong was meticulous, he was a straightforward person. When he saw that he had something to eat, he didn't feel embarrassed. He grabbed a steamed bun and started eating it. Although he felt a little sorry for eating someone else's like this, he thought that he would have the chance to repay him once in the future, and he felt at ease. Since Tao Jin woke up, he has been porridge with steamed buns every day, and now he has been tired of it! Looking at the steamed buns, he couldn't help but miss the fragrant big buns he had made in modern times. After thinking for a while, he looked at the steamed buns in his hand. It became more and more tasteless, but he grabbed a few pieces of food in a very embarrassing way.

Yuanbao was eating while looking at Tao Jin, so he could take care of him at any time. Seeing Tao Jin's expression that was difficult to swallow, he couldn't help feeling guilty and couldn't help saying, "Young Master, Yuanbao is incompetent, let you suffer!"

When Yuchi Gong saw Tao Jin like this, he felt more and more that he was just a young master, and he looked down on him very much.

Tao Jin saw what Yuchi Gong looked at him and did not reveal it. He just said with a little sadness: "It's not that I endure hardship, it's that I feel sorry for you Yuanbao. You came out with me. Not to mention there is no good life, but you still want to endure hardship with me!"

As soon as these sensational words were spoken, Yuanbao's eyes immediately turned red again and he said with emotion: "Young Master, you are so good to Yuanbao, Yuanbao doesn't feel bitter!"

In fact, Tao Jin said this to Yuchi Gong, but if he said that he had eaten enough steamed buns and wanted to eat buns, then Yuchi Gong might not have looked at him. Tao Jin felt that it was very important to establish a good image of Yuchi Gong in his heart, which would directly affect his future, so he deviated.

Sure enough, after saying this, Yuchi Gong's ugly face slowed down a little. After breakfast, Tao Jin said to Yuanbao: "Today, let's go to see the store in the south of the city!" After that, he looked at Yuchi Gong and bowed and asked: "Brother Yuchi, are you interested in going with you?"

There was the leisurely intention in Yuchi Gong to care about him, shook his head, and still leaned against the window and started to sleep.

Seeing this, Tao Jin didn't force himself. He just took Yuanbao out and walked out for a while before he asked Yuanbao: "What are the prices now?" This question Tao Jin has always been very concerned about.

"Price? Yuanbao has never heard of this word!" Yuanbao said in surprise. When Tao Jin heard this, he patted his head and said, "It's just me, how much is left in the two taels of silver I gave you?"

Tao Jin heard that Yuanbao didn't know what the price was, so he only evaluated the value of his two taels of silver, so he asked.

Yuanbao sighed after hearing Tao Jin's question, and said, "Now, there are only two hundred copper coins left!"

"Two hundred coins, how much can one tael of silver be exchanged?" Tao Jin was also secretly shocked when he heard this. There were only two hundred copper coins left for two taels of silver, and Yuanbao could not be greedy for him. Could it be that the price of the Tang Dynasty was also ridiculously high? He asked hurriedly.

"Now one tael of silver can be exchanged for one thousand big money, but this big money is not valuable. It costs more than one thousand big money per bucket of rice or a liter of noodles!" Yuanbao said in a muffled voice.

"It's so expensive?" Tao Jin sighed and thought to himself: If he directly does business in a wine shop, he will inevitably use rice. Now that rice is so expensive, it seems that it is not suitable for the time being. He couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Although Yuanbao didn't know what Tao Jin was angry, he also knew that when Tao Jin left the Tao family, he had no money, only the two taels of silver. He thought he was worried about the money, so he said, "Young Master, Yuanbao has been in the Tao family for many years and has accumulated about twenty taels of silver!"

After hearing Yuanbao's words, Tao Jin smiled and felt a lot warmer. Since ancient times, it has been easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to provide timely help. Now that he is in such a situation, Yuanbao is willing to take out his savings around him. How can Tao Jin not be moved? To Yuanbao, Tao Jin really has a bit of feelings for brothers in distress.

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the south of the city. Yuanbao pointed to one of the stores and said, "Young Master, this is this store!"

Tao Jin looked over and saw that there was a clean rouge shop in front of him. It was something that women used. The second mother was really cruel and used some unprofitable business to fool herself. It was really the heart of the stepmother, the needle of the poisonous scorpion!

Although the store looks pretty good, it’s a pity that it’s a rouge shop. If it’s not decided today, it’s fine for the rich; if there are a few poor people who can spend money on their daughter’s house, it can be seen that the business will definitely be light.

As expected, Tao Jin stood by and watched for a long time, but no one came in. He sighed and Tao Jin led Yuanbao into the shop.

Looking at the store, an old man was there. When he saw Tao Jin and Yuanbao coming in, he didn't say hello, and he was still dozing on the counter. Tao Jin knocked on the counter and said, "Wake up, collect the shop!" The old man opened his eyes, wiped the eye poop on his eyes, squinted at Tao Jin, and then said, "Oh! Since he is here, please take out the land deed!" Obviously, he had already received the news, and was not surprised to see Tao Jin coming, but just asked Tao Jin to take out the land deed from the store.

The old man carefully checked the land deed. The old face, which was as old as a pecan, burst into a smile and said, "So, Mr. Tao will be the master here in the future?"

Tao Jin nodded and said, "That's right!" Seeing Tao Jin nodding, the old man pulled out a not-so-large wooden abacus from the pile of rouge on the counter, and beat Pilibala, then looked at Tao Jin and said, "In this way, please give me my three-month wages, a total of four or three cents of silver!"

As soon as I took over the store, someone asked for money. Tao Jin understood that this was a trip to him. He looked at the old man and smiled faintly and said, "You can give money, but I want to know what the algorithm is for this four or three coins of silver? After all, if you calculate it according to monthly silver, why are these four or three coins of silver not even in three months?"

Before Tao Jin came, the old man had already been warned by his second wife to ask him to repair Tao Jin. The old man was greedy and thought that as long as he was disgusting Tao Jin, he came up with such a way to extort money, but he was afraid that the amount would be too large and Tao Jin would not follow it, so he just said such a number. As for the plan, it was just a show.

But the old man never expected that Tao Jin would ask such a question. He was speechless for a while and said with a blushing face for a long time: "My monthly monthly money is one tael of silver, and some of the rouge is made by me. If I sell it, I should have my money!"

"In this way, the business in this store should be good. It can actually be as good as last month's silver money for making rouge!" Tao Jin said unintentionally.

The old man swallowed, thinking that Tao Jin was just a playboy and should not know anything. He just said something about money and he passed by. Unexpectedly, he seemed to think of something.

The lies were a little too late, so the old man simply acted like a scoundrel, stood at the door and shouted, "It's unreasonable, I've cheated on me for an old man's wages. How can you let me survive?" While shouting, he sat on the ground without regard for his dignity and howled.

Typically, Tao Jin gave the old man a position, but he was also quite troubled. More and more people around him were surrounded, and he was probably saying: The world is not good now, how can he look like this?

Tao Jin was annoyed by the crowd and couldn't help but be furious and shouted, "Since you are so wronged, it's better to be a civil servant!" As soon as this said, the old man immediately stopped and whispered, "I am a poor family, where can I dare to be a civil servant. Young master, you are a rich man. It's better to be a good person and give me two taels of silver!" He looked like he was compromising.
