"I don't think so." Chen Yueying shot back without hesitation.

"Really?" He Jiaan knew that Chen Yueying was not an easy opponent to deal with, but he didn't expect her to be so difficult to deal with, so he collected himself and said, "What do you think of the mutton skewers you ate today?"

"It's not bad." Chen Yueying said honestly.

"If I sold you the recipe for this thing, how much would you pay?"

"Sell this to me?" Chen Yueying was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

Judging from her trembling delicate body, He Jiaan also knows how much she looks down on herself now. Now that she is a poor and white person, if she wants to live comfortably in Daming, she has to take some measures. The crops that arrived in Daming became He Jiaan's first choice.

And there is only one person who has achieved this goal for himself, and that is Ronaldo.

But it is not an easy task to let him return to Europe and bring those seeds back. 2000 taels of silver is just a rough idea. As for whether it is possible, He Jiaan has not yet considered it.

But judging by Chen Yueying's expression at this time, her thoughts are likely to come to nothing.

Needless to say, after laughing for a while, she felt a lot more relaxed. Chen Yueying looked at He Jiaan with a smile for a while, then opened her mouth lightly and said, "Just a few strings of mutton, you want to sell them for 2000 taels. Do you really think this money is so easy to earn?"

Maybe I was a little impatient and hesitated for a while, He Jiaan took a step back and said: "Otherwise, you can lend me less money first, and then return it to you after I make money. As for the interest... It's easy to say."

He Jiaan's suggestion made Chen Yueying feel a little good, but...

After hesitating for a while, Chen Yueying asked, "Are you trying to make money from these meat skewers?"

"Of course." He Jiaan nodded.

"How about this." Chen Yueying organized the language, and then said: "The Chen family just happened to have a shop that is due, so I will rent it to you first, and I will not charge you for the time being. In addition, I will lend you 100 taels Silver, what do you think?"

This condition is good, but He Jia'an always feels that Chen Yueying should not be such a generous person, and she is borrowing a shop and money. Could it be that she wants to...

Sure enough, He Jiaan didn't even need to speak, Chen Yueying smiled slyly, and then said: "It's just the income of the shop, we two get three to seven, you three and I get seven."

This woman is really too ruthless, she worked hard to make money, she used a shop plus 100 taels to exchange for [-]%, what is the difference between this and robbery?

"No, three to seven points is fine, but it's me seven and you three."

"I am six and you are four."

"Everyone is so familiar, why not take a step back and score five or five."

Xiao Zhao left immediately, at this time He Jiaan felt a little regretful, but unfortunately it was too late to regret it now, fifty-five points is a rule set by himself, as for making money or losing money, it can only be resigned to fate.

Chapter 15 Take a Gamble

There are many things that you don't know if you don't do them. When you start doing them, He Jia'an suddenly realizes that his thinking is too naive.

The crux of the problem is that there are fewer professionals in this era. When everything fell on He Jiaan alone, I couldn't help being dumbfounded. Looking at the dilapidated shop, I didn't know what to do. get started.

"Grandpa, tell me, what should I do next?" The little maid Xiu'er changed into an old dress, held a small rag in her hand, widened her eyes, and moved away.

"Uh..." Yeah, what should she do?

After hesitating for a while, He Jia'an pointed to the dirty shop and said, "Xiu'er, do you know where there is a cleaning service? How about we hire some people to help?"

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Xiu'er replied unhappily. She first looked around the shop, and then habitually turned her head and ordered: "Hey, that so-and-so, bring me a bucket of water."

After she finished speaking, she realized that this foreigner couldn't understand what she said, and the uncle himself was not easy to control, so he blinked and went to fetch water in the backyard by himself.

"What did she just say to me?" At this time, Ronaldo has changed into Ming Dynasty clothes, but he looks a bit nondescript. For him, life is full of freshness every day, but the only thing is not good. It's just that I can't understand what those people are saying, and I and He Jiaan can only communicate in English, and sometimes I have to use a lot of gestures.

"She asked you to help carry water." He Jiaan pointed to the direction of the backyard, Ronaldo immediately understood, and hurriedly chased in the direction where Xiu'er disappeared.

They left, but He Jiaan fell into deliberation. In his opinion, if he wants to live a comfortable life in Daming, he must first have money. Whether it is opening the so-called ocean trade or satisfying his own needs, this Silver is definitely essential.

Pointing to Chen Yueying's 100 taels per month is definitely not enough, so this barbecue shop must make money to be able.

But how can you make money?

Eating barbecue and drinking beer is the most correct way, but the key is that I don't know how to brew beer. Besides, whether the taste of this beer can be accepted by Ming Dynasty people is another matter.

For the time being, I can't think about that much. It would be better to renovate the shop first, but He Jia'an doesn't know what decoration styles people will be doing these days. After thinking about it, he finally came up with a plan.

Remember, there are enough trees in the Ming Dynasty.

In his last life, He Jiaan was more advocating the style that was close to nature. He also fell into a coma during a solo journey. After waking up, he became what he is now, so just thinking a little bit, He Jiaan determined his own Thoughts, just when I was about to record these things, Xiuer suddenly screamed from the direction of the backyard.

"What's wrong?" He Jiaan ran over quickly, and when he rushed to the door, he saw Ronaldo holding a bucket innocently, while Xiu'er stared at him with hatred, but the hem of his clothes was already wet Blockbuster.

"Grandpa, hurry up and drive him away." When Xiu'er saw He Jia'an coming, she seemed to have found a backbone, and hurried over, pointing at Ronaldo and said, "He is so annoying, I can't help it." After saying no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no need, he had to grab my bucket when he got here.”

"Go ahead and grab it, but he doesn't even know how to fetch a bucket of water. You see, he made me wet so much. I'm so stupid." Xiu'er pointed at the corner of her skirt and vented her dissatisfaction. anger.

Uh……

This should be understandable, after all, he is a foreigner, and it is normal for him not to know how to fetch water. He Jiaan looked at the innocent Ronaldo, feeling a little helpless in his heart, and walked over while sighing: "If you don't know how to fetch water, just wait for her." How good it is to bring up the water, it's all right now, I offended people so quickly."

"I didn't expect this thing to be so difficult to use." Ronaldo pointed at the mouth of the well speechlessly.

In fact, it didn't take much effort, He Jia'an taught Ronaldo how to fetch water, and when he brought the water to the shop, Xiu'er still had lingering anger on his face, he snorted heavily, and then started to clean the water by himself Get up the whole shop.

It's not enough to have only one embroiderer to clean the shop, and He Jia'an was a little worried about leaving only one little maid here, so he left Ronaldo behind, asked where the wood was sold, and went out alone.

Chen Yueying didn't lie to herself. The location of this shop is indeed good. It is located on the most prosperous street in Qingjiangpu. The street is crowded with people. No matter how you look at it, you think this is a place where you can make a lot of money.

The place where the wood was sold was a little far away, and He Jia'an didn't call for a car, and walked forward while perfecting the decoration style of the shop in his heart.

When I got to the lumber shop, I had a decision in my heart, and I had a clear idea of ​​what kind of wood I wanted, so I just chose one and went in.

"Hello, guest officer, what kind of wood do you want? I'm not boasting. I have all kinds of wood from all over the world. You..." You just spoke halfway, but suddenly stopped as if someone was choking you.

Why does this voice sound so familiar?He Jiaan was stunned for a moment, staring at the shopkeeper approaching, and when his eyes got used to the light, his eyes suddenly widened, he grabbed the shopkeeper's neckline, and said angrily: "Finally let me catch you!" It's your turn, pay back."

The shopkeeper who sells wood is none other than the rich man who ran away after losing chess, and it was he who handed the hydrangea he received to He Jiaan. If it is true, He Jiaan should thank him at this time. .

The other party obviously didn't expect that he was actually blocked by people in his own shop. Seeing the angry He Jiaan, he quickly smiled and comforted him: "Brother, you see, I can't run away, let's let go of your hands." OK?"

It's not the first time I've heard this nonsense, but this time He Jia'an really let go of his hands, anyway, this is his shop, and he can run away from a monk or a temple.

Thinking about it now, ten pennies is just a trivial matter, but at that time, the ten penny was no different from killing oneself. He Jiaan collected the money, thought for a while, and asked, "I want to buy some money?" Wood, I wonder what kind of wood you have here?"

Chapter 16 Buy One Get One Free

The shopkeeper's surname is Yu, Yu Yancai.

I have to say, even though his chess style is not very good, but the things in the shop are quite complete. After listening to He Jiaan's description, although he didn't quite understand his request, he still took him to the warehouse in the backyard. Pointing to a pile of old materials in the corner of the warehouse, he said: "Only these old materials have not been barked, but brother, you have really thought about it, we have other materials here."

He Jiaan squatted down in front of those old materials, looked at them carefully, and was very satisfied in his heart, but there was a trace of regret on his face, he shook his head and said: "These materials are too thin, so we can't use them at all."
