Yongping County, Fengyang Street.
Xu Ning's shop opened today. The plaque was ready yesterday and has been hung up now. It simply says "Xu Ji".
Not too many bells and whistles, no need for it.
The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and what I bring is the industrialized product of modern society. Even if it does not pass the publicity, as long as you come to buy it once, you will definitely come back for a second time.
"Good morning, boss."
At the door of the shop, three women and one man recruited yesterday were already waiting outside. When they saw Xu Ning arriving, they hurriedly bowed and saluted, with a look of respect on their faces.
Xu Ning nodded, opened the shop and went in. The things inside had been neatly arranged yesterday. Xu Ning took out the price, which he had written last night, and asked four people to post the price.
Toothbrush 300 Wen, toothpaste 600 Wen, soap, soap, washing powder 1000 Wen, shower gel, shampoo 1500 Wen...
There are also candies. Xu Ning brought a lot of White Rabbit toffees. For this world, such candies will have a strong impact. I believe that as long as you eat them once, you will have a second or third time. Don’t worry. Sell.
White Rabbit toffee costs 500 cents each. Only the rich in the city can afford it. Woodcutter like Li Daniu is reluctant to buy it.
Seeing this price, the four clerks also took a breath. This is too expensive. The cheapest toothbrush costs 300 yuan, which ordinary people cannot afford.
"Rulan, Yiyi, Hua Niang, and Wang San, come here." Xu Ning sat on a chair in the shop and called the four of them over.
"Today is your first day at work. You need to keep a smile on your face, you know? You want your guests to feel friendly and at home..."
Xu Ning said some things to note, and the four of them nodded and took notes.
Not long after, Li Daniu came over, and Xu Ning smiled and said: "He will be your shopkeeper from now on, do you understand?"
Li Daniu was a little excited. Xu Ning did not break his promise and really asked him to be the shopkeeper. He felt a little uneasy, but thinking that Xu Ning trusted him so much, he felt that he had to do a good job as the shopkeeper to deserve Xu Ning's trust.
He untied the package on his back and said with a smile: "Sir, here are the fruitless fruits I bought after I went back yesterday. I thought you liked it, so I brought some here first, and my wife is buying them later."
Xu Ning opened it and took a look. It was almost the same size as the one he got from Li Daniu's house last time. They were both special grade. He nodded with satisfaction.
Li Daniu lowered his voice and said:
"Sir, when I entered the city just now, I saw that Zhou Ji's pawnshop was gone, and all the big men from the county government had passed by. I heard those people nearby said that it seemed that God was angry, and they all heard a bang, and then Zhou Ji’s pawnshop is gone.”
"I just said this week that the pawnshop will be punished for making illegal money. Such a magical lighter is only worth ten taels. It's too dark."
Xu Ning heard it funny. If you knew the cost of lighters, you wouldn't think so.
"I will explain these products to you. Remember it. Don't let everyone know about it by then. If you don't know, it would be embarrassing. Also, don't call me Young Master."
Li Daniu nodded hurriedly, knowing that he should call his boss.
Xu Ning talked about the functions of these products. They are all daily necessities, which are easy to understand.
Li Daniu memorized it carefully, for fear of making any omissions and betraying Xu Ning's trust in him.
…
Zhou Ji Pawnshop.
Many government officials are busy, including Ma Min, the chief arrester, and Chen Ping, the county captain. The bombing of Zhou Ji's pawnshop is a big deal.
After hearing the noise, they all rushed over as quickly as possible.
Next to Chen Ping stood a rich middle-aged man and a young man in fine clothes. At this moment, the rich middle-aged man's face was ashen and he said in a deep voice: "Master Chen, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. The thieves are so courageous." You dare to destroy my pawn shop, you don’t take Mr. Chen seriously."
Zhou Kun's heart was bleeding. There were a lot of pawned things in the pawn shop. Now that they were destroyed, he would have to pay a lot of money.
Chen Ping didn't look good either. As a county lieutenant, he was in charge of the security of Yongping County. Someone committed a crime under his nose. This was a challenge to his authority.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I will personally supervise the investigation of this matter and catch the murderer as soon as possible."
Chen Ping spoke in a deep voice. The Zhou family is a large family in Yongping County, and Zhou Kun is a member of the family. He would always give him some money to build closer relationships with him.
Now that the Zhou family's pawnshop has been destroyed, he will definitely have to contribute.
The young man in fine clothes said at this time: "Yesterday, Ma Captou came to ask Zhou Xing some things. I wonder if it has something to do with this matter."
"I've also heard about this. I seem to be asking about the murder that happened at the Xu family the night before yesterday." Chen Ping said.
Then he called Ma Min, "Have you found any clues?"
Ma Min shook his head, "I asked about all the shops nearby, and I didn't see anyone suspicious. In the morning, only Zhou Xing entered the pawn shop."
"Could it be related to Xu Ning? I heard that there is a sect in the world that is good at making gunpowder. The loud noise heard by people around the pawn shop should be the sound of gunpowder exploding. Xu Ning has many rare treasures on his body, and It’s not surprising that a master of hidden weapons carries this kind of gunpowder.”
The young man Zhou Chong spoke again.
Ma Min frowned slightly. He didn't like the Zhou family very much. Because they were a big family and protected by Chen Ping, they bullied men and women in the county, and the people in the city dared not speak out.
Hearing that Zhou Chong suspected Xu Ning, Ma Min immediately said: "It can't be Xu Ning. I sent extra people to patrol near Xu's house last night. Xu Ning never came out from the beginning to the end."
Chen Ping said: "Whether it's Xu Ning or not, since Mr. Zhou has doubts, let's bring him over and ask."
"Sir, this isn't appropriate," Ma Min said in a low voice.
"I'm just bringing him here for questioning. I'm not saying he is the murderer. If there's anything wrong, go." Chen Ping waved his hand and sent Ma Min to bring Xu Ning.
Ma Min had no choice but to go to Xu's house. Cuixue informed Xu Ning that he was in the shop, so Ma Min had no choice but to go to the shop.
…
Xu Ji Shop.
Li Daniu memorized all the products, and Xu Ning asked Qiao three or four who could read.
"Master, I know a little bit," Yiyi said.
"Very good. From now on, you will be responsible for keeping accounts. You must record how many things are sold every day. I know all the goods in my heart. If your accounts and the quantity of goods do not match up, it means that you have tampered with it. Don't Blame me for arresting you and bringing you to see the officials."
"Don't dare, we don't dare." Several people were shocked. They were already very grateful to have such a job opportunity. How could they line their own pockets?
Li Daniu also said: "Don't worry, boss, I will keep an eye on them."
Xu Ning nodded. Although he believed in the honesty of these people, he had to say ugly things first.
"Brother Xu Xian, the county captain wants to see you, please come with me."
At this moment, Ma Min came in with the government servants. The expressions of Li Daniu and others changed. Did the boss commit a crime?
