The person who came was none other than Chen Fugui.
Still in the main hall in the backyard, Aunt Fu personally served tea and then left, leaving the two of them talking.
Yang Zhen took a sip of hot tea and asked:
"What is uncle Fugui doing for a living these days?"
"I'm thankful that I'm not involved with the Zhu family. How can I dare to think of anything else." Chen Fugui replied with a grimace.
He used to be the son-in-law of the Zhu family and had a shop in Fangshi under his control. After the Zhu family incident happened, the shop was naturally taken away by the sect, and he lost his job.
"Doing odd jobs for people and running around to deliver goods, that's what I used to do." He laughed at himself.
He was born as a casual cultivator, and this was his old trade before marrying the Zhu family's wife.
Yang Zhen stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point:
"Uncle Fugui, would you like to come and work in our Dexing Hall?"
Chen Fugui had a premonition before he came. Hearing this, he smiled and said:
"I wonder how many spiritual stones the young man will give me every month?"
When he said the word "spiritual stone", he emphasized his tone, obviously reminding Yang Zhen that he was an immortal cultivator, and his salary was not comparable to that of ordinary mortals.
Yang Zhen smiled and asked:
"In the past, how much was Uncle Fugui's monthly salary in the Zhu family? How much was it plus gray income?"
"Gray income?" Chen Fugui chewed on the word and quickly understood its meaning. He couldn't help but said happily: "Young man is so refreshing, we can't hide it. The salary given to me by the Zhu family is six spiritual stones per month. , Zhu’s family manages the gray income very strictly, it’s about two yuan a month.”
"Okay!" Yang Zhen clapped her hands and said, "Then I will give my uncle 10 spiritual stones every month first. If I do well in the future, I can add more. How about that?"
Chen Fugui did not agree immediately, but showed a puzzled expression: "When I went to see Feihongqiu last time, my sister-in-law chatted with me on the road. As the shopkeeper, her salary in the store was only one hundred silver coins per month, which is equivalent to spiritual stones. It’s just one coin. Am I taking this salary to take her place? Also, what should I do to be worthy of my salary?”
"Uncle comes here, of course, not to replace Aunt Fu," Yang Zhen shook her head and said bluntly:
"The reason why I invited uncle is because I want to bring the business of Dexing Hall to Zhouchengfang City. Apart from uncle, I can't find anyone else."
"Zhouchengfang City?" Chen Fugui's eyes lit up.
"right!"
Yang Zhen immediately told him all his thoughts.
He plans to rent a small stall in Zhouchengfang City, which is a fixed place for selling vegetables similar to a vegetable market. As for shops and facades, they are too expensive and he won't consider them yet.
The rent for a small stall like that is about one spirit stone per day, and the monthly rent is fifteen spirit stones.
He took out two hundred spiritual stones and handed them to Chen Fugui. These were the spiritual stones he exchanged at the market with his polishing fee. He also borrowed some from the little girl in advance and managed to get them together.
"Uncle will rent it for three months at a time. For the remaining spiritual stones, uncle can buy some suitable spiritual herbs and mineral materials in Zhuyang and sell them at a stall. How much money can be earned? My uncle and I are evenly divided.”
"My condition is that I set up a stall in Zhoucheng for at least 20 days every month, and I will also give my uncle a subsidy of one spirit stone every five days. In the remaining ten days, my uncle can go back to Shuyang to visit relatives, and he can also take the opportunity to Pour some spiritual materials back and forth."
"The boat ticket to and from the city is reimbursed once a month. The standard is a first-floor ticket."
"What do you think, uncle?"
After Yang Zhen finished speaking, she looked at Chen Fugui with a smile.
Chen Fugui was even more confused: "Half and half? It's a subsidy and travel expenses, and then you give me these two hundred spirit stones? You, can you make money?"
He suddenly looked very ugly: "Shitou, you don't think your uncle is pitiful and you have to pay to support me, right?"
"Of course not," Yang Zhen said sternly: "In the future, I will also provide spiritual grass or other spiritual materials to my uncle for sale. The money I earn from the spiritual grass will not be divided equally with my uncle, it is all mine. .Uncle, you have no objection!"
When Yang Zhen said this, Chen Fugui felt relieved and nodded heavily.
"However, I also have a few requests for your uncle's reference."
The so-called "reference" is just a polite term. Of course Chen Fugui understood it and quickly said "please speak frankly".
"First, the accounts must be clear. Whether it is the entry and exit of the 200 spirit stones, or the spiritual grass materials I will provide in the future, double-entry accounting must be used according to the rules of the Zhao family..."
"Second, don't inquire about the origins of the spiritual materials I provided. Of course, the origins of these spiritual materials are absolutely innocent and will not bring trouble to uncle..."
Chen Fugui listened, thought, and agreed one by one.
"Finally, I have a small request," Yang Zhen said sheepishly: "I will go to Zhoucheng every month or so. I would like to ask my uncle to take me back and forth in the teleportation array..."
"Teleportation array?" Chen Fugui waved his hand quickly: "This is not possible. I have no problem sitting in the teleportation array alone. If I take you with me, I can't guarantee your safety with my current level of Qi training at the fifth level."
"It should be okay to bring a child my age to the fifth level of Qi training, right?"
"Generally speaking, it's not a big problem, but occasionally there will be vibrations in the space, and then it will be dangerous. My ability is not enough..."
Yang Zhen fell into deep thought, but she was actually talking to Yiyi in her mind.
The little thing was full of confidence: "Brother, I can guarantee your safety!"
Based on Yiyi's own evaluation, her current cultivation level is probably equivalent to the late stage of Qi training. In addition, she already has a strong spatial talent, so she has no problem protecting a child like Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen felt confident and decided to reveal some of her "truck cards" to Chen Fugui:
"Uncle, actually I was born with space talent. It would be no problem for me to sit in the teleportation array by myself. But that would be too shocking, so I asked uncle for help. Of course, please don't spread this secret to anyone."
Chen Fugui's eyes widened. In the world of Zhenyu, spatial talents are rarer than single spiritual roots. This kid actually has such a talent, he is simply a monster!
Based on Yang Zhen's consistent performance, he did not doubt the truth of his words.
The two finally reached an agreement. From March, Chen Fugui will officially become an employee of Yang Zhen, and the booth in Zhoucheng will also be rented from March.
Yang Zhen estimated that Chen Fugui's salary, including subsidies, and the rental of the stall, plus the cost of traveling to and from the teleportation array, totaled seventy-five spiritual stones per month, which was eight hundred spiritual stones in ten months.
For the Xuanyangmu business and the future sale of the spiritual grass, this fee is worth it.
"You can also come to Dexingtang to help when you have nothing to do," he finally ordered: "You can stay in the shop today and learn new accounting methods from your sister-in-law, and you can also understand the business situation of the shop... "
This was actually the last question he left for Chen Fugui.
If Chen Fugui knew that a so-called big customer was coming to pick up the goods tonight, he could obey Aunt Fu's instructions, suppress his curiosity, and not go to the back room to secretly check the situation of Xuanyang wood, he would have passed his final inspection.
Yang Zhen planted many pomegranate trees in this yard. This kind of tree can retain memories for up to two months. It can be said to be the most secret surveillance in the world. If Chen Fugui secretly went to the back room, he would not be able to escape the questioning while taking off his clothes.
Similarly, such a pomegranate tree was planted in the yard rented by Zhoucheng.
If Yiyi's talent is properly utilized, the effect will be astonishing.
