It's really a pity.
Song Jingyun let out a long sigh.
That look looked very pitiful.
Jiang Michia couldn't bear to see it, and she was thinking about whether to go out and search to see if there was a shop that sold the food Song Jingyun mentioned, buy it for her son-in-law, or go eat together.
While hesitating, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Michia went to open the door.
The waiter was outside the door, holding a tray in his hand, "Hello, Mrs. Jiang, our shopkeeper is worried about the cold weather and is afraid that the students who are rushing to take exams will easily catch the cold, so he specially hired a cook to add some new food to the kitchen."
"This is a soup made from mutton bones. Some mutton leg meat is mixed in, and pepper powder is added. It tastes best to keep away the cold and warm up the body. This fried bun is what the chef here is good at. It is stuffed with mutton and green onions. It’s best paired with lamb bone soup.”
"Ms. Jiang and Mr. Song will also try it to see if they suit their taste."
Jiang Michia, "..."
Just now, my son-in-law was still thinking about fried fish and mutton bone soup, so the waiter from the Tuantou shop brought them to his door.
All your wishes come true, that's what I mean.
Perhaps, this is what Xun Yuanbai said, that the fate of the little son-in-law and Jiang Junli are in harmony, and they can strengthen each other. Is this the result of the increased luck of the little son-in-law?
Well...Jiang Junli's wealth is already very good. If he wants to strengthen it...
OK!
Jiang Junli had already arrived at the nearby bookstore.
The bookstore is next to the inn, on the other side is a jewelry shop, and on the other side is a cloth shop.
This street can be considered prosperous, and the nearby shops are doing very well. Each shop has a tall and spacious door, but this bookstore has a dilapidated door and a narrow interior, which looks quite out of place with many of the shops around it.
The shopkeeper of the bookstore is an old man with a long beard. When he sees people coming, he warmly welcomes them and even recommends some newly arrived books.
Books were hard to come by at this time, and although printing was available, its popularity was not high. Most of the books sold in bookstores were copied by hand.
But the business of this bookstore is not good, so the wages paid to the copyists are naturally not high. Naturally, the books are not of high quality, or they are not cherished, but they are just books that can be seen everywhere.
Jiang Junli flipped through several books without any interest.
It was raining again outside at this time, and some rain was falling through the door into the shop.
A middle-aged man ran over in the rain without holding an umbrella. After rushing into the bookstore, he hurriedly said to the old man, "Uncle Cao is not good. My aunt just vomited food again. I went to ask the doctor to come over. The doctor came over." After looking at it, I just said that the situation is not good."
The old man's expression suddenly changed, "This, this..."
"Uncle Cao, my aunt's illness really cannot be delayed. Although the medicine prescribed by the doctor is a bit expensive, you still have to take a few doses. It's best to go to the capital to find a famous doctor to treat her. Maybe she can get better." The man sighed.
"Why don't I know this? It's just that my family already owes a lot of money because of my old lady's condition. I can't even borrow money. How can I get her such expensive medicine? How can I go to the capital to see a doctor? "
The old man was already in tears, "Although I have the intention to sell this shop, but the shop is really small, no one wants to buy it, and the selling price cannot go up, there is really... no way."
As he spoke, the old man wiped his tears with his sleeve.
That look looked so pitiful.
Seeing this, Jiang Junli couldn't bear it, so he simply said to the old man, "I bought this shop."
"Xiao Langjun, the price of my shop is not cheap, you probably won't be able to pay that much money." The old man sobbed.
"Oh? How expensive is this?" Jiang Junli raised his eyebrows.
"This land, which is as big as a hand, costs one thousand taels of silver." The old man said.
One thousand taels of silver.
Jiang Junli called Xinghe over, took two silver notes and stuffed them into the old man's hands, "It's cheaper. Just sell them to me for two thousand taels of silver."
The old man, "..."
"Thank you, sir!" The old man tremblingly accepted the banknote, hurriedly took out the land deed, and went through the transfer procedures with Xinghe.
In just half a day, the shop was under Jiang Junli's name.
Xinghe looked at the house deed and land deed, frowning, "Master, it seems that this shop is of no use after I bought it."
And it’s so expensive.
Furthermore, Xinghe heard someone mention in the evening that the owner of the bookstore was not the old man, but the middle-aged man who reported the news to the old man.
The old man did not have a seriously ill wife, but because he saw Jiang Junli's generous spending, he and the middle-aged man jointly acted in a show, trying to look pitiful in front of Jiang Junli and get him to pay for the shop.
It can be said that the person who bought it from this shop was really taken advantage of.
"When did I pay attention to the usefulness of things when I buy them?" Jiang Junli curled his lips, "Just find someone to watch. If you don't want to sell books, just find some other way to make a living."
Do whatever you want to do.
It's best to lose money.
Xinghe knew his young master's temperament, so he didn't say anything more and just randomly found a clerk to look after the shop.
The clerk watched it for two days. When he was keeping vigil in the shop at night, he forgot to blow out the candle beside the bed. As a result, the candle fell down and ignited the book on the corner of the table, and a raging fire broke out in the book shop.
Fortunately, the waiter woke up from the heat and called the neighbors to put out the fire in time, thus a disaster was avoided. However, the fire was ruthless and the shop was filled with flammable books. The fire almost completely destroyed the shop. thorough.
