Jiang Butou was naturally happy in his heart, even though he paid a price several times higher than the market price to get these Western gadgets for Sun Cheng.

But as long as he can repay the favor, he, the patriarch in charge of the Jiang family, doesn't have to worry about being stuck in the future with a favor that he can't return.

"Okay, as long as you like."

Sun Cheng naturally liked it very much. He had already shown some abilities in the inner world in front of Jiang Butou.

Now that he has the Small Cosmos Bag in his hand, he is not afraid of other people's associations.

At that moment, in front of Butou Jiang, Sun Cheng took all these things into the inner world with a wave of his hand.

He chatted with Jiang Butou for a few more words, and then left.

Sun Cheng was not in a hurry, and talked with Jiang Butou about future cooperation and sales of these things.

He still needs some time to figure out how to use the refining method to produce these things on a large scale.

With Sun Cheng's calm personality, he would not boast before he has figured it out thoroughly.

Two days later, the second Sun Ji grain store opened in a low-key manner at the market in Dafangbo Town.

Sun Cheng didn't make much publicity, but secretly asked Jiang Butou to take care of him.

As for himself, he rented a carriage and took him, Master Polo and his daughter Bobo, and the three of them embarked on the journey back to Shangxiang.

……

ps: I had something to do last night, and the update that I owed will be completed today and tomorrow.

Chapter 100 The Luo Family's Ancestral House (for Subscription)

Don't look at the township to Dafangbo Town, the straight-line distance is less than forty miles.

However, it was such a distance, Sun Cheng and the others rode in a carriage and drove for more than two hours before arriving at Shangxiang Town at noon.

"Boss, you are back!"

When Sun Cheng and the others returned to the store, Zhang Bold was doing the calculations in the store.

Mi Zai followed in the store to help, which was requested by Uncle Yang and the others.

Uncle Yang wanted to teach Mizai woodworking skills a few years ago.

In this way, even if he learns nothing in the future, at least he has a craft that can survive.

However, Mizai was spoiled too much by them, he was not willing to be beaten and scolded, and he was not a learning material.

Sun Cheng suggested that he pay for Mizai to study at the New Book Academy.

However, there are only a few new-style schools in Guizhou Province, almost all of which are hundreds of miles away in Guizhou Prefecture.

The old couple were reluctant to let Mizai go to such a far place to study. Finally, "[-]" saw that he really didn't want to study, so they came up with the idea of ​​letting him do business with Sun Chengxue.

In this regard, Sun Cheng did not refuse.

Although this little guy is only in his teens now, children of this age are relatively precocious, and there is no such thing as child labor in China for the time being.

In the eyes of many poor families, the sooner they come out to do things and reduce the burden on the family, it is the responsibility that a child, especially a boy, should have.

So, after Mi Zai came back from Dafangbo Town last time, Sun Cheng brought him into the shop to help Zhang Boldly.

"Cousin, you're back!"

As soon as Micai saw Sun Cheng, he couldn't wait to run towards him.

Sun Cheng rubbed his head with a smile, "We'll talk later, I'll arrange two friends first!"

After finishing speaking, he took Master Poluo and Bobo's father and daughter to the second floor to stay temporarily.

Sun Cheng gave Mi Zai another ocean and asked him to go to the deli to buy some food.

"Master, Bobo, you eat first, I still have some things to deal with. Later, I will prepare some necessities for you."

"Brother Sun, let me go with you."

"No, you've been driving for a long time, let's rest first!"

Going down to the grain store below, Sun Cheng, under Zhang Bold's repeated request, brought over the account book he had prepared a long time ago.

He carefully read them one by one, and he was quite satisfied.

In the past half a month or so, the business of Sunji Grain Store was not good, but it was not bad either.

Because in the upper township, the prices of rice and flour began to fall back with the end of the war.

In Sun Ji's grain shop, the sales of sweet potato flour also dropped sharply.

The daily sales volume is already insufficient, a quarter of what it was when the Qing court was at war with France.

Even if its price is half cheaper than rice, it is only about one-third of flour.

It can be seen from this that the residents of Shangxiang Township are really not used to eating this stuff.

However, the sales volume of sweet potato roast in the store is stable, and it has become the highest-selling product in the store.

After a little calculation, Sun Cheng found that he had reached a conclusion.

The current daily turnover of Sun Ji Grain Shop is between [-] and [-] oceans.

After deducting all kinds of messy things, the net profit is about [-] oceans.

This ratio is much lower than when Sun Cheng himself was in charge.

But it's not surprising, after all, he can use the inner world to take the fresh sweet potatoes that are extremely perishable back into the inner world for storage, and then take them out when needed.

Zhang Bold obviously does not have his skills, so the operating cost is much higher than when Sun Cheng ran it himself.

After confirming that there was no problem with the account book, Sun Cheng briefly encouraged Zhang Bold and left the Sun Ji grain shop.

He didn't go to his cousin Xiaoyun in a hurry, but went straight to the tooth shop.

Calculating the time, cousin Xiaoyun's wedding ceremony should be in these few days.

In other words, Sun Cheng's wedding is only a few days away.

He didn't consider that so many things would happen before, and as a result, he delayed buying a house in Shangxiang.

Originally, if only Sun Cheng returned to Shangxiang by himself, he would have been patient and prepared to spend more time slowly looking for a suitable property.

But this time, master Polo and his daughter accompanied him back to the town.

After adding two people at once, Sun Cheng's residence on the second floor of Sun Ji Liang Shop immediately became crowded.

As a prominent figure in Shangxiang, he was recognized as soon as he arrived at the tooth shop, and there was a lot of greetings for a while.

"Yo, Boss Sun is here!"

"Shopkeeper Sun, long time no see!"

"Boss Sun, long time no see!"

After Sun Cheng greeted them one by one, he said a few words of politeness, and then went straight to the familiar Manager Chen.

"Hey, let me tell you why I heard magpies calling so early in the morning. It turns out that some distinguished guests came to the door!"

"Chen Manager, excuse me. I won't talk nonsense. The courtyard house last time cost 500 taels. I'll make a deposit now."

When Manager Chen heard this, he immediately shook his head: "Boss Sun, that courtyard house has already been bought... I went to your store to inform you, but the clerk in your store said that you have gone to work in other places."

Sun Cheng was a little surprised, he didn't expect that there were other people interested in that courtyard house.

Just about to ask about other real estate information, Manager Chen suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked him: "Oh, I remembered, Boss Sun. The courtyard of Luo Yuanwai's house in Zhenbei , and now it’s on consignment at our dental shop. See if you’re interested, and I’ll take you to have a look.”

"Mr. Luo?"

Sun Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise: "But that Luo Yuanwai who has two Hanlins from his ancestors?"

"Yes, it's him!"

Chen Jingban nodded, "His yard is also a first-class compound in our town. If something happened to the family, it would not be listed in our dental store for sale. You know his yard, A century-old house with three entrances and three exits. Now in our tooth shop, only 5000 taels are hung."

"Boss Sun, don't say I didn't remind you. The Luo family said that if they can pay back all the cash as soon as possible, it can be cheaper there."

Sun Cheng frowned after hearing this.

"Manager Chen, are you kidding me?" Sun Cheng was a little displeased.

"Although the house of the Luo family is smaller than the house of Mr. Tan, it is not as good as the ancestral house of the Ma family. However, it is a compound with three entrances and three exits, and it is a century-old house. Even if the Luo family needs money urgently, there is no one. Three to fifty thousand taels, would they be willing to sell? Why keep the price so low?"

Manager Chen knew he hadn't lied to him, but he wasn't embarrassed either.

"2.9 Boss Sun, take a step to speak!"

Seeing Sun Cheng getting closer, Manager Chen whispered, "Boss Sun, I won't hide it from you. The courtyard house you fancy is now bought by the Luo family."

"The reason why they put up and sold their ancestral house is that the house is not clean."

"You don't know yet, something happened to Luo's family while you were away from the town."

"First Yuanwai Luo died, then Master Luo, Young Mistress Luo, and several servants!"

"In just a few days, six or seven people died all at once!"

"According to the news from Luo's servant, the house is not clean and haunted!"

When Sun Cheng heard it, his eyes lit up immediately.

Ghost? !

He is good at dealing with this thing!

……

ps: I had something to do last night, and the owed updates will be completed in two days.

Chapter 101

Luo Yuanwai's family can be regarded as a representative of the gentry in Shangxiang.

The Luo family's ancestral home is in the Hetao area, and they have been scholars for generations.

After the Qing court entered the customs, the Manchus wanted to reduce the pressure on their rule.

To attract scholars from all over the world, he gave a lot of preferential treatment.

The Luo family was also a scholarly family who received the favor of the Qing court back then. There were several Hanlins in succession, and one was appointed as the county magistrate of Fukang County.

This Luo family was the ancestral house of the Luo family that was built in this township at that time.

Sun Cheng was no stranger to the ancestral home of the Luo family.

Because the basic structure of the three-entry and three-out courtyard in his inner world was copied from the Luo family's ancestral house.

It's just that the courtyard house in Sun Cheng's inner world has been enlarged by him in equal proportions.

But even so, the Luo family's ancestral house located in Shangxiang town covers an area of ​​three or four mu of land, about two thousand square meters.

Sun Cheng became interested, so he urged: "Can you explain it to me in detail, and take me to see it along the way!"

"to make!"

Manager Chen glanced at the sun outside the window and readily agreed.

It was broad daylight, especially now that the sun was at its strongest at noon, so he wasn't afraid.

The two left the dental office soon, Chen Jingban was still a little timid after 11, and called two other men who worked with him, both of whom were vigorous and strong men.

After gathering enough four people, they called a carriage from the tooth shop and went straight to the Luo family's ancestral house.

The Luo family's ancestral house is in the northern suburb of Shangxiang Town, far away from Yaxing, but not far from Sun Cheng's grain shop.

On the way, Manager Chen patiently introduced Sun Cheng and told him everything he knew about the Luo family.

"In fact, the first thing happened in the Luo family was more than 20 days ago. Member Luo went to a banquet one day and drank with the mayor and Mr. Tan. When he came back at night, it was said that he fell on the steps in front of the house."

"The housekeeper was worried in the middle of the night and only noticed when he opened the door when someone went to check."

"When Luo Yuanwai was discovered by them, he fell down and hit his head, and there was a big pool of blood, and he was already dead."

"At that time, the town was worried about Mr. Chen's accident, and the Luo family didn't want to cause trouble, so they planned to hold a low-key funeral."
