"My second brother?" Mu Lin always knew that He Chuan paid a lot of attention, but when it came to his second brother, he couldn't help being distracted.

He Chuan said with a smile: "Recently something happened in the city, you should all know about it, that is, Ge Dayou lost his money."

Chen Shiliu reacted quickly: "Brother He is talking about looking for the second brother of the Mu family to find things?"

Mu Lin also understood, but he couldn't help worrying: "Is this okay? There are so many people in the Ge family, and they can't find it. My second brother..."

Although he didn't want to belittle his second brother, Mu Lin knew the difficulty of this matter.

The reason why He Chuan wanted to find Mu Qingyan was because of the flower picker last time.But Mu Qingyan was unknown before, and a success may have been just a fluke. He Chuan didn't pay attention when the Ge family incident was first reported.However, something happened yesterday, and he probably couldn't find anything. Ge Dayou was in a hurry. In order to encourage his family's enthusiasm for searching, he promised to give a reward of 100 taels of silver to whoever found it.

100 taels of silver.

They have a lot of ways to get money as catchers, but they are all small-scale troubles, and 100 taels is a huge sum of money for them.What's more, this is a worthless business. The big deal is that you can't find anything and don't lose anything. You can also take this opportunity to verify the ability of the second brother of the Mu family.

As soon as Chen Shiliu came, he caught up with the flower picker to close the case. Hearing about the case of the flower picker, he was very curious about Mu Qingyan, especially when he learned that the other party was just a 15-year-old farm boy.

He has been diligently coming to the restaurant to eat, and he also has the intention of observing, but he didn't find anything other than that Mu Qingyan could cook good dishes.If there is any real difference, it is probably that the other party does not look like a farm boy, even if he is doing a small business, he does not look like a businessman.

Chen Shiliu wanted to see it with his own eyes to see if Mu Qingyan was really capable, so he immediately agreed: "I think Brother He's proposal is very good. Try it, once it works, it will be 100 taels of silver. Brother Mu, don't you agree?" Are you in a hurry to marry a wife? How can I do without money."

"It depends on whether my second brother is willing or not." Mu Lin was indeed interested in those rewards, but in comparison, he had to respect his second brother's opinion.What's more, the family is not waiting for money to buy rice for the pot, so many difficulties have been overcome, and today's life is already very good.

Mu Qingyan had heard them talking a long time ago, and walked over without covering it up.

"What's the specific matter, let's talk about it." Anyway, it's what happened in the county town, and I will go there after a few steps. If it is feasible, I will go there.

"Second brother of the Mu family, sit down." He Chuan enthusiastically pulled the bench over and said with a smile, "You know the Ge family in our county, right? Master Ge, Ge Da is rich, his most beloved jade The thumb is gone, and I can’t find it no matter what, let’s say, whoever finds it will give him 100 taels of silver.”

"Jade finger? This kind of precious thing is small. If it is really lost, it may be difficult to find it back." Mu Qingyan just analyzed it according to common sense.

Chen Shiliu interjected: "His finger-wrenching jade is of average quality and worthless, but because he was a businessman who saved his life when he was young, he regarded it as a talisman, so he didn't leave him easily. He was at home that day. Inviting guests, I drank too much during the dinner. I woke up the next day and found that the finger was missing. I thought it was somewhere, because the finger is a little loose, and it is easy to slip off when I sweat. It slipped off twice before. But he couldn't find it anywhere, so he began to suspect that someone stole it deliberately, but he searched every place in the house and found nothing."

"The finger was lost for three days. Ge Dayou couldn't eat or sleep because of his money. Someone persuaded him to buy another one. He said that the finger was a relic of his late father and saved his life. It was of great significance. You must find it." return."

It sounds like it's not difficult, but looking for lost items is Mu Qingyan's forte.

Mu Qingyan looked at the three people in front of him, and finally fell on He Chuan: "If this is done, I will get half of the reward."

Instead of feeling dissatisfied, He Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Being able to say something like this shows that you are sure.

He Chuan looked at Chen Shiliu, and it would be beneficial to discuss this matter together.

Chen Shiliu nodded hurriedly: "It should be, this matter mainly depends on the second brother of the Mu family, and we will do errands along with it."

So He Chuan said: "Then it's settled. If it happens, the second brother of the Mu family will take half, and the remaining half will be divided into three shares."

Mu Lin stared blankly, always feeling that this matter was mysterious.

He quietly asked Mu Qingyan in private: "Second brother, can you really find that finger?"

"I'll find out tomorrow." They agreed to go to Ge's house tomorrow, and He Chuan went to Ge's house first to say hello today.

but……

Mu Qingyan asked Mu Lin: "Master Ge is offering a reward within the Ge family, and outsiders like us came to the door rashly... Does He Chuan know someone from the Ge family?"

Mu Lin smiled and said: "He Chuan has a lot of friends and knows a lot of people. But as for the Ge family, he has been in contact with the young cousin of the Ge family recently. He couldn’t help, and even said that even if he found something, he would give He Chuan the reward, and the other party didn’t want it. That’s probably how He Chuan got his heart.”

The next morning, Mu Qingyan was busy with breakfast, stewed a large pot of fish head tofu soup, and went out.

Just a pot of fish soup today, until sold out.

As for the simple job of cooking noodles, Mu Wu did a good job.Mu Wu loves to eat, he was short of meat since he was a child, and now he likes to hang around the pot table in the shop, so Mu Qingyan simply taught him how to cook.In contrast, Mu Wen prefers to write and do calculations, likes to entertain guests at the front, meets stewards on big ships or business travelers from afar, and likes to ask people about the outside world.

By the time we left, the sun had risen.

Their shop is on the side, and there is a distance of ten meters between the nearest one.Since the start of the restaurant business, there have been many small businesses carrying loads and baskets in this open space, and it is also lively.It was different today, a clerk from the yamen led people to measure the land, followed by a man in a long gown, probably the person who caught sight of this open space.

This person doesn't know what business he is doing, and the area he encircles is not small, because he occupies a deep place in the back, which is equivalent to building another house in the position of Mu's vegetable garden.

A businessman nearby chatted with the man.

The man said with a smile: "I'm going to open an inn here, and I'll have to take care of you when the time comes."

Inn?

There is a Datong store in the ferry, and other guesthouses, as long as there are spare houses, are also used as accommodation, but no one is serious about opening an inn for accommodation.Furthermore, general inns not only provide accommodation, but also provide meals, which is a competition.

As for the competition for accommodation, basically no one cares.

Few people stayed overnight at the ferry, and besides, it was planned to build an inn with such great fanfare.Most people think that this business is not good, and no one's money comes from the wind. Ordinary people would rather sleep in a big bunk or on a boat, and those who are rich and have status simply go to the city by car.

Mu Qingyan also thinks that the person who runs the inn is interesting, maybe he has some special tricks.

There are many people renting cars at the ferry because of the traffic of passengers and goods.

Mu Qingyan rented a donkey cart to go into the city. He was alone, without any heavy items, and only cost two Wen for the fare.Of course, it would be impossible for a donkey cart to travel to the county for him at this price. There was no shortage of people at the ferry, and soon a cart filled with five people, and someone brought something.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the city, he saw Mu Lin waiting there.

"Second brother, go to the teahouse first. He Chuan and Chen Shiliu are waiting in the teahouse, and Young Master Li is also here."

"Young Master Li? That young cousin from the Ge family?" Mu Qingyan from the Ge family in the county knew a little from hearsay, and had heard of this young master.

The master of the Ge family is called Ge Dafu, and his ancestors opened a shop to do small business. When Ge Dafu took over the family business, he was dissatisfied with the status quo and went out to run a business.Vendors from the south went to the north, and those from the north were sold to the south, reselling them back and forth to earn the difference. From small businesses to large caravans, they worked hard for more than ten years to earn a family business.

In recent years, he hasn't traveled much, but the Ge family's caravan is still running through the river, and there is also a large cloth shop in the county town, which has all kinds of materials from south to north.

The Huang family in Fenglin City had rich ancestors and had high-ranking officials, so their daughter can still marry an official family.But the Ge family made their fortune from small merchants, and now they can occupy a place in the county.

In comparison, the Ge family received more attention.

Because Ge Dafu has no son, only one daughter, and this girl is only fifteen years old, just the age for marriage.

Ge Dafu's family is rich, and he has always spent money with pride, especially for his daughter.On his daughter's first birthday, Ge Dafu held a long street banquet for three days, and distributed incense in the surrounding temples and Taoist temples. His skills were simply appalling. Some people persuaded him that he was just a girl, but Ge Dafu directly said, "What are you afraid of? Dafu has nothing but money.”

Although these words were spread out of context, since then Ge Dafu has had a nickname - Ge Dayouqian!

Ge Dafu has not had a son for many years, and there are those who persuade him to take a concubine or adopt him, but Ge Dafu ignores them all.He said to the outside world that he wanted to find a wife for his daughter and leave the family property to his grandson.

I don't know how many people in the city are staring at being the son-in-law of the Ge family. Who would have thought that a young cousin appeared a year ago, and he was the cousin who had a baby kiss with Miss Ge's family since childhood.
