Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

Chapter 60 Shop
Shen Ang shook his head: "Chen Wuhou is stationed in Xixiang. As for whether he will be transferred out of the border, how can we say for sure?"

Once a war breaks out with the Huns, not only the garrison troops, but even the civilians may be withdrawn.

Shen Zhao frowned and glanced at his elder brother who was still reading and writing pinyin.

With his physique, if he were to go to war again like he did in his previous life, it would be difficult for him to survive.

But the arm is not stronger than the thigh. If his father refuses Chen Wuhou, his eldest brother will probably not be able to work in the county government.

Or should I let him do business with me? If there are Hu merchants passing by, I will go and talk to them. If there are no Hu merchants passing by, I will look at their medical skills and learn some knowledge from the world of bronze mirrors.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhao said, "Dad, I want to buy ten acres of land along the official road between Dunhuang and Guangzhi. Please help me find one that is closer to our home."

Shen Ang touched his chin and frowned, "It's all barren desert over there, there are no houses around, why do you want to buy land there?"

"I want to open a shop there and do business with the Hu merchants." Shen Zhao said truthfully, "and sell my own goods at the same time."

Shen Ang immediately shook his head: "No! There is no one living near the official road. You, a little sister-in-law, are running there to open a shop. Are you afraid of losing your life?"

"Why don't we buy a piece of land near your post station? Wouldn't it be safer that way?" Shen Zhao tried his best to persuade his father: "If it really doesn't work, we can all move there."

Shen Ang glared at his daughter and said, "It's easy for you to say that. Don't you want our dozens of acres of land?"

"Then why not rent it out? You can't make much money from it anyway, so why bother?"

"That's right! I also agree to buy land and build a house next to the official road, so that you don't have to run back and forth when you are on duty." Shen Heng winked at his sister and mouthed: crossbow!

Shen Zhao turned his head and looked at his father: "Dad, if you are still worried, let's build a high wall and a big house over there, and then build an arrow tower."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Ang glared at his daughter angrily and said, "You are an ordinary citizen, why don't you try to build an arrow tower?"

Shen Zhao smiled and said, "Let me give you an analogy. If we build a high wall and have a pavilion next to it, who would dare to mess with us?"

"Yes, yes! Dad! Ah Zhao is right, can't we just build a high wall?" Shen Heng echoed.

Shen Ang thought about it and nodded: "Okay, I'll go ask the village headman if there is any land for sale near the official road?"

Shen Zhao looked at his second brother, raised his hand and clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Yeah! Success!"

"Successful in what?" Zhang Shanyue came in from outside, wiped her palms with her apron, and patted her hair a few times to brush off the snow.

Shen Heng: "A Zhao wants to buy land and build a house in Tingyi, and Dad agreed."

Zhang Shanyue walked to the small stove and stretched out her hands to warm herself by the fire: "What's the point of agreeing? Even if we buy the land, we can't build a house. It's so cold that we can't even make adobe bricks."

Shen Zhao brought a chair for A Niang to sit down: "As long as you have money, you can build a house at any time." There are also prefabricated houses for sale in the small bronze mirror. You can buy and assemble it immediately, which is very convenient.

Zhang Shanyue couldn't refute for a moment. He touched the handle of the chair and felt very comfortable.

Qin Erlang's craftsmanship is really good. He has made a lot of home furnishings in the past few days, including two square tables, a kang table, eight benches and two chairs.

Now all that’s missing are the cupboards in the kitchen and the wardrobes in the room.

By the way, there are still big wooden barrels and bath tubs that have not been made, but now it’s snowing and it’s not convenient to stay outside.

Shen Zhao lifted the door curtain made of water chestnuts and looked outside: "Oh! It's raining hard again! Shall we ask Uncle Qin to move inside to do some work?"

"I told him that he has something to do today and can't come to work. He said that Qin Yi is getting married to the girl from the Gao family, and he has to go to help." Zhang Shanyue said as he quietly observed his daughter's expression.

"Qin Yi got married." What a cause for celebration.

Shen Zhao took out a few sweet potatoes and potatoes from the red willow basket in the corner and placed them around the flame of the small stove to roast. Shen Heng hurried over, sat down next to the stove, and took a pair of tongs to turn the sweet potatoes over.

"Second brother, since you have nothing to do today, why don't you learn to read from your eldest brother? We can't do business without knowing how to read in the future." Shen Zhao pulled his second brother's arm and gestured to his eldest brother.

"I won't!" Shen Heng twisted his body and shook off his sister: "Those characters are too weird, I can't learn them!"

Zhang Shanyue glared at his son and said, "If you find it difficult to learn a single word, what else can you do?"

"I know how to do business!" Shen Heng said proudly, "I have earned more than two thousand dollars in the past few days, which is more than my father's salary."

Shen Ang turned his gaze to his second son: "What did you say?"

Shen Heng stopped talking and used tongs to pick up the sweet potatoes and potatoes.

"You little brat! You dare to compete with your father just because you earn a little money?"

"I just said it casually. How dare I compete with you?" Shen Heng was afraid that his father would suddenly attack him, so he quickly ran out of the house and hid in his sister's room.

Shen Zhao also followed in, holding a long wooden board in his hand.

Then he used a piece of burnt wood to write on it: Dunhuang Department Store Inn.

"Huh? Why are you writing this?" Shen Heng squatted beside the low table and watched.

Shen Zhao: "Shop number."

As he said this, he found a hemp rope, tied the two ends together in no time, and hung it on his window.

I just consulted Xiaoqing and she said that the store address can be changed, so she wanted to apply for the store first.

Then he took out a small bronze mirror and looked inside and outside the house, focusing on the crude signboard.

Shen Heng followed her back and forth in confusion: "Why are you looking in the mirror? Is there a ghost in our house?"

Shen Zhao ignored him and finished taking the photos. Then he ran to the sheepfold and asked Xiao Qing, "Did it work?"

There was no other way. My second brother was just a follower, so I could only shake him off and run to the sheepfold to ask.

[Congratulations! Your store application has been completed. Please set up your product shelves by yourself. Friendly reminder, the mall is not allowed to sell fake goods, short weight, or inferior goods as good ones]

Xiaoqing talked a lot, and finally introduced the store functions: [Shop owners can turn on the live broadcast function to directly display product information. Friendly reminder: Do not exaggerate or induce customers to give tips and recharge.]

After finally listening to the explanation, Shen Zhao quickly opened his shop page.

He turned his head to take a look at the goat and decisively entered its information into the commodity list: one-year-old goat, black, healthy, priced at three hundred coins each.

She wanted to try, could she store the goat in the shop?
As the light from the small bronze mirror shone on the goat, the goat suddenly disappeared.

Shen Zhao was shocked and hurried to check, and found multiple images of goats in the merchandise column, with the quantity shown as one.

However, the product information identification column indicates that live animals and fresh items can only be kept for one day. If no one purchases them within 24 hours, they must be removed from the shelves.

Shen Zhao ran to the kitchen again and deposited a yellow basin from home into the kitchen. As a result, he was told that the product could be kept indefinitely.

She put in another stone of beans, set the price at four coins per catty, for a total of fifty-eight catties, and bought them in whole bags.

The information bar began to prompt again: This product can be kept for one year. If no one buys it after one year, it will be automatically removed from the shelves.
