Chapter 68: Walking on Thin Ice
The central location of the market.
At this moment, Gu Chan and the other five people were standing in front of a three-story carved building. They looked up at the tall carved building in front of them, with their mouths wide open and unable to say a word.
Everyone in Gu Chan was stunned!
Oh my god!
What kind of three-story building is this? It’s completely a three-story building!
This floor is two stories high like the shops on both sides. If it is three floors, there will be at least six floors of shops.
And the most important thing is that this Chunfeng Building is not only magnificent in appearance, but also made of fine solid wood. The exquisite carvings on the doors on the ground floor are enough to please the eyes. .
Gu Chan now understood why Zhang Wanshan and Zhou Dachuan were so surprised and nervous in the drug store just now.
Ma Zheng stood next to Gu Chan and stared blankly for a while before he said, "Boss, do you know that this Chunfeng Building is the largest carved building in the entire market in Wuheng County! In the past, Wang Yuan's wife's family, But it was in this carved building that he made his fortune and went all the way to Kyoto."
"The county magistrate didn't tell me that this building is so big!" Gu Chan spread her hands and looked innocent.
If she had known that this building was so awesome, she wouldn't have wanted it.
As the saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind. She is a little girl, and the county magistrate gave her such a big building. If word spread about it in the future, wouldn't it attract everyone's envy, jealousy, and hatred?
"No, I have to give it back and ask him to give me a smaller one." Gu Chan made a decisive decision immediately.
After muttering to herself, she immediately prepared to take the land deed in her hand to the county government office and return it to the county magistrate.
But at this time, many shopkeepers from the surrounding shops and passers-by in the market all gathered around to join in the fun.
A shopkeeper asked, "Shopkeeper Zhou, what are you looking for outside Chunfeng Building this early in the morning?"
"Everyone, from now on, this building belongs to this little brother." Zhou Dachuan pushed Gu Chan forward two steps without thinking.
Gu Chan suddenly became the center of attention, her face turned livid in an instant, and she cursed in her heart, "Damn it, Zhou Dachuan, how could he talk so fast? I wasn't even mentally prepared before he spread the word."
"Shopkeeper Zhou, he is only a child! We don't believe what you say."
"That is, unless he proves it with the land deed."
"As we all know, this building belongs to the county magistrate. How could it be his?"
Gu Chan was cursing in her heart, and the onlookers started cheering.
Anyway, this kind of entertainment program is not a big deal for people to watch, and it doesn’t cost anyone money. Of course they love to make fun of it.
Zhou Dachuan waved his hand directly, "Everyone, the land deed is in her hand, and her name is on it."
"Come on, show us!"
"Don't dare! This land deed is fake!"
"It's illegal to brag! Be careful of getting slapped."
Everyone started laughing at each other, saying something to each other.
Gu Chan was quite anxious at first, but when she saw how everyone was treating her, she gritted her teeth and opened the land deed and raised it above her head, "I never brag. This land deed is genuine. See for yourselves."
Everyone raised their eyes to take a closer look, and the next second, everyone screamed in surprise.
At this moment, they no longer dared to underestimate Gu Chan, and they all changed their attitudes and praised her.
Gu Chan put down the land deed and slowly put it away, and said bravely, "Everyone, I will open a store in Chunfeng Building in the future. I hope you will take care of me. If I make any mistakes, I hope you will forgive me in the future and don't talk to me." A child cares."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Shopkeeper Gu can win the favor of the county magistrate at such a young age. He is really a good person among people. The future is promising!" "We hope that shopkeeper Gu will take good care of us in the future."
"Come on, everyone applaud and welcome Shopkeeper Gu to the Chunfeng Tower."
As soon as Gu Chan said these words, everyone's attitude changed one after another, and they all congratulated her with fists in their hands.
Gu Chan bowed back one by one, as if she were covered with thin ice.
Originally, she had no money now, but she only had such a carved building. Moreover, this building used to belong to the Wang family. No one knew what would happen after she moved in and took over.
She wanted to keep a low profile, but it was difficult not to show off when she was pushed to the top.
In this case, she could only bite the bullet and deal with everyone present.
Zhou Dachuan stood up at the right time and said, "Okay everyone, just go and do whatever you have to do! There is no need to watch the excitement. On the opening day of Chunfeng Tower, I hope everyone can enjoy some thin noodles and come in for a glass of water and wine."
Everyone responded and then dispersed.
After many nearby shopkeepers returned to their shops, the five of them turned their backs to Gu Chan and began to mutter and curse.
There has always been competition in the market, and if you have one less opponent, you can make more money, but now Gu Chan, a child, actually owns the largest Chunfeng Building in the entire market. How can this not make them feel envious and jealous?
If Gu Chan does well in the future, she will be their biggest competitor. This will cut off their financial path!
It would be strange if they didn't scold Gu Chan behind his back now.
Gu Chan glanced around and found that the shopkeepers secretly had bad looks on their faces. She couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "It's over, it's fine now. I haven't even moved in yet! I was hated by everyone first. If I really open my business in the future, they Why don’t you punish me to death?”
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will secretly help you make suggestions." Zhou Dachuan reached out and patted Gu Chan on the shoulder, giving her reassurance.
Gu Chan complained angrily, "It's all your fault. Who told you to talk so quickly? Can't you discuss it with me first?"
"This building is yours. Sooner or later you have to move in. You have to open the door for business. It's not a bad thing for you to knock Zhenhu early and meet all the shopkeepers in the market." Zhou Dachuan explained seriously.
When Gu Chan heard what he said, her anger disappeared.
She admitted that Zhou Dachuan's words made sense.
It has to open sooner or later anyway, so by showing your face in front of these shopkeepers, you can be considered acquainted with them.
As for what the result will be later, it depends on the individual's ability.
Thinking like this, Gu Chan didn't want to worry too much and immediately changed the subject, "Let's go! Go back to the pharmacy first."
"By the way, what kind of industry do you want to do? You can't use such a big building for blacksmithing, right?" Zhou Dachuan asked with a smile.
Zhang Wanshan and Ma Zhengnaisun both looked at each other in silence for a while.
Gu Chan reached out and touched her chin and said to herself, "It's a pity that such a big building is used for blacksmithing. It seems that we have to go back and think long and hard about what kind of store we should use it to open."
"Then let's go! Let's go back to the drug store to discuss it." Zhou Dachuan said.
Gu Chan nodded.
Then the five people said no more, immediately left Chunfeng Building and rushed back to Kaiyuan Pharmacy to discuss.
