During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Shopkeeper Pan smiled and said somewhat flatteringly: "That's all some people's nonsense. I never said that. I have always praised you."

Even if he was scolded, he would be scolding secretly behind his back.

Dessert House's business is getting better and better, but in fact the profit that Shopkeeper Pan makes from it is not particularly high.

From the beginning, in order to secure Jiang Miao as a big customer, Shopkeeper Pan offered lower prices than others.

It is because of her relatively high demand that the two of them have maintained this cooperation model. If it were anyone else, Shopkeeper Pan would have raised the price long ago.

But he was also glad that he didn't raise the price, otherwise he wouldn't be able to drink soup due to the new wheat.

Thinking about the new wheat, shopkeeper Pan rarely negotiated with Jiang Miao about the price.

Jiang Miao ordered a batch of good mung beans, and the price was five cents lower than what was on the market. She had asked other grain stores, but they were only willing to pay a minimum price of four cents, so it was better to cooperate with Shopkeeper Pan.

For future friendly cooperation, Jiang Miao gave Pan Zhang two pairs of shoes.

Shopkeeper Pan heard that it was a new product in her shoe store, "I heard that you are planning to open a shoe store. You have even finished the store. It should be opened in the next few days."

Jiang Miao said smoothly: "It's almost the same. I'm looking for someone to count the auspicious days. When we open, shopkeeper Pan will come to support us."

"sure."

After Jiang Miao left, shopkeeper Pan couldn't wait to open the box containing the shoes.

Four-layer sole, the upper is made of black cotton, the upper is high, and there are four straps on the front, two on the left and right sides.

Shopkeeper Pan tried it and it was very comfortable, but he didn't know how to use the four straps. At this time, he discovered that there was another piece of paper in the box.

The above is exactly the correct way to use the shoes, which is to tie the bags on both sides together.

Shopkeeper Pan tied the four straps according to the above technique, walked around the room, and quickly realized the benefits of these shoes.

The soles of the shoes are soft, fit well, and won't fall off. They have a delicate appearance, especially the four straps tied together, which make him feel like he's in heaven.

Shopkeeper Pan quickly called Mrs. Pan and asked her to try it too.

Mrs. Pan was full of praise after putting them on, "The patterns on these shoes are really beautiful, and they are not tiring. The soles are also soft. Where did you get them?"

"Didn't you say before that Jiang Miao opened a new shoe store? She got these shoes."

Mrs. Pan couldn't help but be envious, "She's really imaginative. She actually came up with such a way. It's no wonder that people can make a fortune."

Speaking of getting rich, Shopkeeper Pan then remembered that the Yang family was selling their shop.

Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. By the time he found Ren Yazi, the Yang family's shop had already been robbed by others.

Ren Yazi and Shopkeeper Pan were old acquaintances, so he pulled him aside and said, "Shopkeeper Pan, why did you come here? All the good shops are gone."

Shopkeeper Pan rushed over as soon as he received the news from Jiang Miao, "They're all gone. I heard that the Yang family sold a lot of shops. You don't want to keep them for others, do you?" !”

"How could it not be possible? We have been doing business for many years. How could I lie to you? Why didn't you come earlier? Master Pan should know about the Yang family's sale of the shop. Didn't he tell you?"

Shopkeeper Pan grinded his teeth, his face darkened, and he left angrily.

As for the grievances between Shopkeeper Pan and Master Pan, we have to start from the previous generation. Shopkeeper Pan’s family is a big family. When the family property was divided, nearly [-]% was divided. Master Pan’s family and the other two families shared [-]%. There were many monks and few meat, so there were many quarrels when the families were separated.

Later, the families stopped interacting with each other very much. Shopkeeper Pan inherited his father's business. He was good at calculation and management, and had a good reputation. He quickly accumulated a lot of family property.

In contrast, Master Pan and his family were not very good at running a business. They only passed the county government clerk examination and worked as a minor clerk under Master Zhang.

Life is not rich, but we can barely afford food and clothing.

However, the relationship between the two families was not very good due to the grievances of the previous generation. Every time Shopkeeper Pan wanted to go to someone from the county government to do something, he would go to someone else, and he was given a lot of benefits.

Chief Pan even had a quarrel with Shopkeeper Pan over this, and it is said that the two even got into a fight. Later, the relationship between the two families became worse and worse.

After listening to Dashan's narration, Jiang Miao took a while to realize, "Whose fault is this?"

Dashan finished his tea and slapped his thigh, "Whose fault could it be? It's our ancestor's fault. Who told him not to give Master Pan and his family a bigger share when the family was separated?"

"Actually, he's right." Jiang Qian strolled over.

Dashan stood up awkwardly and said, "Greetings to the County Magistrate."

"You're welcome, sit down quickly." Jiang Qian said warmly. He still admired this person who helped A Miao and was loyal.

Jiang Miao poured a cup of tea for Jiang Qian, "Brother, who did you say was right just now?"

Jiang Qian said: "According to the law, the eldest son can inherit more than [-]% of the property, and the remaining [-]% is distributed to other children. A married woman has no right to inherit property, unless the family is extinct."

"So, Mr. Pan did nothing wrong in this matter?"

Jiang Qian continued: "The law stipulates this, but the law is nothing more than human relationships. Since the eldest son has inherited most of the property, he should also help his younger brothers."

"In this case, Shopkeeper Pan's father did something wrong. If he was willing to help his brothers, the relationship between Master Pan and Shopkeeper Pan would not have deteriorated so much." Jiang Miao sighed.

Jiang Qian disagreed, "When we separate, we are two families. How they get along is their own business. The law stipulates that it is for family inheritance. How to do it all depends on conscience."

Jiang Miao reached out and touched Jiang Qian's chest, "Brother, let's see if your conscience is still there?"

Jiang Qian: "..."

"Why do I have no conscience?"

"Why didn't you see your second uncle and aunt when you went home last time?"

Jiang Qian knew this was the case and sighed helplessly, "It's not that I don't see them, it's that they hide when they see me."

Jiang Qian was relieved about what happened in the past. The reason why he didn't see Jiang Yongguo and Li Peilan was because the two of them deliberately avoided it. He couldn't take the initiative to see them.

In fact, it's not that I've given up completely, it's just that I don't want to worry about it anymore.

Upon seeing this, Dashan promptly said goodbye.

"Wait a minute." Jiang Qian called him, "I heard that Brother Dashan is very familiar with the places and people in Qingzhou City. I would like to ask Brother Dashan for a favor."

Dashan blinked and straightened his back quickly, "Your Majesty, the county magistrate is serious. Without Sister Jiang, there would be no Dashan today. You are her eldest brother, that is, my brother. If you have anything to say, you can do it." I will definitely do it when it comes.”

After saying that, Dashan came to his senses, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean to have a relationship, I just..." (End of Chapter)
