When Butler Xu turned around, he found that the person speaking was a middle-aged man who looked like a stick. He was extremely thin, with a long and lanky face with deep sunken cheeks. His big mung bean eyes were blinking, resembling a mouse, and his eyebrows were too thin.

It was very sparse, and the little hair on her head was casually tied into a bun with noodles, giving her a rather sinister look.

"It turns out to be the fifth brother. I have to worry about what I asked you to do before!" Butler Xu said with a bright smile on his face when he saw this skinny middle-aged man.

The surname of this middle-aged man with a sinister look is Li. Because he is the fifth person in the family, he is usually called Lao Wu. Lao Wu does not have any serious business. He just hangs around in the market every day. He is familiar with people in Songjiang Prefecture and helps others.

Introduce helpers or buy and sell rental houses, and get some benefits from them. Butler Xu used him to let the news about renting houses out today.

Butler Xu used to be a somewhat respectable figure in the Songjiang Mansion, and people like Lao Wu who were similar to bastards could not be contacted at all. Now, although the Zhou Mansion has fallen, Lao Wu saw that Butler Xu greeted him with a smile.

I felt very grateful. I saw him grinning widely, showing two rows of yellow teeth, and said with a smile: "Butler Xu, you're too polite. I'm just eating for a living, so I can't say thank you. But this time I found him."

A great patron!”

"Big patron, what big patron?" Butler Xu obviously didn't quite understand what Lao Wu meant. The mansion just wanted to rent out a few yards at a certain price. How could there be such a thing as a big patron?

But Lao Wu looked very excited. He raised his sparse eyebrows and said: "Butler Xu, you don't know. There is Mr. Liu from Yangzhou, who is also a scholar. He used to be an official in other places, but now he is older, so

I want to go home to retire, but he likes the beautiful scenery here in Songjiang and it is not far from Yangzhou, so he wants to buy a house here. I just received the news, so I came to discuss it with you.

If the government is willing to sell the house, then I will contact the people sent by Master Liu to view the house?"

Hearing what Lao Wu meant by the big customer, Butler Xu immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, our Zhou Mansion was built little by little by Master. If it is to be the ancestral home of our Zhou family in the future, it must not be

Sell, this matter is non-negotiable!"

When Butler Xu said this, he felt that his tone was a bit harsh, and then he immediately softened his tone and said: "Brother Five, although our Zhou family has been temporarily in decline, it has not yet reached the point of selling the house. Now we are just leaving the previous few unused

The yard is rented out, so you still need to worry about this matter!"

When Lao Wu heard Butler Xu's rejection of his suggestion, the smile on his face was a bit sarcastic. He couldn't get much money out of renting out a yard, but when he sold a house, he couldn't get much money out of it.

The small income was enough for him to eat for a few months. Unfortunately, this hope was shattered now, which naturally made Lao Wu feel a little unhappy.

However, neither Butler Xu nor Lao Wu noticed that while they were discussing renting a house, the young butcher next to him who was busy cutting meat for the guests suddenly changed his expression and slowed down his cutting action. He turned to look at Butler Xu and revealed his

He had a thoughtful expression, and even wanted to open his mouth to speak, but when he saw that Lao Wu was still here, he felt that it was not the time for him to speak, so he lowered his head and continued busy with his own business, but his eyes glanced at Xu from time to time.

housekeeper.

For the sake of his huge sum of money, Lao Wu reluctantly tried to persuade Butler Xu a few words, but Butler Xu knew that the Zhou Mansion's house had already been mortgaged to Mr. Wang, but he only wanted to care about the friendship between the two families.

There was no demand for it, and precisely because of this, the young master would definitely not be able to sell the yard again, so he resolutely refused Lao Wu’s persuasion.

In the end, Lao Wu saw that he couldn't be persuaded, so he could only helplessly shake his head and leave. As for Butler Xu's last request to him again to release the news about the rental, he didn't seem to hear it, which made Butler Xu angry.

After Lao Wu left, he made a few noises again and cursed the other party as a villain.

"Butler Xu, I heard just now that you want to rent out the yard?" Just when Butler Xu turned around and was about to continue buying meat, the young butcher unexpectedly stepped forward and said, his face covered with oil.

With a bright smile.

Seeing the other party's appearance, the smart housekeeper Xu also perked up and hurriedly came over and said, "That's right, how do you know who's in a hurry to rent a house?"

The young butcher nodded and said: "Someone wants to rent a house, but I don't know how big the yard you are renting is, and what is the location and quality of the house?"

As soon as he heard that there was a door, Butler Xu became extremely excited and introduced with a face of surprise: "Brother in the yard, don't worry. After all, our Zhou Mansion used to be a well-known wealthy family in Songjiang. This time we are renting out only the front yard.

Each of the three small courtyards is no smaller than the courtyard where ordinary people live. The houses are all newly built in recent years. There is absolutely no problem. The key is the location. It is only two blocks away from the vegetable market and is mostly surrounded by Songjiang Prefecture.

It’s a big family with roads extending in all directions, and as you just heard, our Zhou family is unwilling to sell our house now, otherwise I don’t know how many people would be rushing to buy it.”

"Zhou's house? But the house of Zhou Shentong, who was awarded the title of scholar at the age of only fourteen?" The young butcher has been hanging out in the market for a long time, and Li Dan of the Zhang family has heard a lot, so he naturally knows about Zhou.

Government affairs.

"That's right, little brother, since you know our young master, you should have heard about what happened some time ago. Now our Zhou family is temporarily experiencing some difficulties, so we want to rent out the front few yards to tide over the difficulties. If little brother knows who

If you want to rent a yard, please let me know, and the benefits will be indispensable to my little brother after it is done!" Butler Xu saluted the young butcher. Seeing the way Lao Wu left just now, I guess he will not try his best.

, now that he finally came across an opportunity to rent out a house, he naturally had to seize it.

However, the young butcher seemed a little embarrassed at this time. He raised his fist at Butler Xu and said, "Butler Xu, to tell you the truth, I want to rent a house. I am originally from Cross Village in the south suburbs of the city. I have to rush into the city early every day to sell.

Meat is really inconvenient, so I want to rent a place in the city, and I also need to store pork."

"This..." Hearing that it was the butcher in front of him who wanted to rent a house, Butler Xu seemed a little hesitant. Butchers are a cheap business, and renting the yard to him now would not look good on the Zhou family. The most important thing is that Wan Wan

It would be unlucky for the family to have the other party slaughter pigs and sheep in the yard, especially since Aunt Wang is a Buddhist and a vegetarian, so it would be unwelcome to see such things.

"Butler Xu, don't worry. The rented yard is just for my daily residence. In addition, the meat slaughtered during the day is transported to the yard for storage and will be sold the next day. As for the slaughtering place, it will be outside my city.

I will never let him be slaughtered in the Zhou Mansion at home!" The young butcher also saw Butler Xu's concerns, so he hurriedly explained.

What he likes most is the location of Zhou Mansion, which is only two streets away from the wet market. If he can rent it, it will be much easier for him in the future. As for the rent, he doesn't care much. No one in the whole wet market knows that he is Butcher Wu.

His stall has the best business and naturally makes the most money. He doesn't pay any attention to the money paid by a few people to rent a house.

Hearing that the other party would not put his most taboo slaughtering behavior in the Zhou family, Butler Xu also breathed a sigh of relief. He thought about it seriously, then raised his head and said to Butcher Wu: "Well, I'll go back and tell my young master

Report it to me, no matter whether the young master agrees or not, I will come and tell you, little brother, another day!"

Hearing that Butler Xu was willing to pass the message on his behalf, Butcher Wu was also very happy and said: "Don't wait for another day, do you think this is a good idea? My meat is almost sold out today. In an hour I will be a host at the Fengyou Teahouse next door.

Please discuss renting the yard with Master Zhou. The rent issue is easy to discuss!"

Hearing that the other party was so generous, Butler Xu had a good impression of the young butcher. He immediately agreed. The two chatted for a few more words. Butler Xu took the opportunity to learn about the other party's situation, and found out that Butcher Wu was actually just two years old.

10. He looks a bit older and looks a few years older than his actual age. In addition, he is not married yet and has no other relatives at home. Typically, one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry.

After learning about Butcher Wu's situation, Butler Xu bought two more kilograms of meat. Originally, Butcher Wu refused to accept the money, but Butler Xu insisted on giving it to him. In the end, Butcher Wu had no choice but to accept it, but he cut it into pieces with one knife.

The amount of meat was more than five kilograms, and he also gave two big bone sticks with meat, saying that they were for Butler Xu to make soup, but Butler Xu couldn't refuse, so he had to accept them in the end.

After returning to the Zhou Mansion, Butler Xu excitedly found Zhou Zhong, and then told him about Butcher Wu's willingness to rent a house. As a descendant, Zhou Zhong did not have any big taboos about butchering and the like.

Butchers don't have any discrimination, after all, they are just killing pigs, not killing people.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Chong immediately agreed after hearing this, and then made some simple preparations. An hour later he arrived at Fengyou Teahouse, which is not far from the vegetable market. Fengyou Teahouse is still very famous in Songjiang Prefecture. The teahouse is divided into

Upstairs and downstairs, the downstairs is the hall, which is designed for ordinary people to drink tea and chat, and there is a storyteller's table downstairs, where storytellers give commentary. Upstairs are private rooms and seats, suitable for literati to recite poems and write dialogues.
