The last time Li Zexuan saw Gu Xiaomao was a month ago. At that time, the second phase of the Academy's project had just started. Gu Xiaomao was still the vice-captain of the eighth team of the first regiment (Li Tai had always been the captain). By chance, Li Zexuan found out about Gu Xiaomao's "simple" ideals.
Therefore, after the second phase of the Academy's project was completed, Li Zexuan allocated a small house from the Academy (about 50 square meters in modern times. It was neither small nor big) for Gu Xiaomao to open a shop.
Speaking of which, this small house was originally a small warehouse used to temporarily store equipment. It was located between the teaching building and the dormitory building. The location was not bad and was suitable for Gu Xiaomao to open a shop.
It wasn't that Li Zexuan was stingy and didn't want to give him a big house, but with Gu Xiaomao's current wealth, even if he was given a big house, he wouldn't be able to fill it with goods!
After entering the small house, Li Zexuan sat down and looked around. He saw that there were shelves with all kinds of goods on them. There were candied fruits, nuts, and other snacks. There were also daily necessities like soap operas, sweat towels, and wooden basins. The layout of this place was like a modern supermarket!
This idea was also what Li Zexuan told Gu Xiaomao. A supermarket was a product that surpassed the times and could definitely make money in the Tang Dynasty. When Li Zexuan had just transmigrated, he had also thought of setting up a supermarket. However, for a transmigrator like him, there were too many ways to make money. Therefore, he didn't have the time to do this.
Li Zexuan saw that Gu Xiaomao was a rather down-to-earth lad, so he gave this valuable idea to him.
"Uncle Gu, I heard that Xiaomao's mother has been sick. How is she now?"
Li Zexuan looked around the furnishings in the house and asked with a smile.
Being called "Uncle Gu" by Li Zexuan again and again, the old man was very flattered. He didn't know where to put his hands. At this moment, he hurriedly replied,
"What did my wife do to make Marquis remember her? Previously, Gu Xiaomao worked here and brought home a lot of money. This child has been filial since he was young. After he received the money, he ignored his mother's dissuasion and invited a doctor from Chang 'an City's Huichun Hall to help treat her. He even bought a lot of medicine. His mother's condition is basically stable now. We can only rest and see if the root of the illness can be cured! "
Li Zexuan nodded as he listened. He looked at Gu Xiaomao and said, "Xiaomao, your family is relying on you now. Oh, it should be your store. You have to do a good job in the future! Not only do you want your parents and sister to live well, but you also want to bring convenience to all the teachers and students of the academy! Do you understand? When Divine Doctor Sun comes to Chang 'an again, I will ask him to take a look at your mother! "
A woman stood behind the door. She was Gu Xiaomao's sister. When she heard Li Zexuan mention her, she could not help but look up at Li Zexuan.
It was not that she had any improper thoughts about Li Zexuan. It was just pure admiration. After all, which girl did not worship heroes? Li Zexuan was young, but his reputation had spread far and wide. He was a combination of wisdom, bravery, and handsome. He was simply an excellent candidate for a husband.
This girl knew her own family. She knew that there was no possibility between her and Li Zexuan, so she did not have such thoughts from beginning to end. She only hoped that her brother could learn from Li Zexuan and become someone as powerful as Li Zexuan in the future!
"Thank you, Yamachō! Don't worry! I will definitely do my best and make this store a good one! "
Gu Xiaomao promised seriously.
"Marquis, don't worry! If Xiaomao does not provide convenience to the students and teachers of the academy, this old man will be the first to not listen to him!
The old man also quickly promised.
"Haha! Fine! It's not that serious! I still trust Xiaomao! "
Li Zexuan chuckled.
After that, he chatted with the father and son for a while, then got up and said goodbye. After all, they still had to busy themselves with cleaning the store!
"Hey! Yamachō, can you help me inscribe a few words on my store? "
Just as Li Zexuan was about to leave, Gu Xiaomao stammered and asked loudly.
Li Zexuan immediately froze on the spot!
Inscribe words?
What did this kid mean? Was he deliberately messing with him? The reason why he thought so was because Li Zexuan had been here for so long, but he had never inscribed words on anyone's store before!
Although his calligraphy was now quite good and was better than most people's, compared to famous calligraphers like Chu Suiliang and Yu Shinan, it was still a far cry, okay? How could he show it to others?
"Ahem! Xiaomao! Do you want me to ask Doctor Chu to inscribe a few words for you? "
Li Zexuan coughed dryly and said.
Gu Xiaomao trembled and quickly waved his hand. "Yamachō, no need, no need! My store was given to me by you, of course, you have to give it a name yourself! "
This kid was really stubborn! He didn't even want Chu Suiliang's calligraphy!
Li Zexuan had no choice but to nod. "Alright! Bring me a brush and paper! "
"Hey! Yamachō, please wait a moment! "
Gu Xiaomao agreed excitedly. After a while, he brought over a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Li Zexuan wondered if this kid had prepared beforehand.
Li Zexuan picked up the brush and was stunned again. What should he write? At this moment, the names of many modern supermarkets appeared in his mind: Walmart, RT-Mart, China Resources Wanjia, Bailian, Wumart … But it would be too much of a joke to write down these names, because most of these names did not have any meaning to them. He couldn't harm Gu Xiaomao because of his whims!
"Hmm, I got it!"
Li Zexuan's mind flashed with inspiration. He focused his mind and calmed his breathing. With a slight movement of his wrist, he wrote the four words "Youjia Store" on the paper! He was using regular script. In his previous life, he had practiced more regular script, so he was relatively good at it.
"There's … a … small … shop! Hey! Yamachō, that's a good name! "
After staying in Yanhuang College for a long time, Gu Xiaomao could recognize a few simple words. He carefully put away the paper and laughed.
Li Zexuan said happily, "Kid, tell me, what's so good about this name?"
"Uh … Anyway, as long as it's Yamachō, it's definitely good!"
Gu Xiaomao stuttered for a long time, but couldn't say anything. He could only laugh foolishly.
Li Zexuan shook his head and said, "Xiaomao! A real man should not let down the heavens, the earth, the parents, the wife, the children, and the brothers and sisters! I hope you can use this store to let your family live a good life! "
After saying that, Li Zexuan nodded to Old Gu and turned to leave.
