Chapter 44: Renting the Shop
Chen's voice was loud and his words were interesting, and in a short while he attracted many guests.
Of course, many people with red eyes have also attracted.
"I said why do your family dare to do business? Didn't you say yesterday that your family's meat is not good and that you have eaten others' stomachs? You are so young but thick, so you won't do anything good."
The fat aunt is not here to find fault today, but she has changed to a lean and thin woman.
However, because of his thinness, he looked sharp-mouthed and had no fat on his face.
Su Xiaomu and Yin were not happy to hear her talk, but they did not rush to speak.
, There was a great god here today, and she wanted to see how the great god said he was scolding people.
Sure enough, Chen stopped hearing her words.
Then she rolled her eyes impatiently, then called Yin over to make cakes for the guest. She rubbed the white flour on her hands on the apron around her body, and inserted it into her waist and cursed.
"I thought it was some great person, but when I came up, I said there was something wrong with other people's meat.
, I also find it strange. Do you think you have eaten meat when you grow up so old?
Just say that other people’s meat is bad, look at you, you don’t have two taels of meat, and you don’t look like someone who has such good fortune.”
Chen spitted at the thin woman. She spoke harshly, and she did not leave any face for the thin woman.
: "Don't say I look down on you, just our meat is definitely bought in the freshest pork shop in the city. Do you know the pork shop?"
"It's just a place that specializes in selling meat. I think you don't know it. Why not do this? After we close the stalls later, you can go with us to see it. Don't say that we won't take you to the world."
Chapter 50: Rent a B&B
Su Xiaomu was so happy to watch Chen scold people.
Her second sister-in-law is really awesome. She is not afraid of losing even if she scolds several people alone.
Especially the thin woman in the head, her face turned blue and white when she was scolded by Chen Chen.
Su Xiaomu entered her, and if it weren't for the lack of cracks on the street, she would have wanted to get in and say goodbye to the world first.
Their tricks also attracted many customers to drive away those who came to make trouble on purpose.
Not long after, all the food on the shop was sold out.
However, Su Xiaomu was afraid that his business was not good yesterday and did not make much steamed buns and eggs, so the money he earned was only 800 cents and 1 tael of silver.
She and Yin gradually moved all the things onto the cart, and after finishing it, she took Li to the yard she was looking for.
"I have agreed to pay three taels of silver a month. If my mother thinks the location is good later, we can go to the yamen to write the deed."
This contract should be equivalent to a modern contract. If you stamp and sign it in the government, you will have the legal effect recognized by this era.
"Well, mom, I need to take a good look."
Li responded, and she looked at the path they were walking quietly.
There are indeed no food shops along the way, but not many people come and go.
,When they do business here, of course, there will be no one competing with them for a while.
, but there are so few customers, it is not easy to make money.
The boss had been waiting for Su Xiaomu in the store for a long time.
, He stood at the door, and as soon as he saw them arrive, he hurriedly shouted: "I said, sister, you are here too on time, it's not too late, so let me wait."
"This is not the market work has just ended. Besides, the boss said that it is better to come early than to come early. I'm not late."
Su Xiaomu helped Li into the shop.
Chen and Yin followed behind and looked around. Chen's eyes widened as he looked at the shop.
: "I said Xiaomu, the shop you brought us is not as grand as the two stores just now. Why is the price a little more expensive than the two stores before?"
Chen's eyes rolled, and she looked at the boss and said, "Boss, you won't just pretend to be fooled by my girl, right?"
"How can this be? My price is already very conscientious. Don't say that there is absolutely no shop on this street that is cheaper than my house."
The boss was a little excited when he said this.
He stretched out his arm and gestured at the store a few times: "Look at the tables, chairs and benches in my store. If our business is done, I can sell them to you at a low price."
Besides, there is a yard behind my shop, but if you want to rent that yard together, you have to pay me two or one taels of silver."
The boss didn't want to rent out the yard behind the shop together, but he thought about it carefully. If they used this shop to do food business, it would be not convenient for him to live here again.
It's better to rent them all out at one time.
"You have a yard?"
Li didn't like this shop, but when he heard that he had a yard, he thought: "Can we go and have a look?"
"Of course, but we have to say it first, if you really want to rent it.
, I rent a shop for three taels of silver, and rent a yard for one or two taels of silver, four or five taels at a time, so I'm too lazy to bargain anymore."
The boss took out the key from his arms and opened the door for them. Su Xiaomu followed Li, holding her without saying a word.
Anyway, she also realized that Li would rent this shop today.
However, it is hard to say whether she likes this shop or the yard behind the shop.
After the boss opened the door, they all looked at the yard carefully.
To be honest, this yard is not very big, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
There are two rooms in it where you can sleep, and there is a well in the middle of the yard, which also solves the problem of their food wastewater.
In this way, the whole set of 54 taels of silver is not expensive, and it can even be said that they have found a big advantage.
"Okay, four or five taels of silver are just four or five taels of silver. Let's rent it for three months and half a year first."
Li was satisfied with the yard and was even more satisfied with paying.
But she was so generous that she was really shocked by the three wives following her.
Su Xiaomu looked at Yin and Chen again.
There was a big doubt in her big eyes.
Didn’t it mean that the family was so poor that they couldn’t make it out before she came?
Didn’t you say that you used all the money to buy her wife?
Why can Li take out thirty taels of silver now?
Su Xiaomu was puzzled, and Chen and Yin did not understand. When they came out of the yamen and looked at the rental certificate in Li's hand, their doubts reached the peak.
However, no one dared to ask, after all, Li is the one with the greatest voice in this family.
On the way home, Chen and Yin pushed the cart, while Li pulled Su Xiaomu and kept talking to her.
"Xiaomu, I have been paying the rent for half a year this time. On the one hand, I believe that you can make money by renting this shop, and it will take a while to make a profit.
On the other hand, I want you to communicate with Jingcheng well when you are fine.
, You two have arrived in the city, and you can no longer stay at home without talking like before."
Li grabbed Su Xiaomu's hand and said to her with great sincerity: "You two are husband and wife. After getting married for so long, you can't always get along like strangers.
, If Jingcheng has free time studying in the academy on weekdays, you can also call him to go to the shop to sleep. It doesn’t matter if you don’t come back this night.”
It doesn’t matter if you can’t come back?
Does her mother-in-law know what she is talking about?
As for the current situation of her and Gu Jingcheng, let alone inviting him to the shop to sleep, even if you call him to come for dinner, it is not so easy to call him.
But in front of Li, Su Xiaomu didn't dare to answer like this. She smiled and pointed the topic towards making money: "Yes, my mother is right. I will definitely take good care of my husband. I will send him any delicious food first."
"Speaking of this, I am worthy of being a mother. I have courage to do everything. If you keep an eye on our business, you are afraid that you can't do it well? Now there are shops and yards, so there is only money."
Su Xiaomu had a good idea of flattering Li. Sure enough, after hearing her say, Li laughed and scolded: "Don't talk to her mother. If you don't do a good job of business, you won't let you go so easily."
All the money is spent. If the thirty taels of silver are gone, their family has not had much left.
However, Su Xiaomu still thinks it is reliable in doing business.
If everything goes well, these thirty taels can be earned back in at most one month.
"Look, my mother doesn't say so much when she is with us. She only has so many good looks when she meets the third uncle's wife."
