Gu Shuixiu gave him a look of regret and swearing: "Your brother-in-law and I cannot stay in Zhishui County. Once this store is opened, we will get out of here. We will wait for the money every year.

It is also appropriate to ask you to help you manage it occasionally, and then give you 20% of the dividends. In addition, you can use 10% to honor those constables and ask them to take care of them. You don’t have to stay in the store all the time. There are Nizi and Dong Yi here. I will invite another clever waiter and two chefs, so you can rest assured."

When Gu Daniu heard that he had a share of his income, he hired a waiter and a chef. What business is the eldest sister trying to do? The shop is so big, what if it can't be collected?

Gu Shuixiu did not continue talking nonsense with Gu Daniu, nor did she tell Gu Daniu what business she was going to do, so Gu Daniu agreed to her arrangement in a confused manner.

Then, the couple took Dong Yi and Dong Xiao to find the middle-aged man that Gu Daniu mentioned. Generally, the middle-aged man had to go through the middle-aged man and rely on himself to find it. He could not find a suitable store in the Year of the Tiger and Horse Month.

A few people turned around in the alley for a few turns, and finally stopped in front of a half-new house. Most of the people living in this area are small wealthy families. Although they are not as good as those who do business and run shops, they are much better than those farmers.

Dong Xiao stepped forward and knocked on the door. Soon, a middle-aged man came out and opened the door. When he saw Gu Shuixiu and his group didn't know him, he guessed their purpose and politely invited the person into the door. The middle-aged man asked, "Are you going to buy and sell a house or a shop?"

Dong Chenghu looked at Gu Shuixiu. Gu Shuixiu's mouth raised slightly, giving Dong Chenghu a soothing look, and then said to the middle-aged man: "We need to rent a shop, not too big, enough to accommodate a counter and six tables. In addition, it is best to bring a kitchen and a bathroom. It would be better if there is a room for rest in the backyard."

The middle-aged man did not blink at Gu Shuixiu's many requests. Those who do this job have listened to the strange requests of customers, and Gu Shuixiu's request can only be considered ordinary.

The middle-aged man read Gu Shuixiu's request in his heart, looked through a booklet from time to time, and then said: "Madam, what are your requirements for the location of the store?"

Gu Shuixiu was shocked and forgot to mention it, "Of course, the more prosperous the place, the better, but safety is the first priority. You also know that the world is not peaceful. I don't want to be on business and have to be on guard against these things every day."

The middle-aged man expressed his understanding, "According to your requirements, there are three shops that meet, one on the main street of the county town, which is the most prosperous. The shop is bigger. In addition to the counter, you can also put down ten tables. There are kitchens and toilets in the backyard, and a small yard with four side rooms, which can be used to live in. The shop was originally a restaurant, but unfortunately the boss was not a business owner. He had been losing money after three years of business, so he planned to rent the shop and go back to his hometown to farm.

The second one is on the street behind the main street. Although it is not as prosperous as the main street, there are many people. This shop is smaller than the one just now and can also put down six tables. There is a kitchen in the backyard, and there is a small yard with two side rooms. The small yard can be built as a bathroom, and the side rooms can be accommodated.

The last one is on the street opposite to the second one, with a traffic of people similar to the second one. This one is the same size as the first one, but the backyard is larger and there are six side rooms.

Overall, the first store has the best location and is not small, so the rent is the most expensive. Although the last one is the largest, the rent is less than the first one."

Gu Shuixiu read the words of the young man in her heart, thought for a while and said, "How is the rent of the three stores calculated?"

The middle-aged man heard Gu Shuixiu's question about this and probably knew that the deal would be successful. He answered more carefully: "The first store costs four taels of silver a month, one payment a year, and pays for forty-eight taels at one time; the second store costs two taels of silver a month, and one payment a year, twenty-four taels a year, and the last store costs three taels a month, and thirty-six taels a year.

I wonder what the wife wants to do?” The middle-aged man looked inquiring. In his opinion, these rents are nothing to rich people, but they are definitely a huge sum of money for ordinary people. In addition, the world is not peaceful now, business is not easy to do, and the rent of the store is unwilling to be reduced. He has not made a order for a long time.

Gu Shuixiu still looked calm and did not respond to the middle-aged man's exploration. However, she thought about it. Among the three shops, the first one was undoubtedly the best, but there were the most refugees and beggars on that street. If the shop was opened, she would have to deal with the begging of these people. She was doing business and not a good hall, so she could not help them every day. Instead of doing this, she would rather choose the other two.

The second room is too small. At that time, Zhao Nizi and Dong Yike will both live in the store. In addition, the waiter and the chefs hired, although they may not necessarily have to stay there, the two rooms are obviously not enough. In addition, the second room does not have a bathroom, which makes Gu Shuixiu very dissatisfied. From this point of view, he can only choose the third room.

After making up his mind, Gu Shuixiu stopped hesitating and chuckled, "Why would you take us to see what this third store is like? If you are satisfied, we will sign a document and I can start construction too. But I want to say first that we are going to do business. The layout of this store may not be as good as we want. If we redecorate it, it should be fine?"

"Of course there is no problem, please come with me, Mrs.."

A middle-aged man led the way, Gu Shuixiu and others followed him and drove a donkey cart toward the shop.

A few people only found out when they arrived at the store. There were many shops closed nearby, and only a few of them were still open. The shops that were opened were either cloth shops or pharmacies, or none of them were restaurants. Logically speaking, this location was also good, so why didn’t there be restaurants?

Under Gu Shuixiu's inquiry, the middle-aged man sighed: "There were three restaurants on this street, one restaurant, one pastry shop, and one noodle shop. This is not because a large number of refugees have entered the county. Some of them will rush into the shops when they are very hungry. These shops selling food have become their targets. They are all small businesses, and they can't stop the aggressive refugees. Over time, the shopkeepers of these shops are so annoyed that they close their doors.

However, these stores are not planned to be sold or rented out. They also want to wait until the county has fewer refugees before opening them again."

"How do you know?" Gu Shuixiu thought that the middle-aged man was good at everything, but he even knew what other people's plans were.
