Yan Yiyi nodded, she also noticed it, but there was no evil in that wisp of evil spirit.
It shows that the demon did no evil!
Just when Yan Yiyi was in a daze, he was suddenly pulled forward by Lu Xin.
She looked forward and saw the words "For Sale" on the shop.
When Yan Yiyi entered, she found that this was a painting studio with various paintings hanging inside, including landscapes, flowers and birds, pictures of beautiful women...
Yan Yiyi took a closer look and found that the quality of these paintings was quite good, and they should have been painted by young talents.
Although they are not perfect, they each have their own style.
In a place like the county town, there should be people who like this kind of paintings, so that the shop will not be unable to operate.
Before they went in, someone happened to buy a painting.
"Two distinguished guests, please come inside."
A woman welcomed the two of them inside.
Lu Xin walked around and found that the painting studio was a hundred square meters, which was much larger than the shop he had in Anfeng Town!
If you rent it, it will probably cost more than thirty taels of silver a month, but the sign on the door of this shop says it is for sale.
Lu Xin still asked: "Shopkeeper, can your shop be rented out?"
The woman quickly shook her head: "Sir, my shop is only for sale, not for rent."
"excuse me."
Seeing this, Lu Xin took Yan Yiyi away and went to look elsewhere.
Exiting Xidan Road is the busiest street in the entire county, which is extremely lively.
Restaurants, inns, silk and satin shops, pawn shops, teahouses, rouge and gouache shops, jewelry shops, bookstores, drug stores, porcelain shops...
The business here is very good, and with the government examination coming soon, the business in inns, restaurants, and bookstores is extremely booming!
There are also many girls walking together on the street, each one's eyes are like lit lanterns looking for the one they love.
Lu Xin walked around and found that none of the shops were sublet.
"Now is the time when out-of-town candidates gather in the county, which is the most profitable time of the year.
At this time, everyone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit and will never sublet.
Only the shop that was for sale just now is left, little sister, let’s go and ask her how much it will cost?”
After Lu Xin finished speaking, he led Yan Yiyi back to Xidan Road.
Unexpectedly, before the two of them reached the door of the studio, the woman rushed over and asked anxiously: "You just said rent, do you still want to rent now?"
"Of course I rent. How much is the monthly rent?"
Lu Xin asked.
Lu Xin was a little confused when he saw that the attitude of the shop owner was completely different.
After hearing Lu Xin talking about renting, the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief and took Lu Xin and Yan Yiyi back to the studio to talk in detail. She even closed the door and stopped doing business.
"There is no one with a shop as big as mine on this road that is less than 30 taels a month.
Moreover, there is a small courtyard behind the shop, where people can live, drink tea and store things."
The woman took them in, and it was just as she said. It looked like it was 40 to 50 square meters.
"Including this yard, I only want you forty taels, but you have to pay one year's rent at a time.
If you don't rent it halfway, I won't refund the money." The woman said.
After Zheng Qianyun said that, she felt that she was going a little too far, because when renting a shop, it was usually enough to pay three months' rent at a time, but she asked these two children to pay one year's rent.
Zheng Qianyun glanced at Yan Yiyi and then at Lu Xin, who was wearing a curtain hat.
Due to the cover of the curtain, Zheng Qianyun could not see Lu Xin's expression at all.
But there was nothing she could do. If she went back to Huangmin County this time, it would be difficult for her to come back in a short time.
She originally thought about selling the shop before leaving, but a letter from home just came that she had to leave today.
"If you can't afford the rent, it's okay."
No, as soon as Zheng Qianyun finished speaking, Lu Xin asked: "Shopkeeper, how much do you plan to sell this shop for?"
Um?
Although Zheng Qianyun was confused, he still replied: "Four thousand taels, although my shop is not on Xiayuan Road, it is definitely a prosperous shop.
If I hadn't been in a hurry to leave right now, I would never have sold it without 6,000."
When Lu Xin was shopping just now, he inquired about the rents and sales prices of the surrounding shops.
It's exactly what this woman said.
Her shop is worth at least six to seven thousand taels, not to mention there is a small yard at the back.
"Shopkeeper, I bought it!"
Lu Xin's words shocked Zheng Qianyun. Did he buy it?
"Don't you want to rent?" Zheng Qianyun asked.
"If you sell it for six thousand taels, maybe I will just rent it, but four thousand taels is just enough for me."
Hearing this, Zheng Qianyun also smiled, maybe this is fate!
After handing over the house deed and keys to Lu Xin, Zheng Qianyun drove away in a carriage.
"Everything in this shop is given to you. I wish you a prosperous business, little brother!"
She only brought her personal belongings and didn’t want any paintings from the studio!
"Thank you!"
In fact, there was another reason why Lu Xin bought it. A shop that cost six to seven thousand taels could now be bought for only four thousand taels.
Even if he doesn't open a shop and sells it, he can earn two thousand taels.
With such a good opportunity right in front of you, how could you not seize it?
However, after buying the shop, he didn’t have much money left!
Lu Xin returned to the shop and re-examined the entire shop. This shop will reopen in the shortest possible time!
Different from the jade and silver jewelry originally sold in Anfeng Town, the jewelry in Jintao County looks more expensive and unique!!
Suddenly, Yan Yiyi's light flashed: "Brother, I have an idea!
The government examination is about to start, we can make some jade pendants, hairpins, and hair crowns with good meanings.
For example, sugar cane has good prospects of rising steadily.
The horseshoe has the meaning of success!
Deer and Lu are homophonic, meaning prosperity and wealth.
There are also combinations of egrets, lotus flowers, and lotus leaves, which mean continuous success along the way and a smooth career.
As well as Xinglin Chunyan, it has the beautiful meaning of equal status!"
Yan Yiyi said several words in succession, and soon she had patterns in her mind and quickly drew them.
Outlining one stroke after another, new and exquisite styles of hairpins, jade pendants, and hair crowns appeared one after another in a moment, which made Lu Xin's eyes light up!
Today, when he was walking on the street, he noticed the men and women on the street. Not only had he never seen these styles painted by his little sister, but they were a hundred times more beautiful than those worn by those men!
"good!!!"
Lu Xin praised.
Immediately afterwards, he added: "This time the jade quality must be better, and it must be made of gold.
At the same time, you should also look for carvers who are skilled in craftsmanship and honest.
Otherwise, my father and I would not be able to make it in time, and we would miss the opportunity to take the government examination."
Because, the government examination is the same as the county examination. With each test, there will be fewer and fewer people left in the next test.
By then, he will lose a lot of business...
A dark shadow fell under Lu Xin's eyes, and he made up his mind to seize the opportunity this time and do something big!!!
