Chapter 58 Store Expansion
"Yeah, delicious!"
Early the next morning, Dai Moli's excited screams were heard in the massage parlor.
She held a delicate little pastry in her hand and took a bite. She couldn't help but close her eyes and eat it in one bite. Her pink tongue couldn't help but lick the corners of her lips.
This was the first time she tasted sweetness after her death, not to mention the pastry was so delicious.
Even Yangmei on the side was amazed by the deliciousness of this pastry.
"There are only a few pastries, so you can save some. But we also have this coffee that tastes good. Let's consider it as your employee benefit."
Zhang Yi put all the things he had plundered from the foreman's room on the table.
Unfortunately, I was too worried at that time, worried about Mr. Tang who would come back at any time, so I couldn't go to the warehouse on the first floor to rummage in time to see if I could find more ingredients that Dai Moli and the others could eat.
But it doesn't matter, after eating, I will think of other ways.
Yang Yang and Xia Tao did not summon them.
It's not that I'm partial.
First, the massage parlor is too small now, and there was not much to do after the two of them arrived.
Secondly, he will expand the massage parlor as soon as possible. After the store is expanded, he will renovate it and give the two new employees a good impression.
"Boss, you are so kind!"
Dai Moli's eyes almost turned into crescent moons when she smiled.
"Stop flattering, work hard, and we will strive to get rid of poverty and become rich."
"Yes, if we contribute, everyone will have something to eat!"
Dai Moli puffed out her round cheeks and nodded vigorously in affirmation.
"You guys watch the store, I'll go out for a while."
"Okay boss!"
"jingle!"
Zhang Yi came to the door of the shop next door. After looking at the faded paper with sublease written on it and a string of phone numbers, Zhang Yi took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone number.
"Beep...the number you dialed is unavailable, please check before dialing."
Empty number?
"Young man, do you plan to rent a shop?"
At this time, the old man drinking tea in front of the door saw Zhang Yizheng on the phone at the door of the store and asked.
"Yes, uncle, do you know how to contact the landlord?"
"The landlord has been dead for several years, but the key to the shop should be in the hands of the landlord's family.
You can ask, just walk along the alley,
1…
No. 156.
Yes, No. 156."
"Thank you, sir. What is your landlord's name?"
"Surname Meng."
"Okay, thank you, uncle!"
Zhang Yi walked along the alley looking for each house.
149,151,153……
Zhang Yi stopped and looked at the house number 156 in front of him. The door was closed tightly and one of the couplets on the door was missing.
"Boom! Boom!"
"Hello, is there anyone?"
After a while, footsteps came from behind the door, "Ka! Buzz~" The small window on the door was opened, and an old lady bent over the small window: "Who are you looking for?"
"I heard that the shop in front belongs to your family, so I wanted to ask if it can be rented out."
"shop!"
The old lady looked Zhang Yi up and down for a while, then nodded: "I can rent it to you, but I ask for a long-term lease, three years, 1,500 a month."
"good."
Zhang Yi nodded readily and agreed. The price was already very cheap, even much lower than the market price.
"I have one more condition."
"You said."
"I..." the old lady opened her mouth, with a confused look on her face: "If my wife comes back, you must not beat him, and you must not do it to monks or Taoist priests."
The old lady's request sounds very strange. Anyone else would have considered whether to change the place.
But Zhang Yi doesn't have this burden: "This is no problem."
These words made the old lady stunned.
"Do you really want to rent?"
"certainly."
After receiving Zhang Yi's confirmation again and again, the old lady closed the small window and opened the door: "Come in and talk."
The old lady wore very simple clothes, a short-sleeved coat and a pair of shorts. At this age, she didn't seem to care about dressing up.
Zhang Yi walked into the yard. The yard was very large and planted with many potted plants.
This is probably how the old lady makes a living.
"Please sit down and I'll make you a pot of tea."
"No need to bother."
Zhang Yi motioned to the old lady to sit down first, then sat aside: "The potted plants here are so beautiful, did you plant them all?"
Zhang Yi noticed that in front of the house, there were several potted plants that were well maintained, especially the elm tree.
The old trees have old roots, are vigorous and simple, and have an antique feeling that inevitably makes Zhang Yi look at it a few more times.
"They are all worthless things. My child, you want to rent my shop. Do you really understand what I want?"
Zhang Yi didn't answer, just looked at the old lady.
"My wife has been away for several years and comes back for a few days every year." The old lady picked up the fan on the table with one hand and said as if telling Zhang Yi a story.
"He is a restless person. Every time he comes back, he will turn left and right. Sometimes he will go to the front room to take a look."
Having said this, the old lady looked at Zhang Yi: "If you don't believe it, just think I'm telling you a story, but several tenants before you have quit the rent in this way. Once they leave, it will be difficult to rent out the shop.
Already."
Zhang Yi understood what the old lady meant.
If a good shop suddenly quits and leaves, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of rumors when you come and go.
Doing business is all about luck. If someone's shop is haunted, how can they rent it out?
Therefore, it is understandable for the old lady to ask for a long-term lease.
"Don't worry, I'm not as timid as you think. If the old man comes back, he won't harm me. I've rented this shop. Let's create a document now. I've brought a copy of my ID card with me."
Seeing that Zhang Yi was so sure, the old lady said nothing more and just added: "If the lease expires, I will not refund any money."
"The lease is up, I'll quit and I will be your grandson."
"Oh, okay, I hope my old man won't scare you."
The old lady turned back to the house and took out paper, pen, and a key from the room.
After Zhang Yi wrote down the lease agreement, the two of them signed their names. Although it was informal, it saved a lot of trouble.
Zhang Yi directly transferred the rent to the old lady.
The total is fifty-four thousand. Before I inherited the massage shop, I had some savings on hand. It was enough to pay the rent without using the money in the bankbook.
Of course, the main thing is it's cheap.
Otherwise, according to the market price, if such a shop requires at least 3,000 a month's rent, I really can't afford that much money.
"This is my phone number. If you need anything, just call me directly."
After Zhang Yi wrote down his phone number on the paper, he took the key and walked out.
After Zhang Yi left, the old lady sat on a chair and looked at the potted plant with a golden bird at hand.
This potted plant is small and skinny, and there is a note on the pot that says "no flowers"
He patted the potted plant with his fan and said to himself;
"Old ghost, don't scare people anymore. In a few years, when Yunyun gets married this year, I will go find you."
As she talked, the old lady put the fan on her chest, closed her eyes, and after a while she began to snore slightly...
When Zhang Yi walked out of the old lady's house, he didn't forget to close the door.
Back in front of the shop, Zhang Yi pulled up the rolling shutter door of the shop.
After waving his hand to sweep away the dust floating in the air, he took a closer look and saw that the shop was not big, about fifty square meters.
Just like the massage parlor next door, it has an upper and lower floor design.
To Zhang Yi's surprise, the tenant in front of the store had already renovated the store. There was no clutter in the store and it was empty.
This saves even decoration.
When we walked to the second floor, there was a billboard for "SPA Essential Oil Massage" on the wall at the corner of the stairs.
"Hey, it can't be a fellow traveler, right?"
Going up to the second floor, there are several small cubicles, which have been simply decorated and look pretty good.
There are also several old-style foot massage beds in the compartment.
But the quality was a bit poor. Zhang Yi kicked it and it felt like it was about to fall apart.
After looking around, Zhang Yi already felt confident.
Decoration is saved. Just open the walls of the two shops and ask the cleaning lady to clean them carefully.
Work quickly, it can be completed in one day.
As for the massage table, you definitely can’t get one upstairs.
You can buy a new batch online, and if they are delivered in the same city, they should arrive soon.
Zhang Yi pulled down the rolling shutter door, turned around and walked into the store, thinking about how to save costs and improve efficiency.
"jingle!"
"Boss, Angkor is here."
Zhang Yi took a look and saw Wu Jie lying on the massage bed and Yang Mei cupping him.
"Brother Angkor, aren't you going to work today?"
Wu Jie raised his head and looked up. When he saw it was Zhang Yi, he waved his hand: "No, I'm getting old and my waist can't support it anymore. I tried several places before and it didn't get better. I thought of coming to your place today to give it a try."
"Then you have come to the right place. My fire therapy is very effective. Give it a try. If it works, you can introduce it to the police force. I am always welcome here."
Wu Jie smiled and was about to say something when the phone in his pocket rang. Zhang Yi helped him take out the phone and handed it to Wu Jie.
Wu Jie answered the phone and his expression gradually became serious.
"Well, okay, okay, I'll be right back."
After that, hang up the phone.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Zhang Yi wanted to get up from the massage chair when he saw Wu Jie. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the profession of police is really not something ordinary people can do.
"It's nothing serious. It's just a female anchor who suddenly went crazy and slashed her face with a knife. Now she's under control, but the other person's family has called the police, so we still have to go there."
Wu Jie motioned to Yang Mei to help him pull out the cupping cup on his body. Yang Mei had already raised the thermos cup in his hand, but when he saw this, he could only put the thermos cup down.
"Female anchor?"
Zhang Yi was not together at first, but after hearing about it, she felt something was wrong.
"That female anchor?"
"I don't know, it seems to be called... Oh, by the way, Gourmet Fungus is also a big anchor. You can search for it."
Zhang Yi took out his phone and searched, and a picture of a woman appeared on the home page.
Zhang Yi took a look and saw that this was the woman whose face was torn off last night.
