Feng Yanhong's process of finding a shop was not smooth. This week, she looked around at many places nearby.
She couldn't find a very suitable shop. It was either too big and she couldn't support it for the time being, or it was too small and couldn't even fit two tables.
She also went through all the businesses in the streets and alleys. When the business was good, she also went in to have a taste.
I also tried to make it for my parents at home to taste. They gave me a lot of opinions, and the noodles became their most important item.
However, Feng Yanhong felt that the fried noodles she made tasted pretty good, but lacked the characteristics and was just an ordinary bowl of fried noodles.
"Bo Qing, come and help." Li Boshan's voice came from outside the hospital.
Feng Yanhong followed Li Boqing to the door. There was a tricycle parked in front of the door, and Li Boshan was moving a large cardboard box.
There are several big words on the carton packaging: "Friendship Washing Machine".
"Why did you buy it?" The two of them now have a total of more than 1,500 yuan in their bankbooks. How much does this thing cost?
And it’s hard to buy. Where did he buy it?
"Yanhong, give me a dollar to master. Thank you, master."
"Our laboratory teacher has a ticket. He bought one for his family last year. I am coming."
"Boqing lend a hand and let me carry this in." Li Boshan was in a very good mood.
The light green parallel-bar washing machine was placed in the courtyard, and the four of them stood around looking at it for a long time.
Grandpa Second almost had a smile on his face, "This thing is good, it can save a lot of effort."
"My family has wanted to buy it for a long time, but it is impossible to buy it in Yincheng." Li Boqing looked up and down the washing machine, picked up the manual and read it carefully.
"Is it expensive? Where did you get the money?" Before he left, he took thirty yuan. Could it be that he borrowed money from others?
"It's not expensive, it's four hundred and eighty yuan. I received the scholarship for last semester, plus the money I had, and I borrowed dozens of yuan from my roommate..."
It is indeed not expensive. Without this thing, she would have to spend a lot of time and effort doing laundry every day. As long as she can use it, this thing is worth it no matter how expensive it is.
How long has it been since his roommate reminded him to queue up before dawn? Otherwise, he might not be able to buy tickets if he had them today.
"This is much more convenient. I don't need to use cold water to wash my clothes anymore. It's a good deal!"
Feng Yanhong rubbed her head. Even twenty yuan for a pair of shoes was too expensive for him. He said it was not expensive to buy this thing for four hundred and eighty yuan. What kind of consumption concept is this?
"Are you going back to school in the afternoon? Take the money and return it to others."
Less than five hundred yuan, the price is still acceptable, so I bought it.
"Go back, we have a class in the afternoon. Do you still have the hot sauce from last time? I promised them to bring a bottle." Li Boshan scratched his head in embarrassment.
"There's half a bottle left. Let's bring it to them next week. I'll buy some dried chili tomorrow."
I made three bottles in total. Thinking that there were many people in his dormitory, I brought him the largest bottle. It seemed that the hot sauce was quite popular.
"Okay, don't be in a hurry."
Li Boshan had lunch and hurriedly prepared to go back to school.
"Wait a minute, I haven't gotten the money yet, do you have no money left on you?"
Feng Yanhong stopped Li Boshan who was about to go out, went into the house, took out one hundred yuan, and handed it to him.
She paid for the one dollar for the tricycle in the morning, which meant that he definitely couldn't get out even one dollar from him now.
"Then I'll just pretend, and I'll get the extra for you."
"No, just keep it on your body. If anything happens, how can you do it without money?"
Even if he had meal stamps in school, he would still need the money, but she didn't want to control him so tightly.
Feng Yanhong tried the washing machine and washed a lot of things in one afternoon. It really saved time and effort.
And it can be tumbled dry, so winter clothes will no longer be frozen to the bone and have to be dried in the sun for several days.
"Tomorrow we will wash everything in the house that can be disassembled and washed. Taking advantage of the good weather, we can dry it in one day."
"Hey, I'll ask Uncle Yang Shu to weld a wheel tomorrow, so that we can push it back and walk without having to carry it."
Li Boqing squatted on the ground and watched for a long time. It turned out that he was thinking about this. Feng Yanhong smiled and shook her head. This child is too smart.
"Is Yanhong at home?"
"Here you are, Aunt Gao." Feng Yanhong wiped her hands, took two steps to welcome Aunt Gao and walked in the door.
Aunt Gao's eyes lit up when she saw the washing machine in the yard.
"Hey, I bought a washing machine. Isn't this convenient? I've wanted to buy it for a long time. Where did you get the tickets? Our Lao Zhu's unit has issued tickets several times and it's not our turn."
Feng Yanhong said truthfully: "My family's school ticket happened to be owned by Zhang Fuyu, so he got one."
"Otherwise, people still need to be capable. Our unit's tickets were bought first after those college students."
"Oh, by the way, are you looking for a shop?"
"Yes, I haven't found the right one yet." Feng Yanhong said with a bitter smile.
"My cousin's house has a one-and-a-half-room shop on Xinjie Street not far away. The shop is a bit small. It used to be a shop where fellows from Hui Province made steamed buns, and the business was pretty good."
"But a few years ago, I said that I couldn't come this year because of family matters. I asked my cousin to rent out the shop. Sell the items that can be sold, and throw away the items that can't be sold. No, Aunt Gao thought of you first.
If you want to see it, I will take you there now."
Feng Yanhong was moved when she heard this. It was a half-sized room, about twenty square meters, which was just the right size. It would be great if the location was good.
"Okay, let's go now."
Feng Yanhong took off her apron, greeted her family, and quickly followed Aunt Gao out the door.
The location is indeed good. There are office buildings opposite and a commercial street nearby with a lot of traffic. She had also liked this area before.
When the shop opened its door, it was a bit messy and the glass windows were all sealed. After a visual inspection, the area was a bit larger than she expected.
The back half of the room was occupied before, and the beds and bedding are still there. The space is not big, but it is enough for a small kitchen, and there is room for about four tables outside.
If you tidy it up properly, you can definitely turn it into a small noodle shop.
Just the rent...
Two thousand two thousand a year can be paid half a year.
This is ten times more expensive than her shop in Yincheng!
Really, every inch of land in the capital is precious!
Her own money is definitely not enough. When Li Boshan comes back tonight, she will have to discuss it with him and use family money.
"Sister, don't hesitate. My shop is in a good location and spacious. There are many people who want it."
"If it weren't for my cousin's sake, I could have rented at least an extra hundred yuan this year, and you wouldn't even have to keep the deposit."
"Auntie, you see, I haven't come out with that much money. How about I put down a deposit for you first? I'll withdraw the money tomorrow and then sign the lease contract with you?"
The landlord glanced at Aunt Gao and hesitated for a moment before nodding. "After all, she married into our local area, which is better than renting to someone from another country."
"I've said it first. I'll just wait for you tomorrow morning. If it's late, I'll rent it to someone else."
