Hongzhu has thought about this restaurant for a time or two, and it is appropriate to mention it now, so he persuaded Zhong with a serious expression: "Second uncle, you and your second uncle have also set up stalls in the south of the city for several years, and the taste of this pasta porridge and water, as well as steamed bread and bean juice, is all fine, which diner doesn't praise it? If you want to do this business for a long time, find a similar shop, and then make this small food more complete, no matter if you have an early dinner, you have the guests who can't catch up to buy and eat, this shop will definitely be like a cloud of customers, and the wealth will be extensive. ”

Zhong didn't talk about this shop earlier, but most of it was just a joke, at this time, after listening to Hongzhu's words, he didn't have any thoughts, smiled, and said: "Your second uncle looks like a shop." And with our little situation, I am afraid that we can't make money from firewood, rice, oil, and salt when we open a shop. ”

Hongzhu heard that Zhong's words were not uttered, so she smiled and said: "Second uncle's words are wrong, who is born to be a big official and a big businessman, not all of them are slowly learning to do it." In my opinion, the second aunt is kind and shrewd, and she looks like a big shopkeeper. ”

Zhong immediately laughed happily, "Really?"

Hongzhu nodded, and continued: "As for the second aunt who said that this battle is small, but small also has small benefits, this restaurant is not as good as a restaurant, if it is bigger, it is really ambitious." Now you rent a small shop to clean up, if you really don't worry, this stall is not busy collecting, try left and right, you can't say that you can spell out a family business, and your cousin will also have a long-term income in the future. ”

The Zhong family was coping with it, but when he heard Hongzhu mention Li Nanxing, the only seedling of the Li family, he really felt a little tempted, and he suddenly thought about it.

The second uncle Li and the Zhong husband and wife are both from Xucheng in the south, and if there is no reason for the people at this time, they are not willing to leave their hometown to live in a distant place. Back then, the Zhong family married Second Uncle Li, and there was no news in his stomach for four or five years, and there was bad nonsense among relatives and neighbors, and they pointed fingers at Second Uncle Li and his wife openly and secretly.

At first, the Zhong family had no children and felt short of breath, but they endured it silently, but because of the early death of Second Uncle Li's parents, Second Uncle Li's brother and sister-in-law actually intervened and spoke, asking Second Uncle Li to either take a concubine or divorce his wife. Zhong couldn't bear it anymore, and quarreled with Li's second uncle and sister-in-law, turned around and went back to his parents' house, only saying that he would leave.

Although Second Uncle Li was honest, he loved his daughter-in-law in the end, so he avoided his brother and sister-in-law from taking private money, so he took the Zhong family to hide in his hometown, and finally settled in Tong'an.

Fortunately, God has eyes, and two years after arriving in Tong'an, Zhong became pregnant, pregnant for ten months, and had a son from Li Nanxing, and now he is thirteen or fourteen. Second Uncle Li and his wife started doing odd jobs, and now they have supported this stall to work, and their lives have been hard. Because they only have one son, Li Nanxing, who has loved him since he was a child, he has been studying at the age of six and wants him to be motivated.

It's just that the Zhong family also knows that their Li family is not from a high background, and they don't have any background in this way of learning, and they earnestly worshiped Cheng Guitang as a master back then, which is also for this reason, but unfortunately they couldn't learn for a few years. Now that the old Xiucai in the school has said that Li Nanxing is a little less transparent and clever, I am afraid that there is not much benefit in learning.

After getting such a comment, Zhong's loving mother naturally didn't like it, but Second Uncle Li could see it, and only said it for a year or two, so he let him drop out of school and find a way. Because of this, Zhong and Second Uncle Li also quarreled, but in the end they still remembered it in their hearts.

Hongzhu only knows a little about these things, but it is definitely not wrong to use Li Nanxing to persuade the Zhong family.

Sure enough, because of Hongzhu's persuasion, Zhong thought that their family of three was like a rootless driftwood person in Tong'an City, no matter whether Li Nanxing was going to school in the future or what, they had to prepare early.

The Zhong family was thinking about it, and Hongzhu also thought about it, not only the Li family, but also the Cheng family. The matter of this shop, Hongzhu is not talking about it for a day or two.

Soon after she arrived, her father died, the family was in turmoil, and the Li family was sick again, so the idea of making a fortune was naturally delayed. But as soon as the filial piety passed last year, the three of them mother and son settled down in the Zhu family, Hongzhu thought that she couldn't sit and eat empty, so she told the Li family in private about making money.

It's just that the Li family has always been cautious and cowardly, because he lived in the Zhu family, he said that it was not good to make trouble, and he thought that Hongzhu and Wen Han were young, where could she support a widow, so he pushed this matter again. Hongzhu thought about Li's body, and then thought about their little capital, no one had no money, so she felt that she couldn't come in a hurry.

Now that he met Zhong's intentions, Hongzhu persuaded him a little more, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from my second uncle, if it weren't for my mother's poor health and bad things, I would like to open a restaurant at home." ”

As soon as Zhong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he had a plan in his heart, "If we can, we can join forces together."

Hongzhu naturally agreed with a smile.

Zhong turned around and discussed with Second Uncle Li. Second Uncle Li is an honest and responsible person, and his mind has never been as active as Zhong's, so he was a little hesitant when he heard this.

Zhong then persuaded: "I would like to enjoy my own happiness, and I will not be prosperous or troublesome." But you think, our Nanxing is fourteen years old, but he doesn't need the money to go to the scientific examination, and his family affairs should look like each other. Look at our stall, such a little wealth, no matter how capable the matchmaker is, he can't say a flower in his mouth, which one can look up to our family!"

In this way, Second Uncle Li was willing. Within a day, Second Uncle Li looked for time to find a shop.

This business of finding a shop is also smooth, and as soon as I ask the tooth shop, I found two of them. The family is also in the south of the city, close to the place where they usually set up their stalls, they used to make pickles, and there are also food shops and groceries on the left and right. It's just one thing bad, this shop is still good, but the two kitchen wings built behind are very cramped, and the tooth line said, this shop costs three taels of silver for a month's rent, and now the deposit is five taels, pay two months' rent first, at least half a year, this calculation, if it is set, you have to take out more than ten taels of silver immediately.

The other one is farther away, but the store is larger, and it was also a restaurant shop before, and he is the only one on the left and right, but it is a unique business. The old tenant has been away from his hometown for a long time, saying that he wants to go out and return to his hometown for the New Year while the year is over, and if he changes to Uncle Li, he is willing to sell the tables, chairs and other things at a discount. The layout of the shop is better than the previous one, and there is a small courtyard at the back, and the Li family can move to live. Second Uncle Li asked the shopkeeper and said that the rent was two taels a month, and the deposit was also two taels, only one thing, it must be a year.

Second Uncle Li came back and had to look at the two places with the Zhong family, but he liked the second one in his heart.

Hongzhu heard this, thought about it and said: "Second uncle, second uncle, the first room is separated from your stall by two alleys. To do this kind of small food shop is not better than a restaurant, you have to look at the people, we are familiar with this part of the south of the city, people come and go, not afraid of bad business, even if the rent is more expensive. And although the rent of the second room is cheap, it will be set for a year, and I heard that the person in front of me has rented it for more than half a year, and now he hurriedly collects the food shop, and transfers the tables and chairs at a discount, which sounds a little strange. ”

Zhong slapped his thigh when he heard the words and said: "Hongzhu's words are good, that person is a businessman, he can live in Tong'an, and now his family is tired here, where he will return to his hometown to farm, the end of this year is the lively time, but he said to go, thinking that the business is dull." After thinking about it, he said: "I look at the only restaurant around there, not a climate, I think there are few diners on weekdays to turn around to find food, if you do it, it will be just a foil from the neighbors, it is not a loss, but just to earn some hard money." ”

After hearing this, Hongzhu felt more and more that Zhong had the ability to do business, and praised her: "The second aunt can still understand it." ”

But in this case, I have to choose the shop with a more expensive rent.

Zhong hesitated for a while, looked at Hongzhu and didn't speak.

Hongzhu was stunned, and her heart couldn't help but feel cold, and she was silent.

But it was Second Uncle Li who opened his mouth and said: "Hongzhu, I said before that we have a joint stock, if you think that one is good, choose that one!"

Zhong Shi paused before agreeing with a smile, "Yes, it's up to you." ”

Hongzhu glanced at Zhong's family, and when she heard her mention the matter of merging shares again, her heart was a little more sincere, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, Hongzhu didn't want to miss it, and after thinking about it, he said: "My family's foundation is really nothing." If the second aunt doesn't dislike it, let's get involved. ”

Zhong pointed at her and scolded with a smile: "You are an ignorant person, how many years have we been friends between the two families, what do you dislike or not? ”

"Naturally, there is a lot of money. Hongzhu smiled, "Second uncle, I should go now, but I have to tell my mother when I turn around." The second uncle took me to see the shop, and I told my mother that I was also particular. ”
