Chapter 6 Storefront

The next day, Li Ran got up a little late. After planning yesterday, he didn't fall asleep all night with excitement, but when he wanted to sleep in the second half of the night, his baby son didn't want to sleep, crying and making trouble, he had to wrap himself tightly and hug him, but he didn't cry anymore, he couldn't let it go anymore, and he cried as soon as he put it down.

Li Ran tried his best, but it was useless. So his lovely big baby son was in his arms and smirked at him for more than three hours before he fell asleep, and to be honest, he really felt that he had a silly son.

For the first time since rebirth, the biological clock failed, and I slept until eight o'clock before I was called up by vanilla to eat, a simple steamed porridge side dish, a typical northern breakfast. After eating, Li Ran said to Vanilla and rode out again, but today he was not wandering around without a goal. He thought about it for a long time last night and felt that he still wanted to open the store in a more prosperous area with a larger flow of people, so today he planned to go to West Chang'an Avenue where he went yesterday.

Riding all the way, it is a unique feeling to look at the old streets on both sides of the road that are different from the high-rise buildings of later generations. Passing through the streets and alleys, asking all the way, several of them said that they could rent the rent and it was not expensive for two hundred and a month, but they were too small, and they asked until the corner of the street to meet a suitable three-story shop facing the street, and they wanted to rent out for three hundred and forty months, and asked for a one-time payment of three months' rent, Li Ran did not hesitate much, and directly wrote a simple contract with the boss, and agreed to hand over and pay tomorrow after signing.

It turned out that the boss was making lamps and lanterns, and the decoration was very good, but the lamps and lanterns that came in were not bad, but too expensive, but no one bought them, although the store was their own, the cost was not high, and finally the lamps and lanterns were disposed of at a low price, and they did not lose much, mainly because they were decorated in order to show their own things, and they were specially installed with four ceiling crystal lamps, and the results were cheap Li Ran, but to be honest, Li Ran decided to rent it because he liked his decoration.

The visual effect caused by the light emitted by the crystal lamp on the bright floor is called a beautiful one, and when the time comes to put it on the TV, it will look like a high-grade land.

After negotiating with the boss, I found a restaurant outside for a meal, and only then did I know that this person was not an ordinary person. The boss's surname is Ye Zimu, 42 years old, and his ancestors are Beizi of the Qing Dynasty and Guerjia, one of the eight surnames of the Manchu Dynasty.

Ye Zimu is not only a nobleman, but also has a thick family background. During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, there were eight shops along Chang'an Avenue, which belonged to his family. However, after liberation, it was confiscated by the government, and it was only a few years ago that it was returned along with the family's house, but there were no more than eight rooms, and only this one remained.

Boss Ye is a good talker, and the two talked about the geography and customs of Yanjing from the storefront, and then talked about family life while chatting. He is a miserable, difficult period, because of the bad composition of the family and was sent to the farm, often criticized, and then his wife couldn't stand it and left him and his son and ran away, he could only raise his son alone and difficult. Fortunately, my son was admitted to a good university, and now he is staying in Fengtian to work after graduation, and he has returned his ancestral property here.

Li Ran couldn't help but sigh that the world is unpredictable, this old brother is also a sad person, but he is a little better in comparison.

The two chatted about falling in love and getting a little closer to each other. Just drank a few more glasses. After eating, it was still early, and it was only past 1 o'clock. Ye Zimu pulled Li Ran to take him to visit his house, but Li Ran couldn't screw it and followed.

Ye Zimu's house is on the Xisi side, and it is a few streets away from Prince Alcohol's mansion. In fact, just by the location of the courtyard, you can see that the ancestors of the people are not ordinary wealthy families, you must know that there are several palaces in this territory, not to mention the distant Prince Yi's Mansion, and the nearest ones are the Alcohol Prince's Mansion, Prince Gong's Mansion, Qingwang's Mansion, these larger palaces, and other prince's mansions, county palaces, and Baylor mansions are countless, so the statement that Yanjing is rich and rich in the west is not groundless.

When you arrive at the place, the courtyard gate is second only to the Guangliang Gate of the Palace, there is a wooden frame on the middle pillar on the higher pedestal, and the vermilion lacquer gate is installed in the frame; there is a space of half a room in front of the door, and the beams are all exposed, so it is called the Guangliang Gate.

The courtyard gate was so shocking, and when he walked in, his eyes lit up even more. As soon as you enter the door, there is a shadow wall engraved with unicorn moire, only this one moire shadow wall opened Li Ran's eyes, and then passed through the corridor and entered the weeping flower door to the east and west wings on both sides of the second courtyard, and the two jujube trees on the left and right in front of the main house in the middle of the main house, looking at the ear rooms on both sides of the main house are connected to the verandah, and the back cover room behind the main house, Li Ran didn't look at it, because these are not the most attractive to him.

What really shocked Li Ran and even envied him was the garden located at the back of the east wing, passing through the verandah into a courtyard, and then entering a small pond with a rockery in the middle, and a bluestone path on both sides of the garden. At that moment, Li Ran told himself that he must buy such a yard in the future, and it would be worth spending more money for today's amazing if nothing else.

In fact, if you don't deliberately ignore the clutter that can be seen everywhere in this yard, the few bags of coal piled up in front of the wings, and the vegetables grown in the garden. This courtyard doesn't seem to have much to look at, but it's just a little larger, but you notice that the moire carvings on the pillars, corridors, and door panels everywhere, as well as the brick carvings on the eaves, all show the demeanor of the family, and people have to be admired.

"Brother Ye, your yard is really amazing!" Li Ran said without concealing his love for this house. "It's not bad, hey, if I didn't have any money in my hand, I would have renovated the yard a long time ago, and it would be really good to look at it then!" Ye Zimu touched his chin, and his pride was overflowing. Li Ran responded in a distracted manner, thinking that sooner or later he would have to buy a yard. Then he smiled bitterly, thinking about the big yard before he even solved the problem of livelihood, and he really didn't know what to say.

After visiting the courtyard, Li Ran followed Ye Zimu into the main room, looking at the whole set of rosewood tables and chairs, as well as the rosewood bookshelves and desks in the ear room, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, the prince of his hometown in his previous life had a string of rosewood bracelets, which were said to be worth tens of thousands, but they were everywhere here, and he was powerless to complain after listening to Ye Zimu say that there were several rooms rented out, and there were a few shelves and beds in the back room.

After visiting the room and sitting for a while, talking about the store, Li Ran said goodbye to Ye Zimu and went home.

When I got home, the two children were still awake, and Vanilla was watching. Seeing Li Ran come back, Vanilla stood up and said hello, after two days of getting along, the two of them have become familiar with each other, Vanilla usually doesn't talk much, and she is not very old, but she is very smart, and she is diligent and diligent, which makes people feel very relieved. I heard that studying in school is very good, but it is really difficult at home, and Li Ran also feels sorry for vanilla, if he continues to read, he will definitely be promising.

Li Ran teased the two children in the room for a while, and then went to the cabinet in his room and found a suit, which was given to him by his grandmother, when he was still young, it was customized according to his grandfather's figure, but it was custom-made by a master tailor who specialized in making clothes for national leaders, and it was worn by his grandmother when he wanted him to get married. It's just that I don't have to think about it for a while now, after all, I still have two children.

The reason why he took out this outfit was because he wanted to go to TCL's sales manager tomorrow to talk about regional sales. That's right, Li Ran wants to win the sales rights in Yanjing, and even the sales agent in the entire North China region, so he has to prepare how to persuade the other party, and on some image issues, he doesn't want to be looked down upon. Sometimes, I have to admit that judging people by their appearance is a common problem in this society, and no one can avoid it. In this life, he is only 22 years old, and although he looks a little more mature after being polished by the army, he still inevitably gives people the impression of being young and unreliable. So you have to rely on some other things to improve your external image.
