Chapter 363 Dock Shop
Sure enough, Yinqiao replied to Chunyu on the second day, saying that he agreed, but asked why Chunyu didn't want to open a snack bar in the town.
Yinqiao said that the flow of people in the town is also okay, the main thing is that the shop pΓΉ is also cheap and can be bought directly, and you can also go home to live.
"I didn't expect that when it comes to doing business, Yinqiao's sister-in-law is also quite proficient!" After hearing this, Chunyu thought about it carefully and felt that it was good, so he asked: "Actually, I just saw that when I came, I didn't find out how prosperous this town was, and many people here went out to work, and there were not many people left in the town." For those who come and go from the pier alone, I'm afraid business won't be very good. β
"I don't know, this is about to reach the peak of Cao Yun, many merchants from the north and south are going to transport goods, and some of our goods here are also going to be shipped out and transported to the north. So we're here between April and August, which is the busiest time. If you can open a snack bar in Putou, it will be more affordable, and only those dock workers will continue to eat every day. Hearing Chunyu's question, Yinqiao hurriedly said.
"......" Chunyu heard this, and immediately thought that her family had opened a new store at Moshan Wharf, which had just opened, and it was almost about to catch up with the turnover of the old store. Besides, it is only a small county town, but it is one of the main wharves outside Gusu City, although it is not big, it is much more prosperous than Moshan.
"It's just...... It's a dock, and we don't have a man to help, wouldn't it be inappropriate? Chunyu had some concerns.
"It's okay I used to ...... Well, I can dress up as a man, and it's always better than in Gusu City. Yinqiao said again.
Chunyu is a little strange, why does Yinqiao reject Gusu City so much, is it really just because he is afraid that those who are looking for trouble will recognize it, or is there something else hidden? But although they have been together for a while, they are also more familiar, but people have their own unspeakable secrets that they don't want to say, so why shouldn't she. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you get along well.
Now that the decision has been made, then an action-oriented person like Chunyu is naturally very positive. Just waiting for breakfast to be finished, Yinqiao went to the town's embroidery workshop to deliver embroidery work, and they went to Putou.
In fact, although the town is not close to the shop, it is said by taking the main road, which is the pipeline of Gusu City, and it is naturally spacious and bright, so you can't go to those narrow places. Therefore, after the Spring Rain and the others first came here, they were unfamiliar with the place, so they had to hire a carriage and sit for two quarters of an hour before arriving in the town. In fact, it is far away, and it is very far away.
There is a bluestone path behind the town, and at the end there is an arched bridge, and after the arch bridge, there is a two-person wide embankment path, on one side is a wide lake surrounded by the high guardrail of the big stone pier, and on the other side is a high lakeside embankment, and there are many small flowers and vines with unknown names.
The townspeople walk here to get to the pier, saving more than half the distance, and it's only a quarter of an hour to walk.
Chunyu and the three of them walked in front, while Yinqiao and her son Xiao Mo walked behind, talking and laughing along the way, and arrived at the dock after a while.
At this time, although it was only just after the hour, the wharf was already very lively, and many migrant workers had already started to work. And Chunyu they came here to see if there were any empty shops for rent or sale, and by the way, to see what food was sold here.
After a closer look, I found that there are several restaurants, but there are no snack bars, and some are just some temporary shanty stalls, which only sell some oil cakes, fried cakes, wontons, noodle soup and the like.
"Why doesn't anyone open a snack bar other than a restaurant? Don't these migrant workers eat? How much money they only have a day, they must be reluctant to go to the restaurant to eat. Chunyu said with a sigh.
"The girl doesn't know, where are these part-time workers willing to buy food, they are all baked cakes brought by Cong's own family, and then bring a kettle, just make do with it." At this time, Yun Xiao on the side suddenly said, but there was some loss in her tone, and Chunyu hurriedly patted her shoulder comfortingly.
Chunyu later learned that Yunxi's family was quite well-off, and many of the family's lands were also prosperous, but unfortunately the flood later ruined her family and caused her family to die. As for Yun Xiao, she has no mother since she was a child, she and her younger brother are taken by her grandmother, and her father is going to work as a coolie on the dock, so he knows about this situation. Later, like Yunxi, he became an orphan because of a natural disaster.
"My family also opened a food stall at the pier at the beginning, but because they didn't have the money to open a shop, they could only push a small cart, and they couldn't even build a shed. However, the big stewed vegetables and braised pork sold by my family are the most suitable for these migrant workers to eat, and they are affordable and cheap, and they are almost full for five cents. Chunyu said with a smile.
"Just eat for five cents? Can you make money? Yinqiao, Yun Xi, and Yun Xiao were all surprised.
"Naturally, I can, the braised pork is made of pigs sold cheaply on the pork stall, and the crispy meatballs in the stew are also fried with a little minced meat and noodles, and the rest are worthless materials, and a big bowl of five cents is also a steamed bun, which is naturally the appetite of these workers." Chunyu said, but thought that the southerners have a light taste, and I don't know if I can eat spicy food? It would be even more perfect if the stew was topped with some spicy food. So he asked, "I don't know if you people here eat spicy food?" β
"It's also food, we are humid here all year round, and it's better to eat chili peppers once in a while." Yinqiao said with a smile: "You said that this big stewed dish is okay for me, plus some other snacks, it will be hot." β
"yes, there are also crystal shrimp dumplings, xiao long bao, tofu flowers, oops, I'm going to drool when I think about it." Yun Xi said on the side.
"It's also delicious, and there are soup dumplings, spicy soup, and ......," Yun Xiao also said, also looking drooling.
"Aunt Xiaoxi, Aunt Xiaoxiao, are you talking about delicious? It sounds like Xiao Mo wants to drool too. Xiao Mo also said on the side.
"Look at your appearance, okay, just wait for us to open the store as much as possible, and then let you feast on it first!" Chunyu said with a smile.
Of course, they hadn't forgotten their business, and finally after a long time at the dock, and after the spring rain was almost tired, they found a shop to sell.
It's just that the location is a little remote, and it's very close to the river, and the door hasn't been opened for a long time, so the doors and windows here are already a little dilapidated.
And the door was not locked, and no one answered when they shouted a few times inside in the spring rain, and at this time, the shopkeeper of the grocery store on the side came. He was about fifty or so thin, but he looked kind.
"How many of you want to buy a house?" The shopkeeper pointed to the sale notice posted on the door and asked.
"Yes, uncle, is this your house?" Chunyu hurriedly asked. (To be continued.) )
