Li Yihe's father and daughter originally thought it was a small courtyard to enter, but they didn't expect that this was a shop facing the street.

Although it is not the main street, it is surrounded by some shops, and it is located in Xicheng District, where rich people live, which is also a good location in the county seat.

They stood in front of the façade room and looked at it for a long time, this shop is now rented out, and the wooden plaque hanging on the door reads Cui Ji Dried Fruit Shop.

Li Xiaoran said happily: "Daddy, in the future, our family can also open a shop by ourselves, which is much more cost-effective than renting it out." ”

Li Yihe said with a smile: "How can it be so easy to open a shop, our family has no manpower, and there is no ......" He just wanted to say that he had no capital, and then he remembered that his family was no longer the poor and white Li family a few days ago.

"Let's go take a look first, let's talk about opening a shop later, our house is too far away from the county." Li Yihe has never had this idea of moving to the county seat, it is not easy to live in the city, like their village family, no matter how bad the year is in the countryside, there will be no starvation to death.

The wild goose returns to the mountains and is full of treasures, so you don't starve to death if you pick anything.

I didn't see that Ye Changsheng's family was no worse than the people in the city, and he would rather travel such a long way to deliver food to the county, rather than move to live nearby.

Li Yihe took his daughter's hand and entered the shop.

The shop is still very spacious, five meters long and wide, opposite is a slippery counter, on which are placed all kinds of candied fruit, and a row of shelves are set up on the side, on which are nuts produced in the mountains, like some melon seeds, pine nuts, walnuts and the like. Seeing the two of them come in, a young woman beckoned, "What do you want to buy?" The preserves in our store are all pickled with fine fruits, and the guest officers are free to take a look. ”

Li Xiaoran smiled and said, "Auntie, we are the new landlords of this house, I don't know if the Gu family told you." ”

When the woman heard this, she hurriedly said, "I said it." This is Master Li, Gu Fu came yesterday morning to talk about this, and the little woman thought that you would be able to come over yesterday. She was very surprised, she had been renting this shop for four or five years, and the people she came into contact with were all kinds of people, but it was the first time she had seen a landlord who was so poorly dressed, and she didn't know whether this house was sold to him by the Gu family or rewarded to him.

Anyway. She also has a three-month lease remaining. She hopes to renew the lease, so she has to build a good relationship with the new landlord.

"The little woman's husband's surname is Cui, and Master Li calls me Cui Niangzi." Cui Niangzi said. grabbed a handful of dates and stuffed them into Li Xiaoran's hand, and said with a smile: "These dates are sweet, you can taste them, those restaurants in our county sell our goods." ”

Li Xiaoran's brows jumped. The dates were sticky and greasy, and she just grabbed them with her hands. So that the original desire to taste it was gone.

When she looked up and saw the woman looking at her flatteringly, she knew in her heart that this woman must want to continue renting this shop. will be so sincerely afraid, bent on pleasing them.

She reached out and took a candied date, pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you, auntie." ”

Cui Niangzi saw that she was so polite at a young age. I really like this girl in my heart, and my smile is really good. He put down the dates and said, "I'll take you to the back of here!" ”

Li Yihe hesitated, after all, this is the back house, and he is afraid that it will not be good in the past!

Cui Niangzi Xu saw his hesitation, and said happily: "It's okay, my man is behind, let's go, we little people, how can there be those big families." ”

Li Yihe was secretly ashamed in his heart when he heard this, he thought too much, and he didn't have a woman yet.

Li Xiaoran glanced at the candied dates in his hand, the purple-red dates seemed to be wrapped with a layer of crystal crystal, which looked sweet and pleasing to the heart. This look is the best dates, she put the dates in her mouth and tasted them, and nodded constantly, this taste is indeed good, no wonder these candied fruits can support her to open this shop.

She followed her father and looked at the shop, which had side doors on both sides of the inner wall, but now it was blocked, and the woman explained: "There are three shops in total, this one is not large, and next to it is a pen and ink shop, about four meters long and wide, which was rented out by my man." The largest one over there, six meters long and wide, now has a restaurant and shop that sells to the students of the academy in front. ”

Li Xiaoran was very interested when she heard this, and asked, "Auntie, is there still a academy here?" ”

Cui Niangzi said: "Yes, there is a academy in front of it, and the county school is not far from here." ”

As soon as Li Xiaoran heard that this place was very close to the county school, the idea of opening a shop immediately died down, this place is so close to Li Yiyuan's place of study, forget it!

Li Yihe frowned when he heard this, and the two followed the woman out of the back door, which was a courtyard only two meters wide, and a main house in the back north.

Cui Niangzi said: "This yard has grown fifteen meters in total, and now it is all built, and it belongs to the people who opened the shop to live in the same way as this house." ”

Although this yard is a little cramped, it is separated from the shop after all, and there is nothing wrong with it. There are two main rooms in the back, and Cui Niangzi didn't mean to lead them in, but just introduced: "I opened a small food shop here, specifically to receive nearby students." ”

Between the two main houses is a passage, along the aisle to the north, is a spacious yard, and the previous cramped environment is different, here is very open, there are two pear trees in the yard, paved with bluestone slabs in the middle, the original garden on both sides, has been opened into a vegetable field.

It turned out that there was a cave behind this courtyard. And the north side of the courtyard turned out to be a big blue brick house, which made Li Xiaoran like it very much, and when he got home, he asked his father to buy land, and he built such a big blue brick house at home, so he no longer had to live in Uncle Ye's house.

Cui Niangzi explained: "There is also a back door here, we don't often go on weekdays, and we all go from the other end of the shop when we have something." ”

"you, who's here?" With the sound of talking, an old man in his fifties came out of the main room, who seemed to be in poor health, and coughed a few times when he took a step.

Cui Niangzi saw that she walked towards him quickly, and said angrily: "It's windy outside, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Xiaoran looked at them with wide eyes, this is really an old husband and a young wife, Cui Niangzi looks at it at thirty-two or thirteen years old, and her man's age can be her father.

"This is the new landlord, Mr. Li, I will bring them over to see this yard." After Cui Niangzi finished talking to her man, the man introduced himself: "Master Li." The contemptible person's surname is Cui, and the single name is a single word, so Master Li can just call me Cui Li. ”

Li Yihe clenched his fists and shouted, "Brother Cui." In his heart, the other party is the same age as his father Li Laoshi, even if he doesn't call him uncle, he can't call him by name. At the end of the day, he didn't think it was a big deal that he was rich. He himself is the same as these ordinary people who are struggling to make a living.

Cui Niangzi said: "Master Li." Let my husband accompany you for a walk, I'll go back to the shop first. Li Yihe said: "Sister-in-law Cui, please." Cui Niangzi hurriedly returned to the front shop. Cui Li accompanied Li Yihe to walk around the courtyard, and then led him into the blue brick house behind to take a look.

Cui Li looked at him. Carefully discussed: "Master Li, we have been here for three or four years, if we can, I hope Master Li can still rent it to us." ”

He took out the lease book and showed it to Li Yihe. Gu Fu came to say hello on purpose, but he didn't have the courage to deceive them.

Li Xiaoran leaned over and took a look. With such a large yard and three shops, the rent is only thirty taels a year, while the other two can be rented out for twenty taels a year, which is really cheap.

Li Yihe doesn't see it that way. Renting it to one person and taking care of it by them will save a lot of trouble for your own house. If you want to say that you have any thoughts before, I heard that Li Yiyuan's county school is near here. He also lost his mind.

That ruthless and unrighteous big brother, the farther away the better.

Besides, a small business, removing the capital, can have dozens of taels of silver a year, and a lot of shops are used to chew, and it is very good to have a balance of more than a dozen taels of silver.

Since Cui Li still wanted to continue renting, he simply signed a three-year lease with Cui Li, and made it clear to Cui Li that he didn't want others to know that this house had changed, and if anyone inquired, he would only say that it was still the Gu family.

Cui Li agreed, the two sides negotiated amicably, and seeing that it was almost noon, he simply left Li Yihe for dinner.

Li Yihe said: "Brother Cui, I won't eat the meal, let's come to Japan for a long time, and there will be opportunities in the future." We don't live in the county, so it's not easy to come here, and we have to buy some for our family. ”

In fact, Li Xiaoran reminded him just now that it was almost noon, those students had left school, and I heard that many people were eating at the restaurant near here, and there were many students in the restaurant next to it every day.

If Li honestly knew that their family was so rich now, maybe they would have the cheekiness to ask them to take on the responsibility of supporting Li Yiyuan's family.

It had only been a few months since the kraft candy had been thrown off, and she didn't want to get another piece with them.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the two left, there were many students bustling around here, and the business of the restaurants was booming all of a sudden, and even the two main houses behind the Cui Ji dried fruit shop were all students who came to eat.

And two of them, one big and one small, Huo Ran is Li Yiyuan's father and son.

"Cui Niangzi, what are you going to eat today?" Most of the students who come here are all included meals, lunch is ten cents, one meat and one vegetarian, plus three-way noodles steamed buns, most students from medium-sized families will choose here or some other smaller restaurants.

"Today there is a stew of dried beans and a soup of potato strips." Cui Niangzi's daughter and son helped her run the restaurant, but they didn't have a listing, and they were all targeting nearby students.

"It's all these again, I've eaten enough." Li Xuewen muttered dissatisfiedly, he was very envious of those classmates who could go to the big restaurant to eat big meat, but since the second uncle's family was separated, his school ties and food expenses were all provided by his aunt, and it was impossible for him to eat as well as before.

"Xuewen, how many times has my father told you, we are here to study, not to squander. Besides, what's wrong with this dish, now when the green and yellow are not available, where do you ask Cui Niangzi to conjure up so many green vegetables for you, many people don't even have potatoes and dried vegetables at home! Li Yiyuan said with a straight face.

ps: Haha, Baidu is really easy to use, go up and check that it is ctrl plus z to restore fù, try it sure enough, it's really good.
