Chapter 311: Choosing a Shop

A gentle breeze blew, bringing coolness.

"Aren't you his sweetheart?"

As soon as she heard Ye Xiaoyu's words, Wang Yue's face instantly turned red, she didn't answer, but lowered her head by default.

"Ahem......"

Ye Xiaoyu suddenly realized that she was still wearing men's clothes, and a man asked such a question to a strange girl, saying that it was as inappropriate as it was, and quickly coughed lightly, trying to alleviate his rudeness just now.

"I can promise you not to report to the official."

Seeing Wang Yue's appearance, Ye Xiaoyu had no interest in selling Guan Zi again.

"Really?"

Hearing this, Wang Yue'e raised her head, and her eyes flashed.

"Well, but we don't have a lot of money to put in him, if everyone else reports to the official, I guess ......"

Ye Xiaoyu inexplicably wanted to comfort her.

"I know."

It is estimated that she had expected such a result a long time ago, and the light in Wang Yue's eyes dimmed again.

Ye Xiaoyu has always firmly believed that nothing in this world is unswerving, and the reason why some people can get along with each other is just a habit or the result of no better choice. Once there is another way out, it is the right way to fly separately when disaster comes.

But looking at the person in front of her, she was a little loose about her concept, maybe some things are not as absolute as she thought, right? Fake Ling Yu told so many lies and cheated so much money, and in the end, spending time in prison was deserved. In fact, he should be happy, no matter how much money he cheated. How many people hate him, but there is one person who always thinks of him, although it will definitely be useless in the end, but it is already a blessing for a person to live for a lifetime and have someone who thinks and worries.

It's just that there are many people who often don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings.

Although I was trotting all the way and sweating in the heat, when I returned to the teahouse, it was still time to get off work. There are no more guests in the lobby. The other guy has also gone home, leaving only Lu Tiangui alone...... Oh, and the junior officials, sitting in the empty lobby and not knowing what to talk about.

"I'm not embarrassed. I came back a little late. ”

Walk in. Ye Xiaoyu smiled embarrassedly.

"Xiaoyu. You're finally back, why did it take so long, is it the landlord who makes it difficult for you to raise the rent? ”

Lu Tiangui was a little worried.

"It must have snuck out to play."

The petty official maliciously helped on the side.

"It was the landlord who went out. I waited there for a long time. ”

Ignoring the words of the petty official, Ye Xiaoyu said.

"That, Brother Lu, I've been out for too long in the afternoon, you can just deduct my salary directly at that time, anyway, the total salary is not much, so as not to let others gossip."

The petty official on the side was about to speak, but after listening to Ye Xiaoyu's words, he closed it again.

"Brother Lu, that fake Ling Yu has been caught, can I get back the money I was cheated of?"

The junior official didn't pay attention to Ye Xiaoyu anymore and continued to chat with Lu Tiangui.

"It's hard to say, I don't know if there is any money left on the fake Ling Yu, if there is any left, the yamen will definitely take out the money and return it to you, if there is no money, then it is estimated that you will not be able to get it back."

Lu Tiangui said.

"But he is now locked up in prison, and when he goes to court, he will definitely be sentenced heavily if he cheats so much money, which can be regarded as another way to vent his hatred."

"That's true, but those are my hard-earned money, and all that money is gone all at once......"

"It's okay, keep the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood, you are still young now, and you will be able to earn it back in a while." The most important thing is that now that the crook has been put in prison, he has been duly punished, and he can no longer come out and cheat money everywhere. ”

Lu Tiangui and the junior official were chatting.

Ye Xiaoyu stood next to him for a while, feeling a little bored.

"Brother Lu, then, I'll go first."

While the sky was not too dark, Ye Xiaoyu wanted to go to the market to see the market.

"Xiaoyu, let's have dinner together? What to do first? ”

Lu Tiangui is as enthusiastic as ever.

I don't know if he saw the face of the junior official opposite who instantly turned black, anyway, Ye Xiaoyu saw it, and she didn't want to eat with them at all. And she has other plans for today.

"Well, no, I want to go shopping for a while before it's dark, I haven't been shopping for a long time."

Ye Xiaoyu really hasn't been on the street during the day for a long time, and she lives a tired life in a teahouse all day long, and she is about to lose touch with this world.

"Shopping?"

When these words came out of Ye Xiaoyu's mouth, Lu Tiangui was still a little surprised.

"Okay then, we'll eat at the restaurant in front later, and if you're okay, come over and come along."

Ye Xiaoyu smiled and nodded in agreement, and walked out of the teahouse quickly.

Seeing the little girl selling flowers that day, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly had an idea that she might be able to open a small dessert shop here. Don't ask her what the connection between the two is, Ye Xiaoyu can't figure out how her brain circuit can be so impermanent.

There is everything on the streets of Rongzhou City, and there are a lot of shops selling all kinds of pastries, but there are no Western-style pastries in them. Ye Xiaoyu had learned to make zuò Western-style desserts in her previous life, and she had made small cakes many times by herself when she was in Quanxiu Village, so she opened such a novelty shop here and bought some desserts that looked "delicious and attractive", Ye Xiaoyu felt that this should be a feasible business.

Selling desserts requires raw materials and shops, the raw materials are mainly flour, eggs and some other ingredients, just go to the market to buy it, it is not too difficult to find. The first problem in front of Ye Xiaoyu now is to find a suitable shop.

There are many shops with red paper pasted on both sides of the street for rent or sale, but it is not so easy to find one that is suitable in all aspects. is too close to the city center, the price is too expensive, Ye Xiaoyu can't afford to rent; The distance is farther, the price is cheaper, and the flow of people is small, Ye Xiaoyu is afraid that it will not be long before it will be closed.

Walking around, swaying, after a while, the sky began to darken.

According to the price of shops on the market in Rongzhou City today, Ye Xiaoyu does not plan to take it into account the remoteness of the northern district, and the southern district is full of prisons and yamen, so it is naturally not suitable for doing business, except for these two places, the prices of shops in the eastern and western districts are not cheap. Especially in the eastern district, a shop of less than 20 square meters, the price is more than 1000 taels, even if it is rented, the rent of a year is more than 100 taels, if it is simply rented, Ye Xiaoyu can still afford to rent, but she doesn't understand now whether her business will sell well here, if she rashly spends a huge amount of money to rent such a shop, if there is no business and can't continue, it is not a waste of more than 100 taels in vain.

The location of the West District is relatively close, and the price of the street shops will be relatively cheap, but the rent for a year is also fifty or sixty taels, but fortunately, the shops are all on the street, and there will be no fewer pedestrians passing by, Ye Xiaoyu feels that the West District is her choice.

After making up her mind in her heart, Ye Xiaoyu walked into a dental shop on the street, wanting to see if there were any good shops in the West District to introduce.

Because it was night, there was basically no business in the tooth shop, only a middle-aged man was cleaning in the shop, as if it was time to close.

"This son, is there anything I can help you with?"

Seeing Ye Xiaoyu walk in, the middle-aged man put the broom in his hand behind the door and greeted him with a courteous face.

"I want to rent a shop."

Ye Xiaoyu said.

"I want the streets of the West End."

"Childe, the timing of your arrival is just a coincidence, I just have a street shop in the West District to sell, I don't know how old you are?"

The boss is very skilled in business and casually leads the topic to the main point.

"It doesn't need to be too big, just a small shop in a single room."

Ye Xiaoyu replied.

"Well, then I've got a good one here, and it's not expensive. If Childe asks for it, I'll be cheaper here. ”

The middle-aged boss said with a smile.

"If it's bought, how much will it cost?"

Ye Xiaoyu asked, she still has more than five hundred taels of silver on hand now, if the price is not too expensive, she can consider buying one directly, which can be regarded as an investment.

"300 taels, the shop is said to be small, but in fact it is not too small, if the layout is well planned, it can also be divided into two rooms, and the location is also on the side of the street in the West District. The reason why it was sold was because the owner of the house owed a lot of money to someone else, and he wanted to change hands quickly and get out of here. ”

Seeing that Ye Xiaoyu seems to be a cheerful person, the boss also tells the truth. In fact, the most taboo thing is to conceal the facts, as a person in the middle, integrity is more important than anything, once the lie is recognized, then there is basically no need to do it in this industry. Even if you want to do it, no one will come looking for it.

"Huh?"

The look on Ye Xiaoyu's face was a little hesitant.

"Will anyone come to the door to make trouble after I buy it?"

This is a good opportunity, and Ye Xiaoyu plans to take the opportunity to lower the price.

"Childe, you are too worried, the management of the yamen here in Rongzhou City is very strict, and we have to go through the proper procedures for buying and selling, after you buy this shop, go through the procedures, it is yours, no one dares to come and mess around."

Seeing that Ye Xiaoyu was a little shaken, the middle-aged boss hurriedly added.

"Otherwise, it's late today, I'll come back tomorrow, you can also take me to the shop by the way, and I'll make a decision then."

Ye Xiaoyu originally wanted to bargain, but considering that the actual shop was not seen, there was no point in bargaining, in case he was not satisfied with the shop by then, it would not be a waste of time today.

"Okay, then I'll wait here tomorrow for Childe to come."

Seeing Ye Xiaoyu say this, the boss was a little disappointed, but there was nothing he could do, after all, it was already night, and it was reasonable to propose to go to see the house tomorrow.

"Okay, I'll be back tomorrow morning, oh yes, I don't know what the boss is called?"

Ye Xiaoyu asked casually.

"Your surname is Wu."

Boss Wu replied.

"Then Boss Wu, we'll see you tomorrow." (To be continued......)
