The rent of the shop rented by Dong Xiaoman was six taels of silver a year, and now the price of a similar shop is twice the price.

Xiaohu means that then buy a big shop, and open a big restaurant in the future. But Dong Xiaoman didn't think so, she thought about the real estate business in the future.

Big houses are not as easy to sell as ordinary houses, and since the prices are about the same, why not buy a few more small shops, and it will be more convenient to rent in the future.

There is not much broken silver in Dong Xiaoman's hand, but it is still enough to spend a few months. The two hundred taels of silver hidden in Dong's mother can be regarded as handy at this time.

Dong Xiaoman was afraid that he would be too honest and let the Zhang family smell any opportunity to take advantage of, so he asked Xiaohu to find a tooth guy who specializes in this business to help.

The tooth in this era is similar to the intermediary of later generations, and Xiaohu found an honest and trustworthy and kind tooth man surnamed Sun who has a good reputation.

Sun Yayu was brought to Dong Xiaoman's house by Xiaohu, and told Dong Xiaoman about the current experts here, Dong Xiaoman didn't expect that he could pay back the price further.

After Sun Yayu's introduction, Dong Xiaoman chose a few shops with good corners: a wine shop with a small face in front of the store, but it is not small inside, and there are many wine jars that can be stored; A pastry shop has been opened, and the ingredients, tools, and stoves in it are all available, which is also what Dong Xiaoman wants; A restaurant has been opened, there are more than a dozen tables in it, the stove is clean, the cook is ready-made, and there is a small backyard for the host's family to live in.

Among the many shops, Dong Xiaoman chose these three. It's not far away, and the farthest is just two streets. Dong Xiaoman still likes the shop in the academy, because although Zhoushan County is not particularly big, it is still very concerned about children's education in terms of folk customs.

There are three or four academies on that street, and the shop that Dong Xiaoman rented at the beginning was opposite one of the academies that was not too big and not too small.

Such a good location, this is a school district, and it is very convenient for children to go to school when they grow up in the future.

Hearing that Dong Xiaoman inquired about that piece, Sun Yayu smiled and said, "Grandma wants to buy a shop there to sell the four treasures of the study?" The big shops over there are not worth much, but the small ones are very expensive. ”

Dong Xiaoman was very surprised, could he have opened up in the dark after crossing over? Want to buy a shop that is cheaper than others? Is this the welfare of the traversers? Then it is inevitable that I have suffered so many sins before and encountered so many superlatives?

When Dong Xiaoman was thinking nonsense, Ding Yayu saw Dong Xiaoman's thoughts and said with a smile: "Grandma doesn't know, those places in the academy are full of scholars running around all day long. Scholars don't have much money in the first place. Where can I buy anything? Therefore, the clothing shop, rouge shop, wine shop, and grain shop are not very prosperous. It's this small shop that sells a baked cake, steamed buns, and side dishes, and it's good, I heard that last year a couple opened a shop selling what barbecue bibimbap is very popular. But then the woman went home and gave birth, and the shop was not so prosperous. This year's food has risen sharply, and now every shop is not very good. ”

Only then did Dong Xiaoman understand that under the same circumstances, the cost of a small shop was lower than that of a large shop. Dong Xiaoman asked again: "There are many scholars from the countryside, do they come to study to live in the academy?" ”

Ding Yayu shook his head: "There are so many places in the academy, most of them are not far from home, and they are only a few hours away. Those who are too far away will stay with relatives. Either rent a house and live in a bad family, what else can you read! ”

Dong Xiaoman had an idea in his heart, it is not as cost-effective as a small shop to buy and rent out a big shop. If you open a student apartment like the one in the future, you can eat and live for a month and collect money.

Dong Xiaoman thought about it and hurriedly asked: "Is there a better house near the academy, although my child is young, he will have to go to school in the future." Now that the house is cheap, it's not bad for me to buy a house while I'm in this stall. ”

Ding Ya Yu Ha Da laughed and said, "Grandma is a shrewd person, but the houses around here are not cost-effective. Grandma might as well just take down the big shop on West Street, which is a famous shop in the vicinity. The front face is very large, it was originally a restaurant, but unfortunately there are too few people who come to this area to eat. There is a big yard at the back. ”

Dong Xiaoman frowned and said, "Even if you split that restaurant into a few small shops, it's okay to rent it." Why doesn't anyone buy it? Still some of them said, you can't coax me. Ding Yayu hurriedly waved his hand: "Wronged, that restaurant is dilapidated and old, and there are still some homeless homeless people living in it." I used to open a kiln before opening a restaurant, and people with a little status were reluctant to buy it. ”

Dong Xiaoman understood at this time, and asked embarrassedly: "If I buy it from a woman's family, will I be said a few words?" ”

Ding Yayu shook his head and said, "That's okay, this thing is like the house that was beheaded by the raider." Those who have no money look at the cheap, and those who have money feel unlucky. ”

Dong Xiaoman nodded. Turning his head to Xiaohu and said, "It's inconvenient for me to be a woman, you go and follow Ding Yayu to see the shop." Take a closer look, and you'll be in charge of how much money you have. ”

Although Xiaohu has big shoulders and a round waist, a tiger head and a tiger brain, after all, he is there for many years, and he has grown a lot with Dong Xiaoman and his wife in the past two years, and he is a lot more knowledgeable and shrewd, but he doesn't dare to make really big decisions.

In the past, he went to inquire to see the market and follow Erlang, or he did a small business. This time it's to buy a big house, and if someone cheats someone or something in the future, I can't say it.

Seeing Xiaohu's hesitation, Dong Xiaoman said with a smile: "Although you and I are aunts and nephews, we are indeed sisters and brothers, I believe in you as if I believe in Xiaogang." Be the master, and rest assured that I am in charge of everything. ”

Xiaohu followed Ding Yayu away, and after about an hour and a half, Xiaohu came back with Ding Yayu.

Xiaohu said: "I see that shop is good, there is no big damage." It's just that the tables, chairs and benches in it are unusable, and there are many beggars and homeless people who are too dirty. ”

Ding Yayu immediately said: "If someone is willing to buy it, the owner's family will naturally drive those people away." It's just that this price can't be allowed, and the master's family means that there is no sixty taels that must not be allowed. ”

Dong Xiaoman frowned, the price of forty taels is not cheap, if you buy it, you still need to build some beds, tables, chairs, benches, plates, bowls, etc., it is also a big expense.

Xiaohu looked at Dong Xiaoman distressed, and after thinking for a long time, he leaned into her ear and didn't know what to say. Dong Xiaoman's face softened and agreed to take the shop down.

Ding Yayu didn't expect Dong Xiaoman to be so happy, and he bought four shops in one go in just one day.

The four shops all signed the sale and some also got back the deed and the title deed, Dong Xiaoman smiled bitterly in his heart: The two hundred taels of silver cost half of it. “

None of the three shops in front of him were five or six taels of silver that Dong Xiaoman originally envisioned, they were all good shops, at least eight taels of silver.

The three shops cost a total of thirty taels of silver, and the latter one cost sixty taels of silver. In addition, the big house in the back has to be cleaned up and it will cost ten taels or eight, Dong Xiaoman felt very painful for the first time.

Fortunately, Ding Yayu is a businessman, Dong Xiaoman handed over the information about the rental of the shop to him, and if someone rents it in the future, he will only be hired, and no one knows who the owner of the road is.

The big shop he bought in the back is something that Dong Xiaoman wants to build carefully, and he wants to open a student apartment, so I don't know if he can succeed. Dong Xiaoman thought about it, and if he could do it, he had to give it a try. Even if you lose it, it doesn't matter, just lose the dozen taels of decoration fees after blisters.

Next, Dong Xiaogang and Wang Xiaohu had something new to do, and began to decorate the house according to Dong Xiaoman's requirements. This shop was originally the prototype of the restaurant, and behind it were various rooms divided into upper and lower floors. Dong Xiaoman did not change the layout of the room, and simply cleaned up the places that should be repaired, made up the places that should be repaired, and repaired them.

The original restaurant already had a sky-shaped room, a ground-shaped room, and a herringbone room. Dong Xiaoman changed the Tianzi room into a single room for master and servant, the ground room into a double room, and the herringbone room into a four-person room. The upstairs of the restaurant was converted into two rooms, one was converted into a chase shop, and the other was changed into a study room.

The layout inside is fresh, and the Chase Shop is all made of new wood, and it is a single bed layout. Toiletries such as basins and towels can be placed under the bed. There is a small table between the two beds, which provides students with their stuff.

The Chase Shop can accommodate a total of 12 people, with six quadruple rooms, four two-person rooms, and two single rooms. Dong Xiaoman calculated that all of them were at most forty-six students, and it was impossible for them all to live in.

Xiaohu Xiaogang during the renovation period, there are beggars and homeless people who live here, and everything comes to take a look at the liveliness.

Xiaohu Xiaogang didn't say anything when he looked pitiful, and after the decoration was completed, Dong Xiaoman thought of something. That's the need for administrators, Xiaohu is in charge, leaving two honest and helpless old couples.

These two people don't have any requirements, as long as they provide food and shelter, they are willing to sell themselves. Dong Xiaoman looked at the two old men who were in good health, but they were a little malnourished and agreed.

Dong Xiaoman downstairs in the restaurant thought about it for a long time and changed it to three parts. Leave a part of it as a hall, there is a door to the backyard, there is a staircase leading to the upstairs, and the original counter is also retained, and the place where the wine is placed is placed with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., to provide students with occasional needs, of course, it is also a source of income.

changed a room to be used as a room for the old couple, and Dong Xiaoman asked the old man to be a husband and an old lady to be the caretaker to take care of the children's daily life. In addition, a large room was changed, and Dong Xiaoman deliberately made bookshelves, thinking that it would be used as a library for children in the future. RQ
