The two walked to the door of the store, and Li Yanqing immediately found a detail, the table wood of the official government is about six feet away from the store door, and the table wood is a piece of wood that the government stands in front of the store, and the stall can only be set up in the surface wood, and cannot cross the line, that is to say, the stall can be set up at the door of the store, and there are five or six square meters of pavement in plain white, which is very good.

The two walked into the store, there were no customers in the store, only a young man was sitting behind the counter and napping, Li Dongdong knocked on the counter, "Qilang, where is your shopkeeper?" ”

"Oh! It's Li Guanren, I'll go find the shopkeeper. ”

The man had a piece of iron on his buttocks, and it took him half a day to get up and lazily walk into the inner courtyard.

Li Yanqing was looking at this rouge shop, the counter was swaying horizontally against the wall inside, next to it was a door leading to the inner courtyard, he looked up again, there was no ceiling on the roof, and he could see the girder and the cone-shaped space, which was covered with cobwebs and dust, Li Yanqing couldn't help but secretly shake his head.

The store is up to 20 square meters, empty in the middle, and there is a row of wooden shelves on the left and right, and the wooden shelves are full of various porcelain jars, with labels on them, foundation, rouge, eyebrow ink, eyebrow pencil, perfume, incense powder, nail paste, etc., and there is no brand, very ordinary road goods.

Li Yanqing was quite interested in perfume, he stepped forward to smell it, and smelled a faint fragrance.

"This is Zhu Luan water, soaked with Zhu Luan with spices, the fragrance is not strong enough, and it can't last long."

An old man appeared in front of the door of the inner room, he slowly stepped forward and said lightly to Li Yanqing: "The best perfume on the market now is rose water, imported from Dashi, even if it is placed in a wax sealed jar, it is still fragrant, and it is sprinkled on the clothes for half a month, it is too expensive, and a big bottle of little finger costs five yuan, and the small store has purchased it, but it is difficult to sell it." ”

Li Dongdong hurriedly introduced: "Yanqing, this is Wan Weng, who is both the shopkeeper and the proprietor!" ”

Li Yanqing saw that he was about sixty years old, of medium stature, dressed relatively simply, with white hair and beard, but his spirit was very strong, and a pair of triangular eyes flashed with an extremely shrewd luster.

Li Yanqing secretly wondered, how could such a shrewd person suffer? He didn't have time to think about it more deeply, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Boy Yanqing, give a salute to my father-in-law!" ”

"You are.... Li Xie Yuan! ”

The old man suddenly realized, his eyes became eager, he is also from Xiangzhou, Xie Yuan in his hometown invisibly made him look up, he hurriedly returned the salute to Li Yanqing, and said cautiously: "I didn't expect to be so young, Li Xie Yuan is estimated to be only fifteen years old, it's amazing!" ”

Li Yanqing's appearance and figure give people the feeling of fifteen or sixteen years old, but no one would have thought that he was actually only thirteen years old, Li Yanqing did not deny it, smiled vaguely, and changed the topic: "I will talk to Dongdong about the store today." ”

"Then please sit inside!"

Wan Laoweng invited the two into the inner room, the inner room is the shopkeeper's room, about seven or eight square meters, the light is slightly dark, there is a small door next to it, Li Yanqing probes out, the outside is a very short corridor, the corridor is 'L' shaped, the middle is a patio, there is a very small rockery in the corner of the patio, planted with two bamboos, the other corner is a well, and the side of the corridor is the shopkeeper's room, and there are two rooms in the inside.

Wan Laoweng pointed to the two rooms and smiled at Li Yanqing: "One inside is where my wife and I live, and the other outside is a warehouse and a man's accommodation, do you want to go and see it." ”

The size of the store area is very important to Li Yanqing, he now feels that the store is very small, at most only half an acre of land, not an acre at all, no wonder it is only sold for 3,000 yuan.

Li Yanqing couldn't help but glance back at Li Dongdong, Li Dongdong's expression was embarrassed, he always thought there was a backyard, but now he found out that there was actually no backyard, then there was not an acre of land, he apologized to Li Yanqing, saying that he didn't see it.

"If it's not troublesome, then let's take a look first!"

"Huh! No trouble, please come with me. ”

Wan Weng took the two of them through the corridor and pushed open a room inside, which was quite large, about thirty square meters, two windows in the north and south, warm sunlight shone in from the window, making the room extraordinarily bright, there was a bed outside, a box next to it was full of sundries, more than a dozen large urns were placed inside, the whole room was fragrant, Li Yanqing suddenly turned his head and sneezed a few times, I really don't know how the guy can stand living in it?

"Next door is where my wife and I live, and the room is exactly the same as here, so you don't have to look at it!"

"Then don't look at it, I already know it in my heart."

Li Yanqing has already estimated in his heart that this store has a maximum of five points of land, that is, half an acre.

"Please!"

The three of them went back to the shopkeeper's room, sat down the guests, the man ordered a pot of tea for them, Wan Weng poured a cup of tea for the two and said with a smile: "The little official seems to be a little disappointed?" ”

"I am not disappointed, every inch of land is expensive here, and I think it is reasonable to sell 3,000 yuan and give away a store."

Li Yanqing's implication is that the sale is not cheap, it is just 'reasonable'.

Li Dongdong couldn't help but ask: "Didn't Wan Weng tell me before that there is an acre of land in the store?" ”

"The store has an acre of land, I won't lie to people, maybe Dongdong is a little misunderstood, it's only half of the store, and half is outside the city."

Li Yanqing and Li Dongdong glanced at each other, it turned out that there was a house outside the city, "I don't know where the house outside the city is?" Li Dongdong is even more anxious than Li Yanqing.

Wan Weng smiled slightly, "Near the Yangjia Wharf outside the West Gate, because it is not near the roadside or the river, it was originally a vegetable field, so it is not very valuable, I bought and built a few grass huts with three hundred guan last year, which are specially used to soak perfume, which can be regarded as a workshop!" ”

Li Yanqing's heart fell, he just felt that there was no front shop and back shop, and he felt a little regretful, if there was a workshop outside the city, then he would be relieved.

"Yanqing, what do you think?" Li Dongdong asked.

Li Yanqing was silent, he took a fancy to the place, the key is the problem of the elements, his father has nearly 4,000 yuan, and Li Dongdong only has 1,000 yuan, and he can only take out 500 yuan at most, buy the store and then repair and open the store, it will cost at least 4,000 yuan before and after, but Li Dongdong has to account for half of the share, although Li Yanqing is not narrow-minded, but this is really unreasonable.

Li Dongdong suddenly understood, he gave Wan Weng a look, Wan Weng understood, got up and smiled: "I'll go outside for convenience, and I'll be back soon!" ”

He got up and went out, and Li Dongdong said: "Don't worry, little official!" I won't take fifty percent, I've already thought about it, the bulk of the money is from your father and son, and I'll be satisfied if I can take two percent. ”

Li Yanqing thought of not only the division of shares, but also the value of the house, now is not the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, in another ten years, the house will not be worthless, he really doesn't want to do this kind of injustice.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Can I rent this house?" ”

"What do you mean by a petty official?"

"This house can actually be divided into two parts, one part is the storefront, and the other part is the house, and I want to take the storefront down and rent the house for a long time."

"But Wan Wen is to buy a house and send a storefront! Renting is not cost-effective. ”

"You don't care about it yet, I just ask, can I?"

"Absolutely! He originally wanted to rent it to me, but after I tried to persuade him repeatedly, he agreed to sell it to me. ”

"Then we will buy a store and rent a house, so that we will still divide it fifty-fifty, and the principal of one thousand yuan is enough, and when we make a lot of money, Dongdong can go to buy a house, and don't rent public housing anymore."

Li Dongdong actually has his own plans, buying this shop, he can divide one, and move the household registration to become the main household, but it makes sense to think about it, what can he do if he becomes the main household, the house in Bianjing is still unaffordable, and the rules for renting a house are still the same as those of customers.

Besides, they spent a lot of money to buy the store, and in the end the house belonged to Li Daqi, but the merchant himself only had 20%, so wouldn't he suffer a big loss.

"Alright! I'm going to talk to Marriot."

Li Dongdong got up and went out, and after a while, he came back with Wan Weng, Wan Weng sat down and said with a smile: "Listen to Dongdong, the little official doesn't want to buy, he wants to rent, right!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "Is it okay?" ”

"Of course, I originally wanted to leave this house to my nephew, and then he came to give us a pension, if the petty officials want to rent, it's best, the next door is a few rented shops, the area is a little smaller than ours, the rent is ten taels of silver per month, I will rent it to you at this price, including the workshop outside the city, the shop involves the purchase of goods, old customers, signboards, inventory, I calculated, about six hundred taels of silver, but for the sake of fellow villagers, I only need five hundred taels of silver."

Wan Weng's eyes narrowed into a slit, "I agreed to this deal for the sake of the petty official Xie Yuan, and now you can't rent this good lot even if you have money." ”

Li Yanqing immediately saw that this old man was shrewd, he used to talk about how much money, but now it has become silver, you must know that one or two pieces of silver is a thousand yuan, and the money has always been only seven hundred and seventy yuan, but there is a lot of price difference in the middle.

However, Li Yanqing didn't want to worry about him anymore, so he smiled faintly: "Then we'll make a decision!" ”

Li Yanqing said to Li Dongdong again: "The rest of the formalities will trouble Brother Dong, I'll talk about it on my father's side." ”

Li Dongdong was really annoyed in his heart, he didn't expect Wan Weng to play himself in the end and turn the copper coin into silver, he had inquired before, the monthly rent of the next few houses was ten yuan, and the area was not smaller than theirs, but it became ten taels of silver when he arrived at Wan Weng.

Although there are a few thatched huts outside the city, it is at Yangjia Wharf, the most remote wharf in the capital, at least eight miles away from the capital, it is definitely not worth three hundred yuan, at most ten yuan, this profiteer is so cunning that it is no different from buying a horse and giving a chicken cub, it is also called buying one and getting one free.

He only now understands that the three thousand yuan that Wan Weng said before must mean a thousand yuan, not the usual money, and he thought that he had taken advantage of it, if he really agreed, then they would lose a lot.

"Alright! I'll do the rest. Li Dongdong glared at Wan Weng fiercely.
