Chapter 6 How Are You?

After separating from Chai Yu, Zhao Weiji and Zhao Xin began to look for a shop again. But I can't find the one that suits my heart, either the location is wrong, or the shop style is not good, or the rent is wrong. In short, I found nothing, and went around the street for an hour.

Just when they were about to give up, Zhao Weiji saw a shop with a rental sign outside the door, which was quite in line with what he thought. The first is to have a good location, right east of the West City Centre, with plenty of potential traffic. In addition, there is a bathhouse next to the shop, and a large number of people will feel thirsty after taking a bath, so such people are the best potential tea customers. There are also a series of women's commodity shops, cloth shops, garment shops, rouge shops, etc., about 150 steps west of the shop. Zhao Weiji, who came from later generations, knew how much spending power the female surname had and how much she was shopping, and when they walked along the West Market from west to east, they saw a tea shop, and it was very likely that they would choose to come in and rest.

The second attraction to Zhao Weiji is the structure of this shop, first of all, the façade is the upper and lower floors. It is very in line with Zhao Weiji's idea of preparing tea and tea to sell together. And from the side, there is a large enough yard behind this shop, which can fully meet the needs of Tun tea, and the dried tea and the fried tea are in the same place. It can save a lot of trouble. Generally speaking, the rent of such a good shop is generally not cheap. But it is rare to see such a favorite place, Zhao Weiji really doesn't want to give up. So he went in.

"Shopkeeper, are you renting out this shop?" Zhao Weiji, who had just entered the door, asked loudly.

"Yes." A female voice came from inside.

"This voice is so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere." Just when Zhao Weiji was still pondering the voice, a woman walked out from behind.

"How are you?" The woman looked at Zhao Weiji with some surprise.

"I said why is the voice so familiar, it turned out to be you, Chai little lady. We're really fated to do it. Zhao Weiji couldn't help but be happy when he saw that it was Chai Yu who had been helped by him in the market before. It seems that this little lady is the landlord of this shop, so it is possible to get a discount in terms of price. ”

Just when Zhao Weiji was still thinking about it, Chai Yu on the side spoke again: "Do you want to rent me this shop?" ”

Somehow, Zhao Weiji always felt as if Chai Yu was a little bit of a dike for him, but he replied without thinking about it: "Yes, I am going to do some small business and want to rent this shop." We also have a bit of a friendship, how about I be cheaper? ”

"Who's got a relationship with you. You are a royal nobleman who also wants to come out to do a small business? Chai Yu asked sarcastically.

It turned out that this shop was only obtained by Chai Yu yesterday, and the deed of the purse that was lost before was here. She is also going to come over to see the shop today. Originally, she wanted to open her own store, but her existing industrial capital turnover was a little difficult. It's just that the location of this shop is really good, and she doesn't really want to make a move, so she set up a sign to rent it outside.

Unexpectedly, the first person who was interested was actually this Zhao Weiji. Chai Yu really didn't want to deal with the people of the Zhao Song royal family, because Chai Yu's father was Chai Zongxun. Chai Zongxun is the son of Chai Rong of Later Zhou Shizong, that is, the little emperor who was usurped by Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty. Although Song Taizu ordered to treat the descendants of the Chai family well after ascending the throne, due to the early death of his father, Chai Yu still had a disgust and vigilance for the Zhao and Song royal families in his heart.

"Isn't it that the royal family has no surplus food, and there have been frequent wars in recent years. The treasury is tight, and the housekeeper is not having a good time, let alone the royal family on my side. Although Zhao Weiji didn't understand why Chai Yu was sarcastic, in order to be cheaper when the price was negotiated, he still answered Chai Yu's question honestly.

"Oh." Chai Yu snorted lukewarmly.

"Chai Niangzi's shop has been rented?" Zhao Weiji asked.

"Not yet." It's still a cold answer.

"Then you can show me around, I'm very interested in your shop." Although Zhao Weiji was a little unhappy with Chai Yu's attitude, he endured it for the sake of paving.

Hearing Zhao Weiji say this, Chai Yu could only lead their master and servant to the upstairs and backyard. Although she was very reluctant to rent the shop to the Zhao Song royal family, the Zhao Weiji in front of her had grace and herself, and the deed of this shop was the one he helped to find, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it.

After a while, Chai Yu took Zhao Weiji's master and servant to visit the entire shop. This shop is even better than Zhao Weiji imagined, not only the front façade is two floors, but the courtyard at the back is large enough, and there are three bungalows, just one for storing tea, one for the guys to sleep, and one for the kitchen. After seeing this, Zhao Weiji strengthened her determination to rent it, so she said to Chai Yu: "I am very satisfied with this shop, how much is the rent?" ”

Chai Yu didn't expect Zhao Weiji to make up his mind so quickly, and he didn't react for a while, so he said one by the way: "Fifty a month." After saying that, she regretted it, because the average price of renting out this piece of house is only thirty-five times a month, and fifty times is really more. But then she was relieved, in case this price scared him back, it would be better, and she didn't want to rent it to someone surnamed Zhao.

"Fifty?" Zhao Weiji was really taken aback when he heard this price, because he had turned a lot of shops outside today, and the average was only thirty or forty times, and fifty times was really a bit high. But he really liked this shop, so he decided to get close to Chai Yu again, in case it could be cheaper.

"Chai Niangzi, fifty times is too expensive to try, can it be cheaper?"

"Just fifty times, not a penny less." Chai Yu was scared off when he saw it, so he decided to make the conditions a little more harsh: "Not only is fifty yuan indispensable, but you also have to pay three months' rent in advance, and if you want to move out, you have to tell me two months in advance, so I can make the next arrangements." ”

Chai Yu thought that the conditions were harsh enough, and even Zhao Xin next to him couldn't stand it, but the only obstacle to such conditions for Zhao Weiji from later generations was rent, as for what kind of prepaid rent, moving out to greet the landlord in advance and the like were commonplace in later generations.

"I can agree to your conditions, but can this rent be cheaper?"

"Young Master." Zhao Xin on the side was about to remind Zhao Weiji, but he stopped him.

"You see, I've helped you anyway, although I don't know why your attitude has changed so much after learning my name and identity, but even if I report it with Entu, you have to cheapen me."

"This ......." Chai Yu was a little speechless for a while, and then she thought for a while, as if what the other party said also made sense. After all, the other party has kindness to himself, and although Zhao Kuangyin usurped his father's position. But the person in front of him is not very old, and it is not good to be angry with him. And it's really a bit excessive, such rent and conditions are a bit harsh.

"Since you have been gracious to me, and have agreed to other conditions, then I can't embarrass you about the rent anymore. The rent is changed to 30 per month, but it is necessary to pay 4 months in advance. ”

"Four months is four months, thirty months a month, okay, don't change again, and you can't take back the store for no reason, if you want to take it back, you have to tell me a month in advance." Zhao Weiji couldn't help but be a little excited when he heard that the rent had dropped to thirty a month.

"Although I am a woman, I also know the truth of honesty in business, and it will not change after thirty times, and I also admit your other conditions."

"When will you sign the contract?"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow you and I will find a guarantor to come over and sign a contract."

"Find a guarantor to sign a contract tomorrow, no problem."

"Since it's not a topic, then why are you still staying here, I didn't have a banquet to entertain you." After seeing that everything was negotiated, Chai Yu unceremoniously issued an eviction order.

"Oh, then I'll go, I'll come back tomorrow." Zhao Weiji was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he turned around and asked Chai Yu a question: "After you heard my name and identity, your attitude immediately became a lot colder, do you hate the Zhao royal family?" Why is that? ”

"Your surname is Zhao, my surname is Chai, think about it yourself." After speaking, Chai Yu blasted Zhao Weiji's master and servant out of the store, and then took back the rental sign and closed the store.

"Surname Chai? Surname Zhao? Is there any enmity between these two surnames? On the way back, Zhao Weiji was still muttering Chai Yu's last sentence on the side. Surname Chai? Later Zhou Shizong Chai Rong? Could it be that she is a descendant of Chai Rong? No wonder I hate the surname Zhao. But think about it. Anyway, the lease has basically been negotiated, and she doesn't want to be a no-shower looking at her. So Zhao Weiji put this matter behind him and returned to the house.

The next day, Zhao Weiji asked Zhao Xin to find a guarantor, and then went to sign a contract with Chai Yu, and successfully got the right to use the shop. Then he began to renovate the pavement. First of all, the front façade has been renovated, and the interior decoration is much more elegant, and five or six tables have been set up downstairs, and three or four tables have been set up upstairs, and two private rooms have been separated. He then converted the three bungalows in the backyard into a warehouse, a bunk bedroom, a kitchen, and set up many shelves in the yard for drying tea. Eventually, he built four earthen stoves for stir-frying tea.

After the basic decoration was completed, he found someone to make a plaque, and the words were mentioned by himself. He didn't even think that his body had written a good book. So he wrote it himself: Zhengshan Tea, and asked Zhao Xin to make a plaque and hang it in front of the door.

After the store is basically renovated, it is time to start thinking about recruitment, although the chef in the house has studied the roasted tea to a good level, but it is definitely not enough to rely on the personnel in the house. So Zhao Weiji began to think about recruiting people from outside.

On this day, when Zhao Weiji was thinking about how to ensure loyalty and protect the secret recipe of roasted tea for the people he recruited, Zhao Wu came in and reported that it was a man and a woman from outside the door.

Zhao Weiji's eyes couldn't help but light up, because the person he was waiting for was here.
