Chapter Ninety-Six: Finding
"The location of this shop is the best, the old couple who rented this shop before, the business of selling dry goods is also very good, and the son has a profit, so he will go back to enjoy the blessings. The owner of the shop didn't want to take care of it, so he thought about continuing to rent it out. "The person who speaks is called Li Yazi.
In modern terms, tooth people are intermediaries, they are the people who match between buyers and sellers in order to obtain commissions. It is also called Yazi, Yalang, and Yayu.
Fan Wenlan, Cai Meibiao, et al., "General History of China", Part 3, Chapter 2, Section 5: "The tooth people solicit sales, negotiate prices, negotiate with the government and merchants, and sometimes make the tooth people come forward. ”
In the Western Zhou Dynasty, this kind of intermediary was called a hostage, and in the Western Han Dynasty, it was called a puppet, and finally after the Tang Dynasty, it was called a tooth person.
The earliest job of the tooth man was to complete the transaction process smoothly for the buyer and seller in the city or village market, and to extract commissions from it.
Later, with the continuous development of commerce, the types of Yaren trade also became diversified, such as joint trade, solicitation of sales, acceptance of commissions, business on behalf of others, and collection of merchant taxes, etc., and the guarantee role of Yaren in contract sales and credit trade was also very important.
The informal individual tooth discipline is generally referred to as "brokerage". Some tooth people with certain professional experience specialize in matching transactions for certain types of goods. The dental store provides information and venue for buyers and sellers, and the place where the transaction is matched and the commission is extracted, that is, the office of the tooth person.
The shop that Li Yazi found for Tang Shiyu is located in the downtown area of East Street. This shop has just been surrendered, and Tang Shiyu is destined to catch up, so it may not be there soon.
There is an attic at the top of the shop and a courtyard at the back. The yard is not small, and the space inside is quite large, with three rooms in the main house and three side rooms on the left and right sides.
Tang Shiyu's heart was a little moved, but she knew that the rent in this location was not cheap. If the rent is too much, her petty fight is not interesting at all, and there is not much left after paying the rent, which is equivalent to being busy in vain.
"I wonder how much this rent is?" Tang Shiyu secretly prayed in her heart that it should not be too expensive, but her prayers didn't seem to have any effect.
"Ten taels, but you have to rent it for three months at a time." Li Yazi also felt that this price was a bit expensive, but the owner of the house set this price, and he couldn't do anything if he wanted to match this business.
In fact, he was quite depressed, because the rent of this shop was seven taels before, and suddenly it rose to ten taels. He also didn't understand what the owner of the house thought, did he want to rent it out, or didn't want to rent it out?
He wants the business to be successful more than anyone else, and there must be a lot of commissions in the middle, and this order is done, at least his family can live a good life for two months.
"That seems to be a bit expensive!" Tang Shiyu frowned slightly, this price is not low! She has inquired about the prices of shops around here, and the similar ones are only about eight taels.
There were no empty shops to rent to her in other places, and she had to rent this one if she wanted to open a shop in this prosperous area. Except for this, she can only go a little farther, but that is not to her liking.
"But the business of the shop is good! As long as you do business here, it's not bad, let's rent a good shop, isn't it just for a better business! Li Yazi racked his brains and said good things from it, he was afraid that the business would be yellow, and he would lose money and make money.
"Can this rent be cheaper? I've inquired about the price here, and the rent of this shop is significantly higher than the others. Tang Shiyu prefers this shop, but the rent makes her unacceptable, she doesn't want to be slaughtered like a wronged boss.
"I can't be the master of this, it depends on what the owner of the shop says." Li Yazi looked embarrassed, met a homeowner who suddenly increased the price, and met a tenant who knew everything. Sandwiching him in the middle is like a sandwich biscuit, unpleasing on either side.
"I know it's embarrassing for you, if it's convenient, can I meet the owner?" The price is not set by Li Yazi, even if he wants to be cheap, he doesn't have the power.
"Okay" Li Yazi happily agreed, anyway, the two sides will meet when they sign the contract, but they will see each other early and late.
"Try to hurry up, if it doesn't work here, I'm sorry for you to help me find it again." It was the first time she had dealt with Li Yazi, but she felt that the other party was doing things quite safely.
It's a good thing not to bother the two families, even if this shop doesn't work, it's not Li Yazi's problem. Besides, it's impossible to find a suitable shop here without spending money.
"Today I'll help you ask the owner what he means, and tomorrow I'll give you an answer. If it really doesn't work, I'll find it for you again, don't worry, this Tongguan County doesn't know who I am Li Yazi. Li Yazi saw that Tang Shiyu spoke simply, patted her chest and assured her that she would definitely handle this matter.
"Thank you very much!" She had to find a place to stay as soon as possible, and that small courtyard was still a few days away.
I found it here, and I had to be busy planning and buying things, and I needed to get a lot of things, but there was not much time left for her.
Li Yazi didn't promise Tang Shiyu anything more, but he made up his mind in his heart that he must keep this customer. With her current potential, is it too early to buy a house in the future?
In this Tongguan County, who doesn't know the family members of Tang's braised pork, they are young, courageous, courageous, and skillful. It's been less than a month since he came here, and not only has he gained a foothold in Tongguan, but he has faintly become a figure that cannot be underestimated.
Whether she asks him to buy a house in the future, or something else, the icing on the cake is indeed beautiful, but it is not as beautiful as the charcoal sent in the snow.
On the other side, Tang Shiyu didn't turn around, but planned to go back, she was worried along the way. In the final analysis, it's because she doesn't have much money now, and if she has a lot of money, she can buy a shop directly, and she doesn't have to rent someone else's.
Otherwise, one day one of them is unhappy and lets them leave, the shop is not rented by them, and they have no reason not to leave, so she really hates this kind of precarious life.
She probably guessed that why Granny Qian drove them away must be because of Qian Shuang'er. Because she took into account that it was not easy for ancient women to survive, she was a little more polite to that Qian Shuang'er, but who knew that she caused such trouble.
Thinking of this, she frowned slightly, but she didn't expect that she would also have a time to provoke peach blossoms. But this kind of rotten peach blossom is a woman, if you have a little brother, you can also feast your eyes!
But her sexuality was so correct that instead of rejoicing, she was angry. Has she spent too long here and learned to be good?
She had a deep cold war, and she didn't want to be that kind of person. Good people don't live long, and the scourge lasts for thousands of years, and she wants to be the worst villain in the world.
