Chapter 34: You Come and Go

The shop under the hundred taels of silver is actually expensive.

The location of that shop is not particularly good, although it is not far from the vegetable market, it is in the alley, but there are few people there. It's just that the shop is more in line with Song Jiu's mind, with a small courtyard. He has also looked at a few shops for so long, it's not that it's not good, but the price can't be discussed. And now he is relatively satisfied with this.

"It's not like we can't take out a hundred taels......" Wan Ge calculated carefully, they could still take out a hundred taels, but after taking them all out, there was nothing left. I have to rectify and rectify the shop, and I may even add a lot of things, not to mention whether it is enough, even if it is enough, it will be very tight.

What's more, the sky is doing it like this, and I don't know what will happen in the future, so I have to keep some just in case.

Song Yu touched his chin: "They are in a hurry to get rid of it, there is probably some leeway, Ming'er, let's go and discuss it with someone again." "That shop may be worth a hundred taels if it is changed to a different location, but it is in the vegetable market, and the shop is not big, and a hundred taels is indeed more expensive.

"Okay, we'll go see it early tomorrow morning."

After watching it for so long, it's really nothing to be able to make Song Jiu say that it is suitable. Now there is not one, if you can decide, it will be the best.

The next day, as soon as the chicken crowed, Wange got up early to cook gruel, and the two of them ate pickles together and finished polishing it. I simply packed up and closed the door and prepared to go to the town, thinking that I would be sitting in Uncle Ma's ox cart sooner.

There was still a hazy moon hanging in the sky, but as the belly of the sky gradually turned white, the moon became less and less obvious. Some people in the village have already gone to work in the fields with hoes or something, so hurry up and do something while it's cool now, otherwise it will be too late to wait until the sun comes out.

By the time the bullock cart arrived in town, it was already dawn, and the shops in the streets were open. The stalls selling breakfast are even more full of people, the owner of the noodle cook is standing in front of the stove sweating profusely, the hall is running the hall and greeting the guests for a while, and the sitting diners are chatting with you and laughing.

Evening Song hadn't been to town for a long time, and was overjoyed by the thriving scene.

Seeing the happy look, Song Jiu simply slowed down his pace: "Do you want to go shopping again, it's still early anyway." ”

Wan Ge said forget it, it's not too late to get down to business first and then take a slow stroll, otherwise she owes something in her heart, and she always thinks about it.

She just watched the excitement and had nothing to buy. Seeing this, Song Jiu didn't say anything, and led people to the front of the store.

Because it hadn't been sold yet, the couple still opened the store as usual to do business. As soon as the two stepped into the door, a strong sour smell wafted over, and it smelled quite fragrant.

Only the old man was guarding the shop, and the people looked like they were about sixty or seventy. He was not tall, thin, with gray hair and a slightly rickety back. Seeing that it was Song Jiu, who had come yesterday, the yellow, black, yellow and black wrinkled face grinned, and asked him if he came!

Song Jiu hmmed his whole life, and then asked why he was alone today? Isn't Grandma there?

"She's cooking in the back!" Saying that, the old man brought a stool to the two of them and asked them to sit: "Have you thought about it when you go back?" ”

The old man gives people a very kind feeling, not like the snobbery and calculation of some businessmen.

When asked about Song Jiu, he didn't beat around the bush, and bluntly said that he went back to discuss it with his family, and he felt that the shop was good, but the price was a little high.

The old man shook his head and said, "One hundred taels is actually not expensive, and there are few like me in the town who need more than one hundred taels." ”

Song Jiu didn't rush to bargain, but just pointed out that although the shop was good, the store was not big, and he couldn't do any big business. And the location is not particularly good, although it is next to the vegetable market, but there are not many people coming and going. It is true that there are more than 100 taels of yards like this in the town, but it also depends on what location it is.

Needless to say, the location is good, it must be expensive, but the location is not good, but it is far from worth it, even if it is a loss. The old man didn't say anything unhappy when he heard it, but said that they had been running the shop for more than ten years, and if it weren't for his son's insistence on taking them over, they wouldn't have sold the shop for anything.

People are nostalgic for the old, especially the elderly.

Song Jiu also understands that it's one thing to not understand enough, and bargaining is another thing.

"Uncle Song, we are also sincere in discussing with you. To tell you the truth, if we had so much silver, we would have decided a long time ago, and we wouldn't be here to talk around. After a pause, Song Jiu continued: "You have also seen that God is doing this now, and I don't know what the situation is this year, and everyone is worried. If we can discuss this shop, we will decide it today, if not, we can only say that we may not be able to get along with the shop. ”

He is quite satisfied with this shop, but it doesn't have to be this shop, if it really can't be discussed, it can only be forgotten.

Uncle Song didn't rush to answer when he heard this, but just looked at the old shop, as if he was thinking for a long time before he spoke: "That's it!" Let's take a step back, and the shop won't talk about this price. However, we will leave you with items such as tables, chairs, benches, and beds in the store, so you don't need to buy anything at that time, so you will save a lot. ”

The old Song couple have lived for so many years, and they have also added a lot of things, and it can be said that all the things they need for life are complete.

If they don't take it away and keep it, they will indeed save some money.

It's just that some years have passed, and there are many objects that are worn out badly and are far from worthless.

It is better to keep those things, it is better to cut the price to buy new ones, because Song Jiu did not agree to Lao Song's proposal but directly gave people a price of eighty taels, he didn't want those things, Lao Song could move them all away or sell them.

"Uncle Song, if you think it's appropriate, I'll go back to get the silver immediately." Song Jiu said without hurry, looking indifferent, as if he was not in a hurry to ask for this shop. If it does, it will be a good thing. If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter.

Wan Ge looked at it and admired it, if he were to be himself, he would definitely not be able to do something like Song Jiu, even now he felt nervous when he watched it.

When Lao Song heard the price, he immediately shook his head and waved his hand and said, "This is not good, you have cut so much at once." Can't sell, can't sell. ”

Twenty taels is not a small amount, Song Jiu cut so much in one sentence, what kind of line is this!

Seeing this, Song Jiu didn't say more, just asked Lao Song to think about it, and if he felt that he could, he would call someone to go to the village to inform him.

After speaking, Song Jiu turned his head and said to the evening song: "Let's go!" ”

Although the business did not succeed, Uncle Song still got up and sent them out, and watched the two walk away before slowly turning around and entering the store.

"Old man." Grandma Song lifted the rag curtain and walked out: "How is it?" Is it negotiated? ”

She didn't hear it very clearly when she was cooking in the back, and she didn't come out because she thought about going out halfway for fear of repercussions, so she didn't know if it was okay in the end.

Old Song shook his head and said that Song Jiu was only willing to give out eighty taels, and he pressed twenty taels of silver.

"Eighty taels!" Grandma Song was also anxious: "Which of other people's shops like ours doesn't sell more than 100 taels, how can they sell so hard." ”

Their shop is not a big loss, they can only do some business that sells small pieces, and they can't do big business, but they are too crowded like noodle restaurants or something.

Otherwise, the location is a little worse, and it is more than this price.

"yes!" Lao Song sighed, and he was also worried, but he really couldn't get rid of eighty taels.

Song Jiu pressed the price too much, otherwise he could still be talking.

"So what now?"

It wasn't long before my son came to pick them up, and it would be a bit of a hassle to talk back before they had finished the store.

"Let me think again." Lao Song raised his hand and asked her to leave these things alone, eat first, and he would consider the rest.

Grandma Song opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say more, and only lifted the curtain to serve the meal.

The mood of the evening song out of the shop is not much different from that of Grandma Song.

"Are we really going to leave like this?" She trusts Song Jiu, but she doesn't understand it.

She just took a look, the shop is not close to the vegetable market, and it can't do anything else, but it suits them. After all, selling braised meat, pork does not take up much space, and it is completely enough for now.

And there is a yard at the back, and the two of them will eat and live directly on the shop in the future. Think about the scorching summer and the cold wind in winter, and Song Jiu will not have to go back and forth to suffer crimes.

"It's more expensive, you can talk about it again."

Song Jiu simply explained to Wan Ge that the shop he estimated to be about ninety taels, and the reason why he bargained for eighty was just to give the two sides room for negotiation. Otherwise, if you say ninety taels directly, you may have to talk about it more than ninety taels, which is troublesome.

"And what if they don't agree?"

"Then look again, there are so many shops, he won't be the only one to sell."

said so, but the face looked sure that Lao Song would come to the door, and he was in his chest.

Just like Song Jiu showed, he was optimistic about the shop, but he didn't have to ask for it, but Lao Song had to sell it.

He didn't buy it, the big deal was that he had to wait a few days, it was very hot in the past two days, and there was no business, he could afford to wait. Lao Song couldn't afford to wait, there were very few people who asked for the price in his position, and even fewer who sincerely wanted to buy.

This is also why Song Jiu suddenly seemed not in a hurry.

"Don't think about that." Song Yu raised his hand and rubbed Wan Ge's head, looked at the sun in the sky and said, "I haven't been shopping for a long time, let's go around today to see if there is anything to buy and then go back." ”

The two of them went to the more lively Nanshi Street, which is the most lively place in the whole town except for the vegetable market.

Why do you say that, it's because there are a lot of things to eat, play, and sell to my daughter's family on Nanshi Street. Looking at the past, it was all crowds, and there were too many people.

Song Yu walked from the street to the end of the street with the evening song, and the things sold in the stall were dazzling.
