The next day, Song Ercai first took Tong Wencheng to familiarize himself with the matters in the shop, and went out with his hands behind his back after eating at noon.

The fabric shop in the town is in the north and the other in the south, and Song Ercai has recently observed the business of the two families, which is not good or bad, he can't make a lot of money, and he can't starve to death.

Liangyu Cloth Village, which is looking for someone to shop on top, has been open in the town for more than ten years, and its own house, the old couple and a young son look at the shop on weekdays.

This time, I will find someone to change hands, I heard that the youngest son found an errand in the city and left, and the old couple had no energy to get it down, and they were ready to go back to the village to care for the elderly.

Song Ercai came to the door to explain his intentions, and the old shopkeeper heard that he was going to rent, so he enthusiastically invited people in to sit.

Song Ercai has been a shopkeeper in the pharmacy for so many years, and everyone knows each other in the town, this shop is not for sale, but for someone to top, of course, it is better for someone to trust.

The shop in the front hall is not big, only one floor, and the courtyard in the back is good, with a few rooms.

The price offered by the old shopkeeper is not high, and even a little low, but he has a request, that is, to put all the goods in the shop over.

"You also know that this shop used to be taken care of by my youngest son, but now that he has gone to the city to work, my old couple doesn't even have the strength to take the goods, and there is no point in continuing to open it."

Song Ercai nodded: "Shopkeeper, can you give me a few days, notify Humble Jing to take a look, and discuss it by the way." ”

Song Ercai couldn't take a picture of this matter, so he had to find Ah Xiu to come over and take a look.

The old shopkeeper agreed, he trusted Song Ercai and was willing to wait for him.

In this way, the next day, Chang's received a message from the villagers to bring her.

Song Ercai let her go to the town, and she didn't say a word about anything, but Chang had her own conjectures, which must be related to opening a shop.

On that day, Chang not only wanted to go to the town, but also took Ah Xiu with him.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law packed up and were about to go out, when Hong rushed out of the hall.

"You have to go down in the morning, what are you two running?"

This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are really getting more and more excessive, there is no man in the family now, they don't work hard, and they have to go to the street dressed up in fancy clothes, and they really think they are young ladies and wives.

Chang Shi rolled his eyes, turned around with a smile and said, "Mother, Erlang didn't come back a few days ago, maybe there was something wrong." You always take all this money and ask someone to help you, I'll be back in the afternoon. ”

Chang touched seven or eight coins and came out of Saihong's hand, and Hong's immediately changed his tone, frowned, and said: "That's done, don't delay too long, go and go back quickly." ”

"Mother, I know."

Chang Shi turned around and took Ah Xiu away, and she didn't bother to deal with that person if she could solve it with a few dollars.

On the Hong family's side, it is natural to forget if she gets a few dollars, but it is impossible for her to invite someone, at most, let the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the second room go, and come back in the afternoon to continue working.

With Ah Xiu by his side, Chang's didn't save the two copper plates, and took the ox to the town.

The two went to the town and saw Song Ercai waiting at the intersection from a distance.

When the three of them met, Song Ercai probably talked about the top shop, so he took them over to see the shop.

The two fabric shops in the town, Chang's must know, and now they want to go out of this one compared to the other business, only buying fabrics, and not making clothes and jewelry, so now the son doesn't do it, and the old couple won't do it.

Liangyu Cloth Village has hung up the brand of liquidation, and now the shop has not been topped out, and the old couple can sell a little bit is a little bit.

Song Ercai gave a brief introduction, and the old shopkeeper took them to the back.

There is nothing to see in the main hall in front of the business, it is a boxy house, and the backyard is used for people, but it needs to be carefully examined.

Ah Xiu followed and turned around the courtyard behind her, and secretly nodded to Song Ercai.

She thinks this yard is good for early development, three bedrooms for people, two utility rooms can be used for embroidery rooms, and the patio in the middle can also dry fabrics, which is similar to the workshop she envisioned.

Coming out of the shop, Chang took Ah Xiu to the steamed bun shop diagonally opposite, and ordered four large meat buns and two bowls of soy milk.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law opened a meat meal, and Song Ercai came back soon after talking to the old shopkeeper.

"He said that he would take over at the end of the month, and he would give us the rest of the materials at cost price."

Song Ercai poured a few sips of Chang's soy milk and carefully told him about the reception.

The goods that the shop asked them to pass through were the most ordinary cotton cloth, or the linen cloth collected in the village, so that when the shop opened next month, they only needed to make up some better goods.

The rent was also negotiated, 200 yuan a month, and the simple household items in it were not moved, and they were left to use them.

This price sounds small, but in fact, it is like this in these small towns, after all, you can only do some business when you are in the market, and most of them are usually free.

"Dad, you will go back before the end of the month, and I will explain a little more to you at that time."

They don't have enough money on hand now, but it should be about the same time to go into the city by the end of the month.

Song Ercai nodded, holding chopsticks to eat half of the bun Chang left for him.

The matter of the shop was negotiated, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went back soon.

In the afternoon, Chang lied that Ah Xiu was unwell, asked her to stay in the house to embroider a handkerchief, and went down to the ground with the others with the basket on her back.

Just a little girl who bought it back is still so precious, Hong's is dissatisfied, but she only received a few dollars from the second family in the morning, she endured it, and forget it.

Before the end of the month, Song Er returned home, didn't buy anything, and carried a big watermelon in his hand.

It was given by the melon farmers who set up stalls outside the pharmacy to thank them for leaving a space.

Originally, there were two, one was eaten in the shop, and one he brought back.

It was a little late, and a few children from the private school also returned home, and their eyes lit up when they saw the watermelon.

Song Ercai asked Song Tian to take the watermelon to the well to cool off, and everyone shared it after dinner.

Although the Song family has separated, Song Ercai is no longer paying the silver, but the others are still the same as usual.

After the family had dinner, they divided the melons, and Song Er chatted with the old man for a while, and then went back to the room.

Ah Xiu was already waiting for him, sitting under the oil lamp with Chang and Chang, still making embroidery in his hands.

"After this time, you two should take a break."

Song Ercai bolted the door and went to the table to say.

For more than two months, embroidering day and night, it was too hard, especially Ah Xiu, for fear of costing her eyes.

Chang glanced at Ah Xiu and nodded vigorously.

Soon, both of them put down the embroidery bandages in their hands, and Ah Xiu asked Song Ercai for a pen and paper, and wrote an address and a person's name.

"At the end of the month, I went to the city to get the goods, and my father just went to find this trading house. At that time, we will sell what we have to see if the money is enough, and if it is not enough, it will allow the shopkeeper to slow down the payment. The shopkeeper inside is surnamed Xu, and he has cooperated with my family for many years, you just need to say that it was introduced by the Fang family, and he will give the best preferential treatment. ”
