Chapter 36 Settle on the pavement
Ruan Xiaodie and Wang Mei glanced at each other, then turned their faces to look at Lu Chuan, turned back to the landlord and said, "Forget it, I'm poor, I can't afford to rent your shop on the street." As he spoke, the landlord rolled his eyes, turned around and went out with Wang Mei and Lu Chuan.
The landlord was about to be angry when he saw Ruan Xiaodie rolling his eyes, closed the door scolding, and spatted at the backs of Ruan Xiaodie and the others: "What kind of thing, if you can't afford it, you dare to show your mother a face." As he was scolding, suddenly Lu Chuan in front turned his face and glanced at the landlord coldly, the landlord was almost frozen by the glance with ice ballast, and turned around and ran away with a smoke.
Ruan Xiaodie noticed Lu Chuan's gaze looking behind her, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" Lu Chuan glanced back at Ruan Xiaodie and shook his head, Ruan Xiaodie didn't ask any more questions when she saw this, and continued to look at the shop with Wang Mei.
I walked along the street for a long time, and I didn't see anyone renting the shop, and when I turned the corner, I saw that there was just one, and the boss was sticking a sticker that said the shop was for rent.
Ruan Xiaodie took a look at the shop, which was not big, but the lighting was quite good, so she stepped forward and said to the boss: "Boss, is your shop for rent?" ”
The boss heard someone calling him from behind, and turned around to see Ruan Xiaodie: "Yes, girl, this business is getting worse and harder." ”
Ruan Xiaodie looked at the deserted customers in the boss's shop, and couldn't help asking, "Boss, why don't you open a rental shop?" The boss shook his head when he heard this: "I won't tell you, girl, I've been working here for more than ten years, only selling wonton and noodles, which is monotonous, and it's useless to rely on repeat customers, but this new customer thinks that I have too few things in this store, and gradually I can't make ends meet." ”
Ruan Xiaodie listened to the boss's words, and secretly decided that she must develop more new products when she opens a store in the future, and must not follow the boss's old path. Thinking like this, Ruan Xiaodie asked again, "Boss, can you let us go in and have a look?" I'd like to rent you this shop. The boss was overjoyed when he heard this: "Of course you can, girl, you can follow me in." ”
Ruan Xiaodie and his party followed the boss into the store, the only two remaining customers in the store just left one, now there is only one person left to eat noodles in the store, the boss led Ruan Xiaodie and others in, this shop is a rectangular passage, can be set up about ten tables for individual customers to eat, the boss took Ruan Xiaodie upstairs, upstairs there are two small boxes, each about six or seven people. There is also a large private room at the very back that can accommodate nearly 20 people.
Ruan Xiaodie looked at the environment of the box, and she was still very satisfied with this shop, so she turned her head to look at Wang Mei, who saw her and nodded to her quietly, indicating that she also took a fancy to this.
The boss is still gushing introducing: "The geographical location of my side is also very good, the right is Yamashita Town, the left is Hekou Town, at the junction of the two towns, although the shop is a little smaller, but the passenger flow is still very good." ”
Ruan Xiaodie was even more satisfied when she heard the boss say that it was between the two towns: "Boss, what do you say about the rent of this shop?" The boss replied: "Girl, you see that the area of my shop is actually not large, although the location is good, but the lighting is not particularly good, plus this is my own house, I am also anxious to get rid of it, I will not ask you for a price." ”
The boss said a lot of useless nonsense, but did not mention the specific rent, so Ruan Xiaodie patiently asked again: "Boss, how much do you say about the rent, I'll take a look and discuss, if it's acceptable, we'll rent this shop." ”
The boss seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Ruan Xiaodie: "Girl, I won't frame you, my shop will rent eight taels of silver a month, and then if you rent it, you will have to pay three months' rent first, and then we will sign and draw a mortgage." ”
Ruan Xiaodie's eyes lit up when she heard this, she glanced at Wang Mei, and then looked at the boss: "Boss, can't you be less?" We sincerely want to rent your shop for at least a year. The boss was helpless: "Girl, my rent is small enough, you go out and see if there is anything cheaper on this street than mine." ”
Ruan Xiaodie ignored him, still pestering: "Boss! Really, if we rent it, we won't rent it for a short time, and then you will save yourself trouble, and you won't have to worry about renting out the shop! ”
The boss was still soft-hearted, and there was no way to pestering Ruan Xiaodie, waving his hand: "I'm really convinced of you, girl, okay, okay, then I'll charge you the rent of six taels of silver a month, and pay the same for three months first, and then let's sign and draw the mortgage, do you think it's okay?" ”
Ruan Xiaodie happily slapped Wang Mei: "Thank you, boss, we want this shop, but do you have to sort it out for a few days before handing it over to me?" ”
The boss nodded when he heard this: "Yes, I need a few more days to tidy it up, so let's do it, you come back in three days, I should be almost tidy up, okay?" Ruan Xiaodie gestured to the boss with an ok gesture, and suddenly remembered that the ancients should not understand, so she spoke: "No problem boss, then I'll come over in three days, you remember to prepare the lease deed!" ”
The boss nodded: "Yes, you guys go back first!" So Ruan Xiaodie and her party went back to get the ox cart and prepared to go back to the mountain.
Ruan Xiaodie on the ox cart said excitedly: "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, I can find a shop this afternoon, God help me!" Wang Mei also nodded when she heard this: "Who said it wasn't, I was ready to look for it for at least three days." "Who says it's not, I'm ready to fight a long war, I didn't expect it to go so well!" Ruan Xiaodie was so excited that she almost jumped up.
Lu Chuan calmly pressed Ruan Xiaodie's body that wanted to jump up, Ruan Xiaodie felt a hot palm pressing on her shoulder, opened it quite embarrassedly, coughed twice in embarrassment, and closed her mouth.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was delicate, Wang Mei shrank her body and pretended not to exist. The three of them walked quietly and silently, all the way back to the mountain hut.
Ruan Xiaodie opened the door and saw the master hired to repair the house busy on the roof: "Master Zheng! After saying hello to him and getting a wave and a smile, Ruan Xiaodie went to look for Ruan Sheng and Wang Hao again, and her eyes wandered around the corner, and sure enough, she found them on the edge of the kitchen.
walked over and touched Ruan Sheng's little head: "What are Sheng'er and Brother Haohao doing?" ”
Ruan Sheng heard Ruan Xiaodie's voice, and happily stood up and shouted, "Mother! You're back! Next to him, Wang Hao also obediently got up and called Ruan Xiaodie: "Aunt Xiaodie." Who knew that Ruan Xiaodie laughed out loud when she heard him say this, "Haohao, you call me Aunt Xiaodie?" ”
