Chapter 144: Shopping
Ye Feng wanted to go over and say a few more words to Xia Li, but with so many people in the courtyard watching, he had to endure it. Thinking that his grandfather is coming here soon, he will definitely urge him to find a daughter-in-law to marry sooner, and I feel bored in my heart......
Waiting until dusk, Xia Li said goodbye to them and returned to the house. This time, Liu Changzhao didn't dare to leave a bear to rest in his yard.
Xia left them and returned to the small courtyard, and Xia Shan was still here. Hearing that the Xia family agreed to live here for a long time, Xia Li and Xia Ju were happy, and several people discussed buying a house on Dongrong Street.
Dangdang also understood that his sister would have a new home here, and if she wanted to live here for a long time, she would move in and never be separated again. It happily ran to hug Xia's leg and arched her with its head, making Xia's laughter for a while.
As soon as breakfast was finished the next day, Ye Jin came.
Today, I want to go to the street to play, clean up the Xia Li family, Zhu Er's family and Dangdang go out together.
Zhu Er's family hugged the bear, and Xia Li held a small package with snacks. I didn't dare to take a bear to the street, for fear that it would be frightened, and I was afraid that it would scare people, so I had to entrust it to Mama Hua who was looking at the east door.
Xia Li and they often play in this area, and the bear that everyone likes is already very familiar with Mama Hua.
Mama Hua liked the bear very much and happily hugged it.
Xiong Xiang was about to cry, Xia Li said, "There are many people, horses, and cattle on the street, and they will all stare at you, are you willing to go?" If you want, come with us. โ
Thinking about those who didn't know, Bear shrugged his nose and shook his head.
A few people and a dog went out of the east side gate, and there was already a carriage and a few guards waiting here.
On the road, Xia Li lifted the curtain and looked outside, the houses were good and bad, most of them were dirt roads, and there were also a few bluestone paved roads, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, some were busy, some were idle, and there were a few beggars, and occasionally saw the officials patrolling...... All in all, the law and order are good, which is completely different from the Xiangshan Mansion City imagined before.
They went directly to Lin'an Street, the most prosperous street in Fucheng, with wide streets, many shops, and a lot of traffic. Here are the best and largest money houses, silver buildings, pawnshops, restaurants, tea houses, embroidery workshops, fat powder shops, and brothels in Xiangshan Mansion, all of which are hung with colorful lanterns and are very magnificent. One of the three-storey color buildings, covering a large area, is called the Red Building. Just by listening to the name, you know that you are engaged in a special industry.
Looking at this street, it is impossible to imagine that the people not far from here are still suffering from banditry.
Xia Li likes to visit the silver building, and Xia likes to visit the embroidery workshop, so he went to these two places to take a look around and bought some things.
Turn not far from Jinyan Street, there is no prosperity of Lin'an Street, it is quiet, there are restaurants, silver buildings, embroidery workshops, tea houses, the scale is obviously not as good as the shops on Lin'an Street, there are several study, ink shop, grocery stores. A few shops are detached, and most of them are connected.
It was already noon here, and a few people went to Daoxiang Restaurant for dinner. The Xia family has a table for three people, and Ye Jin and several other guards have a table. The taste of the dish is acceptable, not as good as the Yixiang Restaurant in Tongning County, and it is not expensive, Xia Li has four meat and two vegetables on this table, and it cost more than 200 yuan in total.
Of course, Ye Jin rushed to pay the money.
There is a shop at the corner of the street that is being transferred, two floors, and a small backyard, the area is not very large, and the price is four hundred and fifty taels of silver.
Xia Li and the others went in to visit and felt that it was good to open a restaurant or a teahouse here, of course Xia Li liked to open a restaurant. The environment here is good, close to the most prosperous Lin'an Street, and then two streets past is the prefect's yamen, and the safety factor is also high.
Xia Li estimated in his heart, Uncle Xia Shan said that a medium-sized two-entry courtyard on Dongrong Street would cost one hundred and thirty taels of silver, and in comparison, it would not be expensive to sell four hundred and fifty taels of silver for two two-story shops and a small courtyard here.
Ye Jin saw that Xia Li was hesitating, and he was secretly happy in his heart. He wished that Xia Li's family would move in, and when he would live here with peace of mind, the uncle would also be happyโwell, the uncle seemed to particularly want Miss Xia to live in Fucheng.
He quietly persuaded, "Miss Xia, if you open a restaurant here, you don't have to worry about bad business at all, not only will Ye Li, Manager He and I pull business for you, but the uncle will also help pull it." โ
After speaking, he raised his eyebrows.
Xia Li thought about it, yes, at least the business in the army can be done, and Ye Feng can also help pull some tall people over. Moreover, with a military background, not to mention that hooligans and gangsters dare not come to make trouble, even those officials do not dare to come and charge indiscriminately.
Xia Li smiled, "It's good, it's just that the master is not easy to find." โ
Ye Jin smiled again, "Miss Xia forgot, there is Uncle Xiang, although he only cooks for my uncle, he knows many cooks in restaurants. You go back and ask him, and he'll definitely help. โ
Hearing him say this, Xia Li didn't have any reason to refuse. smiled, "Okay, let's think about it again." โ
After that, I went shopping a few more streets. Xiangshan Mansion City is not big, and when it comes to Xiashen, several main streets have been shopped, and a few people and a dog take a carriage home.
Xia Li not only bought things for his family, but also bought food for Dangdang and Xiong Xiang, bought some lo-mei and wine, and invited Ye Jin and Ye Li to drink with Xia Shan at night. In addition, he still bought braised vegetables for Ye Feng and Liu Changzhao. Whether they are rare or not, they are their own hearts.
There are also shops selling and renting shops on other streets, and Xia Li still thinks that the shop on Jinyan Street is the most suitable. Location, size, price, and surroundings have the highest composite index.
In the car, Xia Li and Xia discussed quietly.
Xia's preference for another shop is a bungalow with a small courtyard.
Xia said, "That shop on Jinyan Street is too expensive. This shop is much cheaper, and you can buy it for two hundred and fifty taels of silver. We still have to buy a house to live in, which will cost more than 100 taels. In these two places, it costs more than 400 taels to buy and decorate and make household goods...... I don't know if the shop can make money or how much money it can make. The money in the family is reserved for you to marry as the silver of the pressure box, and you can't spend too much. โ
Even with all this money, her heart bleeds.
Xia Li didn't take a fancy to the shop, saying that the location was too small. He also said, "Mother, if you want to buy it, you can buy it well, you can earn more if you spend more, and you can have a big return if you have a big investment." If I earn more, my money will come out, and my mother and brother will be able to live better in the future......"
No matter what, as long as Xia Li decides, Xia will not raise objections. My heart hurt so much that my chest hurt, but I still said gently, "Okay, listen to Lili." โ
Xia's mother is so good, and ancient women are so gentle. Xia Shi was so happy that he put his arm around her and rested his head on her shoulder.
