Zhou listened to Meizi's advice. The hesitation in my heart is also gone for the most part. Tuesday River looked at the two women in this house. It's also hard to say something to refute it. Naturally, I nodded in agreement.
The family discussed again at the dinner table. How big a store are you going to get. Where to look. And what to sell.
In the end, the family did not negotiate a charter. In the end, Zhou's decision was made. Let Meizi go to the county seat to find out during this time. After all, this is the beginning of the plum. Let her know better where to start. Meizi thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she readily agreed.
The next day. It's a clear weather. Overhead the sky is blue and blue. Occasionally, a few white clouds dot it. It looks so peaceful and beautiful. The sun quietly leaked out half of its head. Manifested. A new day begins.
On such a day, Meizi set foot on the road to the county seat. Started a new beginning in life.
After arriving at the county seat. Umeko kept observing in a few small streets with a lot of people. Compare. There is one that specializes in making time-honored brands. This is definitely not going to work. One of them is candy. Pastry. There are also bits and pieces mixed with some things that buy and sell gadgets, which are not suitable for anything. I don't have a clue about it.
Meizi returned to the shop selling tofu brains not far from the city gate. I asked for a tofu brain. I looked at the few shops that I had written down in my hand that were written on sublease or sale. His brows furrowed unconsciously. The more I looked at it, the more I felt that it was not appropriate anywhere.
The lady who sells bean curd. Watching Umeko sit on the table with a piece of paper and read. While shaking his head and sighing, he took advantage of this time not to be busy. Gather up to Umeko. "Something happened to the girl. Look at your sad face. Although the eldest lady has never seen much of the world. But I might be able to give you an idea. ”
Meizi naturally knew that the eldest lady was telling the truth. Nor is it timid. I told the proprietress that I wanted to set up a shop and do a food business.
The proprietress is also sincere. I didn't think that Meizi opened a food shop to steal business for him.
Hostess: "Girl! You see, there is a cloth house diagonally across from us, what do you think? ”
Meizi looked in the direction of the proprietress finger. See a storefront selling cloth. From afar, it looked deserted, and there were no people coming in and out. There weren't a few pieces of fabric on the shelves inside. Some places are directly empty. At a glance, the store is not small, and there are more than 30 square meters. Meizi didn't know what the proprietress meant. looked up at the old lady suspiciously.
The proprietress also saw Meizi's doubts and did not hesitate. said directly to Meizi: "Girl, my old woman doesn't hide it." Let's be honest! If you think so, you can do it. I'm happy for you too. If you don't think so, we'll treat me as an old woman who didn't say it. Don't be angry with the old woman. ”
Hearing this, Meizi hurriedly arrived: "Mother-in-law, what are you talking about!" I'm alone in this county, and I don't have any acquaintances. I don't know what to do. You're willing to give me ideas. I'm too late to show me the way! Where are you going to be angry! ”
The old man who sells tofu brains is surnamed Sun. Usually people call her Grandma Sun. The two old men only had one son when they got old. It's a child born too old again. There are many deficiencies in nature. Sick all the time. Medical expenses alone are not a small amount. A few years ago, his condition worsened and he couldn't be treated, so he left two old people, his daughter-in-law and son, and left.
The son left, and the daughter-in-law also ran away with someone. Only two old people and a little grandson were left to live. Grandma Sun's youngest grandson, who is two years older than Zhou Zhu, is studying at a private school nearby. Sometimes when Meizi goes back late, she can still see the little guy on the stall helping her grandparents clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Grandma Sun's family is kind and kind. Nearby residents are also helping each other. The family also lived on this small stall. Usually Umeko sits outside without looking carefully inside. Grandma Sun's house, the store here is not small, and it is almost the same as selling fabrics diagonally opposite. It's hot, and everyone doesn't bother to go inside. I used a few bamboo poles to build a small shed outside the door. So Umeko hadn't noticed it before.
Grandma Sun looked at the people around her, and then leaned over and whispered next to Meizi: "The owner of the cloth seller is also a poor person." I heard that the daughter-in-law did something harmful to the woman's gain outside. It was discovered by the owner. This fight started when it wasn't outside. Someone stabbed him in a bucket. The wound is on the vital point. People took it home and didn't dare to make a noise. I didn't go that night. The proprietor is an outsider. I didn't leave a son and a half daughter. No one has redressed the grievances when he dies, and the daughter-in-law of the cloth owner is afraid that people will bring this matter out. Are you in a hurry to sell the store these days? It's just that many people think that there have been dead people in this house, and they don't want it. Otherwise, this is not far from the city gate, and it is easy to do any business. Girl, if you think the old woman doesn't like to hear this, I haven't said it. ”
Hearing this, Meizi hurried over: "Grandma Sun, you will see the outside world when you say this." I think you're right, this place has been dead, but it's a good place. I'm not afraid of any of that. I'll check it out later. ”
Meizi took the words of the proprietress to heart again, and felt that this place was indeed a good place. If it weren't for this kind of thing, this kind of store would not be easy to sell.
Meizi finished eating the tofu brain in a few bites and put things away. Thank you to the hostess. I went to the cloth shop diagonally opposite.
Umeko collapsed into the store and looked around. I saw an older man sitting at the counter at the door. One hand is on half of his face. With his eyes closed, he dozed off little by little. Plum didn't alarm him either. Quietly walked a few steps into the store.
The whole store is much bigger than it looks from the outside. Definitely more than 30 square meters! There is also a door at the foot of the house, which is closed, and the back is probably the place where people live.
The store is not old, and it is estimated that it has not been renovated for a long time. At that time, if the plate is down, there is no need to make it whole. Just buy some tables, chairs, benches, and put them on to sit for business. Meizi looked at the front and thought it was still full.
Then he walked to the counter. Fend his fingers knocked on the countertop. The dozing man suddenly woke up when he heard the noise. looked at Plum with a confused expression. Almost sober up. "Do you want to buy cloth?" Take a look. The right words can give you a cheaper price. After saying this, the man who was looking at the store raised his hand to cover his mouth and yawned.
Meizi didn't go around the bend and spoke directly: "I'm not here to see the fabric. I'm here to talk to your proprietress about this shop. ”
When the man who was watching the store heard this, he immediately became a little more serious. He raised his head and looked at Meizi carefully.
"Girl. You're sure you're not kidding. You're sure you're here to see the store. The man's tone was full of disbelief.
Meizi also knew that she was not convincing when a little girl's family said this. And what I wear is the coarse cloth clothes that I usually wear casually. No wonder the shopkeeper doesn't believe in himself.
