Chapter 281: Investigation

In any case, this shop is very suitable in terms of location and location. If there was any hope of renting, even if there was a glimmer of hope, she would have to give it a try. At that moment, she didn't ask any more, stood up and arched her hand: "Then I'll go next door to have a look, but I don't know if the shop is open?" ”

"At this time, it should be opened." Shopkeeper Luo looked at Tiansedao.

Lin Xiaozhu nodded, stood up, and walked out.

As soon as she went out, she almost ran into a person standing at the door. She hurriedly took two steps back, and when she looked closely, it was a woman, in her twenties, with extremely gorgeous eyebrows and eyes, combing the woman's head, wearing a rose-red jacket, and the whole person was like a blooming rose, extremely eye-catching. Her eyes kept staring at the door of the dim sum shop, and when she saw Lin Xiaozhu coming out of the door, she glanced at Lin Xiaozhu inadvertently, then turned around, took out a bunch of keys from her arms, and walked towards the shop on the left.

Lin Xiaozhu glanced at her, but he didn't care, and took a few steps before turning around and looking at both sides of the shop. But at a glance, I saw that the woman was opening the door of the shop, and the door was written "Qin Ji Grocery Store".

Is this one? Lin Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on the woman. I saw that she unlocked the door, so she took off the door panels one by one and put them aside. Pots, bowls, stoves, brooms, etc., stacked in the shop, are they just grocery stores?

Could it be that this grocery store is not done, so the shop is ready to be rented? Lin Xiaozhu thought about it and walked towards the grocery store. Anyway, since Shopkeeper Luo said it clearly, she shouldn't lie to him, she should always go to see how the shop is, and then talk about the next words.

She walked into the grocery store, pretended to look at the goods on the shelves, and looked at the shop without moving. I saw that this shop was really as the shopkeeper Luo said. small upper third of the area. She makes a pickle shop, such an area is just right, and it is too big and wasteful. I nodded in my heart. I'm quite satisfied with this shop.

The woman didn't care about Lin Xiaozhu, she swept the dust on the counter with a feather duster, and sat down. He didn't pay attention to people, and his eyes were fixed on the door.

Generally, there are guests who come to the door. As a host, you always have to greet warmly, and many people also like to cheer for home. So Lin Xiaozhu has been waiting for this woman to speak, so that she can get the clichΓ© out of her mouth. Naturally, she couldn't just believe the words of the shopkeeper Luo. However, seeing that the woman's eyes kept staring outside, she didn't pay attention to her at all, so she had to open her mouth first: "This sister-in-law, I would like to ask if you rent a shop of your size on your street." How much does it cost for a year's rent? ”

The woman was finally willing to withdraw her gaze and put it on Lin Xiaozhu's body. She glanced Lin Xiaozhu up and down, her eyes showed a little disdain, she pouted, put her eyes outside the door again, and said coldly: "What are you asking for?" A few hundred taels of silver, can you afford to rent it? ”

Lin Xiaozhu glanced down at himself, and regretted that he didn't buy a bright dress to wear. However, although the woman had a cold attitude, she still answered herself, no? If you ask for something, you have to be angry. She smiled. said: "I want to rent a shop on this street and sell some snacks." When I need some dishes and jars, I have to buy them from my sister-in-law. At that time, I will ask my sister-in-law to take care of it, and sell it cheaper. ”

Because he was born beautifully. Usually there are some lustful people who come here to talk and talk big. So Lin Xiaozhu's words, the woman was no stranger to hearing them. She glanced at Lin Xiaozhu, looked outside again, and said lightly: "Let's talk about it then." ”

When Lin Xiaozhu said this, he was not talking nonsense for no reason. If she wants to open a pickle shop, she always needs some jars. Where do these things come from, if not? Since this shop is closed, things naturally have to be disposed of. Wouldn't it be nice for her to buy some back? But I didn't want this woman to hear that she had to take care of business, and her attitude was still so cold, and she didn't seem to want to talk to her at all. She had to raise her hand, wanting to give her hand away.

But as soon as she raised her hand, the woman stood up with a "soar", then lifted the hem of her skirt and rushed out like a butterfly. Lin Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment, looked outside, and saw that Shopkeeper Luo was walking out of the store, as if he was in a hurry, so he just buried his head and rushed forward, walking fast under his feet. But the woman was extremely agile, and soon stood in front of the shopkeeper Luo, blocking his way.

Which play is this? Lin Xiaozhu stood there stunned.

Shopkeeper Luo seemed impatient to talk to the woman, said a word with a cold face, and wanted to turn around and leave, but he didn't want his sleeve to be pulled by the woman, and he couldn't walk. I had to stop and frown and speak.

They were standing far away, and Lin Xiaozhu couldn't hear what they were saying. It can only be seen that it seems that the woman is entangled with the shopkeeper Luo, and the shopkeeper Luo's face is full of disgust and helplessness.

After a while, Shopkeeper Luo finally snatched his sleeve from the woman's hand and walked away. The woman returned to the shop in a daze, and saw that Lin Xiaozhu was still standing in the shop, and she was very surprised when she looked at her. The woman became embarrassed for a moment, pointed at Lin Xiaozhu, and raised her eyebrows: "Go out." ”

Uh, isn't that a disaster? Lin Xiaozhu secretly said that he was angry and was angry for no reason. But she can understand this woman's mood, and she doesn't bother to worry about her, so she flicks her sleeves and turns around and leaves.

Out of the grocery store, she thought about it for a while, and returned to the dim sum shop. Although Shopkeeper Luo left, since he asked himself to come to see this shop, he had to leave a word for her, right?

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the shop, Xiao Er greeted her and said, "This guest officer, our shopkeeper has something to do temporarily." He left a message, saying that if you fancy the shop next door, please wait at the Qingxin Teahouse in front of you in the afternoon, and then he will take the owner of the shop to meet you. ”

"Okay, please tell Shopkeeper Luo, I will definitely go to the appointment on time in the afternoon." Lin Xiaozhu nodded and left the dim sum shop. She has been in this place for so long, and she has seen that the customers of this shop have been endless, and it seems that the business is very good. She made up her mind to take the shop next door. At this time, seeing that the shopkeeper Luo actually helped her make an appointment with the owner of the shop, she naturally wanted to meet and have a good talk.

I just don't know, what is the relationship between Shopkeeper Luo and the proprietress of the grocery store? Lin Xiaozhu got out of the dim sum shop, turned her head curiously and glanced at the grocery store, and saw that the woman was taking bowls for the two customers at this time, she didn't care, and turned her head and walked towards other stores. She had to buy a shiny dress first, and then she would ask other shopkeepers about the market, but she couldn't just say what the shopkeeper said.

The relationship between people in ancient times was not as cold as it is in modern times. And Lin Xiaozhu, who was wearing a silk robe, walked around that street and collected a lot of information. For example, the dim sum shop, the grocery store, and the two shops next to it all belong to a Mr. Zhang, which is the ancestral property of Mr. Zhang; The family was a scholar and couldn't run a business, so they rented out the shop. The price of the shop varies depending on the location and area, but she did not know the specific amount. But it will never be less than four hundred taels.

"Does Boss Wang know which of Mr. Zhang's shops is for rent?" At that time, Lin Xiaozhu was sitting at the door of a small restaurant, slowly eating a bowl of noodles and chatting with the boss.

Boss Wang of the small restaurant is an extremely talkative person, hearing this, he pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I haven't heard of this." Because his shops are close to the street and people come and go, the business is quite good, and I haven't heard of any of them not doing it and will transfer it. Speaking of this, he looked around and saw that there were only two people talking while eating noodles in the store, and he didn't pay attention to this, and approached Lin Xiaozhu and said, "But the proprietress of that Qin Ji grocery store is a widow." She seems to have fallen in love with the shopkeeper Luo of Yu Ji's dim sum shop, and every day as soon as the shopkeeper Luo goes out, she comes forward to entangle. Isn't it that the shopkeeper Luo was impatient and told Master Zhang that he wanted to drive her away? ”

"So?" Lin Xiaozhu remembered the scene he saw in the morning, and believed most of Boss Wang's words in his heart.

"What is the family background of Qin Ji's proprietor? Is there any backstage? Lin Xiaozhu asked again.

Boss Wang sneered: "If you have a good family background, you still need to get up early and stay greedy to guard the shop?" The grocery store was originally owned by her husband, and she came to help from time to time. Later, after her husband died, she was the one who guarded the shop alone. Alas, less than two years after her husband's death, she had such thoughts, which was really unruly. ”

Lin Xiaozhu nodded, took out fifteen yuan, put it on the table, stood up, and arched his hand: "It's a great honor to meet Boss Wang today." If you are lucky enough to be able to rent a shop on this street, you will come to chat with Boss Wang again. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Boss Wang accepted the money with a smile, "It's good to go, don't send it." ”

When Lin Xiaozhu went out, he stopped walking around and went back to the inn directly. It was past noon, and it was almost time for Shen, so she went out and went to the Qingxin Teahouse.

Entering the Qingxin Teahouse, she looked around for a week, but did not see Shopkeeper Luo, and was about to find a place to sit down, when she heard the voice of Shopkeeper Luo behind her: "Master Zhang is here for a while, and I will go downstairs to see if he is here." Obviously, the "he" in his mouth is talking about Lin Xiaozhu himself.

Lin Xiaozhu hurriedly turned around and beckoned, "Shopkeeper Luo." ”

"Huh." Shopkeeper Luo glanced at Lin Xiaozhu, recognized her, hurriedly arched his hand, and said with a smile, "Little brother has changed his clothes, I can't recognize it." "Busy introducing, "This is Master Zhang, the owner of the shop." ”

Lin Xiaozhu hurriedly made a gesture: "I've seen Master Zhang." ”

The three of them sat down at an empty table, and the shopkeeper Luo asked, "I left the dim sum shop in advance in the morning." I left in a hurry, and I haven't consulted my little brother yet. ”

Lin Xiaozhu hesitated for a moment and said, "Under Chen Xi." This is her name in her previous life, and she has not been called for a few years, and she feels a lot stranger.

(Sorry, I'm going to break my promise today.) I thought I could rest on the weekend, but the leader called me again and was busy for a day. So I only have to change it. (To be continued)
