After breakfast, Lei Biao went to the stable to lead the horse out, and pulled out the carriage next to it, which already had a rudimentary carriage, which he built with bamboo, and stretched a thick cotton cloth on it, and covered the cotton cloth with a layer of black cloth.

The so-called black cloth is a cheesecloth that is not worn in a coarse way, and this kind of cloth is generally used to build tarpaulin, and boat canopies and car canopies are generally used to build sheds.

Last time, when I took Lin Xia to Buzhuang, I bought a lot, which was specially used to build this carriage canopy.

Lei Biao put the cart on the horses, spread hay in the cart, brought a thick quilt to spread it, and finally took a rabbit skin and sewed it into a leather cushion to cover it, which was soft and comfortable to the touch. The carriage was bumpy, and Lin Xia, who had sat there several times, turned pale, so he followed the sofa and bed at home, so it shouldn't be so bumpy.

Lin Xia was wearing a brand-new light blue long skirt and a snow-white rabbit fur cloak, which looked extremely warm. Three thousand strands of hair were coiled into a hibiscus bun, and a royal blue hosta corresponding to the dress was inserted between the strands, standing at the door and waiting quietly.

When Lei Biao drove the carriage and saw the figure, he saw a slight hook on his lips, and he couldn't wait to get closer.

Lei Biao got out of the car and saw Lin Xia's little eyes with some grievances, as if he was blaming Lei Biao for making her wait for a long time. The heart was soft, and seeing her hair being ruffled by the breeze, he reached out and stroked the hair around her ear.

Lin Xia's face was slightly red, and he was a little surprised by his small move, and the impatience of waiting just now disappeared in an instant.

"Ah......" Lin Xia was hugged into the carriage by Lei Biao, which was really unexpected, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Are you comfortable to sit on?"

"En......"

Lin Xia lowered his head and whispered a sigh of gratitude, Lei Biao saw that his little lady's little ears were red, and jumped into the carriage happily to continue to catch up.

Lin Xia sat in the soft and sheltered carriage, looking at the back of Lei Biao, who was sitting on the wheel and driving the carriage in front of him, his heart was sweet, and his smile did not weaken.

When they arrived in Qinghou County, the two did not delay much, and went directly to Yahang to ask about the situation.

However, the economic development of Qinghou County was obviously beyond Lin Xia's expectations.

There are a few shops in the teeth, especially one of the big shops, with good lighting and good location, and the price is scary, only sold but not rented, and the price is two hundred taels.

If it was put before the house was built, it would be good to say, now Lin Xia is only worth forty-three taels of silver, so it is urgent to make money!

But Yazi continued to recommend without giving up, "This is a prosperous shop, the location is good, there are many people, such a large shop has such a good light and only needs two hundred taels of silver, it is really absolutely cost-effective, and there is no such store in this village!" If it weren't for the owner's urgent matter to sell, you wouldn't have picked up such a good thing! ”

Lin Xia smiled bitterly, who doesn't want to buy a good one if you have money!

Yazi saw that the big shop had no hope of selling, and he was regretful. But he still greeted him in a good voice, "I wonder if you two can take a fancy to other shops?" ”

Lin Xia flipped through the notebook, which concisely introduced the address, situation and price of each shop.

Similarly, Lei Biao also held the same book in his hand, stopped when he turned to one of the pages, and handed it directly to Lin Xia, "Here's it." ”

Lin Xia took a look, the location is not bad, it belongs to the middle of the residential area and the commercial area; However, the shop is a long square and very narrow, with a maximum of five tables and chairs placed side by side.

When Yazi saw it, his face was happy. This shop is always unpopular because it is narrow, and it has not been rented out for a long time, but there is hope for it today.

When Lin Xia saw the shape of this shop, the plan in his heart was modified, and he asked directly, "What's the situation with this shop?" ”

Yazi smiled and hurriedly introduced: "This shop was originally a narrow road, and later the government wanted to change the road and seal the narrow road, but the government felt that it was a pity to keep this position, so they built a small shop, which used to be a grain shop." Now the left side of this shop is a grain shop, the right side is a grocery store, don't look at this shop is narrow, but the location is good, and the rent is not expensive, only two taels of silver a month, and only twenty-four taels of silver for a year! ”

Lin Xia nodded, quite satisfied with the rent. "Can you take us to the store?"

"Yes, I have the key, I'll take you there now." Yazi smiled and said more earnestly, "Two, please." ”

The two followed Yazi to the front of the shop, and Yazi opened the door with the key. Lei Biao and Lin Xia just entered the store to take a look, the dust was extremely heavy, and this time the shop had been idle for a long time. Only one counter remains in the store, which is very old but in perfect condition.

And the store is indeed very narrow, this hot pot should be placed on the table, so the table should be the kind of square table specifications for eight people, if it is placed in this store, there can only be five square tables and chairs for eight people vertically, and in this case, the aisle will be much narrower, narrow enough to accommodate only one person walking, which is really inconvenient.

The kitchen directly at the back of the store is spacious, and there are two iron pots on the stove, which is enough for a hot pot restaurant.

Lin Xia pondered that if he rented this shop, the possibility of opening a hot pot restaurant was very small, and the location could not be developed, considering the space of the store, it would be more convenient to eat something more convenient and fast.

For example, Malatang.

Yazi looked at Lin Xia with a contemplative expression, originally hoping that this shop could be rented out, but it fell by three or four points in an instant, and cautiously tentatively said, "I don't know if the two of you are satisfied?" ”

"We'll have to take a tael off the rent." Lin Xia plans to rent this shop, but he also has to bargain, the remaining money in his hand is not enough, this shop is empty, it costs money to buy tables and chairs, personnel, and it can be saved.

When Yazi heard this, he ignited a little hope. However, when he heard Lin Xia's half-cut rent, his face suddenly became embarrassed, "Oh, the location of this store is so good, why can't it be worth only one or two months' rent, this rent is already very favorable!" ”

Lin Xia glanced at his teeth, and said cleverly: "The location of your store is good, but the structure is not good, and it is difficult to put a few tables and chairs to make people move around the store." Not to mention that your shop is full of dust, and you can't rent it out for a long time at a glance, and I rented this shop to open a snack bar, and you have no tables, chairs, benches, dishes, chopsticks in this store, and we have to buy it when the time comes, which is also a small amount of money! ”

Seeing that his teeth were a little loose, he hurriedly continued to paralyze himself with words: "Look at how long your shop has not been rented, it is a waste to be idle, and these two pieces of silver are also silver." ”

Yazi was said to have a painful face, thinking that this shop has been rented out for a few years, and now someone is finally taking over, although it is cheaper, but there is still income, so I can only reluctantly give in to the price.

Lin Xia successfully bargained, and his heart was happy, but his face remained calm. Said to Yazi: "Then we will rent it directly for a year." ”

Yazi heard that Lin Xia had rented it for a year, and his heart was relieved, this shop was finally rented out. Hurriedly said, "Okay, let's go back and sign the paperwork now?" ”

Lin Xia waved his hand and motioned for him to lead the way.

Lei Biao was silent throughout the whole process, and followed Lin Xia quietly.

After completing the formalities at the tooth shop, Yazi handed over the key to the store to Lin Xia.

After getting the key, Lin Xia had a very subtle feeling, she was finally a small boss and had her own industry!

Without further ado, Lin Xia happily pulled Lei Biao forward, "Let's go, let's get the things in the store done today and open as soon as possible!" ”

This store is said to be lightweight, but there are still many things to do, such as decorating the store, replenishing ingredients, adding kitchen utensils, dishes and chopsticks, hiring staff, advertising and so on.

In the decoration of the store, on the left and right walls, Lin Xia asked Lei Biao to go to the mountain to cut a lot of fine bamboo, and then put them together and paste them on the wall, which looks much more elegant, and can also cover the holes in the wall and the falling wall skin.

Then instead of abandoning the traditional square tables and chairs, Lin Xia drew a smaller rectangular table and chair and customized five sets, which were placed directly against the wall, which could save a lot of space.

On the empty wall on the left, Lin Xia planned to put a giant trapezoidal shelf, and put baskets on the shelves, and put vegetables, meatballs and other foods skewered with bamboo skewers in the baskets.

In this way, the store began to take shape.

The next day, Lei Biao took his bow and arrows and planned to go to the mountains to hunt some prey, after all, he was going to open a shop, and meat dishes were indispensable. Lin Xia, on the other hand, stayed at home, grinding the white cardamom cinnamon and other things she bought a few days ago into powder, and she also bought a stone mill to grind for these seasonings.

When her spices were almost grinded, she cleaned up and ran to the fruit grove and vegetable garden to water them with a bucket of pure spirit water.

This fruit grove and vegetable garden are opposite the hut where I lived, I bought a large piece of wasteland at that time, and specially invited someone to buy a living fruit tree and transplant it here, and there were two rows of fruit trees on the right, and the experienced fruit farmers came to say that they might not be able to plant it, Lin Xia specially brought the pure spiritual water to water it one by one, and now they are all growing green and lush, and they have survived without exception.

On the left side of the orchard, a vegetable garden was cultivated, and all kinds of vegetables were planted, but unfortunately a small green shoot sprouted just after planting, and the harvest did not come so quickly.

Next to it is a row of cottages built, and there is a small kitchen, cellar and stable next to it, which is divided by Lin Xia, once the fruit forest and vegetable garden are successfully planted, it is definitely not enough for Lei Biao and Lin Xia to take care of them, so they are ready to invite someone to take care of them.

After all, you have to take precautions, so I also took the lead in spending a sum of silver.

I went to inspect my own paddy field again, and when I went home slowly, it was already close to evening, and I found that Lei Biao had not come back yet.
