Chapter 113 Renting a House
The four brothers and sisters stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked inside, and it turned out that Lin Qiang and Lin Hong's five sisters and brothers were fighting and arguing.
Xiao Ru listened for a while and finally understood what happened, it turned out that the five Lin Hong sisters and brothers killed all the chickens, ducks and geese at home one after another, and Lin Qiang was definitely unwilling to come back from vacation, so he clashed with Lin Hong's sisters and brothers.
Several neighbors next door came to persuade them, and it took a lot of effort to separate Lin Hong's five sisters and brothers from Lin Qiang.
Lin Hong cried out with grievances: "What if I don't kill the chickens, ducks and geese?" Do you feed them with grain? There is not enough food at home! ”
Lin Qiang roared angrily: "You don't know to dig wild vegetables and come back to chop them and feed them, ducks and geese?" In the past, Xiao Ru slut fed chickens, ducks and geese like this when he was in our house! ”
The two little brothers wanted to beat him when they heard Lin Qiang scolding Xiao Ru when they saw someone, but they were stopped by Xiao Ru, Lin Mei and they all went to prison, and there were a few things left that Lin Qiang did not make up to support the Lin family, the Lin family was finished, why bother to step on it again and stain the soles of his shoes!
The brothers and sisters returned to the county seat and made a delicious meal to celebrate, and the two little brothers finished the exam.
The next day, Xiao only went to the school early in the morning to make up for the class, Xiao Ru went to the provincial capital with Xiao Chu and Xiao Jian, and chose a prosperous place to shop.
The business of selling peanuts and melon seeds is good, and many people have gathered in front of various food stalls.
Although Xiaoru has good cooking skills and can make many snacks sold on the street, she can also make a lot of snacks for the snack business, which is a bit troublesome, and she wants to see what is not troublesome and profitable.
Walking around, the three sisters and brothers met Liu Dayong, who was selling saltwater peanuts.
Liu Dayong saw that they had even suspended their business, so he had to catch a few handfuls of saltwater peanuts for each of them, and then he was busy with business again.
Seeing that his business was so prosperous, Xiao Ru wanted to ask him about the market, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear of affecting his money, so he said hello to him and continued to shop.
Xiao Ru saw that there were many stalls selling clothing on the street, and the business seemed to be okay.
I didn't dare to inquire about the price, so I stood aside and listened to the conversation between buying clothes and selling clothes, each piece of clothing is not cheap, there are many people who see it, and few people buy it.
However, it seems that the small vendors who sell clothes should be very profitable, wearing fashionable clothes, heavy makeup, and some of them even wear gold rings on their fingers, with a sense of superiority that "I am a rich man".
Xiaoru was tempted, she also wanted to set up a stall to sell clothes, and sell them on the same day, which was very simple, and there was no need to do any preparations.
She calculated in her mind whether to rent a house in the city or go back and forth between the county seat and the provincial capital every day.
If you still live in the county, the round-trip fare is two yuan a day, and it is sixty yuan a month, so it is better to rent a room in the city!
It's just that in this era, there are neither mobile phones nor the Internet, where to rent a house?
I only inquired blindly.
Xiao Ru inquired around the vicinity of the martial arts, and there were really people renting houses.
It is a two-story private house, with asbestos tiles or something built on it, the material of the board house is too thin, not warm at all, and the house is as cold as the outside.
The landlord's lady is a chubby aunt, and she enthusiastically took Xiaoru to see the house: "2 bedrooms and 1 living room, with a separate bathroom and kitchen, only charge you 35 yuan a month for rent, very cheap, the rent of a house with 2 bedrooms and 1 living room in this area is at least forty or fifty yuan!" ”
Xiaoru said lightly: "It's a brick house, but you're a board house, can the rent be the same?" I'll rent it for thirty dollars a month, it's too expensive for us to afford it. ”
This area belongs to Jiangcheng is a particularly prosperous place, and the rent cannot be cheap, so Xiaoru didn't dare to pay too much price, it had to be too low, and people drove people directly, which is a major feature of Jiangcheng, and it will not be benevolent and righteous with you, and I think you don't have a little bit of a counteroffer, so there is no need to talk about it.
The landlord's aunt made a slight concession: "Thirty-three, I won't rent one point less." ”
"Forget it." Xiao Ru took the two Xiao Chu brothers downstairs.
The landlord and aunt stared at the back of Xiao Xia's downstairs in surprise, although Xiao Ru spoke pure Mandarin, but she was obviously a country girl in her clothes, and she was so young, but she acted so aggressively, she didn't look like a child with no social experience at all, but like an old driver who had mixed up in society.
I originally wanted to rent a higher price, but people didn't buy it, so I had to make some concessions myself, otherwise the business in hand would really run away.
Besides, thirty dollars is not too low.
The landlord's aunt hurriedly caught up and stopped Xiao Ru, squinting her eyes and saying helplessly: "Forget it, seeing that you are a little girl from the countryside, I will suffer a loss, and I will rent it to you for thirty yuan cheaply." ”
Xiaoru paid a rent of 30 yuan, and by the way, he asked the landlord and aunt where there was clothing wholesale.
The landlord's aunt has the unique righteousness of Jiangcheng people, and now Xiaoru is already her tenant, her attitude towards her must be different from just now, and asked: "Are you going to set up a stall to sell clothing, there is clothing wholesale on Hanzheng Street, but if there are fewer people, I am afraid that people will not approve, so the cost is high, is your capital enough?" ”
Xiaoru said: "How can I have the capital, when I inquire well, I will borrow money." "When you go out, you have to pretend to be poor even if you have money.
The kind landlady and aunt told her where to set up a stall to sell clothes to make money, Xiao Ru kept them all in mind, and ran to Hanzheng Street with the two Xiao Chu brothers.
It is the best season of the year for business, and there are so many people on Hanzheng Street that they can't walk, so Xiao Ru reminds Xiao Chu to hold Xiao Jian and don't lose it.
She only brought 500 yuan in her hand today, thinking that it was enough to buy a lot of goods, but who knew that the finished clothes of that era were so expensive that the purchase price of a padded jacket was twenty! The 500 yuan in hand was only enough for twenty-five goods.
The problem is that this kind of normal appearance is all over the street, and it is impossible to sell it at a high price, but a better one is too expensive.
Xiao Ru visited the wholesale market twice before approving ten 20 yuan cotton jackets, 6 30 yuan tweed clothes, and 12 10 yuan pants, and all the money for the goods was spent.
The sisters and brothers squeezed out of the crowded Hanzheng Street, bought a few steamed buns in the steamed bun shop and ate them, and bought a bowl of tofu brain for Xiao Jian.
Xiaoru plans to go to the door of the martial arts merchants to set up stalls, although there are many stalls selling clothes at the door of the martial arts merchants, but there is a large flow of people, and it is easy to do business there.
When they got there, Lin Cuier found that they didn't have plastic sheets to spread their clothes on the ground, and they couldn't set up a stall, so they had to go back to the rental house first.
Before going back to the rental house, Xiaoru deliberately went around to Liu Dayong, and seeing that he was not busy with business, he gestured to ask him to make a shelf for her to hang clothes out of wood.
Hanging clothes on the shelves** on the floor is more convenient for customers to buy, and sometimes a small detail can make a big difference.
The shelves for hanging clothes are not difficult to make, Liu Dayong understood as soon as he heard it: "Nacheng, I will do it for you when I go back today, and bring it to you tomorrow, you come to me to get it, and I will still set up a stall here tomorrow." ”
