Chapter 47 Rent a Shop
When setting up the stall the next day, Shen Lingxiu looked at the weather, a little gloomy, and seemed to want rain.
"It's not going to be good, it looks like it's going to rain again!" The noodle eater spoke.
Whenever it rains, you have to rest, it's not a thing! She began to plan to rent a shop.
In the past few days, I have saved a little money, Lin's father's illness has also improved, and she has more energy, although the cost of the noodle stall is low, but in general it is too easy to be disturbed, and the most insurmountable thing is the weather, so you can't let customers come to eat in the rain.
It seemed that she still had to rent a storefront, so Shen Lingxiu took advantage of the fact that she was not busy and went to the street to stroll, thinking about seeing if there was a suitable storefront.
After walking around, she really found one, it was a grain shop sublease, she looked at the door for a long time, observed the flow of customers and geographical location, the location is very good, in the middle of the street, the flow of people must be large.
So it should be a worthwhile investment.
But she had to be cautious, she was still thinking about it, and walked around the storefront, and not far away was a storefront that specialized in pasta.
She was a little hesitant, the noodle business seemed to be doing well, and she would have to think carefully if she opened another store here.
Pondering, she returned to her stall, and then kept busy, until it was time to close the stall, and then she walked back again.
The rental posted at the door of the store was still there, and she stood up and looked at it carefully before she began to enter.
"Hello, you are the owner of this shop?" Shen Lingxiu saw a middle-aged man dressed plainly, and said politely.
"yes, you're here to see the shop? Sit down, sit down! The man saw Shen Lingxiu and spoke.
"Don't sit down, I'll take a look at the shop." Shen Lingxiu didn't sit down, but walked around the store.
She was quite satisfied, the space in the store was quite large, enough for five or six tables.
I looked at the back again, it can be transformed into a kitchen, the space is quite large, and I asked about the rent, which is also appropriate.
She walked to the door, and the owner of the shop also came out, Shen Lingxiu pointed to the store opposite.
"That store, has it been open for a long time?" She was referring to the noodle shop, and possibly her future competitor.
"Yes, it's been a long time, I guess it's been a few years, it's a time-honored store." The owner of the shop told the truth.
Shen Lingxiu frowned slightly, it has been several years, it is an old store, and the reputation must be there, it is not a small challenge!
"Okay, I'll rent it!" Shen Lingxiu patted her chest and finished speaking.
"Okay, let's go get the contract!" The owner of the shop is very happy, his shop has been empty for a long time, and no one has come to rent it, also because the business has not been very good recently.
Shen Lingxiu has just learned to write her own name, and this time it also came in handy, she took a pen and carefully wrote her name, Shen Lingxiu, this is her first store!
After signing it, she looked at this store that belonged to her, and was very happy, this is a decent noodle restaurant!
It took a few copper plates to invite someone to move the tables and chairs on the small noodle stall and put them in the lobby, the stove behind has not been made yet, she is thinking about asking Lin Ziwen to come over tomorrow to clean up, and Shen Lingxiu, who is resolute, did not even tell her family about the store she rented.
After finishing these things, it was already a little late when he returned home, and Lin Ziwen was a little worried and paced back and forth at the door and began to walk.
The sky was already a little dark, and Shen Lingxiu was still missing, he was very worried, and was about to go to the town to have a look, just about to leave, a figure in the distance was getting closer and closer, and when he walked in, it was Shen Lingxiu, Lin Ziwen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why did you come back so late?" There was a hint of reproach in his tone.
Seeing that someone was worried about herself, Shen Lingxiu felt warm, she was already happy, and she was even more happy, so she put her arms around Lin Ziwen's neck, and the two of them snuggled into the door.
For the sudden intimate action, Lin Ziwen was very shy and blushed.
"Lin Ziwen, you can help me get a stove tomorrow." Shen Lingxiu opened his mouth to speak, Lin Ziwen has always been responsive, and nodded.
Then he reacted and asked.
"Get a stove? Isn't there? "Is it broken? He thought that it might have rained the other day.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I rented a storefront, right in the middle of the street!" Shen Lingxiu opened his mouth to speak, as if he was saying something very simple, just like what he had eaten today, but Lin Ziwen was dumbfounded, with a look of surprise, and asked in disbelief.
"What do you say?"
"I said I rented a shop!" Shen Lingxiu cleared her throat and said loudly, not only Lin Ziwen heard it clearly, but even Father Lin who was sitting in the yard, Ah Bao, who was running and jumping and playing, and even Chi Huifang, who was depressed in the house, heard it clearly.
"You mean really?" Father Lin asked.
Shen Lingxiu nodded, and Father Lin immediately looked depressed and sighed.
"The third family, why don't you discuss with your family, you forgot your sister-in-law, didn't you lose all the rice by paying the rent! You say......"
Father Lin's worries are not unnecessary, if they come out like that again, their Lin family will definitely not be able to bear it, and it is estimated that they will have to sell the house.
"Dad, don't worry. I've got a way to get the shop up and running. ”
"Third aunt, I believe in you!"
Po waved his small fist and spoke.
Shen Lingxiu touched Bao's head with great relief, anyway, it had already been rented, and there was no other way, and Father Lin didn't say anything anymore.
Chi Huifang in the room was very angry, Shen Lingxiu didn't mean to go against her!
Yesterday she remembered clearly that she asked Shen Lingxiu to rent her shop, but she didn't agree, so she rented the shop in a blink of an eye today. Isn't this obviously against her?
"What's angry? Can she drive? In the end, I will end up with you, just waiting to see a good show. Lin Shengyuan, who was on the side, saw Chi Huifang's face and said.
Chi Huifang felt that it made sense, pinched her waist and leaned against the window, and began to imagine that Shen Lingxiu, who couldn't pay the rent, could only be forced to close the door and owe a lot of debts, which was really cool.
Lin Ziwen was a little worried, frowned slightly, and before she could speak, she was seen by Shen Lingxiu, and she spoke.
"Don't worry! I have a way. Lin Ziwen could only nod.
After the family had eaten, Shen Lingxiu returned to the room, she really had to plan well, otherwise she could only repeat the mistakes of the past and repeat Chi Huifang's miserable old path.
She recalculated the cost, in order to make a profit, she must sell at least one-third more noodles than before, and the price reduction problem, it stands to reason that the price should be increased, but I am afraid that the old customers in the past will say that they will not be satisfied.
Shen Lingxiu decided to launch new varieties, no longer limited to noodles, but also some noodles and side dishes, and gradually developed into restaurants, mainly noodles.
These are still long-term plans, and we need to see what tomorrow will look like.
After all, tomorrow is the first day of business.
There are also noodles that can be moved over at one time, and they will be placed in the store, so that they don't have to be moved once a day like when they used to open small noodle stalls.
But moving the flour in one go is also a big project! Shen Lingxiu and Lin Ziwen got up early and started moving, and Ah Bao was not idle, and they were busy together.
Shen Lingxiu took out her hand and wiped the beads of sweat off Lin Ziwen's forehead.
The flour was moved over, Lin Ziwen went to build the stove, and finally got it all morning, it seems that it can't be opened today, and there are quite a lot of things to prepare.
Seeing that it was about to be noon, Shen Lingxiu personally made a few bowls of noodles and told Lin Ziwen to finish eating and clean up by himself.
Don't look at the shop is not very big, but it is quite difficult to clean up.
After lunch, Lin Ziwen's stove was also ready, and now the flour was missing, and a few people went home to get flour, and met Su Cuiyu at the entrance of the village.
"Brother Ziwen, what are you going to do?" Su Cuiyu stepped forward and spoke.
"We went to town, and Ling Xiu opened a noodle restaurant and is preparing to open." Lin Ziwen opened his mouth to explain, Su Cuiyu was taken aback when she heard it, she didn't expect Shen Lingxiu to actually open a shop, Lin Ziwen was doing coolies for her?
"Brother Ziwen, this is making you a coolie!" She opened her mouth in a weird way, and Shen Lingxiu rolled her eyes, knowing that she didn't have any good intentions.
"What does it have to do with you?" Shen Lingxiu slammed back mercilessly, and Su Cuiyu's face was not good-looking.
"Brother Ziwen, I'll help you." She trotted after him.
"How can you help?" Shen Lingxiu asked.
"Help my brother Ziwen work! I'm not like you, I don't want Brother Ziwen to suffer. Su Cuiyu began to set up a persona, looking gentle and hearty.
"Okay, help!" Shen Lingxiu threw half a bag of flour to Su Cuiyu, and then walked straight ahead.
"Ouch!" Su Cuiyu still said a big thing, but she didn't expect it to be so heavy.
She didn't want to do hard work for Shen Lingxiu in vain, and heard Shen Lingxiu say again.
"I won't let you do it in vain, I'll give you a copper plate when I'm done." This sentence sounded sarcastic to Su Cuiyu, she didn't expect that Shen Lingxiu, such an ugly woman, could be so arrogant.
She wanted to throw the flour on the ground at that time, and she was afraid of Lin Ziwen, and her face was super ugly.
After a while, she came up with a way, deliberately stumbled, and then the flour bag fell to the ground, originally thinking of taking the opportunity to spill the flour, who would have thought that Shen Lingxiu, a cunning woman, tied a super tight knot.
"Ouch! Brother Ziwen, my feet! She sat on the ground without hesitation, and then shouted loudly, covering her feet as she shouted.
Lin Ziwen heard the movement and turned to look at Su Cuiyu,
"What's wrong?"
"Twisting my feet." Su Cuiyu looked aggrieved, and even squeezed out a few tears.
Seeing that Lin Ziwen cared about herself, she felt that she was going to succeed. is to make Lin Ziwen unable to help Shen Lingxiu.
