Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Great House

As soon as Shen Shiliu entered the restaurant with his front foot, Du Xuanmo arrived with his back foot, and Shen Shiliu was surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

"I heard that you went to find Sun Tianba, and I'm worried that you're in trouble." Xuan Mo was out of breath, and he came all the way.

Shen Shiliu wiped Du Xuanmo's sweat with a handkerchief and said, "I'm fine, it's just that it's more appropriate to put him on something." ”

Shen Shiliu told Liu Zhaodi everything, and when Du Xuanmo heard it, he said: "It's true that she should be sent away, but if you can think of a way back for her, it can be regarded as a good thing for her." ”

Shen Shiliu smiled and said, "Since you're here, don't be in a hurry to leave, let's eat here at noon." ”

"No, I have to go home and cook for my mother." Du Xuanmo said.

"What's the hurry, if you take it back after eating, it won't delay your afternoon duty." Shen Shiliu said and settled Du Xuanmo down.

At noon, when he was busy, Du Xuanmo saw that the tables in the store were basically occupied, and began to worry about how Shen Shimei was so tired every day, how could his body stand it.

"It's time to think of ways to make money!" Du Xuanmo said that in the future, Shen Shimei will marry him, and he will live a tight life just by relying on his salary. What's more, he still owes a lot of debts, and he can't always fail to pay them.

Shen Pomegranate didn't have a big order, he fried two dishes casually and let Du Xuanmo eat them first, and then brought food for Du Xuanmo to take away directly for a while.

"I'm too busy to take care of you at this time, you can just go by yourself in a while." Shen Shiliu said.

"Don't worry about me, you don't have to work too hard." Du Xuanmo said.

Shen Shiliu returned to the back kitchen, and Du Xuanmo said hello to Shen Shu after eating, and then went home to deliver the meal first.

When he got home, Du Xuanmo looked at his books and pondered that although the bookstall could not be operated by himself, it would not prevent him from hiring a helper.

"I can only pick up the previous business first, and then think of other ways." Du Xuanmo said.

In the afternoon, Du Xuanmo found an acquaintance when he arrived at the yamen, and he was also very precious in his books, so he had to find a reliable person to hand over the books with confidence.

In the evening, a brother-in-law in the county government who caught fast was literate and said that he had nothing to do now, so he could come over and take over first.

Du Xuanmo spent a night listing all the books, what books were placed, how easy to find, and some precautions for renting books.

Wang Zhen, the brother-in-law who catches the head, came early in the morning, and heard that as long as he looks at the bookstall every day, he will get a tael of silver every month, and he is also very happy.

Du Xuanmo is actually in pain, he didn't say that his income was just more than two taels, otherwise it would not be so difficult to save money for the road before.

"The whereabouts of the book should also be recorded, and every time someone comes to return the book, they have to see if it is damaged and dirty, and I have also written down the specific compensation, and you have time to read it all." Du Xuanmo instructed.

Wang Zhen is very obedient, Du Xuanmo has an official status after all, and he came to rely on his brother-in-law's face, so naturally this errand can't be done, otherwise his brother-in-law won't be able to spare him.

"Don't worry, Master Du, I will do it with my heart." Wang Zhen said.

Du Xuanmo and Wang Zhen moved the books to the place where they used to set up stalls, and Du Xuanmo was not too tired, so he must let Wang Zhen get started at one time.

After returning to the yamen, Du Xuanmo felt that it was not enough to just open a booksstand, and now Shen Shimei's restaurant is estimated to have a lot of water in a day. Du Xuanmo pondered for a long time, and finally figured out the Tao.

Shen Shimei on the other end is still busy, although there is no Liu Zhaodi, but Shen Shu has also retired from the school, and it is always better to have a helper.

"Brother, I'll cook some food tomorrow, and you can send it to Mr. Song, and you can't forget about other teachers just because you don't go to school." Shen Shiliu said.

"Done!" Shen Shu responded that Mr. Song helped him a lot, and he really wanted to visit him from time to time.

After Shen Shiliu's incident with Liu Zhaodi, he felt that Shen Shu's marriage should indeed be put on the agenda, so as not to have many dreams at night.

It's just that the Zheng family really didn't find a suitable house, and when Shen Shiliu was free, he went to find Granny Liu at the previous intersection.

Granny Liu is in her sixties, and her body is quite tough, and Shen Shimei can't go empty-handed to do errands, so she made some desserts and brought them over.

"You girl is really sensible, I have long seen that the little man of the Du family is going to marry you in the end!" Granny Liu said with a smile that the dessert brought by Shen Pomegranate was soft and glutinous, and she didn't find it difficult to eat at her age.

Shen Shiliu smiled: "Granny Liu has won the award, don't I also have a request for my mother-in-law!" ”

Speaking of this, Granny Liu hurriedly put down the dessert and said: "The house is right, it's really hard to find recently, I have a bigger one, you can do a shop in the front, and there is a backyard in the back, even if it is enough for a large family to live, it is a little more expensive, after all, it is a big house!" ”

"You can make a store and live in a house, it's really a good place, but I don't know how expensive it can be?" Shen Shiliu asked, if the burden is not heavy, it can be considered.

"Do you really mean to buy it?" Granny Liu asked.

Shen Shiliu nodded: "Naturally, my brother is about to marry a wife, and he can get married if he has a house in the county!" ”

Granny Liu smiled: "Your father and mother must be happy, such a capable girl, if it were replaced by me, she would definitely be reluctant to marry too early!" ”

Shen Shiliu also smiled, she didn't want to marry too early.

In the afternoon of the next day, Granny Liu came to the door, and when Shen Shimei saw it, she knew that she had inquired about the price.

"Granny Liu is here!" Shen Shiliu said and asked Granny Liu to wait, she went to the back kitchen and cut some apples and pears.

Shen Shimei beckoned Shen Shu and Hong Xiuhua to come over, and this house will also be their wedding room in the future, so it's good to listen to it together.

Granny Liu was also not polite, eating fruit and said: "The house is not far from here, it is enough to do business, the shopkeeper used to open antiques, but the business is not good, and he is in a hurry to sell the house, so now it will cost eighty taels of silver." ”

When Shen Shiliu heard this, he asked Shen Shu: "Brother, after calculating the accounts on the counter, is there eighty taels for another piece?" ”

Shen Shu hurriedly went to the counter to take a look, and then shook his head: "It's only sixty taels." "After all, the restaurant has not been in business for a long time, and if you save it again, you may be able to have eighty taels, but it is estimated that the house sold by then will have already been sold.

Shen Shiliu pondered for a long time, and finally said: "If this shop is sold, it should be enough." ”

"It's not going to work." Shen Lima objected, his father and mother were not around at this time, and he couldn't let Shen Pomegranate be so nonsense.

Hong Xiuhua also felt that it was inappropriate: "Pomegranate, now we are all living in this shop, and I am afraid that except for any forks, this shop is at least a guarantee." ”

Shen Shiliu said: "The people of the world who open shops, when the time comes, they can still continue to open restaurants in a new place, and now they are just pondering, and they have to discuss after looking at the house and the location." ”

Granny Liu took Shen Pomegranate to see the house when she ate almost, the location is indeed not far away, and Shen Pomegranate will pass by when she goes to the vegetable market.

"It's really not easy to have such a good location, is it so difficult to sell antiques?" Shen Shiliu wondered.

Granny Liu said earnestly: "Antiques are easy to look at, get one, it is estimated that it will be in vain in a year!" ”

"It's the same, I won't open for three years, but I'll eat for three years." Shen Shiliu echoed.

Granny Liu brought the person and introduced it to the boss. The boss was in a hurry to sell the house, so he led the Shen Pomegranate House around the inside and outside of the house.

The shop is really big, the most important thing is that there is a second floor, the cooking restaurant is not bad, the back yard is also big, several rooms

It's enough to live, the yard is not small, and you can get some flowers and plants, but according to her mother's idea, it must be a key green vegetable or something.

"Boss, this house is good, but I have to raise money." Shen Shiliu said.

The boss looked embarrassed: "Now I am in a hurry to repay the debt, it's really ......" I can't wait, who knows when I will be able to raise the money?

"Boss, how much do you owe?" Shen Shiliu asked, this matter can be discussed.

"Fifty taels." The boss had a bitter face, and he owed a lot of debts in the end after opening a store, and even if he sold the store, there was not much left.

Shen Shiliu thought about it, and said: "Boss, otherwise I will pay fifty taels first, and the boss can pay back the money first, and the remaining thirty taels will be available when I sell my current shop." "There are sixty taels on the counter, and she bought it from her store for twenty taels, and it should be no less than this price if she sells it again, so it's enough.

"This ......" the boss hesitated.

"It's okay boss, you think about it first, my store is on the back street, happy private dishes, you must know it when you ask." Shen Shiliu said, this is also something you and I want.

The boss should come down, and Shen Shiliu will leave first.

The next day, the boss went to Shen Pomegranate's shop, and the boss also had a consideration in his heart, his store was losing money, and those who did business paid attention to the lottery, so that the store that lost money and closed down should also be considered, and even the price might be lowered.

The Shen family and his wife also listened to Shen Shimei's words last night, although they felt that it was a little risky, but Shen Shiliu said that it was no problem, and they agreed.

"Then let's go to the yamen first and pass the paperwork later." Shen Shiliu said that things are going smoothly.

When he went to the Yamen, Shen's father also followed, and Shen's father also knew that he didn't play any specific role, just to support his daughter.

As soon as the documents passed, there was a yamen seal, and the matter was settled, and the remaining thirty taels were settled within three months, and everyone was happy.

Shen Shiliu is not in a hurry to move, but the big store over there also needs to be planned, and the store here also needs to calculate how much money is appropriate.

"These days, our store is also a prosperous shop, and we definitely can't sell it for another twenty taels." Shen Shiliu said that if the restaurant is still a restaurant in the future, this is a good shop with its own traffic.

"Don't worry, as soon as the notice is posted, someone will immediately come to ask, and this price is absolutely indispensable!" Zheng's face was happy, it was less than two years, from the days when she had to eat hard at the beginning, it suddenly became like this, which she never dreamed of before!

Shen's father was not in the store, but went to the big store to work, and it was not a restaurant before, the kitchen always had to be cleaned well, and the stove always had to be built.

Shen Pomegranate is happy, in this way, as soon as the store here is sold, the new store at that end can also be seamlessly linked and opened directly!
