Chapter Eighty-Three: Arrived
That guy took Jiang Yan to a few places, three thousand taels really can't buy any particularly good shops in the capital, those bustling streets have long been covered by various dignitaries, and she can't insert it even if she has enough silver. Most of the shops they went to were in the southern city. The people living here are all ordinary people, and the price of the shop is not so high that Jiang Yan can't afford it.
The shop now has a string of small tin bowls with red cloth tied underneath, and it was originally a pewter shop. Several nearby streets are all doing business, and all kinds of guigns are hanging high outside the store, and a few guys are planning to solicit customers outside, and with the shouting of the roadside stalls, it is a bit lively.
Jiang Yan didn't have any special preferences after seeing a few places, her silver came for nothing, and she didn't feel distressed when she spent it, looking at the flow of people in this place, there were also a few alleys around, and she didn't have to worry about renting out if she wanted to come to the store, so she decided to buy it here.
She and her buddy walked around the shop twice, "I think this store is in a good location, why is the owner going to sell it?" ”
The guy can be sent out by Shopkeeper Li, and he also understands the various situations of these shops, and when he heard her ask, he didn't need to think about it and directly told the situation of the shopkeeper.
"The owner of this shop is ready to go back and take over the family business, and the industry in Beijing is ready to sell. Is the girl interested in this? Seeing Jiang Yan nodding, he said happily, "Then I'll go find someone to come over." ”
The store was in the backyard of the shop, there was only one young man there, and when he saw that someone said that it was Li Jiya's store and wanted to find the owner to see the buyer, he immediately ran to the backyard, and shouted in his mouth, "Dad!" A buyer has come to see the shop! "It turns out that this is the shopkeeper's son.
Before the kid had even entered the backyard, the shopkeeper who had heard the shouts in front of him had already come out, slapped his son on the head, and reprimanded, "What do you look like frizzy!" ”
He walked up to Jiang Yan and the others, who were standing in front of the counter, and arched his hand: "Xiao Li is a good agent, is this girl who wants to buy my store?" ”
Jiang Yan nodded at him and said, "Yes, I don't know how you plan to sell this shop?" ”
The shopkeeper asked his son to continue to look at the shop and invited them to sit down in the backyard, "Let's get straight to the point, you have also seen my shop, the business is actually very good, the surrounding environment is also good, you will definitely not lose money if you accept it." If it weren't for the fact that no one was in charge of my family's flower and tree business, urging me to go back, I wouldn't have changed the shop, and the price of 2,800 taels was definitely not high. ”
Jiang Yan was a little interested in hearing the flower and tree business, but now she should settle the matter of the shop first.
She thinks that the price of 2,800 taels is indeed okay, she still remembers that she just heard that a small courtyard costs 2,000 taels, and there is a yard in front of the shop and behind the store, although the space is not large, it is also good. But bargaining still has to be there, although she won't, didn't she bring someone over?
Then there was a period of discussion, and finally the price of two thousand six hundred taels was negotiated, and they could go to the yamen to go through the formalities today, but Jiang Yan had to give them a few more days to pack up their things and deal with the rest of the goods.
Jiang Yan was not in a hurry to do anything in this shop, so she happily gave them ten days.
After the matter was settled, they went to the yamen, and on the way Jiang Yan asked about what the shopkeeper had just said about his hometown.
"Your family is in the flower and tree business?"
"Yes," the shopkeeper seemed to be very proud of this, and when he saw that she was interested, he proudly introduced, "Don't look at me, I opened a small shop, my flowers and trees are famous in the whole county!" Which family builds a garden and can't buy flowers and trees from our Feng family in Lixian County! ”
Jiang Yan was disappointed when she heard him say that it was the flowers and trees used to build the garden, she thought it was the kind of big flower field that specializes in growing flowers, Jia Baoyu made rouge is the material bought in these flower shops, but people don't do small business, she is also ready to meet an acquaintance to buy some in the future, and there is no hope for this.
The people of Li Ji Yaxing are very familiar with the yamen, this Xiao Li agent took them there, but the contract was completed in an hour, Jiang Yan took the title deed that had just arrived, and sighed in her heart that she would change from the proletariat to the propertied class today. It would be nice if it were in modern times, but she wouldn't be able to make that much money in modern times.
The shopkeeper was also very happy with the two thousand six hundred taels of silver tickets, and enthusiastically told Jiang Yan that if he wanted to build a garden or something in the future, he would go to Lixian to find him.
Jiang Yan nodded in response, if she had a house to build, it would probably be seven or eight years later, and it would be a question whether the shopkeeper would remember her or not. However, the Jia family is estimated to build a Grand View Garden after a while, but unfortunately she doesn't have the ability to introduce people.
Jiang Yan rented out the shop to Xiao Li's agent, and she was ready to go back to Jiafu, and when she left, she remembered one thing, she asked Xiao Li's agent, "I don't know if the price of masonry and wood in the capital has risen these days?" ”
Xiao Li's agent didn't know what she was asking and suddenly asked, but he replied honestly: "No, these are rare changes for many years, and we still have a wood shop in our hands that is ready to change hands." ”
Jiang Yan thanked him and turned around and went back to Jiafu. She was calm on the surface, but she was muttering in her heart, isn't this Yuan Chun about to be crowned a concubine? Then it's going to save the province to build a grand view garden, why hasn't this news been released yet? Didn't those well-informed relatives of the emperor get the news a long time ago and start letting his shops stock up on materials such as shingles, bricks and stones? Could it be that the emperor has not yet had the idea of letting the concubine go home to visit?
She always thought that Qin Keqing was dead, and there was almost news coming out of the palace, didn't she give her dream to Wang Xifeng, but she didn't expect it to be still, but unfortunately Xie Jingxing was not there, otherwise she could ask him.
Jiang Yan was a little annoyed in her heart, she seemed to have missed an opportunity to make a lot of money! It's late October now, and it's estimated that by the end of the year and early next year at the latest, the news of the provincial relatives will be released, and all the mother's families will start to build the provincial relatives' courtyards, and it is the right time for her to start buying trees and stones for the garden, otherwise when the matter is completely spread, she can't buy anything with this bit of silver.
It's a pity that most of her silver has been used to buy shops, and even if she buys a few hundred taels in hand, she can only earn a little money. Thinking about the amount of thought spent, Jiang Yan was discouraged, so forget it. Anyway, it's useless for her to ask for silver, so she still doesn't bother with it.
But it's still a little depressing, it's rare for her to not use things in the system, and the way she came up with to make money is actually so wasted. No way! She finally came up with an idea, even if she didn't use it, she had to make it work!
