Lin Xi said: "I spent a day looking for in the market, and finally I fell in love with four shops. You see, this is the basic situation of their location. ”

"The first one is a rouge shop, and the proprietress is about to move her family to the north, so she is selling this shop. It is located at the intersection of the first street of the East Market, and it is an important area in the prefecture in all three directions, so the location can be described as excellent. It's very expensive, it costs 1,500 taels. ”

"The second shop is at the end of the third article of the East Market, it is a bookstore, the flow of people is okay, but the location is not very good, and the rent is 400 taels a year."

"The third one is a cloth shop, on the second street of the West Bazaar, the location and the flow of customers...... It's okay, it's just small. The boss wants to go to Linxian to do other business, so he sells this at a low price, which is seven hundred taels. ”

"The last one, in the middle of the second street of the West Market, is a shop selling jewelry. It's not big, it's not small, and the price is 1,000 taels, which is medium. ”

However, all things considered, these four are already the shops that she has been able to put down within her ability by gritting her teeth so far.

Elsewhere, it's either too expensive, or the location isn't good, or the owner isn't ready to rent or change hands.

Shen Chen pondered for a moment, and then pointed to the first two that Lin Xi said.

"It's appropriate to pick one of the two."

"Why?" Lin Xi asked.

Shen Chen said: "For the other two shops, I have heard of some specific situations. ”

"For example, in the third shop, the owner sold it at a low price because there was a murder there. It's just that the government pressed down, and the people around him tacitly didn't talk about it, and they gradually stopped patronizing it. It was because this business was getting more and more sluggish that the boss thought about closing the door and going to Linxian. He said.

Lin Xi was surprised: "That's the case." ”

When she inquired today, the people around her said that the owner of this shop had a good character, but he did dodge between his words, and he refused to continue after saying a few words.

She thought they were too busy to talk to a stranger like her.

Lin Xi immediately took out a pen from his arms and drew a big cross on this shop.

It doesn't matter if something happens, the question is that if there is no traffic, what will she do with it? Isn't that just waiting to lose money!

Shen Chen looked at the mark she drew and was a little puzzled: "What does this mean?" ”

"Oh, just no, don't mean it."

"Then your pen ......"

Lin Xi spread it out to show him, and said a little proudly: "I especially want to make it for myself, but it is much more convenient than your brush." ”

Shen Chen saw that Lin Xi was holding a slender piece of carbon in his hand, one end was wrapped in a strip of cloth, and the other end was used for writing.

But what he noticed was what Lin Xi said: "Your brush? ”

"Ang, I'm really not used to it, and the words I write are like a dog."

Lin Xi said casually, and couldn't wait to ask, "What about the fourth shop?" What's the mystery of this shop? Why don't you suggest I choose this? ”

Shen Chen looked at her, raised his eyebrows, and followed her words: "The owner of this jewelry shop has offended someone, I remember that it seems to be from Linxian, and this boss is about to run away." In addition, the official deed of this shop has been mortgaged, and if you buy it at this time, you will inherit the boss's debts as well. ”

"What? Really?! ”

"Seriously, unmistakable."

Lin Xi was speechless: "When I inquired, the boss didn't leak any words, this is waiting for me to get in as a scapegoat." I have no conscience! ”

She was puzzled again: "Shen Chen, how do you know about this kind of thing?" ”

Shen Chen poured her a bowl of water, pushed it in front of her, and explained: "Do you remember the time when Zhao Dequan came to the house to get the hot pot ingredients a few years ago, and you didn't tell him all of them?" ”

"Aang."

"Although you didn't say it at the time, I guess you may have to sell the hot pot ingredients by yourself, so you don't want to give the recipe of the hot pot ingredients to Zhao Dequan. There are no more than two possibilities in the back, one is you. Open your own store, and secondly, you have found other people to partner with to do business. Either way, it's always good to plan ahead. ”

After speaking, Shen Chen said, "Lady, wait for me for a while." ”

He got up and went into the house.

Lin Xi looked at his back in confusion, vaguely guessed something, and his heart was pounding.

Soon Shen Chen came out, still holding a scroll in his hand.

He came over and stopped at the table, opened the scroll and spread it out on the table.

Lin Xi saw that this turned out to be the entire layout map of the county!

There are also six places circled with cinnabar.

Lin Xi raised his head to look at him: "Shen Chen? ”

Shen Chen explained: "This is borrowed from Lizheng, and he is also in charge of the official deeds of each shop in the county, and has the planning situation of various places in the county. I asked the official to help me pay attention to all the shops that have been registered and transferred leases in the next month, so I know the specific situation of your two shops. ”

"In the end, I chose these shops that are suitable for you at the moment. The location and price are suitable, the boss is also innocent, and there will be no special debts. ”

"Among them are the rouge shop and the bookstore in your own photo, these two are considered to be in good condition."

He pointed to the layout of the bazaar on the left and pointed out the locations of the two shops.

Then he pointed to the rest and said: "These four are the grain inn, the inn, the garment shop and the dim sum shop, and their owners only reported to the government a few days ago that they would be rented, and the paperwork will be half completed." You don't know it's normal, and I only had an official messenger send it to me this daytime. ”

Lin Xi was shocked: "You, you've done so much......"

Shen Chen looked down at her, then leaned down and half-squatted in front of Lin Xi, his eyes were level with hers.

He held Lin Xi's hand and patiently explained: "I know you want to open a store on your own to do business, I won't interfere." But as your father-in-law, I still have to do something for you. For example, help you understand the situation and avoid things that are not good for you. ”

His voice was low and soft: "You don't have to listen to my decisions. Have a number of these stores in mind, and choose the ones that are pleasing to your eyes. ”

"I know."

Lin Xi's heart moved, and a trace of sweetness lingered in his heart.

Shen Chen said again: "You also know where to put the family's money, just take the flowers, if it's not enough, I still have a way to make money." By the way, I have already found someone to rent the other half of the land in your name, but the other party's family is not rich, and the rent will be paid after a month, and half of the harvest will be yours. ”

Lin Xi didn't understand the matter of land, but he was shocked.

She didn't expect Shen Chen's efficiency to be so high.

She pulled him to his feet and said, "You decide." ”

Shen Chen hummed, "It's not early, let's rest." ”

Lin Xi's chick nodded like a peck of rice: "It's really time to rest." I can't settle down for a while, so I have to go to the county again tomorrow to see the situation of these shops. ”
