Mountain People

Gu Shuixiu gave him a look of hating iron and steel, and took a sip of tea: "It's impossible for your brother-in-law and I to stay in Zhishui County, we'll be all over the place once this store opens. If you want to withdraw, you will have to wait for the money every year in the future.

I have been staying in the store, and there are still Nizi and Dong Yi in it. I will invite another clever little Er and two helpers, so you can rest assured. "

Gu Daniu is divided, and he is asking for the second and the help of the cook, what business is the big sister trying to do? The shop is so big, what if I can't get it back?

Gu Shuixiu did not continue to talk nonsense with Gu Daniel, nor did she tell Gu Daniel what business she was going to do, so Gu Daniel agreed to her arrangement in a confused way.

Then, the couple took Dong Yi and Dong Xiao to find the middleman that Gu Daniu said. Generally, the business of buying and selling and leasing has to go through the middleman and find it by themselves. Couldn't find a suitable store.

Several people turned around in the alley, and finally stopped in front of a half-new house. Not like those who do business and open shops, but they are much better than those peasants.

Dong Xiao stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, a middle-aged man came out and opened the door. When he saw Shuixiu and his party, he didn't know them, so he guessed their purpose and politely took them away. After entering the door, the middle-aged man asked, "Do you want to buy or sell a house or a shop?"

Dong Chenghu looked at Gu Shuixiu, the corner of Gu Shuixiu's mouth rose slightly, gave Dong Chenghu a soothing look, and then said to the middle-aged man: "We need to rent a shop, it doesn't need to be too big, enough to accommodate a counter And six tables will do, plus a kitchen and pantry would be better. It would be nice to have a backyard lounge room.”

The middle-aged man didn't even blink at Gu Shuixiu's many demands. In their business, he heard a lot of strange demands from customers. Gu Shuixiu's demands were only average.

The middle-aged man went through Gu Shuixiu's request in his mind, flipped through a booklet from time to time, and then said, "Madam, what are your requirements for the location of the store?"

Gu Shuixiu was shocked, she forgot to mention, "Of course, the more prosperous the place, the better, but safety comes first, you know the world is not peaceful, I don't want to do business You have to guard against these things every day.”

The middle-aged man expressed his understanding, "According to your requirements, there are three suitable stores, one is on the main street of the county, the most prosperous, and the store is larger, in addition to the counter, it can hold ten There is a table, a kitchen and a washroom in the backyard, and a small yard with four partial rooms, which can accommodate people. This shop was originally a restaurant, but unfortunately the owner is not a businessman. He has been losing money for three years. I plan to rent out the shop and return to my hometown to farm.

The second store is on the street behind the main street. Although it is not as prosperous as the main street, there are still a lot of people. This store is smaller than the previous one, and it can hold six tables. There is a kitchen in the backyard and a small yard with two side rooms. A small yard can be built as a shed as a washroom, and a partial room can be used for people.

The last room is on the opposite side of the street from the second room. The flow of people is similar to the second room. This room is the same size as the first room, but the backyard is larger. There are six partial rooms.

In general, the first store has the best location and the store is not small, so the rent is the most expensive. Although the last store is the largest, the rent is less than the first store. "

Gu Shuixiu went through the middleman's words in her heart, and thought about it, "How is the rent for the three shops calculated?"

The middle-aged man heard Gu Shuixiu's question and probably knew that the deal could be done, and answered more sincerely: "The first store costs 4 taels of silver a month, one payment a year, and a one-time payment. Forty-eight taels; the rent of the second shop is 22 taels a month, and it is also paid once a year, 24 taels a year, and the last one is 3 taels a month, and 36 taels a year.

I don't know what your wife wants to do? "The middle-aged man looked inquisitively. In his opinion, these rents are nothing to rich people, but it is definitely a huge sum of money for ordinary people. In addition, the world is not peaceful now, and business is not easy to do. The rent of the shop refused to drop, and he hadn't made an order for a long time.

Gu Shuixiu was still indifferent and did not respond to the inquiry of the middle-aged man, but she thought about it. Of the three stores, the first one was undoubtedly the best, but that one There are also the most refugees and beggars on the street. If the store opens, it will have to deal with the begging of these people. She is in business and not a shantang, so she can't help them every day. It is better to choose the other two.

, but the two rooms are obviously not enough, and the second room does not have a kitchen, which makes Gu Shuixiu very dissatisfied, so it seems that he can only choose the third room.

Having made up her mind, Gu Shuixiu no longer hesitated and smiled lightly, "Would you like to take us to see this third store? Start work, but I want to say one thing first, we are doing business, the layout of this store may not be what we want, if we redecorate it then it should be fine, right?"

"No problem, this lady please come with me."

The middle-aged man took the lead, Gu Shuixiu and the others followed behind him, driving the donkey cart slowly towards the shop.

When a few people arrived at the store, they found that many stores were closed nearby, and only a few stores were still open. It stands to reason that this location is also good, why there are no restaurants.

Under Gu Shuixiu's questioning, the middle-aged man sighed: "There are originally three restaurants on this street, one is a restaurant, one is a pastry shop, and the other is a noodle shop, this is not a county. A large number of refugees entered, and some would rush into the store when they were very hungry. These food stores bore the brunt of their goals. They were all small businesses. How could they stop the aggressive refugees? The shopkeepers of these stores were so troubled they closed their doors.

However, these shops are not going to be sold or rented out. They also want to reopen when there are fewer refugees in the county. "

"How do you know?" Gu Shuixiu thought in a trance that the middle-aged man was a know-it-all, but he even knew what his plans were.
