Fertile land

Chapter 229 Rent a Store

This time I didn't see Ye Beiyao when I entered Yumanlou. After bidding farewell to Shopkeeper Zhu, Luo Zhi'er and the others rushed to the morning market.

In the crowded market, she bought several hundred kilograms of fine sweet potato seeds and soybeans, as well as many vegetable seedlings and vegetable seeds...

After lunch, Luo Zhi'er walked in front, and Li Sanmao pulled Miaomiao behind.

Li Sanmao's heart skipped a beat when he thought of the thirty taels of silver that shopkeeper Zhu had given his wife in the morning. It was thirty taels of silver just for selling a house with dried bean curd. At this time, he didn't know what his wife was thinking.

"Husband, I plan to open a bakery, what do you think?"

Suddenly, his wife spoke to him...

"Daughter-in-law, this is a good thing. You had this idea before. It's just that opening a shop requires a lot of money. Shopkeeper Zhu just gave me a lot of money, but you just bought the foundation and you plan to build a house. How about opening a shop? Let it go again..."

I don't know why Li Sanmao always feels helpless and inferior when it comes to such things.

Because it doesn’t cost a small fortune to open a shop, buy land, and build a house!
To put it bluntly, money is the source of confidence!

"Just tell me whether you support it or not?"

"Does this need to be said?"

"That's it!"

Turning around, he went to the house trading place in the town, found his teeth, and showed them five facades.

West Street, Xishui Street, East Street, Chunxi Road and the main street of Yumanlou...

In the end, Luo Zhi'er settled on a bakery near Yuman Building, because she was sure that her bakery needed to build a bakery, and not only sell bread, but also drinks in the future. It would be best to be comparable to modern afternoon tea, and there would be a lot of fun inside. To place books, she chose a place with a beautiful environment. Guests can sit down and look at the street view, and feel that it is enjoyable to take a break...

Although Li Sanmao didn't know his wife's specific plans, he was still very cooperative and gave a lot of advice and help in finding a dentist, negotiating prices, and looking at houses.

Since it is in a central location, the price is naturally not cheap, or even ridiculously expensive. She needs at least 60-80 square meters!

Therefore, when Yazi said that the monthly rent required by the employer was twenty taels, and this was to be paid for four months at a time, three taels were paid and one was deposited.

In other words, the rent alone costs 80 taels, and she also has to hire workers to decorate and pay for materials. Without taels, it is absolutely impossible.

Li Sanmao's face turned red and he wanted to pull Luo Zhi'er away. Luo Zhi'er touched her money bag. Fortunately, she was prepared, "No problem. Please inform the owner that we are willing to sign a contract!"

"Husband, you and Miaomiao are waiting here for the landlady. I'll be back as soon as I go!" Luo Zhi'er took advantage of the heat and took her seal and deposit certificate to the bank without explaining to him.

Since she agreed to rent the house, Yazi happily ran to find the owner to sign the contract. After all, he could get 40% of the commission!

Li Sanmao waited for them helplessly.

When Luo Zhi'er came back with the money, the owner's wife suddenly looked contemptuous.

She thought the loud-mouthed customer was a boss this time. When she saw that the couple were dressed in country style...

When she came to look at Li Sanmao, she was disappointed. The man's eyes were panicked. How could he look like a boss or shopkeeper?

When he saw Luo Zhi's child, he immediately became worried. The two of them didn't look like that rich lady at all! Will I be able to pay the minimum rent in the future? She didn't want to have to go to court just to get the rent!
"Haha, may I ask where you two are from?"

"Mrs. Dong, we are from Zhaoli Village. My name is Li Sanmao and her name is Luo Zhi'er!"

"What? You live in the village?...Is there any private property in the town?"

"Um...no." "Then what business are you planning to do?"

Li Sanmao glanced at his wife in embarrassment and wanted to make toast, but Luo Zhi'er said first, "Eating business."

"What to eat?"

"It's a fresh food I developed. I can't tell you what it is specifically at the moment!"

After all, food had to be taken advantage of, and she couldn't reveal it before the store opened.

Aunt Li's face darkened. This Xiao Ding influenced her to play leaf cards.
"Ding Yazi, can you be more reliable? Who are these people you introduced to me?"

What a joke, is there any problem with this newly developed food? Can you sell it for money?
"Ahem... Aunt Li, don't worry. Brother Li and his wife are very reliable people. We have been working together for so many years. Don't you still believe in my vision?"

"Hmph, that's okay, my aunt will believe you this time, but if something goes wrong then you will have to take responsibility!"

This house has not been rented out for several months because of the high rent. Last time, it took more than half a year to get the rent after a lawsuit. Finally, someone was willing to rent it, and she was not willing to waste resources.

"Ah, this..."

Ding Yazi was also a little scared this time. Although he thought Li Sanmao and Luo Zhi'er were nice people based on his first impression, something went wrong. According to the contract, the compensation was paid in real money, not just a little bit, and he was not willing to pay. silver……

Isn't that a big mistake?
"Haha, let's see, Mrs. Luo, do you know anyone in the town? We want him to be a guarantee, you see..."

Luo Zhi'er traveled to a lot of places today and found out that this store was in a good location and she didn't want to lose it. In this case, let's fight for it!

"That's it. Just wait a minute while I think of something!"

This acquaintance had to be reputable, so Luo Zhi'er ran to the Yuman Building next door and went in. Storekeeper Zhu was seeing off guests at the front desk. When he saw her running in with sweat on his face, he went to greet her.

"Hey, Madam Luo, is there something there?"

"Oh, haha, no, Uncle Zhu. Actually, I have something to trouble you with..."

"Oh? If anything happens, just say so."

"It's like this, don't I want to sell that toast in town? I want to rent a house, but the landlady doesn't trust me and Sanmao, so I want you to be a guarantor!"

"Haha, it turns out that's what it is. It's a small matter. Just wait. I'll tell the waiter a few words and then let you go."

Shopkeeper Zhu stroked his beard and smiled. It was really not possible to do business in this town without connections. The bread baking business was bound to be a big hit. He was not afraid that she would not make money. Speaking of which, he heard her say in the morning that she would not sell it for the time being. Still a little disappointed!
The assets in Madam Luo's hands were probably more than just a few hundred taels.

When Aunt Li saw that the person who came was the shopkeeper of Yumanlou not far away, she immediately felt very good. She hurriedly greeted her and changed her face.
"Oh my, it turns out to be Shopkeeper Zhu from Yumanlou! Who am I talking about? Madam Luo, you told me earlier, so what kind of guarantee do you need? With you, Shopkeeper Zhu, as the guarantee, I can rest assured ,Hahaha!"

"Haha, Aunt Li, since there are rules for signing a contract, we should follow the rules." Shopkeeper Zhu said calmly.

"Since Shopkeeper Zhu insists on doing this, I won't be polite."

You came and went, signed the contract, took fingerprints, paid the rent, and found a decoration worker with the help of Shopkeeper Zhu before going home.

Luo Zhi'er first explained his decoration requirements and style to them, and then drew the drawings from Foreman Wu.

I have to sigh, if you know people in town, they are very efficient and reliable!
