Chapter 210 Buying a Shop

"Baiyang Street is crowded with people and customers. If you want to find a shop here, it might not be easy. Most of the shops on this street are ancestral homes, and very few people will sell them. Even if there are shops that are willing to be rented out, I guess there will be a lot of people vying for them, and the price will probably be very high."

"That's quite troublesome, isn't it?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. He felt a little worried.

"If you want to buy a shop, you may need to think about it more carefully," Aunt Li continued.

"What should we do?" Mrs. He said worriedly.

"Mom, don't worry, we'll take our time looking. We still have some time."

Xu Qingmeng also knew that the shops facing the street were not easy to sell, after all, it was the same in any era.

Even on bustling streets, not all shops are in good locations; some are in less desirable spots.

Xu Qingmeng said, "There's no hope for a prime location. A slightly off-center location is fine too; it's just a matter of finding a spot on either side."

Aunt Li thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then there are a few inconspicuous ones, but I don't know if they're willing to sell."

"However, there's a guy in this alley named Xiao Li who does this kind of thing. He's a really nice guy and very loyal. You can ask him to keep an eye out for you. But since he does this kind of thing, he'll definitely charge you."

After hearing this, Xu Qingmeng realized that it was just a so-called intermediary! So, she could understand it.

Mrs. He wanted to ask how much it cost, but Aunt Li didn't know, since it was her own shop.

"How about I take you to ask them?"

"Is that okay?"

"Of course, it's not far, we'll be there in no time. I've watched this kid grow up since he was little, he's really down-to-earth."

"Here, this is my house. You can come and visit when you have some free time. There's a pomegranate tree in front of my yard, and it's growing really well right now. If you like, come and pick some."

Xu Qingmeng and Madam He smiled and agreed. Gu Yunyi was not with them; he was studying at home.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked toward Xiao Li's house. When they passed in front of Aunt Li's house, no one was home and the door was closed.

"We're here, we're here, we've arrived at Little Li's house. Little Li's wife is nice, but she's also pitiful. She was sold to Little Li's family by her stepmother. But she's a good person, straightforward and honest. She wasn't ruined by her stepmother and didn't grow up with a bad temper."

Leonardo DiCaprio's wife is petite with slightly yellow skin, but she is very attractive.

After hearing from Aunt Li about Xu Qingmeng and He Shi's purpose, she happily said, "The husband isn't home. I'll have Erbao go and call him back. Please come in and sit down. I'll pour you some water."

Li Jinhu's courtyard is not big. Although his wife looks delicate, she is quite fertile. They have quite a few children, so there are probably not enough rooms for them all.

These rooms are similar to modern prefabricated houses, but relatively simple, just partitioned off with boards.

Just as Xiao Li's wife finished making the sugar water, Xiao Li came back.

Little Li was tall and strong, and very energetic. He greeted the He family as soon as he came in.

"Auntie, are you looking to buy a house or a shop?"

Before He and the others could speak, Aunt Li spoke up first: "Aunt Gu wants to buy a shop on Baiyang Street. Her house is in the front, in the courtyard that Old Liu guards."

"So you're from the newly moved-in Gu family. No wonder it feels so familiar." Little Li immediately struck up a conversation. Xu Qingmeng thought to herself, "As expected of someone in sales, he knows how to talk."

The Gu family's courtyard was one of the best in the area, and the neighboring courtyard was also quite large. Originally, neither courtyard was inhabited, so no one was curious about them.

Now that the Gu and Zhou families have moved in, and the two families still have such a good relationship, they've been busy these past few days, buying quite a few things. Even if you don't deliberately inquire, the people around have noticed.

The two families didn't interact much, but everyone knew that both families had bought the houses, not rented them, so they must have some wealth.

Xiao Li was in this line of work, so he naturally knew more than the average person. He also knew that the two courtyards were originally owned by four families, and that the people who came to handle the paperwork were people under the command of the county magistrate of Quan County.

Even if they weren't from the prefectural city, they were still connected to officials, so they couldn't be treated casually and had to be treated properly.

Upon hearing that they wanted to buy the shop, they immediately became professional.

First, I asked them about their requirements for the size and location of the shop, and then I asked them what kind of business they wanted to make.

Xu Qingmeng hasn't decided what kind of business to start yet, and she's not in a hurry. However, she thinks it will be something related to food. Actually, she prefers to open a restaurant.

However, it's not like the mainstream kind; it's more like the kind of private kitchen restaurant from my previous life, where you don't need a lot of customers, just someone who truly understands good food.

In this case, the storefront doesn't need to be particularly nice, and the environment shouldn't be too noisy; a quieter environment would be better. However, this isn't a business that can immediately gain a reputation.

Not only will it not make money in the short term, it may also require you to pay out of pocket.

However, this is just an idea of ​​hers, and it can only be implemented after she gives birth. If she wants to make money, she would actually prefer to open a hot pot restaurant.

"Actually, there aren't any special requirements, but it would be best if there were a courtyard. As for the storefront, there aren't too many requirements."

Xu Qingmeng's statement was rather vague and didn't offer anything particularly useful.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Li said, "In that case, I'll first show you some pictures of food stalls on Baiyang Street and in the surrounding area. It's not convenient for my sister-in-law to travel back and forth while she's pregnant. If you see anything you like, you can go to the shop and take a look. Is that alright?"

"Really? Won't that be too much trouble?"

"No, no, Auntie, please sit down for a while."

"That's really kind of you."

"You're too kind, Auntie."

After saying that, Xiao Li went out to get the blueprints.

Xiao Li's wife explained, "The blueprints and all that stuff are in another yard. That yard is bigger, and there are more kids there. But the yards are quite close. We'll have some sweet soup and be back soon."

Xu Qingmeng understood immediately; this compound was just like the so-called real estate agency in her previous life.

However, there are some differences between ancient and modern real estate agencies. Modern real estate agencies only deal with houses, but here they also deal with intermediaries, such as slaves.

Xu Qingmeng and Madam He exchanged a glance. The family had also been planning to buy someone, and the two of them became interested.
