Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

"No, this is too low. When I exchanged it, it cost 100 taels!"

The boss is really in a hurry, and he has the intention of pushing people away.

The old lady was not annoyed, she persuaded him to sit down, and then said calmly, "Brother, I believe that when you exchanged it, you really paid 100 taels, but you were cheated by others, the price is too high.

"I've inquired. The rent of this shop is 20 taels a year, and 60 taels in three years. You have been open for another three months, and the business is very bad. It can be said that the reputation of this shop is even worse. I will give you 50 taels. It's already reasonable."

The boss looked bad, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.

He was indeed cheated at the beginning, and he also wanted to exchange the original price to the Li family, so that he would not have to bear the loss.

I didn't expect the old lady to be easy to cheat, so he was not willing to do so.

Seeing that his expression was relaxed, the old lady said again, "Brother, we don't have to sell this shop, let's just keep chatting, and I have to advise you to sell the shop quickly.

"Your business is not good. Don't talk about the monthly rent. It's a pity that you are tied up here. Otherwise, you can find an easy job and earn an extra wage if you don't pay for it. .”

The boss heard the truth from the old lady, and finally sighed, "Auntie, I understand what you said, it was when I came to send the children of the clan to study, and I saw that this place is good, so I planned to settle down and earn some money, I never thought it would be like this. Now that I’m back in despair and have to lose money, I really feel bad.”

The old lady persuaded, "You are still young and have experience. After you go back, take a good look and find another business. It is not difficult."

After all, she glanced at the shop and said again.

"Brother, you should be able to see that our family is not well-off. The rent of 50 taels is indeed a fair price. I can't add more. But if you don't want to take away the tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, we will keep them. , how much will I add to your travel expenses. Do you think about it?"

Sure enough, the boss's face became better again, he hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

"Okay, I'll take you to the backyard to have a look. If there is no problem, let's write the contract."

The Li family members were all overjoyed, they got up one after another, and followed the boss back.

Jiayin lay on the back of the third aunt, walked last, and looked at the small courtyard carefully.

As the boss said, this yard is really nice.

There are two shops in the front, except for the counter, there are eight square tables, and each square table is equipped with four stools.

A small half of the space is separated by wooden boards at the back, and the small door covered by the blue floral cloth is the stove, with two pots and stoves built.

On the wooden shelf next to the pot and stove, some pots and pans were piled up, all covered with dust.

After passing the compartment, is the door leading to the backyard.

In the back yard, there are two main rooms, and there is a courtyard door next to the main room, leading to the alley.

There are three wing rooms on the left, and the courtyard wall on the right. Under the courtyard wall are bamboo poles for drying clothes. Near the corner of the front yard, there is a well with bluestone slabs.

The boss put some sundries in the west wing room, the two rooms in the main room are very spacious, each room is enough to separate the inside and outside, and accommodate three or four people.

The more the Li family looked at it, the more satisfied they were. This place was enough for the family to start a small business, and Jiaren could come over occasionally to settle down.

The boss probably made a decision, so he didn't care about it. He pointed to the sundries in the west wing, the tables and chairs in the main room, and the pots and pans in the stove, and said.

"Auntie, if these things are purchased, they will cost seven or eight taels of silver, and I don't want too much. Give me five taels of silver, and I will leave them all to you."

"Success, when does the eldest brother want to move? We have a mule cart, and I will give you a helping hand."

Mrs. Li agreed readily, thinking about when to come to clean and when to open.

After all, after signing the contract, this shop is his own, and he has to pay rent every day.

The boss was even more swift, "Let's sign the contract right now. I'll take the money and leave. I'll go to Xindu tonight and go home with a caravan."

Soon, he personally invited the neighbors to help to testify, and invited a scholar who wrote letters on the street to write the deed.

The number of years, rent, and five taels of silver for exchanging items are all clearly written. The boss wrote his name and pressed his fingerprints.

On the side of the Li family, Mrs. Li asked Li Laosan to sign and press her fingerprints.

After all, their family will run the business in the future, and they will come forward when something happens.

In the end, Mrs. Li paid the money in front of everyone, and got the original contract signed by the boss and the owner.

In this way, even if the boss is jealous of the business in the future, he will not be afraid to come and make trouble.

Just in case, the old lady asked the boss for the address of his hometown in detail.It's not far away, it's in a small suburban town two hundred miles southwest of Xindu.

The boss was eager to return home, so he packed up a package and left without any bedding.

Li Laosan laughed and thanked the neighbors, and made an appointment to invite them to drink after the opening.

No matter whether they were worried or gloating, the neighbors responded politely and then left.

A family of five, all with smiles on their faces.

"From now on, it will be our shop!"

"Yeah, the kitchen is a bit small, and I can't turn my body away. Do I need to change it?"

"It's easy to make a simple change. We'll deal with it temporarily in summer, and I'm afraid we'll have to make major changes in winter."

Jiayin refused to stay on the aunt's back, and ran around in the field, causing the old lady to yell, "Don't go to the well."

"Understood, grandma." Jiayin obediently agreed, but took advantage of her family's inattention, and went straight into the wing room.

Then, a lot of things were brought out from the space.

One hundred cabbages, more than 100 carrots, half a basket of eggs and duck eggs, and more than a dozen rabbits were killed quickly.

The various mung beans, red beans, soybeans, and millet saved last year weighed more than ten catties.

Green beans, cowpeas, eggplants, pumpkins, cucumbers and other vegetables were picked a lot, filling the empty baskets in the house.

Even, the few sauce jars that were brought into the space in Qingshui Village at the beginning, she turned around, gathered a full jar of sauce, and put it in the corner.

After finishing all this, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

These things are all produced in the small courtyard of space. I occasionally fill some in the kitchen at home on weekdays, but there are still too many left.

Today is a good opportunity to digest the inventory and save a fortune for the family.

Zhao Yuru was fetching water by the well, when she saw her little niece coming out of the wing room with a cucumber in her arms, gnawing on it as she walked, she was very surprised, so she asked.

"Fu Niuer, where did you get the cucumbers?"

Jiayin smiled and pointed to the room behind her, "Auntie, there are many in the room."

"Oh, did the boss keep some green vegetables?"

Zhao Yuru was very strange, threw the bucket, and entered the wing room, and then she ran out in a panic and shouted, "Mother, third child, come and take a look. There are so many things in the room!"

Mrs. Li walked over with a rag in her hand, glanced at her granddaughter, and walked in.

In the room, there are almost piles of green vegetables, cabbage and radishes, and even sauce jars...

Zhao Yuru was overjoyed, "At first I thought I had to go home to get it, but now it's easy. The boss before was really a good person, and he didn't count these things for money."
