The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

The hotel they stayed in was not far from Ningyuanshan's house.

It only takes a quarter of an hour to walk there.

When they arrived at Ning Yuanshan's house, the two sides exchanged a few words of greeting.

Ning Yuanshan knew they were coming today and waited for them at home. Knowing they were busy, he stopped talking nonsense and got straight to the point.

Knowing that they had already had lunch, he expressed his gratitude and took them to see the shop in person.

The first two shops were average, but Zhou Yue and Qing Mo both liked the third one.

The company originally made fabrics and ready-made clothes. It was a stand-alone two-story building, and the owner wanted to expand his business in Beijing.

I want to sell the shop here, but the price is too high, six hundred taels of silver.

It was difficult to find a buyer for a while.

So I rented it first and slowly looked for a buyer.

The containers and other items in the store are free of charge and are given away directly.

The annual rent is five hundred strings of cash.

I originally planned to just take a look, but when I saw that the location of this shop was so good and the store was very clean, I was attracted by it.

When things are so readily available, it’s hard not to be tempted.

However, even with so many advantages, I don’t have enough money.

While negotiating terms with his boss, Qing Mo kept looking at Zhou Yue with his almond-shaped eyes.

The meaning is obvious, they just want to rent it.

Zhou Yue figured that even if he rented the property but didn't do business with it, he could still collect rent by subletting it.

But there is one thing: the other party needs cash to buy a house or rent a shop in Beijing.

Therefore, we hope that we can pay one year's rent in one lump sum, which is six thousand strings of cash, nearly sixty taels of silver.

The Ning family can’t afford so much right now.

I spent too much money a while ago.

But it is indeed a rare opportunity.

Seeing such good conditions, Zhou Yue was afraid that the pie would turn into a trap.

She repeatedly confirmed the other party's house deeds and land deeds, and went to the yamen with the people from the brokerage firm to check them.

Besides, this matter has the biggest pawnshop in the county and Ning Yuanshan as guarantors, so it can't be wrong.

As for why the Ning family was able to benefit from this good thing, it was because the merchants who knew about this matter had all invested their money in the goods.

The New Year is coming soon, and it’s the time to sell goods before the end of the year.

Merchants usually use a lot of cash to purchase goods before the end of the year.

In addition, the end of the year is also the time to collect debts, and most merchants have money in their hands.

Either it is in stock or it is ready to be repaid.

Nearly sixty taels of silver cannot be taken out immediately.

Ning Yuanshan also said: "Sister-in-law, I like this shop very much, too.

But I really can't come up with so much cash.

I've always been thinking about what you said about renting a shop, so I asked you to come and take a look."

Zhou Yue believed Ning Yuanshan's words and felt that the shop could be rented.

While the landlord was talking to Ning Yuanshan, Qing Mo pulled Zhou Yue aside.

"Mom, I want to rent this shop."

"Yeah, I can see it."

"Mom, this shop is really good, the location is good, it's very clean, and the things are all ready-made."

My family runs a fabric and garment shop, and we buy needlework done by young girls and wives in the village.

Or you can hire a few people to help, you should be able to make money.

We can also set aside the side half of the storefront as a separate building.

Open a grocery store and sell our own wild vegetables, fruit vinegar, fried fish, etc.

"If we remove half of the storefront, there won't be much room for fabrics and ready-made clothes, right?"

“Mom, in our fabric and garment store, we can put high-end goods on the second floor.

And the tailors, we can carve out a space on the second floor.

On-site embroidery, cutting and sewing allow customers to see how their clothes are made.

To increase the 'experience' you mentioned, do you think those rich ladies would like it?"

"What a good idea, Qingmo, you really have the talent to do business, you can even think of this."

Qing Mo blushed and said modestly, “I learned all this from my mother.

My mother once said that you should think more about things, don’t be anxious, and don’t just listen to what others say.

You need to see it for yourself and think about it for yourself.”

"My dear daughter, you are so smart."

Zhou Yue and Qing Mo were suddenly surprised that they both agreed to rent the shop.

It seems like we are destined to be together, so let’s rent it.

But what about the capital? After signing the contract, you have to pay a deposit of ten taels of silver.

Pay the remaining rent within half a month.

The two of them pondered for a moment, then raised their heads and spoke together:

"or……"

"or……"

"You speak first……"

"Mom, you speak first..."

"Okay, sheep trading?"

"Yeah, Mom, I wanted to say that too."

It seems that if I want to earn money quickly, I have to sell sheep.

This is of course risky.

Not to mention the danger of selling sheep, it is impossible to collect the remaining rent within the specified time.

The landlord can then use the contract to pocket the deposit and then rent the property out to someone else.

The mother and daughter discussed it and pulled Ning Yuanshan over to discuss it further.

Then decided to bargain.

But the person from the dental clinic immediately shook his head and said no.

If the landlord feels that he is sincere in renting out the property, then the tenant should accept the price.

Later, after several people's persuasion, the broker went to the landlord and talked to him several times.

The landlord finally gave in and said that it was impossible to get any cheaper.

However, we can give discounts and give one month for free every year.

After the Chinese New Year, all businesses are quiet, so the rent for that month can be waived.

That is to say, collecting rent for eleven months.

In fact, it is still a bargain, but the landlord doesn't think so.

Zhou Yue understood that in this case, the tenant must rent for a full year before enjoying this discount.

It’s like the trick in supermarkets where you get a certain amount of discount when you spend a certain amount of money.

This is much cheaper than paying directly every month, which is a good deal for the landlord.

The landlord is going to move out of town, and what he hates most is the constant change of tenants.

Although the distance from Beijing to the county was not far, he always had to put down his business in Beijing and come here to negotiate with the tenants.

He doesn't want to.

What a smart landlord! No wonder he owns a shop and wants to develop in Beijing.

It's true that I can feel the businessman's shrewdness before I even meet him.

While the real estate agent was inviting the landlord to come over and sign the contract.

Zhou Yue explained the matter to Qing Mo.

"Mom, I really opened my eyes today.

I didn’t expect that there are so many tricks in doing business.

It seems like what you often say, 'Learning from books is shallow, one must practice to truly understand'.

No wonder you often ask Xuandi to help with housework."

Zhou Yue chuckled.

She asked Xuan Mo to work with her not just to learn principles and skills.

She also felt that even if boys were to study, they should not be idle and ignorant of the five grains.

It must be "capable of both being in the parlor and in the kitchen; being in the temple and in the fields."

Soon, the ice man from the dental shop led a middle-aged man to the shop.

He introduced the two parties: "Boss Ding, this is Mrs. Zhou, and this is Miss Ning.

You know this person, he is Shopkeeper Ning."

"Aunt Zhou, this is Boss Ding, the owner of this shop."

Zhou Yue and Qing Mo nodded and squatted slightly to salute.

Unexpectedly, the slightly fat boss Ding suddenly became excited.

"Zhou Yue? Is it really you?

It’s me, I’m Fatty Ding.”
