Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

Tian Xinger's food street plan was to directly occupy the center of the street without occupying the shops on both sides, so there was no need to pay rent. However, she was worried that after her father left office, she would not be able to use the two streets, so she went to the county government to find her father.

"Dad, I plan to rent Changning Street and Dongsheng Street and sign a deed with your government for a 10-year contract. This way, after you leave office, the shop will still be mine and I can still use it. Is that okay?"

"Okay, then sign it under your other identity. Don't use your own name this time, in case someone finds out."

"Yeah. So how much rent do you charge me a year, Dad?"

"100 taels a month, 2 streets is a good deal."

"Dad, this is too expensive. Can you make it cheaper? I'm just taking up space. Passersby can still walk. 80 taels, I may not even make any money."

"Since you built this shop for disaster relief, we will not charge you during the disaster period. You can build it first and see how the business goes. If you can make money, you can get 100 taels. If not, you can sell it to the county government and we will pay you for building the shop."

"Well, all right, Dad. You are so fair and you don't show favoritism to me at all. Now that my daughter is gone, you can ask the chief accountant to draw up the contract for me first. Leave the amount blank for now. We will open the contract and pay the money after the disaster is over."

"Row."

"Then my daughter will leave." After finishing the conversation, Tian Xing'er left with the servants. Her father was too busy and it would be bad to disturb him too much.

As soon as Tian Xing'er left, County Magistrate Tian suddenly remembered that he had forgotten some important business.

"Come here, go post a notice saying that we will hold a five-day dragon boat race on June 6. Find a few people to go to the wealthy families in the county to inform them and ask them if they want to sponsor the race."

"Yes." The bailiff answered and went down to do his work.

Because the food street on Tian Xing'er's side had not yet started construction, he did not let County Magistrate Tian inform the specific date of the celebration, but County Magistrate Tian also asked his subordinates to spread some gossip to warm up the food street celebration. The county also bought a batch of fireworks to be set off on the night after the worship during the food festival.

At this time, Magistrate Tian was glad that his daughter was precocious and good at business. With these back-ups, the people should be able to survive the disaster safely. Now they just had to wait for a large number of grain merchants to come in.

During this period, the free porridge organized by County Magistrate Tian was still going on, but the porridge was getting thinner day by day, and the people had already started to curse. The porridge distribution activity would end in two days. But the grain merchants had not arrived yet. Although there was news that the grain merchants were on the way and would arrive in two days, I was still worried without seeing them. County Magistrate Tian was also very anxious in the past two days, and the houses of the rural people were also being repaired in an orderly manner. Fortunately, it was summer, otherwise a large number of people would have frozen to death.

The wood needed for the construction of Tian Xing'er Food Street was purchased on the same day and delivered the next day.

Magistrate Tian had ordered the area between Changning Street and Dongsheng Street to be cordoned off early. Tian Xing'er's batch of wood was delivered here early this morning, along with the craftsmen, 50 helpers and 5-6 cooks. When the people saw a large group of people entering, they were all wondering if this was the food street the county was talking about.

"Is this the food street? I don't know what County Magistrate Tian was thinking. People are already hungry, yet they are still organizing these activities." Someone in the crowd questioned.

"You don't understand this. I heard that this is to boost the economy and make money for our county, to attract wealthy people from other places to come here. Our food is delicious, so more people will come here. There will be more opportunities to make money, right?"

"Is this really possible? Everyone is broke now, who has the money to do this?"

"I don't know about that. There will probably be notices posted by then."

"Who are you renting these shops to? They look quite large. I heard they occupy two streets. I don't know how much they're going to rent them for."

"I've heard about this. It's open to everyone. Anyone who has skills or sells food and toys can come in. During the festival, you need to sign a contract for the shop. The rent is about twice as much as outside, but you can also pay 5% of your daily income. In other words, if you make less money, you'll get less, and if you make more money, you'll get more. If you don't have funds, we can lend you money, but we'll charge you %."

"It's okay if you don't have money. This seems to be a good idea. Do you know when the celebration will start? I don't know about that. I think we'll have news in a few days."

Discussions could be heard from the crowd from time to time, as people were all curious about this so-called food street.
