On the second day after the grain merchants arrived, grain prices throughout Hu County dropped, but they were still very expensive compared to other places, and many people still lined up to buy grain.

The food street is being built, and flyers and notices are being posted in the city. The food street is officially recruiting merchants. From today until the 22nd of this month, anyone can register at Tianxiang Tea House. Currently, there are 50 shops that can sell on credit to the public.

A notice was also posted at the city gate, and people entering and leaving the city gate were watching. At this time, a young man stood in the front row and explained to other illiterate people.

"Here, there are 50 shops in the food street that are open for rent. During the celebration from the 25th to the 30th, no rent will be collected. The rent will be collected after the celebration. The rent methods include: the first one is 200 coins per day during the celebration, and 100 coins per day after the celebration, and 3 taels per month; the second one is based on profit sharing. The shop owner provides the shop, and you provide labor and materials to do business, that is, no rent is collected, and the profit sharing is 55-25. All of the above contracts can be terminated after the celebration. However, the shops are selective. The food must be well-made and the entertainment must be interesting. Generally, the items cannot be repeated. Registration starts every morning, and the evaluation results will be posted in front of Tianxiang Tower on the second day. The selected ones will sign the contract on the same day and can directly move into the shop before the th."

As soon as he said this, some people ran away and headed straight for Tianxiang Tower, but most people were still hesitating.

The young man went down and continued. "There are also 40 shops for rent, with monthly rents starting at 3 taels at market prices. Short-term rentals are also available, starting from 10 tael and 1 cents after 5 days. Anyone who rents a shop during the celebration will continue to rent it after the celebration at the original price, and those who did not rent a shop during the celebration will have to pay 2% more.

Finally, there are 10 shops here that are looking for 50 odd jobs, 20 errand runners, and 10 cleaners. People from poor families will be given priority, regardless of gender. "

After the young man finished reading, people around him began to discuss whether to rent it and what they could use it for. The women in the crowd were very excited when they heard the last item and rushed to Tianxianglou. But they didn't know that this last item had actually been reserved for the elderly, women and children who had lost their homes and lived in temporary sheds, temples and other places.

On the other hand, the county government also sent people to notify the village heads of each village, asking them to inform the villagers in each village about the food street shops, and the county government provided guarantees.

The villagers were all excited when they heard the news. They all surrounded the village chiefs and asked them about the details. Many families who were still struggling to pay for food and grain made a decision and set off for the county town that night, planning to spend the night at the Chenghuang Temple outside the city and go back to Tianxianglou to register the next morning. Others who had some money were hesitant about whether this food street could make money, but they were also afraid of losing money, and they also had to choose the right rent. As for renting it directly, they almost didn't consider it.

County Magistrate Tian also gave separate notices to several artisans who set up stalls in food craft shops in the county town, and told them that they had the choice of renting a shop. On the one hand, it was first come first served, and on the other hand, the products had to be unique. The more special the items, the better the chances of getting a shop, so they should make preparations early.

Soon after the promotion of the food court was announced in the morning, Tianxianglou was already filled with queues. By early noon, the queue stretched almost half the street. There were so many people signing up that the queue was split up when it got to the restaurant and divided into different private rooms for registration according to different types of food.

"Brother, what are you queuing for? It's so lively and there are so many people queuing. Is someone giving out porridge again?"

"No, that's not the case. Didn't you hear the news? The news has spread everywhere today. The food court is about to open. The shops are free and it's first come, first served."

"What a good thing." The person who asked the question was so excited when he heard it.

Another person in the queue behind him interrupted, "Don't listen to his nonsense. It's not free. You still have to pay the rent after the celebration."

"Hey, what nonsense am I talking about? There are many ways to pay the rent. You can pay it after the celebration, or you can split the profit 50-50 with the shop owner. It's free, isn't it?"

"Really? I'll go line up too." After saying that, he ran impatiently to the end of the line and lined up.
