From the end to the other world

The day after the decision was made, Qin Luochuan and Shang Qingyue went to the town to find a suitable shop.

Yuxi Town is located at the junction of the north and the south, and it is not a big or a small traffic artery, so it is quite prosperous.

Located in a transportation hub, the local people are generally not too poor, and Yuxi Town is no exception. It can even be said to be very rich, as can be seen from the scene of He Feixing selling mooncakes.

At the very beginning, He Feixing only asked for five hundred mooncakes, but did not mention the specific price, and Qin Luochuan didn't ask. Later, he only knew that the mooncakes were selling well. When the money was finally distributed, Qin Luochuan only knew that He Feixing actually sold for five hundred. Ten coins a piece.

A mooncake is only that big. Qin Luochuan roughly calculated that the cost would be sixty-seven cents, plus labor and profit, and fifty cents would be an exaggeration, but not only did he sell it for this price, It can even be called priceless.

It can be seen that besides the deliciousness of the mooncakes, the richness of the people in Yuxi Town is also an important reason. After all, a duck egg costs only one penny, and the money for mooncakes is enough to buy fifty duck eggs.

The town is getting bigger, and every area and even every street is different.

For example, there are many rich people living in the East Street, and there are many businessmen traveling from south to north in the West Street. Each street has its own characteristics. Qin Luochuan and the others need to choose a place that is most suitable for their teahouse.

Although Qin Luochuan has lived here for two years, but because he had no idea of ​​doing business before, apart from a general idea of ​​what is around, he is not very clear about the details.

The two of them were not in a hurry, and slowly observed everywhere, from the flow of people to the composition of the residents living nearby, they all had to be investigated. At the same time, they entrusted He Feixing to help keep an eye out for suitable places. He is a businessman in the first place. , There will be some unique views on the choice of paving.

Knowing that Qin Luochuan and the others planned to do business in the town, He Feixing was not surprised, on the contrary, he had a feeling that this was indeed the case. After hearing Qin Luochuan's entrustment, he turned around and gave orders, so that everyone in the shop under him should pay attention.

Compared with He Feixing's calmness, Yang Xi was much more excited.

Recently, his husband is about to give birth, so he can only stay at home and can't go anywhere else. Yang Xi is also at home, but after hearing that Qin Luochuan and the others are looking for a shop, they hurried over and suggested that they open the shop near the academy. .

Then the opinion was collectively rejected by the three of Qin Luochuan.

Although the academy is located in a decent location, there are not many other shops nearby. Apart from the residents living nearby, there are only scholars who come to the academy every day. How many customers can there be if the shop is opened there.

In the end, Yang Xi had no choice but to explain it to himself. After Qin Luochuan opened a shop in the town, at least he could buy what he wanted, and he didn't have to go all the way to Chengjia Village, let alone trouble Qin Luochuan and his wife to make it for him.

After figuring it out, he happily went back to accompany his husband.

Qin Luochuan also wanted to go to Yazi to help introduce the shop before, but he and Shang Qingyue both had high requirements for the environment and location of the shop, so they decided to choose a rough area before making plans. If before that, Being able to find a suitable shop by yourself can save you a commission.

In a few days, the two of them almost went around the whole Yuxi Town, and met Shang Mingchi during the period.

At that time, the two were standing on the corner of the street to observe the pedestrians on the road, to see which ones were just passing by and which ones would spend nearby.

When Shang Mingchi came out from the nearby shop, he surprised the two of them, "Hey, isn't this the third brother and the third brother-in-law?"

Qin Luochuan glanced at him, but didn't speak. Shang Qingyue frowned, but also didn't speak.

What Shang Mingchi has always hated most is Shang Qingyue's expression. He obviously didn't say anything, but his eyes tell you that he disdains your behavior.

But after seeing the simple blue clothes on Shang Qingyue's body and the wooden hairpin on her head, Shang Mingchi thought about it and said, "Third Brother hasn't seen Fourth Sister for a long time, I went to see her the day before yesterday. At that time, she had already started to take over some things at home. Now that she is busy, there are many things in my shop, and it is even more difficult to meet each other. I am a little envious of you, third brother. It's quiet here."

Such a naive way of showing off, even though I have seen it many times, Qin Luochuan still wants to laugh, but Shang Mingchi still enjoys it.

Shang Qingyue didn't even bother to answer, and said directly: "Husband, I don't think there are any suitable shops around here, let's change to another place."

Then the two left directly, leaving Shang Mingchi stomping on the spot, but he didn't know what he thought of, and after a while, he went into the shop by the street humming a little tune.

Meeting Shang Mingchi was just a small episode, the two of them didn't take it to heart, they just tacitly drew that area out of the shop's optional range.

Their shop doesn't want to be on the same street as Shang Mingchi's grocery store.

After a few days of inspection, the two roughly selected two areas, and decided to go to the dental shop the next day to ask the dentist if there was any shop for resale there.

But before they came to ask, news came from He Feixing that there was a restaurant next to a certain stationery store in their house for resale, and the location was okay, and the shopkeeper had already made an appointment with someone to let them buy it tomorrow. Go and have a look.

On the second day, Qin Luochuan and Shang Qingyue went to the town early in the morning. He Feixing's shopkeeper Qian led them to meet the owner of the restaurant next door who wanted to resell the shop.

The shop is located on the East Street. After Qin Luochuan had seen it, he realized that the restaurant had two floors, and each floor occupied a large area.

This is much wider than what they had planned before, but the East Street where the shop is located was originally the area selected by Qin Luochuan. In addition, the main street is in front of the shop, and the bustling market is open on the second floor. You can overlook the entire East Lake. On the other side of the lake are stacked green hills. The green mountains and green waters complement each other, and the scenery is excellent.

Qin Luochuan and Shang Qingyue looked at each other, and they both saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.

The owner of the shop was surnamed Sun. He led Qin Luochuan and the others to look around the shop and said, "Since it's Brother He's friend and was introduced by Shopkeeper Sun, I won't ask you for the price. 300 taels of silver. No?"

Qin Luochuan turned his head and glanced at the shopkeeper Qian who came over together, and seeing him nodding his head slightly, he knew that this was indeed the lowest price.

Let shopkeeper Qian come over with him, firstly to introduce them, and more importantly to help Qin Luochuan determine the price.

Qin Luochuan didn't know about it before, so naturally he didn't know which shop was worth the money. The money shopkeeper was different. He had been doing business in this neighborhood all year round, so he naturally knew exactly which shop was worth.

But 300 taels of silver...

Qin Luochuan frowned, the amount was a bit beyond his budget, so he asked, "Can you allow me to think about it for another two days?"

"Yes," shopkeeper Sun nodded, "but it's better to tell me the result sooner."

"You don't have to wait for a few days," Qin Luochuan was about to respond when Shang Qingyue interrupted, "Shopkeeper Sun may have a quieter place here, let's discuss it."

Seeing that the person who said this was Shuang'er, shopkeeper Sun froze for a moment, seemingly surprised, but seeing that Qin Luochuan next to him didn't refute, he smiled and said, "It's still early, and the private rooms on the second floor are all empty. The two of you can go to the top to discuss."

After closing the door of the private room, Shang Qingyue first asked: "Is there anything dissatisfied with my husband?"

Qin Luochuan said: "No, it's pretty good here."

"Then why didn't we just buy it?" Shang Qingyue asked, "It's because..."

Before Shang Qingyue could finish speaking, Qin Luochuan interrupted awkwardly: "It's just what you think, I don't have enough money."

Shang Qingyue suppressed a smile and asked, "How much is the difference?"

Qin Luochuan felt even more embarrassed by his smile, rubbed his nose and said, "It's not bad, but I only have 300 taels of money left on me. If I buy a shop, I will ask someone to buy things later. It's useless."

There are still 30 taels of change in the cabinet, but that is reserved for the family’s usual expenses, and winter is coming soon, so there are still many places to spend money.

"I have," Shang Qingyue said with a smile, "I have the money to hire people and buy things later."

Then he said: "And you said, I can also make decisions about things in the shop in the future, so I want to buy this shop now."

After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Qin Luochuan with a smile.

Seeing his appearance, Qin Luochuan couldn't help but also laughed, "Okay, buy it if you say so."

Forget it, since Shang Qingyue likes it, and he himself is quite satisfied with this shop, then buy it, anyway, the money is enough, as for the future use, he will not really be willing to use his husband's private house Money, if you think about other ways, you can't make it. If it doesn't work, you can pick out some valuable things in the space and sell them.

So after the two went down, they agreed with Shopkeeper Sun that they would bring money to sign the deed tomorrow, and then go to the Yamen to transfer the deed.

It's just that even if the house deed is transferred to Qin Luochuan's name tomorrow, the shop cannot be owned by them immediately, because shopkeeper Sun still has a lot of unfinished business.

Shopkeeper Sun proposed that the shop be completely handed over to Qin Luochuan in a month's time. At that time, he would keep all the tables, chairs and utensils in the shop as the rent for this month.

Qin Luochuan thought for a while and agreed, because in the next month, although there will not be much life in the field, there are still some things to do, and the family also needs to prepare things for the winter, even if the shop is handed over He, too, can't devote himself wholeheartedly to this. It's better to wait a month later, and it will be convenient for shopkeeper Sun, and they will be completely free at that time.

Before going home, Qin Luochuan decided to buy some vegetables and cook a good meal to celebrate that he bought his favorite shop in just one trip.

There are also vegetable sellers on the East Street, but not as many as on the West Street, and the variety is not as rich as there.

Anyway, it was still early, so the two walked to West Street again.

Qin Luochuan chose a large piece of pork ribs, and planned to cook it in a pot at night. It's been cold in the past few days, so it's just right to eat a steaming pot.

While paying, he heard loud scolding coming from the other side of the street, so he turned his head and saw a group of people dressed as servants chasing a man with sticks, that man seemed a bit like Shang Mingchi, It's just that there are so many people in West Street, and the people there are running fast, before Qin Luochuan could see clearly, a group of people ran to the next street.

Neither he nor Shang Qingyue like to join in the fun, and even if the person being chased is Shang Mingchi, it has nothing to do with them.

So after paying the money, the two picked some other vegetables and fruits, filled a basket full and went home satisfied.
