Chapter 290

Song Xintong looks at shopkeeper Jiang and suppresses people with power?

Shopkeeper Jiang knew that he had been misunderstood and quickly explained: "they already had the intention of renting. As long as our owners come forward, they are willing to sell our owners a face."

Song Xintong nodded, "these shops are their own?"

"Some are, some are not. The two families in the alley are their own. If Mrs. Lu is willing to give more money, they should also be willing to sell." Jiang Guanshi said: "one of the families wants to move to the capital because his son is an official in the capital, while the other family is the son of the family. He is in a hurry to change hands."

"Mrs. Lu, why don't you go and have a look? It's also a matter of fate to choose a shop. It's OK to take a fancy to it. "

Song Xintong nodded, "I'll go to have a look later. If I like it, I'll trouble Jiang Guanshi to come with me."

"That's what we should do." Jiang Guanshi said: "although these shops have not been put into the yamen, they have already let out the wind, and some people have been asking about it. Madam, it's better to make a decision earlier."

"I understand. Thank you for being in charge of Jiang."

"I'll leave first."

After seeing off Jiang Guanshi, the twins ran in and said, "sister, our family is going to open a shop again?"

"Sister, what do we sell in our shop? Do you sell vermicelli? "

"Open a restaurant." Song Xintong answered.

"How much silver does that cost?" Dabao asked

"The annual rent is 800 Liang, and the cheap one is 500 Liang." Song Xintong said.

"So much?" Dabao was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide. "It's only 200 Liang a year on the dock. It's so expensive here. I'd better not open a restaurant."

"But there are so many people here. It costs several Liang silver to eat a dish. We will earn the rent soon." In Song Xintong's heart, the consumption power on the wharf is not big. Most of them are past businessmen or small managers. They can earn 40 Liang a month and 400 Liang a year. Of course, this is because their shop is their own.

If they were in Lingnan City, their spending power would have risen several levels. They could sell two or three liang of 100 Wen vegetables, and they could earn back the rent in three or four months at most. The rest was almost pure profit.

"Really?" Dabao is still worried.

"Don't be afraid. It doesn't matter if we try." Song Xintong thought that if they lost money, they would quit. At most, they would lose more than 1000 liang of silver. In the next year, they would earn money by selling more vermicelli and peppers.

"Sister, do you want to ask your brother-in-law?" The twins have only seen one or two taels of silver, but they have never seen hundreds of taels of silver. Xiaobao, who has always been willing to spend copper, is worried.

"Naturally, I have to ask. I can't be the master of such a big thing." Song Xintong touched two people's heads, "well, go to help Da Ya sister cook. We'll go to these shops after lunch."

After lunch and a rest, song Xintong took Daya and they went out to see the shop. First of all, I went to three restaurants on the main street, which are not far away from each other.

Song Xintong asked Daya to park the carriage in a shady place and hide here to observe several shops. The businesses of these shops were average. Most people went to several restaurants nearby, as well as the Zhuangyuan restaurant and Jixiang restaurant in front of them.

The internal structures of the shops are almost the same. They have two floors. They are quite large and they are also on the street. It is estimated that the bad business is because the food is not delicious or novel. But she is not here to help them solve the problem, so it has nothing to do with her whether it is delicious or not.

Song Xintong went to the two shops in the fork road, which were not far away. There were also many shops. There were all kinds of rouge shops in teahouses and taverns, but they were not as big as those on the main street.

Soon, song Xintong found the two shops listed by manager Jiang, not far from each other.

One is a cheap restaurant, the other is a teahouse.

Eager to sublet, the next teahouse is still in debt. Now it's afternoon time. There are several guests drinking tea in the teahouse, and they are chatting.

Song Xintong led the twins into the teahouse and found a window seat to drink tea.

If you look at the teahouse carefully, it's also on the second floor, but it's bigger than the shops on the main street, but the decoration inside is not very good, and it's just next to a crossroad. There's an exit for cold noodles in all directions.

Song Xintong thinks that most teahouses will open in places with good environment. There must be trees, flowers and lakes. It's better to open a food shop here, such as a rouge shop nearby. The business is very good.

"How are you, sister?" Dabao knew that this was one of the alternative shops, so he was curious about how she would choose.

"Not bad." Song Xintong looked back at the second floor where there were few people, and then looked out the window across the street. There are still people coming in and out of the cheap restaurant, so he thought the business was good.

Xiaobao embarrassed whispered: "sister, I want to pee."

Song Xintong looked at him and suddenly thought of something, "come on, I'll take you."

Led twins downstairs, found is lying on the table dozing tea delivery small two, "small second brother, can you borrow your cottage here for a use."

The tea delivery boy looked at Xiaobao, who was feeling his stomach. He thought that there was nothing in the garden behind him, only some snacks and snacks, so he nodded, "madam, come in with me."

To the backyard, the backyard is very big, including the kitchen and the room where the shopkeeper lives. Xiao Bao followed Xiao Er to the cottage where they lived, while song Xintong stood outside the yard and looked at the kitchen.

The kitchen is big and bright, and there is a well in the yard outside, which is convenient for getting water.

Xiaobao ran out from behind: "sister, I'm fine."

"Come and wash your hands." Song Xintong scooped a little water to wash Xiaobao's hands, and gave thanks to the tea boy. Then he walked forward.

"If only you had a place to park the carriage. Our horses are still out in the sun." Song Xintong deliberately said.

"There were some, but the owner blocked the back door, so the horse shed couldn't be used," the tea delivery boy said

"Why is it blocked? How inconvenient. "

"No one's watching behind. It's easy for thieves." The tea boy answered.

"So it is." Song Xintong was relieved, took Xiaobao to the second floor, observed for a while, and then went downstairs to leave.

Several people drove to the lakeside again. The location of the lakeside was very good, but it was also a bit awkward. The brothel was not far from the lakeside, so song Xintong subconsciously ruled it out.

"Isn't it good here, sister?" Dabao saw that song Xintong didn't think much and was about to leave. He asked in a puzzled way.

The twins don't know that the brothel is next to them, and song Xintong doesn't want to pollute their ears now. "Most of the people who come here come to the lake at night, and most of them come out after dinner, so it's not good."

The twins thought naively: "it's like this, or sister's thoughtfulness."
