Chapter 48： set a shop

"This is the first."

What about.

Maybe she saw that Chen Xing didn't react when she saw the store, the bag asked and laughed, looked at Chen Xing and said with interest: "Do you want to go in and have a look?"

Chen Xing turned his head to look at him, a bit of surprise in his eyes, he thought it would be best if he could go in and take a look.

In the opened store, I had a few words with the owner who guarded the store, and then I took back a bunch of keys and helped them open the door in front of them.

There is only one thing that makes Chen Xing feel a little embarrassed, that is, the place where the restaurant is located is too far away, there is no place for shopping nearby, and there are sporadic households. Even if Chen Xing wasn't worried about his cooking skills, he didn't feel that he could be a guest in a place like this.

That bag was also very patient in inquiring. After seeing Chen Xing nod, he directly took Chen Xing and the others to the second shop to be rented.

Chen Xing looked at the restaurant in front of him, which was at the end of the street, and seemed to be a few years old. He was worried that if he rented the shop, he would need to spend money to repair it.

Bao inquired about the ability to observe words and feelings. Seeing Chen Xing's hesitation, he smiled and said that he could go first and see if it would work.

Chen Xing nodded without hesitation, and followed him in with a glimmer of hope. He felt that if the furnishings inside were two or three floors newer than the outside, he would be able to accept it.

. He was a little curious about how the shop was so dilapidated, how it persisted until now.

Bao asked Chen Xing, who looked disappointed and curious, and explained kindly: "This shop has been around for about 40 years now. When I grow up, my children are not around, so I want to rent out the shop so that I can exchange some living expenses."

Speaking of this, the corner of Bao Quotuo's mouth raised a smile, and continued: "Of course, if someone wants to buy it, they are also willing."

Chen Xing heard this and asked instinctively, "How much do they want?"

The smile on Baotou's mouth deepened, and he continued: "Four hundred taels!"

Chen Xing took a deep breath, he felt that the price was too expensive for him, he could not afford it at all, and this shop was not worth that much.

Seems to understand what Chen Xing is thinking, and seems to have been questioned many times. After seeing the shock on Chen Xing's face, Bao Tuo said directly: "Although this shop looks old , but it is in a good location, if you buy it and renovate it, it will be a good place for family heirlooms."

Chen Xing understood, this is called a premium, but he has no money now, so he looked at the man in front of him who seemed to be a good talker, and asked a little embarrassedly: "We can go to see it again. Do you see anything else?"

"Of course."

Bao asked without the slightest impatience in his eyes, and took them to another two-story restaurant for rent across the street.

Looking at the brand new sign at the door, Chen Xing was a little moved. When he went in and saw the brand new decoration inside the shop, the clean kitchen, and the small yard with the patio, he wanted even more On the spot and the package to inquire and settle down.

Bao asked, leaning leisurely by the door, looking at the excited Chen Xing, knowing that he must be very satisfied, so when he finished reading, he said: "Do you like this little boy?"

Chen Xing nodded, calculated his savings, and felt that if he could accept it, he gritted his teeth and rented it. Looking at the man in front of him, he asked directly, "I am very satisfied with this place. How is the rent calculated here?"

Bao asked and laughed, revealing his big white teeth, and quickly said: "Fifteen or two a month."

Baotou, who has always been very talkative, shrugged, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Sorry, this is not what I ordered, this is the minimum amount given by the seller. If it goes lower , there won't be any relief over there. And as you can see, the decorations here are all new, and if the original owner can't keep up, it's absolutely impossible to let it go."

Chen Xing was a little disappointed when he heard that there was no room for price reduction. He felt that he really liked this shop, but he really didn't have that much money.

Bao inquired and didn't speak, just watched quietly, waiting for Chen Xing to make a decision.

Just as Chen Xing struggled for a long time, he still wanted to give up this shop and chose the old shop just now, when suddenly the bag next to him inquired as if he had thought of something, slapped his hand, and said with some annoyance :

"By the way, I came to a new shop yesterday. It used to make food, but it was not two floors, but one floor. Would you like to take a look? I think that It might be right for you, both in terms of price and location.”

Seeing that things took a turn for the worse, Chen Xing's eyes lit up all of a sudden, looked at him and nodded, and said excitedly, "I'm going to have a look."

Gu Lang, who had been following Chen Xing without saying a word, and then heard that Bao Da heard that there was another shop, glanced at him lightly, and there was a hint of unintelligible emotion in his eyes.

After Chen Xing nodded, Bao Quoting took them to the next street and came to the last shop.

Chen Xing looked at this familiar street, there was a somewhat familiar store door, and said with some doubts: "I remember that this store was not operated not long ago? Why did you take it so quickly? Are you renting out?"

Chen Xing still remembers the vicious appearance of the proprietress of the shop. Why did she disappear in just a few days, not only did the proprietress disappear, but even the shop had to be replaced.

Bao asked when he heard his question, his eyes flickered, he quickly regained his peaceful smile, and explained: "I heard that something happened to the original owner, and he is now locked in So the original owner here wants to find a new tenant.”

Chen Xing was a little shocked when he heard that the tenant had committed a crime, and then he heard that the main house was urgently renting, and began to be a little worried. He was worried that if he rented this shop, he would encounter any trouble , after all, he just wants to do business honestly, but he doesn't want to get involved in any trouble.

It is about the peace of his shop in the future, Chen Xing looked at the bag and asked directly, with a cautious tone, "It won't be a problem if this shop is rented?"

The business below is all innocent. If there is a problem, you can find me when the time comes. No one in this city knows about me."

Chen Xing still felt a little strange, but Gu Lang, who had been silent next to him, also opened his mouth and persuaded: "Why don't we go and have a look first, if it is suitable, we can actually rent it. After all, this deed is to be done by the government, and if something goes wrong, justice can be sought."

Gu Lang didn't speak much all the way, but suddenly he made a sound, causing Chen Xing and Bao Qun beside him to look in his direction.

Chen Xing listened to Gu Lang's words, and his heart settled down. He felt that what Gu Lang said was very reasonable. Since there is evidence from the government, there is nothing to worry about. He turned his head to look at the bag next to him and asked, "If you have trouble, take me in and see."

Bao Tu Ting glanced at Gu Lang. At first, he only thought that this scholar-like man didn't understand anything, so he kept silent. Who would have thought that if he didn't open his mouth, it would be such a direct stab at the point when he opened his mouth, which made him a little impressed.

Bao Toutou thought about it for a while, and soon came back to his senses, met Chen Xing's expectant eyes, and returned a smile, "Of course it is possible." After speaking, he went to find the key, Opened the shop in front of him.

After entering, Chen Xing took a good look at the store, and saw that the four sets of tables, chairs and benches were placed there intact, and the kitchen utensils in the back kitchen were quite a lot. If they wanted to, they could cook up a few dishes right now.

And Baotou also said that these things in the main house are useless, so if Chen Xing wants to rent this shop, these things will be reserved for him.

What surprised Chen Xing even more was that he brought a yard with ginkgo trees and three small rooms. Can be used as a box.

Chen Xing felt very satisfied after reading it. Although there was no second floor, the three small rooms completely filled his vacancies. He even thought that if he cleaned up the backyard and the three rooms Yes, the effect is definitely better.

Thinking of what Baoda had heard before they came in, Chen Xing turned to look at Bao, who was standing beside him, and asked directly, "How can I rent it here?"

Bao asked and stretched out his palm, spread it out in front of him, made a five, and then in Chen Xing's bright eyes, said softly: "The owner of the rental said, as long as you can give me a month The security deposit, pay the rent for another three months, and then rent for three or three months, even if you have five taels of silver a month."

Chen Xing's eyes lit up instantly. The price he said was not only within his tolerance, but the money he asked for happened to be the savings he had saved during this period. Thinking of this, he immediately made a final decision: "Okay, I rented it."

Seeing that Chen Xing made a decision so quickly, and I am very happy to inquire about the package that will soon receive a sum of money.

Chen Xing and Bao inquired about when they agreed to go to the government to sign a contract, and after giving him fifty cents for showing them the house this time, they separated.

On the way back, Chen Xing still sighed a little. Although he would have to ask Bao for a hundred cents for the rest of the payment in a few days, he was very efficient and let him find it so quickly. Good shop. However, soon he was a little worried about preparing for the opening.

"What's the matter?" Gu Lang, who was next to him, looked at a cheap one. Chen Xing, who should be happy, frowned, looked rather worried, and asked a little puzzled.

Chen Xing turned his head to look at him, and directly stated his concerns, "I was just thinking, next I should go there to find someone to decorate the shop, and hiring work is also a big problem. At that time, there will be a lot of things to do in the store, so I can’t let Qiu Jiu and I have more than two people, but we have to take care of cheating and cheating, and it will be a big trouble at that time.”

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's wrinkled face due to distress, smiled softly, and in his puzzled eyes, he suggested in a low voice: "Actually, when you have these questions You can ask Bao to find out, although he charges a little expensive, but the price he can get is extraordinarily fair."

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Gu Lang, and said suspiciously: "Did he say he was not in charge of renting the house? Why does he take care of other things?"

Gu Lang seemed to think that Chen Xing, who was so ignorant, was cute, the smile on the corner of his mouth grew wider, and he continued: "Of course not all, people who rent houses don't come every day, if not How can he live so well with other side jobs. So he is slightly involved in other things related to renting a house."

Chen Xing was stunned, and said with some admiration: "He really has a brain!"

"That's why he has the qualifications to be willful!" Gu Lang added, "After all, if he doesn't have these skills, how can buyers automatically come to him?"

Chen Xing nodded in agreement when he heard what he said.

"So, just find him, and your troubles will be relieved. Next, you only need to think about how to manage your new store." Gu Lang reminded very gently road.

"Hmmm." Chen Xing nodded obediently, then as if thinking of something, he looked at Gu Lang with bright eyes and said, "It's been hard for you to accompany me out today, wait a moment. Let's go to the vegetable market to buy some food, and we'll have a good meal when we get home."

Chen Xing thought that today was so smooth that it didn't take much time, then he still had a lot of time to use when he went back, so he twisted his fingers and said: "Well, there are still many more today. Time, we can slowly make a big meal. Later, I will make a braised pork, I will cook it for a while, the stew will be rotten..."

Gu Lang listened to Chen Xing pondering his plans, his eyes were always very gentle, and the corners of his mouth always had a soft arc.

The two walked side by side towards the vegetable market, looking like a young couple who lived through life.

Chen Family.

Master Chen is standing in the garden, teasing the new favorite in the bird cage hanging on the book, and he is full of laziness. Next to him was a young and beautiful little maid holding a tray on which he placed the bird food he needed.

Just when Mr. Chen was having fun with the birds, the butler walked in slowly, first bowed to Mr. Chen, and then said: "Master, what you ordered, I've done it."

Hearing what he said, Teacher Chen stopped the movement in his hand, turned his head to look in his direction, looked at his serious face, and put the bird-like thing in his hand on the little girl's On the tray, he waved at her to let her down.

"Yes." The housekeeper told Mr. Chen about today's events with a serious face, "I found out that there was indeed a female prisoner named Qiao Xin in the women's prison a few days ago, and I used some means to make They aggravated her sentence and asked them to exile her. Today is the day they exiled the prisoners. I went to the scene specially to confirm that the woman was also among the prisoners under escort. Presumably, she will not be able to come back in the future. "

Hearing the butler say this, Mr. Chen curled his lips, obviously very happy, and praised him: "Well done." The butler's face showed some gratitude, Then he said, "That's right, sir. I have already taken back that shop, and I have asked my nephew to help sublet it out. It is estimated that I will receive the rent in a few days."

Hearing this, the smile on Mr. Chen's face became more and more prosperous. He patted the butler on the shoulder and said happily: "I'm still very relieved when you do things."

Master Chen took back his hand, put his back behind him, and asked casually, "I heard that your brother is looking for something to do recently?"

The housekeeper's eyes lit up when he heard what Mr. Chen said, and he couldn't wait to say: "Yes, sir, I'm sorry, sir. My unworthy brother is really looking for something to do recently."

Master Chen stroked his beard and continued: "It just so happened that there was a vacancy in the grain store some time ago, you can ask your brother to come and take a look."

"Yes, yes, thank you for your praise. It's really a good fortune for the young man to do things for the master."

"Okay, as long as you do things well, I will not treat you badly." Master Chen patted his shoulder and promised with a smile.

Don't blame me for being cruel, who told you to be so ignorant?"

Chen Xing and Gu Lang bought a bunch of vegetables and went back, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Qiu Jiu waiting at the door.

Looking at Qiu Jiuyi as if he had something to tell Gu Lang, he was no longer here to interfere with them, and said hello as if putting the dishes in his hand back into the kitchen.

Gu Lang glanced at Qiu Jiu and asked Qiu Jiu to wait for him for a while. He followed Chen Xing to the kitchen to put the dishes. How to arrange his small shop, after coming back to cook later, he returned to the study slowly.

Gu Lang swept the gray layer on his body before entering the room, and then sat on the seat, looking at Qiu Jiu who had been waiting since just now, said lightly: "What's the matter? Just say it."

"Yes." Qiu Jiu responded, then took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and carefully handed it to Gu Lang, "Sir, this is what we found."

Gu Lang took the letter from his hand and glanced at it, then sneered and said sarcastically: "Then the Chen family is not greedy, but the Zhao family has the majority."

Qiu Jiu raised his head quietly, looked at his son's expression, and seeing that he didn't seem to be angry, he said softly: "Master, since those families have swallowed so many things, So what do we do next?"

Gu Lang hooked the corners of his lips, and the corners of his mouth showed a bit of irony, and said in a cold tone: "Naturally, he will spit out as much as he eats, and I will make them I spit it out little by little!"

Qiu Jiu's heart froze, and he cupped his hands and replied, "Yes."

Gu Lang looked down at the letter paper in his hand, flicked it lightly, and continued: "Go and check, what is the relationship between this Zhao family and the original county magistrate."

Although Qiu Jiu felt that Gu Lang's order was somewhat inexplicable, he still obeyed.

After leading Qiu Jiu with the order to leave, Gu Lang glanced at the things in his hand again, then slowly got up and took down a thick dictionary from the bookshelf.

The dictionary was opened, but it was empty inside, and a lot of similar paper had already been put in it, but seeing that it was already a few years old, Gu Lang glanced casually, then put his hand Put the new chapter in here and close it again.

After doing all this, Gu Lang just looked at the sky outside the window and sighed helplessly, "I wanted to slow down, who would have known that you were so impatient, and now I can't blame me."

After I had the remainder, I happily took it back.

Then took out a pen and paper on the table, and began to draw the layout of his new store according to his own ideas. When the revision was finished, he looked at the painting that made him extremely satisfied. After thinking about it, he directly picked it up and prepared to go to Gu Lang to help him take a look and let him give him some advice.

When Chen Xing walked to the door, he saw Snowball lying under the porch basking in the sun at a glance. He took three steps and took two steps to come to Snowball, picked him up, and said happily : "Let's go, let's find Gu Lang together, you want to see him too!"

Chen Xing responded with two dissatisfied cat calls, "Meow~meow!"
