Chapter 523 Shop Stall

Although they didn't know what potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams were, they knew that trusting Lord Su and Madam Su was definitely right.

It was also because Lord Su and Madam Su came to Hezhou that so many changes took place in their Hezhou.

Now when I walk on the street, I see smiles on everyone’s faces and hope in their eyes.

The shops along the pier have completely changed their appearance and become so beautiful.

There is also a lot of food, and the prices at the grocery store are very affordable.

Anyone who wants to buy food can buy it at a cheap price.

Unlike before, Hezhou was still raising food prices.

It is completely different from the appearance of Hezhou before.

"Look, there are a lot of stores over there!"

“These stores are different from before, they all look so nice.”

"There are chairs over there. If you are tired of shopping, you can rest on the chairs on the roadside."

"Look, there are more ships docked at the pier."

"Yes, there are people setting up stalls at the dock. After the flood, the dock was very empty, all the shops were closed, and there were almost no ships moored at the dock. I didn't expect it to be so lively now."

"Look, the roads over there have been repaired. It will be very convenient for carriages to pass back and forth."

"Yeah, even if we're pulling cargo, we won't be jolted back and forth."

“I didn’t expect such a big change to happen in Hezhou.”

"This is just the dock side. I don't know what has become of other places."

Many people took a bath and changed into the new clothes issued by the government. They walked along the roadside and looked at the changes at the dock, marveling at them.

There were also some stores selling things they had never seen before.

As for this milk tea and pastry shop, they don’t even know what it is.

There were a lot of people queuing at the door.

They also saw a shop with a sign that said it was for rent.

They couldn't help but go in to take a look.

There were a few people in uniform who did not mind their shabby clothes. They warmly welcomed them in and poured them hot water.

"Is this big brother looking to rent a storefront at the pier?"

"How do you rent out your shop at the dock? It costs a lot of money every month, right?"

The pier is so beautiful now, it must be very expensive to rent a store.

Moreover, most people cannot afford to pay the rent once a year.

The Lin Ya man explained enthusiastically, "Our Lord Su is always thinking about the common people. The rent prices vary depending on the location. The shops at the dock have just been built, so the rent is cheap at first. Some are one or two taels of silver a month. If you are a refugee returning from outside and have difficulties, after filling out the application form and the situation is confirmed, you can pay the rent on a quarterly basis. That means paying three months' rent first, and then another three months' rent after three months. This way, you can also avoid commission..."

Anyway, they have basic wages and bonuses, and Mrs. Su will not treat them unfairly.

But Mrs. Su demanded that everyone be treated equally, entertained well, and no one be discriminated against.

Explain the situation of their store in detail to each person.

We should encourage people who return to Hezhou from outside to rent shops and start small businesses.

The people of Linya couldn't believe that one day they would be able to work for Madam Su.

At first, the dock here was dilapidated and some shops were closed because it was washed away by the flood. There were not many people here, and no one bought or rented a shop.

At that time, Mrs. Su bought the entire wharf at once, and it was Mrs. Su who he entertained at that time.

No one expected that Mrs. Su would buy so many stores at once, buy all the land near the dock, and buy so many farms.

At that time, he made a lot of commissions directly.

Because he had a good service attitude and was patient, Mrs. Su saw his potential and hired him to rent a new shop at the dock.

Working with Mrs. Su makes him full of energy.

He is now a small manager and his salary and bonus are higher than those of ordinary employees.

He has to do his job well.

Mrs. Su said that the better you do, the faster you will be promoted.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't believe it. At the beginning, the shop paid one tael of silver a month, so how could it only pay for three months?

Some of them had a few taels of silver in their hands, which were all their accumulated assets. Even when they went out to escape famine, they didn't spend much silver.

Some of them have some skills, and it would be nice if they could start a small business.

And he looked and saw that there were really a lot of people here.

"Of course, if you think renting a shop is too expensive, you can also set up a stall. The stall fee is much cheaper, only 300 coins a month. However, the stall is relatively small. In our food court, it is also sheltered from the wind and rain, so you don't have to be exposed to the wind and sun outside..."

"We provide a small dining cart, and everyone can use it for free, but you need to prepare the utensils..."

If Shen Yueyao were here, she would definitely say something, just like the food court in the shopping mall in the technological age, one stall at a time.

She thought it would be inconvenient to set up a stall outside on rainy or snowy days.

We can build a snack street and food plaza inside with small stalls to make it convenient for everyone to shop.

Moreover, some tables and chairs can be arranged together inside, making it convenient for everyone to buy a series of snacks and sit down to eat.

Everyone became more and more shocked as they listened.

Is this possible?

Some of them have some skills, can do some handicrafts, and can cook some food, and have thought about setting up a small stall.

The small stalls are quite convenient, but the place is small and there is no storefront.

But it is pretty good as it can shelter from wind and rain.

“Can everyone pay to set up a stall here?”

The Lin Ya man explained, "You need to apply for documents. If you don't meet the requirements, you naturally can't set up a stall here."

As if aware of everyone's confusion, the man explained without waiting for them to ask, "For example, if the food is problematic, or the application information is false, or the person has character issues, then naturally the store or stall cannot be rented out..."

"Our Lord and Madam Su lowered the rent and offered so many favorable terms to help everyone. Naturally, they have to review and approve it..."

"But you guys are honest people. As long as the information is correct, you can definitely set up a stall or rent a store to do business."

"What is this information? We can't read it."

"Don't worry, we can read. We'll ask you questions and you can just tell us. It's basically just your information, your family situation, how many acres of land you cultivated before, etc."

The reason for setting up these is that Shen Yueyao thought it would be best to rent the shops and stalls to people who really need them.

This will help create more jobs.

If she was helping those high-ranking officials, she would not have set such a cheap rent.

Shen Yueyao's shop doesn't sell to outsiders, it only rents out.

In this way, even if the rent is small, she can still collect a lot of rent every year.

And she would not underestimate the wisdom of ordinary people.

Sometimes some snacks and delicacies come from the people.

Some exquisite handicrafts may also come from folk craftsmen.
