Chapter 26: Taking Zhang Baiyan to the World and Visiting the Warehouse

Granny Huang was kindhearted after all. Seeing that Wang Chunhua was the only one left, she advised, "Don't go around saying these nonsense things. The girl got first place in the exam because she is capable. The high school entrance exam is organized by the government and there are surveillance cameras. If word gets out, the Zhang family will definitely not let it go easily. What will you do if they go to the police station? You are not in the right, and there is no evidence. It is easy to cause trouble if you just keep talking nonsense outside."

Wang Chunhua's face turned blue and red after hearing what Grandma Huang said. Because Grandma Huang was quite respected by the younger generation in this area, Wang Chunhua didn't dare to be too rude and turned around and ran away in a rage.

Seeing her like this, Grandma Huang shook her head helplessly. In her opinion, the Zhang family is getting better and better, while the Xu family is

Here, Zhang Wanwan had been taken to the non-staple food wholesale market by Zhang Baiyan.

The non-staple food wholesale market is some distance away from where they live, and it takes about half an hour to get there by bike. It is a large area planned by the government, almost as big as four or five large markets, with stores crisscrossing and many trucks coming in and out. There are also many vendors who come here to wholesale, and it is very noisy. There are people doing wholesale in almost every store.

It was Zhang Baiyan's first time here, and he was stunned. "Wanwan, where are we going next?"

He really didn't know which direction was right. There were shops all around him, and he couldn't see clearly what each shop sold.

Zhang Wanwan pointed in a direction and said, "Go straight to the fifth intersection and turn in. There are seasonings everywhere. I want to buy more varieties and mix them myself. Let's try a few recipes first. When the time comes, see which one works best and then come back to buy in bulk."

Zhang Baiyan agreed very much and took Zhang Wanwan directly to the seasoning store.

Thyme, basil, oregano, black pepper, ginger powder, allspice, chili powder, etc., only twenty or thirty items were bought at once, but the quantity was not large, which confused the owner of the store and he couldn't guess the uses of these things.

After buying the seasonings, Zhang Wanwan went to another street to buy various fried flours. Finally, she asked Zhang Boyan to take her to the farmer's market to buy a few small chickens. She also bought chicken legs and chicken wings in large bags. Zhang Boyan was sweating profusely when he saw this. "Wanwan, can our refrigerator hold all the food you bought?"

Speaking of refrigerators, Zhang Wanwan was stunned. She stood there for a long time before looking at Zhang Boyan and muttered, "Brother, I think we should rent a place as a warehouse.

You see, our house is so small. When my parents set up a stall, there will be more and more things in the house. Now it is already crowded and there is no place to put them. What will we do in the future?"

Zhang Baiyan's brows were almost knotted after hearing this: "What should we do then?"

He seldom goes home now, and every time he comes back he is in a hurry. He really doesn't know much about what's going on at home.

Zhang Wanwan pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, let's find a place to rent as a warehouse first."

Zhang Baiyan didn't object to this. The family now had some money, so it was still possible to rent a place. After thinking for a moment, Zhang Baiyan suggested, "Why don't we go back to the neighborhood and have a look? There are old communities all around, and renting a basement is not expensive and is close to our home."

Zhang Wanwan didn't think so. "Brother, everyone in our neighborhood knows each other. If we rent a place on the first floor, do you believe that as long as my parents go there, someone will come up to chat? We are a small business, and there is no technical content. People can learn it at a glance. How can we make money like this?"

"Then what do you think we should do?" Zhang Baiyan looked at Zhang Wanwan straightly. He admired her very much and decided not to give her any more blind advice and just do the hard work for her.

"No rush, let's go back first. I remember that there are many new residential areas in Pu City. There are garages on the first floor of each residential area. Those garages can be converted into stores. Not many people will rent them inside the residential area, so the rent will definitely not be expensive. Let's go around and see if we can negotiate one." Zhang Wanwan jumped into the back seat of Zhang Boyan's car, urging him to leave quickly.

The brother and sister took a lot of things to see several residential communities that were built and opened for sale last year. These communities are not far from Century Plaza and have an occupancy rate of about 80%. However, the garages in the communities are still deserted. Few people actually use them to park their cars. Most people use them as warehouses to store things. After visiting only two communities, they saw someone posted rental information on the garage door. Among the several garages with information posted, Zhang Wanwan chose one that looked relatively large.

She didn't have a cell phone, but Zhang Baiyan did. Zhang Wanwan quickly asked Zhang Baiyan to call and ask about the price.

The call was connected quickly. From the voice, it turned out to be a middle-aged man. When he heard that the person wanted to rent a garage, he came over without saying a word. Only then did Zhang Wanwan realize that the man lived in this community.

The middle-aged man was wearing a short-sleeved home shirt and shorts, with a pair of heavy glasses on his nose. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhang Wanwan and the other two, but he did not neglect them because of their young age. Instead, he stepped forward and asked politely, "Are you looking to rent a warehouse?"

Zhang Wanwan nodded obediently and said with a smile: "Hello uncle, our family wants to rent a place, and my parents are very busy, so we came out to help look for a place."

The middle-aged man suddenly realized and said with a relaxed smile: "Hello, my last name is Wang. This was originally our garage, but we have two garages at home, and we can't use two of them for one car, so we want to rent this garage out. I wonder what you are going to use the garage for?"

Mr. Wang guessed that the family was going to open a store. Zhang Wanwan replied, "We also rented it as a warehouse. My parents are doing business. The place at home is too small to store many things. We need a warehouse to store those things and process some raw materials. Is that okay?"

"What's wrong with that? I'm just renting a warehouse. It's fine as long as you don't make major changes." Mr. Wang said gently, seeming easy to talk to.

Zhang Wanwan and her brother were immediately happy. Zhang Wanwan looked at the area of the warehouse, which was about 20 to 30 square meters. Although there were a lot of sundries piled up, it was still quite spacious. She was quite satisfied with it and turned back to ask Mr. Wang, "Uncle, how much do you plan to rent this garage for?"

Seeing Zhang Wanwan's straightforwardness, Mr. Wang didn't beat around the bush and said, "My garage is not small. Our neighbor's garage is much smaller than ours. They rent it for 400 yuan a month, so I plan to rent it for 500 yuan. Because it's a garage, we hope to rent it for half a year, the shortest is half a year, and the longest is also fine for three to five years."

Zhang Wanwan heard the price and knew that the other party was not bullying them. After hesitating for a moment, she agreed, "How about this, uncle, draw up a contract, and we come over to sign the contract with you and then pay the rent, okay?"
