Chapter 131 New Way Out (modified and added content)

He looked at Fan Qingyi, "How long do you plan to rent it for?"

"Thirty-eight a month?"

Didn't you say about thirty? It's already forty.

Liu Feifei frowned, glanced at Secretary Zhou, and asked the boss, "How much rent can you get if you pay half a year? What about paying for a year?"

"If you pay every half year, I will give you one yuan a month and charge you thirty-seven. If you pay for a year, I will charge you thirty-six. If you rent for two years and pay it off in two years, I will charge you thirty-five."

The boss smiled the whole time, "I suggest you rent it for two years. My storefront is just across the street from the entrance of the textile factory. Many people want my location. My next door..."

The boss looked over, lowered his voice, and held up four fingers, "Forty rented."

Forty? !

Liu Feifei's face was not good.

"Sister Yiyi, this price is a bit expensive."

The boss sighed, "Comrade, my price is already very fair. I can rent it out to others for 40 yuan."

This is absolutely true.

And the most crucial point is that this storefront is near the textile factory and is truly priceless.

"Boss, I rent this storefront. Just as you said, the minimum lease period is two years. I will rent it for two years first, and I will pay the rent... once a year. Now we can sign the lease contract."

Fan Qing shook his head slightly at Liu Feifei and whispered, "I'll explain it to you later when we go back."

Seeing that she had her own plan, Liu Feifei nodded and did not interfere any more.

Secretary Zhou helped as a witness, and both parties signed the lease contract and pressed their fingerprints. Fan Qingyi used the cloth bag that Xiao Shanhu used to hold her diapers as a cover to take out the money from the space.

He counted out 432 yuan and handed it over.

"Big sister, you are so straightforward. Just make it an even number. The remaining two yuan can be used to buy some candy for the children."

The boss took the four hundred and thirty yuan with a smile. "It's so cold today. It's not easy to make some money."

After that, he raised his hand and drew a circle in the house and asked Fan Qingyi, "I brought these tables, chairs and benches from my hometown. My father and uncle made them by hand. If you want them, I will leave them to you. It's considered... a good relationship." "

Is this... suitable?"

Fan Qingyi's eyes lit up. To be honest, when she came here yesterday, she saw these wooden tables and benches. They were unique in style and durable.

If the boss didn't take them away, she could save money on making dining tables and benches.

The boss laughed, "What's wrong with that? I can't use these things back in the country."

"That's good, thank you, boss."

The boss took her to the back kitchen. The storefront was 15 square meters, and the back kitchen was about 5 or 6 square meters. Several stoves and cutting boards were all cleaned out.

"These... were originally planned to be taken back by the new tenant, so I'll leave them to you?"

Fan Qingyi was a little embarrassed, "... or, I'll give you a few more dollars as rent for these things?"

The boss looked at her and clicked his tongue.

"Big sister, you... can't do business. You have a child to take care of. How hard is it to make money? Save as much as you can. It's useless to take this back. You can keep it and use it without worry."

The boss used to sell noodles. The big bowls and long chopsticks were neatly arranged in a separate bowl cabinet.

Although the kitchen is not large, it looks clean and tidy at a glance.

After the handover, the boss gave the key to Fan Qingyi.

"Okay, this store is handed over to you. I hope you can make money here."

"Thank you, boss."

The boss waved his hand, loaded his things into the car, and drove away.

Liu Feifei looked at the key in Fan Qingyi's hand happily and asked, "Sister Yiyi, do you want to repaint the inside? I'll go find my second uncle..."

"Don't bother."

Fan Qingyi smiled and shook his head, "I'll go back and clean it up, and find some newspapers to paste it on. It's convenient and saves trouble."

"...Okay."

Liu Feifei knew that she didn't want to bother others, so she didn't persuade her.

Secretary Zhou took the opportunity to say goodbye, and Fan Qingyi took out two tomatoes from the cloth bag and handed them over.

"Secretary Zhou, thank you for your help. This will quench your thirst."

Secretary Zhou was stunned and wanted to refuse, but Fan Qingyi had already brought the tomatoes to him.

They were big and red, and they were in this season.

It was really rare.

Secretary Zhou thought about it for a moment, then smiled and answered, "Thank you, sister-in-law, you guys chat, I'll go back to work first."

After watching Secretary Zhou cross the road, Liu Feifei excitedly hugged Li Shanhu and rushed back to the storefront.

"Sister Yiyi, what are you going to do with this storefront? Are you going to sell buffet lunch?"

Fan Qing shook her head, "I haven't thought about it yet."

[In the winter, the most irresistible thing is hot pot, which is hot and spicy. After eating it, you will feel warm from the inside out. Mom, opening a hot pot restaurant is bound to be a hit.]

"Then sell the buffet lunch first and think about it slowly."

Liu Feifei pulled the two tables together, put Li Shanhu on it, and rolled up her sleeves.

"I don't have to go to work today, so I just happened to help Sister Yiyi clean up the bathroom first. As for newspapers... my second uncle has plenty, I'll go get some later. You need some batter to make newspapers..."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Shanhu and reminded her, "Doudou, don't move."

Li Shanhu grinned.

Liu Feifei also laughed, "This child, how can he be so cute."

After saying that, her expression dimmed for a moment.

During the summer vacation, she still fantasized about having a child like Doudou and the other three sisters, but now...

"Feifei?"

Liu Feifei came back to her senses and smiled at Fan Qing.

"Sister Yiyi, what do you want to call the store?"

Fan Qing was stunned for a moment, "I don't know..." said.

Before the word "said" was uttered, a baby voice rose from the ground, [Spinning small hot pot. ]

Fan Qingyi, "..."

She could still understand hot pot, it was boiling vegetables in a pot.

What was a rotating small hot pot?

How did the hot pot... rotate?

She glanced at Li Shanhu, and felt that the things in the real world where her little daughter lived were... quite difficult to comment on?

The two of them worked for half a morning, sweeping the mottled walls clean, removing the white lime walls that were about to fall off, and the spider webs in the corners of the roof.

Liu Feifei went to the textile factory to get newspapers, and Fan Qingyi cooked the batter for newspapers in the back kitchen.

The boss left in a hurry, and left more than twenty coal balls and a small stove for heating.

Fan Qingyi started a fire, lit the coal balls, and put them in the small stove.

He also took out flour from the space.

When Liu Feifei came back, the batter was almost ready.

Behind her, followed a young man holding several stacks of newspapers.

It was Liu Feifei's cousin, Liu Chengcai.

"Sister Yiyi."

Liu Chengcai called with a smile and put the newspapers on the wooden table beside him.

"Sister Feifei said you were going to paste newspapers for the store, so I came to help. Leave the rough work of climbing to the top to me, but..."

He smiled, "...I want to eat the Dongpo pork made by Sister Yiyi."

Liu Feifei rolled her eyes at him unhappily.

"A grown man likes to eat sweet and greasy Dongpo pork, tsk tsk..."

Liu Chengcai snorted, "Who said that grown men can't like to eat Dongpo pork? I just want to eat it..."

After that, he smiled at Fan Qingyi in a flattering way, "Sister Yiyi."

Liu Feifei's face turned black, and he slapped his cousin on the back of the head.

"I asked you to help with the work, but you still made demands. You have to eat whatever Sister Yiyi cooks, and you are not allowed to be picky."

Liu Chengcai grinned, "It hurts... Liu Feifei, you only have me as your brother, so you are not afraid of being beaten."

Liu Feifei raised his hand to hit him again, but Liu Chengcai pressed the corner of the table and jumped to the other side of the table with all his strength, smiling, "Hey, I didn't hit you."

Liu Feifei, "..."

Seeing the brother and sister laughing, Fan Qingyi smiled unconsciously.

"Whatever you want to eat, we have it today."

Liu Chengcai's eyes were shining, "Really, Sister Yiyi? Then I also want to eat leek boxes, honey rice lotus root, four-happiness meatballs, chestnut chicken..."

"Liu Chengcai!"

Liu Feifei was angry and amused when he heard him announce the names of the dishes.

"Have you never eaten in your life?"

Liu Chengcai grinned, "Yes."

Fan Qingyi also smiled, "Okay."

Liu Feifei glared at him, too lazy to pay attention to him, and apologized to Fan Qingyi, "Sister Yiyi, don't listen to his nonsense, he..."

"What does Feifei want to eat?"

Fan Qingyi stopped her with a smile, "I haven't thanked you properly yet, this meal is my thank you gift, ok?"

"This..."

Liu Feifei hesitated for a moment, and when she saw the look her cousin gave her, she smiled and agreed.

"Okay."

Having a man who can climb high can indeed make work much faster.

The three of them spent more than half an hour to paste the door and the roof.

Looking up, I actually had the illusion of entering a calligraphy room.

Liu Chengcai looked around and said, "Don't mention it. White walls have a white atmosphere. Pasting newspapers on them creates a different mood."

Fan Qingyi smiled and took the two back to his own courtyard.

Liu Chengcai strolled around the courtyard with little Shanhu in his arms.

Liu Feifei was helping to light the fire in the stove and asked about the rent of the storefront, "...it's a bit expensive, I should be able to negotiate the price."

"I asked that store yesterday, and the boss only said that someone had made a deposit, but didn't say how much the rent was. It shows he's an honest man. He left so many tables, chairs, benches and dishes for the kitchen, which can save me a lot of money..."

Fan Qingyi lowered his eyes and glanced at Liu Feifei, whose face was red due to the fire in the stove, and smiled, "That's one reason, and the second reason...I visited all the places there yesterday, and there was no other storefront for rent, so his storefront is priceless. I think it's too expensive, but most people don't."

Liu Feifei frowned.

Fan Qingyi explained again, "Thirdly, the price given by the boss is indeed very fair. What he said about the rent of the next door being 400 yuan is true. And one

more thing..." "And one more thing?" Liu Feifei was amazed.

Fan Qingyi smiled, "Yes, and the boss is a very compassionate person. He feels sorry for me making a living with my children. This kind of person will not be jealous even if we make a lot of money relying on his storefront in the future, and he will not embarrass us when we cancel the lease..."

Liu Feifei said "Oh".

After a while, he looked up at Fan Qingyi with some realization.

I feel that Fan Qingyi looks very different now. When

he was still in the Li family, he was like a puppet, controlled by Old Lady Li and Sister-in-law Li, living a repetitive life day after day.

Now...

Sister Yiyi can analyze the humanity of a stranger, and teach her how to recognize people.

"Sister Yiyi..."

Fan Qing lowered his eyes slightly and glanced at her, "Hmm?"

Liu Feifei raised her eyes suddenly and smiled, "You are right, there is no need to worry about renting a house from such a person, you can go all out to make money."

Fan Qing was stunned for a moment, and smiled slightly.

"...Sister Yiyi will definitely make a lot of money."

Fan Qing shook his head, "Not me, but also you, have you forgotten that you put in the capital? When the textile factory has its annual holiday, we will settle the accounts and give you dividends."

"Huh?" If

she didn't say it, Liu Feifei would have forgotten about the money.

He waved his hands quickly, "No need, Sister Yiyi, just give me the capital..."

Fan Qing glanced at her, "That won't do. What was agreed upon is what was agreed upon. You can't go back on your word. Or do you think I'm a person who doesn't keep my word, or you didn't really want to help me at that time?"

"Ah? I..."

Liu Feifei looked at Fan Qingyi blankly, opening her mouth, not knowing how to respond to her.

It seemed that nothing she said was right.

A sly smile flashed across Fan Qingyi's face.

Well, don't mention it, it's quite fun to tease a little kid.

"Sister Yiyi..."

After dinner, the brother and sister helped to load the things onto the cart and pulled it over in two batches.

The second time they went over, they ran into Song Youwei and Jiang Yanhong.

Jiang Yanhong helped deliver the things to the store, and the surprise in her eyes could not be hidden.

"Sister-in-law, did you rent it?"

Fan Qingyi smiled and nodded, "I signed the contract this morning, and I haven't had time to tell you yet."

"Great, this way, sister-in-law can continue to sell her self-service lunch. This storefront is spacious, and we can put a few charcoal braziers in it. It will be warm in the house, and I'm sure all the workers will come here."

Jiang Yanhong looked left and right, and felt that with a storefront, sister-in-law would work less hard and should earn more money than before.

She always thinks of herself, and this heart... it would be a lie to say that I'm not moved.

"Yanhong, you and Chengran's dad should move in too."

Fan Qingyi smiled, "You also said that this storefront is spacious, we can occupy one side, and put tables and chairs in the middle..."

"No, no!"

Jiang Yanhong refused, "How can this be possible? You spent money to rent the storefront, and we come here to take advantage of it, what kind of people are we?"

She didn't want anything Fan Qingyi said. She

just said, "It's better than anything else for sister-in-law to live a good life, and we are happy to see it."

Fan Qingyi had no choice but to put half a basket of tomatoes and cucumbers picked in the space and gave it to her, "I'm afraid I won't have time to go back recently, you can eat some of these, and take them back to Auntie Song and Chengran to taste them."

"Where can you get tomatoes and cucumbers in this season?" Jiang Yanhong was so hungry.

Fan Qingyi said that the family she bought vegetables from grew them themselves and gave her a basket.

Hearing that it was free, Jiang Yanhong did not refuse and accepted it with a smile.

They had to hurry to buy flour for making hand-rolled noodles tomorrow, so they left after staying with Fan Qingyi for a short time.

The Liu siblings stayed until after four o'clock, and only left after making sure that everything was cleaned up inside and outside.

Before leaving, Fan Qingyi stuffed two heavy paper bags made of newspaper into each of them.

On the way back, Liu Feifei mentioned the ordering of food and glared at her cousin.

Liu Chengcai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"My sister, I only dare to make such a request because I treat Sister Yiyi as my own sister."

Liu Feifei, "...It's not easy for Sister Yiyi to make money..."

"Then my parents, your parents also have a hard time making money, don't you just ask them for money when you want to buy something."

Liu Feifei was stunned, "How can it be the same?"

"Then how is it different?"

Liu Chengcai shrugged, "Isn't it because you think that parents are your own family, so you know everything, and they won't refuse if you make some reasonable requests?"

"You..." Perverse logic.

Before he said the word perverse logic, Liu Feifei's brows were already tightly knitted, looking straight at Liu Chengcai.

Liu Chengcai grinned, "Really? What happened today? My dad, your second uncle, helped sister Yiyi to rent a storefront that she wanted to rent. She must want to thank us. I made this request to celebrate her success and to make sister Yiyi feel better."

Liu Feifei stared at him.

After a while, he muttered vaguely, "You guys are good. You can teach me one by one."

"Just tell me if this is the truth, right?" Liu Chengcai laughed crookedly.

Liu Feifei slapped his face, "Don't laugh, it's too ugly."

Liu Chengcai laughed.

Liu Feifei twisted Liu Chengcai's ear in annoyance, "Then you say, sister Yiyi insists on giving me dividends, how can I refuse?"

"Dividends?" Liu Chengcai was puzzled.

Liu Feifei told him about the loan, "At that time I was afraid she would not accept it, so I borrowed it under the name of joining a partnership. Who knew... She just said she would give me dividends at the end of the year. She just made a few dollars. How could I take her money?"

Liu Chengcai stroked his chin and thought for a while, then said, "Sister Yiyi gave it to me sincerely, so you should take it."

"What are you talking about? Sister Yiyi gave it to me sincerely." Liu Feifei glanced at his cousin.

Liu Chengcai chuckled, "I mean, you can take this money."

Liu Feifei glared at him.

"Listen to my explanation first."

Liu Chengcai was helpless. "Sister Yiyi's business is with the textile factory. What kind of people are around her? They are surrounded by wolves! They are all evil wolves competing for the textile factory's business. Will they be nice to Sister Yiyi?"

Liu Feifei immediately remembered that Fan Qingyi was bullied and she knew nothing about it. Her face suddenly turned ugly.

"And you... happen to be the niece of Deputy Factory Manager Liu. Do you think those people would dare to target Sister Yiyi if they knew that you are also the owner of that store?"

Liu Feifei was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes lit up.

"You're right!"

Then, her eyebrows were furrowed, "What does this have to do with me taking money?"

"Since you are the boss, of course you have to share profits. You don't want Sister Yiyi to think that you are pitying her, so you don't take profits, right?" Liu Chengcai crossed his arms over his chest. Liu

Feifei, "Of course I don't mean that."

"So..."

Liu Chengcai patted his cousin on the shoulder, "Just take the money, go to the storefront whenever you have time, let those bosses who want to steal business know who you are, and Sister Yiyi can make money safely, killing two birds with one stone, isn't it good?"

Liu Feifei was fooled by him and actually realized some truth.

"Then... I'll take it?"

Liu Chengcai smiled, "Just feel free to take it."

...

Fan Qingyi sent them away, found a wooden board in the back kitchen, and imitated the board in the space, wrote what was supplied and given away today, and bought a few nails in the space, and nailed the board to the bracket. Wait

until tomorrow's lunch time to put it out.

She deliberately started the fire to cook when the bell was about to ring.

Several big stoves and pots were working at the same time.

Although it was a bit tiring and time was tight, it could ensure that the food was still hot.

The next day, the employees who ran out of the textile factory saw the wooden board that Fan Qingyi had placed at the door of the store. Some

old customers who had eaten her food did not move forward.

When I pulled my companion inside, I found a small stove in the middle of the storefront.

Although it was not very warm, it was much better than the freezing weather outside.

Regular customers ordered their dishes and paid for them, while Fan Qingyi served the dishes and soup.

As more and more workers appeared, most of the regular customers came in to order dishes and rice when they saw Fan Qingyi.

"It's all Sister Fan. The food is excellent."

Fan Qingyi smiled and took care of things, hardly looking up all afternoon.

Although there was still a clay pot left at the end of the cleaning.

But this situation was much better than the few servings sold in the previous two days.

If a customer complained that the food was cold, she could turn around and go to the kitchen to heat up the food.

But going back and forth like this all the time was very time-consuming.

Fan Qingyi thought of the hot pot his little daughter had mentioned, so he looked it up.

He found out that the rotating hot pot is actually a rotating table for placing vegetables, and the hot pot is stationary.

This small hot pot sounds very attractive, but it is not easy to keep the fire under the pot.

On Sunday, a family of four harvested the rice and wheat they planted in the space with one click, husked them directly and put them into storage to redeem points.

The space prompt was upgraded by three levels, and the upper left corner showed that the space was already level 33.

In the mall, a charcoal kiln popped up.

Fan Qingyi was still wondering why there was such an option.

At that moment, he suddenly reacted.

Beijing hot pot uses charcoal. If this charcoal kiln can produce charcoal, can she replicate Beijing hot pot and sell the small hot pot her little daughter mentioned?

Thinking of what Liu Feifei once said about Liu Chengcai being interested in repairing things, she wondered if he would be interested in replicating the revolving table?

Liu Chengcai was too interested.

"I've seen the table you mentioned in Hong Kong, but they are powered by electricity. It shouldn't be difficult to make it. Sister Yiyi, give me a few days and I'll try it first."

Fan Qing nodded repeatedly, indicating that he could set the price when it was ready.

Liu Chengcai took the opportunity to mention seven or eight hard dishes he wanted to eat.

"No problem."

The two of them happily made a deal, and Liu Chengcai left eager to go.

Liu Feifei wanted to speak several times, but she held back when she thought of her cousin's words.

After everyone left, she asked Fan Qingyi, "Sister Yiyi, are you not selling buffets anymore?"

"Yes,"

Fan Qingyi said, "Ali's dad said that hot pot is very popular in Beijing and it tastes hot. I want to try it."

Liu Feifei felt that she was thinking of Li Wenfeng, and was afraid of causing her sadness, so she didn't dare to ask more. She

nodded and agreed, "That's definitely no problem. Everyone wants to eat hot pot in the cold weather and chat and talk."

Fan Qingyi smiled and said that was what she meant.

The two were discussing in the storefront how many hot pots to prepare and where to go to get them, when they heard a "bang" outside.

It was the sound of a wooden board falling to the ground.

The two looked up at the same time and saw a burly man standing at the door. He rudely spat on their wooden board and

said, "It's a nuisance." He looked at them provocatively and said, "Who told you to put this rubbish outside? It affects our business, don't you know?"

Liu Feifei was stunned.

How did the wooden board in front of their door bother them?
