One of them was drinking herbal tea while asking the boss about the construction workers.
"You're looking for a plasterer, what do you want to change? How do you want it changed?"
"Here's the thing, I rented a shop, two and a half floors, it's quite a large place, and it needs a little work done."
“If you trust me, I can recommend my brother to you. He used to sell pork, but he ran into some trouble last month and stopped. Now he’s gone back to his old trade and is working as a mason with some friends.”
Liang Guiying felt that the proprietress was kind and generous, so she suggested that she meet her brother first: "I have made a lot of changes to my shop, so I need to talk to him in detail and also discuss the price."
The boss was just about to say he would go back and find her brother that night and ask Liang Guiying for her contact address when her brother arrived.
The shop owner quickly introduced, "Auntie, this is my brother. He's looking for a bricklayer."
Her brother and Liang Guiying exchanged a glance and laughed at the same time.
It turns out that the herbal tea shop owner's brother was none other than Boss Zhang, the black market pig dealer who followed Liang Guiying back to the village to buy pigs!
Liang Guiying pulled up a stool for him to sit on: "Boss Zhang, your pork was selling so well, why did you suddenly stop selling it?"
"It's nothing, I was just greedy. I wanted more than one, and ended up getting set up. If it weren't for my ancestors' protection, I probably would have been thrown into the Gui River to feed the fish... Oh, never mind me. Sister Guiying, what do you need a bricklayer for?"
Knowing that she had rented a shop and planned to start a business, Boss Zhang was happy for her and readily agreed: "Sister Guiying, if you trust me, I will help you run this shop. I won't charge you extra money. However, if you know anyone who needs work in the future, just recommend me to them."
"Okay, my shop won't be vacated for another three days. We'll meet here at 8 pm three days from now, and we can measure the shop then. I'll tell you my design and finalize some details. By the way, do you also do carpentry? You make cabinets and sofas."
“We have several people, including bricklayers, plumbers, carpenters, and my dad is a carpenter. All the furniture in the house was made by my dad himself.”
"Okay, then see you then."
"Alright! See you then... Sister, pack me twenty bowls of cooling tea to take with me."
Boss Zhang took the herbal tea and left. He and his partners were working at the naval camp. Liang Guiying didn't stay long either. She left as soon as Zhou Xiaonian woke up.
Liang Guiying found it hard to believe that she could rent a shop and find a bricklayer in just one day. After thinking it over, she realized that it must be because she had money on hand and could immediately buy a suitable shop without having to worry about budget.
However, today's rent alone cost more than two thousand yuan, leaving her with less than five thousand yuan.
The renovation, building counters, making tables and chairs, etc., will cost a lot of money, and the cost of purchasing goods is also a large sum.
After doing this calculation, she immediately found herself in financial straits.
I still need to make more money.
For the next three days, Liang Guiying set up her stall three times a day: once at the cargo terminal in the morning, once at the match factory at noon, and once at the match factory in the afternoon. However, considering the large expenses that were about to be incurred, the money she earned in these three days was far too little.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. After selling the last cup of iced lemon tea, Liang Guiying went back to pick up Zhou Xiaonian and then went to the herbal tea shop to meet with Boss Zhang.
Mr. Zhang took it very seriously and called all his partners. After measuring the shop, Liang Guiying told them about the style of the shop she wanted, what she wanted to put in which direction, what kind of stools she wanted, and what kind of tables she wanted, striving for simplicity and fashion. Mr. Zhang was stunned by what he heard.
"With a limited budget, we'll leave the first floor like this for now. As for the second floor and above, it depends on how well I run the business. If it goes well, then I'll ask Boss Zhang to help me with it."
"OK."
After parting ways with Boss Zhang and the others, Liang Guiying rushed back to the airport living area.
Seeing Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong standing in front of the Zhou family's house from afar, Liang Guiying quickly stomped her feet twice: "Uncle Zhong, Aunt Zhong, why aren't you home sleeping so late?"
Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong didn't answer, they just stared at her.
Zhong Bo, in particular, had eyes that were practically spitting fire; he treated Liang Guiying like an enemy.
