The three of them followed the broker as they walked through the streets, and he asked them about their needs along the way.
There are ten people in the Xiao family, so a small yard is definitely not enough. Excluding the kitchen, at least six rooms are needed to accommodate them. Now the eldest and third brothers are single, so one less room doesn't matter, but just in case, after all, the eldest and third brothers are not young anymore, and they will eventually get married.
So it is better to have your own separate room.
"A yard with six rooms is not small, and the monthly rent is not cheap. There is a ready-made one in the west of the city. The middle one is a bit smaller, and the rooms are not big, but it is enough for your family to live in."
After listening to the needs, the guy from the dental shop immediately had a pre-selected candidate in his mind.
"Anyway, you guys have already told me your requirements, so I won't take you on a detour. Let's just go straight to what you requested."
Hearing that the price was not cheap, Jiang Sui decided to ask in advance:
"Young man, how much is the monthly rent for this yard you mentioned?"
Upon hearing this, the dental assistant smiled and made a five sign:
"Five taels of silver a month is not expensive, and it's quite cost-effective. The landlord lives in his own house, and it's clean. But there is one requirement. I have to pay him half a year's rent in one lump sum. He has an urgent need."
"It was six taels before, but later on, I needed money urgently, so I lowered the price. How about it? Do you want to go and have a look?"
Jiang Sui and Xiao Hechuan exchanged glances. Jiang Sui had already asked Xiao's mother when he came out. She had a total of thirty-five taels of silver in her hand.
The inn costs two taels, which leaves thirty-three taels, enough to pay half a year's rent. But the pawnbroker also charges a commission, so I don't know how much that is.
The gold ingot in Jiang Sui's hand is worth one hundred taels. In fact, this price is completely acceptable to them.
It took her half a year to open the hot and sour noodle shop. She was confident that she could make a quick profit and in the future, paying the monthly rent should not be a problem.
I have been selling goods in Baima Town for more than two months and have made 15 or 16 taels of silver. With such a big market in Jeju, are you still worried about not being able to make the rent?
The two exchanged glances and nodded. It seemed that Xiao Hechuan had the same idea as her.
"Then let's go!"
The dental broker saw that there was a chance, so he happily took them there.
After a month, I finally have the opportunity to open the business.
On the way to look at houses, Xiao Lanlan seemed particularly excited. She couldn't wait to know what her future parents would be like.
The yard was in the west of the city. They walked there from the east and it took them about fifteen minutes to get there. They passed a snack street, went through the alley in the middle of the snack street, and walked around a bit before they arrived at the yard that the pawnbroker had mentioned.
This area is full of such courtyards, big and small. Every household has its door closed and lanterns hung at the door. Many women are carrying baskets and preparing to go to the downtown area to buy vegetables.
The road here is quite complicated, and if you have a bad memory, you may not be able to remember it after walking it once.
"We're here. This is it."
The broker brought them to a house. The red paint on the door had almost fallen off, and the two lanterns hanging on the door were covered with dust. The word "Fu" on the lanterns could not be seen clearly. It seemed that no one had lived there for a long time.
The young man opened the lock with his key and let them in, saying:
"The previous family moved out several months ago, and no one has been here since then, so it's a bit dusty. The doors and furniture are also a bit old, and they don't look very sleek, but it won't be a problem to clean them up. There's also a jujube tree in the yard, but it doesn't bear much fruit.
Moreover, this courtyard is the largest in this alley. Apart from the kitchen, there are six rooms, one next to the main room, three on the east side, two on the west side, and a small toilet. If you clean it diligently, the smell won't be too strong. When it's full, you can just ask the night incense cleaner to come and clean it. It doesn't cost much. There's also a gap next to the toilet, which is just right for raising chickens and ducks. Isn't it promising to live a better life just thinking about it?"
Jiang Sui could see that this young man had the potential to become a sales champion, and he was really good at talking.
He must have not been here long and has not yet fully integrated into the dental industry, so he is being squeezed out by others. But I believe that as long as he is willing to work hard, it will not be a problem for him to become the sales champion in the future!
As soon as Xiao Lanlan entered the yard, she began to look at every room. They were all about the same size, with enough space for a bed, a table, a cabinet, etc. It was a bit crowded, but it was good enough to live in.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I want to live next door to you and my fourth brother from now on."
"Okay, you can live wherever you want, you can choose first!" Jiang Sui said with a smile.
Obviously, she is one year younger than Lanlan, but I always feel that she is the older one. Xiao Lanlan is also the real darling of the Xiao family.
This yard looks really nice after being tidied up. We are all from the countryside, so there is no need to be too particular.
"Sui Sui, what do you think of this place?" Xiao Hechuan was quite satisfied, but it mainly depended on the satisfaction of the hostesses in the family.
Jiang Sui thought about it for a while, and then asked the dental assistant:
"Hey bro, are there any small shops for rent on that snack street outside?"
"Oh, you are planning to do business in the future, right? Of course I have, and you can come to me if you want to rent a shop in the future!"
As long as Jiang Sui is sure that it will be convenient for her to do business in the future, then she has no problem with that.
The gleam in her eyes was about to overflow, and Xiao Hechuan couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw her like this, and actually found her very cute.
How can it not be a good thing to have such an ambitious daughter-in-law?
"I think it's okay. What about Lanlan?"
Xiao Lanlan heard this and nodded like pounding garlic:
"I think so too. I like the jujube tree in this yard." The little girl has a girlish heart and will fall in love with a place because of a jujube tree.
"Then let's go back and tell mom, and bring everyone over to have a look tomorrow. If everyone thinks it's okay, we'll rent this place." Xiao Hechuan smiled gently, with tenderness evident in his eyes and brows.
"Okay!" the aunt and sister-in-law replied.
"Then I'll have to trouble you to bring us here again tomorrow." Xiao Hechuan turned to negotiate with the young man.
The guy from the dental shop was of course very happy. He didn't run much today and earned two hundred dollars easily:
"If you decide to rent it, I won't charge you for running errands tomorrow. I will wait for you at Zheng's Wonton Shop on that street at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow, so you don't have to run to the restaurant to look for me again."
When the yard is rented out and the rent is collected, he can also take some commission.
For your first business deal, you don’t need to be so sarcastic.
The guy in the dental shop is a nice guy. He has a good service attitude and considers the customers. Not bad, Jiang Sui feels that the two hundred dollars he spent is worth it.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work today, so it's settled."
Xiao Hechuan decided to take Xiao's mother and others to see the yard tomorrow morning.
