Chapter 351: Looking at the House
"Thank you so much, Auntie. I'm not exaggerating, but your shop deserves to be so popular. Everything you cook is delicious. If it were located in the imperial city, you would make enough money in a year to last several lifetimes. By then, your hands would cramp from counting the money..."
Feng Biao has been to the imperial city several times.
Naturally, I have also eaten at many restaurants and wine shops in the imperial city.
To be honest, if the Jiang family snack shop was really opened in the imperial city, its business would definitely be among the top three.
But it's okay to stay here.
Merchants have a low status.
In the imperial city, you will often run into royal relatives, and you cannot afford to offend them. Otherwise, let alone business, if you are targeted by someone, you may even lose your life.
Feng Biao stopped talking halfway, fearing that the Jiang family would listen to him and really open a shop in the imperial city.
Then he deserves to die.
"The Imperial City? It's so far away. Why would we open a shop there? I, your aunt, don't want to make that much money. If we make too much, we can't keep it. It's good enough for us to stay here."
Zhang Jinlan waved her hands repeatedly.
She doesn't have such lofty ideals.
If you open a shop in Lianshan Town, you can still rely on the connections of Mr. Dong.
If they go to the imperial city and offend someone powerful, who will come to save them?
Not worth it.
I have no time to spend the money I earn.
The two people's ideas coincided with each other.
"Auntie is right. It's good to stay here. Don't go anywhere else. I heard that County Magistrate Meng has taken office. No one in Qixi County will dare to come and pick a fight with you. You can walk around the town as you please."
Feng Biao is well-informed.
He knew today what happened yesterday.
Unfortunately, Jiang Fubao went to school yesterday.
Therefore, the Jiang family already knew that Meng Bujiu's father had taken office.
"We are not crabs, why should we walk sideways? Haha, kid, stop being greedy and eat quickly. There is more in the pot after you finish eating. It's enough." Zhang Jinlan shook her head helplessly.
He also picked up the bowl and scooped the food from the pot.
"Without my aunt, who would still treat me as a child?"
Although Feng Biao is quite old, he has a young mentality.
The talk is very funny.
Jiang Fubao sat quietly beside and listened. After finishing the last piece of tofu in the bowl, she carried the bowl to the kitchen.
"Grandma, I want more."
Zhang Yanzi was afraid that her daughter might get scalded, so she only gave her half a bowl.
Plus her own baby bowl is very small.
So Jiang Fubao hasn’t eaten enough.
"My dear grandson, is it spicy?" When Zhang Jinlan was cooking just now, she took a sip of the salty food and it tasted so spicy.
I didn’t expect that my granddaughter is not afraid of spicy food at all.
"Not spicy!" Jiang Fubao thought it could be made a little spicier.
Just the right amount of spicy.
But it’s a big pot, for the whole family to eat together.
My aunt, grandma and dad can’t eat spicy food, so forget it.
Slightly spicy is also OK.
Zhang Jinlan took the bowl from her granddaughter, picked up some vegetables, dried tofu and tofu, and added two pieces of pork belly and lamb slices.
"After you finish this bowl, you can't eat any more, or you'll feel uncomfortable in your stomach in the afternoon."
The granddaughter is too young.
Although she is not afraid of spicy food, eating too much will damage her spleen and stomach.
You still have to keep an eye on it.
"I know, grandma." Jiang Fubao nodded obediently and took the small bowl away.
Return to the chair and continue eating.
After eating a full meal, my whole body was sweating.
Much more comfortable.
Jiang Fubao picked up the green plum drink, drank half a cup, and felt extremely refreshed.
I feel sleepy after eating.
I slept for half an hour at noon.
After getting up, she saw grandma taking off her apron and sitting in the yard, seemingly waiting for someone.
"Grandma~"
Jiang Fubao's grandmother cried out.
"Hey! Fubao is awake. Let's go. Grandma will take you to see the house."
Taking advantage of the free time and the fact that although it was cloudy but not raining, Zhang Jinlan prepared to take the fourth brother and his family to the pawnshop to buy the house as soon as possible.
Now, she has saved a lot of money.
Not to mention once you enter the house.
Even if there are three entrances, she can buy two in one go.
After arriving at the brokerage firm, her wealthy appearance made the broker's already attentive attitude even more flattering.
Everyone in the town knew that Jiang's snack shop had the best business and made a lot of money every day.
Zhang Jinlan's face is also remembered by many people.
This is a fortune-teller.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, there are four houses for sale in the city. The first one is in Nichang Lane, Shibu Street. It's a little off the beaten track and there aren't many houses there, but it's quiet and you won't hear any noise on weekdays. The house is a little small, with only one entrance, but it can still accommodate a large family. The price is right, only five hundred taels."
The brothel owner opened his palm and looked at Zhang Jinlan.
She didn't react.
Let me continue to introduce the next house.
"The second place is in Sankuan Lane, Wanlu Street. Although this street is crowded and chaotic, Sankuan Lane is not bad. The people living in it are all people who run shops on this street. They are not poor. This house has three courtyards and is very large. Although there is only a large courtyard in the second courtyard, the price is very cheap. It can be bought for 800 taels."
The dentist acted shocked.
Still failed to impress Zhang Jinlan.
She held a cup of tea and took a sip expressionlessly: "Let's talk about the remaining two houses." The house bought for the granddaughter must be the one with the best location and the most expensive price.
Wanlu Street is very chaotic. What if my granddaughter gets kidnapped by human traffickers while she is playing at the doorstep?
Where can she find it?
"The third house has two courtyards and is next to the Sanshan School on Youran Street. I heard that your granddaughter is the godgranddaughter of Principal Dong. This house is perfect for her."
The broker seemed certain that Zhang Jinlan would buy this place.
So I didn’t even mention the price.
"As for the location, it's suitable, but it's a little small. If Fubao gets married in the future, I'm afraid it will be too crowded to live here..." Zhang Jinlan said to her son and daughter-in-law.
She was a little confused.
Originally I came here for the three-story house.
But the location of this house is too good.
The granddaughter would go to Sanshan School from time to time to visit her godfather.
Living there, it is very convenient to travel back and forth.
When her granddaughter grows up, she will be able to go by herself and she won’t have to worry about it.
"Tell me about the fourth place." Zhang Jinlan couldn't make up her mind, and her son and daughter-in-law didn't say anything, so she simply let the agent introduce everything before making a final conclusion.
"The fourth one is in Qulian Lane, Wuji Street. The house is quite big, with courtyards on all three sides and a garden in the front yard. There are some koi fish in the pond inside, but the price is a bit expensive."
This house has been on the market for half a year because it is too expensive.
No one bought it.
The agent had no hope and just gave a brief introduction.
"Then let's go check out the third house first. Don't consider the first two. Hmm... let's check out the fourth one as well."
Zhang Jinlan put down the teacup with only tea leaves left in it and spoke slowly.
The brothel's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurried to find the shopkeeper to get the key. Just as he was about to go out, he found that it started to drizzle outside.
Although your clothes won't get wet, your hair will become damp.
It's really uncomfortable.
