Chapter 92: Baicai Dental Clinic
And the bigger the shop, the more expensive it is.
She couldn't bear to do that.
"Oh, you want to rent a shop? Wait here, I'll go check out the back."
The Kongya people's smiles faded a little.
It's just rent, and the money he gets is too little.
Naturally, his attitude was not as attentive as before.
The shops and houses for rent were all listed on the other side of the lobby. The people of Kongya guessed that Zhang Jinlan and her group were illiterate, so they did not take them there.
Instead, I ran to take a look around.
After finding a few that met Zhang Jinlan's requirements, I came back.
"Now we have three shops with yards that have not been rented out. One is located on Shibu Street. It used to sell ready-made clothes. The shop is not big, but not small either. It is average. The backyard is quite large. There is not only a toilet, but also two rooms for living. The price is a bit high, and the shop cannot sell food..."
When the Kongya people were introduced.
Zhang Jinlan shook her head repeatedly.
Before he could finish, she interrupted.
"No, no, this is not possible. We are selling food here. If we are not allowed to sell food, what are we going to do if we rent this shop?"
Hearing this, the Kongya man shut up, cleared his throat, and began to introduce the next one.
"The second shop is located at Wugu Lane in Caishi Street. It is at the end of the lane and a little out of the way, but the prices are very low. There are people selling food around it, so we can also sell food. It has a yard, but it is a little small. There is only a kitchen and toilet, so it is not suitable for living."
When Kong Yaren introduced herself, her eyes were fixed on Zhang Jinlan's face.
Seeing that she had no reaction, I knew she didn't like it.
So he immediately introduced the next one.
"The third shop has a great location, in the Food Lane of Baishi Street. This is the main lane, and there are so many people coming and going every day. The shop is not big, just enough to meet your needs. It can accommodate four tables at most. There is also a backyard with a kitchen, a toilet, and a bedroom, which can accommodate people."
Speaking of the third one.
Zhang Jinlan's eyes began to brighten.
"Let's go check out the third one. This one is pretty good."
She didn't consider the first two.
If one cannot sell food, it is of no use renting it.
A very bad location.
Caishi Street basically sells vegetables, grains and various kinds of meat.
The people who go there are just there to buy vegetables and leave immediately after buying. Who would eat there?
I'm afraid that I'll spend the whole day in the shop and there won't be any customers.
The location is quite remote, in the alley.
Even if the price was lower, she wasn't interested.
Although Zhang Jinlan had never done business, she often went to Caishi Street. Since her eyes are on her face, she naturally knew how to see.
"Okay, you guys wait here for a moment. The shop door is closed. I'll go get the key."
The Kongya people are very fast.
The wait lasted less than three minutes.
He took Zhang Jinlan and a few others to see the shop.
Because they were walking so fast, Jiang Fubao's short legs couldn't keep up.
Zhang Jinlan quickly held her granddaughter in her arms.
Since the six streets were arranged like petals, it only took them a quarter of an hour to reach Food Street.
As you enter the street, the main alley is the food alley.
The shop that Zhang Jinlan wanted to see was located in the middle.
The Kongya people did not enter through the main gate.
He had the key to the small door to the backyard.
A few people went around the side alley and came to the backyard.
The backyard is in a particularly good location, with a small river just outside the door.
There is a row of willow trees planted by the river, which is lush and green.
This river supplies water to all households in the town.
"The door is open, ma'am, please come in and have a look."
The four members of the Jiang family who were standing by the river enjoying the breeze heard what the Kongya people said, then they stepped over the threshold and walked in with their heads poked out.
At this time, Jiang Fubao had already fallen down from grandma's arms.
She landed on the ground and let go of her grandmother's hand.
Look around and touch things in the yard.
The yard is not big, but it is very exquisitely designed.
There is actually a well outside the kitchen.
The toilet is around the corner.
If you build a small house with wooden boards alone, you don't have to worry about the smell spreading to the kitchen or bedroom even in summer.
It was walled in tightly.
You can tell at first glance that a lot of thought was put into it.
As for the bedroom, it is not small and there is even a small room that can be used as a storage room.
After Jiang Fubao walked around the backyard, he ran to the front to check on the shop.
The shop is not big, just as the dentist said.
There was space for four tables. The front door was not open and the shop was very dark. It seemed that the inside had not been cleaned for a long time. The counter was covered with dust when I touched it.
Jiang Fubao wiped her hands on her clothes. Too lazy to look any further, she turned around and went back to the yard.
He looked down into the well.
After looking at it for a few seconds, Jiang Fubao sighed. What a pity! This turned out to be a shallow dry well.
If we dig deeper, we might not have to go to the river to fetch water.
Just now she noticed that the water level in the river outside the backyard was particularly low.
If this drought continues for another two or three years.
I'm afraid the river will dry up.
The people in the town could only fetch water from the big river outside the city.
The water is deep there.
But the water is turbid.
Only the people in the village don't mind drinking that water.
"How much is the rent for this yard?"
Just as Jiang Fubao was sighing, the voice of grandma asking for the price reached her ears.
Jiang Fubao turned around and looked.
"It will take at least six months to rent, and the monthly rent is two taels of silver."
After Kong Yaren finished speaking, Zhang Jinlan took a breath of cool air.
"What, two taels of silver? And the rent is for half a year? That's twelve taels, right?"
Oh my god!
In the past, their whole family could only save two taels of silver in a year.
As a result, I only had enough money to rent a shop for one month.
This does not include the commission given to the dental clinic.
If she wanted to rent this shop, wouldn't she have to pay thirty-two taels at once?
"Yes, the price is definitely non-negotiable, but if you think it's expensive, I can talk to the owner of the shop and ask him to make some concessions and let you rent it for three months first."
Kong Ya has been working in the dental industry for ten years.
He has already become a smart person.
He only needed to glance at Zhang Jinlan's expression to know that she had taken a fancy to this shop.
Since you want to rent a shop, you must have money.
He hadn't opened for business in the past few days, so he was determined to get the first sale.
Although the profit is not much, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.
He has a family to support.
Naturally, you have to earn more.
"I'll think about it. It's too expensive."
Zhang Jinlan waved her hands but couldn't come back for a long time.
Two taels of silver a month, and she couldn’t just rent it for a month. If she couldn’t make food business, she would have to lose about ten taels of silver.
She can't stand it.
This is ten taels.
"Okay, if you've made up your mind, come find me at the shop. My last name is Kong, so you can just call me Kong Ya Ren. I'll tell you, this shop is very popular. Three groups of people came to see it yesterday. Who knows, it might be rented out today.
But you also know that the location of this shop is excellent, with the street in front and the water in the back. If you do business here, you will definitely make a fortune. Once the door is opened, the street will be full of people. As long as the food you make is not bad, it will definitely sell well. "
