To be honest, people don't have much money these days, so they're trying to negotiate a rent reduction, which Ning Jing understands.
After all, nobody's money grows on trees, so it's always good to save where you can.
However, the moment the woman opened her mouth, she shifted the blame onto herself, and Ning Jing's opinion of the couple changed.
I'm glad I didn't rent to people like that.
Otherwise, if anything happens in the future, it's hard to say whether she'll be blamed for everything.
Not renting it to them might actually be a good thing.
Ning Jing didn't take the couple's fierce glares to heart as they left.
After speaking with Wang Guihua, I focused on arranging the braised food on the iron plate, waiting for customers to arrive. They would weigh, cut, and pack whatever amount they wanted.
Wang Guihua originally helped her with this work, lending a hand, but now that the house is built, Fu Hongxing has free time, so naturally he helps out.
However, Fu Hongxing went to collect chickens, ducks and other ingredients early this morning, so he wasn't here.
Therefore, Ning Jing should prepare everything in advance so that she won't be caught off guard when guests arrive.
Seeing Ning Jing braising something by herself, Wang Guihua naturally went over to help.
Zhao Dazhu was cleaning the shop next door. Ning Jing had already cleaned it before, so he only needed to sweep up some dust on the floor.
"Sister Guihua, have you decided what kind of shop you want to open?"
Seeing that Wang Guihua was helping, Ning Jing did not stop her and continued with her work, casually asking a question.
In her opinion, since this place is close to the market, why not open a breakfast shop?
However, Zhao Dazhu and Wang Guihua are getting old and their bodies may not be able to keep up.
"I've discussed it with your brother Dazhu, and we're planning to open a rice, flour, and cooking oil shop."
These things, no matter when, will always be needed by people, and there will always be buyers.
When Ning Jing heard Wang Guihua mention the shop, she paused for a moment, then smiled.
"It's good to open this shop. Brother Dazhu will handle the purchasing, and you can just manage the shop."
There are quite a few families living here. Unlike the countryside, the city doesn't have its own land to grow food, so everyone has to buy everything they eat.
Although this rice, flour, and cooking oil shop may not make huge profits, it is definitely a very stable business.
Most importantly, running a store like this isn't tiring.
Brother Dazhu and Sister-in-law Guihua are getting on in years, unlike the young people who can work from dawn till dusk.
After the house was built, Ning Jing didn't think about continuing to ask Sister Guihua for help, partly because she was worried that getting up so early to work might tire Sister Guihua out.
"However, such a store probably won't make much profit at the beginning."
Okay, let's set the rent at 100 per month for now, and then we'll raise it once your business is more stable.
After thinking for a moment, Ning Jing spoke directly to Wang Guihua.
Wang Guihua was taken aback when she heard Ning Jing's words and shook her head repeatedly.
“That won’t do. I’ve calculated it with your brother Dazhu. This business is viable, and we should be able to recoup the rent. We’re not greedy; as long as we can earn enough for two people’s wages, that’s enough.”
"We can't expect your family to subsidize us like this. If that's the case, we might as well not rent your shop."
Wang Guihua knew that Ning Jing was worried that if business was bad and they paid rent but didn't make a profit, they would have a hard time making ends meet.
However, even if life is tough, it's a matter between the couple, and there's no reason to shift the blame onto Ning Jing.
No matter what Ning Jing said, Wang Guihua just shook her head, insisting that they would pay whatever rent others paid, or else she would rather not rent and go back to the village with Zhao Dazhu to farm.
