In just half a month, the Wonderful Shop had earned more than 900 taels of silver, from which Wang Simeng took out 800 taels to purchase a new shop.
Dental clinic.
"Hello, I'd like to buy three shops on the main street," Wang Simeng said directly as she walked into the brokerage.
"Haha, young lady, you've come at just the right time! We do have a few shops on the main street recently. Shall I take you to see them now?" the broker said with a hearty smile.
"Okay, that's great." Wang Simeng smiled and nodded in agreement.
Soon, the broker led Wang Simeng to all the shops on the main street and showed them around.
"Young lady, these shops are all quite nice. Which one do you like? I'll give you a discount if you buy a lot," the broker said with a smile.
"Hmm... I think the first two-story shop we looked at, which is about 50 square meters, is pretty good. And the one next to it, which is about 30 square meters and has a courtyard, looks alright to me too."
"And the last one we looked at, a shop of about 30 square meters with a courtyard. These three seem alright to me. Give me a reasonable price, and if I'm satisfied, I'll buy them," Wang Simeng said with a smile.
"Haha, you can tell at a glance that this girl is a straightforward person, and I'm an honest person too, so I definitely wouldn't cheat you." The broker's smile became even more genuine.
He initially thought Wang Simeng was a young girl, perhaps easy to fool, and that he could make a fortune from her. But after hearing what Wang Simeng said, he didn't dare ask for too much. What if such a big customer ran away? Wouldn't he suffer a huge loss?
Finally, Wang Simeng briefly analyzed the housing prices in ancient times and used her remaining silver to buy three shops.
Wang Simeng didn't care that she was penniless again. Anyway, she had her own online shopping page, so she wouldn't have to worry about food, drink, or shelter.
Wang Simeng then selected three more cash register devices online, along with bagged milk tea for the milk tea shop and decorative items for the three shops, including minimalist wallpaper, tables, chairs, and tea sets.
At the dessert shop, Wang Simeng temporarily decided to only sell a few of her favorite desserts that were available in her small supermarket. The groceries she needed for the general store were also sourced from the small supermarket.
Because the small supermarket only carries the foods she likes to eat, Wang Simeng feels that the variety of products is a bit limited.
So I selected some items on the online shopping page that weren't available in smaller supermarkets. These were foods I don't particularly enjoy, but which might be popular with the general public—after all, everyone's tastes are different.
They commissioned three more signboards, all with names starting with "Wonderful": Wonderful Fried Food Shop, Wonderful Milk Tea Shop, and Wonderful Dessert Shop.
The second floor has been converted into a dessert shop, with fresh and cute wallpaper inside. On the first floor, there are six sets of oval-shaped tables and chairs with cute animal patterns.
The cashier is on the left as you enter. On the second floor, there is one larger private room, two smaller private rooms, and three private rooms, each with a different style.
Wang Simeng also plans to change the style of the second-floor private rooms every three months, opening an arched doorway between them and the milk tea shop on the next floor. After buying milk tea, customers can walk through the small door directly to the dessert shop. The general store currently only has two small tables and a cashier at the entrance.
Wang Simeng felt that the time was a little tight after completing the task in seven days.
"Sigh! I felt I was too idle back then, so I subconsciously had the idea of keeping myself busy, and now I'm really busy," Wang Simeng sighed.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, the three shops hung up their signs and placed wooden plaques at their entrances, sticking to the old methods and routines: a 20% discount on opening day.
With everything ready, Wang Simeng breathed a sigh of relief.
"My God, it's finally done."
There's only one day left in the seven-day period.
"Ding! The host has completed the mission. Rewards: 3 protective shields, 3 system intelligent shopkeeper character cards, and 1 Golden Bell Cloud Flying Vehicle. These have been placed in the space warehouse. The system has been upgraded from level zero to level one, and the fourth floor of the villa has been unlocked." System Xiao Liu sent a mission completion announcement while watching a TV series.
Wang Simeng was most curious about the system's intelligent shopkeeper character card. She calmly began to examine the system's intelligent shopkeeper character card.
Once activated, a shopkeeper character will appear randomly. The character's gender, age, and appearance are all randomized.
Everyone appreciates beauty, and a handsome man or beautiful woman as the shopkeeper is sure to catch everyone's eye. Wang Simeng held three cards in her hand and silently activated them. Three beams of white light flashed simultaneously from the three cards.
In the blink of an eye, three people appeared before them. Shuangxi, a pretty girl of seventeen or eighteen; Xiangxiu, a woman in her early twenties with excellent looks; and Zhongyi, a handsome middle-aged man of thirty-four or thirty-five.
These three people were clearly not ordinary people; it was a waste of their talents for them to be managers of three small shops.
Wang Simeng planned to have the three of them temporarily manage the shop, and then replace them with suitable candidates later, allowing them to manage a more upscale shop.
Wang Simeng instructed the three women, "From now on, you can call me Miss. Uncle Zhongyi will temporarily oversee the general store and also manage the Qimiao shop. Xiangxiu will manage the dessert shop, and Shuangxi will manage the milk tea shop. Let's arrange it like this for now."
“Yes, Miss,” the three people replied respectfully.
After settling the three of them in, Wang Simeng went to the Wonderful Shop for a while before realizing she hadn't hired any employees. So she took another hundred taels and went to the broker's place.
They bought five girls aged twelve or thirteen and renamed them Chunxi, Xiaxi, Qiuxi, Dongxi, and Sixi. They also bought a boy aged fifteen or sixteen and named him Shitou (Stone). The names were acceptable, so they didn't change them.
One person was assigned to each of the three small shops. The young man, Shi Tou, was assigned to fry food in the grocery store, while the remaining four people were assigned two people to each floor of the dessert shop. Everything was ready, and they were just waiting to open for business at noon the next day.
