Manager Liu genuinely didn't quote a high price; this is the current market price.
"No problem, I can sign the contract now."
Wei Yuyan was somewhat pleased that Manager Liu hadn't raised the price, and this shop was right across from her old one.
She was incredibly lucky, and Wei Yuyan couldn't wait to pay immediately.
"Alright, I'll go back now to get the contract. Just wait a moment."
Manager Liu hadn't expected the deal to be settled so smoothly; he should have brought the contract with him.
"Yu Yan, this is wonderful! Now we don't have to worry about our regular customers not being able to find our shop."
With Manager Liu gone, Sister-in-law Zhang could finally speak her mind.
"That's right, Manager Liu is an honest man, he won't cause any trouble."
We're really lucky; it's all thanks to Manager Jiang."
Wei Yuyan had made up her mind. Now that she had some free time, she would go to the mountains to dig up some good medicinal herbs whenever she had free time, which would also be a way of repaying Manager Jiang's favor.
"I can't wait to clean up now."
Aunt Zhang started looking for a rag, eager to clean the house and move in today.
"How about this, Brother Yilifu can go back and bring the food to your house."
The three of us will cook here and clean up while we're at it.
Brother Lifu called Sister-in-law Xiuhua over this afternoon. Let's try to get everything done today, move everything in, and start selling steamed buns here tomorrow.
Wei Yuyan thought that the sooner she started selling here, the sooner her customers would know that her shop had moved.
"Okay, then how about I go back now?"
Li Fu wanted to go back early to inform Xiu Hua so she could cook, otherwise it would be troublesome if she didn't cook enough food.
"Sure, you can go back now."
Wei Yuyan nodded, telling him to go home early.
As soon as Brother Lifu left, Manager Liu arrived, carrying two contracts and a pen and ink.
"Come on, I've signed it, you can just sign it now."
Manager Liu placed the items on the table.
After carefully reading the contract, Wei Yuyan picked up a pen and slowly signed her name.
The rest of the characters were not well written, but her own name, Wei Yuyan, was written fairly neatly and legibly.
"Here, this is six hundred coins, for two months' rent."
Wei Yuyan carefully put away the contract and counted out six hundred coins for Manager Liu.
"Mrs. Wu is indeed straightforward; here's a receipt for you."
Manager Liu then personally wrote a receipt and handed it over.
"Manager Liu, is the place next door also yours?"
Wei Yuyan remembered that he had just said outside that both rooms belonged to him.
"Yes, the rent is the same, and the layout is almost the same. Do you want to rent it?"
Manager Liu packed up his things and prepared to leave.
"Not needed at the moment."
Wei Yuyan nodded. She had this idea, but she didn't know what to sell. She was worried that selling food would affect the business of her steamed bun shop.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Manager Liu stood up.
"Wait, Manager Liu, you forgot to give me the key."
Wei Yuyan realized she didn't have the key yet.
"Oh dear, look at my memory. Here, I've left a bunch here. If you lose any, you can come to me for them."
Manager Liu took out a key, placed it on the table, and left after saying that.
"Hey girl, do you rent this place?"
Li Cai came over, somewhat surprised. He had just watched them come in and then watched Li Fu leave, and he had been itching to do the same.
I finally managed to wait until all the steamed buns were sold out before I came over to check.
"Yeah, how about that? Not bad, right? We won't go back for lunch. Let's hurry up and clean up and move the shop."
Wei Yuyan prepared to go to the steamed bun shop to find a rag to wipe and sweep what needed to be wiped.
"good".
Li Cai nodded and went back with Wei Yuyan to get tools to clean up.
"By the way, Brother Licai, there's an even more important task for you to do now."
The rooms in the new shop are quite spacious. I've prepared one shop with two beds for your convenience.
Take the silver to the carpenter's shop on East Street and buy two beds.
If you have it ready, that would be even better; if not, it must be delivered by the day after tomorrow at the latest.
Wei Yuyan took out 160 coins and handed them to Brother Licai. That should be enough. If not, she would pay later when the money arrived.
"Okay, then I'll go buy a bed first."
Li Cai drove the oxcart directly off.
Wei Yuyan and Zhang Dasao started cleaning the two rooms first, as they hadn't been rented out for quite some time and were quite dusty.
The two of them spent almost half an hour cleaning, and they had only cleaned one room.
"Take a break, Sister-in-law Zhang. I'll go cook. We'll have something simple to eat today."
Wei Yuyan saw that it was already noon and she couldn't let everyone work on an empty stomach.
"I'll go help you."
Wei Yuyan and Zhang Dasao returned to the steamed bun shop, leaving Li Cai Ge to continue sweeping the floor alone.
I glanced at the only ingredients in the kitchen and decided to steam some buns and stir-fry some chili peppers and mushrooms.
"I heard from Li Cai that you're going to buy two beds?"
Sister-in-law Zhang has lit the fire.
"Yes, he said he can deliver it tomorrow. When you bring your children, you won't need to sleep on the floor. It's inconvenient to sleep on the floor in this weather."
Wei Yuyan thought that since there were many beds, she could sometimes stay in town to help out.
"Now that Xiaoxuan and Xiaoya are in school, Licai and Lifu take turns staying near our home, so one card is actually enough."
Sister-in-law Zhang was still a little reluctant to spend the money.
"It's okay, I'll buy it. You all work hard, you need to sleep comfortably."
Wei Yuyan thought that the children would still come over occasionally when they didn't have time to go to school, so there was no need to save money on this.
About 15 minutes later, the meal was ready, and Sister-in-law Zhang called Brother Licai to come and eat.
"Brother Licai, there's nothing good to eat today, just make do with this. We'll cook something better tomorrow."
Wei Yuyan was thinking that she could cook a big meal at the new shop tomorrow to celebrate.
"No need, this is already very good. It's white flour steamed buns and stir-fried vegetables with lard. It's delicious."
Brother Licai ate a steamed bun and a mushroom with great relish.
"Yes, girl, your family is building a new house right now."
"Xiao Lei and Qian Qian are going to school, it's not easy for you either, so please be careful with your money."
Sister-in-law Zhang genuinely considered Wei Yuyan one of her own, so she wanted Wei Yuyan to be more frugal and save her money for important things.
"Thank you, Sister-in-law Zhang, I understand."
Wei Yuyan nodded, still touched. Unlike some workers who couldn't wait to eat the employer's lavish meals every day, Zhang Dasao and the others were nothing like them.
In their eyes, they regarded Wei Yuyan as their own family and did not want her to spend money.
After dinner, while Wei Yuyan was washing the dishes, Li Fu and Xiu Hua arrived.
"Sister-in-law, I heard you rented one across the street?"
Sister-in-law Xiuhua ran in happily.
"Yes, the door wasn't locked. Go check it out."
Wei Yuyan had to finish washing the dishes before going over, so she told them to go first.
"good".
After saying that, Sister-in-law Xiuhua couldn't wait to run out to look at the new shop.
