The next day, Ji Ming came back with a letter saying that the 600-tael lot could not be negotiated, so the 500-tael lot was negotiated for her. He asked her to bring 100 kilograms of corn and 380 taels of silver to the seller, and the contract could be signed on the same day.
100 kilograms of corn?
Not counting the rice and grain for now, after buying the shop, there was still 740 taels of silver left in the house.
In fact, Song Yuehua wanted to open a shop, but now it seems that it is not possible. There is no cotton and no pigs in Dongshan, and the harvest will not be available until the end of next year.
If you have to spend money everywhere when doing business, you can't do big business. You can only do small business. Even if you lose money, it won't be much.
If it really doesn't work out, you can wait for the shop price to go up in two years and then sell it and make some money.
Song Yuehua carried 100 kilograms of corn to the county town. The original owner was a young and thin man. He said that this shop was the inheritance of his ancestors.
The young man cried and told her about his difficulties. Song Yuehua was just worried that this man would ask her to pay more money.
After counting the items, Hou Wu took the two of them to the county government office to sign the deed. As expected of a professional broker, he was very familiar with the process.
"Miss Song, what kind of business do you plan to do after buying this shop?" asked the young man.
Song Yuehua told the truth, "I don't know."
young people,"……"
Seeing that this man still wanted to pull her aside to ask questions, Song Yuehua hurriedly called Ji Ming, then made the excuse of going to have a feast and left quickly with the deed.
The newly purchased shop was on East Street, not far from the You Mansion, about a quarter of an hour away.
The location of the shop is perfect. It used to sell groceries. The shop is spacious and bright, and the eaves are high.
"Do you think we can build a two-story attic here?" Song Yuehua said, pointing upwards.
Ji Ming turned around and nodded, "Okay."
The biggest problem now is that the shop door is seriously damaged and needs a lot of repairs and replacements.
The kitchen at the back was a little small, but it could be used to boil water and cook. There was also a cellar under the storage room. The two of them went down together and took a look around. The space was quite spacious.
"What kind of business do you plan to do in this shop?" Ji Ming asked, looking at the shop.
Originally, Song Yuehua was ignorant of the immensity of the world and planned to open a small embroidery workshop. However, after she calculated the expenses and realized that the workshop would have to be decorated, and goods would have to be purchased, she gave up the plan.
"I originally wanted to open an embroidery workshop." Song Yuehua said.
Ji Ming understood what she meant and asked with a smile, "What about now?"
"I have no idea now. What are you going to do there?" Song Yuehua had not seen Ji Ming's shop yet.
Ji Ming shook his head and said, "It can't be compared with your place. It's OK for small business, but not big business."
"I sell everything from firewood, rice, oil, salt, rouge and powder. When the time comes, Gou Wa Zi and I will go to a distant county town to look for some sources of goods. We will sell whatever is easy to sell."
What Ji Ming described is similar to a grocery store. It does not require too much decoration. You can just put up a few cabinets and shelves, and slowly trade things. It will accumulate little by little and it will be quite good.
"Are you really planning to sell the house in the You Mansion?" Ji Ming suddenly asked.
"Why, you want to buy it?"
Ji Ming waved his hand and said, "It's not me... Never mind, just sell it if you want."
Song Yuehua, "..."
"Do you have anything to prepare for your shop?" Song Yuehua asked.
Ji Ming smiled, "No need to prepare anything, just fix the door and lock it."
Rich people have their own way of doing things, and poor people have their own way of doing things.
Song Yuehua didn't consider herself a rich person. Although she hadn't decided what to do with the shop, she still had to repair the severely damaged areas.
Wait for Master Duan to come back and ask him to come and repair it, which saves another sum of money.
Song Yuehua promised Xiaobao that she would buy her a set of Go. After locking the shop, the two searched all over the city and found many places.
Finally, with the help of Hou Wu, he bought an old Go set from the home of a scholar named Xiang.
When they got home, Xiaobao and Dabao had not yet finished school, so Song Yuehua placed the Go board on the table.
There is a box of white chess pieces and a box of black chess pieces. The chessboard looks a little old and there are some slight wear and tear on the corners.
But it can be seen that the man must cherish it very much. If the drought had not just passed and the family was short of money, he would not have sold it.
When Xiaobao finished school and just walked into the house, he saw the Go board on the table in the living room.
"Go!"
Xiao Bao ran over excitedly, stroking the chessboard, then holding a box of chess pieces, he shouted to Xie Yu, "Master Xie, we have Go at home!"
Xie Yu, "..."
Xie Yu felt that her chess skills were not bad. Although she was not as good as her Third Uncle, Second Uncle, or Master Yi, she was more than capable of dealing with her father.
Before hiding in the snake cave, she wanted to divert Xiaobao's attention, so she taught her to play Go. After only five games, Xiaobao began to learn to fight back. After ten games, it became a bit difficult to deal with Xiaobao.
Later, they moved into a large compound. Xiaobao pestered her to play chess with him every day. She started to lose one out of ten games, then one out of five games. Now, she was a little unwilling to continue losing.
Today, Xiaobao finally got to touch a real chessboard, and it would be unreasonable not to play two games with her.
Xie Yu hummed in resignation and said helplessly, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the toilet first."
Song Yuehua stuck her head out of the kitchen and asked, "Xiaobao, can you count and see if there are any missing chess pieces?"
"Not less!" Xiaobao replied loudly.
After Song Yuehua finished cooking, she came over and asked, "Are you happy?"
"Happy!" Xiaobao ran over and kissed Song Yuehua hard on the face.
"This is really joyful!" Song Yuehua exclaimed.
