Song Yuehua went in and took a look at the shop.
The location is quite remote and the shop is quite small, with only one window facing outwards. The shop used to be a candle and incense business.
Going into the back, the space is even smaller and there is no proper kitchen. The previous owner of the shop did leave a small mud stove here. There is only an empty room with a lot of bamboo racks inside. It seems that this is the storage room.
According to Ji Ming, everything is sold here, which is equivalent to a grocery store.
If they were to open a grocery store, the storefront would be too small and I don’t know what they were going to do, Song Yuehua asked.
Zhang Dandan said while eating, "I will open a shop here. My elder brother and Gou Wa will go out to collect goods. Tang Yuan will pick up the goods and sell them in the county. The goods will definitely be sold. If we think about it carefully, we can make a good business."
"Our business may look complicated, but it's actually easier to control than other shops."
Zhang Dandan also talked about how to select goods, how to settle accounts, and how to retain them. After listening to him, Song Yuehua was envious.
While Ji Ming was away, Song Yuehua smiled and said softly, "Dandan, you should go to my place and be a small shopkeeper."
"Actually, your big brother is so powerful, but he doesn't need you. If you come to work for me, I'll give you a poached egg every day. Of course, if you have any requests, just tell me. How do you do that?"
Zhang Dandan coughed lightly, leaned over and whispered, "Sister Song, I also have a share in this store, so I can't go to your place no matter what."
"Of course I know that," Song Yuehua said, "How about this? You work hard in my chess club and I'll give you a share of the profits. This way, you'll also have a share in my chess club. Don't you think that's great..."
Song Yuehua was still persuading.
Suddenly, Zhang Dandan raised his eyes, stepped back, distanced himself from Song Yuehua, and said seriously, "Sister Song, please don't say such things anymore. I am not the kind of person who forgets his principles for the sake of profit!"
Song Yuehua felt strange and looked back, she saw Ji Ming looking at her with his arms crossed and a half-smile on his face.
The dog boy outside was still unloading the goods from the truck and waved inside, "Come and give me a hand."
Song Yuehua stood up, hiding the embarrassment on her face, and said earnestly, "I have tested him for you. Dandan is loyal. Treat him well."
After saying that, he ran outside to ask Gouwazi for help.
"Daya, it has to be you, you are as strong as an ox." Gouwazi said while wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Song Yuehua felt so guilty that she was too lazy to refute.
After moving all the things into the store warehouse, Song Yuehua thought that it would be better to pretend that what happened just now never happened.
Just as she was about to leave, Ji Ming stopped her and brought out a small bamboo box, saying, "It's full of chess manuals, a total of 10 taels of silver."
Song Yuehua opened the bamboo box and took a look. Although it was a bit worn out, the books were not cheap to begin with, and 10 taels was definitely not expensive. It seemed that she did not add more money in anger.
"I think you should give me 15 taels of silver." Ji Ming leaned against the door with his hands crossed, tilted his head and smiled, "I traveled thousands of miles to find chess manuals and chessboards for you, but I didn't expect you to take advantage of my absence and set your sights on Dandan..."
This was the first time Song Yuehua was caught in the act. She felt extremely guilty. "I was also confused and impulsive..."
"Sigh..." Ji Ming turned to the side and sighed heavily.
Song Yuehua quickly explained, "This is my first time opening a store and doing business. I'm not sure about it, so I'm..."
"What kind of business did you say you were doing?" Ji Ming asked.
"Chess Hall."
Ji Ming glanced at her and said, "You can also play chess."
"I won't."
"You don't run a chess club."
Song Yuehua said helplessly, "Others can just play chess, why do I have to learn it?"
Ji Ming thought for a moment and said, "I think you might as well teach people archery..."
Speaking of this, Song Yuehua waved her hands quickly, "That's definitely not possible. There's not enough space for archery, and... among my disciples, do you think any of you have made any progress in archery..."
Xie Wenwu, who is a cook, and Liu Xue, who is a pig farmer, these two really have nothing to do with archery now.
"Even if you don't have any ideas, you can't just do it recklessly!" Ji Ming said.
"Why are you messing around?" Song Yuehua retorted, "Forget it, you don't understand..."
Just as she was about to turn around, Song Yuehua asked again, "Did you receive the letter I wrote to you?"
"Oh, and this,"
Ji Ming took out the papers from his pocket and held them in front of her. "If I hadn't accidentally seen my name on them, I would have no idea when this letter would reach me."
"Xie Wenwu is not here, and Jiang Yu is illiterate, and you actually sent the letter to Hualin Lane..."
Song Yuehua then realized that this was indeed the case. She was in a hurry at the time and did not think it through carefully.
"Have you asked around for me?" Song Yuehua asked.
"There is no chess hall in Qingzhou, but I heard that there is a restaurant in Wenzhou called Donghai Restaurant. Every year, they invite students from all over the world and chess enthusiasts to participate in the Hailin Banquet, which is a Go conference." Ji Ming said.
Hailinyan, this information is quite useful.
After saying that, Song Yuehua was about to leave with the bamboo box in her arms. When she reached the door, Gou Wazi was still talking to her, "You're leaving now. Come sit down for a while. We still have some things to move..."
"Don't keep her. If she sits any longer, I'm afraid you will have to go to the chess club to work too." Ji Ming took the things from Gouwazi's hand and said with a smile.
Song Yuehua: "..." She is also picky about her people.
On the way back to You Mansion, Zhou Xiaohu asked Song Yuehua, "Daya, can your chess club really make money?"
"This is my first time opening a store and doing business, so I don't dare to take big steps. This kind of low-cost business is just right for me," said Song Yuehua.
