Chapter 210 Buying a Shop
"There are many people and customers on Baiyang Street. If you want to find a shop on Baiyang Street, it may not be easy to find. Most of the shops on this street are ancestral homes, and few people are willing to sell them. Even if there are shops willing to rent them out, I guess there will be many people vying for them, and I think the price will be very high."
"That's quite troublesome, isn't it?" He felt a little worried when she heard it.
"If you want to buy a shop, you may need to think about it carefully," Aunt Li continued.
"Then what should we do?" He said worriedly.
"Mom, don't worry, we'll slowly look for it. There's still some time left."
Xu Qingmeng also knew that this street-side shop was not easy to sell. After all, it was the same in any era.
But even in the popular streets, the locations of shops are not all good, there are always some that are relatively remote.
Xu Qingmeng said: "There is no hope for a popular shop. It is no problem to be slightly off the beaten track. It is just a location."
Aunt Li thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then there are a few inconspicuous ones, but I don't know if they will sell them."
"But there's a guy called Xiao Lizi in our alley who specializes in this. He's a very nice guy and very loyal. You can ask him to keep an eye out for you. But after all, he does this, so he'll definitely charge money."
After listening to this, Xu Qingmeng thought, isn't that what is called an intermediary? Then this is understandable.
He wanted to ask how the fees were charged, but Aunt Li didn't know, after all, her shop was hers.
"How about I take you to ask."
"Is that okay?"
"Of course, it's not far away, we'll be there in a little while. I've watched this kid grow up, he's quite honest."
"Yes, this is my home. When you have some free time in the future, you can come to my house to play. There is a pomegranate tree in front of my yard. It is growing well now. If you like to eat it, come and pick some."
Xu Qingmeng and He Shi smiled and agreed. Gu Yunyi did not stay with them, but was reviewing his lessons at home.
The three of them were talking and laughing along the way as they walked towards Little Li's house. When they passed by Aunt Li's house, there was no one at Aunt Li's house and the door was closed.
"We're here, we're here, we've arrived at Little Li's house. Little Li's wife is good, but she's also a poor girl. She was sold to Little Li's family by her stepmother. But she's still pretty good, with a straightforward personality. She wasn't wasted by her stepmother and didn't change her character."
Little Leo's wife is petite and has a slightly yellow skin, but she is very pretty.
After hearing Aunt Li's explanation of Xu Qingmeng and He's purpose of coming, she said happily, "The head of the family is not at home. I'll ask Erbao to call someone back. Come on in and sit down. I'll pour you some water."
The yard of Li Jinhu's house is not big. Although his wife looks weak, she is quite fertile. There are quite a lot of children, and perhaps there is not enough room for them to live, so there are many rooms.
These rooms are similar to modern prefabricated houses, but are relatively simple, being separated by boards.
Just as Xiao Li's wife finished making the sugar water, Xiao Li came back.
Little Leo is tall and strong, and looks very energetic. He greeted the He family members as soon as he came in.
"Aunt, do you want to buy a house or a shop?"
Before He and the others could speak, Aunt Li spoke first: "Aunt Gu wants to buy a shop on Baiyang Street. Her family lives in the front, which is the yard guarded by Old Liu."
"So you're the new Gu family. No wonder they feel so familiar." Little Leo immediately became familiar with them.
Xu Qingmeng thought, he is indeed a salesperson, he is good at talking.
The Gu family's yard is one of the best in the area, and the yard next door is also not small. Originally, no one lived in the two yards, so no one was curious about them.
Now that the Gu family and the Zhou family have moved in, the relationship between the two families is still so good. They have been busy these days and have bought a lot of things. Even if you don't deliberately ask about it, people around have noticed it.
It’s just that the two families didn’t go out together, but everyone knew that both families bought the yards directly, not rented them, so it seems that they still have some assets.
Little Li was originally in this line of work, so he naturally knew more information than the average person. He also knew that the two courtyards originally belonged to four families, and that the people who came to handle the formalities were subordinates of the magistrate of Yan County.
Even if he is not from the provincial capital, he is still related to the officials, so he cannot be perfunctory and must be treated well.
When I heard that they wanted to buy a shop, I immediately became professional.
First, I asked them about their requirements for the size and location of the shop, and also asked them what kind of business they wanted to do.
Xu Qingmeng hasn't decided what to do for a living yet, and she's not in a hurry right now, but she thinks it will still be related to food. In fact, she is more inclined to open a restaurant.
But it is different from the public ones. It is more like the private restaurants in the previous life. It does not need a lot of customers, but only those who really understand food can eat it.
In this case, the storefront doesn't need to be very nice, and the environment doesn't need to be too lively. A quieter one would be better, but this is not something that can make you famous immediately.
Not only will you not make any money in the short term, you may even have to pay out of pocket.
However, this is just an idea of hers, and it can only be implemented after she gives birth to the baby. If she wants to make money, she actually wants to open a hot pot restaurant.
"Actually, I don't have any special requirements, but it would be best if there was a yard. I don't have too many requirements for the storefront."
Xu Qingmeng's remarks were rather vague and he didn't say anything useful.
Little Li thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I'll show you a map of some food stores in Baiyang Street and its surrounding areas. My sister-in-law is pregnant, so it's not convenient for her to run back and forth. If you like any of them, you can go to the store and take a look. Is that okay?"
"Really? Isn't that too much trouble?"
"No, no, Auntie, please sit down for a while."
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome, auntie."
After saying this, Little Leo went out to get the blueprints.
Xiao Li's wife explained, "The blueprints and other things are all in another yard. That one is bigger and there are more children in the family. But the main yard is quite close. Just drink some sugar water and you'll be back soon."
Xu Qingmeng understood as soon as he heard it. This compound was just like the so-called intermediary in his previous life.
However, this is different between the ancient and modern times. Modern real estate agents only offer houses, but it is different here. There are houses and introducers, the so-called slaves.
Xu Qingmeng and He looked at each other. Their family had been planning to buy someone, so they both became interested.
