Four hundred and fifty taels... He Tiantian's heart skipped a beat.
She has scraped together about two hundred taels of silver.
After thinking for a while, He Tiantian stood up and said, "Shopkeeper, I think I should take a good look at the shop."
If there's anything she doesn't like, He Tiantian plans to give up the idea of buying it and let herself give up.
"Yes, yes, this is no small sum. It's only right that you take a closer look, Madam." Manager Tong quickly got up and led the way.
The shop on the first floor was about twenty square meters, with about ten tables. He Tiantian had already looked around the main hall and couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Shopkeeper Tong first led her to the backyard, where there were two rooms. One was a cooking area, and the other was a storage room used to store kitchen utensils and vegetables.
The courtyard was neither too big nor too small, and had a well. The ground was paved with blue bricks and was kept very clean.
The backyard seemed fine, except for the fact that the well was dry.
As Manager Tong introduced the products, he kept glancing at He Tiantian's expression.
Seeing that she didn't react, he continued, "There's a second floor too, I'll take you to see it."
The staircase to the second floor is in the lobby on the first floor. Once the door is closed, it is directly separated from the kitchen, providing good privacy.
The second floor is set up with private rooms; there are four private rooms in total.
Each room is small, perfect for a small gathering of two or three friends. The rooms also have screens inscribed with poems and painted with landscapes.
A private room is a private room; the environment is elegant and offers better privacy.
He Tiantian thought that her small business didn't need any private rooms. However, these four rooms could be converted into comfortable places to rest and sleep.
They have a large family, so if the shop does well, they can stay here.
With such a nice environment, it would be great to bring Xiaomingzhu here for a short stay.
Wooden or brick houses are definitely cleaner than mud houses.
After looking at it carefully, He Tiantian couldn't find any flaws.
Manager Tong smiled and said, "Madam, I regularly hire carpenters to come and maintain this house, and I take very good care of it."
It's clear that the owner of the house takes good care of it.
He Tiantian made up her mind on the spot: Buy!
I'll borrow money to buy it.
That's how women are; if they see something they like, they have to buy it. If they don't buy it today, they'll definitely regret it and won't be able to sleep when they get home.
He Tiantian took out two hundred taels of silver from her waist and handed it over, saying sincerely, "Manager Tong, I only have two hundred taels on hand right now. But I really want to buy this shop. Could you give me some time to raise the money? This is the deposit."
Manager Tong took the silver and thought He Tiantian was a pretty honest person.
In business, the most important thing for them is honesty and integrity; they never deceive their customers.
"Alright, then please hurry, Madam."
Before leaving, Manager Tong wrote a receipt for two hundred taels of silver and handed it to He Tiantian, instructing her to keep it safe.
