Chapter 75 I can only envy, jealousy and hatred
"I know. I'll have them finish planting this year. If they do well, I'll let them plant again next year. It doesn't matter who plants. I don't have any extra labor, so I'll have to hire tenants anyway."
When the time comes, they can plant whatever she tells them to plant. If they are obedient and hardworking, there is no need to change it.
"That's great. I found that tenant for Master Qian before. They're definitely hardworking people. They're also worried that the new owner will suddenly fire them. Okay, I'll send someone to give them a reply."
…
After dinner, the owner of the pawnshop did not leave and took Jiang Lianzhu to the Yingke Restaurant again.
He took out the keys to the front and back doors and gave them to Jiang Lianzhu.
"Madam Jiang, I'll give you all the keys. I suggest you replace the locks with new ones so you can be more at ease. There are also some tables, chairs, benches, and other utensils in there. They all belong to you. I can help you check them out."
Jiang Lianzhu stood at the door, not moving.
She stared at the plaque on the first-floor gate. There were some large, imposing golden characters on it: "Yingke Restaurant".
Not very straightforward.
"Dabao, Erbao, go in and bring me a stool. I'm going to take down this plaque."
The two little guys left immediately.
He was so happy that he actually brought out a big bench.
Jiang Lianzhu stood up, tiptoed, picked up a big broom next to her and poked it upwards, hitting it just right.
Jiang Lianzhu nimbly dodged to the side, protecting the two cubs as well. At this moment, the plaque of the Yingke Restaurant fell down with a loud bang.
It broke into pieces!
The street was quiet at first.
Then came the cheers and applause!
"good!"
"Okay, okay! It's time to take down this plaque as we bid farewell to the old and usher in the new."
Among the neighbors and villagers who came to watch the fun, there were a few sneaky figures.
I hated Jiang Lianzhu so much.
When he saw the plaque of the Yingke Restaurant being knocked down and broken by a broom, he rolled up his sleeves and almost rushed out, wanting to fight.
Then he endured it.
"Forget it. If it were someone else, we could still go up and scare them. Now let's go back to Mr. Qian."
"Even Master Qian couldn't handle this Madam Jiang, and we have no other options. If it were someone else, we wouldn't be able to let her have a good ending today."
After comforting himself, he withdrew from the crowd.
The owner of the pawnshop was also extremely nervous when Jiang Lianzhu took down the sign.
If someone jumps out to cause trouble at this time, it will be difficult for them to do business, and the deal may even fail; if no one jumps out to cause trouble, the deal will end successfully.
Until Jiang Lianzhu smashed the plaque and signboard, no one came out to make trouble, and the owner of the pawnshop clapped his hands vigorously.
"Alright! It's time to change this sign. Starting today, with a new owner, it's time to get a new one. Come on, take a look inside. If there's anything you don't want, I'll take it away for you for free."
There are eight private rooms on the upper and lower floors, and more than a dozen tables in the hall.
The benches and tables are made of good materials, are sturdy and square, and are painted with good paint.
There is a yard behind the first floor, with several auxiliary rooms, which are the large kitchen, utility room, and living quarters for the chef and waiters.
Looks really good.
Jiang Lianzhu felt that she had really made a profit of the hundred taels and had found a bargain.
One hundred taels of silver could not build such a nice house in this location, not to mention its commercial value.
Jiang Lianzhu reviewed them all and had a clear idea of them.
Erbao and Sanbao were busy playing happily, and only the little guy Dabao followed Jiang Lianzhu, carefully remembering everything in his heart. He checked like a little adult and pointed out any broken parts or unreasonable placements.
The owner of the pawnshop was watching in amazement. He thought that this kid must have become a genius. He was so mature and knowledgeable at such a young age. He could communicate with adults without any obstacles and was even smarter than some adults.
If my child could be half as good as others, I would be very lucky.
I can only envy, jealousy and hatred.
After handing over everything, the owner of the pawnshop said goodbye to Jiang Lianzhu and her son and left with peace of mind.
Before leaving, Jiang Lianzhu stopped him again and said, "Boss, I'd like to buy a second-hand carriage, something cheaper. If you find one that's suitable, please keep an eye out for me."
"Oh, okay!"
The price of a carriage is high because it requires a good horse. It is not uncommon for a new carriage to cost up to one or two hundred taels of silver.
Of course, Jiang Lianzhu doesn't need such a good one. Second-hand carriages are a little cheaper and can probably be bought at half the price.
"It's not easy to find a suitable old carriage. When I got the news, I sent someone to Wangjia Village to deliver a letter to Madam Jiang."
"Thank you very much."
After the owner of the pawnshop left, Jiang Lianzhu looked through all the items, then went to the grocery store next door to buy a few new locks and replaced the locks on the front and back doors.
Dabao said, "Mom, we don't live in town. If some bad guy gets evil intentions and comes here to cause damage while we're away at night, the losses will be immeasurable."
I thought the same thing as Jiang Lianzhu.
This lock can only protect against gentlemen, not villains. On the surface, Mr. Qian didn't dare to embarrass her, but who knew what tricks he would play in secret.
"How about we rent the first floor and the backyard to the owner of the Sifang Restaurant where we just had dinner, and keep the second floor for ourselves until next autumn when the pear paste season arrives."
Just add a wooden staircase from the outside of the building to separate the second floor from the first floor.
In this way, they would have someone to help them look after the shop, they could also earn rent, and they could also keep a reserve for themselves.
Dabao nodded, "Okay."
So Jiang Lianzhu went to Sifang Restaurant again and finalized the deal.
In the past, Yingke Restaurant had been suppressing Sifang Restaurant, but Sifang Restaurant did not go bankrupt and had persisted tenaciously, which showed that it had certain strength. Now Yingke Restaurant has closed, and only Sifang Restaurant is left as the big restaurant, and its business is booming, but it lacks venue.
The shopkeeper was afraid that Jiang Lianzhu would also open a restaurant, so he came to toast her and ask her some questions. Now that he knows that Jiang Lianzhu doesn't want to open a restaurant, renting it to them is exactly what he wanted.
Even one layer is excellent.
Since Shili Town can accommodate two large restaurants, it must have so much business.
Now that the two companies have merged into one, they can naturally handle it.
Sifang Restaurant gave Jiang Lianzhu a satisfactory rent, and Jiang Lianzhu immediately gave the key to the first floor to the owner of Sifang Restaurant.
The second floor is blocked by door panels, so people are not allowed to go up. When Jiang Lianzhu is free one day, she will ask someone to build a staircase.
This matter was quickly settled.
The owner of Sifang Restaurant was so happy that he set off firecrackers immediately and immediately asked someone to re-order the plaque to let everyone in Shili Town know that Jiang Lianzhu had rented the restaurant to them.
