Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

The mother and daughter found the teahouse that shopkeeper Zhou mentioned. It was a two-story shop. There was a piece of paper taped to the door with four words written on it: The shop is for sale.

Business in the teahouse was deserted and there were no people around.

Jiang Xiaoxiao followed her mother into the teahouse. As soon as she entered, she looked around.

The lobby on the first floor of the teahouse is quite large. The floor is paved with tiles. Tables, chairs and benches are arranged neatly. It is also cleaned inside and out.

Except for a few guests, there was only one waiter cleaning the table.

The shopkeeper was sitting at the counter, fiddling with his abacus boredly. He didn't even raise his eyelids when he saw the guests coming, and quietly shouted: "The waiter will serve tea."

"Come on!"

The waiter was very enthusiastic. He put the rag for cleaning the table on his shoulder and greeted him enthusiastically: "Two guests, what do you want to eat? We have dragon buds, Pu'er, and fruitless tea here..."

Halfway through his words, he saw the short Jiang Xiaoxiao looking at him without blinking, and added with a smile: "We also have mung bean porridge, sour plum soup, pear pulp, papaya juice and raw pickled papaya... Madam, what do you want to drink?"

What he added later were melon juice soups that children love to drink or are suitable for children.

Jiang Xiaoxiao applauded in her heart. The waiter seemed quite smart and well-behaved. If this shop could really be bought, this person could stay and use it.

"Two bowls of sour plum soup." Jiang Wei said quietly.

"okay!"

The waiter went down to get ready.

Jiang Wei also looked around at the layout of the teahouse, then led Jiang Xiaoxiao to the counter and asked straight to the point: "Shopkeeper, how do you plan to sell this shop?"

Hearing the sound, the shopkeeper finally raised his head and looked at the person.

But when he saw what the mother and daughter were wearing, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned invisibly. Is this shopkeeper going to act like a dog looking down on others?

"Well, Madam, as you have seen, my teahouse is in poor business and I really can't continue to operate it. If you know any wealthy man who is interested in my shop, you can help introduce it."

Although the shopkeeper's words contained disappointment, his attitude was okay and nothing happened as Jiang Xiaoxiao imagined.

"How much do you plan to sell this shop? The shopkeeper might as well set a price." Jiang Weidao.

The shopkeeper smiled, not thinking that the woman in front of him could afford it, so he said truthfully: "To tell you the truth, my shop originally offered a price of one thousand five hundred taels, and a few people came, but they ran away as soon as they heard the price. , now I don’t dare to raise a random price, if you can find someone to buy it, the fixed price is one thousand taels, but it can only be paid in one lump sum."

One thousand taels?

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but glance at the entire teahouse after hearing this price. To be honest, the price of this second-floor shop was one thousand taels, which was already much lower than the price on the market.

An ordinary first-floor shop costs about 800 taels, and a second-floor shop in such a good location cannot be bought with a thousand taels of silver.

This shopkeeper probably said the same thing as shopkeeper Zhou, he was in a hurry to sell the shop, so the price was kept so low.

Her family had made a thousand taels of silver from the ice cream and ice cream business in the past few months, but building a house also cost a lot of money. They could only scrape together 800 taels of silver on hand. It was a bit difficult to take over this shop in one go. Difficulty... She was still thinking about where to get the money. Jiang Wei beside her took out the five 100-tael silver notes from his sleeve, and then took out dozens of golden silver notes from the other cuff. bullion.

"Then let's sign the contract at this price."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and took a closer look at the gold bars on the counter. The more he looked at them, the more familiar they looked, and then he remembered that this was not the gold bar in the treasure box they found on the mountain earlier!

She almost forgot that there were countless gold and silver jewelry, gold bars and jade in this treasure box. If you just take out a few pieces, it would be a lot of money.

The shopkeeper opened his mouth and looked at the gold bars on the counter with disbelief. He was stunned for a long time before he stammered: "...Okay, okay, let's establish the contract."

He hurriedly found paper and pen and began to draft documents.

In this era, when buying or selling a house or a shop, you must first sign a deed, and then both parties confirm that there is no problem before signing and fingerprinting to transfer the house, and finally go to the county government to seal the deed.

To make a deed is to draft a sales contract document, also known as a contract. To seal a deed is to go to the county government, submit the contract to the county government for approval and seal it, and make a copy to keep for record. In the end, the sale is completed, and subject to this The legal protection of the times.

Generally in a large place like Beijing, if the buyer and seller want to save trouble, these procedures can be left to the dental office. They are both a guarantee and an intermediary. They can also submit the contract transfer documents to the county government for filing on behalf of the buyer and seller.

Naturally, there is no such thing as a dental clinic in a small place like Yong'an Town. After signing and pressing, they have to go to the county government office in person.

By the time the group returned to the teahouse again, it was already approaching the Shen time.

All the customers in the teahouse were gone, leaving only the waiter who was still happily wiping the tables and cleaning.

The shopkeeper held a brand new contract and banknote in his hand. He changed his previous depressed attitude and enthusiastically led the mother and daughter to the backyard of the shop. He introduced: "I just renovated this backyard not long ago. I usually use it." Come and use it as a warehouse or a temporary residence. Everything and the furniture inside are all new and you can move in directly..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao followed her mother and looked around. The backyard was very spacious, the ground was paved with tiles, and there were several trees planted in front of the house. The environment was good.

The doors and windows of the house are all newly painted. It was indeed renovated not long ago as the shopkeeper said.

The more Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and she felt that the one thousand taels of silver was really worth it.

"...Well, this shop has been with me for many years. If I hadn't left in a hurry due to something else, I wouldn't have sold this shop at a low price." At the end of the sentence, the shopkeeper couldn't help but lamented, "By the way, the waiter in the teahouse has the last name Lin has been working here for many years and is very diligent. If you plan to open a store, you might as well keep him to help."

"Okay." Jiang Wei nodded in agreement, thinking that he was quite satisfied with the waiter named Lin.

After the shopkeeper emptied the teahouse and left, the mother and daughter also prepared to leave the town and return to the village.

Although the shop has been purchased, it will still take some time before it is officially opened. After all, the family's soap has not yet been produced in large quantities.

Moreover, the shop still needs to be renovated, and the plaque outside the shop needs to be replaced, but these will have to wait until later.

After locking the doors and windows, the mother and daughter had just walked out of the shop when a carriage passed quickly in front of them, and the wind brought by the speed lifted the curtains of the carriage.

Through the corner of the raised curtain, Jiang Xiaoxiao saw a familiar face.

She was stunned for a moment, her eyes following the carriage and stopping on the opposite street.
