Chapter 287 (Three more)
Luo Cheng held her in his arms and smiled slightly, "No, I was thinking..." He glanced outside, "It's still early, go, I'll take you to see that shop."

Li Jiaoniang immediately became happy, "Yes, I almost forgot about the shop, let's go and have a look together?"

Let's see if we can get some price down.

The rent of [-] guan a year is too expensive.

If the money on hand is out of the rent, there won't be much left.

I don't know if I can turn over hundreds of dollars of money.

After all, this is in the city of Yuezhou, and you have to buy a piece of green vegetables.

Unlike opening a restaurant in Yunhe County, she and Luo Cheng grow the dishes, raise the fish and shrimp by themselves, and Luo Cheng hunts the wild game. The only cost she pays is rice noodles with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Luo Cheng harnessed the carriage and brought Li Jiaoniang to the shop.

At this time, the war on the border was basically settled.

In the evening of Yuezhou City, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and everyone was wandering in the street in twos and threes.

Carriages, mules, carriages, sedan chairs, and people on horseback can be seen at any time.

It's a good place to do business.

After going around for a few blocks, Luo Cheng's carriage stopped.

"Jiaoniang, we're here." Luo Cheng parked the carriage at the side of the shop.

Li Jiaoniang lifted the curtain and got off the carriage.

On the door of the shop, there is a word "rent".

She looked around, and there was a small alley on the left side of this place, and people came and went in and out from time to time.

On the right is a cloth shop, and on the right is a grocery store.

There are restaurants and teahouses opposite.

"Come on, let's go in and have a look." Luo Cheng pushed open the door of the shop.

"Okay." Li Jiaoniang held his hand, and the two walked into the shop together.

The empty shop is rented out, and the owner's house will not close the door during the day, so that people can enter the shop at any time to check the situation.

Because the owner has no time, he just sits in the shop and waits for the tenants all day long.

The shop has two floors.

There is a main hall on the first floor, two rooms on the left and right, and three rooms on the second floor.

The backyard is not big, about the same area as the house, but it is more than enough to park a carriage.

There is a well, and a crabapple tree is planted in the corner.

"What's outside the backyard? Let's take a look." Li Jiaoniang pushed open the backyard door.

There is a small river outside the backyard door, and there are occasional Upon boats in the river.

"Brother Luo Cheng, let's rent this shop." Li Jiaoniang nodded and said, "I'm very satisfied."

"What kind of business is Jiao Niang planning to do?" Luo Cheng looked at her with a slight smile, "There are restaurants and teahouses opposite, and there are also grocery stores in this row."

Moving here to do business, he and Jiao Niang can live in the shop instead of Lu's house.

He really didn't want to accompany Mrs. Lu to see guests anymore.

Li Jiaoniang said, "Open a medical clinic. I thought about it, and Brother Luo Cheng was right. The doctor in Dong Qi's family with half a bowl of water dared to set a high price to open a medical clinic. I know more than him, so I will open it too. Well, I collect herbs myself, and buy them if I can’t get them. This saves costs.”

Of course Luo Cheng agrees with her opening a medical clinic, which is easier than opening a tavern.

No need to get up early in the morning to prepare ingredients.

It is not necessary to stand by the pot table on a hot day for a whole day.

When I was in Yunhe County, on market days, the tavern's business was very good, but after a busy day, Jiao Niang slept on the bed and didn't want to turn over, complaining that her arms were sore.

tired.

He can't cook well, so he can't help her.

And opening a medical clinic is much easier.

"Okay, I'll go to the master's house, he lives nearby." Luo Cheng said.

"I'll take a look around, Brother Luo Cheng go alone." Li Jiaoniang wanted to inquire about the rental prices nearby, so as not to be tricked by the host.

"Don't run around, I'll be right back."

"Understood." Li Jiaoniang said with a smile.

Luo Cheng nodded and went to find someone.

Li Jiaoniang went to the pastry shop diagonally opposite.

The clerk in the shop saw her, and immediately greeted her, "My lady, what do you want to eat?"

"Oh, I want to buy some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and mung bean cakes." Li Jiaoniang watched on the laurel platform and ordered two.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll pack it for you." The guy picked up the chopsticks and put the pastry in a paper bag.

Li Jiaoniang pointed to the rented shop and said, "Hey, that shop is rented out, I don't know how much the rent is."

The man immediately said, "My lady wants to rent a shop? What kind of business do you plan to do?"

Words with alertness.

Is this for fear of doing business with peers?
Li Jiaoniang smiled.

She smiled and said, "I'm just curious. My family runs a medical center. If the price is right, I plan to open a branch. If the price is too expensive, forget it. I'll take care of the original store."

It turns out that it is a medical clinic, so it is not a colleague.

The clerk felt relieved, and handed the packed cakes to Li Jiaoniang, "It's a total of [-] Wen." Then he said, "My lady, if you want to rent that shop, you have to bargain hard."

Li Jiaoniang paid the money, "Oh, the price offered by the master is outrageous?"

"No, because..." the man lowered his voice, "That's a haunted house."

Li Jiaoniang was surprised, "Haunted house? Killed someone?"

"No, it's haunted." The guy's expression changed as he spoke.

It turned out to be haunted, Li Jiaoniang smiled.

If you want to talk about ghosts, she is.

She has died once, what the hell is she afraid of?

"Understood, thank you brother for reminding me." Li Jiaoniang said with a smile, holding the pastry and leaving.

The clerk shook his head and said to himself, "Oh, another renter, I don't know how long it will last. This is the sixth renter this year."

Back at the rented shop, Li Jiaoniang sat on the only stool in the shop, eating pastries while waiting for Luo Cheng.

She thought to herself, no wonder there is a shop rented out in such a good location, so it is haunted.

I just don't know what kind of haunting method it is.

Is it a real ghost, or is there something mysterious about it.

She was looking forward to finding out the truth.

Not long after, Luo Cheng walked over with a thin, shrewd middle-aged man.

"Jiaoniang, this is the master's house, Yuanwai Liu." Luo Cheng pointed at the man and said.

Liu Yuanwai pointed to the shop and said, "The price is the same as the last one, eight hundred per year."

Li Jiaoniang immediately said, "Eight hundred guan? Master, what you want is too expensive, your shop is a haunted house."
