Transmigration: The Peasant Makeup Artist

Leaving the shop, Li Mo took a deep breath.

Seeing that the hour was still early, Li Mo had nowhere to go before Song Dashan came to pick him up home, so he just wandered around the street.

The proprietress’s clansmen are so unwilling to see her, it is impossible for her to go back to the shop, otherwise she and the proprietress have not had a birthday. It seems that some things have to be put on the agenda.

Li Mo glanced at both sides of the road while walking, trying to see if there were any vacant shops.

Originally, she planned to wait until Song Dashan's legs were completely healed before opening her own shop, but now it seems that this matter has to be advanced.

In fact, it is appropriate to open her own shop at this time. One is the money. The county magistrate gave one hundred taels of silver, and the family has a little left. It shouldn’t be a problem to buy a shop; the other is the contacts, she worked in the boss’ shop. For so long, many people have known her, and they have accumulated a lot of old customers. Even if they open a shop, they will not worry about losing customers; the third is safety. Now that she knows Sima Haoran here, she will not worry about her shop being lost. Others start.

The time and place are right and there are people. The problem now is to see if you can find a suitable shop.

Li Mo wandered all the streets of the town, and his legs hurt. Finally, at the end of a street, a vacant shop was not used for business. Li Mo estimated that the location of this shop was not good enough, and it was not lively enough, so it was not bought or rented.

Although this location is indeed not good enough, there is no other shop to choose from, so Li Mo still intends to ask about the situation of this shop first.

After wandering around the gate of the shop for a long time, there was not even a note on the door, and there was no contact information of the homeowner at all. Li Mo thought he had missed it, and after searching for it several times, he didn’t see it. The confirmation is no.

No way, Li Mo had to walk to the shop next door and inquire about the boss next door.

As a result, Li Mo discovered that the shop next door actually sold incense, candles, paper money and other things.

Li Mo suddenly understood that in addition to the lack of good location, another important reason for this shop’s vacant location is the shop next door. Ancient people were very auspicious when doing business, so they naturally didn’t want to do business with a shop selling dead people’s stuff. Neighbors think this is quite taboo.

However, as a modern person, Li Mo doesn't believe in feudal superstition at all, and he doesn't think that selling incense paper money is a taboo. I don't need to care about this. Therefore, he stepped in and faced the counter and didn't know if it was the boss. The person asked, "Boss, I want to ask, does the owner of your shop next door leave any address? I want to find him, but I don't know how to find it."

Hearing this, the man behind the counter opened his eyes slightly, and looked at Li Mo back and forth. Then he asked uncertainly: "Do you want to do business?"

Li Mo nodded, "Yes, I want to do a little business. I saw that the shop next to your house was empty, so I came to ask."

Hearing this, the man's eyes widened again, and there was a certain kind of inquiry in his eyes, as if he didn't quite believe Li Mo's words.

Seeing that he did not answer, Li Mo asked again, "Boss, do you have any news about the owner of the shop next door? If not, the little lady will not bother you."

The boss saw that Li Mo was really looking for the owner next door, and suppressed his suspicion, and said: "Madam, you can look forward to the shop next door. This place is really not very lively, and it is in my shop. Next door, you have to think about it."

Li Mo smiled and thanked: "Thank you for the boss's kind reminder, I just want to ask, I'm not sure whether to buy it or not."

The boss nodded when Li Mo said this, and continued: "This shop next door is not rented, but sold. It is sold as a whole, not just the facade."

Li Mo was puzzled: "What is sold in one piece?"

The boss explained: "There is a yard and a house behind this shop, which are used to live in. It happens to be a business in the front, and the back is used as a home. The owner of this house said that it should be sold together, not just a shop. In this way, the price of this house is not cheap. The location of this place is not good and the living is inconvenient. Many people originally wanted to do business, but when they heard that the houses in the back also wanted to buy together, they quit. , You have to think carefully."

The boss has done business here for many years and knows everything about the situation next door. The house next door was originally the host’s own business, selling cloths, but this location is really not good. The business can only barely make ends meet. The husband and wife have been supporting them for many years. Now they are getting older, the son also bought new ones elsewhere. Once the shop started a business, he closed the shop here and went to his son to bring him his grandson, so I wanted to sell the house here.

It's a pity that the location of this shop is really not good, and the houses at the back have to be sold together. There were no people interested in it, and none of the people who came to ask about it bought it. To this day, there are no more people asking.

But I didn't expect one to come today, and it was a womanly family. How is it possible for this woman's family to do business here? Asking is for nothing.

The boss had already decided that Li Mo could not buy the shop, but he didn't know that Li Mo's heart changed a little at this time.

Originally, Li Mo wanted to move his family to the town. Otherwise, there would be a lot of people running around the town in Tiantian Village, and it was indeed inconvenient to live in the village, except that he didn’t like the shortness of the village’s east parents. The atmosphere, and more importantly, is that there is Song Dashan's mother's family in the village. She doesn't look up and sees her head down. She feels uncomfortable every time she sees their eyes. Compared to the village, she still prefers to live in the town.

Originally, she was worried that she could not find a suitable house in the town. She also thought that if she could only buy a shop, she would look for the house slowly. However, she didn’t expect that the house behind this shop turned out to be the house of the family, and she wanted to sell it together. For her, it was a surprise.

Li Mo suppressed the slight joy in his heart, and said to the boss: "Boss, if the price of the house is reasonable, I can also consider buying it together. Do you know the specific price?"

The boss thought for a while and shook his head, "I don't know the current price. You should ask the host's house face to face. Then, I know where his house is now. Go and ask."

Li Mo smiled and thanked the boss: "Boss, thank you so much."

Coming out of the shop, Li Mo looked at the time, and then realized that Song Dashan's usual point of picking her up was earlier than usual. He was a little anxious, fearing that he could not find himself worried, and hurried to the boss's shop.

"Lady!"

A shout made Li Mo's swift pace stop. He looked up and saw Song Dashan driving a donkey cart in the distance.

Song Dashan hurried over to the donkey cart, and when he reached Li Mo, he jumped out of the cart and grabbed Li Mo's shoulder and scanned it up and down, his eyes full of worry.

Li Mo knew that Song Dashan should be worried about it, so he immediately plunged into his arms and apologized: "I'm sorry Dashan, I forgot the time, and made you worried. Have you been looking for it for a long time?"

Song Dashan didn't say that he was going crazy, he just hugged Li Mo's arm tightly, "It's okay if you're fine, it's fine if you're fine, let's go home."

The street is not a place to talk, Li Mo didn't say anything, and followed Song Dashan on the donkey cart.

After arriving home, Li Mo only talked about the things in the boss’s shop today, and then said: “When I came out, it was early to see the time, so I wanted to see if there was a suitable shop. I’ll be sure in the future. You can’t go to the proprietress’s shop to make-up, otherwise the proprietress will not be able to explain to the family members, but we have to find a shop in advance. We originally planned to wait until your legs are completely healed before opening a shop by ourselves.”

Song Dashan didn’t say much when he heard the words, just touched Li Mo’s cheeks, “In this case, open the shop in advance. The family you mentioned today, I will accompany you to find it tomorrow. You don’t want to be alone, I don’t. rest assured."

Li Mo nodded.

The next day, after Song Dashan finished pulling people in the morning, he drove Li Mo to the place the boss said in the afternoon.

Li Mo got out of the car, walked to the door and knocked on the door, then shouted at the deserted yard, "Is anyone there? Is anyone home?"

After a while, a little boy rushed out of the room with a runny nose and bubbles. When he saw Li Mo, there was a trace of fear and curiosity in his eyes, and he tentatively asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Li Mo said softly and honestly: "I'm looking for your adult, is there anyone in your family?"

The little boy saw that Li Mo was beautiful and gentle, and he was afraid that he would disappear. He nodded and pointed to the room, "Someone, I'll call!"

He hurriedly ran into the house and shouted, "Grandma, someone is looking for you!"

Soon after the little boy shouted, a woman came out of the house, about forty to fifty years old, not too old. She saw Li Mo and Song Dashan standing at the door, her eyes flashing vigilant and asked, "You are looking for me? What's the matter?"

Li Mo did not go in, but stood at the door and said, "Auntie, is the shop at the end of Chengxi Street yours? The next door is the one selling incense candles."

When the woman heard the words, her eyes changed, her vigilance disappeared a lot, she turned to a faint joy, "Do you want to buy a shop?"

Li Mo nodded: "Yes, I want to ask about the specific situation of your shop, and then look at it again."

Although Li Mo only said to take a look, the woman's expression was still very happy, and hurriedly came in to welcome Li Mo and Song Dashan, "please come in, come in and have a cup of tea and speak slowly."

After entering the house, the woman quickly made two cups of tea for Song Dashan and Li Mo, and then she sat down and asked, "Do you want to do business?"

Li Mo said, "I wanted to buy a shop to do a little business by myself, and I saw your shop, so I came to ask, madam, I wonder if you can take us to the shop?"

The woman nodded, "This is of course. You must have seen the house first. If you are free now, I will take you to see it."

Li Mo naturally agreed.

Song Dashan drove the donkey cart with Li Mo and the woman and her grandson to the shop.

Li Mo looked at the shop carefully. The area inside was large, larger than the shop of the proprietress, but the walls were a bit mottled. At first glance, it was quite a few years old, and it should have not been renovated for many years.

Seeing Li Mo looking at the wall, the old woman explained: "We have been in business for this shop for many years, but the business is not good. You know the reason, so I didn’t spend money on renovations, and I haven’t lived in the past few years. , So it’s a bit shabby."

Li Mo didn't say anything, but said straightforwardly: "I heard that your house is sold together with the back house. I want to see the back."

The woman's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly led Li Mo back.

As soon as you go out from the back door, you see a small yard. There are two very thick trees in the yard. A rope is tied between the trees. At first glance, they are used to dry clothes, and under the tree there is a A well, a pool was built next to the well to wash clothes.

There are three bedrooms in the back, a kitchen and a toilet. The furniture in the house was emptied, and it looked very empty, but the area was not small, and the walls were not too old. If you want to live in, you just need to simply decorate it, and it won't be too laborious.

Seeing this, Li Mo was basically satisfied, so let's look at the price.

Li Mo had no other expressions on the surface, making it hard to tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied. After a long while, he asked, "Miss, I don't know how you sell this house?"

Seeing Li Mo asked the price, the woman was still pleased.

The shop in her house has been sold for several years and has not been sold. She is also anxious. There has been no interest in the past year. Now a person has finally come to ask and ask the price directly. No matter what, There is hope of selling it.

The woman thought about it in her heart, looked at Li Mo and Song Dashan, and said a little nervously, "This shop, one hundred and fifty taels."

Li Mo didn't speak for a while upon hearing this.

To be honest, in this position, the price is not low, but it should be the woman who said it is higher, and there must be room for bargaining.

Seeing that Li Mo didn't speak, the woman looked a bit tangled, and said, "Although the location of my shop is not good, it is large in size and spacious at the back. It is very convenient for business in the front and living in the back."

Li Mo looked at the wall, pursing his lips and said, "Auntie, the location of your shop is really not very good, and the candlelight paper money business is still next door. This is not auspicious, but your shop is too old. If you buy it, you have to spend money to decorate it yourself, which is another expense.

This price is too expensive. "

The woman looked a bit embarrassed. In fact, she herself knew that her shop was not well located and not suitable for business. The most troublesome thing was the shop next door, but could there be any way that she could not let people go?

The woman thought for a while, and said cruelly: "Actually, if you really want to buy it, it can be cheaper."

Li Mo did not show joy, Song Dashan did not speak silently, relying solely on Li Mo.

Li Mo wandered around again, and finally said to the woman: "Your shop, I can only sell one hundred and twenty taels, ma'am, do you think it's okay?"

Thirty taels were cut off by Li Mo at once. The woman was a little confused and reluctant in her heart, but she missed the buyer, and she might not be able to sell it in the future, which made her not want to refuse.

In short, very tangled.

Li Mo also saw the woman's hesitation, and smiled: "Madam, or else you go home to discuss with your family, shall we talk about it in two days?"

The woman didn't know what to do. She thought about going back to discuss with the old man and her son, and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss with the family, and I will give you an answer in a few days."
