Chapter 218 Buying a Shop
The two shops that Song Ya people mentioned are both in the south of the city, neither of which is the main street. One is on Jiqing Street not far from the main street, and the other is on Huilong near the east side of the city. street.
The shop on Jiqing Street is the size of two floors and two facades, with a small courtyard at the back, which is similar to the small restaurant they bought in Luoshui City yesterday.
The shop on Huilong Street is also two floors, but has three facades, and the yard at the back is also extremely large.
There is almost no need to consider which of the two shops is more suitable. If you want to open a children's playhouse, the one with a larger yard is naturally better.
But Li Rongzong secretly whispered to Pomegranate, "This shop is suitable, but it's too expensive!"
It's shockingly expensive.
It is similar in area to their Children's Playhouse in Luoshui City, with only one more floor, but it actually has an extra one hundred and fifty taels of silver!
The small restaurant on Jiqing Street and Luoshui City that is the same size costs 180 taels, which is a full 60 taels more.
If it were not a prefectural city, housing prices would be so much more expensive. You can imagine how it would be in prefectural and capital cities.
But Liu Dong's family can open shops in these places, so we can know the wealth of the richest man in Bingzhou.
There is no need to go to the government office to rent a house. Song Ya people directly call the landlord and let him do the work. The two parties only need to sign a rental document. If there are any problems at that time, they will go to Song Ya. This person is a middle-aged person.
He paused and said: "However, I do have two houses in my hands. The owners do not sell them but only rent them-"
Pomegranate also knows that houses in Fucheng are difficult to buy. After thinking about it, I decided to settle for the next best thing, so I went to see those two houses with Songya people.
Song Yaren shook his head without thinking, "These two shops have just come into my hands. If you had come two days later, you wouldn't have such good luck. The house is even harder to find. It's so easy to find a house." If you don’t meet someone, if you are interested, I will keep it for you next time!”
Shiliu plans to use the first floor as a lobby, the second floor as a playroom, and the back yard for carpentry, leaving a kitchen and a small room, and the remaining rooms as carpentry workshops. Of course, there is also a wall built against the back wall. A hut and a stable.
Pomegranate rented it for a year first, and after getting the key, Pomegranate immediately asked Jiang Bing to buy new locks, and changed all the locks here and in the shop.
Pomegranate rented the latter for the sake of convenience. Anyway, I will be in the shop during the day, and this place is just for sleeping at night. It doesn’t matter whether it is wide or not, but it is fine. What about the blue brick house?
In one afternoon, Shiliu and the others bought everything they needed to buy, including bedding and mats, pots and pans. In the evening, they didn’t find an inn to stay in. They just stayed in the shop for one night. Anyway, it was sunny. Not cold either.
It was hard to find a shop, and I finally found one that I liked. If I miss this village, I won’t have this shop. So, Shiliu gritted her teeth and finally did not hesitate and took over the shop on Huilong Street for two hundred Thirty-five taels!
Including taxes and money from the middlemen, it cost almost two hundred and fifty taels. Fortunately, there was no round number.
This can be rented and returned at the same time, and the monthly rent is one or two yuan.
After buying the shop, Shiliu thought about it for a moment, and then asked the people in Songya if there was still a house for sale. It doesn’t matter how good it is, or it can be smaller.
Two houses, one is a little far away from Huilong Street. It is a small house with two entrances. The monthly rent is three taels of silver, and the minimum rent is three months. The other one is closer, but it is not considered a house. , there is not even a decent yard. There is only a narrow patio when you open the door, and then there are several rooms surrounding the patio. Fortunately, there are beds inside.
The shop was originally a cloth shop, and the decoration is still new. It is now empty, and it can be opened directly without any rectification.
It was a rare trip back and forth to Fucheng, so this trip was enough to finish all the things that needed to be done. Shiliu planned to take a good stroll, and just in time, the night market was not far away.
Pomegranate has not really visited this ancient night market street. This city is prosperous, and the night market is naturally as prosperous as a dream. Before it gets completely dark, lanterns are hung everywhere, illuminating The whole street is like a dream.
The various stalls on both sides are dazzling. It is summer, and there are many selling ice drinks, such as ice and snow cold dumplings, iced glutinous rice wine, sweet water bowls, iced sour plum soup, etc. Pomegranate's eyes lit up. This ancient summer dessert was not inferior to future generations at all. She had never seen it before. I didn’t eat dinner, so I thought of going to this night market to settle it while shopping. I happily bought pomegranates, and then I got a bowl of sweet water, which contained various seasonal fruits such as lotus seeds, papaya, watermelon and peach flesh, and poured it on top. I drank some rock sugar water, chilled with an ice cream, it was so cool, I took a spoonful into my mouth and felt so comfortable!
The pomegranates were delicious to eat, and she did not forget to let her eldest brother eat whatever he wanted. It was a rare occasion, and she treated him!
Of course, there was also Jiang Bing and Jiang Tong, and she didn't treat them differently.
The two were flattered and ordered a bowl of iced glutinous rice wine to drink.
As for Li Rongzong, he bought Bingxue Leng Yuanzi.
The four of them brought ice drinks and ate while walking. Pomegranate was looking for the next food he wanted to eat, ready to attack at any time. Shopping in the night market is fun only when you eat while shopping!
This was the first time that Pomegranate had eaten papaya and watermelon in so many years since she had been here. The natural, pesticide-free melons were sweet and delicious. Her eyebrows arched as she ate a piece of watermelon, not noticing what was ahead.
At this time, a person suddenly ran towards me and collided with the pomegranate. Most of the sweet water bowl was knocked over and fell on the pomegranate's chest, making it wet all of a sudden.
Fortunately, even the thin shirt I wore had two layers, otherwise the light would be transmitted.
Pomegranate was about to see who bumped into her, but saw that the person bumped into someone without apologizing, and ran past without stopping at all.
Li Rongzong couldn't help but said: "Who is this? Pomegranate, are you okay."
"It's okay."
Just as he was talking, a few people from behind ran up, squeezed past the pomegranates, and chased forward, "Stop! Don't run!"
Obviously they were chasing the person who hit the pomegranate just now. No wonder that person hit him. The man didn't stop, and it turned out that there was a dog chasing him from behind.
My clothes were wet. Although it wasn't cold, the sweetness sticking to my body was uncomfortable. I hadn't finished visiting the night market yet, so I had to wait until next time.
I packed some food nearby and went back to the shop.
Pomegranate took a shower and changed clothes first, and then came out to eat. Li Rongzong and the others had already eaten the noodles they packed. The porridge and jelly she bought would not affect the taste if left for a while.
While I was eating, I heard loud noises outside and the sound of dense footsteps.
Jiang Bing was alert and went to the front shop to see what was going on. After a while, he hurried back and said, "Girl, there are many officers and soldiers outside, searching door to door! It sounds like they are searching for something. People.”
I was fine during the day. What happened suddenly?
Having to go door to door to investigate, Pomegranate couldn't help but think of the routine of watching TV series in her previous life. Which big shot was assassinated or whose treasure was stolen?
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside. It seemed that it was their turn.
Shiliu hurriedly asked Jiang Bing to open the door.
Soon, a group of officers and soldiers rushed in. Without saying a word, they started searching everywhere.
An officer leading the team held a portrait in his hand, "Have you seen the person in the portrait?"
