Chapter 48 The Ice Shop
The next day, Qin Zhou came early to pick up Dai Qingyun to visit the shop.

The two of them tacitly did not mention what happened yesterday, and ran half the county with the boss of the tooth shop.

Dai Qingyun sat on the bench in the tea shop and hammered his short legs, while muttering, "Finding a shop is also a physical effort."

"Drink some water." Qin Zhou handed over the teacup and asked the tea shop to bring a pot of boiled water.

"Mr. Qin, Miss Dai, you have all finished reading the shop in my hand. It is really gone..." The owner of the dental shop sat aside and said with a wry smile.

Dai Qingyun drank the water, and when he heard the boss of the dental shop say this, he felt a little worried, "Why don't you look for it again?"

The owner of the dental shop looked at her in embarrassment, and then at Qin Zhou, "I'm sorry, but I own the most shops for sale and lease in our county, and the others probably have fewer."

Qin Zhou signaled Dashan to pay him hard work and let him go first.

"Then what should I do?" Dai Qingyun looked at the owner of the tooth shop who was going away, and then said to Qin Zhou, "Am I asking too much?"

She just wanted a decent shop, preferably the same as a wine shop, with a second floor so she could renovate it easily.

"Dashan, is there a shop like this on the South Street?" Qin Zhou thought for a while and looked at Dashan.

"Ah, it seems to be, but it's not suitable to open an ice shop on South Street..." Da Shan scratched his head, the South Street was a little messier than West Street and East Street, and gambling shops and brothels were all on South Street.

"Really! There is a shop just now, why didn't the owner of the tooth shop take us there?" Dai Qingyun was happy, "If there is anything inappropriate, they are all open for business, not to mention that our business does not disturb other shops."

Qin Zhou looked at her, pursed his lips, "South Street is really not suitable." How could he have forgotten that South Street has opened shops such as gambling houses and brothels? ...

"It's me who didn't think about it carefully."

Dai Qingyun didn't think there was anything inappropriate, "I know what you're worried about, and I'm not in charge of opening the left and right shops. If there is really a suitable place on South Street, it will save us from looking everywhere."

"Let's go, let's go and have a look." Dai Qingyun stood up with a smile, "Look for it first, in case there is no suitable one in South Street."

Qin Zhou couldn't refute any more, so they went to South Street in a carriage.

There are four main streets in the county, which are East, West, South and North Streets, and North Street is a street where wealthy people gather in the county. They are mainly residential, and few have shops.

The East Street is dominated by restaurants, inns and restaurants, while the West Street is dominated by people's livelihood, such as jewelry shops, cloth shops, grocery stores and so on.

On South Street, brothels and gambling houses are the main shops, but there are also many other shops. Compared with other streets, the flow of people on South Street is a little less.

After seeing the shops for sale on South Street, Dai Qingyun was not very satisfied. If the ice shops were spread around the brothels and gambling houses, the business would definitely be bad.

Dai Qingyun and Qin Zhou walked slowly, thinking that they would definitely not be able to find a suitable shop today.

"Let's go to the shops on West Street and East Street to screen tomorrow." Dai Qingyun thought for a while, then turned his head and said to Qin Zhou.

Qin Zhou waved his folding fan and walked a block, sweating a lot on Dai Qingyun's forehead.

"Well, no hurry."

Seeing his simple answer, Dai Qingyun was used to it a long time ago, and he didn't care about it. As soon as he was about to leave South Street, Dai Qingyun saw a man in front of a shop near the corner of East Street, pasting red stickers on the door. Paper.

"Qin Zhou, look." Dai Qingyun pointed at the man, a little pleasantly surprised. The location here is far away from the center of South Street, but also in the center of the county. This location is very good for opening a shop. It would be the best if the shop is just right.

Qin Zhou looked over with his hands, and was also a little surprised.

So the two walked over quickly.

"Uncle, can we take a look at this shop." Dai Qingyun looked at the man with a smile.

The man saw that both of them were well dressed, and there were servants following behind him, thinking they were the sons and daughters of a rich family, he quickly responded, "Of course, my shop was originally a book shop handed down from my ancestors, but it's a pity that I'm not good at running it. The family will also move to Fucheng, so this shop is going to be sold."

While talking, the man opened the door and asked them to see.

When the gate is opened, there is a small courtyard with tables and chairs on both sides, and a lot of flowers and plants are planted around the wall, which are blooming beautifully at the moment.

When I entered the house, although the shop is not too big and there is no second floor, but the lighting is good, the house has been evacuated, but it is easy to renovate, there is a small kitchen next to it, and further inside is the backyard, which has been planted A bamboo forest, there are also a few tables and chairs, it looks a bit elegant.

On the whole, the shop is clean and bright, with a front yard and a backyard, Dai Qingyun is very satisfied.

"You have a good shop, I don't know what to call uncle." Dai Qingyun asked the man with a smile.

"My surname is Zhang, hehe, my shop is really good, the lighting is good and transparent, and it won't get wet even in rainy days. It's good for both of you to open a shop." Uncle Zhang patted his chest, as if they couldn't buy it if they missed this shop. It couldn't be better than this.

Dai Qingyun was noncommittal, went inside again, and said to Qin Zhou, "I think it's good, what do you think?"

Seeing her bright eyes, looking like she just wanted to buy this place, Qin Zhou was a little amused, "Then here it is."

"Uncle Zhang, how much do you plan to sell this shop?" Seeing that Qin Zhou agreed, Dai Qingyun suppressed his joy and turned his head to ask calmly.

Uncle Zhang saw that the two were interested in buying it, so he quickly said, "The lowest price is 280 taels, you've seen it too, girl, my shop is really good, and I didn't ask for a random price."

Dai Qingyun thought about it, and the price was 100 taels less than the wine shop, which was a bit expensive.

"Uncle Zhang, although your shop is good, it only has a small kitchen. If we open the shop, we will have to repair two more rooms, which is not cost-effective." Dai Qingyun blinked innocently, buying things without haggling Not her style.

"Here," Uncle Zhang is also a scholar, not very good at negotiating prices, which is why he didn't take the shop to a dental clinic.

"Uncle Zhang, think about it, if your shop is sold by a dental shop, I don't know how much you will be pressured. If one of us wants to sell it and the other wants to buy it, how about a price of 240 taels." Dai Qingyun looked at Uncle Zhang with a smile. He hesitated, and then said, "And if you sell this shop to me, I guarantee that the business will be clean, and the reputation of selling books here for decades will not be in vain."

When Dai Qingyun saw this uncle, he knew that he had some arrogance as a scholar, so when talking to this kind of person, he had to speak from his heart.

Sure enough, Uncle Zhang was a little moved when he heard that, "That's 260 taels. If you agree, transfer the contract right away."

"250 taels, we'll leave if you don't sell it." Dai Qingyun gave in a step, although [-] taels doesn't sound good, so whoever he is, as long as he can save a little.

"Okay, let's go through the formalities now?" Uncle Zhang gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Okay, just let them go with you for a while." Seeing that he agreed, Dai Qingyun smiled immediately, very well, this is her second shop.

So Li Yun and Dashan followed Uncle Zhang to go through the formalities.

Dai Qingyun looked at the shop in front of him, grinning from ear to ear, "Qin Zhou, what do you think about setting up two long tables here, and a bar here, er, the bar is where ice drinks are made..."

Qin Zhou watched her talking non-stop, couldn't help but also smiled, and followed her to shake the folding fan for her.

Dai Qingyun said that he was a little thirsty. Seeing that Qin Zhou didn't respond, he thought he wasn't paying attention, curled his lips, and couldn't help complaining in his heart, when will this guy change his temper.

"There's a wonton stew across the street, let's go eat some." Dai Qingyun rubbed his stomach, feeling a little hungry.

"Okay." Qin Zhou still cherishes words like gold.

The two closed the shop door and went to the won stew stand opposite.

After ordering a bowl of wonton stew each, Dai Qingyun was satisfied with the meal. Unexpectedly, the wonton stew at the roadside stall tasted pretty good.

Suddenly, Qin Zhou reached out to hold her down, then lowered his head and said softly to her, "Don't look back, I seem to see the pattern."

Dai Qingyun's heart tightened when he heard this, he looked at Qin Zhou, opened his mouth and said silently, the patterns on the sleeves of traffickers?

Qin Zhou nodded.

Behind the two of them, a strong man was wearing coarse cloth clothes, which covered the black robe inside, but the sleeves were accidentally exposed, which happened to be seen by Qin Zhou.

The strong man was holding a woman in revealing rouge and gouache, and headed into South Street.

When they walked away, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you want to report to the government?" Dai Qingyun asked Qin Zhou in a low voice. If these bad guys are not caught for a day, the children here will be more dangerous, not to mention these people who are daring and reckless are swaying in the county!
Uncle can bear it, but aunt can't bear it!
"Don't worry, since he is so leisurely, I don't think anyone will find him." Qin Zhou paid the money and took her back to the shop just now.

"I'll take you back to the wine shop later, and leave the rest to me." The two sat on the stone bench in the yard, and Qin Zhou told her, "The county government hasn't found any clues about them during this time. Now that it is exposed again, they will definitely take action, since the shop is bought, you can go home and wait for my news."

Dai Qingyun was dumbfounded by what he said, and nodded again, a little worried, "However, these people are so tricky, if you are known by them..."

"No, don't worry." Qin Zhou's tone became softer.

The two tacitly agreed not to talk about this matter again. The county government, including the Dai family, knew that only a few people had killed Dai Qingyun. In addition, only the two of them knew about the county government's investigation of the remaining party. In order to reassure the Qin family's Dai family, The two of them have never told their families about the fact that there are still accomplices in the county.

"Qin Zhou, thank you." After a long time, Dai Qingyun said softly.

She obviously disliked him from the very beginning, but she didn't expect the two to be good friends now, the kind of good friends who have a big secret.

Qin Zhou was a little unaccustomed to her polite manner with lowered eyebrows, "Hey, they're back."

Da Shan, Li Yun and Uncle Zhang walked in with a new contract, handed over the keys, and the money and goods were settled.

"I wish you both a prosperous business, hehe, I will rush to Fucheng after the shop is sold." Uncle Zhang said with a smile.

Dai Qingyun read the deed, confirmed it was correct, and said with a smile, "Okay, I wish you a safe journey too."

Dai Qingyun's name was written on the deed, and this was also her second shop.

Dai Qingyun took the key and locked the door, and they immediately went back to the wine shop.

Qin Zhou watched her enter the wine shop, and then asked Dashan to drive to the county government office.
