After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 44 Rent a Shop
Chen's voice was loud and funny, and he attracted many guests in a short while.

Of course, red-eyed people also attracted a lot.

"I said, how dare your family come out to do business? Didn't you say yesterday that your meat is not good, and that you will spoil your stomach if you eat it? You are really young and thick-skinned. You will never do anything good."

Today, it's not the fat aunt who came to find fault, but a lean and lean woman.

But also because of his thinness, he looks like a monkey with a sharp mouth, and there is no flesh on his face.

Su Xiaomu and Yin's words were not pleasant to their ears, but they were not in a hurry to speak out.

Well, a great master came today, and she wanted to see how the great master cursed people.

Sure enough, Mrs. Chen quit after hearing her words.

Then she rolled her eyes impatiently, and then called Yin Shi over to make cakes for the guests. She wiped the white flour on the apron around her body, put it on her waist, and started yelling.

"I thought it was some great person who came up and said that there was something wrong with other people's meat.

, I also find it strange, you said you have eaten meat since you grew up?

It is said that other people's meat is bad. Look at you, you don't have any meat, and you don't seem to have such a good fortune. "

Mrs. Chen yelled at the thin woman, she spoke harshly, she really didn't save the thin woman any face.

: "Don't say I look down on you, our meat is definitely bought from the freshest pork shop in the city, does the pork shop know?"

"It's a place that specializes in selling meat. You don't know if you think about it. Why don't you go and have a look with us after we close the stall later. Don't say that we won't show you to the world."

Chapter 50: Renting a Shop

Su Xiaomu had a great time watching Chen's scolding from the side.

Her second sister-in-law is really awesome, she is not afraid of losing by scolding several times by herself.

Especially the skinny woman in the lead, whose face turns green and white after being scolded by Mrs. Chen.

, Su Xiaomu substituted her in, tsk, if there were no gaps in the street, she would have wanted to get in and say goodbye to this world first.

To drive away those who intentionally make trouble, they also attracted many guests with this trick.

It didn't take long for the food in the shop to be sold out.

But yesterday Su Xiaomu was afraid that the business would not be good today, so he didn't make many buns and eggs, so the money he earned was only eight hundred Wen and a tael of silver.

She and Yin Shi gradually put all the things on the cart, and after tidying up, they took Li Shi to the yard they were looking forward to.

"Three taels of silver a month. The boss and I have already agreed. If the lady thinks the location is good, we can go to the yamen to write the deed."

This deed should be equivalent to a modern contract. It has the legal effect recognized by this era when it is stamped and signed by the government.

"Well, mother, you have to take a good look."

Mrs. Li agreed, and she looked at the road they took calmly.

There are indeed no shops selling food along the road, but there are not many people passing by.

Well, they are here to do business, although there will be no one competing with them for a while.

, but with so few customers, it is not easy to make money.

The boss has been waiting for Su Xiaomu in the shop for a long time.

, he stood at the door, and as soon as he saw them arriving, he quickly yelled: "I said sister, you came here on time, it's neither early nor late, but let me wait."

"It's not that the work at the market has just finished. Besides, the boss said that it's better to come early than to come early. I'm not late."

Su Xiaomu helped Mrs. Li into the shop.

, Chen Shi and Yin Shi followed behind and watched, Chen Shi's eyes widened when he looked at the shop.

: "I said Xiaomu, the shop you brought us here is not as grand as the two shops just now. Why is the price a little more expensive than the previous two shops?"

Chen's eyes rolled, she looked at the boss and said: "Boss, you don't think my sister is young, so you deliberately deceive her?"

"How can this be? My price is already very conscientious. Don't tell me, there is absolutely no shop with a lower price than my house on this street."

The boss got a little excited when he said this.

, He stretched out his arms and gestured towards the shop a few times: "Look at the tables, chairs and benches in my shop, if our business is completed, I can sell them to you at a low price.

Besides, there is a yard behind my shop, but if you want to rent the yard together, you will have to pay me two taels of silver more. "

The boss originally didn't want to rent out the yard behind the shop, but after thinking about it carefully, if they used this shop for food business, it would not be convenient for him to live here.

It's not as cost-effective as renting out all at once.

"You still have a yard here?"

Mrs. Li didn't take a fancy to this shop at first, but when she heard that he had a courtyard, her mind moved: "Can we go and have a look?"

"Of course, but we have to make an agreement first, if you really want to rent it.

, Three taels of silver for renting a shop, one or two taels of silver for renting a yard, four or five taels at a time, I don’t bother to bargain. "

The boss took out the key from his pocket and went to open the door for them. Su Xiaomu followed Li Shi, supporting her without saying a word.

Anyway, she can see now that the Li family will most likely rent this shop today.

But it's hard to say whether she is looking at this shop or the yard behind the shop.

After the boss opened the door, they all looked at the yard seriously.

To be honest, this yard is not very big, but although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

There are two sleeping rooms in it, and there is a well in the middle of the yard, which also solves the problem of their cooking waste water.

In this way, five or four taels of silver for this whole set is not expensive, and it can even be said that they picked up a great bargain.

"Okay, four or five taels of silver is four or five taels of silver. Let's rent it for three and a half months."

Mrs. Li is satisfied with looking at the yard, and even more satisfied with paying the money.

It's just that she was so generous, she really stunned the three daughters-in-law who followed.

Su Xiaomu looked at Yin's, and then at Chen's.

There was great doubt in her big eyes.

Didn't it mean that the family was too poor to get rid of the pot before she came?

Didn't you say that all the money was used to buy her a daughter-in-law?

How come Mrs. Li can still get 30 taels of silver now?

Su Xiaomu was puzzled, neither were Chen Shi and Yin Shi, and when they came out of the yamen and looked at the lease certificate clutched in Li Shi's hand, their doubts reached their peak.

But no one dared to ask, after all, Mrs. Li was the one with the most right to speak in this family.

On the way home, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Yin pushed the cart, while Mrs. Li dragged Su Xiaomu to talk to her.

"Xiaomu, mother paid half a year's rent this time, on the one hand, she believes that you can make money renting this shop, and it will be a matter of time before you get back the money.

, on the other hand, I want you to be fine and communicate with Jingcheng well.

, both of you have arrived in the city, but you can no longer stay silent at home like before. "

Mrs. Li grabbed Su Xiaomu's hand, and said earnestly to her: "You two are husband and wife, after being married for so long, you can't always get along like strangers.

Well, if Jingcheng has time to study in the academy on weekdays, you can also ask him to sleep in the shop. It doesn't matter if he doesn't come back this night. "

It doesn't matter if you come back or not?
Does her mother-in-law know what she is talking about?

With the current situation of her and Gu Jingcheng, let alone inviting him to the shop to sleep, even if you usually invite him to dinner, it may not be so easy to invite him.

But in front of Mrs. Li, Su Xiaomu didn't dare to answer like this, she smiled and turned the topic to making money: "Yes, what mother said is right, I will take good care of my husband, and send him any delicious food first. "

"Speaking of which, my mother is worthy of being a mother. She has the courage to do everything. If you have a mother in our family's business, you are always watching, are you afraid that you can't do it well? Now there are shops and yards, and the money is short."

Su Xiaomu's flattering to Mrs. Li has already gained a lot of experience. Sure enough, Mrs. Li laughed and scolded after hearing her speech: "Stop talking to your mother, if you don't do well in business, you will pay for it, mother will not be so easy Let you go."

The white flowers are all silver, and if the 30 taels of silver go out, there is not much money left in their family.

However, Su Xiaomu still felt reliable in doing business.

If everything goes well, the 30 taels can be earned back in a month at most.

"Look, Mother doesn't talk that much when she's with us, it's only when she meets the third uncle's wife that she has so many good looks."

Mrs. Chen was pushing the cart behind, full of complaints.
