After rebirth, she just wants to farm

Chapter 40 Looking for a shop

"Thank you for your concern, shopkeeper. I do have some free time. After all, being an accountant is completely overqualified for a talent like me."

"I think Ayan is quite busy. If you really feel free, why not switch with him?" Meng Qingning said expressionlessly.

Gu Chenan: "..."

Did he mean this?

Ayan was so happy when he heard this. He was a good lieutenant and was here wiping tables and sweeping the floor every day. He was really fed up.

He took the rag in his hand and threw it into Gu Chenan's hand.

"Master, this is what the shopkeeper wants."

"You..." Gu Chenan was so angry that his teeth itched.

Recently, Fengmanlou's business has been getting better and better day by day. Song Zhao is beaming with joy every day, and he has recruited another apprentice for himself.

After knowing what happened to Meng Qingning, she immediately became angry and shouted, "This Sun family is so useless!"

Even though he may be a rough guy, his wife Qin Wanzhu is a graceful Jiangnan lady, and she speaks softly.

Only she can control Song Zhao.

With one look, Song Zhao didn't dare to speak.

"Ms. sir," she called out softly, "Be careful of trouble coming from your mouth."

Meng Qingning agreed, "Sister-in-law is right, we don't have the strength to compete with the Sun family now, so we must be careful in everything and try not to expose your relationship with me.

"I won't come to the restaurant for a long time from now on. If anything happens, just send someone to let me know."

She cooperated with Sanxianlou, firstly because with Fengmanlou’s strength, there was currently no way to compete with the Sun family, and secondly, because she did not want to implicate Song Zhao.

I came here today to tell them not to get involved in this matter.

"How can this be done?" Song Zhao refused, "Now is your difficult time, how can I hide just because I'm afraid of trouble?"

Meng Qingning knew that she couldn't make sense, so she immediately gave Qin Wanzhu a wink, and Qin Wanzhu immediately understood.

"Miss Meng means that we should conserve our strength first so that we can help if anything happens in the future."

Song Zhao really listened and said, "Okay, if you need anything, just let us know and we'll be on call."

After explaining, Meng Qingning made an eight-treasure rice, which added yam, poria, dangshen, atractylodes, etc., which has the effect of replenishing qi and strengthening the spleen.

I also made a lotus seed and lily lean meat soup and steamed fish, and then came to Duan's house with a food box.

The Duan Mansion was surprisingly large. Standing at the door, Meng Qingning once again deeply felt the gap between the rich and the poor.

The servant at the door was very polite, as if he had known she would come.

"But Miss Meng Qingning and Meng?"

Meng Qingning nodded, "Exactly, I'm here to see Grandma Xing, please give me some guidance."

Soon she was taken to the living room. When Grandma Xing heard that she was coming, she welcomed her out enthusiastically.

"Girl Meng, please let grandma wait."

Meng Qingning saw that Grandma Xing's health was indeed much better than before, and she couldn't help but be happy for her, "Our home is far away and it's inconvenient to come and go. Don't be surprised."

She has an inexplicable affinity for Grandma Xing.

"Okay, I'll send someone to pick you up next time."

Mr. Duan also had a pleasant look on his face and joked, "Girl Meng has been busy all day. Who can be as free as the two of us?"

Only then did Meng Qingning find out that Grandma Xing's children were all living in Kyoto, and there were only them and a few domestic servants here.

They are also tired of staying in Kyoto, and they are thinking of returning to their hometown to live for a few years when they are getting old.

Meng Qingning handed the food box in her hand to the maid serving Grandma Xing and warned, "The food in here is relatively soft and glutinous. If Grandma wants to eat it, you can warm it up for her."

"You are in luck today." Mr. Duan joked.Grandma Xing took Meng Qingning's hand and looked at her distressedly, "Girl, you must have suffered a lot."

The look in his eyes was completely like that of an elder who felt sorry for his junior, which made Meng Qingning's eyes turn red for a moment.

"In the future, if you have any questions, tell grandma. As for the Sun family, you can rest assured that families like them will get their retribution soon."

Meng Qingning nodded, "Take good care of yourself and don't worry about me."

After coming out of Duan's house, Mr. Duan specially prepared a carriage to take her back. It was already evening when they returned to the town. Thinking that there were only two children at home, they hurried back.

"Is the business deal concluded?" Lu Qinan asked, squeezing his neck.

Although Lu Qiyu hasn't read the book for a few days, he knows a lot of words. Every time he comes back, he has to show off to his family, and he also takes on the job of teaching Lu Qinan.

He said eloquently, "I must have gained something."

Because he saw delicious cakes.

Lu Qinan slapped him on the body, "Speak to me properly."

"Oh." Lu Qiyu felt aggrieved and raised his head and asked, "I see my sister-in-law bought some delicious food. Can we open a store?"

The matter of opening the store was discussed by the family, and the two children also knew about it.

Meng Qingning burst out laughing, "You are observing carefully."

"Tomorrow my father and I will go to the town to find a shop."

"Great!" the two children cheered.

The next day, while Wang stayed at home to take care of her children, Meng Qingning and Lu Zhengting came to the town to look for a shop.

Their shops have relatively high requirements. They must have a facade, a place that can be used as a workshop, and a storage room.

So it is best to have a yard.

They searched almost the entire town, but still couldn't find anything they were satisfied with. When they were about to give up, they happened to see a rental house not far away.

The three facades have a courtyard, which is very large and can be used as a workshop.

As for the three storefronts in front, they can use one to sell sauce, one to sell pancakes, and the rest can be rented out.

But the rent for such a big place is certainly not cheap.

The boss happened to be here, so they came up to talk to him, "Boss, do you want to rent this house?"

"Yes, our family is moving out, and the yard will be free. Do you want to rent it?" The boss looked at them and said, "The shop and the yard can be rented separately."

"Boss, our family wants to do some business in the town and rent out your whole yard. How much do you think is appropriate?"

"All of them?" The boss was a little unconvinced and asked again, "Are you sure you want to rent both the shop and the yard?"

Meng Qingning nodded and said, "Yes, as long as your price is fair, we can rent them all."

After finally meeting the right one, she certainly didn't want to miss it.

"Our yard is relatively large, and there are three shops. The rent is not cheap. Well, I think you sincerely want to rent it, so I won't ask for more. It's five taels of silver a month."

Five taels of silver?

It's really not a small number.

But does this boss really think she is stupid?

She immediately lost her previous enthusiasm, "Boss, to be honest, I've seen all the yards here, but none of them ask for a price like yours. If you don't want to rent, forget it."

Five taels of silver a month, which is 60 taels a year, can buy two houses in their town.

Do you really think they are taken advantage of?
