The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

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 Street near the east side of the city.

The shop on Jiqing Street is the size of two floors and two rooms, with a small courtyard at the back, which is similar to the small restaurant they opened 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 was similar in area to their Children’s Playhouse in Luoshui City, with only one more floor, but it actually had an extra 150 taels of silver!

Just say that the small restaurant in Jiqing Street and Luoshui City are the same size and cost 180 taels, which is a full 60 taels more.

If it weren't for Fucheng, housing prices would be so much higher. You can imagine how it would be in Zhoucheng and Beijing.

But Liu Dong's family can open shops in these places, so we can know the wealth of the richest man in Bingzhou.

You don't need to go to the government office to rent a house. Song Yaren directly calls the landlord, and he does the job. The two parties only need to sign a rental document. If there are any problems at that time, they will go to Song Yaren, the middleman.

He paused and said: "However, I do have two houses in my hands that the owners don't want to sell but only rent—"

Shiliu also knew that houses in Fucheng were hard to come by, so when she heard that they were available for rent, she thought about it and settled for the next best thing, so she 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 be so lucky. The house is even harder to find, and you can't easily get it. If you are interested, I will keep it for you next time I meet you!"

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.

Shiliu rented it for a year first and got the key. Shiliu 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, he would be at the shop during the day, and this place was just for sleeping at night. It was not spacious and not particular, but they were all blue brick buildings.

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 stay in an inn and just spent the night in a shop. It wasn't cold anyway.

It was hard to find a shop, and I finally found one that I liked. If I miss this village, there will be no shop like this. Therefore, Shiliu gritted his teeth and finally did not hesitate and won the shop on Huilong Street for two hundred and 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 kind of apartment 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, then asked the Songya people if there was any house for sale, no matter how good or small it was.

There are 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 is closer, but it is not really a house. It does not even have a decent yard. There is none. There is only a small patio when you open the door, and then there are several rooms surrounding the patio. Fortunately, there are beds inside.

The shop used to be a cloth shop, and the decoration is still new. Now it is 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 yet visited this ancient night market. This city is prosperous, and the night market is naturally as prosperous as a dream. Before it gets completely dark, lanterns are hung everywhere, making the whole street look like a dream. Fantasy.

The various stalls on both sides are dazzling. It is summer, and there are many selling ice drinks. There are ice and snow cold dumplings, iced glutinous rice wine, sweet water bowls, iced sour plum soup, and pomegranate eyes that make your eyes light up. This ancient summer dessert is not inferior to later 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 rock sugar water, chilled with ice cream, it was so cool, I took a spoonful of it into my mouth and felt so comfortable straight away!

The pomegranate was delicious, and she didn’t forget to let her eldest brother eat whatever he wanted. It was a rare occasion, so 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 carried ice drinks and ate while walking. Pomegranate was looking for the next delicacy 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 moment, a person suddenly ran towards me and collided with the pomegranate. Most of the sweet water bowl was knocked over, and it all fell on the pomegranate's chest, making it wet all of a sudden.

Fortunately, even the thin shirt he wore had two layers, otherwise the light would be transmitted through it.

Shiliu was about to see who bumped into her, but saw that the person didn't apologize for bumping into someone, and ran past without stopping at all.

Li Rongzong couldn't help but said: "Who is this? Shiliu, are you okay?"

"fine."

Just as he was talking, a few people from behind ran up, squeezed past the pomegranates, and chased forward, "Stop! Don't run!"

He was obviously chasing the person who hit the pomegranate just now. No wonder the person didn't stop even after hitting someone else. It turned out that there was a dog chasing him from behind.

My clothes were soaked. 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 her clothes before going out to eat. Li Rongzong and the others had already eaten the noodles packed by them, and 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 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 to me like they are searching for someone."

He was fine during the day, so what happened suddenly?
Still having to go door-to-door to investigate, Pomegranate couldn't help but think of the routine she used to watch 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 and started searching without saying a word.

An officer leading the team held a portrait in his hand, "Have you seen the person in the portrait?"
