The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 96

The Chinese way of life is to build relationships.There are officialdoms in the officialdom, and there are shopping malls in the shopping malls. Even daily life has its rules.

Fang Yumin is no stranger to this. In her previous life, she was able to get along in the mall, so she naturally has her means.Even if she crossed over to Linjia Village and became a village girl, there were still differences between people in the village.Fang Yumin knows who can help and what can help.However, she still insists on one principle, that is, to pay attention to mutual benefit when entrusting people to do things, so that there will be a next time.

Shopkeeper Jin introduced Fang Yumin to Fang Yumin, who was a decent dental worker and bought the house.Fang Yumin also helped shopkeeper Jin complete the transaction of dried fish and fresh fish with Dabao's father.

Today, the Yabao surnamed Ren took Fang Yumin's place and noticed that a small two-story building was going to be put up for sale in the eastern district where there are many restaurants, so he immediately came over to ask Fang Yumin to see if the shop was suitable.

Fang Yumin and Lin Qiulai followed Yabao to see the shop, and she looked around carefully.It was lunch time at this time, and there were many people who came here to eat, and it was very lively.Whether it is a restaurant or a snack bar, it is full of seats.

"Brother Ren, there are a lot of people here. Opening a restaurant or snack shop here will definitely make a lot of money. Why does the owner want to sell his shop?" Fang Yumin raised her eyebrows in doubt.

"Madam, it's very lively here. I don't know if you've noticed that, except for the restaurant, which is a two-story building, the snack bar is just a one-story building." The dental worker stopped and explained to Fang Yumin: "The snack bars are all for sale. One shop is enough for normal eating. No matter how big the possibility of losing money is, it can’t take care of it. As for why the shop owner wants to sell the shop? Madam, there are two famous restaurants in the east and west of Nantou County , The restaurant of Shopkeeper Jin in the East District is also doing quite well. Everyone will go there if they want to have dinner and banquet. This place is mainly small restaurants. Everyone comes here just to eat something simple. The owner runs a restaurant here. Dismal."

Fang Yumin blinked: "Oh? Is that so."

"Go and have a look? If it's not suitable, I'll pay attention to the others." The dental care worker asked Fang Yumin.

Fang Yumin nodded: "Okay, Brother Ren, you can lead the way."

Lin Qiulai didn't speak all the time, Fang Yumin was more knowledgeable and thoughtful about these matters than him.He just took the lady's hand and followed Ya Bao while carefully looking at the surrounding environment as he walked.

Walking through the bustling main street and turning a corner into an alley, it was immediately quieter.

"This is it." Yabao pointed to the two-story building at the corner and said, "The owner has redecorated it after it was sold, and the inside is quite new."

Fang Yumin raised her head and looked at this small building, which was the same as the buildings in this county, an ordinary small green building.Turning around and looking around, there are very few people here, and there are some snack shops near the small building, but those shops are much deserted compared to the main street, and only half of the customers are seated in the shop during meal time, or even more. few.It really is a geographical location problem!
Chinese people like to join in the fun, and they gather wherever there is excitement, and they will not come here if it is not lively.So it became more and more deserted, and finally the shopkeeper couldn't stand it anymore and gave up, right?
"Would you like to go in and have a look?" The dental guard surnamed Ren observed Fang Yumin's expression from time to time. He didn't want to recommend this small building to Lin Qiulai and his wife at first because of the relationship with the shopkeeper Jin, but the small building on the second floor was hard to find. Fang Yumin It must have two floors. In the end, he bargained with the owner first before bringing Lin Qiulai and his wife over to see it.

"Okay." Fang Yumin still likes this place quite a lot. If the offer is settled, she plans to open another sauce trading office in this alley.

Yabao took out the key and opened the door, leading Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin into the small building.

The place is quite big, and the layout inside is the model of a restaurant: square tables and long benches.There is a staircase on the left wall, leading to the second floor, the layout is still the same as the first floor: square table, long bench.

There is a passage in the middle of the first floor leading to the kitchen and the backyard.There are six stoves in the kitchen, and a table in the middle made of clay, covered with a thick wooden board.There is a wooden shelf above the table with iron hooks hanging on it, probably for meat fishing.Chopping boards, kitchen knives, etc. are on the long table.Ladles, pots, plates and the like are placed on another wooden kitchen cabinet.

In the middle of the backyard is a well, and on the left is a row of houses with four rooms.On the other side, there are bamboo and wooden cages and a pool.The firewood room is very large, and there are a lot of firewood and charcoal in it.

Fang Yumin was very satisfied in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. Although this dental insurance is real, who doesn't want to make more commissions?So she frowned slightly and said to the dental worker in embarrassment: "Brother Ren, this place is quite new, but the location is not good."

"The location is not very good, but the owner only wants this price." The toothbrush stretched out his thumb and index finger.

"The price is too expensive." Fang Yumin sighed, "It's not very profitable to cook food, and if there are fewer customers, you will lose money."

Yabao was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he still encouraged the salesman with a three-inch tongue: "The location is not very good, but the two-story building is not easy to find. Madam, look, these tables and chairs are still very new."

"It's quite new, but it's not necessarily useful. If I sell it and then display it like this, I probably have to ask Brother Ren to sell it." Fang Yumin raised his eyes to Yabao: "If the price is lower, maybe we will buy it again." consider."

The dental worker frowned, and said with a painful face, "I negotiated with the shopkeeper for this price. When he offered it, it was more than this price."

Indeed, more than this price!Fang Yumin turned around in her mind a few times, but she knew that the price could be reduced further.This location may not be good for other people who want to open a restaurant, but for Fang Yumin, it is a good location.

So Fang Yumin didn't speak anymore, just looked at Yabao, and watched Little Brother Ren struggling in his heart.

"Brother Ren, if you lower the price and sell it to us, you can still earn a commission; if you don't sell it, you have to find another buyer. This building..." Lin Qiulai wiped the table with his index finger , Said: "I guess it has been lost for a while, if someone bought it, he would have bought it long ago? Brother Ren, why don't you make this money before the Chinese New Year?"

Yabao looked at this and then that, he thought Fang Yumin was difficult to deal with, but who knew that Lin Qiulai was not a vegetarian either.Thinking about the possibility of dealing with each other in the future, he gritted his teeth: "65 taels."

"60 taels full package."

"Ah? All inclusive?" Yabao's eyes widened, wouldn't he even give him some minced meat?
"Brother Ren, I believe you can lower the price to 50 taels with the shopkeeper." Fang Yumin said with a smile: "If the deal is for 50 taels, you can only get five taels of silver at most. If you sell it to me for 60 taels , help me get everything done with the land deed documents, and the ten taels of silver will go into your pocket smoothly, isn't that better?"

The toothpao was stunned, because he really lowered the price to 50 taels with the shopkeeper!
Fang Yumin looked at Yabao and smiled: "If we buy some slaves in the future, don't we have to trouble brother Ren? Let's reciprocate and benefit each other. Brother Ren has a wide range of people and is quick to do things. He was introduced to us by shopkeeper Jin. Naturally, I have a lot of trust in my little brother. If there is anything in the future, I don’t want to entrust it to others, and we are most at ease entrusting it to little brother Ren.”

"Uh……"

"How about it? If little brother Ren can decide, then let's pay the money and complete the procedures today." Fang Yumin said with a smile.

The toothpain had a toothache, "...Okay, just 60 taels!"

Fang Yumin still likes this way of spending some money to get things done. If she wants to go to the county government to pay the money in person, doesn't she have to spend money to take care of everything?It is better to let someone who is familiar with the various procedures do it.

Yabao rolled his eyes and asked Fang Yumin with a smile, "Madam, did you just say you wanted to buy a servant?"

Fang Yumin smiled and nodded: "Yes. This store has also been sold, and it will open when it is cleaned up. It will need some manpower to do things."

The toothbender hurriedly said, "Ma'am, there are many people to choose from in winter. Don't wait until the Chinese New Year. Once the Chinese New Year is over, the rest will be crooked melons and red dates."

"Oh?" Fang Yumin asked strangely, "Why?"

"Hey, winter is here, and many poor families can't support so many children, so they can only sell them for the New Year." Yabao sighed.Although he is not a human trafficker, the slave trade stipulates that Yabao should be the intermediary, so that the government can also benefit from commissions for every sale.

Fang Yumin felt very uncomfortable when she heard that.The so-called "year-end" is like this. The poor can't even take care of food and clothing, and they have to sell their children after the new year.

"Then... what's the price?" Fang Yumin was really embarrassed to ask this question!

"It's usually 15 taels of silver if it's good-looking and smart. But if it's a girl, and it's between eight and 12 years old, it's a bit more expensive, 20 taels of silver. If it's average-looking but with healthy limbs and no diseases, it's 10 taels of silver." Two denarii. Men and women pay the same price."

Are they all children?It is estimated that the main sales targets are wealthy and big households. Boys and girls can just be trained to be servants and servants.

"Approximately how old are these children?"

"Six to 14 years old."

it is as expected!Fang Yumin sighed inwardly, but still said to the toothbender: "At that time, please help us to pay attention to it. It is estimated that we need six boys and two girls, and the girls must know needlework. Around twelve is the best. We will talk about it when we meet someone." .”

The toothbrush had a smile on his face: "Good lady."

Fang Yumin shook her head, this sale and adoption are two different things.Adoption may seem self-evident, but buy?My heart is always strange.But since the children could no longer live in their own home, but they bought them back to work at home, she and Qiulai would not treat them badly.

The matter was settled like this, Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin went back to the Confucian Garden together.

Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang have already settled down in the Confucian Garden, and their self-care ability is much stronger than Fang Yumin imagined.

At the beginning, Lin Qiulai was still very worried about leaving his two sons alone in the Confucian Garden. He wanted to tell Fang Yumin several times but couldn't.He knew that Fang Yumin did this for Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang's benefit, but knowing it was one thing, but worrying was another.

Why isn't Fang Yumin worried, but boys are different from girls, they must learn to face and solve life problems on their own.Especially Xiao Ming, Fang Yumin felt that Xiao Ming's personality was a little softer, which was innate, and he could only improve it the day after tomorrow.Fang Yumin was not worried about Xiao Yang at all, he was a very strong and determined child, and after going through floods and family ruin, Fang Yumin was at ease with him guiding Xiao Ming by his side.

It is said that they are self-reliant, but in fact, Fang Yumin and Lin Qiulai come to see how they are doing after Xiaoming and Xiaoyang live in.

It turned out that these two children were more sensible and well-behaved than in Linjiacun.Not only do I study automatically and consciously every day, but I also clean the house very clean.

Because he has to cook by himself every day, Xiao Yang's cooking skills have also improved a lot, and he cooks delicious food for Xiao Ming in different ways.Without adults, the two children had a high degree of freedom and had a very happy time.Every day when I was tired from studying, I climbed up the persimmon tree, picked some persimmons and piled them in the ear room. When my father and mother came over, I ate them together, or brought some for Xiaohua and Taohua.

The lives of the sons are very regular, and Fang Yumin feels ashamed.Flipping through the eloquent articles and calligraphy with names and dates written on them, Fang Yumin once again felt that it was really wrong for her to not get married and have children in her previous life. The children are so good, why are they so obedient!
