Chapter Ninety-Eight: Leasing a Shop

"This brother, where is the nearest tooth shop from here?"

On the lively streets of Qing'an Fucheng, a handsome scholar stopped a passing man, bowed his hand, and then smiled and spoke. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The man bowed back and said with a smile: "Walk straight ahead for about half a mile, cross one street, turn left again, cross two streets, and you will see a fang market." ”

"Then the tooth shop is in the middle of the market?" The handsome scholar looked at him and asked.

"No, no, there are a lot of people in Fang City, Brother Tai is looking for someone to ask again, someone should know where Yaxing is." The man smiled and turned away with a nonchalant expression.

"Hehe......" Looking at the other party's departing back, Li Yi pulled a smile on his face, and there seemed to be ten thousand horses galloping in his heart.

Not in a hurry to ask Yaxing, all the way down from the mountain, he was also a little tired, rested for a while at a tea stall on the street, thinking in his heart, when do you have to buy a carriage to travel, between Liuye Village and Qing'an Fucheng, back and forth more than 20 miles of mountain road, just by walking, just on the road will have to be delayed for more than an hour.

However, it seems that it is useless to buy a carriage, and in some places the mountain roads are rugged and the traffic is inconvenient, and the carriage cannot pass......

No wonder before he came, Liuyezhai was so poor, he didn't even understand the truth of "if you want to get rich, build a road first", guarding a few acres of barren land, and living an isolated life for decades, it is strange that you can get rich.

drank a cup of tea to quench his thirst, and asked the owner of the tea stall by the way, but he didn't expect the other party to really know where the tooth line was, and he enthusiastically pointed out the direction for Li Yi.

In this era, the tooth shop is equivalent to the 58 city in later generations, renting a house, buying and selling maids and servants, etc. are all within the business scope of the tooth shop.

In the dental shop, there is no need to worry about encountering black intermediaries, because all the tooth people are registered by the government and work with certificates.

According to the guidance of the tea stall owner, Li Yi quickly found the location of the tooth shop.

As soon as he entered the gate, several people surrounded him.

"Childe, do you want to rent a house or buy a maid?"

"Childe, I grew up in Fucheng and am very familiar with this place, no matter what requirements you have, I am sure to satisfy you!"

"Childe ......"

The guys in Yaxing were all enthusiastic, and this scene was a little similar to the last time Li Xuan took him to the Qinglou.

However, it is no wonder that they are so enthusiastic, do this line of work, earn more and earn less, it all depends on the performance, what the guests want to consult here, they have to pay a certain fee, their wages are drawn from this, and the more guests they recruit, the more their commission will naturally be.

If you meet a little more generous, as long as the guests are satisfied, the reward is naturally indispensable, the son in front of him looks extraordinary, presumably will be a big customer, these tooth people have been dealing with all kinds of people for many years, and the kung fu of seeing people is still not bad.

Li Yi picked a guy who looked a little smarter, and the faces of the other people couldn't help showing disappointment, but they could only retreat helplessly.

"Childe, what do you need, even if you are told, the small one will definitely satisfy you!" The guy rubbed his hands together and said with a smile on his face.

"I need to rent a shop in Fucheng, a good size, preferably in a busy area, I don't know how much the rent is here?" Li Yi didn't go around the bend with him, and said straight to the point.

This guy was obviously very familiar with this, and said without thinking: "If it is an ordinary location, the rent of an ordinary shop is about one hundred taels, and if the son wants to build a shop in a prosperous area, I am afraid that it will cost at least three hundred taels of silver." ”

This price is not much different from what Li Yi expected.

However, three hundred taels of silver is not a small amount in the end, and after the shop is settled, it will definitely have to be renovated, not to mention that it will cost dozens of taels, so that there will not be enough money to buy the raw materials for making Ruyi Lu.

"Three hundred taels of silver, but it's a little expensive......" Li Yi smiled, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, and put it on the table in front of the guy.

The broken silver is about one or two, the guy saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up, his sleeves were silently swept on the table, and the silver disappeared, and then looked at Li Yishi, the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Childe is looking for the right person this time, the small one just knows that there is a shop in a prosperous area that is eager to sell, and the price is about two percent lower than the market price, if the son is interested, the small one will take the son to see it immediately!"

Facts have proved that money can make ghosts grind, this sentence is common in ancient and modern times.

Most things in the world can be solved with money, and if you can't, it means that the money you gave is not enough.

One or two silvers can make the guy's attitude extremely enthusiastic, and he immediately took Li Yi to see the shop.

The location of the shop is good, just on the main street of Qing'an City, outside is the street where people come and go, the shop is about three zhang long, about two zhang wide, and the space is spacious.

What's more, there is a small courtyard and two rooms behind the shop, and according to the guy, the family who used to do business here moved to Kyoto after the business became bigger, and the shop here was idle.

However, the shop here is located in the bustling area of Fucheng, and if it is so empty, it will be too wasteful, so I asked the tooth shop to help them sublease it, because the other party is in a hurry, and the rent is much lower.

As for the courtyard and house behind the store, they were also given away for free.

After looking at the shop and the courtyard of the room at the back, Li Yi felt a little unsteady in his heart.

It is less than three hundred taels to rent such a place, which is almost no different from pie in the sky......

He looked at the guy in the tooth shop with some suspicion and asked, "Tell me honestly, is there anything wrong with this shop, there has been a murder...... Or is it haunted? ”

When the guy heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Childe, this is wronged by the little one, what the little one said, every sentence is true, there is no half a sentence to hide, if the son does not believe it, you can ask around......"

This guy was bitter in his heart at this time, one or two pieces of silver was almost worth a month's salary, if it weren't for the fact that this son was so generous just now, such a good thing, he would definitely not say it so easily.

"Forget it, forget it......" Li Yi waved his hand, if there is really a problem here, the tooth shop will not accept such a hot potato, and besides, you must be upright, don't suspect others casually if you have nothing to do......

At this time, from the cloth village next door, a fat man with a rich body walked out, Li Yi saw this, and hurriedly walked up.

"I don't know my brother's surname, but this cloth shopkeeper?"

The fat man nodded, and looked at Li Yi suspiciously: "Your surname is Xu, what's the matter with you?" ”

"Shopkeeper Xu has been here for a long time, have you heard of the shop next door...... Haunted? ”

The guy from the tooth shop had just walked out of the store, and when he heard this, his body couldn't help but stumble and almost fell......
