MTL - Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang-Chapter 50
"Panpu noodles?" Zhang Fangyuan saw the sweat on his daughter-in-law's forehead and wiped it for him, and then he learned of his plan. He didn't even think about it: "Okay."
"You promised to be so straightforward?"
Xu He thought that Zhang Fangyuan would at least think it over and procrastinate, but unexpectedly he agreed immediately.
Zhang Fangyuan couldn't help but laugh. He actually didn't want Xu He to set up a stall on Tianjie every day. It was like roasting sweet potatoes in the stove every day.
Although the stall at the other end has a shade cloth, it can’t cover everything. Unlike the meat market, the roof is completely covered, so there is no sunlight, and it is ventilated on all sides. It is better than going out to set up a stall. It's much cooler.
Knowing that he couldn't persuade Xu He to go out to make money, and he was annoyed by the other vendors over there these days, it was even more difficult to speak. At present, he himself proposes to set up a store, which is the best.
"Didn't you tell me a long time ago that you wanted to open a restaurant? I agreed."
Xu He pursed his lips, feeling a little happy in his heart, he took the cattail fan and fanned it: "Then let's go to the shop together?"
"Okay, I'll go in the afternoon."
Although Siyang City is only a county seat, far from being comparable to Fucheng, the location of the county seat is good, facing Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River in front, and Fucheng at the back, and there are many famous people in the county.
I have been to Tanhualang, and there is an old grand teacher who escaped from the world and returned to his hometown...and there is also the world-famous Qianshan Academy. This dynasty attaches great importance to imperial examinations. It can be regarded as a densely populated county with a wide county.
There are countless long streets and narrow alleys, and it is common for newcomers to get lost.
Xu He has almost never eaten in restaurants in the city. Although he has been in the city for business for a few months, he always brings his own meals. The only restaurant he goes to is the daily hot restaurant. meal restaurant. For this reason, I am not very familiar with which markets have more restaurants and which ones taste good, and I still have to find out the rent prices of shops.
These are not difficult for Zhang Fangyuan, who can take Xu He to walk through all the alleys and streets in one afternoon, and look at the shops that can be rented. shop confidence.
The rent of shops in the city is really not comparable to that of small stalls. I just asked about it casually, but a shop the size of a utility room at home costs 2,000 Wen a month in rent. And the location is not good, the front is not close to the street, and the back is not in the dilapidated old alleys of Linmin Lane. The old ladies who live in the city on weekdays are those who live frugally.
Naturally, there are bad ones and good ones, and the shops on the four main streets in the city are very good. Not only are there a lot of people, but the shops are also large, wide and ventilated by the river, and there is also a lot of open space outside.
At that time, when the dishes are noisy and the wind blows, the guests will come along with the scent, and tables can be placed outside to accommodate more guests.
Xu He is very satisfied with the shopfronts on the main street, but unfortunately the minimum rent in January is tens of thousands of yuan. He was stunned when he heard that, farmers may not be able to save so much money after working for a few years, these lands cost so much money just for rent, it is really not affordable for people like them.
Apart from the good ones and the worst ones, there are also shops in the middle alleys, some of which are close to the main street, but most of them are close to a private alley, and the flow of people is acceptable. But the rent is not low, fluctuating around 5,000 Wen.
Xu He whimpered: "How can it be so expensive?"
Zhang Fangyuan patted Xu He's head, and said, "The rent was not so high in the past two years, but life is peaceful and there are more people in the city, so it makes sense that the rent of shops will increase."
Xu He sighed and counted with his fingers. In addition to the big rent, the ingredients in the restaurant are a huge expense. Although there are varieties in the village, they are in the city after all, so they have to be transported every day, and the store is opened every quarter. Pay high taxes...
He didn't even calculate it in detail, he just made a simple calculation, the expenses were like running water, and there was no guarantee that the business would be good.
"In this way, it's better to set up a stall."
"Three hundred and sixty lines, it's not easy to do it. Setting up a stall has its advantages, and running a shop has its own advantages. If all of them are disadvantages, then there must be no one to do it."
Xu He understands these principles, and since they exist, there must be suitable people for him to do them. If they feel difficult now, it means that they are not suitable for their current situation.
"Now I have about 10,000 Wen saved on hand. It's still not enough to ask for a shop."
Zhang Fangyuan hasn't counted how much money he has since handing over the money to Xu Heguan. Hearing him talk about it now, I'm a little surprised. He has saved so much in just two months. After all, he still saves so much. Use some to save money. It is really useful to leave it to the daughter-in-law to take care of the house.
"If it's really not enough, let's borrow some from the bank?"
Xu He immediately shook his head: "The bank's interest is high, so it's not safe to do business. If you lose money, what will you give back to the bank. It's better to be safe."
A one-time rent for a shop has to be paid for a quarter. In the early stage of the shop, tables, chairs, benches, pots, stoves and bowls have to be purchased, and the ingredients have to be carried on their backs.
Not only that, but Zhang Fangyuan also needs money to turn around to buy livestock. Now that he has managed to gain a reputation, it will be ugly to buy livestock on credit in the future, and the common people will not want to ask them to sell livestock because of this.
If you want to borrow money to open a restaurant, it is estimated that the borrowed amount is not a small sum.
Xu He thought about it, but he was impulsive. After watching the market quotations, he was much more sober.
Zhang Fangyuan pulled the reins, looked at the man in a daze, and couldn't help saying: "If I had saved more money before and didn't spend it carelessly, I wouldn't let you down so much today."
Xu He came back to his senses after hearing the words, and quickly said: "I am not disappointed, you have done a good job. If we don't have enough money, let's save more. Looking at the village, how many families can save as much money as you in three to two months .”
He was a little anxious, he spoke quickly, and said a lot, but when he closed his mouth, he didn't know what he said. But he really didn't want Zhang Fangyuan to feel that he was incapable of running the shop, and he could only blame himself for thinking about it.
Zhang Fangyuan's eyes softened, he responded, and said, "I'll take you somewhere."
The two walked along the official road all the way, and did not go down the branch road in Jijiu Village. They continued down the official road, and after walking for about a stick of incense, Zhang Fangyuan stopped the horse on a big banyan tree Down.
Xu He seldom left the boundary of Jijiu Village. When he came out, he went straight to the city, and almost never went in the opposite direction. When he came here, he found a large open space with old banyan trees covering the sky. It can be shaded and cool when the sun is very strong at noon.
He jumped out of the carriage and walked back and forth. Except for the main official road, there were also bifurcated roads on the left and right. Xu He couldn't recognize what was written on the road sign, so he said: "I'm afraid that during the day when the sun is bright, there are many roads. Those who pass by will rest here to enjoy the cool air.”
"Yes. There is a Guanyin Temple twenty miles away from here. Our village is to the east, and Zaojiao village is to the west. The most important thing is that it takes more than two hours to go from the official road to the east by express horse, and to the west to Suzhou. , that’s a long way, two days’ journey.”
Xu He looked at the road, and he knew the lower realm, but he was not stupid enough to think that Zhang Fangyuan brought him here to know the way.
"I have been here many times before, and I often see people enjoying the cool air here. If you see that this place is nice, you can also consider building a tea shed. At that time, passers-by will be the flow of customers, and there is nothing wrong with eating and drinking tea. "
Zhang Fangyuan leaned on the cart: "Naturally, this place is not as bustling and crowded as in the city. It is definitely not as interesting as opening a restaurant in the city, but there are many choices."
Xu He's eyes lit up, if he opened a tea shed here, he would be able to receive guests. Although there are not as many guests as in the city, there are also few competitors here.
Furthermore, the tea shed can be built by itself, it doesn’t need to be very good to keep out the wind and rain, and it can be used frequently after it is built, and there is no need to pay rent. The ingredients and vegetables can be picked directly from the village on the same day, and the left and right are not far away.
Once Xu He made the calculations, it was really a lot of money.
"Why is there no one here to do business?"
Zhang Fangyuan said: "Yes, some villagers don't want to go to the city when going to the market, so they set up a small stall here to barter things. When the temple fair is busy, some people come here to set up a stall for a day Selling porridge and rice. It’s just that these don’t come to make a living every day, ordinary villagers have no skills and money, and landlords don’t like small profits, so they are empty.”
He remembered that the government's inn seemed to have been built here, but that was a few years later. If they built a shed here and the government came to tear it down, they would have to pay some money, and there would be no loss. And it may not necessarily be demolished, because there are tea sheds and small restaurants next to some post stations.
If you don't want to go to the city wholeheartedly, this place is a very good choice, but it mainly depends on Xu He's wishes, he will follow him.
After all, Master Xu can run a restaurant.
"Okay, I think it's great! If there is only such a place, you don't have to spend an afternoon looking at the shops in the city."
Xu He was happy again. There were no post stations and tea sheds around them, and they only heard it mentioned by the shopkeepers traveling around in the village.
Seeing him happy, Zhang Fangyuan couldn't help laughing: "In that case, I'll go up the mountain and cut down trees to build a tea shed when I get back from the stall. Then I'll spend some money, and I can find two strong men in the village casually. can be built."
Xu He nodded in agreement, already thinking about which shop in the city would be more cost-effective to buy pots and pans.
After returning home, he allocated 3,000 yuan, one for buying kitchen utensils, and the other for Zhang Fangyuan to ask someone to help build a tea shed. It is not expensive to hire people in the village, fifty or sixty cash can get someone to work for a whole day, fifty packs of rice, and sixty for yourself.
Zhang Fangyuan called Chen Si and his brother, two or three were more than enough.
The tea shed only needs to be able to shelter from the wind and rain. It is not as troublesome as a self-occupied house, which is divided into a room and a bedroom. The tea shed only needs to separate the kitchen stove from the dining area.
Zhang Fangyuan's land only takes up a quarter of the resting place here, and the rest of the place is still reserved for the people who used to rest and set up stalls. If all the land is occupied, some people will feel dissatisfied and make trouble.
Seeing Zhang Fangyuan dragging firewood out of the village early in the morning, the villagers wondered, "Go to the woodyard to sell wood? Don't you want to set up a stall for business?"
