Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space
Chapter 56 Prices at the Pier
"Auntie, please give me a bowl of plain noodles." Li Mingxia didn't know what was available. He glanced at the people at the next table who were eating plain noodles, so he ordered a bowl of plain noodles too.
"Okay! A bowl of plain noodles. Do you want anything else? We have pickles and other things here." The woman saw that the clothes Li Mingxia was wearing were made of fine cotton cloth, so she asked one more question, thinking that the more money she could make, the better.
Li Mingxia shook his head. "One bowl of noodles is enough."
She might not be used to the food outside, and she wasn't particularly hungry, so it would be enough to fill her stomach.
The woman agreed and quickly brought over Li Mingxia's Yangchun noodles.
The soup base is just clear water, the noodles are not chewy enough, there are no vegetables, and the taste is just salty at best. However, even with this, there is still a constant stream of people coming to eat the noodles.
Although it was not delicious, Li Mingxia did not want to waste food, so he went to pay the bill after eating the last bite of noodles.
"Twelve cents."
Li Mingxia widened his eyes slightly, somewhat surprised that this bowl of almost tasteless noodle soup cost twelve cents?
But she didn't say much. Everyone had the same price and they were not trying to rip her off. She could only blame herself for eating without asking the price.
After paying the money, Li Mingxia walked towards the place with the words "Dock Manager's Office" written on it.
The house was not big. Li Mingxia knocked on the door and a voice came from inside.
"Who is it? Come in."
As soon as he entered, he saw a young man in a long gown sitting behind a table drinking tea. He looked at Li Mingxia and after confirming that it was a stranger, he asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Mingxia didn't waste any time and stated the purpose of this trip.
"Sir, I want to set up a stall on the dock to sell food. I don't know what the rules are here, so I came here to ask for your advice."
He Changan looked at the woman in front of him with some surprise, "Doing food business? Where is your parents? You seem to be unmarried, how come——"
He Changan didn't finish his words, but Li Mingxia knew what he meant, so she smiled and said, "Life is hard, how can we care about these things? Besides, looking back, although there are few unmarried people doing business, there are some. Since they make money with their own abilities, they can do whatever the law allows."
This statement was novel. He Changan nodded and said, "Yes, that makes sense. Since you said you are in the food business, can you be the head of your own family?"
He didn't want to talk and end up wasting his energy.
Li Mingxia nodded, "Of course, please tell me, sir."
He Changan pointed to a chair on the side and asked Li Mingxia to sit down and talk. Li Mingxia didn't pretend. No one knew how many rules there were, or whether they were complicated. It was naturally much easier to sit than to stand.
"You came at the right time. Last month, a stall was closed because of family matters, so a spot was vacated."
Li Mingxia raised his eyebrows after hearing this. It turned out that this stall had a quantity control. His luck was really good.
"Ten taels of silver as a deposit, which will be returned to you two months later when the dock is closed for winter. If you still want to do business at the dock in the spring of next year, you will have to pay another deposit." When He Changan said this, he glanced at Li Mingxia's expression. Many people backed off when they heard about the ten taels of silver deposit. Although he thought the woman in front of him was quite interesting, there was no point in talking if he couldn't come up with the deposit.
Ten taels of silver was not a small amount, but Li Mingxia could afford it. "Excuse me, sir, do you have a receipt for these ten taels of silver? Is there any seal on the receipt?"
After all, this wharf is under the jurisdiction of the government. Since it is a deposit, there should be a receipt.
He Changan didn't expect that Li Mingxia actually knew all this, and nodded with interest, "Of course they are there. No one dares to forge the seal of the government, so don't worry."
Li Mingxia smiled apologetically, "It's hard for my family to make money, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sir."
He Changan did not comment. "The stall usage fee is two taels of silver per month. Now is the beginning of the month. If you want to do this business, you have to pay these two taels of silver together with the deposit."
The rent of two taels of silver is a very high price, but when Li Mingxia thought about the bowl of plain noodles that cost twelve cents that he had just eaten and the considerable flow of customers, he felt that it was completely acceptable.
"How is it? Are you coming?" After saying this, He Changan picked up the teacup and began to drink tea slowly.
This is not a trivial matter and requires some time to consider. He Changan is quite patient about this.
"Come."
He Changan had just swallowed a mouthful of tea when Li Mingxia gave his answer.
This is definitely a good place to make money. She is very confident in herself. An investment of two taels of silver a month is nothing.
"Do you want to pay the money and write the receipt now?" Li Mingxia asked.
He Changan put away the surprise on his face, nodded, and said: "If you can pay the twelve taels of silver now, you can write the receipt now."
Li Mingxia took out a ten-liang ingot of silver from his purse, and then took out a two-liang silver coin and placed them on the table in front of He Changan.
He Changan took a look and lowered his head to write a receipt. After he finished, he picked up the silver and receipt in front of him, stood up and walked towards the door. When he passed by Li Mingxia, he stopped and explained, "This deposit must be handed over to the government office, and the receipt must also be sent to the government office for verification and stamping. When you collect the deposit, you must also bring the receipt to the government office."
Li Mingxia nodded with a smile, "Then can you show me the receipt?"
He Changan was stunned again. The reason he didn't ask to show the receipt to Li Mingxia was because he didn't think Li Mingxia could read. Now hearing her say so, he quickly handed the paper in his hand to her.
"Don't worry, these are the rules set by the government, and they will never deceive the people."
This is because they still think that Li Mingxia is illiterate and is just pretending!
Li Mingxia did not explain. He took the receipt, looked through it and made sure there was no problem before handing it back to him. He Changan went out and found one of his men to handle the matter.
It was very efficient, and the man came back in just fifteen minutes.
The bright red official seal on the receipt made Li Mingxia feel relieved. After she put the receipt away and made sure that she could set up the stall at any time, she said goodbye to He Changan.
As soon as Li Mingxia left, several people who were interested in finding trouble gathered around He Changan.
"Boss, who is this girl? Is she your relative?"
"Yes, boss. You are so young and you come to the dock to do business by yourself? Do you know me, boss?"
