A few days later, Boss Niu came to tell her that the shopkeeper had agreed and agreed to discuss it the next morning.

Wen Yan is naturally no problem.

The weather was pretty good that day. Although it was already winter, the sun was warm and there was no wind.

The golden sunlight fell on the land and houses, and smoke from cooking rose up.

The Wen family all changed into new clothes. It must be said that Niu Cuihua's needlework was really good, with fine stitches, strong and warm. She tailored different styles for each person. The style that Wen Yan wore was a double-breasted skirt, and the details were spliced ​​with other colored fabrics, which looked beautiful and natural.

Only half a month had passed and the donkey had grown to be as tall as her waist, and when she was leaving this morning, it insisted on following her.

"Mom, it wants to go with you. It says it can carry you on its back." Wan Xuan touched the donkey's thigh. With her height, she could only reach here.

"Oh, can our Sanbao even hear what it is saying?" Wen Yan was melted by the cuteness, especially the double buns she tied today, she looked like a little doll that walked out of a New Year picture.

"Mom, can you hear what Sanbao is thinking?" The little guy covered his chest with his hands, his big eyes blinking.

Wen Yan tapped her little nose, "Do you want to go to the market in town with mother?"

"Mom can really hear me!" Wan Xuan giggled.

After thinking about it, Wen Yan agreed, "Then I'll take you there today."

As for the others, some studied literature, some studied martial arts, and some were just daydreaming, none of them were interested.

Wen Yan patted the donkey. Although it was small, it had good muscles. It was worth the spiritual spring water she had been feeding it. She pushed Wan Xuan onto the saddle first, and then climbed onto the donkey herself.

"Let's go!" Wan Xuan said excitedly.

When we arrived at the inn, the innkeeper had already been there for a while.

It was still as deserted as usual here, with not a single customer here early in the morning.

According to Boss Niu, the shopkeeper's surname is Qiu and his name is Qiu Xueshun.

When he saw Wen Yan, he led her to the table, where several plates of high dishes and a pot of tea were already set. He was very polite and courteous.

"This tea is the inn's own tea, try it." Qiu Xueshun poured tea for both of them.

The tea has a translucent color but is not dark, and its bitter taste goes perfectly with the pastries.

"how?"

Wen Yan slowly raised her eyes, "The tea is bitter, but not sweet."

Qiu Xueshun nodded. "I know you are a few years older than me, so I dare to call you Sister Wen. You have stayed here before, what do you think is wrong with my inn? Why is there always no one coming?"

Wen Yan thought for a moment and then said, "The inn provides food and accommodation. First of all, the food here is mediocre, but the price is not low. Over time, most people will only choose places with better food. In addition, this place is remote, and no one would choose to travel a long way to eat expensive and unpalatable food."

"Then there's housing. The price is expensive for one thing, but this place is very far from the city gate and on the edge of the downtown area, so it's normal that there are few people."

Qiu Xueshun's face was slightly tense. "I can understand everything else, but the price is calculated based on the daily expenses of the inn. It can't be any lower."

Wen Yan smiled and said, "In my opinion, if we hire one less cook, or send all the waiters away and keep only one, the expenses can be reduced."

"If you open a shop on your own, you will definitely do everything yourself at the beginning. You will only hire some assistants when you are too busy. But for your Baijia Inn, I'm afraid the number of people in the beginning is based on the standard of Kezuiju."

Indeed, Qiu Xueshun leaned back in his chair dejectedly, and he was right about everything.

Originally, he wanted to use this question to make Wen Yan give up, but he didn't expect that he would be completely defeated in the end.

He asked desperately, "Sister Wen, do you still want to rent it? Aren't you afraid that this place is in a remote location? Aren't you afraid that no one will come? I don't think you are rich. If you lose money, won't you lose everything?"

"I will definitely make money." Wen Yan's lips always had a soft and dignified smile.

Wan Xuan, who was eating snacks at the side, finally found something to say. She raised her hand and said, "I also believe that mother will definitely make money. She will become the richest person here."

The children's cheerful and lively words broke the solemn atmosphere, and both of them smiled.

"According to the market price, I should pay 30% of the rent as a deposit." Wen Yan took out some silver.

"No need. I have known Boss Niu for three years. I trust the people he introduces. Come to me at the end of December and we will settle the payment." Qiu Xueshun added, "I don't want to come after the New Year, so I'll just give it to you in advance."

The other party was straightforward, so Wen Yan was naturally straightforward as well: "Deal."

This Shopkeeper Qiu is a good person, but he is a little indecisive in some aspects. Wen Yan originally planned to buy the inn, and when things on the inn side are on track, she would hire someone to help look after the restaurant, and the person in front of her is suitable.

It's hard to find a suitable candidate with a good face, and Wen Yan doesn't want to miss it. "Manager Qiu, do you want to stay and form a partnership?"

Qiu Xueshun was so devastated that he didn't want to do business anymore. He just thought it was just a polite remark. "If you can come up with a suitable plan to turn the profit and loss around, I can consider it."

Wen Yan nodded and said okay.

It's right to show your plan to your partners.

Qiu Xueshun walked her to the door and asked hesitantly, "After you rent this inn, do you have to drive everyone away?"

"Why rush?"

"Didn't you just say... it was too expensive, there were too many people, etc..."

Wen Yan blinked and climbed onto the donkey, "That's you. I'll definitely need so many people when the time comes."

So arrogant.

But it also makes people feel that what she said is true.

Qiu Xueshun almost agreed to partner with her, but he held back. He had to observe for a while! Otherwise, he would have to go home. His elder and second brothers would definitely look down on him.

...

...

Wen Yan did not go back immediately. She took Wan Xuan to the market.

Her space can supply the vegetables at home, but the rest has to be purchased elsewhere. Today, the main thing is to replenish some meat and eggs, as the stock at home is almost exhausted.

On the way, we passed a stall selling pearl flowers. I bought one with only one pearl for the eldest child, a headband embroidered with green bamboo for the second child, and a simple blue headband for the fourth child.

The third child picked for a long time but didn't want anything. She said in a baby voice, "I don't want anything. Can I ask mother to buy it for me when I have something I want?"

After saying that, he looked up with expectant eyes.

"Of course." Wen Yan didn't force her. She had just observed that the child really didn't seem to be interested, so she didn't force her to choose.

When Wen Yan reached the end of the market and was about to go back, she suddenly heard the housekeeper's voice, which frightened her.

The butler said: "Master, there is a space item fifty meters ahead."
