After returning from the village, I have been thinking about the issue of buying a shop. I asked Brother He to ask for information the other day, but I wonder if he got it. Now that I have some free time, I decided to ask. If there is any, I will buy it as soon as possible. I can also make plans early. When I arrived at my brother's house, it was Sister He who opened the door.

When he came into the house, he and his elder brother laughed out loud: "Sister, it's so early. I heard the magpie calling early in the morning, so I guessed that you would definitely come today. I have already asked about the shop you asked me to go to. It is just a little bit past the small house in the past. If you want, you can go and take a look today. The key of the house is here with me."

Me: "Then let's go, Brother He, you can decide whether to buy it after you have seen it."

Brother He, take the key, we went out and headed east, and soon arrived in front of the shop that Brother He mentioned. The shop is not big, the front is only a few dozen square meters, but there are two rooms in the back, and there is also a toilet, it seems to be the kind of storefront built now.

In front of him is the main road for north-south traffic. The shopkeeper is a short, fat middle-aged man named Du, who is a childhood friend of He. His wife's family is from the city. He said that there is a better development in the city, so he plans to move his business there. He is short of funds, so he wants to transfer the shop and recover the funds. The only requirement is that the shop can be vacated in two months, because there are still many goods in the shop that he wants to clear out.

I was very satisfied with it. In two months, the sweet potatoes in the field will be almost ready and can all be dug out and used to grind into powder. For the time being, I don’t have any urgent need for it.

I thought about it in my mind, but I couldn't say it that way. After some bargaining with the shop owner, Brother He finally won the deal and bought the shop for two hundred taels.

We signed another contract, stipulating that I could not ask him to hand over the shop within two months, and if he could not vacate the shop after two months, he would have to compensate me for my losses.

The price was almost agreed, and we went to the restaurant to have lunch. During the conversation, we learned that Boss Du went to the city to start a furniture business with his wife's brother. It was said that the furniture business there was very good. However, the initial investment was large, so he wanted to sell the ancestral shop. He planned to settle there and not come here again.

I said some flattering words to Brother He and congratulated Boss Du on his great fortune in the past.

Boss Du was very happy and asked us to go over there when we have time. He said that the opportunities there are more and better than here. The annual expenses of a family here may be the cost of a meal for a rich person in the capital. He also said with emotion that the luxury of the rich in this world is unimaginable.

After dinner, we agreed to go to the government office to transfer the ownership in the afternoon. Brother He and Boss Du went to the government office to wait for me, and I went back to get the money.

I spent five taels of silver for a meal, which was something I didn't dare to think about when I first came here. But now I spend it without blinking an eye. I will spend more than 200 taels in the afternoon. I can't help but sigh in my heart, this silver is really not enough!

A house with a small courtyard only costs 80 taels, while a shop costs 200 taels. From ancient times to modern times, shop fronts have always been expensive!

The great cause of making money really cannot be relaxed for a moment. I can't help but think of a widely circulated saying in modern times: The revolution has not yet succeeded, and we still need to work hard.

I hurried home. Xiuwen and Qiwen were reading. Seeing me in a hurry, Xiuwen looked up and said, "Mom, what are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry? Is there something wrong?"

Me: "Haha, there's good news, Xiuwen, come with me."

Xiu Wen: "Mom, where are you going?"

Me: "Let's go to the government office. Damn it, the small shop has been negotiated. Xiuwen, come with me to check the household registration. Xiaobao, you stay home and be a good boy." Xiuwen will be 16 in a few days, and he must be involved in all the big and small things at home, so as to train his tactfulness in dealing with people and things.

Xiaobao: "Yeah, I'll be good at home, you and brother go quickly, and remember to bring me two meat buns when you come back."

This little greedy cat was too obsessed with meat buns. Perhaps it was because he had never eaten anything delicious at that time. The first time he tasted meat buns, the taste was deeply engraved in his memory.

I pinched Xiaobao's increasingly round face and said, "Little greedy cat, you'll eat yourself into a fat man for the rest of your life."

"I wouldn't," Xiaobao turned his head away with a smile. Xiuwen and I arrived at the gate of the government office, where my elder brother and Boss Du were already waiting. Xiuwen went up to greet them. The four of us walked into the government office together.

With the experience of buying a small house last time, Xiu Wen directly gave the yamen runners 200 coins each as a benefit and paid the silver for the transfer.

The yamen runners were immediately enthusiastic about doing things after receiving the money, and the remaining minor problems that we had not yet noticed were also solved one by one. Money makes things easier, and this truth applies to every dynasty.
