Time Travel: Remarrying a Little Wolf Dog

Speaking of which, she has been thinking about what to do with the two rooms facing the street in the front yard these days?

Now that she and He An live in this yard, it is not easy to rent it out.

Then start a small business of your own.

But Su Yan hasn’t decided what to sell yet, and wonders if He An has any ideas.

"You are going to do business with the house facing the street in front of us? Have you thought about what you want to sell?"

He An didn't expect Su Yan to ask this out of the blue, but he didn't care. After thinking for a while, he told Su Yan, "There are many people coming and going on this street looking for work, so there are many food vendors nearby, such as wontons, steamed buns, dumplings, noodles, duck blood soup, etc., all of which can be found on this street."

"If we sell food that is not novel, it will be hard to compete with these old brands that have been in business for many years. So I originally thought of selling grain instead."

Su Yan listened to He An's analysis and thought about it carefully. In this street, there are mostly people who come to the county to work and nearby neighbors. The per capita consumption is definitely not as good as that of the wealthy area in the east of the city.

Therefore, when doing food business here, the first thing to do is to be affordable and large in quantity, and taste comes second.

If they were to make food, they would definitely not have the advantage over those who have been doing business here for many years. Instead, it would be safer to do the grain business.

After all, not every family in the county has land, and country folks are more willing to hang out on the streets here. If the sales are more affordable, those who don’t have enough food at home will definitely come to them first to buy food.

After I have established myself on this street, I can slowly start selling some rare foods.

As for where to purchase the goods, that was even simpler. Not to mention that He An was allocated 30 acres of land, he could sell any land he could not finish eating from the rent paid by the tenants every year.

Even in Su Yan's hometown, every harvest season there are many people who want to sell grain.

Every year, the villagers are forced to lower the price when selling to grain merchants. If He An buys at a more reasonable price, they will definitely be very happy.

Then I can sell it to other people who are short of food and make a profit, which can also be considered a business deal.

However, Su Yan remembered that in the TV dramas she had watched before, it seemed that those who opened grain shops all seemed to have some background. After all, grain, salt and sugar were strategic materials these days, and not everyone could open one.

She asked when she thought of this.

He An was surprised to hear her ask this. He didn't expect that she could think of this.

But thinking about it, Su Yan has always been very smart, it seems that there is nothing to be surprised about.

He explained to her, "Those are the big grain shops you mentioned. We don't have much money at home, so we can't buy much. Small shops don't look down on us. And..." He An changed the subject, his tone still carrying the pride of a young man, "Our He family still has some prestige in the county. My seventh uncle is also the chief clerk in the county government. Everyone will give us this face."

Su Yan looked at his eyes which gradually brightened up as he spoke to the end, and the expression that said, "Just ask, just ask, I can't wait to tell you."

He laughed secretly in his heart, but still looked surprised and said, "Seventh Uncle is the chief clerk?"

Sure enough, when Su Yan asked, He An couldn't wait to tell her about his idol.

In general, it is a story about a young man who was indulgent and playful, but his family fell into poverty one day and he was rejected for marriage. He then repented and studied hard, passed the imperial examination and was appreciated by the county magistrate. He then gradually became the third in command in the county - the chief clerk.

Su Yan thought about it, isn't this just a smaller version of Long Aotian from ancient times? No wonder He An looked so excited when he mentioned him, as if he was talking about an idol.

As expected, no one can escape the classic routine of a cool novel’s counterattack and a slap in the face!

But despite all the complaints, Su Yan still admired Uncle He.

It has been almost a year since she came here, and she has long known that it was not easy to rise from a commoner to an official of high rank in ancient times.

In the process, he must have gone through many difficulties that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Therefore, Su Yan praised He An a lot after he finished speaking. He An, who kept praising him, seemed to have found a confidant and spoke a lot more intermittently before continuing to talk about opening a shop.

In his previous life, Su Yan also set up a stall at a night market. Although he didn't make much money, he did have some experience.

He An was given some business experience as a side note.

He An listened thoughtfully, and the two of them discussed Su Yan's suggestion.

In the end, the more we discussed, the more excited we became, and we all felt that discussing with two people was indeed much more thorough than thinking alone.

The two immediately decided to go for a walk on the street and do some market research in advance.

Su Yan and He An were not the type to procrastinate, so they decided to go out and take a look. They went back to the house, got the key, locked the door, and went out.

Su Yan had not been shopping many times since she came to ancient times, and the few times she went were all very purposeful. After she bought something, her mother would take her back home.

This was her first time to go shopping in the true sense, so Su Yan was obviously a little excited.

Su Yan watched He An lock the door, and couldn't wait to dive into the crowd.

It might be a market day today, so there were obviously a lot of people on the street. Su Yan was afraid that He An couldn't keep up with her, so she pulled his sleeve.

This street looks quite old. It is a street formed by compacted soil. It is a bit like the big market that Su Yan attended when he went to his grandmother's house in the countryside when he was a child.

The streets were bustling with people, and there were vendors hawking their wares everywhere, and the sounds of customers bargaining could be heard everywhere.

Su Yan followed the sound of the vendors hawking their wares and turned into a small stall outside a store. There were quite a lot of people gathered at the stall. Su Yan took a closer look and found that they were selling hand-woven baskets.

Su Yan looked at the evenly and densely woven bamboo baskets and couldn't help but touch them.

In fact, the Su family also has these, but they were made by the Su family for their own use. The workmanship was much cruder, and they were just for use. They were very different from these that were sold.

Next to it was a shop selling stool brooms, which were tightly tied and beautiful. Su Yan couldn't help but sigh that the ancients had perfect manual skills. If this technology were used in modern times, it would be purely handmade and you wouldn't be able to find anywhere to buy it.

Craftsmen are not limited to tools. Su Yan also saw a man selling straw sandals and cloth shoes. The stitching was very fine. In modern times, they might cost hundreds of dollars, but here they only cost eight cents a pair, and that was for cloth shoes. Straw sandals were even cheaper, only three cents a pair.

There are countless food shops, selling sesame cakes, wontons, noodles, pancakes, steamed buns, dumplings, duck blood vermicelli, etc., one next to the other. If there is not enough space in the shop, they just put a long table at the door to entertain customers.

The surroundings were crowded with people.

Su Yan went over to observe and sighed that everyone who could open a business here must have his own skills. Either the food looked delicious and filled the street with fragrance, or the quantity was large.

Su Yan even bought a bun to try. The taste was average, but it was really big.

A vegetarian bun was as big as her fist, and only cost two cents each.

There were a lot of people around buying.

Su Yan took the bun and took two bites, then handed the rest to He An.

He An's tongue wasn't as sensitive as Su Yan's, so he didn't think the taste was bad or anything. He took it and ate it in just a few bites.
