Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

After returning to the inn, the mother and daughter put the gifts away and started to make the bed. After they were done, they asked the waiter to bring hot water. After washing up, they lay down on the bed to rest.

"Mom, let's go check out the shops here tomorrow morning. If there's anything good, we can book it first." After Song Sanniang lay down, she said to Song Ersao.

"So urgent? Don't you want your dad to come and see it when the time comes?" Song Ersao felt that this was a bit hasty. She felt that opening a store was a big deal.

"If you find something you like tomorrow, make your decision first. Otherwise, you will have to wait another day or two.

Besides, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming in a day or two, and we will definitely have no time to visit. If we arrange the store early, we can continue to make money earlier.

Otherwise, the mooncakes are sold out, and the sugar soup has also stopped recently, so the family will have no income. "

Although the family earned a lot of money, for Song Sanniang, there was no income at home, which meant a sense of insecurity.

"Then I'll listen to you. I'll go check it out tomorrow and try to leave for home in the afternoon." After hearing what Song Sanniang said, Song Ersao replied.

"it is good."

"I don't know how your father and your sister are doing at home. With your father's cooking skills, I hope your two sisters won't go hungry later."

It was rare for Song Ersao to leave her husband and children, so she couldn't help but worry.

"Mom, look at you, you are worrying about things that you shouldn't. Dad is already an adult, how can you let yourself and your sisters starve?" Song Sanniang was probably used to being independent, so she really couldn't understand Song Ersao's thoughts.

"I've been thinking about you every day since I left home." Song Ersao felt that she was making a big fuss when she heard Song Sanniang say this.

"Don't worry, when we go back tomorrow, Dad and sister will be alive and well."

"That's right. I wonder if the three of them have caused the whole family to fall apart."

The mother and daughter chatted idly, and then they slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, Song Ersao and her daughter wanted to ask Huang Shi Tu to go and look at the store, but Song Lao Da and his friends also wanted to go, so they all went together.

"Master Huang, should we find a broker to go with us? Because we are thinking of renting a store that we like." Song Sanniang asked.

"I have a cousin who works in the pawnbroker business. If you don't mind, I'll take you to see him.

He has been in this business for some time. He should take a smaller commission for my sake. Huang Shi Tu said loudly.

"Then I'll trouble Master Huang." Song Sanniang felt that this master was a really good person, with strong professional skills, smart in dealing with people, and upright.

Huang Shi Tu led a few people to the pawnshop where his cousin worked. He led everyone inside. When the people inside saw that there were customers coming, they came up to greet them. When they heard that the customer was looking for Huang Gui, they shouted, "Huang Gui, someone is looking for you."

Huang Gui heard the voice and came out from the back room. Seeing Huang Shi Tu among the group, he greeted him happily, "Fourth brother, why are you here?"

"I have clients who want to rent a shop to sell sweet soup, so I brought them to you to see if you have any good shops to recommend to them."

As he spoke, Huang Shi Tu introduced Song Sanniang and the others to Huang Gui one by one.

When he heard that it was two women in the group who wanted to rent the shop, he was not surprised. He had been in this business for so long and had seen all kinds of customers.

He counted the shops he had, then took out a picture album and began to introduce them to Song Sanniang and the others.

He did not just tell them about the shops he had, but asked for their opinions first, and then selected the shops he thought were suitable from the catalog.

"According to your requirements, I have five stores that meet your requirements, but I think there are three that are the most suitable. I will introduce them to you first. If you like any of them, I will take you to see them." Huang Gui said.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Huang." Mrs. Song replied.

"This first one is in Le'anfang. It's a two-story shop. Both the upper and lower floors are about 30 square meters.

It had a backyard with a well, three rooms and a large kitchen, and the monthly rent was ten taels.

The shop used to sell noodles. Now that I have made some money, I am thinking of going back to my hometown and buying a small shop of my own.

The shop is very clean. The owner of the shop is the wealthy businessman Jin from our city.

The second store is also in Le'anfang. This store is only one floor, about 25 square meters, and also has a backyard with a well.

There was only one room and a kitchen in the backyard, and the rent was six taels a month.

Previously the shop sold pens, ink, paper and inkstones, but this shop was divided into two shops.

The shop next to it was a tavern, but the owner thought the drinking guests were too noisy, so he moved to another place. The owner of the shop is the wife of our city's Chief Judge Ma.

The third store is on the main street of Dongmen Street. The people living nearby are all wealthy families. This store is on the street and is also a two-story store.

This shop is large, with both floors measuring about 37 or 38 square meters. There are two bedrooms, a utility room, a kitchen, and a well in the backyard. The monthly rent is 12 taels.

We used to run a restaurant. At the beginning, we worked together with our husband and children.

Later, after making some money, the boss fell in love with the younger sister of one of the waiters, so the boss's wife quit her job and returned to her parents' home with her children.

The boss hired someone but they couldn't do the job, so he had to close the shop and go look for his wife.

The owner of the shop is Mr. Gao from our city. His family is only slightly inferior to the Jin family in our city.

After listening to the three companies, Song Sanniang felt that the first one seemed to be the best, but she wanted to listen to the remaining two.

So she told Huang Gui about it, and Huang Gui looked through the album and introduced the remaining two rooms to her.

There is one on the dock, a one-story shop, about 30 square meters, but with no backyard, so it is just a shop space, and the rent is quite expensive because it is at the dock, costing 20 taels a month. This shop also belongs to the Jin family.

The store used to sell fabrics. There was a lot of competition at the dock, with six or seven shops selling fabrics. Their fabrics were not novel enough and could not keep up with the trends in the city, so they had to close.

Another one is near the Neihe Arch Bridge Market. It is a three-story wooden building. Each floor is about 15 square meters. There is a backyard with a utility room, a kitchen, and a well.

The previous owner was a widow who sold women's clothing and rouge and powder. She slept on the third floor.

Later, the widow remarried, and her husband did not allow her to continue to show up in public, so he closed the shop. This shop was left to her by her ex-husband, and now she rents it out for eight taels a month.

After listening to Huang Gui's introduction, Song Ersao and Song Sanniang both preferred the first and third stores, so Huang Gui took the keys and drove the donkey cart to take them to see the stores.
