Lu Dagui on the side said hurriedly, "Doctor Zhang, Xinghe and Xinghe's wife are looking for a shop and want to open a medical clinic in the town."
"Yo! Then I have to go and have a look."
Zhang Zheng hurriedly jumped out of the mule cart and followed the two people into the shop.
The door of the shop was not closed tightly, but opened with a slight push. The landlord who showed the two people around the shop in the morning was lighting a charcoal basin to warm up the fire. When he saw the two people, he stood up quickly.
"You two are finally here. I was afraid that there would be no one when you came, so I waited here since the morning."
"Uncle, have you thought about it?"
Wang Shuren regained his serious expression, "I thought about it, and the annual payment of the store rent in March is not unacceptable, but I will sign the contract with you for a maximum of two years. The store rent after two years will definitely have to be based on the market conditions at that time. Come, when you can continue to do business here, we will renew the contract. If you don't continue, you can also find another shop."
If it weren't for the fact that the loan he owed to buy the shop hadn't been repaid, he wouldn't have wanted to make such a concession. The shop had not made much profit this year and had already eaten up its capital for more than half a year. He couldn't bear it if it continued like this.
Chu Yue whispered, "If you only sign for two years, I won't consider it. Moving a shop is too troublesome."
It's not like there aren't any other shops here, but if it doesn't work, the next best thing is to find one on the first floor.
After hearing this, Zhang Zheng finally understood the situation, so he walked around the shop and asked, "Do you want to sell this shop? If so, how much will it cost?"
Chu Yue was shocked and hurriedly pulled Zhang Zheng aside.
"Master, this shop is worth a few hundred taels. We don't have that much money, so we can't afford it."
Zhang Zheng patted her hand, stepped forward and continued, "Give me a real price. If it's suitable, we'll buy it."
When Wang Shuren saw that Zhang Zheng wanted to buy a shop, he immediately became interested and asked, "Mr. Do you really want to buy it?"
Zhang Zheng raised his chin slightly and said, "I'm all here, how can I still take a break?"
"I bought this shop three years ago. When I bought it, I spent a total of five hundred and thirty taels of silver. It was clearly written on my transfer deed." He said while looking at the three of them, " If you don’t believe me, I can show it to you when the time comes. I also borrowed three hundred taels of mediation money at that time, and the interest was high. This shop has been empty for more than half a year and has been losing money. If you buy it sincerely, I'm also happy to sell it, five hundred taels, just let me get my money back."
The interest rates for agency money are so high that ordinary people would not get involved unless necessary. This Wang Shuren is really big-hearted.
Hearing this, Chu Yue's pupils widened, "Five hundred taels, this is too expensive!"
Even if she were sold, she wouldn't be able to get so much money.
"The prices I offer are real prices. Shops are usually more expensive than houses. If the price is lower than this price, please forgive me for saying something unpleasant. I would rather leave it empty than sell it."
"Okay, then it's five hundred taels." Zhang Zheng took out a five hundred taels of silver notes from his arms and handed it to Chu Yue, "Girl, after buying this shop, you can do whatever you want from now on. There’s no need to pay rent anymore.”
Looking at the five hundred taels of silver notes in her hand, Chu Yue was surprised and felt hot.
"Master, how can this be done?"
Zhang Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"Why not? Didn't you just say that you and Master are a family? Take it, I will count on you to support me until I die."
Chu Yue was filled with emotion in her heart. She looked at Zhang Zheng and said, "Even if I don't have these five hundred taels, it's still appropriate to give Master a pension until the end of his life. I will treat this money as something Master lent me. When I make money later, I will return it to Master." Okay? If Master doesn't agree, I can't take the money."
Seeing the little girl's stubbornness, Zhang Zheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, as you like."
Once the money was in place, the subsequent procedures went smoothly.
Chu Yue held the house deed that had just been stamped from the Yamen in both hands, with all the happiness written on her face.
Zhang Zheng was also happy for her, but he still suppressed his emotions and said, "See how happy a house deed makes you? As long as you learn your skills well, how much do you want for a shop like this in the future?" As many as there are.”
Chu Yue smiled and shook her head, "That's different. This is the first shop we bought."
…
Because I was delayed in town for a long time, it was almost time for dinner when I got home.
Zhang Zheng got off the mule cart and looked up at the sky.
"I'm afraid it's going to snow again."
Yun Cuihe, who had just come out of the kitchen, saw Zhang Zheng and greeted him with a smile.
"Ah! Doctor Zhang is here, come in quickly."
Zhang Zheng followed several people into the courtyard and looked around, "Hahahaha, this is better."
"Doctor Zhang, please go inside quickly. It's cold outside." Yun Cuihe led Zhang Zheng into the main room to warm up by the fire, then left the main room, pulling Chu Yue who had just come out of the room towards the kitchen, "Yueyue , come and help me, I didn’t know Doctor Zhang was here today, and the porridge he made is not enough, you can unload a piece of venison for me, and I’ll make a brown rice pancake first."
"Mom, there's no need to iron the pancakes. Let's make a big portion of Bobo rice today. How about inviting grandma and grandpa to come and eat together at home?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Cuihe asked with a smile, "What's wrong? What good things are going on today?"
She knows this girl very well. Once something good happens to her family, she wants to celebrate by killing chickens and sheep.
The smile on Chu Yue's face has never dropped since she got the house deed.
"I won a business and bought a shop by the way. Is it a good thing?"
Yun Cuihe was so shocked that the movements of her hands stopped.
"Yeah! Did you buy a shop?"
Chu Yue hummed, "We originally wanted to rent it, but Master asked us to buy it. The money to buy the shop was also given by Master, but I thought it was borrowed from Master, and I will pay him back when I make money in the future."
Yun Cuihe nodded.
"I will definitely pay it back." She said as she took off her apron, "Yueyue, you are busy first, I will go to the old house to call your grandma, and I will go to Chunsheng's house to buy a bottle of wine. "
Chu Yue nodded, "Okay, Xing'an is here to help. Mom, go call grandma."
Yun Cuihe went to her room, took the money and went out in a hurry.
After a while, Lu Tiesheng and Wang Xuelan came to the house.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhang Zheng warming himself by the fire, "Hey, brother is here."
Zhang Zheng snorted and murmured in a low voice, "You are obviously only half a month younger than me, but you still call me like an old man. It's not embarrassing."
Although the sound was not loud, it was enough for Lu Tiesheng to hear. He didn't care, but sat down next to Zhang Zheng, "What? Isn't it a big day? Not to mention a full half a month."
Zhang Zheng opened his lips slightly and wanted to say something. After thinking about it, he closed his mouth again.
Is he free? Why bother with this old man who doesn't have enough food and salt?
