After being exiled, I took my whole family to farm in space
Chapter 77 Buying a shop and reclaiming wasteland
The streets in Fengyang County were deserted and most of the shops were closed.
"This place is still the least lively here." Mr. Mu sighed.
"Grandpa, there's a drought here right now. It's good that the people haven't abandoned the city yet."
"No one would move to their hometown if they couldn't survive."
"Let's look for it separately. We're looking for a big store. I want to open a grocery store." It is estimated that many stores will have to be sold due to drought in Fengyang County.
"Okay, it's faster this way." Several people said and took action separately.
"Chaochao, there is a teahouse here for resale." Mu Yunxi pointed to the teahouse with a resale sticker in front of her and said.
"Mom, let's go take a look."
The two of them entered the teahouse. The teahouse was neither very big nor too small. It was two stories high.
"Two guests, the teahouse is closed. Do you want to buy a teahouse?" There was only one shopkeeper inside.
"Yes, shopkeeper, do you want to sell this teahouse?"
"Yes, there is a drought here and the rivers have dried up. My family is planning to move out." The people have no food to eat, so who will come to drink tea.
"Can we take a look?"
"Excuse me, there is another floor upstairs. I will take you up." The two of them followed upstairs.
"Chaochao, how is it?"
"The two-story building is good, but it's a little small." She was planning to open an ancient version of a supermarket, but this place was a little smaller than she expected.
"Little girl, my teahouse occupies a relatively small area in Fengyang County. There are very few restaurants with two floors. The two floors combined are big enough." The shopkeeper did not lie. They had not seen anything bigger than this one when they came just now. The teahouse is big.
"Shopkeeper, does that yard behind you belong to you?" It was a house built of bluestone, and it seemed that the shopkeeper had a good family background.
"Yes, this is a house passed down from our ancestors. We have lived here for a long time. If it hadn't been for the drought, we wouldn't have wanted to move away." The shopkeeper's eyes were moist.
"Even that yard, how much do you want to sell it for?"
"Little girl, it's hard to do business during the famine, so I'll make it cheaper for you. I'll just charge three hundred taels."
Mu Yunxi felt that this shopkeeper was very down-to-earth. The yard at the back was so big, and the shop cost 300 to 400 taels. The northwest was not as good as the capital, where you would have to spend a thousand taels of silver to get it.
Mu Chaochao looked at the decoration of the teahouse. The teahouse was very clean and comfortable. It is not difficult to imagine that the business here must have been very good before.
"Shopkeeper, if you find a job here, will you stay?"
"If possible, of course I would stay. My family is reluctant to leave." The shopkeeper sighed.
"Shopkeeper, I'll buy your shop, and you can stay and continue to be the shopkeeper, with a monthly salary of ten taels, plus monthly profit dividends, how about that?" Mu Chaochao looked at him slyly and said.
The shopkeeper was startled and asked: "Little girl, may I ask what you are doing?"
"Groceries, grains, vegetables and fruits."
"Little girl, do you know how to make these things?" The shopkeeper was surprised.
"Even if I don't have it, the person behind me does, the current seventh prince."
Mu Chaochao looked sideways at the shopkeeper and said solemnly that after buying the shop, he would also need to find manpower. This shopkeeper gave her a good impression. It would be best to find a ready-made manager. Reporting the seventh prince could also act as a deterrent.
"Seven princes?"
The shopkeeper looked at Mu Chaochao in shock, seeing that the two people wearing ordinary clothes in front of him had the seventh prince leaning on their backs, and she didn't look like she was lying.
"What, you don't believe it? The seventh prince is at the county government office now. How dare you come with me?"
Mu Chaochao looked at him deeply, and Mu Yunxi looked at her daughter and felt that she looked somewhat similar to the seventh prince.
The shopkeeper was shocked. This was the pressure of the superior. This little girl was not simple.
"Xu Changlong has met my boss." Shopkeeper Xu quickly saluted.
"Shopkeeper Xu, there is no need to be polite." Mu Chaochao smiled and supported him slightly, his aura more like that of the seventh prince.
"What's wrong, mother?" Mu Chaochao looked at Mu Yunxi who was in a daze.
"You and the Seventh Prince grew up together. Mother feels that your aura is more and more similar to that of the Seventh Prince." Mu Yunxi touched her daughter's head and sighed secretly. As her daughter grew up, she felt a little comforted and a little bit in her heart. Melancholy.
"Really? Maybe I've been with Brother Chen for a long time and I've learned a lot unconsciously." Mu Chaochao looked downstairs indifferently.
"Grandpa, brother, we are here." Mu Chaochao shouted when he saw the two people passing by upstairs.
"Mother, let's go down. Shopkeeper Xu, follow me to the county government office to go through the procedures."
"Yes, Master."
"Grandpa, I have booked this store. Have you seen any good stores?"
"It's not very big." The two shook their heads.
The group returned to the county government office, and Mu Chaochao paid the money and went through the formalities.
"Shopkeeper Xu, this is the shelf grid I designed. Work it out as soon as possible. I also need to clean up the place and open it as soon as possible to appease the people."
"Yes, boss." Shopkeeper Xu became more and more respectful.
"There is also an employment contract, which contains salary and benefits. Every employee must sign a contract. I have only one requirement for employment. The character must be trustworthy. This is the employee code, and everyone must abide by it."
Mu Chaochao had already prepared these when he decided to open a shop on the road.
"Yes, Master."
Shopkeeper Xu signed the contract and handed it over to Mu Chaochao. Shopkeeper Xu looked at his salary. If the business was good and he received dividends, he might earn more in a month than his restaurant. At this moment, shopkeeper Xu felt resentful that he had made the right choice.
"Master, I'm going to get busy." Shopkeeper Xu resigned.
"Alright, go ahead."
"Master Li, is there any extra land in Fengyang County?"
"Yes, yes, there are hundreds of acres of barren land in the west of the city that cannot be cultivated."
When Li De saw Mu Chaochao asking, he quickly replied that it would be a good thing if the wasteland could be reclaimed.
"Let's go and see!"
Mu Chaochao and Magistrate Li took a carriage to the wasteland in the west of the city. They looked at the soil and found that it was too alkaline for planting.
"Sister Chaochao, can we plant it here?"
"Okay, just modify the soil. I want to use it to grow corn." There are so many treasures in the space, and it is still possible to neutralize the soil.
"Great. If Miss Mu grows food, it will benefit the people."
Magistrate Li also hoped that the land under his jurisdiction would be prosperous. He looked at Mu Chaochao with burning eyes. He believed that this little girl could transform the soil.
"My Lord County Magistrate, I have troubled you a lot with the land reclamation work." Mu Chaochao was not staying in Fengyang County for a long time, so Magistrate Li was there to help.
"What I should do is to benefit the people. I wonder when will the little girl open up wasteland?"
"I can make fertilizer tomorrow, but this person has to trouble Mr. Li to find more."
"I would like to thank the little girl here for saving the people during the famine." Magistrate Li saluted Mu Chaochao, and Mu Chaochao turned away.
"Master Li, you are serious." Mu Chaofu returned the greeting.
"Master Li, please also post a notice. If you have extra poultry and livestock to sell, you can bring them to the county government office. I will take them all."
Livestock such as natural disasters are not easy to feed, so the people will definitely be willing to exchange money.
"Ok."
Mu Chaochao walked around the wasteland and sensed the underground water with her spiritual power. She took a few sticks of firewood and stuck them in the soil.
Finally completing the task, he returned to the county office to complete the procedures. Mu Chaochao spent the whole night making fertilizer in the space.
next day
After Mu Chaochao had breakfast, he heard that Zhang Erniu's murderer had been caught.
"Who is the murderer?" Mu Chaochao asked curiously.
"Little miss, this is Zhang Gen, Zhang Erniu's wife's brother."
It turns out that today is the Bon Festival and the door of ghosts is closed. Tianquan opened a court to interrogate the case with Magistrate Li, and asked the ghost of Zhang Erniu to come out to identify the murderer. Magistrate Li and Gao Yanniang acted out a play.
When Zishi opened the court, no one came to see the trial, let alone the Bon Festival. Apart from Zhang Erniu's family, there were really not many people.
Ye Huaichen suspected that Zhang Gen had killed Zhang Erniu. Without any evidence, he could only try to deceive the murderer. According to Zhang Gen's performance in this case, he would definitely come to court.
