I opened a mother and baby supermarket in ancient times to raise cubs

In the yard there were only wells and trees that could not be moved, and the two houses were empty, but there was an old pot left on the kitchen stove.

To be honest, the shop and the backyard are not too big or small, and the asking price of 140 taels is quite satisfactory, but he really doesn't have enough money now, including the 100 taels given by Mr. Song, and the savings and The money sent by Yuqiao Si was only worth 150 taels.

At that time, I have to buy some fruit and icing as raw materials, and I have to ask Carpenter Chen to make a plaque and wooden cups. Money is needed everywhere, and I can't spend all my capital for the shop.

It's not that Qiao Mian has never thought about renting a shop, but he also dislikes the trouble of renting a shop. Although the renting shop has to be signed in black and white, I'm afraid that some people with bad intentions will see that they can bring business and want to increase the money. What should I do if I break the contract?When the time comes, I will make trouble from time to time. Is this still a business?

His small business is incomparable to those rogue bosses, so he still has to be on guard in advance.

Fang Ya is a fine person, why can't he tell that Qiao Mian's heart is moving, and asked with a smile, "Qiao Fulang, I have seen the backyard of this shop, what do you think?"

Qiao Mian squeezed the burden on her back, thought for a while and said, "Can it be cheaper?"

Fang Ya shook his head with a bitter face, "Although this shop is deserted and old, the location is not the best, but it is the same size as a courtyard and is close to several academies. That's the price set by the owner, and I can't do it for others call the shots."

Qiao Mian snorted, "What's the advantage of being close to the academy? The government doesn't allow small vendors to peddle, fearing that it will affect the students' studies and won't attract visitors."

Tang Qing echoed, "That's right, isn't this the reason why this preserved fruit shop is famous?"

Fang Ya was so choked that he couldn't speak, so he could only smile wryly, "I'm just watching and selling houses for others."

Qiao Mian scanned the yard again, and said slowly, "I see that the shop has been vacant for a long time, and most of the people who came to see it must have not negotiated because of the price and the old shop."

Seeing that Fang Ya couldn't hide it, he could only sigh, "That's right."

Qiao Mian said, "I have a compromise."

Fang Ya, "Qiao Fulang, please tell me."

"I bought this shop for 140 taels." When Qiao Mian said this, she saw that Fang Ya's eyes lit up, and she paused again at the end of the sentence, "However, I want to settle the money in two installments. The said order will proceed as usual, and we can sign another installment contract in private."

"Compared to holding the house in my hands, my method can not only get him the money he wants, but also settle his worries. I see that the house has been empty for at least three years, and the beams and window panels are also severely corroded. , I don’t know what will happen if I drag it on. The longer it is empty, the harder it is to sell. We all know this. And the 140 taels is a lot for him, and the remaining part of the money will not exceed two at the latest. Months will be handed over to him, at that time we will make a written agreement in black and white, once the time is overdue, I will not only pay back the principal but also pay the breach of contract silver, what do you think?"

Fang Ya rolled his eyes again and again, thinking, this house has been in his hands for too long, if he can really sell it for 140 taels, then he was promised [-]% of it!But paying in installments, losing money over time sounds a bit like credit in disguise?

He gritted his teeth for the last time, "Sure, I'll discuss it with that person, no matter whether the matter is successful or not, let's talk about it in the dental office at this time tomorrow."

Qiao Mian readily agreed.

On the way home, the more Tang Qing saw the deserted street, the more worried he became, and he said sullenly, "No wonder the candied fruit shop is all yellow. I don't think anyone has entered the tailor shop all morning. There is also a noodle stall. Look at that shop." The guy was so sleepy that he was bleeding out! Do you think it’s okay for us to choose this place?"

Qiao Mian glanced at the man who was dozing off and holding a fly swatter at the door of the stall, and said calmly, "Do you still remember that our shop is near the academy?"

Tang Qing nodded bitterly, "Isn't this street so deserted because of the academy?"

Qiao Mian shook her head and smiled, "Look, our shop will become more popular because of these academies!"

Is there any group that loves milk tea and cold drinks more than students?

No.

The biggest reason why Qiao Mian likes this shop is the academy that others avoid!

As soon as Qiao Mian got home and unloaded the burden, she saw Bai Hu running over with a cloth bag in her mouth, her snow-white ears were shaking non-stop, obviously happy.

Qiao Mian bent down, hugged it in her arms, rubbed it, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Where are you going with the bag?"

The white tiger felt extremely comfortable being pushed from head to tail, and purred unconsciously.But it still didn't forget the business, picked up the pocket and put it in Qiao Mian's hand, while it took a step forward and looked back at him.

Qiao Mian looked at the cloth bag in his hand, and asked tentatively, "You want to take me out to find something?"

The white tiger roared softly, looking at him quietly with blood red eyes.

Seeing this, Qiao Mian packed up the burden on the table and followed the white tiger up the mountain.

Fortunately, it was getting late now, and they were walking on a remote mountain road, and they didn't meet any villagers who were returning home from farming.

Sparse stars appeared in the sky, and after passing by a gurgling brook, the white tiger also brought Qiao Mian to the place.

At the foot of the hillside, there are a few fruitful peach trees among the luxuriant and unknown trees, and the peaches in the middle of the branches can be seen faintly in the dark night. They are all the size of a fist, with rounded arcs , the peach skin is red and pink, and it looks overripe.

Although there are few stubby peach trees, there are not many peaches on the tree!

Qiao Mian said happily, "It's Wild Mountain Peach!" Then he looked at the white tiger cub who was sitting aside, raised his head high and was waiting to be praised, and kissed the fur on his forehead, "You are so amazing! You How can I find anything!"

The white tiger cub licked Qiao Mian's face with its tongue, "Ho Ho."

It's nothing to find a few peach trees, the power of being a husband is yet to come!

Qiao Mian laughed and blocked it from kissing, "Okay, okay, you are the best, I will reward you when I get home!"

Baihu's red eyes lit up.

Qiao Mian tied the hem of the clothes that got in the way around his waist, grasped the branches of the tree with both hands and jumped onto the thick and short trunk nimbly, tiptoed to pull a pink peach from the treetop and threw it into the space, there was no need for a white tiger belt To the cloth bag.

The blood-red eyes of the white tiger squatting under the tree were fixed on Qiao Mian, but its ears were alert to the rustling sounds coming from all directions.

When the night darkened like thick ink, Qiao Mian finally finished picking the peaches from these trees.

Although he was so tired that his waist was sore and his back hurt, the more he picked it, the happier he was. He thought that even if there were ten more trees, he would be able to finish picking them. After all, fruits are scarce these days, and there are few varieties. Mountain peaches like this are all from other people's homes. The ones grown in the orchard are still very expensive to buy even in the autumn when the fruits are ripe, and the rich have to eat them carefully, let alone the poor?

When she got home, Qiao Mian changed her clothes, took a small basket of peaches, and went to Aunt Li's house to pick up the rice dumplings. By the way, she told them about buying a shop for business.

After hearing this, Aunt Li was surprised and delighted, and said, "Is the shop ready? When will it move? I'll clean it up for you."

Qiao Mian, who was sleeping soundly in Qiao Mian's arms, smiled and said, "It should be settled tomorrow, but I really have to trouble my aunt to clean it up for me."

"If there is any trouble, don't bother!" Aunt Li smiled and squinted at him. "If it is useful to me, just tell me. You and I are welcome."

Sister Mei's face was blushing and she was very happy for Qiao Mian, she echoed, "I'll help too!"

"Okay, I will call you if something happens."

When Aunt Li sent Qiao Mian away, she gave Qiao Mian another worrying order, asking Qiao Mian to buy the red silk in advance, and to burn a few sticks of incense beside the well.

While listening carefully, Qiao Mian couldn't help but look at Aunt Li's white hair at the temples and her bent waist. After hesitating for a while, she still spoke her mind.

"Ma'am, when I earn some more money, I want to buy another house near the shop. When the time comes, you and sister Mei can move here, and I'll take care of you."

When Aunt Li heard this, she was stunned and smiled and said, "You child is thinking about the long term." She gave him another look, "I am not old, and I can still raise my sister and sister. How can you take care of my mother and daughter?"

Qiao Mian shook her head and smiled, "I didn't say you were old, I just want to recognize sister Mei as my sister." After a pause, she looked at Aunt Li seriously, "I also want to recognize you as my godmother."

After hearing this, Aunt Li was taken aback again, her eyes were slightly red, and she smiled wryly, "I'm an old widow, and I still have a small oil bottle, you, you child..."

"Mother, don't say that!" Qiao Mian frowned and said, "I've been thinking about this for a long time. Since Lie Shan was gone, you have accompanied me to this day. If I were to leave Yaoshui Village, the most worrying thing would be Only you and your wife are left, you let me go to the town to live a good life, and I can't do such a thing as leaving you and your wife in the village."

Aunt Li sighed, and said with a moving face, "I am very moved if you have such a heart. Now all the burdens at home and outside of the family are on you alone. If you are so tired, don't worry about us. We and Zong Zong are here Yaoshui Village is waiting for you." At the end of the sentence, he showed a hearty smile, "waiting for you to lead us to live a happy life!"

Qiao Mian knew that Aunt Li said that she was willing to go to town with her, so she happily smiled and said, "Just don't worry!"

Early the next morning, Qiao Mian and Tang Qing were going to the town's Zhuangzhai Yaxing again.

But when he was about to send the rice dumpling to Mrs. Li's house, he found that the sleeping child's face was as red as if it had been smeared with rouge, and his forehead was scorching hot.

Qiao Mian's expression changed, and she called out to Tang Qing who was about to lock the door, "Tang Qing, wait a minute, Zong Zong seems to be sick!"

When Tang Qing heard this, he ran over quickly, reached out and touched Zong Zong's exposed little arm, and was shocked, "Why is this child so hot!"

Qiao Mian was trembling in her heart, and said anxiously, "I was fine last night and this morning, but just as soon as I went out, this child's body and face suddenly became hot as if on fire!"

"Roar!"

At this time, Baihu, who was trapped in the yard, jumped down from the wall, grabbed Qiao Mian's sleeve, bared his teeth and growled.

While worrying about Zong Zong, Qiao Mian was also afraid that the passers-by would see the white tiger, so she didn't think much of it. She hurried to the roaring white tiger, "Go back to the yard, don't make trouble! Don't let the villagers see you!"

He looked at Tang Qing again, handed him the burden on his back, and said anxiously, "Here is the money we used to buy the shop and a contract I wrote myself. You can take a good look at it on the way, and then follow my instructions. Go to the tooth shop to sign a contract with them, and I will take Zong Zong to the doctor in the village to see a doctor first!"

Tang Qing yelled in surprise and was about to say that he couldn't do it, but seeing Qiao Mian's eyes blushing in a hurry, holding the rice dumpling and running to the doctor's house in the village, he swallowed those words helplessly.
