Defeat natural disasters with farming

The wonton stall that Ye's father mentioned is in South Street. Although there is no storefront, it is quite famous in South Street because of its cheap price and honest materials.

"Brother Ye, why did you come to the county? Hey, this is your child? He looks so handsome, as you like!"

The owner of the stall is a couple. The husband's surname is Chen. The couple are not tall. Ye Yu's visual inspection is about 1.6 meters tall. Seventy percent of the new cotton clothes have been washed clean, and the fingernails are cut to the flesh. You can tell at a glance. Is a neat person.

"Where, this kid is more like his mother."

Father Ye saw that someone left and a small table was vacant, so he took Ye Yu to sit on it, "Here are two big bowls of wontons, and I have to ask you to help warm up these two pancakes."

The stall owner Chen took the pancakes and said with a smile, "What's the trouble?"

Then the two chatted a few more words while there were not many guests.

Ye Yu listened to their chat and learned that Father Ye and Chen stall owner met when they were building the city wall in the county.

Later, the two hit it off, and they have developed a deep friendship up to now.

The large bowl of wontons is made of sea bowls, and each bowl costs eight big coins. There are about twenty wontons inside, each with thin skin and rich filling. The yellowish soup is sprinkled with emerald green scallions.

Although it is said to be a wonton with fresh meat, there is only a little bit of meat in it.However, the taste is really delicious, and the craftsmanship of wrapping the wontons is good, and none of the wontons are broken.

After eating the soup with water, the whole body will be hot.

Of course, this bowl of wontons is definitely not enough for Father Ye. He mainly uses stick noodles to fill his stomach. The pancakes given by the villagers in the morning are still hard after being heated, but they have a bit of sweetness. fragrant.

Ye Yu has a small appetite, so he is full after eating two-thirds of the wontons, and let Father Ye make rounds for the rest.

After eating, he learned that the Ye family father and son wanted to go to the shop, the stall owner Chen thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to rent a house or a shop in the county town?"

Father Ye replied: "First, I'm going to have a look, and if there is a suitable one, I will rent a shop."

The stall owner Chen patted the table, "Isn't this a coincidence? Recently my neighbor is trying to rent out his shop, why don't you go and have a look? Among other things, the rent is more expensive than the housekeeping. It can be much cheaper, I have also visited the storefront, and the location is suitable, but because I have already negotiated with other people about the storefront, it didn’t work.”

"If you have an idea, I'll take you there."

"Okay, what about your stall?"

"There aren't many people in the afternoon, just let my elders come and watch."

The two of them settled the conversation with a few simple sentences. The stall owner Chen told his wife, and then led the father and son out.

As he walked, he said, "Oh, my neighbor's family is fine, but their lives are not very good."

Ye Yu listened carefully to what he said. This was another crime committed by human traffickers. Chen's stall owner's neighbor was surnamed Xie, and his name was Xian. He had parents, a son and a daughter. The family of six lived together. There was a grocery store at home. The daily income is enough, if not encountering human traffickers, their life can be considered happy.

However, during the Chinese New Year last year, Xie Xian's mother and his wife went out with their two children for the festival, and encountered a kidnapper. The boy has not been found so far. Although the girl was not kidnapped, she injured her head in the struggle , leaving a headache sequelae.

Now the entire family collapsed. Xie Xian's mother was old and didn't turn the corner. She thought it was because she took the child out that she was abducted. Well, since the child disappeared, he didn't recognize anyone, and he had to call his son grandson from time to time, not to mention his wife, shed tears every day, and almost went blind from crying.

There are five members of the family, four of whom have to take medicine. Xie Xian has no time to be sad, so he supports the family alone, and has no time to look at the store, so he has to think about renting out the store first.

"That shop is really good, and Lao Xie is also very nice."

The stall owner Chen finally summed up in one sentence.

Although Ye's father also sympathized with Xie Xian, he didn't know him after all. If the store was not suitable, he couldn't force it.

The group of them went directly to the shop to be rented out. The location of the shop was really good, just in the middle of the crossroads. It was very convenient to travel and the business was good. The disadvantage was that it was quite noisy. You could hear the hustle and bustle outside the room.

But once the door is closed, the volume is still acceptable.

As soon as the Ye family father and son entered the door, they saw Xie Xian who was guarding the shop. He was a rather gentle and handsome man, tall and thin at the same time, unhealthy thin, with sunken cheeks.

Seeing someone coming, he hurriedly got up to meet him.

When the adults introduced each other, Ye Yu had already started to observe the environment in the store.

This is a typical grocery store. Except for the counter, there are floor-to-ceiling shelves. There are not many things on it. It seems that it has almost been cleared.

And the shop was not messy at all, which made him nod secretly.

Xie Xian took them on a tour of the entire store, "If you are sure to rent, all the things in this store will be left to you."

"The rent is [-] Wen a month, and it needs to be paid every six months."

Father Ye calculated in his mind that the monthly rent was [-] Wen, which would be about [-] taels of silver for half a year. The price is indeed not high, it can be regarded as affordable, and the conditions of the shop are also good, so he was a little moved.

"Can it be used as a restaurant?"

Some householders are unwilling to rent out the storefront as a restaurant, mainly because they are smoky every day, and they are afraid that they will lose sight of the storefront after the lease ends.

Xie Xian nodded and said: "Yes, as long as you are careful not to get into the water."

Father Ye said to Xie Xian, let him go home to discuss with his family, and give him an answer tomorrow, Xie Xian agreed.

After leaving the shop, the father and son said goodbye to the stall owner Chen.

However, Father Ye didn't go back to the village, instead he turned around and went to the shop.

He whispered to Ye Yu: "Don't think that Xie's shop is so good, but you still have to think twice before making a decision. Let's find a few more shops. It doesn't matter if Xie's shop fails."

Ye Yu understands the so-called planning for a rainy day.

Housekeeping is a government-affiliated institution, so naturally there are a lot of houses in hand. Under the leadership of the so-called money-grabbing marriage officer, which is equivalent to a modern section officer, Father Ye has looked through several public shops for rent.

In terms of price, the cheap one costs four hundred cash, and the expensive one costs one tael of silver. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but overall it is not as good as Xie's shop.

When the father and son finally left the county, the sun had already set.
