Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 410 Renting a Shop

"I think these corners need some repairs."

"Then girl, add a little more."

An Yue looked up at the roof and sighed, "Hey! Look at this roof. If we rent it, it will cost a lot of money to build a restaurant."

"Okay, okay, two taels is fine!"

When An Yue and Chun Zhi saw that their boss finally agreed, they both showed satisfied smiles on their faces.

"However, since it's two taels of silver per month, you have to pay the rent for one year in one lump sum."

"No problem, let's make two copies of the agreement!"

The boss nodded, then took out the paper and pen that he had prepared long ago from his pocket.

Both parties wrote down all the agreements on two pieces of paper and signed and sealed them one by one.

An Yue paid the rent and got the two shop keys, and a stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

An Yue said to Chun Zhi, "Next, we have to quickly repair this shop and try to open it as soon as possible."

Chunzhi responded, "Yes! With the help of Brother Daniu and Brother Ale, I think it will be repaired soon."

An Yue shook her head and said, "We need to hire a professional carpenter to do this. The shop also needs to make tables, chairs, and counters."

"Where can we find an experienced carpenter?"

"When the brick and tile house was first built, a carpenter was hired. All the tables, stools and cabinets in our house were made by that carpenter."

"Well, that's good. Miss, do you know where the carpenter lives?"

"It's in a furniture alley in this town. Let's go and see if his shop is open."

As she spoke, An Yue locked the shop door and walked towards the carpenter's shop with Chunzhi.

......

Soon, they arrived at the carpenter's shop, only to find the door closed.

Chunzhi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "Miss, what should we do?"

An Yue frowned and thought for a moment.

He turned around and went to the shop next door to inquire.

I learned from the owner of the shop next door that the carpenter had something to do at home and has not opened the shop for the past few days. He said he would be back tomorrow.

After thanking the shopkeeper, An Yue said to Chun Zhi, "We'll have to come back tomorrow."

It was almost noon.

An Yue and Chun Zhi left the town and headed home.

......

Go home.

During lunch, An Yue told her family the location of the rented shop. Her aunt and grandmother looked shocked.

The aunt asked cautiously, "Yueyue, isn't it too risky to rent a shop so rashly?"

"There are more people in the town now, and the rent is right, so why not rent it?"

"Do we have to wait until all the shops are open and the rent becomes the most expensive before we rent it?"

Aunt Zhang quickly waved her hand and explained, "Don't worry, Yueyue. I'm just reminding you with good intentions. I have no other intentions."

Although the whole family knew that An Yue wanted to do business, they didn't expect her to do it so quickly.

Daniu asked quickly, "Miss, what can A-A-A-Le and I do to help?"

"Tomorrow, Chunzhi will stay at home, and Daniu and Ale, you two will go to the shop in town and clean up all the mess in the shop."

"Okay... okay, miss." Da Niu nodded repeatedly in response.

......

Day two.

The family had breakfast.

Da Niu and A'er took out the broom and dustpan from home and put them in the backpack, then walked towards the town with the siblings.

Several people came to the town.

An Yue led An Nian and Daniu Ale towards the shop they had just rented.

Open the shop door.

An Nian and Daniu Ale walked into the shop together.

They first stood in the shop and looked around.

Then Daniu Ale began to roll up his sleeves and clean the cobwebs and dust around.

An Nian smiled and said, "Sister, from now on, you can go back to your own shop to eat every year! That's great!"

"It's still a long way from the west entrance of the town to the main street at the east end of the town!"

"It's not far, not far. I'll run back and forth every year just to strengthen my body. Then I'll get stronger and stronger every year." An Nian said, patting his chest confidently.

When An Yue heard An Nian say this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Yes, yes, Niannian is right!"

After saying that, An Yue turned to Daniu Ale and said, "Daniu Ale, you guys stay here and clean up first. I'll go get the carpenter."

Ale, who was cleaning the dust on the wall, quickly responded: "Okay, Miss, go ahead!"

As they spoke, the brother and sister came out of the shop and walked all the way to the alley where farm tools were sold before they separated from An Nian.

An Yue came to the carpenter's shop alone and found that the shop was open.

She walked into the shop and saw a woman sweeping the floor and a carpenter concentrating on carving a small object in his hand.

An Yue smiled and said, "Master, you finally opened the door!"

After the carpenter knocked, he looked up and saw that it was An Yue.

He asked with a simple smile: "Girl, long time no see! What do you want from me?"

An Yue explained her purpose to him and told the carpenter about the need to repair the shop and make a counter.

After hearing this, the carpenter readily agreed and said, "Okay, okay, the shop that the girl mentioned is in this town?"

"Yes!"

"Then I'll go with you and take a look. After I measure the size, I'll talk to you about the price."

"Okay, okay, then please follow me."

"No trouble, no trouble. Then... let's set off now." As he said that, the carpenter quickly put away the small object in his hand.

He gave a few instructions to the woman beside him, turned around to get the measuring tools, paper and pen, and followed An Yue out of the shop.

The carpenter followed An Yue into the shop, and as soon as he entered, he began to look around carefully.

"Girl, this shop is in a great location."

An Yue at the side smiled and nodded: "Yes. I hope the master can help me repair those wooden pillars."

"Then, I also want to make a counter here, here..."

An Yue told the carpenter everything she was thinking.

"Okay, okay, no problem."

"Then I'll beg you to take care of it."

The carpenter took out his measuring tools and measured carefully.

"Miss, the wood is 300 coins, and the labor is 600 coins, so the total is 900 coins."

An Yue frowned slightly and said, "Master, can the price be a little cheaper? I just rented the shop and I don't have much money on hand."

After thinking for a moment, the carpenter replied readily, "Okay, okay, okay, you are a repeat customer, so how about 850 coins?"

An Yue agreed and paid the deposit, and the carpenter measured again.

The carpenter wrote down all the measurements on paper and then went back to his shop.

In the whole morning, Daniu and Ale cleaned every corner of the shop.

At this time, it was already noon.
