Chapter 858 The Housekeeper's Daughter Watching the Young Master's Love (Ancient Times) 29

"It's over." Su Xiangran added with a smile, "The Madam and Miss have gone to see the guests off. There's nothing for me to do, so I came to see you, mother."

Li Niang certainly understood what this meant. She patted her daughter's hand and said, "Well, this is also good."

I didn't notice it at first, but after I picked it up, I found that there was an extra bracelet on my daughter's wrist.

"What is this?" Li Niang was also a person who had seen good things. "Is this a reward from the Madam?"

Su Xiangran explained the origin of the bracelet, which surprised Li Niang a little.

She touched the bracelet and said, "It seems that this Madam Shao is different from those other ladies."

Su Xiangran originally wanted to tell her mother what she saw in the yard today, but it was not appropriate to say much in the Su family at this time.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the mother and daughter went home through the side door.

"Mom!" After returning home, Su Xiangran recounted what she had seen today, and also told her mother Li Niang what the second young master had mentioned.

Li Niang was not surprised. She seemed to have known that the eldest young master of the Su family was not what everyone saw on the surface.

"I will tell your eldest brother what the second young master said." Li Niang said to Su Xiangran.

After being busy for the past few days, Su Xiangran decided to take a good rest.

The wages and rewards were delivered early the next morning, adding up to almost fifty taels. Together with the money she had saved before, it was enough to rent a shop.

But if you are buying a shop, it may be a little short.

Su Xiangran was not the kind of person who would procrastinate, so she went to the dental clinic that afternoon and asked someone to take her to see the shop.

At first, the clerk in the pawn shop was a little bit unconvinced when he saw that the girl was really going to rent a shop. Later, seeing that she was very sure about it, Su Xiangran came up and showed her a little bit of her "financial resources".

This man began to become enthusiastic.

The clerk in the dental shop took Su Xiangran to visit several shops, but she was not very satisfied with any of them.

Either the location is too remote or the price is too high.

Just when Su Xiangran was about to give up and was planning to change to another dental shop to try again, the clerk took her to a small shop on Middle Street.

The so-called middle street is a street that is somewhat similar to a dividing line.

It’s not too far from the wealthy area, and normally speaking, it’s quite prosperous here.

However, because there is an alley nearby that is basically inhabited by coolies and porters, one needs to think carefully before opening a shop in this place, after all, their purchasing power is average.

People are often reluctant to spend money.

Compared with eating in stores, they prefer roadside stalls because they are cheaper and will not be looked down upon.

Therefore, the rent here is not very expensive.

Su Xiangran and her clerk checked out the shop. The shop was not large, but the layout was reasonable and the prices were within Su Xiangran's acceptable range.

She suddenly decided to choose this place. After all, she was also in the snack business, and there would always be people patronizing the place if the food was delicious and there were many options.

Although he was the one who introduced the shop, the waiter couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard that the other party really liked this shop: "Are you sure? Although the rent here is only half a tael of silver, the market here is not that good!"

"It looks okay to me!" Su Xiangran looked around and found that the shop could probably accommodate three round tables, which didn't look too big to people like them.

But in Su Xiangran's opinion it was okay. According to modern people's eating habits, a circle of high-legged narrow tables could be placed around the wall.

Then a four-person table like the one in the cafeteria will do.

After all, many of the coolies or porters around here are bachelors and often eat alone.

Those who have families have either moved away, or their wives and children are in the countryside and have not been brought here at all.

After all, the living expenses of one person in the capital city are much cheaper than those of a family of several people. In order to save money, some people simply live in a large dormitory, similar to that of a dormitory.

Of course, among this group of people, Shao Bowen should be excluded first. After all, he would rather be tight on money than to squeeze in the same room with others, let alone share a bed.

Seeing that Su Xiangran had made up her mind, the clerk at the dental shop stopped trying to persuade her and notified the landlord to come over to discuss the lease term and other matters.

Not long after, a tired-looking woman came in and asked, "Young man, do you want to buy or rent this time?"

"Mrs. Wu, please stop joking." The clerk in the dental shop frowned slightly. "You've had this shop for more than a year. It's hard to rent it out, let alone sell it. It's not easy to get a customer, but he chose you because you have a cheap rent."

Mrs. Wu sighed and said, "I see. I'm in urgent need of money. I knew someone had taken a fancy to me, so I thought of asking. Maybe I'll be lucky."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Su Xiangran's eyes flashed, and she pulled the waiter aside.

This action frightened both Mrs. Wu and the dental clerk.

They all thought that Su Xiangran suddenly changed her mind and didn't want to rent it anymore!

"Little girl, do you regret it?" the guy said with a frown.
