Chapter 198 Looking at the shop
Judging from the fact that there are many students studying in Sujiatun, so far there are only a few who have passed the entrance examination to become a boy student, let alone a junior student.
The place is remote and the education level must be poor. Do people go to higher places? Unless Song Yi has reached a certain status and comes to Qinghe Town because of some other feelings, otherwise even those with some ability will not be willing to come back. I want a better place to develop.
The road to the imperial examination is not just about simple study and endorsement. It requires good teachers and good classmates. These are all connections. Su Tang’s previous idea was to go to the county academy after the time of observing filial piety. Take a look, if not, then go to the state capital and have a look.
Anyway, her business in big cities will only grow bigger, but since she can't leave in a short time, she also needs a place to live in Qinghe Town, but she is not prepared to invest too much, because the development of Qinghe Town is limited, and she can't afford it. Not necessarily valuable.
Su Tang This is a typical investment philosophy of modern people. When buying a house, you must buy a good location. Real estate in small cities is not valuable, so there is no need to buy it. If you live temporarily, buy the best location. Such a house will be available in the future. Easy to sell.
As for the idea of renting a house, it was very simple for her to give up. Renting a house gave her too little initiative. Once her reputation was established, if the landlord took back the job, she would have to find a new shop or move. To catch up on these years of rent.
If you buy it, you can sell it directly when you leave. Maybe you can increase the price. If you can't sell it at an increase, even selling it at the original price is more suitable than renting.
That's why I borrowed money from Song Yi to buy a shop. When I heard Zhang Zheng said that there were shops for rent, Su Tang shook his head directly, "I don't rent, I only buy. What are the conditions of these two shops? Zhang Zhongren can introduce them to me." "
Zhang Zheng saw that Su Tang didn't consider renting a shop at all, and he knew it in his mind, so he introduced to her, "These two shops actually belong to the same person. They originally bought them for their son to study. However, their son was rushed to take the exam last year and got dyed." Not only did they fail to pass the exam, but they also couldn’t afford to fall ill, and they planned to sell the shop just to treat their children.”
"If Miss Su is free, I will take her to see these two shops." Zhang Zheng was also very agile. Knowing that Su Tang really wanted to buy it, he would take her to see them.
Of course Su Tang agreed, and nodded and followed them to East Street. "One of these two shops is just opposite the academy. It is in a good location. There is a big yard behind it. They are selling pens, ink, paper and inkstones."
The two walked through the alley and took a shortcut to the entrance of the academy. It was time to study. Jiang He and Qian's facial paralysis were still on. They were surprised to see Su Tang following others to their side.
However, Su Tang did not pass by them, but went to the front of the academy. Su Tang also saw the shop Zhang Zheng mentioned. She had been here before and had an impression of this shop.
"It's too big!" Su Tang shook his head directly. The storefront was at least eighty square meters, very bright and spacious, and the place was good. But for such a big shop, Su Tang probably couldn't buy it with the hundred taels he had in hand.
"But the location is good. Even if you buy it and split it into two or three shops, it's okay." Zhang Zheng introduced.
"How much does this shop cost?" Seeing his enthusiasm, Su Tang asked.
Zhang Zheng said, "This shop sells two hundred taels of silver. If the girl is interested, we can discuss it further."
After all, he is a middle-class man and can sell a big house. He will definitely not want to buy a small one, which is expensive and how much he can earn.
Chapter 199 Looking at the shop
"Where's the other one?" The place is very good, but Su Tang can't afford it, and it's not suitable for her. She sells desserts, and it won't have much impact if it's a little more biased. Instead, she feels that Jiang He's noodle stall is not as good as before. The shops on the street are good.
Seeing Su Tang's noncommittal attitude, Zhang Zheng knew that she was not interested in this, and then he took Su Tang to Jiang He's noodle stall.
"Sugar girl!" Qian said hello when he saw her coming.
Su Tang smiled and said, "Well, eldest brother and sister-in-law are out at the stall!"
"Yes, Miss Tang, who is this?" Mrs. Qian looked at Su Tang curiously. She actually knew Zhang Zheng. After all, she was a middle-aged man. There were many shops on East Street, so Zhang Zheng often came here.
Although there are many shops here, there are actually not many that can continue to do business stably. After all, there are many shops and there will be competition. If it is not really well-done and distinctive, it will often fail within a few days. Close the shop.
Moreover, the rent of shops on East Street is more expensive than elsewhere.
Qian was worried that Su Tang would sell fish balls himself. Their noodle stall relied on fish ball noodles to achieve its current development. If Su Tang sold fish balls by himself, their business would definitely be affected.
Su Tang also noticed their worries, but without explaining, he smiled and said, "It's nothing, come and take a look at the shop."
Jiang He was also worried, "What kind of shop is Miss Sugar planning to open?"
After asking, I realized something was wrong. No matter how old the girl was, there was no need to explain to them what kind of business they wanted to do because of their relationship.
Su Tang just smiled after hearing this. Zhang Zheng was also smart. When he saw this, he quickly said, "Miss Su, go this way. This shop is relatively far away. You have to go in."
The reason why Zhang Zheng didn't recommend this shop to Su Tang first was because the location of this shop was indeed not as good as the one just now. Apart from the price being a bit more expensive, there was nothing bad about that shop.
So even though Su Tang said he didn't want a big one, he still took Su Tang to see it. In the end, Su Tang didn't like it, so he took Su Tang to this small one.
Because the academy is here in the town, this street has naturally developed into many food shops. The shop Zhang Zheng mentioned is almost inside and is a bit far from the entrance of the academy.
There are two shops further inside, but the business is not very good at first glance. After all, it takes time to walk through them.
The area of the shop was only about twenty square meters, and it was currently vacant. The area was indeed suitable. Su Tang asked again, "Can I go inside and have a look? What's the yard in the back like?"
"Of course!" Seeing that Su Tang was willing to look, Zhang Zheng immediately went over to knock on the door, and saw a middle-aged man opening the door. When he saw it was Zhang Zheng, he squeezed out a bitter smile on his face, "It's Zhang Zhongren who is here."
"Yes, how is your uncle's health? I'll bring someone over to take a look at the shop." Zhang Zheng expressed concern and then glanced at Su Tang.
After hearing this, the man shook his head, "What can we do, let's just do it like that." He was stunned when he saw Su Tang, but he still invited Zhang Zheng and Su Tang to come in, "Come in quickly."
"Miss Su, this is the owner of the shop. Brother Lin and his sister-in-law's family of four currently live here. The yard at the back is not very big. There are only four rooms in total. There is also a yard at the back. There is a door in the back yard. Come out. It’s just a few steps to the back entrance of the academy, so it’s very convenient to go back and forth.”
Zhang Zheng introduced Su Tang enthusiastically.
