The next day, before Ren Baqian woke up, he was woken up by the rushing steward Shi.
"What's the matter?" Ren Baqian asked sleepily.
"Is what you said last night true or false?" Steward Shi asked.
"What about the shaved ice shop? Of course it's true, how can I just joke about it."
"That's it. Go out and look around to see if there is a suitable pavement!" Steward Shi stretched out his hand and picked up Ren Baqian.
"Brother Shi, just look at it. As long as the location is good and the flow of people is large, the place doesn't need to be too big." Ren Baqian said helplessly, isn't it because he doesn't want to contribute to the partnership with Steward Shi
When Steward Shi left excitedly, Ren Baqian fell headlong on the bed again.
At three poles in the sun, Ren Baqian was woken up by the sound of "Zhi Zhi".
I thought it was a bird chirping, but when I opened my eyes and looked around, I realized that it was the two little guys who were chirping.
It was the first time that Ren Baqian knew that a panda's cry turned out to be like this, a bird-like sound.
Seeing that the bamboo basket lying on the side was already empty, and the two guys were eating the bamboo basket, Ren Baqian knew that the two little guys were hungry.
But when I was about to put on my shoes and go to the ground, I suddenly saw several disgusting footprints on the ground.
Two of them were stepped on when I came back last night, and several others were stepped on by Steward Shi in the morning.
Grinning his teeth, Ren Baqian went out from the house, found the handyman and asked where he delivered the grass and meat to the animal garden last night, and sure enough there were two baskets of bamboo leaves there.
I carried one in each hand, it was not light, and it seemed to be full.
Going back and pouring the bamboo leaves aside, he carefully cleaned up the excrement all over the floor.
I thought in my heart that it seemed that the two little guys should be let outside.
After breakfast, I had nothing to do and took a bath for the two little guys. It took a lot of effort to get myself completely soaked before washing the two struggling guys.
Bathing in this world uses a plant fruit called bath bean, which is really a bean, and you grab a handful and throw it into the water when you take a bath.
After taking a shower, I put the two little things on a clean slate, and it didn't take long for my whole body to dry out.
This time, I felt much more comfortable hugging the two little guys, and the original smell on my body also weakened a lot.
Rolling's two front paws pressed Ren Baqian's face, and pushed back vigorously.
Ren Baqian teased the two cubs for a while, then went to someone to get some deer milk to feed the two panda cubs.
Seeing the two cubs licking happily there, he also tasted the joy of keeping pets.
In the afternoon, I went around the animal garden to see those familiar or unfamiliar animals.
In the evening, Steward Shi came back, pulled Ren Baqian and said, "I still can't make up my mind, you have to go and have a look with me tomorrow."
Seeing what he said, Ren Baqian could only nod his head.
The next morning, steward Shi dragged him out of the bed and out of the zoo.
It's better in the morning, it's not as hot as the day.
This city is called Lancheng, and it was called Jiulan when Dayao was founded, but it was later changed to Dayao. This is how the city got its name.
The city is divided into nine districts, which are the names of the earliest nine villages.
Beihong, Zhulian, Shuiboping, Yingzuiyan, Goujiazhai, Wudaogou, Baishi, Shihu, Yiwulu.
Among them, the first six districts are mainly residential districts, while the last three districts are business districts.
Among them, the Baishi area is mainly for various weapons, farming tools, and ironware; the stone pot is mainly for leather trading; This is where Ren Baqian and Steward Shi went to buy food for the wild animals in the animal garden.
Of course, there are also a large number of residences in these three districts.
It's just that the stores are relatively concentrated.
The place where the court officials live is called Beihong District.
In addition, the street from the main city gate to Beihong District is called Jingyuan Road. The best shops are actually on this street, mainly foreign businessmen selling various commodities here, and there are also very few shops opened by locals.
Steward Shi found two bunks, one in Yiwulu, and the other in Goujiazhai, where his wife and children lived.
Accompanying Ren Baqian to visit the two places, the location is not bad, not particularly good, but shaved ice is the only thing at present, and he is not afraid of competition from others, so the location is slightly less than acceptable.
The most important thing is that these two shops are not expensive, each shop and the yard behind it add up to only a dozen silver a year.
Of course, this is not expensive according to Ren Baqian.
Steward Shi's errand is not bad, and his salary is only six taels a month.
This one shop requires Steward Shi's salary for two and a half months, and the two shops add up to less than half a year, and the cost of hiring people is even higher. No wonder he had to drag Ren Baqian to see it.
After all, his salary supports his wife and children, and even if he spends a few sips of wine, there is not much left. This time, he let Baqian do it because he was going to suppress his son's wife.
One of the two shops was occupied, but it was just about to evacuate.
Ren Baqian followed Steward Shi around the inside, the shop was about fifty or sixty square meters, in addition to the counter, there could be a few tables for passers-by to sit down, eat shaved ice and have a rest.
And the yard behind the shop is bigger than the shop, with a small room where people can live and things can be stored.
"Both of these are fine." Ren Baqian said to Guan Shi after the turn.
"Okay, this time my brother's wealth is all under pressure." Letting Baqian say this, Guanshi Shi immediately made a decision.
Afterwards, the two walked around the street again and enjoyed a street fight. Ren Baqian had his eyes on two more places, one of which was on Jingyuan Road, with the largest flow of people, and of course the rent was also expensive, nearly a hundred a year. two silver coins.
"It's too expensive, and you'll lose money selling shaved ice." Seeing that Ren Baqian was interested in the one-hundred-square-meter shop on Jingyuan Road, Steward Shi tried to persuade him.
"Only selling shaved ice is losing money, how about selling ice?" Ren Baqian suddenly thought of an idea.
"Sell ice? Can it work? And anyone who sees shaved ice can make shaved ice, but they don't have ice. If there is ice, what about our shaved ice shop?"
"Buying ice and going back to make it, and counting the melted ones, it's hardly profitable, so who would do it? And after eating the shaved ice, it should be hot or hot. If you buy a piece of ice and put it in the house, and put a fan next to it, it's simply a waste of time. It’s a simplified version of the air conditioner. That’s right, let’s do it this way.” Ren Baqian suddenly had an idea.
It is impossible to make an air conditioner now, is it not easy to make a simple fan? There is no need for electric power at all, just install the bearing, recover the rubber ring and the rope in the fan, and then pull the rope down, the fan will rotate accordingly, and the bearing will also drive the fan blades to rotate when you let go. It looks similar to the yo-yos that can be seen all over the street.
But this is much less energy than fanning, and it is much cooler. The most important thing is that this is something new, and many rich people will be interested in it.
Put a basin of ice in front, in such a high temperature place, absolutely enjoy it.
Even if you don't put ice, put a basin of well water, it is a cool tool.
"Hey, I want you to see the earth technology from the earth." The more Ren Baqian thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was feasible, and said with a slap in the face, "That's all, I still have some money, so let's invest in it first. Three shops are rented out. I’ll get something for you when I go back.”
As soon as Ren Baqian wanted to invest money, Steward Shi refused again and again: "Brother Ren, ice making is your way, but I can't let you invest money anymore. If you are sure, I will sell everything and rent this shop. "
Just as Ren Baqian was about to speak, he heard a chuckle beside him.
