Chapter 62
This is also for safety, and she doesn't know much about this strange world.
Lin Yushu originally wanted Li He'er to follow him, but was rejected by Lin Yuzhu. If she couldn't handle anything well, Li He'er wouldn't handle it even better.
All the Creed Books were carried on me, and I walked slowly towards the alley. Not long after walking, I saw the gate of the Qian Mansion. The gate of the Qian Mansion was quite regular, and there were two house-controlling beasts placed at the gate. The vermilion copper nail door looked very grand. Compared with the copper nail doors of wealthy families, the gates of Qian's family were somewhat different, and the doors were much smaller than those of wealthy families.
He knocked on the small door on the side door and soon opened. An elderly man poked his head out of the door, looked up and down Lin Yuzhu and asked, "Who are you looking for, this lady?"
Lin Yuzhu paid special attention to dressing today. She was combed with a woman's hair bun. This is a very strict and concise city. She should not be as casual as in the village and county town. She said politely: "Please inform me that I am Lin from the newly rented Jucaixiang store. I want to meet Mr. Qian and talk about the lease."
The old man suddenly realized, "Then please wait, my wife, I'll report to the master now."
As for whether he could not see him or not, his duty was to report and he could not let others go into the mansion at will.
Lin Yuzhu waited patiently, but the door was opened again after a while. The old man asked Lin Yuzhu to enter the yard and slowly walked in front to lead the way.
This is the first time Lin Yuzhu has entered someone else's house. He walked around the screen wall and saw a small garden. Qian Mansion should have two in and two out of the layout. The front yard is not big, but each place is very exquisitely designed, with a rockery pool.
He was taken into the flower hall by the old man and waited.
"I'll ask my wife to have tea and wait for a while, and the master will come soon." The old man left after he said that.
Lin Yuzhu sat on the chair and looked around. This behavior seemed impolite. The maid wearing a floral cotton jacket poured out hot tea. Lin Yuzhu did not pick it up and drink it, but sat in a regular manner.
After a while, a middle-aged man wearing light blue satin cuffs embroidered with auspicious patterns entered the house. The middle-aged man looked honest and kind-hearted. Lin Yuzhu guessed that this should be Mr. Qian, so he quickly stood up and said, "You are Mr. Qian."
Mr. Qian was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that the one who came to find him was a young lady.
Lin Yuzhu sat down and said, "Did you rent a shop from the porcelain shop owner?"
He always knew that the porcelain shop owner wanted to rent the store, but he never asked about it just because he understood that the porcelain shop owner was not easy to do business these days, and he could understand that he wanted to sublet some money after losing money.
But I didn't expect that the new tenant was a young lady, and I couldn't help asking, "Did you come here to renew your contract?"
After all, the store only expires for one year, which is a troublesome thing, and it is reasonable to be found by Lin Yuzhu.
Lin Yuzhu smiled embarrassedly and said, "To be honest, I'm sorry to bother Mr. Qian today, for the purpose of renewing the contract. We rented the shop to open a noodle shop. We are all satisfied with the store inside and outside. We can afford the rent of nine taels of silver a year. But the year is too short. I thought that if Mr. Qian is willing, we can renew the contract in advance, so it's more at ease."
She is willing to rent a noodle shop for a long time, and it is understandable that it will definitely make money.
Take a step back and even if she doesn't make money, she still has a way to make use of the shop, and she doesn't worry about losing money at all.
Mr. Qian kept nodding and pondering. After Lin Yuzhu finished speaking, he said, "It doesn't matter if the store is renewed to you, but I need long-term tenants. I have many shops in the city. I don't like to always change the shops. If you can rent them for at least five years, I can renew the shops to you."
At least five years? Lin Yuzhu was very happy when she heard this. This did not fit her idea. Perhaps other people would be worried about whether to make money in the future. She didn't consider this issue at all, because the noodle restaurant in Jucai Lane would definitely make money.
There was a hint of surprise in her tone: "We also wanted to rent for a long time, so we came to find Mr. Qian. To be honest, my brother and sister-in-law rented the store to do business. Our family is really not very thoughtful. We can promise to rent the store for at least five years. As for the rent issue, I don't know how Mr. Qian asked for it."
Since you have signed the contract again, you must ask the rent issue clearly, which is the top priority.
Mr. Qian stretched out a finger and said, "Ten taels of silver a year. Of course, you rented nine taels of silver from the porcelain shop owner for a year. This is a transaction between you. The porcelain shop owner and I have a bit of a relationship with each other. I took special care of him to make nine taels of silver a year. If you want to rent ten taels of silver a year, I can also promise that the rent will not increase even after the five-year period expires."
Lin Yuzhu thought for a while and could accept ten taels of silver a year. After all, the courtyard could meet all her requirements. Now braised pig miscellaneous rice can earn more than one tael of silver a day. They can afford the rent for ten taels, but the rent is not given now.
However, she is good at doing business and pays special attention to many details: "The contract must be added, if the five-year period expires, the rent cannot increase and is given priority to rent it to us."
Priority is very important, and she values this very much, and she is afraid that Mr. Qian will go back on his word and must pay attention to what he should do when doing business.
This is the first time Mr. Qian heard the word priority and said inexplicably: "Madam, can you explain what priority means?"
Lin Yuzhuzai explained carefully and said, "It's just an extra constraint. If we want to rent a shop in five years, Mr. Qian must give priority to meeting our needs."
Mr. Qian had no objection to this and promised: "As long as you don't deliberately damage the store and get along well with your neighbors, there is no problem."
Speaking of neighborhood relations, Jiang Youcai immediately flashed through Lin Yuzhu's mind, feeling the need to explain: "When it comes to neighborhood relations, there is something I have to talk to Mr. Qian."
In order to avoid trouble in the future, she roughly told about the matter between her and Jiang Youcai.
Mr. Qian frowned and said, "Then you don't have to worry about Jiang Youcai. He is just a rogue. The shop in Jucai Lane doesn't like him. He also told you that the calligraphy and painting shop was not opened because the boss was going home. In fact, it was not. He wanted to raise the rent without reason, and directly raised it to twelve taels of silver in one go. People were unwilling to rent the store, so they were empty. He was worried that no one would rent the store and deliberately released news that the store was going to return home and did not dare to say twelve taels of silver. The nine taels of silver required would only know what trouble would be when someone rented it."
Lin Yuzhu was shocked when she heard this and secretly thanked that she had not rented the store. If she really wanted to rent it, she would probably come to find fault every few days, and said gladly: "We have escaped a disaster when we say so."
