According to this ratio, if all of her more than 40,000 points are converted into supplies and sold, she will get about 100,000 in cash.
In a few decades, a hundred thousand dollars in cash may not be a big deal.
But in this era where a household with ten thousand yuan is the top level, one hundred thousand yuan is enough to dazzle everyone.
But Su Xiaotian is not a short-sighted person.
She deeply understood that selling supplies was not cost-effective, and the best way was to open a restaurant and make a fortune.
Su Xiaotian opened the system mall panel and carefully looked at every product on it.
"They are all high-quality products. When my family opens a restaurant, I will be on track to make a fortune."
Su Xiaotian murmured to herself, with stars shining in her eyes.
She was lying on the bed thinking about how she should mention this to her grandparents.
Do they wonder if they think that they want to open a restaurant?
Su Xiaotian didn't know that Grandpa Su and Grandma Su were also discussing this matter at this time.
More than half of the old Su family are now in the capital, and the second elder feels that it is outrageous to always stay at Du Tonghe's house and cause trouble.
A family of more than a dozen people should have their own place to be considered a family. This is Grandma Su's deep-rooted idea.
"Old man, what do you think, let's buy a house by ourselves?"
Grandma Su has been planning this matter since she arrived in the capital.
After she arrived at the Du family's house and saw the Du family's courtyard house, she fell deeply in love with this house.
A courtyard house like Du's is really nice. It's very spacious, has a good layout, and has many rooms. It's even better than the old house in the Heart Brigade.
"What kind of house do you want to buy?" Grandpa Su asked casually.
He didn't stay in vain for the past two days and asked about a lot of things.
The first is the price of gold, the bank’s purchase price, which is 30 yuan per gram of gold.
When the old couple came, they brought two gold bars with them.
These two gold bars weigh four taels in total, which is equivalent to six thousand yuan in money.
In addition, I also brought two pieces of jewelry. The bank will not accept these two items, so I have to find other ways to sell them.
Therefore, Grandpa Su gave up the idea of selling jewelry for the time being and planned to sell the gold first.
"I like a house like the Du family. I don't know how much a house like this is worth." Grandma Su yearned for it.
Grandpa Su was obviously frightened by these words.
He glared at Grandma Su and looked at her in disbelief.
This old woman really dares to think that this is a house in the county town?
With their family’s financial resources, they still dare to think about buying a courtyard house?
"Why are you staring at me? Don't I think this house is just like our Hearts team's house?"
She really likes a big house with a yard.
I heard that it is now popular for people in the city to live in buildings, but she doesn't like buildings at all.
I'm so stingy, I don't even have a place to grow vegetables.
What's more, with such a big courtyard and many rooms, if the sons come here in the future, the whole family can live there.
"How dare you think."
Grandpa Su said this calmly.
"Aren't we selling enough?" Grandma Su asked in a low voice.
Grandpa Su shook his head.
"It's not enough. I've asked around, but the bank won't accept the jewelry. I have to find other ways. I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it for a while. Those two pieces total four taels, which can be exchanged for six thousand yuan."
Grandma Su stared at Grandpa Su in disbelief when she heard that two gold bars sold were not enough to buy the yard.
"Old man, is this house so valuable?"
Isn’t that yard in the county only a few hundred yuan?
This yard is bigger than that one, about one or two thousand, right?
"This is the capital, at the feet of the emperor, at the root of the imperial city. Not to mention a house like the Du family, even if it is smaller than this, you can't get it for even 10,000 yuan."
This is what Grandpa Su came up with during the past two days of chatting.
After hearing this, Grandma Su didn't dare to speak.
Ten thousand yuan, I bet you, is really an astronomical figure.
Their whole family may never earn so much money in their lifetime.
She is not stupid to spend 10,000 yuan to buy a yard!
After a long while, Grandma Su said: "Let's forget it! Let's rent a shop and open a breakfast restaurant later."
You can put the tables together as a bed at night and save money.
Grandpa Su glanced at Grandma Su who was very interested, and finally opened his mouth to give her a blow.
"I guess it will be difficult to rent a shop."
I didn’t even know how poor I was until I arrived in the capital.
"Can't there be six thousand?" Grandma Su asked.
Why can’t I rent a shop for 6,000 yuan?
"As a big family, if we want to rent, we can't just rent a shop, we also have to rent one with a yard." Grandpa Su said.
Isn't that right? The two old ones can use the table as a bed, but what will they do with so many dolls?
"Then rent one with a yard. It's just renting, not buying." Grandma Su said.
"I heard people say that the price of a paved yard is very expensive. Moreover, you have to pay a year's rent at a time and a deposit."
"Even if it's expensive, it's hard to find. We're not familiar with the place, so it's very difficult to find a shop like this.
When Grandpa Su said this, he felt very depressed. He still thought too simply.
I originally thought that if I arrived in the capital with just two gold bars, I would be able to live a better life no matter what.
Only now do I realize that it is not easy!
Grandma Su stopped talking.
The old lady suddenly felt a little regretful, wondering whether she should have come to the capital.
Why is it so difficult to live in Beijing?
Forget it if you can't afford to buy a house, you can't even afford to rent a shop.
Is it just possible to set up a street stall?
She is not afraid of getting up early and staying late at night, but setting up a stall is indeed hard work.
"Don't be anxious about this. We've just arrived, so we need to get used to it first."
Grandpa Su saw Grandma Su's depression and comforted her.
"Make me sad for a while!"
Grandma Su was indeed very depressed. She never expected that when she came to the capital in high spirits and did nothing, she found that her family was really pauper.
Grandma Su has always been a person who can quickly adjust her mentality and resurrect with full health.
But after more than ten minutes, Grandma Su laughed.
"Let's rent a small yard to live in. I go out with my cart every morning to sell breakfast. As long as the breakfast sales are good, we might be able to buy our own house after a while."
Grandpa Su didn't expect that Grandma Su could figure it out so quickly.
"Old lady, this is going to hurt you!" Grandpa Su said distressedly.
The old woman has been with him for decades and has never enjoyed any happiness. When she gets old, she still has to work hard to make money.
"Why is it so hard? Is it any harder than digging for food in the fields?" Grandma Su said indifferently.
Although setting up a stall to sell breakfast is hard work, it only lasts a few hours a day, and it is much better than farming under the sun.
Early the next morning, Grandpa Su told Chen Zian that he planned to rent a small courtyard to live in.
Du Tonghe disagreed no matter what he said.
He repeatedly asked, couldn’t the whole family live in such a big place at home?
Grandpa Su said with a smile: "We know what you mean, but we are embarrassed that the whole family lives here with you."
"There is no big family. The younger ones are in college and never come back. If they get admitted to No. 7 Middle School, the younger ones will also have to live on campus," Du Tonghe said.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su obviously didn't expect that the younger ones would also have to live on campus.
The two people were dumbfounded.
Since the children have to live in school, what's the point of them coming to the capital?
The two looked at each other, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say.
Liang Xiu was also dumbfounded. She never expected that the children would have to live in school.
"Father, mother, how about we go back?" Liang Xiu asked tentatively.
Their original intention was to take care of the children, but now that the children have to live in school, there is no point in them staying.
"Third sister-in-law, you even quit your job, what's the point of going back now?" Su Manxiu asked.
Liang Xiu also regretted it. If he had known this, he would have asked for a few days off, and now he would have a way out.
But at that time, she directly gave up her position to a relative of Factory Director Li's family, and even received a transfer fee of 200 yuan from them.
A small loss leads to a big loss!
It's just that it's too late to regret now!
"Liang Xiu, although Xiaotian and the others have to live on campus, they will still go home on weekends." Yu Ruiyuan said, holding Liang Xiu's hand.
Grandma Su laughed first: "That's right, we forgot such an important thing, we still have to go home on the weekend. We still have to live in the capital, and we still have to rent this house."
That's the good thing about the old lady, she can always make up her mind quickly and make the most beneficial decision.
Yu Ruiyuan said hurriedly: "I definitely want to stay, but don't rent the house. You can live in our house. Don't be polite. Our two families are just like one family."
Grandma Su was about to say something when Du Tonghe spoke again.
"When we, a couple, were in the Heart Brigade, your family took care of us for several years. Now we, the couple, want to repay you. How could you not even give us this opportunity to repay your kindness?"
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su were silent.
"Grandpa, my grandparents definitely want to do something in the capital. I can't just waste time living here with you." Su Xiaotian said with a smile.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su laughed on the spot.
Grandma Su said happily: "My dear baby still understands me! No, I plan to start setting up a stall to sell breakfast in two days."
This sentence made Su Xiaotian instantly dumbfounded. It was different from what she expected.
Why would grandma think about setting up a stall?
"Grandma, why do you want to set up a stall? Why don't we open a restaurant?"
After this question was asked, Su Xiaotian suddenly understood.
The family has no money, and the total money in the hands of grandparents is only a few hundred yuan, right?
Opening a restaurant, no matter how simple it is, costs thousands of dollars.
A look of confusion flashed across Grandpa Su's face, and he glanced at Su Xiaotian complainingly.
This kid, who seemed so smart before, why did he suddenly become stupid?
But he could only answer: "It's not that we can't find a suitable shop. Your grandma and I are just thinking about setting up a stall first and then slowly looking for a suitable shop."
This was originally a refusal, but in Du Tonghe's ears, it was no longer the case.
Du Tonghe laughed loudly, and then said: "This is your fault."
Grandpa Su didn't understand what Du Tonghe meant.
"You are new here. How can you find out on your own when you can find a shop?"
Du Tonghe obviously believed Grandpa Su's words and thought that the Su family really just couldn't find a suitable shop.
Grandpa Su said hurriedly: "There's no need to rush this matter, let's set up a stall to test the water first!"
Du Tonghe smiled and said: "Then how can it be the same? You heard me right about this matter."
"Yes, our ancestors were also in business, and Lao Du was also a good businessman when he was young!" Yu Ruiyuan also helped persuade.
At this point, Grandpa Su and Grandma Su had nothing to say.
"We'll go check out the shop this afternoon and make sure you're satisfied."
When Du Tonghe said this, he did not say clearly that he owned several properties, including shops and houses, and there were quite a few.
He estimated that if he said it was his shop, the Su family would definitely refuse.
Yu Ruiyuan didn't understand why Du Tonghe didn't just tell them that the shop belonged to their family and let the Su family choose as they pleased.
But she knew Du Tonghe, so it definitely made sense.
Grandpa Su hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Mr. Du, can you help us find a suitable store for a restaurant?"
"Of course. There is no place in the capital that I don't know about." Du Tonghe said this with great confidence, almost patting his chest to assure himself.
Sure enough, after lunch, Du Tonghe was busy taking the Su family to see the shops.
Chen Zian had something to do, so except for a few boys from the Su family who stayed to review, everyone else went to see the shop.
Su Xiaotian thought very highly of this shop, so she said that she had already reviewed it and wanted to go and have a look.
Everyone knows that Su Xiaotian is the smartest and the best at learning, so they let her follow.
"This shop belongs to an old friend of mine. He went back to his hometown during this time and asked me to help him check it out and rent it out if there is a suitable person. It happens that you are about to find a shop. Is this a coincidence?"
What they were looking at now was a two-story shop with a small area. The upper and lower floors combined were only about 140 to 50 square meters.
But the location is very good, and there is a lot of traffic around it. Su Xiaotian thinks it would be good to open a restaurant here.
However, the rent for a house in such an area should not be very cheap.
I don’t know how much money my grandparents have.
She does have money, but how to use it to support her grandparents is a problem.
Su Xiaotian even thought about whether she should secretly tell Grandpa Du to ask him to charge less rent, and she would subsidize the rest.
But after thinking about it again, I still feel that this is not appropriate.
Du Tonghe didn't know that she could make money, so instead of doing this, it would be better to give the money to grandma directly.
Anyway, after so many years, grandma has firmly believed that she is a child favored by God.
She even believed that the Dragon King would really give her money and gifts in a timely manner.
Although a private restaurant like Ding's Kitchen receives fewer customers every day and makes more money, it is because the family has the reputation of being a descendant of the royal chef.
Grandma Su's cooking skills are good, but she is not famous at all. She still needs to find a shop in a prosperous area to attract customers.
"The rent for a house like this is not cheap, right?" Grandpa Su looked at this two-story building and was indeed very satisfied.
There is a restaurant on the first floor and people can live on the second floor, which is suitable for their current situation.
But if the rent is too expensive, I'm afraid I'll lose money.
They are people from a small place. Although the old woman's cooking skills are good, this is the capital!
People in the capital city, at the root of the imperial city, at the feet of the emperor, what kind of good things have not been seen? Can they be used to the food of a small place?
If the restaurant opens and no one comes, the initial investment will be lost, which will be a huge loss.
The Su family has a weak foundation and cannot afford to pay!
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, this two-story building, the upper and lower floors combined, the monthly rent is 40 yuan!"
Du Tonghe weighed the price before saying.
He originally wanted to say ten yuan, but he was afraid that Grandpa Su and Grandma Su wouldn't believe it.
Although these two people come from the countryside, they are not stupid. The price they charge is too low and they are easy to be discovered.
But Du Tonghe didn't know that even if he had thought of this, the rent of forty yuan a month still aroused the suspicion of Grandpa Su and Grandma Su.
The old couple looked at each other and shook their heads slightly in confusion, expressing disbelief.
"Mr. Du, how is this possible? Even in our small county, it costs twenty or thirty!"
Grandpa Su looked at Du Tonghe in confusion. Did Mr. Du remember the price incorrectly?
Or is it because Mr. Du has been away from the capital in the past few years and doesn't know that the rent of the house has increased?
Du Tonghe was shocked, but it didn't show on his face at all, and he spoke seriously.
"Yes, that's the price. That's what my old friend said when we left."
When Du Tonghe said this, his tone was very firm, and it didn't look like he was telling lies at all.
Humph, the house belongs to him. Don't just charge forty every month. It's fine even if he doesn't charge any money every month.
Grandpa Su still had doubts, but seeing how solemn Du Tonghe said it, he was also hesitant to believe it.
"I heard it true, it's only 40 yuan a month!" Yu Ruiyuan now understood her husband's thoughts and said with a smile.
"At that time, Lao Wang also said that once he left, he never knew when he would come back. If he could rent it out, he could rent it out to make some money. If he couldn't rent it out, he could leave it alone. Anyway, there is no shortage of rent!"
"The biggest advantage here is that it is close to No. 7 Middle School, so it is easy for the children to come back."
After what Yu Ruiyuan said, Du Tonghe almost wanted to give her a thumbs up.
He didn't even have time to express his thoughts. In fact, he was always worried that Yu Ruiyuan wouldn't understand and would say the wrong thing.
Who knew that Yu Ruiyuan's words could touch the hearts of Grandpa Su and Grandma Su.
The couple looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
Su Xiaotian happened to see this scene, and she frowned in thought.
Is there really such a coincidence?
Isn't it too much of a coincidence?
Grandpa Du has not been back in the capital for long, so why did someone entrust him with help?
Suddenly, Su Xiaotian thought of a possibility, but she did not say it outright on the spot.
She glanced at Du Tonghe, who was familiar with the shop as if it were her own home, and became more and more sure of her idea.
Forget it, let's talk about it after we go back in the evening.
Liang Xiu also felt that the rent of this shop was too low, and she couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with it.
But she looked at it carefully and found that there was indeed no problem. Plus Du Tong and the couple said it was the house of old friends, so she felt at ease.
"Uncle Du, how many months do you have to pay the rent for this shop at a time?"
"Just pay it for one month at a time, and pay it before the tenth of each month." Du Tonghe did not dare to be careless this time.
The people in the Su family are all very smart. If they are taken care of and are found to be fishy, it will be difficult to explain.
Liang Xiu was still surprised when Du Tonghe said this: "But, I heard that it takes at least half a year to pay, and many of them take a year!"
"For those of you who don't know me, aren't you afraid that there will be problems? I don't know who you are? Can you run away?" Du Tonghe said matter-of-factly.
Su Xiaotian stepped forward, hugged Du Tonghe's arm affectionately, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, thank you! Where would I have found such a good shop without your help!"
Godfather is planning to repay his family's kindness.
If he didn't agree, I don't know how many ways my godfather would have to think of to persuade him to agree.
Du Tonghe laughed as expected: "Xiaotian is right, this is fate!"
The matter was settled that day.
With Su Xiaotian helping to explain Xiang, Grandpa Su, Grandma Su, Liang Xiu and others all believed it.
When Du Tong went back to his room to rest in the evening, he couldn't help laughing when he talked to the couple about this.
The couple had previously discussed giving this small building to the Su family to repay their kindness during the years of being in the Red Heart Brigade.
At that time, they were still thinking that with this small building to collect rent, the Su family would be able to live a richer life in the capital.
Unexpectedly, before they could send it out, the Su family decided to open a shop.
Therefore, he decided to rent the small building to the Su family. When he made money, he would charge a small amount of money and sell the shop to the Su family.
"Xiao Tian, you must have noticed it!" Yu Ruiyuan said with a smile on her face.
"It's okay to see it. Didn't this child persuade her grandma to accept it?"
After seeing this and accepting their kindness, the child finally got closer to them.
"Old man, tell me, what kind of gift should we prepare for Xiaotian? Xiaotian has been here for a while, and we haven't given her the gift yet!"
Yu Ruiyuan always felt a little embarrassed when she recognized a granddaughter and received nothing.
They just wanted to give the best to Su Xiaotian, but they all knew the character of Su Xiaotian, but they were afraid they would not accept it.
"There's no need to rush this matter. I've thought about it and will give her the courtyard house on East Street."
Yu Ruiyuan smiled and said, "I'm afraid this kid won't accept it."
"There is no need to tell her specifically. If your child wants to study, he will have to register the day after tomorrow. We will have the household registration and other information by then, so we can find an opportunity to register." Du Tonghe had already thought about it.
Therefore, Su Xiaotian already owned one of the courtyard houses she had longed to buy without her knowledge.
