What Su Yizhao said was true, but when Shopkeeper Qin heard it, it turned into angry words or even threats.
His face changed drastically, "Master Su! Why do you take this so seriously? It was because of your absence before that I had no choice but to..."
Su Yizhao quickly interrupted Shopkeeper Qin, "Shopkeeper Qin misunderstood. It's not that I have any resentment in my heart, but that the future development of this business may not be so profitable. I told you this before."
Shopkeeper Qin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You did say that our business is indeed not as good as before, but that's because there are more people writing short stories. That's why our Honglin Bookstore needs people like you, Master Su."
What a talent!”
"The stories you wrote are novel and the plots are very exciting. Everyone has been looking forward to it. Even if they buy other people's novels, they still have to ask you when they will publish the book every time. If you don't write it, it will be a shame.
What a sigh!"
Shopkeeper Qin has tasted such great benefits, how could he give up?
Seeing how anxious shopkeeper Qin was, Su Yizhao sighed.
"The shopkeeper also knows the situation in my house. If things go on like this, paper will not keep the fire. If word spreads and hinders the Su family's reputation, I will also be severely fined, and it may even affect my future career."
Seeing that Su Yizhao insisted on this, shopkeeper Qin also knew that there was no room for change in this matter, and he could not force it.
"Oh! Then please think about it again, Master Su. In your spare time, you can publish a few villain books."
No wonder Su Yizhao looked at the account books so casually just now, because he was thinking of disbanding the company soon.
It’s more than less, but I don’t want to pursue it. Shopkeeper Qin was very sad. In fact, it was Su Yizhao who pulled him out in the first place, otherwise how could he have such a good life now?
"I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future. Shopkeeper Qin should also make plans early!"
Su Yizhao put his purse in his arms and had enough money.
Shopkeeper Qin's heart moved, "Master Su, does he have other ways of making money? If there is no one available, I can help you!"
Su Yizhao had thought about it before. In fact, shopkeeper Qin was a pretty good person, and he couldn't say anything to death.
"Currently, the most important thing is to raise the business. If there is a suitable one, I might really need to ask the shopkeeper for help."
These words immediately softened shopkeeper Qin's expression. Su Yizhao was so smart, he might have other ways of earning money.
This meant that he didn't mean to refuse, and he felt slightly relieved.
After coming out of Honglin Bookstore, Su Yizhao rushed to the yard on Dongma Lane without stopping.
"Master! You are back. I have caught two and brought them to you. Take a look! Do they meet your requirements?"
Zhu San had already received the news from his attendants and knew that Su Yizhao was back, so he specially waited in the courtyard.
Su Yizhao looked at the chickens, took one of them, weighed it in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad! It's almost two pounds, a little bigger than expected." Su Yizhao felt that his small business could start to be implemented.
"The shop I asked you to rent last time should be cleaned up. We will start doing business in the next few days. Are the remaining chickens this big?"
"Half of the chickens are this big. The other chickens are from later batches, some are slightly smaller, and some are still chickens! I calculated, there are about thirty or forty chickens this big!"
Su Yizhao frowned, "It's still too little! Did you feed it according to my method?"
"I must have followed your instructions. Although the second batch is not as big, it is not much different."
Zhu San scratched his head. The chickens had been eating well in the past two months. All the vegetables grown in the fields were eaten by the chickens.
"How many are there in the second batch?" Su Yizhao asked impatiently.
"It's about the same number. I caught a few and weighed them, and they all weighed more than a pound and a half."
Su Yizhao nodded, actually it was almost the same.
"By the way, sir, I heard news that the owner of the shop we rented over there said he wants to sell it! Will our shop be affected? What will happen if the new owner doesn't recognize what we rented?"
Want to sell? Su Yizhao was immediately overjoyed. He was so sleepy that his pillow came over him!
She was also worried that when business in the shop improved in the future, the owner would raise the rent or refuse to rent to them. Wouldn't this be a good idea?
It was an open shop with two rooms. The space inside was quite large and the location was very good.
Su Yizhao felt that he couldn't get it without four or five hundred taels.
After all, it is a shop, not a house. The shop has such a small area, less than half of the one in the courtyard, but the price is much more expensive than the one in the courtyard.
"Why are you selling it? What can you find out?" Su Yizhao asked with some confusion.
"It is said that my son is doing business in the south, and they are going to settle down in the south. The shop is not small, and there is a small yard behind it, so it was also sold."
Zhu San knew that his young master would definitely ask about it, so he had already inquired about it. In fact, he felt that the young master wanted to save money to buy a shop.
Su Yizhao's eyes lit up, isn't this just right?
The backyard can be used as a small workshop where ingredients can be made and someone can stay to look after the shop.
But if the small courtyard behind it is to be sold, the price of this shop will have to be much higher.
"How much silver do you need?" Su Yizhao was very excited and asked.
"I asked someone to ask, and they said it cost six hundred and thirty taels."
Sure enough, it’s very expensive!
"Then the master's family hasn't come to see you?"
Su Yizhao thought that it was Zhu San who had rented the shop before. If the owner wanted to sell the shop, the first person who thought of it should be Zhu San.
At this point, Zhu San snorted coldly, "I've found it! This man is so dishonest. His price is six hundred and seventy taels, which is forty taels more than what others asked!"
"That is indeed dishonest. We can't let him take advantage!" Su Yizhao nodded and said.
"We have rented the shop for more than two months. I heard that the owner took people to see the shop and claimed that it was not rented out, so I was worried that he would cause damage."
Su Yizhao frowned, then this person really had too many tricks.
"Maybe he thought he was leaving the capital soon, so he could deceive one another. We have a lease contract and have it filed with the government. There is no need to worry about it. We just changed the owner's house. If there is a commotion, it will be unavoidable.
It’s a bit ugly!”
Some time ago, the family suddenly asked her to follow her to the ancestral site to worship her ancestors, which disrupted her plan, otherwise the shop would have been opened long ago.
Originally, she planned to sell spicy hotpot during the day and barbecue at night.
This business was novel. She went to Beiyuan Mansion and left Zhu San and the others in charge. She was not at ease, so she did not open the business.
Now that the chickens are almost grown, we need to open a room.
"I've seen the days, and the day after tomorrow is auspicious, so we'll choose that day to open the business. Have you trained those women and waiters?"
Su Yizhao gave Zhu San the spicy hotpot and barbecue recipes before leaving, and later bought a new group of people just to make a living.
