"Why?" Jiang Yuan just asked routinely. She didn't plan to rent it. It would be too uneconomical to rent it.
"I originally didn't plan to start a business again, but I thought about it yesterday. I plan to open a grocery store. I need money urgently, so I have to sell this butcher shop."
"How much do you plan to sell it for?"
"Two thousand taels!"
"too expensive."
When Jiang Yuan heard the price, he felt it was too expensive. He didn't know it at first. He had bought a medical clinic before and got acquainted with the approximate price of the shop here. The price he wanted was really a bit expensive.
Moreover, this shop is much smaller than a medical clinic, and its location is far inferior to that of a medical clinic.
"My place is a good place. Look at the people coming and going, and it's in the middle. Aren't you going to sell pork in the future? I have it all ready-made, and it saves you the trouble of repairing it."
"Fifteen hundred taels, no more. If you don't sell it, we will look for someone else."
Seeing Jiang Yuan was about to leave, the shopkeeper quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Don't you think about it?"
"What are you considering? You have no idea whether it's expensive or not?"
"One thousand eight hundred taels!"
"Second uncle, let's go."
"Don't go, don't go. I promise you, can't you! Alas, if my butcher shop's business wasn't so bad and I couldn't make ends meet, I wouldn't want to sell it."
Jiang Yuan looked at the flies on his pork and pursed his lips...
It’s no wonder this business is not bad.
It would be fine if this was in the county town. After all, there are only four butcher shops in the county town, and they can still make some money...
But here in Songjing, there are hundreds of butcher shops. If you don't run them carefully, it's easy to have no customers at all.
On the way here, Jiang Yuan saw seven or eight butcher shops on Tunguan Street.
Just this small street!
The shopkeeper was just about to ask for Ya Lang, when Ya Lang came over.
"Shopkeeper Ge, I've found the shop you asked me to find for you. Do you want to go and have a look now?"
"You came just in time. I need you right now. I also sell a shop. You draw up a contract."
"Ouch, it's too late over there. The shopkeeper over there said they're closing early today, so just wait for a while."
"Can't you sign it tomorrow?"
"What if someone else buys it tomorrow? The store is in short supply!"
"This..." Shopkeeper Ge glanced at Jiang Yuan and hesitated.
Jiang Yuan was about to say that they were also anxious, but shopkeeper Ge said: "You guys, help me take a look at the shop first. Aren't you selling pork too? Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
After that, he ran away without waiting for Jiang Yuan to agree.
If they hadn't paid him yet, Jiang Yuan would have felt that he had been deceived.
Jiang Yuan looked at the counter and was a little reluctant to do anything.
"Just wait here, there aren't many guests anyway."
Jiang Yuan found a seat in the shop and sat down, while Mu Er used a fan to ward off flies.
After a while, a customer actually came.
Jiang Yuan picked up the knife and looked at the meat on the counter. The meat on the counter was fresh meat and overnight meat put together.
Others may not be able to see anything, but she is also a pork seller, so she naturally knows it very well.
The business of this butcher shop is poor, so the pork will be left over. The remaining pork will be sold the next day. The old and new meat will be sold together. How can the business be good?
Jiang Yuan was afraid that others would be spoiled by the food. It was already more than April, and in this weather, meat would easily go bad if left out overnight.
