What the middleman does is to connect buyers and sellers. It is impossible to run away in vain, and the price difference must be made from the middle. It is not said to be evil, this company from Tang Mingshan is famous for its kindness.
But no matter how kind you are, you still have to pay 10%!
He rented a shop, and was randomly given a few hundred dollars... In the past, Tang Mingshan didn't care about this little money, but now, his building is gone, and he only has this little money left, and there are still two children's marriages waiting to be arranged.
That's how it can save. He moved in his heart and immediately squatted.
"Where is your shop?"
When the man saw his inquiry, he became more and more interested: "Hongdou Street! There are ten shops in a row, the rent is cheap, you have to rent them all!"
Tang Mingshan didn't want to open a big restaurant. Even if he wanted to, he didn't have that much capital. Hearing this, he immediately backed down. What would he do with ten shops by himself?
The man said angrily: "My family is not short of this little money, but I can't stand it that they can take advantage of it without doing anything. If you are willing, I will rent it to you for the next five years and charge you a total of six taels of silver."
That’s fine.”
Tang Mingshan couldn't help but take a sip: "Why don't you go and grab it?"
The man seemed to have a bad temper, and immediately became annoyed: "That's three floors up and down, and it's like giving it away! If you don't rent it, you'll have to move it down!"
He waved his hand and wanted to get up and leave.
At this moment, Tang Mingshan thought a lot in his mind. If there were ten three-story shops as he said, that would be enough for anything. Even if he did nothing, he would just resell these shops and rent them out, and earn from them.
The price difference is quite a lot. Besides, if you tidy it up, you can open it into an inn, and then you can get your house back in a few years.
"Take me to see it."
A group of people took a trip and found that there were indeed ten three-story shops. They could see one from a distance. It was quite spectacular.
Tang Mingshan was filled with great pride. After going upstairs to check, he found that there were tables, chairs and beds in the store. He had previously opened a restaurant, and he could do business immediately after placing the order. He was cautious by nature and asked, "Why don't you do it?"
"I don't want to do it." The man waved his hand and said: "My father gave me this training, and he also said that he would give me a certain number of shops after I finished it. It turned out that he gave birth to several more sons outside. I can't continue to waste time here.
, I have to go home quickly and keep an eye on it. I can rent it to you, but the only thing is that this matter cannot be told outside. If anyone asks, just say that you are the shopkeeper I hired, and you are paid monthly. By the way.
, for another six taels, I will sell you all the contents inside. You can move out if you don’t want to rent it anymore."
Tang Mingshan felt happy immediately. Everything in the restaurant was not cheap. Where did this prodigal come from?
But then I thought about it, for ordinary people, the price difference of more than ten taels is a lot of money, but for a rich man, the amount of money he pays to his servants is more than this, and he has to eat so much for one meal.
The man in front of him looked like a prodigal son of a rich family who was squandering money. Tang Mingshan had no doubts in his heart, and there was a deed written in black and white. He readily gave the money.
Seeing the man's gorgeous carriage disappear at the corner of the street, Tang Mingshan looked at the large building behind him, waved his hand and said: "This man's life has been ups and downs, and he can't tell whether his fate is good or bad until the end. Now it seems,
Our building was sold, so we were destined to suffer this disaster, but luck came after the disaster."
He looked up at the eaves: "Qinghe, for such a big restaurant, you don't have to go out to find work in the future. You can just settle accounts at home. Next, we have to tidy up the inside. Then we go to Brother Li to borrow ten taels of silver...
... He is a bit harsh in pressing for debt, but it is easy to get money, so we should be more careful and we can open the business in two or three days at most."
Tang Qinghe thought so.
Tang Qianqian also went upstairs to take a look. The beds, tables and chairs there were very gorgeous, much better than those in the Tang family before. After hearing what her father said, she happily asked: "Dad, we will live here from now on."
in?"
Tang Mingshan nodded.
"Then I want to choose a house by myself." Tang Qianqian said with great interest: "I used to live on the first floor, and I had enough of it. There were insects and humidity inside. This time I want to live on the third floor. Opening the window at night is like watching a lantern show.
of."
Tang Qinghe agreed: "We are a restaurant, and there will definitely be drunk guests staying overnight. I will live next door to you to prevent any tenants from harassing you."
Jiang Huixin, who was in a bad mood, also became more lively: "Then I'll live on the third floor too!"
The whole family was enjoying themselves happily, and the haze and heaviness of the morning were no longer there.
Tang Mingshan thought of something and suggested: "Xiaoya has suffered so many years before. I didn't say it, but I feel sorry for her in my heart. Mother, go and let her come back to live."
Of course this is not true.
Xiaoya was so ruthless that Tang Mingshan wanted to stay far away from her in his dreams. The reason why he said this was because he was generous: I even let you live here, but you didn't come on your own.
Yes, even if he hasn't invited her yet, Tang Mingshan is already sure that Xiaoya won't come.
Most people in this world have the same idea. A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse. No matter how nice or gorgeous this place is, Xiaoya will definitely still be willing to live in her own yard, not to mention that her fiancé is next door. Also, she has already been there that day.
After putting down the words and ignoring Jiang Huixin, how could he come to stay?
Jiang Huixin could see his thoughts at a glance, but she didn't dare to refute, so she just agreed.
Tang Qianqian's eyes turned: "Mom, I will accompany you."

Chu Yunli is preparing for her trousseau recently. She goes to the street every three days to buy some things to bring back. Not to mention the better jewelry, just the exposed fabrics and furniture are already valuable things that no one in the alley can bear to buy.
.
On this day, she pulled another cart of fabric from outside. It was Shu brocade from the capital. This is the only batch every year. The material was fine and smooth, and it felt cool when worn on the body. It was very suitable for summer.
Chu Yunli took it back because she wanted to sell a batch of handkerchiefs to the cloth shop in the summer. She also thought that the neighbors in the alley were pretty good and wanted to find some embroidery work for them.
Seeing so many things, several sisters-in-law came over to help. They felt and returned them while asking the prices. They all felt that they had gained a lot of experience.
The atmosphere in the yard was getting lively when a carriage stopped at the door. Jiang Hui, with her heart wrapped in a thick cloth, opened the curtain and shouted: "Xiaoya, come here, I have something to tell you."
The injury on her head was severe, and she felt dizzy as she walked around. The louder she spoke, the more her ears and forehead hurt. Really, if Tang Mingshan hadn't insisted on making this trip, what would she have said?
Won't come either.
Chu Yunli was talking to a sister-in-law in a low voice about the difference between Su Jin and Shu Jin. She said without raising her head: "You can tell me, I can hear you."
Jiang Huixin was particularly happy when she thought about the three floors she rented. Even though the original Tang family had five rooms on the first floor, it was completely incomparable. Let's put it this way, the ten rooms must have three to five rooms in the Tang family.
It was so long. She cheered up and said, "We have rented a building as a restaurant. If you are willing to live there, I will leave a room for you there."
Hearing this, Chu Yunli looked over in surprise.
Looking into her daughter's eyes, Jiang Huixin said proudly: "I met a prodigal son and bought all three floors with only twelve taels, and the things inside still belong to us. Your father said, just those
Everything costs more than ten taels of silver."
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows, why did she not believe that such a good thing had happened to the Tang family?
"Okay, leave it to me. After I finish unloading these materials, I will find a carriage to come over. Hongdou Street, right?"
Jiang Huixin: "..." Are you really going?
She could see that Tang Mingshan did it on purpose. If this man really went there, he would not dare to say anything. He would definitely lose his temper when he turned around, and she would be unlucky then.
After so long, she finally understood some things. In Tang Mingshan's heart, she was the only one in the family of four. If Tang Mingshan was really angry and wanted to take action, he would just use force towards her.
The carriage stopped at the door, and Chu Yunli asked doubtfully: "Is there anything else?"
Before Jiang Huixin could say anything, Tang Qianqian took the lead and said: "Sister, that is my home."
Chu Yunli nodded: "Rented home!"
"That's better than your yard!" Tang Qianqian raised her chin slightly: "There are many beautiful beddings in it. The bed I chose is made of the same material as the one you moved down. You will know when you look back. But, early on
You said before that you don’t care about your mother’s life or death, would you be embarrassed if you really move back here?”
Jiang Hui secretly didn't want her eldest daughter to go, so even though she knew her younger daughter's words were inappropriate, she didn't stop her. She just pretended that she had a headache and couldn't hear.
"I'm so embarrassed!" Chu Yunli said plausibly: "I have done so much work for your family, and you people who have only known food and clothing and no work since childhood have the honor to live in it. What am I embarrassed about?"
When it comes to quarreling, Chu Yunli has never lost since she came.
Tang Qianqian's face turned green and white. Seeing that her two daughters were about to quarrel, Jiang Huixin hurriedly asked the coachman to set off.
True to her word, Chu Yunli thanked several neighbors after the materials were moved. She drove her newly purchased carriage to Hongdou Street.
There is only one three-story restaurant among the ten on Hongdou Street. Chu Yunli found the place after a little asking.
At the gate, there were five rows of people standing in front of Tang Mingshan. There were twenty people in each row, half men and women, all dressed neatly and cleanly. He stood at the top with his hands clasped behind his back, looking arrogant. He did not look this way.
It was as if Chu Yunli was not seen.
Tang Qianqian ran over: "Sister, dad is looking for someone. We have already calculated that in such a wide place, at least ten female waiters will be needed to deliver food, and eight people will be needed in the kitchen. From now on, I will be the same as at home.
I don’t have to work, if others look at me, they will call me “big girl!”
Having said this, he looked apologetic, but his eyes were full of pride: "I'm sorry, if you hadn't left, this girl should have called you."
Chu Yunli's face was pale: "I'm just glad that there wasn't such a wide space at home. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to sleep for two hours. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to finish all this work in twelve hours."
Just as he was talking, a green-covered carriage came flying towards him. Before it could stop, the curtain was opened, and a man in his forties who looked like a middle-aged manager sternly shouted: "Why are there so many people standing at the door of the restaurant?"
What do you want to do?”
Tang Mingshan saw that he should be the manager of a wealthy family, and smiled flatteringly: "This restaurant is about to open, and I am here to select people. I have just selected a chef with very good skills. Brother, remember to come here often when you have time.
I’ll give you free meal money.”
"What is about to open?" the steward said angrily: "My master just bought this building to be opened. Who asked you to open the door?"
