235 Inspection
The carpenter listened with a smile and took out a notebook to record some important information.
After Mother Jian finished, he repeated, “What you need… This is it, right?”
Mother Jian nodded.
“Okay, then you pay a deposit of ten taels of silver first. After the shelf is done, it will take about a month. When that time comes, you can ask again.”
Mother Jian took out ten taels of silver to him and closed the deal. She was not as nervous as before. Finally, she remembered the purpose of coming here. She held the words in her mouth for a while, finally, she asked, “Boss, I heard that your shop is going to be sold? Is it true?”
The carpenter looked at her for a while, making her extremely nervous.
Finally, the boss spoke. He nodded and said, “There is such a thing. My shop is too big. I don’t need such a big shop. I want to change to a smaller one. Why, Madam, do you want to buy it?”
Now that the question had been asked, Mother Jian was not so afraid anymore. She nodded and said, “I do have such an idea. I want to open a snack shop. I want to see which shop is more suitable.”
“Then my shop is pretty good. It’s big enough and has a backyard. There are many people coming and going on this street every day. If you want it, I can give you a discount.”
Mother Jian rejected shyly, “I’ll look at other shops first. If I want it, I’ll tell you when the time comes.”
The boss did not care too much. He nodded and said, “That’s fine. You go and take a look first. I’m not in a hurry to sell. If you want it, you can tell me when the time comes.”
Mother Jian heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, she was embarrassed to refuse. If the shop owner had asked a few more questions just now, she might have bought it.
“Alright, then I’ll go and take a look at the other shops first. Thank you, Boss.”
“Go ahead. Goodbye, Madam.”
After saying goodbye to the carpenter shop owner, Mother Jian went to the next shop. With experience, this time, she was not as scared as before. She walked in slightly leisurely.
After spending the whole morning, Mother Jian went to five shops and looked at the layout of each shop.
She looked at the sky and saw that it was already noon. She returned to the shop of Mother Liu Happily.
“Qingqing’s Mother, how is it?” Mother Liu asked with a smile.
“I’ve looked at five shops. All of them are pretty good. I’ll go to the remaining ones in the afternoon. I’ll go back and ask Big Sister which one to choose when I go back in the evening.”
Seeing that Mother Jian was in a good mood, Mother Liu also smiled and said, “Qingqing is obviously a capable child. There’s no mistake in asking her! You will enjoy a good life in the future!”
Mother Jian was also very happy that her daughter was praised. She smiled shyly and said, “Your Little Rong is also pretty good. Not only did he open a shop for you, but he also went to school. His days will get better and better!”
Speaking of children, the two women looked at each other and smiled. Mother Liu said, “Come with me quickly. I have made delicious food. You can go and do your work after eating!”
Mother Jian followed her into the restaurant. There were already a few small dishes that were prepared on the table.
They ate and chatted. Mother Jian said, “Big Sister taught me a few fresh desserts. She called them desserts and used very expensive ingredients. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to sell them. Big SIster asked me to take them to the restaurant and inn to try them out. Do you want to sell some here? I’ll give you a discount. You don’t know how delicious the desserts are! I’m sure it’s something you’ve never eaten before! Do you think it’ll work?”
Mother Liu smiled and said, “Sure! Why not? I’m supposed to sell desserts too. Those customers always like to eat desserts before they eat. If they want to buy desserts from anyone, then I’ll just buy them from you in the future.”
