Out of the shop, Li Mo took a deep breath.

It's still early. Before Song Dashan came to pick him up, Li Mo had no place to go, so he just wandered around the street.

The landlady's people don't like her so much that she can't go back to the shop. Otherwise, neither she nor the landlady can live in peace. It seems that some things have to be put on the agenda.

Li Mo takes an eye to Piao road both sides while walking, want to see if have vacant shop.

Originally, she planned to open her own shop after Song Dashan's legs were completely healed, but now it seems that this matter has to be advanced.

As a matter of fact, it's appropriate to open her own shop at this time. First, the magistrate has given her 100 liang of silver, and there is a little money left in the family. It should not be a problem to buy a shop. Second, she has been working in the boss's shop for such a long time. Many people know her and have accumulated a number of old customers, Even if she runs her own shop, she won't worry about having no customers. Third, she will be safe. Now that she knows Sima Haoran, she won't worry about having her shop attacked by others.

The time is right, the place is right and the people are right. The problem now is to see if we can find a suitable shop.

Li Mo walked around the streets of the town, and his legs hurt. At last, he saw a vacant shop which had not been used for business at the end of the street. Li Mo estimated that the location of the shop was not good enough, and it was not lively enough, so it was not bought or rented.

Although the location is not good enough, there is no other shop to choose from, so Li Mo still plans to ask about the situation of this shop first.

After wandering around the front door of the shop for a long time, there was not even a note on the door, and there was no contact information of the owner at all. Li Mo thought that he had missed it, and he didn't see it after looking for it several times in a row, which was the real confirmation.

No way, Li Mo had to go to the next door of the shop and ask the boss next door.

As a result, Li Mo found that the shop next door was selling incense, paper money and other things.

Li Mo suddenly realized that the reason why this shop is vacant is not only the geographical location is not good enough, but also the important reason is that the shop next door. Ancient people always pay attention to good luck in business. Naturally, they don't want to be neighbors with shops selling things from the dead. They think this is rather taboo.

However, as a modern man, Li Mo doesn't believe in feudal superstition at all, and doesn't think that selling incense paper money is a taboo. He doesn't need to care about this. So he directly stepped in and asked someone who didn't know whether it was the boss behind the counter: "boss, I want to ask, do you have any address left by the owner of the shop next door? I want to find him, but I don't know how

The man behind the counter smell speech, eyes slightly open big, looked back and forth Li Mo two eyes, this just uncertain ground asks a way: "do you want to do business?"

Li Mo nodded, "yes, I want to do some small business. I see the shop next to your house is empty, so I come to ask."

The man smell speech eyes open a little bit again, the Mou son contains some kind of inquiry, it seems that don't quite believe Li Mo's words.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Li Mo asked again, "boss, have you heard from the owner of the shop next door? If not, the little woman will not be disturbed. "

The boss saw that Li Mo really wanted to find the owner next door. He lowered his suspicions and said, "madam, you can watch the shop next door. This place is not very busy, and it's next to my shop. You should think about it carefully."

Li Mo said with a smile: "thank you for your kind words. I just want to ask. I'm not sure whether to buy it or not."

The boss looked at what Li Mo said, but he nodded and continued: "this shop next door, people don't rent it, they only sell it. And it's a whole sale, not just a facade. "

Li Mo doesn't understand: "what a whole sell?"

The boss explained, "there is a yard behind the shop and a room for people. Just in front of the business, back when the home to use, the owner of the house said, to sell together, sell more than one shop. In this way, the price of the house is not cheap. Originally, the location of the place is not good, and it is inconvenient for people to live. Many people wanted to do business, but when they heard that they wanted to buy the house in the back, they beat the drum. You should think about it carefully. "

The boss has been doing business here for many years and knows everything about the situation next door. The house next door was originally the owner's own business, selling cloth, but this position is really not good, the business can only barely make ends meet, the husband and wife for many years, now old, the son also bought a new shop in other places to start a business, closed the shop here, went to the son there to bring his grandson, so he wanted to sell the house here.

Unfortunately, the location of this shop is really not good, and the houses in the back have to be sold together, so no one wants to ask, and none of them have been bought. Today, there are no more people to ask.

But I didn't expect that one came today, and it was a woman's family. How is it possible for this woman's business to continue here? It's no use asking.

The boss thought that Li Mo couldn't buy the shop, but he didn't know that Li Mo's heart changed a little at this time.Originally, Li Mo wanted to move her family to the town. Otherwise, every day she would have to run from one end of the village to the other. It's really inconvenient to live in the village. Besides that she doesn't like the short atmosphere of the East and West parents in the village, what's more, there's song Dashan's mother's family in the village. She doesn't feel comfortable every time she sees their eyes She still likes to live in town.

Originally, she was worried that she couldn't find a suitable house in the town. She also thought that if she could only buy a shop, she would slowly look for the house. However, she didn't expect that there was a house behind the shop, and she wanted to sell it together. This was a surprise for her.

Li Mo pressed down the light joy in his heart and said to the boss, "boss, if the price of the house is reasonable, I can also consider buying it together. Do you know the specific price?"

The boss thought about it and shook his head. "I don't know the price now. You'd better ask the owner's house face to face. In this way, I know where his house is now. Go and ask."

Li Mo smiles and thanks to the boss: "boss, thank you very much."

Li Mo came out of the shop and looked at the time. He was surprised to find that song Dashan had come to pick her up earlier than usual. He was a little worried. He was afraid that he would not find him. He hurried to the landlady's shop.

"Lady!"

A cry made Li Mo stop. Looking up, it was song Dashan who was driving a donkey cart in the distance.

Song Dashan hurriedly drives the donkey cart to Li Mo, jumps down from the car, grabs Li Mo's shoulder and scans up and down. His eyes are full of worry.

Li Mo knew that song Dashan should be worried. He immediately threw himself into his arms and apologized: "sorry Dashan, I forgot the time and worried you. Have you been looking for a long time?"

Song Dashan didn't say that he was going to be crazy. He just held Li Mo's arm tightly and said, "if you're OK, if you're OK, let's go home."

The street is not a place to talk, Li Mo didn't say anything, followed song Dashan on the donkey cart.

When I got home, Li Mo told me everything about the boss's shop today. Then he said, "when I came out, it was still early. I wanted to see if there was a suitable shop. In the future, I can't go to the boss's shop to make up. Otherwise, the boss can't explain to the family. It's just that we have to find a shop in advance. We had planned to go there You can't start your own shop until your legs are completely ready. "

Song Dashan didn't say much when he heard the speech. He just touched Li Mo's cheek. "In this case, let's open a shop ahead of time. I'll go with you to find the family you talked about today. You don't want to be alone. I don't worry."

Li Mo nods.

The next day, after Song Dashan finished pulling people in the morning, he took Li Mo to the place that the boss said in the afternoon.

Li Mo got out of the car, went to the door, knocked on the door, and then yelled at the empty yard, "is there anyone? Is anyone home? "

After a while, a little boy rushed out of the room with a runny nose and bubbles. When he saw Li Mo, there was a trace of fear and curiosity in his eyes. He asked tentatively, "who are you looking for?"

Li Mo said softly, "I've come to see your family. Is there anyone in your family?"

The little boy saw that Li Mo was beautiful and gentle. He was afraid that he would disappear. He nodded and pointed to the room, "someone, I'll call!" After that,

ran into the room and cried, "grandma, someone is looking for you!"

Soon after the little boy finished shouting, a woman came out of the room. She was about forty or fifty years old. She was not old enough. She saw Li Mo and song Dashan standing at the door, her eyes flashing alert, and asked, "are you looking for me? What can I do for you

Li Mo didn't go in, but stood at the door and said, "aunt, is that shop at the end of the West Street yours? Next door is the one selling incense

The woman's eyes changed when she heard the words. Her vigilance disappeared a lot. She turned to a faint joy. "Do you want to buy a shop?"

Li Mo nodded: "yes, I want to ask the specific situation of your shop, and then have a look."

Although Li Mo only said to have a look, the woman's expression was still very happy. She was busy greeting Li Mo and song Dashan and said, "please come in and have a cup of tea."

After entering the room, the woman quickly made two cups of tea for song Dashan and Li mo. then she sat down and asked, "do you want to do business?"

Li Mo said: "I want to buy a shop and do some small business by myself, so I see your shop. So I come to ask, madam, can you take us to the shop?"

The woman nodded, "this is of course. I must see the house first. If you are free now, I will show you."

Li Mo naturally agreed.

Song Dashan drove the donkey cart to the shop with Li Mo and her little grandson.

Li Mo looks at the shop carefully. It has a large area inside, larger than that of the landlady's shop, but the walls are a little mottled. It seems that it's many years old, and it should not have been decorated for many years.

Seeing Li Mo looking at the wall, the old woman said, "this shop has been in business for many years, but the business is not good. You must know the reason, so we didn't spend money to decorate it. We haven't lived in it in recent years, so it's a bit shabby."Li Mo didn't say anything, but said: "I heard that your house is sold with the house in the back. I want to see what it looks like in the back."

The woman's eyes brightened, and quickly took Li Mo back.

As soon as you go out the back door, you will see a small yard. There are two big trees in the yard. A rope is tied between the trees. It is used to dry clothes. There is a well under the tree. Beside the well, a pool is built to wash clothes.

There are three bedrooms, a kitchen and a toilet in the back. The furniture in the house is empty, it seems very empty, but the area is not small, and the walls are not too old. If you want to live, you just need to decorate it, and it won't be too hard.

Seeing this, Li Mo is basically satisfied. Next, it depends on the price.

Li Mo has no other facial expression on the surface, let a person not see is satisfied or dissatisfied, pondered for a long time and then asked: "aunt, don't know how do you sell this room?"

Looking at Li Mo asking the price, the woman is still happy.

Her shop has been sold for several years, but it hasn't been sold. She is also worried. No one has asked for it in the last year. Now it's not easy for her to come here and ask for the price. Anyway, there is always hope to sell it.

The woman thought about it in her heart, looked at Li Mo and song Dashan, and said, "this shop, 150 Liang."

Li Mo hears speech, temporarily did not speak.

To tell you the truth, in this position, the price is not low. However, it should be said by the woman when she goes higher. There must be room for counter-offer.

Seeing that Li Mo didn't speak, the woman looked a little puzzled and said, "although the location of my shop is not good, the area is large and the back is spacious. It's very convenient to do business in the front and live in the back."

Li Mo looked at the wall, pursed her lips and said: "madam, the location of your shop is really not very good, and the next door is still engaged in the business of candlelight and paper money. It's not lucky. Instead, your shop is too old and you have to spend money to decorate it. It's another expense. Your price is too high. "

The woman looks a little embarrassed. In fact, she knows that her shop is not in a good position and is not suitable for business. The most troublesome thing is the shop next door. But what can she do to let people go?

The woman thought about it and said with a strong heart, "in fact, if you really want to buy it, you can make it cheaper."

Li Mo did not show a happy look, song Dashan also silently did not speak, all by Li Mo as the master.

Li Mo wandered around again, and finally he said to the woman, "you shop, I can offer 120 Liang at most. Aunt, do you think it's ok?"

Li Mo cut off thirty Liang at once. The woman was a little confused and didn't want to, but she missed the buyer and couldn't sell it in the future. She didn't want to refuse.

All in all, it's tangled.

Li Mo also saw the woman's hesitation and said with a smile: "madam, would you like to go home and discuss with your family, and we'll talk about it in two days?"

The woman didn't know what to do. She thought about going back to discuss with the old man and his son, nodded and agreed, "OK, I'll go back to discuss with my family and give you a reply in a few days."
