After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 192: Opening a Branch (2)

Suddenly there was a calculation in my heart.

Jiang Xiaohe walked around the room again and clapped her hands. "Boss He, to be honest, if the tables and chairs in this room were all good, I wouldn't bother talking about the price you mentioned. But you see, the tables and chairs in this room are basically missing parts. Look up at the beams, they are full of worm holes. If I don't buy them, I'm afraid that in two years, this room may collapse."

Boss He naturally understood in his heart. After all, he knew the specific situation of the house very well. Most importantly, he also wanted to sell the house as soon as possible. After all, it had been in his hands for so long. The owner of the shop left in a hurry and asked for a low price. He only spent a few dozen taels to buy it. Now it is rare that there is a buyer who is interested in it. As long as the original cost is recovered, he will sell it!

"Then how much are you willing to give, ma'am?"

Jiang Xiaohe thought about it and made a 7 with her fingers.

"Boss He, I didn't mean to lower your price. The truth is that the shop is quite old and has not been renovated in these years. I took it and made drastic changes. It must have cost more than 30 taels of silver. You also know that the most important thing in doing business is the cost investment. If the cost investment is too high, I don't know when I can get my money back, right?"

Boss He frowned, shook his head slightly, and bargained, "Madam, give me a little more. I'll tell you the truth. I bought this house for 78 taels of silver. You're giving me 70 taels. I've already lost money. I've also taken other people to see this shop over the years. You can't let me lose too much, right?"

After saying that, he winked at Shopkeeper Chen, meaning that he wanted Chen Dafu to help say a few words, but how smart was Chen Dafu? Since he was bought by Jiang Xiaohe, he naturally would not dig a hole for his master, so he just pretended not to see it.

Boss He looked at Jiang Xiaohe again.

Jiang Xiaohe hesitated for a few seconds: "But Boss He, this price is really the price I have in mind. If we can't reach an agreement, why don't we look for another one?"

How can that work!

"Or, Mr. He, you can consider it, but you have to think about it quickly, because we are also anxious to choose a store to do business. If you are too slow, I will decide on another store."

After Jiang Xiaohe finished speaking, she took Chen Dafu outside.

Boss He stood there for a long time, and finally caught up with him: "Okay, okay, let's do as my wife said, seventy is seventy! Just consider it as handing it over to a friend."

Chen Dafu looked at Jiang Xiaohe and saw a smile on Jiang Xiaohe's face: "Boss He is indeed a man who can do big things. He is very happy to do things."

Boss He smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly: "My lady, what you said is better than what you did."

Jiang Xiaohe just smiled and didn't say much.

The transfer was completed in a few minutes.

Jiang Xiaohe discussed with Chen Dafu how to renovate the house.

Pointing to the roof beams above his head, he said, "Replace all the pillars where the bugs have drilled through."

Chen Dafu nodded.

Jiang Xiaohe then said, "This house is big. I don't think we can put so many tables in it. We can move the kitchen to the front. We can separate the kitchen into a few rooms for people to live in."

Chen Dafu said, "As Madam said, there is not enough space for so many tables. I think we can reassemble the existing tables and chairs, re-oil them, and buy fewer furniture."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and nodded: "You can handle the rest."

Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them drove back.

On the way, Jiang Xiaohe said, "When the time comes, you should pay more attention to the shop in Longshui Town. Sun Gui has been with you for a while. If you think he is capable, you can let him manage the shop in our town for a while."

"Madam, don't worry. Sun Gui was previously in the hands of his former boss and managed the restaurant for a period of time. There is no problem with his ability. I will hand over the work to him in the next few days."

When they arrived in the town, it was almost dark. Business in the store was booming, so after tying up the ox cart, Chen Dafu went to work in the shop.

Jiang Xiaohe also worked as a cashier.

When she was free at night, Wang Hong took the initiative to find Jiang Xiaohe.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at him hesitating as if he had something to say, and couldn't help but smile: "Why? Is there anything you can't say to your cousin's wife?"

Wang Hong scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "Um, cousin, did you buy the shop today?"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiaohe put down the account book in her hand and looked at him and asked.

Wang Hong pursed her lips and finally said, "Can I follow Shopkeeper Chen to work in the new store? I want to learn more."

"Oh?" Jiang Xiaohe looked at him, thinking that he wanted to ask her for the position of manager of the shop.

Wang Hong said a little embarrassedly: "Manager Chen knows a lot of things. I have learned some characters from him these days. I think my cousin's wife will definitely send him to open a new shop, so I want to learn more from him."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and nodded: "Since you want to go to the new store, that's fine. You can help him then."

When Wang Hong heard Jiang Xiaohe agreed, her eyes lit up: "Cousin, you agreed?"

"Why wouldn't I agree? However, even if you want to follow Manager Chen to Longshui Town to work, you have to do your best in the shop these days. Since you are leaving, I will recruit two more people when the time comes. You have to help my cousin-in-law teach others well, understand?"

Wang Hong patted her chest and said, "Don't worry about this, cousin."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled slightly: "Okay, you should get busy too."

In the next few days, Jiang Xiaohe and Chen Dafu agreed on the details of decorating the new shop, and the decoration of the new shop was ready to start.

Regarding the decoration, Zhang Fu thought about it and said to Jiang Xiaohe, "You should ask your second uncle for help. No matter who gets the money, it's all profit. Your second aunt did something wrong, but your second uncle is fine. And think about it, when we were renovating our house, your second uncle spent more time and effort than we did. As long as we ask him to do something, he will treat it as his own."

Jiang Xiaohe didn't say anything after hearing this. After all, what Zhang Fu said was true. When they were renovating the house and the shop in town, Zhang Quan did everything himself, thinking about saving them money and making good use of the materials...

No matter who you find, you will get paid. If you compare it this way, it is much more reliable to find Zhang Quan than to find anyone else outside.

"Dad, don't worry. If I can ask my second uncle for help in renovating the house, I won't ask anyone else. What I said before was just that I won't take the initiative to help them in the future. Asking them for help is not the same as this matter."

With her words, Zhang Fu felt relieved: "It's good that you understand it in your heart, but no matter what you choose, your parents are on your side."

After he said this, he went to the backyard to tend to the grapes.

Jiang Xiaohe felt warm in her heart when she heard these words.
