Chapter 51 Buying a Shop

Xie Jinghuai has no reason to brag. As a general, he has extraordinary luck and can become a victorious general on the battlefield.

Luck is part of strength. Xie Jinghuai is willing to share his good luck with Jiang Chenqi and does not want to miss this person.

The subordinates had no control over the master's emotional affairs, so Lin Feng lowered his head and sorted out the secret letter, and left with the secret letter ready to be sent out tonight.

Xie Jinghuai closed the window and prepared to rest, thinking about following Jiang Chenqi closely tomorrow morning and not letting Jiang Chenqi leave his sight.

Commander Jiang got up very early, it was just dawn, and there were a few stars hanging in the sky that had not disappeared.

Sitting in front of the kitchen stove, Jiang Chenqi helped Mrs. Niu light the fire and asked if there were any cheap shops nearby. "It's not easy to take root in the capital. I plan to do some small business to make a living. It will be great if I can settle in the capital after making a lot of money."

As a businessman from a small place in southern Xinjiang, he longed for the prosperity of the capital city and came here. It makes sense to start a small business and hope to make a fortune.

Mrs. Niu handed the guest a handful of dried fruits and said with a smile: "It is not easy to be a rich man in the capital. The status of a merchant is not as high as that of a scholar. I see that you have a sense of what you say and do. Why not go to an academy to study, become a scholar, go back to your hometown, and become a scholar?"

It’s so easy for a junior official.”

Being an official in the capital is not that simple. Without background and extraordinary luck, you can only be a scapegoat.

Mrs. Niu kindly advised young people not to aspire to glory and wealth. Only a handful of ordinary people have successfully turned around.

Accepting Mrs. Niu's teachings humbly, Jiang Chenqi said with a smile: "I am not interested in studying. I like to do some small business. You are right. It is difficult to get around in the capital without a backer. When I save enough money, I will go back and become a rich man in my hometown."

merchant."

Helping to light the fire has its benefits. Jiang Chenqi was the first to taste the delicious steamed buns and praised Mrs. Niu for her skills. "It was only when I walked into the kitchen that I realized how clean you are. I have been to the kitchen of the magistrate's house and it is not as clean as yours. As guests, we can feel at ease."

When you eat, you don’t have to worry about dirty ingredients and spoiling your stomach.”

Mrs. Niu kept smiling and scolded those sloppy cooks for having to consider the diners when cooking.

After walking around the inn, Xie Jinghuai found someone in the kitchen, walked up to Jiang Chenqi and said, "I looked everywhere for you, but you were nowhere to be seen. I thought you had gone out, but I didn't expect you to be trying food in the kitchen."

Let Mr. Hou look at the vegetable buns in her hand, Jiang Chenqi said with a smile: "Get up early and come to help light the fire. The buns made by Mrs. Niu are very delicious. This is the second bun."

There is no need to pay attention to dining etiquette. Xie Jinghuai washed his hands, picked up the hot buns and ate them. He nodded with satisfaction, "It tastes really good. It's better than the buns sold in big restaurants. Home-cooked meals are the most nourishing."

The cattle shopkeeper had several cats that appeared at the kitchen door, walked into the kitchen, circled around the mistress's legs, and meowed for food.

Seeing Mrs. Niu happily feeding the cat, Jiang Chenqi admired this kind of ordinary person who loves life, "Shopkeeper Niu is lucky to marry a good wife who is virtuous and takes care of the house. Although I don't like the words virtuous and Shude, I have to admit that I am a good wife and mother.

I can take care of a house."

Some young people in Baiyue Town understand why they are so attracted to the daughter of Magistrate Hu. Hu Liuniang is a good girl who manages the family well. Anyone who marries her will have a stable life.

Looking at Jiang Chenqi, Xie Jinghuai said pointedly: "Not all men like a good wife and a good mother. Everyone has different needs. Laundry and cooking can be left to servants. A rich man can find a girl he likes.

.”

Xie Jinghuai is a young man with money and status, and is the leader of the Hou family. He does not like good wives in the traditional sense.

He wants to find a girl who is smart and strategic, such as Jiang Chenqi, a girl with superb martial arts skills and a wealthy wife who is easier to get along with than a good wife.

A rich man can marry three wives and four concubines. With more choices, he can find different types of women. Jiang Chenqi did not continue this topic. It was not her turn to intervene in the important events of Marquis Mingying's life, so she could just mind her own business.

After a simple breakfast, Jiang Chenqi and others followed Shopkeeper Niu out, "I want to find a shop with a yard. If I can live in the backyard, it would be best if there is a well in the yard."

Satisfy her request and buy the store as long as the price is right. Open the business as soon as possible and solidify her identity as a small businessman in southern Xinjiang.

Shopkeeper Niu found an acquaintance named Wu Dalang. Wu Dalang specialized in introducing shops to people and getting commission, so he knew where there were suitable shops.

"I have three stores here that meet the customer's requirements. How about I take you through them one by one. Don't be in a hurry when buying a store. Take your time and look at the stores carefully. If you don't like one today, we will continue to look for it tomorrow."

It was different when an acquaintance introduced her to a store. Jiang Chenqi didn't take any detours when shopping for a store, and went straight to the right store.

After walking around Xicheng District and looking at three shops, Jiang Chenqi had a choice in her mind.

"I just came to the capital and I'm not familiar with the place. I only know Shopkeeper Niu's family. I just buy the store closest to Niu's Inn. Only when there are acquaintances nearby can I feel at ease."

This sentence made Shopkeeper Niu feel proud, and asked Wu Dalang to say goodbye to the lion, "Brother Yong'an came to the capital from southern Xinjiang to work in the capital. Young people don't have that much money. Don't cheat people. I'm here to keep an eye on you."

"

Seeing that shopkeeper Niu didn't charge more money for his sake, Wu Dalang took Jiang Chenqi to the Yamen to go through the transfer procedures and handed over the title deed and keys to the guest.

With the land deed and key in hand, Jiang Chenqi had no intention of leaving the inn. It was easy to stay in the inn without having to worry about food.

The shop needs to be renovated, the backyard needs to be rearranged, and the appliances in the room need to be replaced. These will take time to solve.

There was no need for Jiang Chenqi to arrange things for his subordinates. Baiwei carried the package and moved to his apprentice's new residence. "Give me the money and I will take care of it. Your senior brother has a skilled carpenter and good wood. I can save a little by asking him for help."

.”

After handing the keys and banknotes to her master, Jiang Chenqi believed in her master's ability to do things. Next, she had to find a stable source of goods, which she had to trouble Jiang Yuyou, a native of southern Xinjiang.

Jiang Yuyou took Commander Jiang to the escort agency. She knew the owner of the escort agency and could get goods from southern Xinjiang from here.

The bearded man received the guests and asked Jiang Yuyou to come and play. Hearing that Jiang Chenqi was going to open a grocery store, he persuaded the young man to think twice.

"It's not easy to do business in the capital. What should I do if I open a shop and lose money? I see that my little brother is very handsome. He has read a book and can do arithmetic. If he can do arithmetic, he can stay in the escort agency to help settle accounts. You will have a place to live and you will have no worries about food and clothing.

"

Declining the man's kindness, Jiang Chenqi said with a smile that she used her savings to buy the store, "I know it's not easy to do business. Young people always want to try their luck on their own and think they are the lucky ones. I need these items, do you know them?"

People can ask them to prepare and pay attention to hygiene when handling dry goods."

There were no other requirements. Jiang Chenqi did not intend to focus on business and opened a grocery store as a joke.

Selling ingredients and items from southern Xinjiang, she can predict that the business will be bad, and it will only suit her wishes if the business is bad.
