The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1907: Chapter 1907: The Shop Has Been Chosen

The second shop is actually near the inn where Shu Yu and her companions are currently staying.

This street is also bustling, and the shop is about three hundred square meters.

Not sure if Qi Lie took into consideration that she doesn’t have a house in Changjin Prefecture, so all three selected shops come with a courtyard at the back, for her to rest when she visits.

As for the second shop, Shu Yu is quite satisfied with both the area and layout.

The only thing that makes her sigh is the abundance of inns and restaurants nearby, resulting in a noticeably high volume of passing vehicles. Some people just stop to have a meal in the restaurant, while others face the issue of inns not having a sufficiently spacious area at the back for carriages to pause.

These carriages would then park nearby, often blocking the entrance of some shops.

Shu Yu only walked around inside the shop for a bit, and by the time she came out, she found the entrance completely blocked, and had to squeeze her way out. Looking at the cosmetic shops and cloth stores beside her, she could only see the signboards above.

Even if customers say they are leaving soon and only stopping by, it significantly affects business.

This won’t do, Shu Yu shook her head.

”Let’s go, to the third shop.”

The third shop is bigger than the previous two, with three hundred and fifty square meters, and the main point is, it’s at a corner location.

This location connects two streets, making it visible from any direction.

The backyard of the shop is quite spacious too. Previously, the shop seemed to be a cloth store, so there is a large warehouse in the backyard. To ensure the fabric stays dry and clean, the warehouse is extremely well-organized in terms of moisture-proofing, damp-proofing, and protection against snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

For Shu Yu, it’s nothing short of perfect.

When they later transport large quantities of goods here, stock will be crucial; the warehouse can’t be too small, or too damp and chaotic.

This place is perfect.

Meng Yunzheng saw the light in her eyes and knew she was satisfied, ”Have you chosen?”

”Yes, this is the one.”

”I knew you would like it.” Previously, when Qi Lie was selecting the shops, he took Meng Yunzheng along.

Meng Yunzheng had an immediate liking for this one too, but Qi Lie thought just one choice wasn’t ideal, so he added two other store contracts he found satisfactory.

After going around in circles, this shop still turned out to be the most fitting.

”The shop is pretty clean, just need to find some people to tidy it up a bit, not much needs to be modified, seems like the opening day isn’t far off.”

Shu Yu nodded, ”It’s just that I don’t know any craftsmen here. My dad can do it, but he doesn’t have the manpower or time in this area, so we need to find someone else.”

”Don’t worry about the craftsmen, do you remember Aunt He?”

”I remember.” Previously, when Meng Yunzheng attended the academy exam, he rented a yard in Changjin Prefecture and hired Aunt He for laundry and cooking.

”Aunt He’s elder brother is a craftsman. Earlier, I saw a box made by her brother, seemed like he had good craftsmanship.”

Shu Yu clapped her hands, ”Great, let’s first ask Aunt He, and my dad can talk to her brother since he’s here.” Her dad is a professional, if the person has real skills, a few sentences will reveal that.

Now there’s a plan for the shop’s renovation, next is...

”We need to find a shopkeeper and staff. As for staff, I have someone in mind, but as for the shopkeeper, it’s really hard to choose. I don’t know anyone in Changjin Prefecture with experience who can handle this independently.”
