When doing business in the town, she had no money in hand, so she could only start as a street vendor.

Now, counting the consultation fees from the Zhenbeihou Mansion and the family that Wei Ting asked Xiao Hei to send, she has a small start-up capital on hand, and she should be able to rent a decent shop in the capital.

According to the needs of the two, Li Baoren selected five shops, including two on Zhuangyuan Street, one large and one small.

The small one used to be a tavern, but the owner did not manage it well, so it is urgently transferred.

The big one is a time-honored pharmacy, which has been in operation for more than ten years. The original business was really good, but just last year, a Renxintang opened next door, and a lot of their business was taken away.

Last month, he almost killed a person. Thanks to the timely rescue by Renxintang, otherwise one life would have been lost.

"I can't drive anymore," Li Baoren said.

The first thing they looked at was this pharmacy.

The pharmacy has two floors, the first floor is the lobby and pharmacy, the second floor is the account room and wing room, and it has a spacious backyard and two back rooms that are transparent from north to south.

"This is fine..." Fu Langzhong said.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

The first time she came in, she felt very satisfied.

The walls and floors are very clean, the lighting is excellent, the medicine cabinet is ready-made, and the functionality of the wing room can be changed, but overall there is almost no need to go to war, and it can be opened immediately after renting.

Most importantly, it is close to Lihua Lane.

"Is this the nearest?" Su Xiaoxiao asked Li Baoren.

Li Baoren said: "Yes, there is also a shop very close to Changliu Street, which is only a mile larger than here. It used to be a wine cellar, but it was not big enough, so I rented a shop in Dongcheng. Not open."

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "How does the size compare with this shop?"

Li Baoren said: "The cellar of the wine cellar is even bigger. On the ground is a large house with a first floor, similar to that of a medicine shop, except that the back room is missing."

Su Xiaoxiao had a measure in mind: "How much is this shop under the offer?"

Li Baoren took out the brochure and flipped through it, and asked, "Are you...are you renting or buying?"

Su Xiaoxiao groaned: "Is this shop also for sale?"

Li Baoren smiled and said: "The sale is their own house. If you want to buy it, the time is right now. There has been such a big trouble, the market here is not good, and the price can be lowered." One press."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Just tell me how much it is."

Li Baoren stretched out his hand and made a gesture of eight.

Su Xiaoxiao said lightly: "Eight hundred taels?"

The three little ones were running around in the lobby.

Xiaohu imitated: "Eight hundred taels! Eight hundred taels!"

Li Baoren shook his head embarrassingly.

Su Xiaoxiao blinked: "Could it be eighty?"

Li Baoren: How dare you think...

Li Baoren coughed lightly: "Eight thousand."

Click!

Lieutenant General Fu Lang opened the medicine cabinet and pushed it back.

He turned around and said to Li Baoren: "What shop costs eight thousand taels? It's too expensive! It's too expensive! Don't buy it, don't buy it!"

Li Baoren said with a smile: "You really want it, the price is negotiable."

"What's the rent like?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Ah, do you really not want to buy it?

Li Baoren was stunned for a moment, and replied: "The rent is one hundred taels a month, and two deposits pay three."

Su Xiaodao: "One hundred taels is not cheap, do other shops also have this price?"

Li Baoren said: "The shops on Zhuangyuan Street are about the same price, and the ones on Changliu Street can be twenty or thirty taels cheaper, but the location is not so good, nor is it so big."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him: "Are you trying to say that you get what you pay for?"

Li Baoren smiled: "That's the reason."

Fu Langzhong came over, pulled Su Xiaoxiao aside, and said in a low voice: "I think it's too expensive. This shop has an accident and still calls such a high price. If there is no accident, how much will it cost? Why don't we go to another shop to see?" Let’s see. If it’s really not working, let’s get another guarantor.”

Su Xiaoxiao thinks that Li Bao is not a bad person, he is a shrewd businessman, not treacherous, and the price he bids is not much different from what she has learned these days.

"Okay, let's look elsewhere."

Su Xiaoxiao responded, and said to San Xiaozhi, "Big tiger, two tigers and little tiger, let's go."

A group of people left the shop, and Li Baoren locked the door.

Su Xiaoxiao turned her head and glanced at the Renxintang next door: "Is this the medical clinic that is booming?"

"That's right." Li Baoren put away the key, "Renxintang has opened several stores in the capital, and the earliest one has been open for thirty years, so it is considered a time-honored brand."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh."

A group of people walked to another shop on Zhuangyuan Street.

No matter the size or layout of the tavern, Su Xiaoxiao cannot be satisfied.

"Can you still walk?" Su Xiaoxiao asked the three little ones.

The three little ones nodded: "You can walk!"

So the group went to Changliu Street again.

They first looked at the wine cellar, and when they opened the door, a strong smell of liquor came to their nostrils.

Xiaohu exaggeratedly covered his little nose: "It's so qiu (stinky)!"

Erhu stuck out his tongue: "I'm going to faint!"

Li Baoren was amused by the children.

He was not worried that the children's reaction would affect today's business, because the wine cellar was not suitable at all, and he bet that the girl would not choose.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Fu Langzhong: "What do you think?"

Fu Langzhong cleared his throat: "Ahem, let's go to the next one."

The remaining two shops are still in business, one is in the tea business and the other is selling fabrics. The price is indeed cheaper than the drugstore, but it is a bit far away from home. In addition, it is not that the layout is small, and the north and south are not transparent, so the lighting is not very good.

Su Xiaoxiao asked Fu Langzhong: "Which shop do you like the most?"

Fu Langzhong looked not far away, laughed and teased the three little Li Baoren, and said in a low voice: "The price of the tea shop is the most suitable."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Leave aside the price."

Fu Langzhong: Are you all this arrogant now?

"The first room."

He told the truth.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay, the first one."

No, why is that all right?

This, is this decided?

Rent of one hundred taels a month!

How many patients do we have to see?

Fu Langzhong was practicing medicine in the town, and treated the poor more often. He often couldn't make ends meet, let alone a hundred taels, if he could earn seven or eight taels a month, he would already be Amitabha.

In his opinion, even if the consultation fees and medicine fees in the capital were higher than those in the town, they would still earn less than one hundred taels.

"This...isn't it bad? The medical center is next door...Are we trying to steal business?"

"When Renxintang went to open a medical clinic, didn't it also steal the business from the pharmacy?"

Fu Langzhong was speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over to Li Baoren: "You ask the owner of the pharmacy out, and we can negotiate a price."

...

Su Xiaoxiao has a vigorous temperament, and if she can solve it today, she will never delay it until tomorrow.

After negotiating the price with the owner of the pharmacy for an hour, he finally sold the shop for 6,000 taels.

She took 60% of Su Mo's consultation fee of 2,000 taels, and the other 40% was given to Fu Langzhong, plus the 3,000 taels from Wei Ting, and the 1,000 taels that Su Yuniang gave her before leaving. I spent the money I earned from making dim sum these past few days.

Su Xiaoxiao finished the calculation: "There is still a shortfall of six hundred taels."

Fu Langzhong took out the consultation fee that Su Xiaoxiao gave him without saying a word.

A total of 800 taels were given to Su Xiaoxiao.

Just when the two parties were about to sign the contract, a little episode happened.

Qin Yanran is here.

She appeared together with Hu Biyun, the daughter of Hu Yuanpan's family, and she saw Su Xiaoxiao in the lobby of the pharmacy at a glance.

"I'll go say hello." She said to Hu Biyun.

Hu Biyun frowned slightly, the two were classmates in the palace school, but they were aunts and nephews in private, so Miss Su should have come to say hello.

People from the countryside really don't know the rules.

Hu Biyun was not interested in why Su Xiaoxiao appeared in a closed drugstore.

"What? Are you going to buy this shop and open a medical clinic?" Qin Yanran exclaimed.

"Who is this girl?" Li Baoren asked.

"Not familiar." Su Xiaoxiao said lightly.

She took the pen and was about to sign it.

Qin Yanran dissuaded her, "Do you know what you're doing? Don't take the silver that uncle gave you and spend it outside—"

Fu Langzhong frowned.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Qin Yanran mockingly: "Do you know that the money was given to me by someone else?"

Qin Yanran asked back: "Isn't it? Where did you get the money yourself?"

Fu Langzhong is notoriously good-tempered, but at this moment he couldn't help feeling angry: "Miss Qin, please be careful with your words!"

He watched with his own eyes how this little girl started from setting up a street stall and made it to where she is today step by step.

All her money was earned by herself!

Qin Yanran said earnestly: "Doctor Fu, you have cured the old Hou Ye. I admit that your medical skills are superb, but I still have to advise you, don't mess around with her."

Hu Biyun at the door opened his mouth slowly: "Miss Qin, I think you'd better stop talking, people don't appreciate it at all, and it's useless for you to talk loudly, some people just don't turn back if they don't hit the south wall."

Qin Yanran sighed: "It's a family after all, I don't want to see her suffer."

Su Xiaoxiao said lightly: "Do you not want to see me suffer, or do you want me to suffer?"

"Of course I'm doing it for your own good..." Qin Yanran shook her head helplessly, and said to Li Baoren and the owner of the pharmacy in the room, "You probably don't know that Miss Su grew up in the countryside, and this is the first time she came to the capital... "

Two people: So she is a country girl...

Hu Biyun said arrogantly: "In the entire capital, there is no pharmacy or medical clinic that dares to open near our Renxintang. Otherwise, why do you think this pharmacy closed down? Or do you think that Renxintang's business is good, and patients There are too many to read, so you want to pick up some that leak out of our mouths?"

The two of them were chattering, Su Xiaoxiao became a little impatient, her brows were slightly frowned, and a trace of coldness appeared in her eyes.

She looked at Hu Biyun: "Renxintang, from the Hu family?"

"Which Hu family?" Fu Langzhong asked.

Qin Yanran was surprised: "Don't you guys know about the Hu family sentenced by the Hu court?"

Fu Langzhong was stunned, then turned to look at Hu Biyun: "Your father...but Hu Jiusheng?"

Hu Biyun raised his chin and said, "It's my father."

Fu Langzhong was shocked, he grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's wrist and said, "Excuse me!"

He dragged Su Xiaoxiao to the backyard.

He looked at the three little ones squatting on the ground playing with rocks, and whispered to Su Xiaoxiao: "Let's not want this shop anymore."

Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

Fu Lang said: "That Hu Jiusheng, if I'm not mistaken, it's probably that Hu Jiusheng!"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Which Hu Jiusheng?"

Fu Langzhong clenched his fists, tried hard to control his emotions, and said with a complex expression: "My father... used to be in the imperial hospital. He had committed some crimes and was afraid of causing death, so he left the capital in feign death. Hu Jiusheng is my father. Father's favorite student, my father mentioned this person to me more than once, saying that if I have half his talent, his medical skills don't need to be passed on to outsiders. Renxintang belongs to his family... we can't compete!"

In fact, there is one more thing that he didn't say.

Hu Jiusheng is not a good person, he was the one who told the secret back then, which made his father have to fake his death and leave Beijing.

He didn't care about it himself, but he didn't want to hurt Miss Su.

Su Xiaoxiao took a deep look at Fu Langzhong, and her eyes fell on his fist that was about to bleed: "Oh."

The two returned to the lobby.

Qin Yanran looked at the two of them and said, "Have you decided?"

Li Baoren and the pharmacy owner closed their eyes in disappointment.

It's over, it's yellow again.

This shop... is going to be out of stock again...

Su Xiaoxiao took Indonesia, dipped her fingertips, and pressed her fingerprints.

Qin Yanran's eyes flashed.

Hu Biyun looked at the pharmacy owner at the side, then at Su Xiaoxiao, and said mockingly: "The He family is a time-honored brand, and it only lasted for a year. Miss Su, I bet you won't last half a year."

"Half a year? Too long." Su Xiaoxiao picked up the contract lightly, "Three months."

Hu Biyun said with a chuckle: "You know yourself—"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Hu Biyun, and said in a word: "Three months later, your Renxintang will disappear from this street!"
