The Chen family members all had jobs and didn't like to do business, so the shop had always been rented to the outside world.
The previous tenant was also in the food business. However, perhaps due to poor culinary skills or other reasons, the business was not doing well. In total, the tenant closed after a few months.
It had been a few months since the family moved away.
It wasn't easy for people to earn money these days, so no one dared to invest in business easily. Therefore, the Chen family's shop had been empty and hadn't been rented out until now.
The Chen family didn't lack money, so they weren't in a hurry to rent the shop.
It didn't matter if no one rented it, but it was better if someone came to rent it.
The house was empty, and they could earn more money if they rented it out. Why not?
Moreover, Chen Sheng and Master Jiang had known each other since they were young. After so many years of friendship, they knew each other very well.
If Jiang Ran wasn't reliable, Master Jiang wouldn't have brought him back.
Therefore, Chen Sheng's gaze swept over Jiang Ran before he let them into the yard. "Come, let's talk inside!"
The yard wasn't big, but it was elegantly tidied.
There was a small garden next to the courtyard wall, and there were a few bamboos planted there. There was also a large vat next to it. The water in the vat was very clear, and there were fish swimming around.
There was also a small stone table in the yard. There were four round stone stools beside the table and a bamboo recliner next to it.
It had to be said that the layout of the yard was really elegant.
The Pei family's yard was big, but it was empty. There was basically nothing in it.
The purpose of the Pei family's yard was to dry clothes, firewood, and grain during the autumn harvest. It was all for the sake of living.
However, the small yard in front of them was full of fun. It was to enjoy life.
Chen Sheng saw Jiang Ran staring at the furnishings in the yard and smiled slightly proudly. "How is it?
Isn't my yard decorated well?
Old Jiang has been eyeing my yard for a long time. "
"Who's eyeing your yard!"
Master Jiang immediately retorted. "I'm so busy every day. I'm not like you, who can take care of the flowers and plants in the yard every day.
Alright, alright, stop showing off your yard. Let's get down to business. "
As they spoke, they walked to the stone table and sat down.
Chen Sheng stopped talking about his courtyard and started talking about renting a house.
"You want to rent a house to sell food?
How long are you going to rent it for? "
"I still need to see how much your rent is." Jiang Ran smiled. "I'm afraid I don't have that much money."
Chen Sheng nodded and said, "I know. As a businessman, you must have some liquid funds. Old Jiang is here, so I'll be honest with you. The rent for our row of shops is fifteen yuan a month. See if you can accept it. If you don't have that much money, you can rent it for half a year first."
Fifteen yuan a month. That would be ninety yuan for half a year.
It was indeed possible to fork out the money.
However, Jiang Ran still did not agree immediately. "Sir, can we go take a look at the house first?"
"Sure!" Chen Sheng stood up and said, "Let's go."
Renting a house was a big deal. Fifteen yuan a month was not cheap. It was reasonable that Jiang Ran wanted to take a look.
Fortunately, the distance was relatively close, and the few of them soon returned to Uncle Jiang's store.
