Time flies, and several months have passed.

Ji Ranran can sit and crawl. She doesn't like letting people run away and wants to crawl all over the floor. Ji Fan's child also went to middle school.

The rental contract is about to expire, and the old landlord has been hanging around again recently, mentioning this issue intentionally or unintentionally, and being clever, he said with a smile, "You said your business is so good, and there is a lot of traffic. You can only make money by selling one thing."

ah?"

"Well, after the contract expires, I won't ask for your rent. My daughter-in-law will learn how to make spicy hotpot, and my nephew will also learn how to make cold drinks. When the time comes, you will jointly invest in renovating the second floor.

, they set up stalls inside, and everyone helped each other.”

"what do you think?"

...

The old landlord also deliberately emphasized, "If you are too busy, everyone should help each other. They are both hard-working and will definitely help you. I will not charge you any rent."

When Ji Huai heard this, he just wanted to laugh.

how?

Is this a way to take advantage of him?

The store they worked so hard to build is allowed to take advantage of the customer flow? And they don’t charge a penny?

"Doing business means making money through partnership. Everyone has a way out. It's useless for me to just leave this house alone. It's all for you young people to worry about." The old landlord continued.

Ji Huai smiled half-heartedly, "I don't want the rent. Is there no contract? What if they take advantage of it and kick us out as a couple? Wouldn't it be all occupied in one fell swoop?"

If they make money, who will recognize them as a couple? Then they can't just take it all away.

"Why did they drive you away? What did you say?" The old landlord smiled awkwardly, "Isn't it kind of us to work together to rent our house?"

"The first floor is so big. How much customer traffic will be lost if we set up two stalls for them? How about the second floor?" Ji Huai's face also calmed down and said directly, "Is this being kind or pretending to be smart? You are better than me.

clear."

The old landlord's face darkened, "If I didn't give you this house, your business wouldn't be so good. Let me tell you, some houses have good feng shui and bring wealth. But if the land is changed, it won't be like this."

Many business people believe in this, so they all worship the God of Wealth, and some seats are arranged in a regular manner.

In the past two years, I have watched the couple make money. With the little rent I collected, the store became more and more popular, and my nephew and daughter-in-law went there to buy something casually and it was more expensive than collecting rent.

He did have the idea of ​​​​substituting someone else. By then, the things they sell might become popular, and even if Ji Huai smashes it, they can still decorate it.

Standing on the shoulders of two couples, the success rate will naturally be greater.

"Really?" Ji Huai raised his eyebrows, "I'd rather go and worship Buddha and ask if that's the case."

"How can you earn so much if it's not a Feng Shui treasure? I tell you, it's definitely impossible." The old landlord said firmly.

With so much money, he wouldn't dare to move it around at will.

"You have brought a lot of things. With so much trouble every day, how many guests are not allowed to leave?" Ji Huai was not polite and said with a smile, "My wife and I bring our own good luck, and we can get well wherever we go."

The landlord didn't believe it.

The matter was delayed for another half month, and when it was time to sign the contract, before Ji Huai agreed, the old landlord took his daughter-in-law to see it.

The other party wanted the place where the chicken feet are placed at the door, and commented, "It's quite convenient here. The place doesn't need to be big, just enough room to hold some things."

"The cashier counter can also be moved. In fact, there is no need to put it there. It can be used as a bar counter."

Ji Huai looked at it and said nothing.

A few people thought he had acquiesced. The old landlord also said, "The kitchen can be smaller. The walls on the second floor need to be knocked out. You can do whatever you want."

He didn't pay for it anyway.

Ji Huai stood up slowly, unhurriedly, and went to the kitchen.

A few days later, Ji Huai and his wife responded again. There were many fewer tables, chairs and benches in the store, and many of the things they had purchased upstairs were also missing.

When the old landlord saw it, he quickly informed his daughter-in-law and nephew to prepare the things they wanted.

As soon as the space for the chicken feet at the door was freed, she quickly put the cabinet she needed into it. In order to match the decoration style of Ji Huai and the others, she even customized the cabinet.

It costs a lot of money.

Mr. and Mrs. Ji Huai just moved the cashier here, and quickly changed the other end into a water bar. They can make it as large as possible, and the space will occupy more and more space.

Back and forth, the two of them also bought tens of thousands of things.

The whole family also felt that as a result of Ji Huai and his wife's concession, they still had to rent their house, so they could only endure their displeasure.

I just want to catch the customer flow of this store, stand in the limelight, make some money, and recharge my energy in order to replace it in the future.

Who would have thought that after the store was renovated, Ji Huai and his wife never opened it again. When they finally came, they moved everything away.

This is confusing.

"You don't want these anymore? Do you want new ones? Isn't it good?" The old landlord followed up and asked.

"We don't plan to renew the lease of the house. We will move there. The second floor has been renovated. There are many floors and there are rooms to live in. It's too inconvenient here." Ji Huai said with a smile.

For a moment, it was like a bolt from the blue, frightening the three of them.

The next day.

Next door to the Zhang family, "Zhiwei Food Store" opened. This time, the decoration style continues the decoration style of the previous old store, but it is more careful.

There is a small private room on the second floor, where you can also sing karaoke.

In the first three days of opening, everything is 30% off, and the prices are the same as before, with no increase. If you want a small private room, it will cost you 20 yuan more during the day and 39 yuan more at night.

For a time, the first and second floors were full of people.

They hired six waiters and lived in their own house on the third floor. They also paid off most of the loan in the past two years, so the pressure on the couple was reduced.

What the landlord said about a milk tea shop or Malatang really gave Shani a good idea. She went to inquire about it and found a company with good taste to join in a partnership. She gave the other party a small space and did not collect rent on a monthly basis.

If you want to share it, the other party agrees and is very happy.

She also found a shared power bank and brought it to the store. After the customer uses it, the commission is 37 cents, and the shop owner gets 7 cents.

Don’t underestimate this, the net profit from this shared power bank alone can reach 5,000 yuan a month.

Ji's father looked at the customers who kept coming in, and he was full of energy. He was even more diligent than Ji Huai, and he was never idle.

During this period, Tong Zhenmei came over once and wanted Ji Huai to give her money. It was said that she had a huge debt from playing mahjong. Ji's father became angry and brought a bucket of mopping water. He stood at the door with a sullen face and went to her.

He splashed on his body and yelled, "Why don't you get out of here?"

After saying that, he pointed at her nose and cursed, "I'm telling you, as long as I'm here for a day, you can't get a penny from here! I won't give you a penny!"

The virgin plum was turned into a drowned rat, and she didn't dare to say a word, so she left again in dejection.

As for the old landlord and his family, although Ji Huai and his wife did not destroy the store, they moved most of the things away. If they want to reopen, they must buy more.

Nowadays, Mr. and Mrs. Ji Huai no longer open a shop inside, and the space they occupy is unreasonable, looking empty and awkward.

I have no choice but to grit my teeth and decorate again.

When it opened, it spent nearly 200,000 yuan, but it couldn't compete with Ji Huai and others. It can be said that there was no advantage at all.

There are all kinds of snacks in the store, all in color and flavor, can their drinks and Malatang be comparable?

It's only a two-step distance, which doesn't affect regular customers at all. There are two floors above and below, and the experience is much better than here.

The old landlord not only lost the rent, but also subsidized 200,000 yuan. After three months of operation, the business was extremely bleak, so he took out the real estate certificate and borrowed 100,000 yuan to let them renovate it.

Now it's better. After losing his wife and losing his troops, the family is in trouble every day.

Four months later, the store could no longer be opened and had to be closed, but my daughter-in-law got involved with her nephew.

He was so angry that he had a heart attack and lost half his life.

Later, the house was never rented out, and no one wanted it. Finally, someone wanted to rent a single room, but he thought the night market was too noisy.

Ji Fan and Zhang Jiaxiao grew up playing around.

During this period, Mr. Zhang fell ill for a while and was sent to recuperate by Aunt Zhang. Mrs. Yan followed him to take care of him. Zhang Jiaxiao was still living at Ji's house.

When Ji Fan was a child, it was Ji Fan who stayed with the Zhang family. After that, Zhang Jiaxiao lived in the Ji family. Later, the two children entered the sixth grade. They thought they would go to the city to attend junior high school soon, so they did not move.

Return to Zhang's house.

The left and right are also close to each other. There are still a few empty rooms upstairs in Ji's house. She can live in them as long as she has a pair of chopsticks. With so many employees eating every day, it is not a problem at all.

Shani has always liked her, and she will remember her when buying things for Ji Ranran and Ji Fan.

Moreover, Ji Fan will also go to the market in the future, and the couple will not be able to take care of him. In fact, they also hope that the Zhang family and his wife, who will work in the city, can also take care of their son.

Zhang Jiaxiao and Ji Fan have been playing together since they were children. She has always been lively and cheerful. Ji Fan is just like Ji Huai. He is boring and has no unnecessary emotions. When the store is busy, he will also go there.

help.

He has been helping the family since he was very young, and Ji Huai is quite good at handling him.

Shani bought the red string for the two of them on Ji Fan's fourth birthday, and they wore it until sixth grade. Their classmates always said they were wearing couple's bracelets.

"This is not a couple's bracelet." Zhang Jiaxiao explained for the nth time, very speechless, "I have worn it for a long time, since kindergarten."

"Why does Ji Fan also have one? Then he is in love and has been dating since kindergarten." The classmates started making noises again.
