80, the love is not deep and the rain is not covered (4)
Until Jiang Muyun paid the money, the intermediary man was still in a state of fantasy. He never expected that the poor woman would rent an apartment with a wave of his hand.
I made two orders that day, so I don’t have to worry about this month or the next.
"Hey, wait!" Jiang Muyun chased out the door and called out to the agent who was walking far away.
When the man from the agency was called to a stop, he felt anxious in his heart, fearing that the aunt would regret it temporarily.
"I'm renting here, please remember not to tell my dad. After a while, I will go and pick it up for them when his anger subsides."
"Hey, Miss Li, don't worry. The most important thing in our business is not to reveal customer information. I've never seen you."
His knowledge made Jiang Muyun nod. After all, she didn't want Li Zhengde to come to her door every now and then and ask her to pay back the money.
Having solved the issue of shelter, the next step is the issue of livelihood.
Li Keyun has lived in the Lu family since she was a child, and has always lived as a maid.
Since she is a maid, it is naturally impossible for her to study and practice calligraphy like a young master. The only thing she knows how to do is the multiplication table, which was taught by that scumbag Erhao.
Without a diploma or academic qualifications, let alone work experience, she probably wouldn't be able to do any serious work in this city. The only thing she could do is probably wash clothes and wash dishes for others.
Although she still has more than 1,900 on hand, which looks like a lot, she can’t just sit back and have nothing!
Not to mention that in the later period, when the situation was turbulent and enemies invaded, prices skyrocketed, and even this little money was not enough.
You still have to think of a way out on your own.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the landlord who had just received the money tearing off the information about the apartment he had just rented out on the wall panel on one side.
There are also many pieces of paper posted next to them, and without exception, they are all about housing rental information.
Jiang Muyun, who has sharp eyes, saw the rental information of a store.
With that, she can rent a shop and do some small business!
"Aunt Landlady, do all the rental information on this belong to your family?"
The landlady looked at her new tenant and asked questions, her attitude much better than before.
"Some of them are mine, and some are listed by several landlords nearby. Why, do you want to rent them?"
Jiang Muyun nodded, "Yes, I'm going to rent a shop and make a living."
Perhaps Jiang Muyun looked young, and the landlady kindly reminded her that business was not easy to do these days.
"There's nothing I can do. The man is dead and I'm pregnant again. If I don't care about anything else, I have to think about my child!"
There are so many people dying these days. Wherever people don't die, everyone has become accustomed to it and has even begun to feel numb.
The landlady still showed some sympathy for Jiang Muyun's experience.
"I have a small shop in the East Block. Although it's not big, it should be enough for you to make a small living. I charge you twenty-five for a month's rent. If you want to rent, I will charge you twenty.
Want to go take a look?"
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise. Jiang Muyun was very happy to follow the landlord to see the store.
It is indeed very small, with a rectangular facade, a cabinet against the wall on one side, a small square table next to the door, and nothing else.
"The last tenant here was a man who mended clothes." The landlord said and turned over the small square table. It turned out to be a sewing machine, which was a good thing in this era.
"She also had a hard time with her business. She couldn't pay the rent for several months, so she used this sewing machine to pay for it. If you want to use it, the sewing machine will be rented to you for 2 yuan per month, but we agreed in advance.
If it’s damaged, you’ll be compensated for the original price!”
The landlady’s little-bourgeois demeanor is really in line with this era!
"I don't need it. I can't use this sewing machine."
Maybe he didn't expect Jiang Muyun to say this. The landlady's face was unhappy for a moment, and she said harshly, "Hey, forget it, I'll rent it to you together."
"It's not a matter of money, it's just that I don't know how to use it!" Jiang Muyun walked around the store again, picking out the problems here, "Moreover, not only is this store small, it is also in a remote location, and there is not enough traffic.
I’m afraid it will be difficult to start this business.”
The landlord also didn't expect that this girl looked young but had very vicious eyes. It is true that the terrain here is too remote and the tenants cannot work for long. The rent has been lowered again and again, but it has still been empty for a long time.
Seeing Jiang Muyun was about to leave, the landlord became anxious and called out to her, "Wait a minute, there are just a few people here now, and there will be more people later."
Jiang Muyun shook his head but remained silent.
The landlady gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll give you 15 a month, which is already extremely cheap."
"Ten dollars."
"Impossible, you can't rent it for ten yuan."
The landlord waved his hand, and Jiang Muyun shrugged indifferently, turned around and walked out.
"Forget it, forget it, come back, it won't be easy for you, so I'll rent it to you."
Jiang Muyun regretted it. She should have shouted lower, but she lost again.
After signing the contract and paying the rent, this small storefront will be Jiang Muyun's future livelihood.
Although there is not much traffic here and it is a bit remote, Jiang Muyun really likes it here!
Because just one street away is Shanghai, the largest and most prosperous song and dance hall in the city, and it is also an indispensable and important place in the story of this world.
She had carefully observed this entire street as she walked through it, and the people who came in and out the most were some fashionably dressed women.
There are also some promiscuous women.
It just so happens that these are all her future customers!
After resting all night, Jiang Muyun went to the market, bought a batch of rouge and gouache, bought himself some clothes, completely changed his face and covered his head, and lost all that rusticity.
There was no special decoration on the door of the store. They just cleaned it, displayed the products neatly, and hung a sign at the door that cost a huge amount of money. The store officially opened for business quietly.
"Medicine, makeup? This name is quite interesting."
The woman in blue who was about to go home after shopping accidentally caught a glimpse of the small shop next to her. She was attracted by the name. She walked in and took a look. Through the glass window, she only saw a table covered with red velvet in front of her.
Various cosmetics.
It seems that they are all the most common things, but I don't know what is special about them.
"It turns out they sell cosmetics!"
With the thought that it was time to come, the woman decided to go in and take a look.
The sound of pushing the door set off the wind chimes hanging on the door, and Jiang Muyun, who was sitting on a chair reading a book, was attracted to her.
"Welcome, please take your pick."
When I walked in, I realized how big the store was. There was a cabinet in front of me with a few cosmetics scattered here and there, but nothing else.
She couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Boss, are there any differences among your cosmetics? What does this cosmeceutical mean?"
Jiang Muyun glanced at her and blinked.
Chapter completed!
