Chapter 276 If you want stability, you have to plan

Yao Si was very happy when his parents and younger brothers left. Although the family was ruined and the whole family could be together, she was very happy. What's more, now, the family has a place to live for someone's blessing. Chu Meng left a sum of money when he left, which Yao Si only found out accidentally later. Now it was time to use money, and Yao Si was not so pretentious, so she simply took out the money and used it. It was saved. The family of six was not troubled by not having enough food.

Mao Xiucai went out to find a living every day. He had many years of experience and knowledge, so he found a job in a few days to teach a group of children. Compared with before in Xiaxiang County, he was treated better. This made Mao Xiucai so happy. He secretly thought that it would be better to be in the middle of the capital. Even if he was just a private school teacher, his income was enough for his food, clothing and expenses and surplus.

Yao Si and Lan Xin went to the Wuming Wine House and the porcelain kiln early every day. The explanation to Yan and Yao Zhengyu was just saying that they would meet friends in Beijing before the enrollment period.

These meetings between students are normal, not to mention that with Qiu Ji and Xin Xiran in front of them, they did not object to Yao Si's friendship. However, Yao Zhenghe repeatedly emphasized that a gentleman's friendship is as calm as water, and it is enough to maintain a peaceful relationship. Although Yao Si did not say it, he was still firmly at Yangshan Academy. Yao Si's life was not satisfactory, but Yao Si did not say it, so he pretended not to know.

As for Yao Si, she actually had questions. She saw that her parents had the idea of ​​staying in Beijing, but the two elders must have to find a living in Beijing. My mother is not an idle person. If she wants to find a living, she must be the best, and her best is cooking and brewing wine.

The preparation of a tavern costs too much, and the best thing is to open a restaurant. My father may find some physical work, maybe he can write for someone else, but my father never wants to write more, so Yao Si is not sure about this.

But no matter what, she knew that if the two elders settled down in the capital, they would definitely have to find a living. So first, they had to set up a shop. This shop should not be too expensive because they could not afford it, but they should not be too cheap because the cheap areas were not good.

Yao Si calculated the price in his mind, the money he had, and what she was about to do later, and the house rent she could afford, which was about 2 taels to 4 taels per month, and this price could be selected for a location half a quarter of an hour from the center of the city.

In fact, relatively speaking, this is already a very expensive budget, but she knew her mother's skills. She had eaten in Baocuilou before, which was a relatively famous restaurant, but the taste of the dish was not as good as that of my mother. As long as she marked the sign, she would not have to worry about losing income.

It is precisely because of this that she set her sights on the eight official roads in the center of the city. These people are either rich or noble, rich, have a slim taste, don’t bother expensive, but just don’t think they are not delicious. Therefore, the location of this shop is just a distance of half a quarter to a quarter of an hour in the center of the city.

Because her parents were there, Yao Si returned very early every day. She went to Wuming’s winery every morning and porcelain kiln in the afternoon. However, she only took one hour and the remaining two hours were running around the streets and alleys.

Although Lan Xin was not told what to do, she followed the girl every day and understood. The girl was asking for credit brokers nearby. When she found out, she asked if there were any empty shops near the eight official roads, and then went to inquire about other brokers. In short, in a few days, she had contacted at least five or six.

"Does the girl want to rent a shop? What are you doing?" Lan Xin didn't know what the Yao family had plans, and thought it was Yao Si who wanted to rent a shop. She was very strange. She entered school in just two days, so why are you still renting a shop?

"The house in my hometown was smashed and the things were snatched up. The village couldn't survive. My parents and Mr. Mao planned to settle down in Beijing. My mother had good cooking skills. I guess she wanted to open a restaurant, but her parents thought I was still young and had never mentioned these things to me. So I took the initiative to go and inquire first."

Lan Xin was both surprised and admired: "The girl was very considerate. If she had to do with Lan Xin, she would definitely not be able to make any decisions. I compared the five or six companies, which one is better?"

Yao Si's eyes were sly, "The prices quoted by these brokers are different, with the highest and lowest. If I really pass them, I will have to pay an additional commission. I contacted them just to understand the market conditions. Their prices include commissions, so they will naturally be more expensive. If I go directly to the owner, I can spend less money."

Lan Xin was puzzled again: "But the best of the portals I asked about are held in the hands of the broker. How can we talk to the owner?"

Yao Si smiled slightly: "It may not be that the shops in Beijing are all the brokers can't hold them? They are only holding a small part, and there are many shops of high-ranking officials and nobles, but they are all managed by their own families. They will not hand over the property of their families to those retail investors."

Lan Xin finally heard the key point: "So, the girl is planning to rent this shop with the official? Is this good? Officials are all ignorant, and their identities make the shop more expensive than usual, as if---"

"Not cost-effective--I know." Yao Si smiled, "But rent their shops. If they use them well, their identity will be shops, amulets for their parents. There are many people in the capital who make trouble. If they have an identity background, they will naturally have to protect a lot."

Lan Xin looked at Yao Si with admiration: "The girl thought so carefully, she even thought of these things. Lan Xin---I have a suggestion, I'm afraid the girl won't like it."

"You want to say that instead of finding someone you don't know and pay more rent to ensure it is better to find the Wu family, right?"

Lan Xin spread her hands helplessly: "Girl, you have said everything Lan Xin wants to say, and Lan Xin will not have to say anything in the future." She joked.

Yao Si laughed: "No, you come from the Wu family. The Wu family is a businessman, and there are also people who are influenced by it. It is normal for you to think of the Wu family first. In fact, the Wu family is also my choice, but I can't go to visit me directly.

According to Wu Shiwei's current attitude, if I come to my house or ask for it on my own initiative, he will definitely take advantage of me, but I just don't want to take advantage of others, so I won't tell him for the time being, and I want to contact the Wu family in other ways."

Yao Si admitted that there was a shortcut, but she just didn't want to leave. She knew that Wu Shiwei would take more care of her because of Chu Meng, but she didn't want to enjoy this care for granted. She even had to keep a distance alert because she never forgot how hot the golden leaf hanging on her neck was.

She had family behind her. Once Chu Meng's identity as the young master of the righteous army was exposed, she, her family, would be the first to be inseparable from the relationship. According to Zhuang Yan's personality, she completely believed that the person would use all kinds of despicable and even cruel means to deal with her and her family.
