The daily life of Yu Baibai's family after traveling through time

Chapter 136 Pan Shop

The women gathered together and made snacks.

Qiao Mu suggested, "Baibai, your dim sum business is so good, why don't you just open a shop?"

Yu Baibai had an idea and thought it was a good idea. She had thought about this before.

But still a little hesitant:

"But how can I afford to open a shop? The money I earn wouldn't even be enough to rent a shop in the city!"

At this time, Yu Ergou stood up and said:

"Master, if we can all pool our resources, there will always be enough."

Yu Daguo also nodded: "Yes! Besides, our snacks are delicious, and opening a shop will definitely bring in more income!"

Yu Baibai gritted his teeth and said, "After the New Year, my father and I will go to the city to look for shops for rent."

"Mom still has some savings. If it's not enough, come to me for it."

After all, she made some money after traveling through time. She didn't spend any of her money on the way to escape the famine, but now she can use it.

Yu Baibai smiled and nodded: "Yeah!" With the support of his parents, he felt more at ease.

……

The next New Year, Yu Baibai, Yu Yaozu, and two other old men went into the city together.

They asked around and finally found a store with a suitable price.

The store is not big and the location is not very good, but the prices are cheap!

It is said that this shop was harassed by gangsters and could not be opened, so it was sold.

Just two days after the store was sold, thugs smashed the store again under the cover of darkness.

Now no one dares to take over this store, so it has been ruined.

The boss who took over was very worried, but now someone finally asked him about it, and he was very happy.

"Four hundred taels, and I'll give you everything in the store!"

Yu Baibai's eyes widened. Four hundred taels? For such a tiny shop?

"There are two more rooms in the back! I'll show you!"

The shopkeeper was also very tactful. He was afraid of scaring people away, so he just closed the door to prevent people from running away.

Yu Baibai and Yu Yaozu looked at each other, stood up and followed the shopkeeper to the back.

After entering the backyard, there are two houses on the left.

Opposite is the back door, and there is a well in the left corner, which looks quite spacious.

The shopkeeper pointed and said:

"There are two rooms here that are the same size. One can be used for living, and the other can be used for storing miscellaneous items. There is a well over there. It's very convenient!"

"Just go and see! This shop has a bigger backyard than the other shops on this street, which only have one room in their backyards!" The shopkeeper said proudly.

Yu Baibai: Then why don’t you say that no one dares to buy here?

"No, it's expensive and has hidden dangers. Let's go to another one!" Yu Yaozu stiffened his neck and refused to admit it, turning around and leaving.

The shopkeeper hurried over and blocked the road with his hands outstretched:

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't go! Look, we have everything here! We can discuss the price! This is business~"

Yu Yaozu didn't leave either, and sat down on a stool with missing legs nearby:

"Okay, let's talk! Don't talk about four hundred taels, just tell us the number honestly. If you don't sell this house to us, I'm afraid it will be a waste of money. Think it over first."

These people are really hard to fool! They don't look like ignorant old farmers at all.

"Three hundred taels! No less!" The shopkeeper gritted his teeth. This was already much lower than he expected.

Yu Yaozu still shook his head: "One hundred and fifty taels, not a penny more. If you don't sell it, we will go to another store."

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "Why don't you just rob it! I bought it for two hundred taels..."

It's over, my bottom is exposed.

The shopkeeper slapped his face angrily and lowered his head.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Give me two hundred taels, and I'll sell it to you at the original price!"

Ouch! What a loss!

Yu Yaozu shook his head: "I'll take it for one hundred and sixty taels. Besides, look at how badly it's been vandalized. The whole store has to be rebuilt, and we have to take out the garbage. It's very troublesome! Giving you one hundred and sixty taels is my discretion."

"Forget it, forget it. Just consider it a loss and sell it to you!" said the shopkeeper with a painful look on his face.

Yu Yaozu was delighted, but he didn't show it on his face: "It would have been better if this had been done earlier. It would have saved a lot of trouble."

As he said this, he took out one hundred and sixty taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the shopkeeper.

After the transaction was completed, the shopkeeper and Yu Yaozu left to handle the formalities.

Yu Baibai and two old men were cleaning up the garbage in the store. All the windows and other things were smashed.

"Oh! I'll have the boss bring people to open the windows and doors, etc., tut tut!" Grandpa Yu sighed.

He is so old, but his granddaughter still has a house in the city!

Just as I took down the windows and other things in the house, Yu Yaozu came back.

"Baibai, this small courtyard will be yours from now on!" Yu Yaozu shook the deed in his hand.

Qiao Qingfeng was also very happy. After all, this would be his family’s dowry in the future!

If I get married in the future, my husband's family will look up to me.

"Let's go! Go home and find someone to clean up the house! We'll try to open it as soon as possible!"

On the way, Yu Baibai asked curiously, "Dad, how do you know he will definitely sell it?"

Yu Yaozu smiled and patted Yu Baibai's head:

"The problem with that house is obvious. Thugs often go there to smash and destroy things. Who would dare to buy it? And the owner is in a hurry to sell it. If we lower the price, he will definitely agree."

"Dad is still awesome!"

After Yu Yaozu returned home with his family, he began to prepare and consulted with Boss Yu to discuss the matter of repairing the shop.

Soon a group of people gathered in the Yu family compound and drove ox carts to the shop.

They have experience in renovating dilapidated houses, and they have a lot of materials that can be used directly.

When they first arrived, they had nothing and had to go to the mountains to find anything they needed. Compared to that, this was no big deal.

Everyone took their tools, measured the dimensions, sawed the wood, and started working right in the shop.

Repair broken doors and windows, repaint the walls, and replace furniture.

The furniture used were all based on Yu Baibai's drawings. They were all soft sofas used in Yu Baibai's courtyard.

In addition, the aunts took the time to sew curtains, and the fabrics were all curtain fabrics that Yu Baibai took apart from the space.

Just need to shorten it a bit.

The hard and soft furnishings were all worked on together. It was just a small shop, and it was completed in just two days.

There was even time to pull stones down from the mountain to pave the yard, otherwise it would have been even faster!

"You know what, the craftsmanship of my uncle and the others is really amazing!" Yu Baibai sighed as he looked at the bright shop.

"Yeah! If someone asks about furniture or something, I can do some work for them and earn some money."

"Dad, don't worry!" Yu Baibai patted his chest.

Old Master Yu smiled and said, "Then we have to ask the boss to show us some gifts!"

"Great! Baibai loves receiving gifts the most!"

Yu Baibai turned around and said to Master Yu with a smile:

"Grandpa remembers telling uncle that I want to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in town."

Mr. Yu readily agreed: "I'll ask him to buy it when we get back!"

Yu Baibai smiled even more happily, counting on her fingers: "Then I also want to eat candied haws and candied fruits..."
