Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Seeing that she had chosen both corner-lot shops, Zhou Dong asked, “Will the one in the middle be better?”

Manager Xiao shook his head and whispered, “Brother, 1 can tell you’ve never done business before. The shop in the middle is often the shop that people despise the most.

“Unless you have a unique product or the quality of your product is better than others’, you will always have fewer businesses than the shops on both ends.

“Coincidentally, the locations of the two shops Mrs. Gu had chosen are excellent.

“The shop next to the cart shop is suitable for food-related business, especially for snacks and dry food that could be taken away.

“The other shop is next to a teahouse and a cloth shop. As long as you don’t start a business related to them, your business wouldn’t be bad.”

Zhou Dong was stunned when he heard that. He did not expect there to be so many details when choosing a shop.

He scratched his head with a silly smile and said, “I’ll listen to Madam’s suggestion then.”

At the same time, Zhou Ying also had a plan. She nodded and asked Manager Xiao, “Brother Xiao, please make an appointment with the owners of the two shops.”

“Alright, you guys go to the teahouse and take a seat. 1’11 be right back.”

After Manager Xiao left, Zhou Ying brought Zhou Dong to the teahouse. This place was a combination of three shops, so it was spacious inside. It was even divided into many small rooms with wooden boards.

The environment was great.

After entering, she ordered a pot of black tea and two plates of dried fruits. Zhou Ying brought Zhou Dong to a single room for six people and sat down.

She looked at Zhou Dong and said, “If you want to sell snacks, choose the shop near this one. If you want to open a food shop, choose the one by the cart shop.

“However, the cart shop and its vicinity are relatively chaotic. If you want to open a shop safely, you must be on good terms with the owner of the cart shop.”

Zhou Dong asked curiously, “What do I sell if 1 choose the one near the cart shop? Steamed buns, flatbread, and baked goods?”

“Any of them is fine, but if you want to make money, you must sell meat-related products.

“For example, roasted meat, mutton offal soup, beef offal soup, and so on. You can also think of some side dishes, braised vegetables, and alcohol.

“In this way, a month’s worth of your income will be equivalent to a small restaurant.”

“Is it that profitable?” Zhou Dong asked in surprise.

“Of course, but it also depends on your cooking skills. As long as you can cook up something tasty, a food-related business near a cart shop will definitely not be bad.”

“I understand. I’ll have to discuss it with my wife first.”

Zhou Ying nodded and did not persist. Instead, she asked him about their lives over the years.

She didn’t ask any further questions after learning that, despite some grievances, they had survived the years relatively unscathed.

Later, Zhou Ying asked the shop assistant about the price of the row of shops opposite them. After learning that before the disaster, a shop here could sell at least 2,000 taels of silver, she was confident in the purchase.

About 15 minutes later, Manager Xiao walked in with a man and a woman.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, they found out that four of the five empty shops on this street used to run food shops, and the one in the middle was a small pharmacy.

This year was not a good one; business was bleak, and their family needed more money. That was why they were selling their shops.

After a round of bargaining, the two shops were set at 1,500 taels each.

After that, both parties confirm the deal.

Of course, Zhou Dong didn’t want ownership of the shop; he only wanted to borrow it.

After getting the shop deed, Zhou Ying returned to the city’s east. She gave Manager Xiao 30 taels of silver as a commission and asked, “Manager Xiao, I wonder if you sell servants?”

“Servants? How many people does Madam Gu want? Do you have any requirements?”

“I want four maids, four male servants, and six elderly women.

“As for the requirements, I want someone who has been trained well and understands the rules. Another requirement was that those who know cooking or martial arts would be prioritized.” Zhou Ying hesitated momentarily and then replied after considering her residence’s situation..
