As Wen Yunxi returned to Pingxiba, Yi Hongfei publicly announced that she would become the leader of the Zhanyue clan, which made the already chaotic Zhanyue clan even more conflicted.
Just when everyone was talking about it, a piece of news stirred up waves.
"What did you say?! The commercial street is open?!"
"No, they said it will open in a month. The store is now for rent."
"Then why are you excited? You can't afford to rent those shops."
Before the commercial street was built, it was published in the newspaper. Just one piece of news attracted merchants of all sizes in Black Rock City to rush to make reservations. Although the rental situation has not been announced yet, I knew it would not be cheap.
“I can’t afford to rent a shop, but there are stalls available for rent.”
After hearing this, everyone's minds lit up, and those who were interested ran home to raise money. Those who were not interested also changed the topic and talked about the group of salesmen hired by Wen Yunxi. For a while, there were voices of envy everywhere.
The change of clan leader is related to the interests of the entire clan and should be of vital importance to the Zhanyue clan. However, looking at the current situation, Yi Hongfei is backed by Wen Yunxi's big tree, and has the support of the garrison from the north and south and Hong Dong. Although she is a woman, she is quite disadvantaged. , but under such power, the opponents could not hold on for long. They had lost interest in talking about things that were not suspense for these days.
On the day of leasing, Pingxiba was crowded with people.
A bullock cart parked at the door. As soon as the people inside got off the car, they were immediately taken away by the waiting guide.
"No wonder I was covered up so tightly before. It's really different."
Shopkeeper Liu turned sideways and whispered to Shopkeeper Li next to him. The two of them were quite familiar with each other, so they came together this time to have a discussion.
"Actually, it's not unexpected. After all, it's not much different from the hospital."
The two followed the guide up to the second floor. The layout upstairs was more compact and square. Rows of adjacent rooms were separated by two-foot-wide corridors. Now there was no signboard. If it weren't for the numbers, you wouldn't be able to tell where they were when walking inside. .
"Why is it like this?"
After walking through the two aisles, shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but ask the commentator.
A Le stopped explaining when he heard this and said with a smile: "The shops on the second floor are divided according to categories. The same category is placed together to facilitate price comparison for customers."
"How can this be done? If there are no stores next to each other, then we can't fight."
He is in the business of buying and selling treasures. How can he be asked to shop around like this? If the porcelain is dirty and he doesn't buy it, who will he cry to?
A Le knew about the business of the two big bosses behind him. When he saw that neither of them agreed, he continued: "Don't worry, you two. Commercial Street No. 1 is just a small shop. I will take you to Commercial Street No. 2."
Shopkeeper Liu took a deep breath, looked at Shopkeeper Li, and followed A Le downstairs.
The two of them had been concerned about the news when they heard about the commercial street. Firstly, they wanted to use it to establish some business relationships with Wen Yunxi. Secondly, they were also optimistic about the development of Qingzhu Hospital. Since the hospital opened, there has been a steady stream of people coming to see the doctor. Although most of them have weak legs, there are also wealthy people. These people treat diseases in the hospital. Even if the patient does not need it, the accompanying relatives and friends also have needs for food, clothing, housing and transportation. If they have money and leisure, they are their customers.
Pingxiba is square and square, with Commercial Street No. 1 at the entrance. Qingzhu Hospital is across from Commercial Street No. 1. Outside Qingzhu Hospital is a wide square. Commercial Street No. 2 faces Qingzhu Hospital across the square.
A Le led the two of them through the lively snack area in the square. As soon as they stepped into Commercial Street No. 2, shopkeeper Liu nodded with satisfaction before he could introduce them. Compared with the compact No. 1 Commercial Street, No. 2 Commercial Street is quite impressive. There are two-story buildings with their own characteristics scattered in an orderly manner. They not only have front and back yards, but also a viewing platform and a small garden. Even if it has not yet been renovated, you can still imagine its beauty after careful decoration.
Seeing that the two of them were smiling again, A Le was relieved and led them towards the center again, "This building is our boss's Wanbao Building. In addition to selling our own goods, other bosses' goods are also sold." You can hang it here too.”
Wanbao Building is different from other buildings. Not only does it occupy more than twice the area, but it also has a rather simple appearance. The square appearance of piled stones would look the same as the Qingzhu Hospital opposite if it weren't for the rooftop garden.
"Wanbao Tower...I wonder what treasures Divine Doctor Wen wants to sell?"
Shopkeeper Liu has been dealing with treasures for decades, but he has never seen such a large treasure shop. The so-called treasures are naturally rare, and they are about beauty. Even porcelain should not need such a large place to display.
Ah Le felt proud and immediately said the answer he had memorized, "A drop of oil, a grain of rice, and a thread are all treasures to those who need them."
Shopkeepers Liu and Li were stunned when they heard this, then shook their heads and said with a smile: "It turns out to be a grocery store. This is a good name."
After viewing the No. 2 Commercial Street, it was already close to noon. The two of them had a happy place in their hearts and were waiting to auction it off at the venue later.
Before the three of them walked out of the commercial street, they were salivated by the fragrance outside. A Le touched the copper coins in his arms and made a gesture of invitation to the two of them.
On normal days, the two of them might have put on some airs, but this was Pingxiba. Apart from the canteen of Qingzhu Hospital, there were only food stalls outside. If they didn't eat, they would just starve.
In the past, they might have felt neglected, but it was different now. If they were given the courage, they would not dare to complain.
As a lecturer, Ah Le had twenty cents as salary, plus five cents per person for food reimbursement. He calculated in his mind and took Shopkeeper Liu and the others to the right.
Some of the food stalls in the morning had changed their appearance. The sugar water snacks had turned into various stews and stir-fries. People wearing red armbands could be seen everywhere.
When Ah Le got there, there were already more than 20 people lined up in front of the stall. He first went to the stall to have a look, and after confirming that it was a clay pot meal, he happily led the people back.
"We are in for a treat today. We don't get to eat this on weekdays."
Shopkeeper Liu glanced at the rough clay pots and followed A Le with disgust on his face. Who asked them to beg to rent a shop? No matter how short the eaves were, he would have to bend himself inside.
A Le seemed to feel the dislike of the two people and was afraid of being criticized by them. He quickly explained: "I don't mean to neglect the distinguished guests, but the canteen of Qingzhu Hospital is now strictly inspected. Without a food card, you can't get food."
Seeing that their faces were still sad, A Le continued: "Don't look at it as just a small stall. The person who cooks the food is the chef of the cafeteria. The crock pot rice was also taught by our supervisor at Su University. It is very delicious."
When the two of them heard this, their expressions immediately improved. The cafeteria chefs and others looked down upon him, but Su Qiao was Wen Yunxi's most trusted subordinate. After eating his earthen pot rice, he would have something to talk about in the future.
At this moment, a group of people came towards this side, surrounded by a young man in brocade clothes. They seemed to be attracted by the smell of the clay pot rice. Although they looked disgusted, they still glanced at the people beside him who were complimenting him.
The man quickly took out a piece of silver and threw it over, "Ten bowls, hurry up."
Chef Zhang frowned when he heard this and was about to refuse, but the boy who was originally first in line jumped ahead and said, "You have to line up at the back. The newest bowl is mine." (End of Chapter)
