188 A Restaurant for Sale
According to his estimation, it would be popular for at least 2 weeks.
After the popularity died down, the order volume might be a little less, but it wouldn’t be much less.
“Hehe, I hope so!” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and took the receipt.
“Go to the accountant to settle the bill. I’ll get someone to send the buckets to the ox-cart for you.”
“Alright, thank you!” Lin Xiaoyue then rushed to the cas.h.i.+er.
This time, she delivered 12 buckets of cold cakes, a total of 300 bowls, which earnt her 9 taels of silver.
After receiving the money, Lin Xiaoyue returned to the kitchen.
Then, she went out, got on the xx-cart, and rode it to the street where Qingyun Academy was.
When Lin Xiaoyue arrived, there were already quite a number of small stalls on the street.
Outside the academy, there were many horses and ox-carts waiting for the students.
There were also quite a few people who didn’t bring a carriage and were waiting at the entrance.
Lin Xiaoyue got off the ox-cart and found a good spot. Then, she prepared to set up a stall.
Just as she took out the table and placed the cold cakes on the table, someone from the shop behind came up to her.
“You’re not allowed to set up a stall here!” It was a middle-aged man who was the shop owner.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at him and then at the shop behind.
It was quite a big restaurant that was almost 1.5 times the size of the neighboring store.
However, it was obvious that the business wasn’t good, or rather, it wasn’t profitable as she saw the “for sale” sign on the door.
This street was one of the most prosperous streets in Qings.h.i.+ Town. Moreover, the shop was right next to the entrance of Qingyun Academy. Its location was considered excellent.
When she noticed that there were a few shops nearby that were all restaurants, Lin Xiaoyue understood.
This place was close to the Qingyun Academy, so most of the business depended on the students in the academy.
There were so many restaurants, so the compet.i.tion was definitely high.
However, this shop was bigger and the rent was higher. It would definitely be difficult to sustain.
Lin Xiaoyue had an idea.
“Hey, uncle, I’m sorry! It’s my first time setting up a stall here!” Lin Xiaoyue stepped forward and apologized to the middle-aged man.
Her ox-cart took up a lot of s.p.a.ce. Although it was a little far from the uncle’s shop, it was indeed blocking his way.
When the middle-aged man heard Lin Xiaoyue’s apology, his expression softened.
“But it’s getting late now, and the students from the academy will be dismissed soon. I have a lot of things, and it’s not easy to find a spot. I’ll pay you some money, so can you do me a favor today?” Lin Xiaoyue pleaded.
The middle-aged man paused.
Hearing that Lin Xiaoyue was willing to pay, his expression changed slightly.
“20 wen,” he then said in a deep voice.
She didn’t really block his shop, so it was not a big deal.
However, since she was willing to pay, he would take it.
“Done! Thank you, uncle!” Lin Xiaoyue quickly thanked him.
Then, she took out her wallet and counted 20 coins from it and handed it to the middle-aged man.
“Thank you, uncle!” She thanked him again.
When the middle-aged man saw Lin Xiaoyue taking the money out without any hesitation, he felt much more comfortable.
“Be careful, don’t make this place too dirty.” He reminded her.
“Don’t worry, uncle. I’ll be careful!” Lin Xiaoyue quickly said.
When they set up a stall in the west of the city, they would be charged 10 wen as cleaning fee anyway.
She was selling outside his shop and might dirty the place later. It was not too much to give him some money for the cleaning.
