Chapter 191: Opening a Small Eatery
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
It would be strange if the shop owner wanted her gone.
However, not having to pay a fee sounded good.
“Why not? You can also sell some of your cold cakes in my restaurant. How about you split the profit with me?”
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“If you’re interested, you can order the cold cakes from me. Just like what I did for Ruyi Restaurant, I will deliver them to you every day.”
Interesting.
He wanted to profit without providing any capital.
As expected, once Lin Xiaoyue said this, the smile on the boss’ face disappeared.
Lin Xiaoyue didn’t mind.
She smiled and looked at him.
“Uncle, you want to sell this shop?”
“Yes, are you interested?” He looked at Lin Xiaoyue suspiciously.
Looking at her appearance, she didn’t look like someone who could take over a shop and do business.
However, she said that she provided cold cakes for Ruyi Restaurant, and her cold cake business was doing well. She was indeed not like an ordinary country girl.
“Hehe, yes.”
The shop owner’s expression looked better.
“The location of my shop is not bad. There’s a small courtyard at the back.
You’ve been standing here for a while now, so you can see the customer flow.”
“It’s just that the shop is too big and the rent is high, which is why it’s hard to sustain. If you really want it, the furniture will only cost 20 taels of silver.”
“When I first started, the tables and chairs, as well as the decorations, cost me nearly 30 taels of silver…” Speaking of this, the shop owner’s heart felt a little stifled.
Lin Xiaoyue thought about it.
“How much is the rent?” She asked.
When the shop owner heard that, he looked at Lin Xiaoyue with even more enthusiasm.
She really was interested.
“The place is big, and the rent is indeed more expensive than the shop next to it. It’s 10 taels of silver a month.”
Seeing Lin Xiaoyue frowning, the shop owner quickly said, “but if you take it over from me, you just need to pay a total of 40 taels of rent for the next five months. I’ve signed the contract with the landlord, and it’s a five-month lease period. ”
Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
“The rent is indeed a little expensive.”
The owner looked a little disappointed.
As expected, it was difficult to sublet the place.
At that time, he was too rash and rented this place to start a restaurant business.
He wouldn’t be able to make much money if he continued to drag it out.
Although he didn’t make a loss, he was bound by the contract.
He had a whole family to feed. If this continued, life would not be easy.
“Uncle, I do want to rent a shop, but your place is too big. It’s not realistic tor me.”
Lin Xiaoyue looked at the shop owner, “from what you said just now, it’s because the rent of the shop is too high.”
“I just want to ask if you can give me 30 to 40% of the shop so that I can open a small eatery next to your restaurant.”
“I’ll pay you 4 taels of rent a month!” Lin Xiaoyue said.
She was indeed quite interested in this shop, but it was too expensive.
Moreover, the area was too big for her.
The location of this shop was not bad. It would be perfect if he was willing to share the s.p.a.ce with her.
More importantly, she could save on rent.
In fact, 4 taels of silver was not cheap but her cold cakes were cheap. If she sold them at 4 wen per bowl, she could only earn 3 wen per bowl of cold cakes..
