Chapter 91 Manager Su rented the house to them
If you can't rent a place, what other options are there?
Seeing his daughter's determination, Shen Qingchuan immediately advised, "Tang'er, you're still young. Don't make things too hard on yourself. You've already helped your parents earn quite a bit. If we can earn more, we'll earn more. If we can't earn more, we can't force it, can we?"
Shen Xiaotang felt a little guilty. It was all her fault for being too arrogant and not inquiring and making arrangements in advance. Now, a big order came in, but she couldn't handle it.
Now I can only earn half a tael a day, but if I take on a big order, I can earn an extra tael a day.
How could she not be tempted?
How could I be willing to give up?
When Manager Su heard Shen Qingchuan advise his daughter to give up the order for Wanhe Restaurant, he frowned slightly and immediately felt the same way as Shen Xiaotang.
At this moment, the joys and sorrows between people became a common thread!
He finally came up with a way to make Wanhe Restaurant stand out in Dushui County, how could he let the opportunity slip away?
No, no matter what, we have to get the father and daughter to take the order and braise the pig's trotters.
He must get Wanhe Restaurant to also sell braised pig's trotters, so that it can stand out in Dushui County and become the dominant player!
Since the broker doesn't rent out houses, but he has a house, he's willing to provide them with accommodation!
"Brother Qingchuan, Xiaotang, you two don't need to worry anymore. I have a vacant house in Qinghe Town. If you don't mind, you can stay there for now. It's not far from the restaurant, quiet, and convenient for getting around!"
What?
Manager Su has a spare house that he's willing to let them live in?
Is this for real?
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiaotang was immediately thrilled. This Manager Su was truly generous, willing to give their house to their family to live in. This was a great help to them.
Having a place to stay in this town makes it easier to do business.
However, Manager Su is wealthy and has a considerable net worth. His mansion must be large and expensive, and I wonder how big it is.
Earning one and a half taels a day is an astronomical figure for their family, but for Manager Su, it's just the cost of a meal.
Can they afford to rent Manager Su's house?
If all the money we earn each day goes to rent, how will our family survive?
Then why are they still busy all day long, just like in their previous life, becoming mortgage slaves?
She smiled wryly, a hint of embarrassment in her voice, "Manager Su, how big is your house? Is it expensive?"
Manager Su saw through Shen Xiaotang's thoughts and immediately smiled and said, "The house is not small and quite expensive, but you're staying here to supply our restaurant with orders for braised pig's trotters. I won't charge you any money. You can stay here as long as you want. We can talk about it later when you find a place to stay. Is that alright?"
You don't accept money?
Are you just giving them a place to live for free?
The honest and simple-minded Shen Qingchuan immediately said, "No, no, how can we stay in your house for free? If you really don't want to charge us, then we won't stay!"
Shen Xiaotang sighed, thinking to herself that her father was too honest.
Manager Su's house is so big and expensive, even if we wanted to pay for it in real terms, we still couldn't afford it!
However, things were urgent. Manager Su was in a hurry to braise pig's trotters, and they were eager to take on the orders and braise them. The most pressing issue now was finding a place to stay!
Since Manager Su refuses to accept money, but her father insists on paying, we can only find a compromise!
She smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said in a sweet voice, "Manager Su, you are so kind and good-hearted, willing to provide us with lodging without charging us any money. But if we really don't pay a single penny, we'll feel really bad about living here. How about you charge us a little something as a token of your appreciation, and we'll move out when we've saved enough money to buy a small house?"
Shen Qingchuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed.
“Yes, Tang’er is right. Manager Su, if you charge us a little more, we can stay here with peace of mind.”
Manager Su smiled wryly, thinking to himself, "His house is very expensive. If he were to really charge me, you wouldn't even earn enough in a month."
They wouldn't agree to let them stay for free, nor would they accept more money.
How much should we charge?
Shopkeeper Su thought for a moment and said, "Five hundred coins a month, six taels of silver a year, how about that?"
Shen Qingchuan was stunned for a moment, unable to react.
Six taels of silver?
His family built two brick and tile houses, and the total cost was less than six taels of silver.
Why are the houses in this town so expensive?
It costs six taels of silver a year, and since Manager Su is an acquaintance, he will definitely ask for less. If it were a stranger, wouldn't it be even more expensive?
If we were to buy it, how much would it cost?
Can their family still afford a house in this town?
Manager Su noticed that Shen Qingchuan's expression was a little off and wondered to himself, "Did he accidentally order too much?"
This family, young and old, toiled back and forth to make a living, earning only a little money each day. It was truly hard work. Six taels of silver was just the cost of a set of clothes for him, but for a poor farming family, it might be several years' worth of expenses.
No, no, six taels is too high!
He immediately changed his mind and said, "Three taels, three taels of silver a year, is that alright with you?"
Shen Xiaotang immediately smiled and refused, "Thank you, Manager Su, but there's no need to lower the price. Six taels is just right. We've agreed, so let's go with six taels."
After saying that, she immediately tugged at her father's sleeve.
"Dad, we've made money. Don't be stingy with your money. Six taels of silver isn't much. Manager Su's house is big, so six taels of silver is already a super low price."
Let alone a year, it's possible that even a month could be worth six taels of silver!
The mansions of those wealthy families in TV dramas are truly beyond imagination!
Just the fact that Manager Su, at such a young age, owns a restaurant in the town and another in the county, makes him quite wealthy.
No one knew his identity, but he had an extraordinary demeanor and spoke and acted with propriety. Although he owned a restaurant in the county, he often stayed in the town.
However, this is not something she should worry about.
If Manager Su is willing to place an order, she will accept it. They can buy and sell pig trotters, which is mutually beneficial and allows her family to make money as well!
Shen Qingchuan blushed, smiled awkwardly, and whispered, "Father just didn't realize it for a moment. Our family only spent a few taels of silver to build the brick house. Renting a house costs six taels a year. The rent for a year is enough to build another house in Guihua Village. How can Father not be surprised?"
Shen Xiaotang's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly that her father was just a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
There's nothing we can do about it; we're like frogs at the bottom of a well.
She patiently said, "Dad, it is indeed cheap to build a house in Guihua Village. The land is free. But what's the use of building ten or eight houses? We can't sell them for money, and we can't do business in the village. We'll just be poor for the rest of our lives."
Yes!
You can't stay in an empty house and be poor your whole life, can you?
His daughter held his and his wife's hands and led them step by step to the town and then to the county to make braised pig's trotters. They earned money little by little, and now that they have the opportunity to take on big orders and make big money, why are they still staying in their house in Guihua Village?
His daughter was unwilling to be poor her whole life, and so was he!
If a person has never tasted the sweetness of success, he might be willing to stay in the village and work on the farm from morning till night. But now that he has tasted the sweetness, he is no longer willing to just go back to the village to farm!
Turmeric must be planted, roasted sweet potatoes must be sold, and the business of braised pig's trotters must also be done!
After realizing his mistake, he immediately apologized, "I misunderstood. Six taels of silver is indeed not much. We made money from the restaurant, and Manager Su not only provided us with accommodation out of kindness, but also charged such a low price. I just... I am truly ashamed!"
