They then paid the money.

“If you’re satisfied with the food, 1 hope you can help me promote it in the academy.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled cheekily.

Only then did she put the money into her wallet.

“Of course!” They replied with a smile.

They took the cold cakes and continued to eat.

It’s so refreshing!

Suddenly, one of them recalled what she said.

…..

“Did you just say you wanted to open a shop?” He asked Lin Xiaoyue.

“Yes. Mr. Qin agreed to share the space in his restaurant and let me open an eatery next to him. Please come more often!” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.

Their eyes lit up.

“Of course! Your cold cake tastes good and the price is affordable. We’ll definitely come here often in the future!”

“If you open a shop, your business will definitely be good!”

“Hehe, I hope so!”

With the occasional scholars and passersby buying from her, Lin Xiaoyue’s few remaining cold cakes were quickly sold out.

Lin Xiaoyue and Aunt Wang closed the stall.

Li Xiao came back before they finished packing up.

Mr. Qin had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Li Xiao, he quickly came over.

Lin Xiaoyue asked Aunt Wang to pack up the remaining things and looked at the ox-cart.

Then, she and Li Xiao followed Mr. Qin into the restaurant.

Lin Xiaoyue finally had the opportunity to look at the restaurant more clearly.

The area was indeed very large. There were twenty tables in the front hall.

Because there were too many tables and almost no seats were taken, it often seemed that business was cold.

In such a situation, not only would it affect the customers’ mood, it would also stop others from entering the shop when they saw that it was deserted.

Not only was the front hall large, but the backyard was also large.

There was also a well in the courtyard, and the kitchen was located in the backyard. “Since you won’t have your own kitchen, we’ll just share it,” Mr. Qin said to Lin xiaoyue. “Sure! However, I have to build a shed here to store some miscellaneous items.” Lin Xiaoyue pointed to a corner on the right side of the courtyard.

“Sure.” Mr. Qin nodded.

He told Lin Xiaoyue some other things before leading her to the front hall again.

“That’s it. If you’re sure, I’ll go to the landlord tonight. If he agrees, we can sign the contract tomorrow.” Mr. Qin said.

Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up. “Of course, no problem.”

“As for the rent and deposit…” Lin Xiaoyue looked at Mr. Qin.

“Can you do me a favor? Can we pay the rent by season, and can the deposit be less?” Lin Xiaoyue put on a troubled look. “We still need to spend money on the renovation of the shop. It’s a little difficult to take out so much money at once.”

Mr. Qin thought for a moment. “It’s more expensive to pay the rent seasonally. Let’s do it on an annual basis.”

“I paid the rent for the entire year, and there are still five months left. You don’t have to pay the rent to the landlord for the time being. The deposit is two months’ rent, which 1 paid back then.”

“If it’s hard for you, you can give me a quarter’s rent first. I’ll help you pay the deposit first. But you have to give me the deposit before you open for business.”

After he went home last night, he found out that the job that his wife’s brother wanted to introduce him to didn’t work out.

In that case, they might as well continue to run the restaurant..
