Quan Zhong looked at Butler Yu in shock. Was there still room for bargaining?

In contrast, Shu Yu’s face was full of pleasant surprise, and she was trying hard to control her expression. She pursed her lips, coughed lightly, and said, “Three taels of silver… To be honest, it’s still a little difficult for farmers like us to afford that. After all, we’re not sure if we’ll be able to make money in the early stages of the store opening, and the rent of the store is a fixed expense.

Hmm…”

She pondered for a moment, then looked up and asked carefully, “Butler Yu, how about this – I’ll pay half a year’s rent in one go, so can you give me a cheaper price? Two, two taels?”

The veins on Intermediary Quan’s forehead twitched as he thought to himself, “Miss Lu, you really dare to say that. Two taels of silver? Why don’t you just rob someone?”

In addition, the rents of Jiangyuan County’s shops were generally paid for a whole year. Some cheaper ones even required one to pay for three years straight in one go.

She wanted to pay for half a year only, yet she still had the nerve to bargain so ruthlessly?

Intermediary Quan was worried that Shu Yu’s insensibility would make Butler Yu unhappy and drive them out. He wanted to laugh it off.

However, after Butler Yu’s expression froze for a moment, he nodded, “Sure.”

Shu Yu was speechless. She had been too hasty and offered too high a rent.

She felt extremely regretful, but on the surface, she looked very happy, “So… So it’s a deal? Can we sign the lease now?”

“Alright,” Butler Yu asked Intermediary Quan to prepare the lease, which would require signatures from all three parties.

In the meantime, Butler Yu suddenly remembered something, “Pardon me for asking, Miss Lu, but what kind of shop do you intend to open?:

If it was a grocery store, then forget it. Opening a grocery store in this area would definitely be unprofitable.

Shu Yu said, “A ready-to-wear clothes shop.”

“A ready-to-wear clothes shop?” Butler Yu was stunned. He suddenly had a feeling that the business might be even more unprofitable than he thought.

Shu Yu smiled, “Don’t worry, Butler Yu. We’ll take good care of the shop. Also, I just looked at the layout of the shop. There won’t be any big changes, but some cabinets might need to be moved.”

Was that what he was worried about?

Still, Butler Yu was only a butler, and he didn’t know much about business. Besides, as long as this shop wasn’t selling things like incense and joss paper, he wouldn’t stop them.

Intermediary Quan quickly brought the lease over and let both parties sign it.

Shu Yu paid twelve taels of silver for the rent and five taels of silver as a deposit on the spot.

With this, she had lost seventeen taels of silver in one go. Her heart ached.

After the matter was settled, Butler Yu did not want to stay any longer. It just so happened that he had ridden everything that needed to be thrown away in the shop, so he planned to return to town.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, “Oh right, Miss Lu, there are still some makeup products left in the shop. I don’t know if you need them, but I can leave them all for you.”

Either way, the Lord had asked him to deal with those things. If he could sell them, then he would. If he couldn’t, he didn’t want to bring them back either.

In fact, Shu Yu needed the makeup very much. She was a stylist, so she did have a large demand for makeup.

But just now, Intermediary Quan had said that the better goods had all been bought by the shop opposite. The customers she targeted were the rich. She might ruin her reputation if she used this kind of makeup.

That being said, the makeup products sold by the Yu family were still of passable quality. Even if they were slightly inferior, farmer families from Shangshi Village might not be able to afford them. She could take them back and use them as gifts.

Shu Yu nodded, “Butler Yu, you’re such a good person.”

Butler Yu chuckled, “Miss Lu, isn’t it a little too late for you to be flattering me now that the lease has been signed?”
