Chapter 23 Earth Fan
The next day, Ren Baqian was woken up by the anxious Manager Shi before he woke up.
"What's the matter?" Ren Baqian said sleepyly.
"Is what I said last night true or false?" asked Manager Shi.
"The shaved ice shop is true, of course, how can I just talk about it?"
"That's it. Go out and check if there is a suitable shop!" Manager Shi stretched out his hand and picked up Ren Baqian.
"Brother Shi, just look at it. As long as the location is good and the traffic is large, the place doesn't need to be too big." Ren Baqian said helplessly. Isn't it because he is looking for a partner in Shi for a partnership because he doesn't want to work hard?
When Manager Shi left excitedly, Ren Baqian fell on the bed again.
It was noon at sunset, and Ren Baqian was awakened by the squeaking sound.
I thought it was a bird's chirping, but after I opened my eyes and found that it was the two little guys chirping.
It was the first time that Ren Baqian knew that the panda's cry was like this, a bird-like sound.
Seeing that the bamboo basket that was lying on the side had already been empty, and the two guys were gnawing on the bamboo basket, Ren Baqian knew that the two little guys were hungry.
However, when I was about to wear my shoes and go down the ground, I suddenly saw several footprints on the ground that made me feel extremely disgusting.
Two of them were stepped on when I came back last night, and several were stepped on by Manager Shi in the morning.
Ren Baqian was baring his teeth and went out of the house. He found the servant and asked about the location where the grass and meat were delivered to the beast garden last night. Sure enough, there were two baskets of bamboo leaves there.
I carried one in one hand, and it was quite heavy and it looked full of stuff inside.
When he went back and poured the bamboo leaves aside, he was carefully cleaning up the excrement all over the ground.
I thought to myself that it seemed that the two little guys should be put outside.
After breakfast, I took a shower for the two little guys while I was free. I tried a lot of effort to get myself soaked before washing the two struggling guys.
In this world, bathing is made of a plant fruit called bath beans. It is really beans. When taking a bath, you can just grab it and throw it into the water.
After taking a shower, I found two small things to find a clean stone slab and put them on it. Soon I felt dry all over.
This time I felt much more comfortable to hug two more little guys, and the original smell on my body also weakened a lot.
The two rolling forefoots were pressed on Ren Baqian's face and pushed them back hard.
Ren Baqian teased the two little guys for a while, then went to find someone to ask for some deer milk and come back to feed the two panda cubs.
Seeing two panda cubs licking happily, he could have tasted the pleasure of raising pets.
In the afternoon, I would walk around the beast garden and see those familiar or unfamiliar animals.
In the evening, Manager Shi came back and pulled Ren Baqian and said, "I still can't make up my mind. You have to go with me tomorrow."
Seeing him say this, Ren Baqian had to nod.
The next morning, he was pulled out of the beast garden by Manager Shi from the bed.
It was better in the morning, but it wasn't as hot as the day.
This city is called Lancheng. When Dayao was first founded, it was called Jiulan, and later it was changed to Dayao. The name of this city came from here.
The city is divided into nine districts, namely the earliest nine villages.
Beihong, Zhujian, Shuiboping, Yingzui Rock, Goujiazhai, Wudaogou, Baishi, Shihu, Yiwulu.
The first six areas are mainly residential areas, while the last three are commercial areas.
Among them, the Baishi District mainly consists of various weapons, farming tools, and iron tools; the stone pot is mainly traded in leather; the Yiwulu is herbs and animal bones. Ren Baqian and Shi Guanjun went to buy wild beast food in the beast garden on that day.
Of course, there are also a large number of residences in these three districts.
But relatively speaking, the stores are relatively concentrated.
The place where the officials in the court lived was called Beihong District.
In addition, the street from the main city gate to Beihong District is called Jingyuan Road. The best shops are actually on this street. They are mainly sold by foreign merchants here, and there are also a very small number of shops opened by locals.
The two shops found by Manager Shi, one is located in Yiwulu, and the other is in Goujia Village, where his wife and children live.
Ren Baqian accompanied him to two places to check out. The location was OK, not particularly good, but the shaved ice is still the only thing at present, and he is not afraid of competition from others, so the location is slightly less acceptable.
The most important thing is that these two shops are not expensive, each shop and the yard behind are only about ten silver a year.
Of course, this is not expensive according to Ren Baqian.
Manager Shi’s errands are pretty good, his monthly salary is only 6 taels.
This shop requires two and a half months of salary for manager Shi. The two shops are only half a year in total, and there are even more people hiring people, which is even more expensive. No wonder they have to take Ren Baqian to see it.
After all, his salary was to support his wife and children, and if he was greedy for a few sips of wine, there was not much left. This time he let Baqian go and was about to suppress his son's wife.
There was someone in one of the two shops, but he was just preparing to withdraw.
Ren Baqian followed Manager Shi to walk around. The shop was about fifty or sixty square meters, and there were several tables on the counter, so that the pedestrians could sit down and eat shaved ice and rest.
The yard behind the shop is larger than the shop, with a small room where you can live in people and store things.
"Both of these are OK." Ren Baqian told Shi Guanshi after he transferred.
"Okay, my brother's wealth will be suppressed this time." Manager Shi immediately made the decision after Ren Baqian said this.
Afterwards, the two of them walked around the street and admired a street fight. Ren Baqian looked at two more places, one of which was on Jingyuan Road, with the largest number of people coming and going, and of course the rent was also expensive, with nearly 100 taels of silver a year.
"This is too expensive. If you sell shaved ice, you will almost lose money." Manager Shi said while seeing Ren Baqian interested in the shop that was more than 100 square meters on Jingyuan Road.
"It's a loss to sell only shaved ice, how about selling ice?" Ren Baqian suddenly remembered an idea.
"Selling ice? Is it okay? And whoever can make shaved ice at a glance, but they don't have ice. If there is ice, what should we do with our shaved ice shop?"
"Buy ice and make it, and then the melted ones are almost unprofitable. Who can do it? And after eating shaved ice, should it be hot or hot? If you buy a piece of ice and put it at home and have a fan next to it, it will be a simple version of air conditioner. Yes, that's it." Ren Baqian suddenly came up with an idea.
Now that air conditioners are not made, is it not easy to make a simple fan? There is no need to use electric power at all. Just install bearings in the fan, recycle the rubber ring and rope, and then pull the rope down. The fan rotates accordingly. After letting go, the bearing can also drive the fan blades to rotate. It looks similar to the yo-yo that you can see all over the street.
However, this is much more effort-saving than fanning, and it is much cooler. The most important thing is that it is fresh, and I believe many rich people will be interested.
Put a basin of ice in front, and it is absolutely enjoyable in such a high-temperature place.
Even if you don’t put ice or water in the well, it is a cooler tool.
"Hehe, let you see the earth technology from the earth." The more Ren Baqian thought about it, the more he thought this was feasible. He said to the manager: "That's it. I still have some money, so I'll invest it in. Let's rent these three shops first. I'll get something for you to see when I go back."
When Ren Baqian said he wanted to invest money, Manager Shi refused repeatedly: "Brothers, making ice is your way, and you can't let you invest money anymore. If you are sure, I will sell the pot and rent the shop."
