Vol 4 Chapter 172: Walking Street No. 97

No. 97, Pedestrian Street, Beta Town, where the ‘D&K’ shop is located.
As the town of Beta, or the most prosperous commercial street on Phuket Island, there are hundreds of large and small shops with different main businesses and different reputations on the pedestrian street.
Well-known ones, such as the office of Martin Toddler Alchemy Company in Beta Town, or the First University Branch of Fizil Magic Pharmacy Company, or the Green Grocery Store, which focuses on wholesale department stores-these companies are not only in Phuket, It is well-known in the wizarding world and even in the multiverse.
The less famous, there is the Miaomiao dessert shop next to Shuangtangji, and the
Dingding Finance and Insect Company
which is holding the opening ceremony. These shops are either not established for a long time or have not officially opened, although Those well-known store companies are all standing on the same street, but the eyes of passersby often slip from their signs and fall on other more famous stores.
It must be admitted that, as a newly opened store, the name "Ding Ding Finance and Insect Company" is a little bit confusing. Although the signature'D&K' has tried its best to simplify the complexity of the original name, it is difficult to say what the first university students are impressed with this new company-if you must say that D&K will leave you What impression, maybe that impression comes more from the neighbor of'D&K', the wandering bar.
Yes, the location of D&K is located diagonally opposite the Wandering Bar.
When decorating the shop, Zheng Qing once tried: if he stands behind the shop window, he can clearly see every wizard who enters and exits the wandering bar, and sees the runes embroidered on their robes. Sometimes I can still see the pink tongue popped by the stray frog.
This is not a good thing.
Because the wizarding world is like other worlds in the multiverse, the more you know, the more dangerous it is.
Zheng Qing didn't want to rent this shop either.
On the one hand, the hunting team’s budget is very limited-excluding other costs such as stocking and decoration, the rental budget left for them is less than fifty jade coins. If you are in the north or south district of Beta Town, fifty jade coins can buy a mansion villa with a separate garden; even in the west or east district of Beta Town, fifty jade coins can rent a spacious storefront .
But this is a pedestrian street.
This is the most prosperous commercial street of the First University.
In this business district, fifty jade coins were thrown in, and even no sound was heard.
It is also close to the stray bar, a gray market with a reputation of "Chou" and "Zhao Yangzhu". There are many unscrupulous wizards coming and going. There are often "magic rampage incidents", which leads to the rent of a small area around the bar on this street. A collapse was formed. Only then did the Youxin Hunting Team give a chance to pick up a miss that can't be called a'leak pick'.
As for the other reason why Zheng Qing finally decided to rent this shop, it was because the shop at No. 99 Pedestrian Street was only one shop away from No. 97 Pedestrian Street.
The sign of this shop is Sanyou Bookstore.
That's right, Zheng Qing used to copy posts for more than ten years, the Sanyou Bookstore opened by Mr. Wu in Yunhua Community. The names are exactly the same.
Because the door face of Shop No. 99 is a bit concave, and because the door has not been opened for a long time, and the signs are covered with dust, the young public-funded students did not notice the name of Shop No. 99 at first.
When the young wizards of the Yougui Hunting Team stood outside the shop to discuss whether to rent the shop, their discussion alarmed the owner of shop No. 98, Akiko Mu, located between D&K and Sanyou Bookstore. It’s a shop that sells all kinds of weird amulets as its main business. The name of the shop is the same as the name of the shop owner. Both are called "Makiko". But I don’t know whether it is because the shop is selling amulets made of amber wood or because the owner’s road number His name is Mu Mingzi.
In short, when the young wizards and the intermediary engaged in fierce and tense negotiations on rent and leasing outside the 97th shop, the shop owner Mu Mingzi opened the window of Mu Mingzi's shop, poked his head out, and pointed at the sharp-mouthed monkey cheek. The intermediary shouted:
"Mr. Crystal has said that these shops surrounding the Wandering Bar are not suitable for business... Anyway, you are an old man in the town, why are you cheating these young dolls?!"
Crystal mother-in-law Zheng Qing knew that it was shop No. 96 on the pedestrian street, which was the nickname of the shop owner on the left hand side of the shop Zheng Qing planned to lease.
Shop No. 96 is a fortune-telling shop. It is said that the owner is a very superb psychic and has high attainments in crystal ball fortune-telling. Many girls who believe in old-school fortune-telling like to sit in this shop on weekends.
After hearing Mu Mingzi's warning, the young wizards were shocked and took a step back subconsciously, as if they had planned to give up signing.
The intermediary was in a hurry.
"Mr. Crystal curses many guests to death every day... But the death rate in Beta Town has never been so high, hahahaha." The slightly hunched intermediary gave a haha, and looked nervously at several young wizards. Relaxed: "If you sincerely want to rent, I can reduce the annual rent to sixty-five jade coins."
Originally he planned to ask for the rent of 70 jade coins, but with Mu Mingzi's disturbance, Mr. Intermediary decided to cut the mess quickly and rent out the shop first. It's so easy to meet a few silly young people, and we must not let them run away.
"If you don't believe me, you can take a look at the Sanyou Bookstore next to me." Noting the hesitation of the young wizards, Mu Mingzi called out again: "...Because I opened near the Wandering Bar, the business was so bad that only Spider Ken Visit this store."
"Sanyou Bookstore?!" Zheng Qing gave a stunned look~EbookFREE.me~, turned his head back, and looked at the shop sign.
Sure enough, through the thick dirt and dust, the big characters of Sanyou Shuwu could still be discerned vaguely.
He walked a few steps and came to the window of the bookstore—unsurprisingly, just like the Sanyou Bookstore in Damingfang, this Sanyou Bookstore was also dead. Except for a few empty bookshelves, there are only criss-cross spider webs and little spiders crawling around.
"Forty jade coins." Zheng Qing turned around and looked at the intermediary: "The annual rent is forty jade coins, we will rent... and we will sign a four-year long-term contract with you!"
"Forty-five pieces, I guarantee that the annual rent will not increase by more than 5%!" The intermediary hesitated for a while and immediately issued new conditions.
"Deal!" Zheng Qing stretched out his hand and shook hands with the intermediary.
The other wizards in the Yougui Hunting Team noticed the serious expressions of the public servants and kept silent. However, Mu Mingzi cursed in a low voice, "I don't know the good people's minds", and then retracted his head back and closed the shop window again.
