Chapter 194: Chapter 194: As She Wished
"Let’s go, I’ll take you to see," Jian Zhiqing grabbed Qin Xiangnuan’s hand again, and this time Qin Xiangnuan was also calm about it, treating it as a brotherly gesture toward a sister, telling herself not to overthink it.
Jian Zhiqing took her to a place not far from where she sold her pancakes. There was a row of vacant houses here; they used to be shops selling something, but they had been empty for the last few years, unused and locked up.
"I’ve arranged for someone to renovate this space for you, you can sell your scallion pancakes here. From now on, you can have your stove and everything set up inside."
Qin Xiangnuan was shocked because she had actually thought about this place on her first day, but she had inquired around and learned it wasn’t for rent, otherwise, she would have rented it long ago. Having a proper shop would have been great.
It would make everything more convenient, no more having to haul a stove back and forth on a tricycle every day, and she could install another stove to make more pancakes. Plus, she wouldn’t have to worry about the weather anymore.
"Brother Jian, are you serious?" She excitedly grabbed Jian Zhiqing’s sleeve.
"Can I really sell pancakes here?" she asked, her eyes very clear and bright. The fingers clutching Jian Zhiqing’s clothes were chapped from the cold, though not severely, and thankfully, her face hadn’t been frostbitten. Having put on a little weight recently, she looked even more charming.
"Yes," Jian Zhiqing took her frostbitten fingers in his palm and then pulled her forward, "I plan to knock through this wall, install a roll-up door, so you can just store your things inside and simply pull the door up to open. It’s very easy and won’t take much time. As for the other areas around here, it’s uncertain how many years they’ll last, but we’ll use them for as long as we can, and we’ll deal with whatever happens when it gets torn down."
Qin Xiangnuan didn’t worry too much about that. She remembered that this park was supposed to be demolished to make way for skyscrapers, and even the park would disappear then, so of course, these places wouldn’t last either. She wasn’t concerned with how many years it would take; she’d take it day by day, and if it came down to it, she’d go back to setting up a street stall. Besides, she didn’t plan to keep doing this forever; once she got into college, she would think of some other business. By then, it would be a new era of rapid change, and selling pancakes might be outdated.
"Brother Jian, when do we start knocking down the walls?" Qin Xiangnuan asked, unable to hide her eagerness. If it could be done by tomorrow, she could move in and start selling.
"No rush, I’ll find someone for it, you don’t need to worry," Jian Zhiqing tightened the scarf around Qin Jinuan that had come loose, his eyes slightly squinted as he stared into hers, "You also need a few days to inform your customers about the move, otherwise they won’t find you, they’ll be hungry, and you’ll lose money."
"Oh yeah, how did I not think of that?" Qin Xiangnuan felt a little too excited and had forgotten the most important thing. She covered her eyes with her hand to block the sunlight, the sunset was infinitely beautiful.
Tomorrow is likely to be another great day.
They didn’t stay outside for long; Jian Zhiqing had to go find people to get the door fixed and installed sooner, and preferably put up a sign as well so that everyone would know what Qin Xiangnuan was selling. The sooner it was done, the earlier Qin Xiangnuan wouldn’t have to ride the tricycle anymore.
It was tough even for a big man, let alone for a young girl.
Qin Xiangnuan was also busy. She went to the vegetable market and bought a lot of vegetables. Today, she needed to make extra dishes. Although saying "thank you" seemed too simple, it seemed to be the only thanks she could offer, along with a simple meal.
