After finishing their meal at Wang Youbao's place, An Jing and Xiao Changyi went back home.
Then, An Jing and Xiao Changyi began to discuss the matter of buying property to open a rice store.
Since Sixteen Town was too small, it obviously made more sense to go directly to the county to open the store.
"My dear, tomorrow we shall go to the county to find a property agent to buy a store, and then, we'll look for a labor broker to hire some long-term workers for our rice store," An Jing said.
Brokers here work as middlemen in all kinds of businesses. Those who deal in property are called property brokers; those who trade in people, contracting long-term workers, servants, etc., for large households, are known as labor brokers.
"Hmm," Xiao Changyi had no objections.
"As for the shopkeeper..." An Jing felt a headache coming on. She wanted to find a shopkeeper they could trust to manage the rice store, but she really didn't feel at ease employing someone they didn't know.
